Ship's Log, Stardate 11712.10.  With Counselor Daniels removal our pressure to find a way out has increased dramatically.  The blocker I am unable to see a way around is the massive metal orderlies.  But we need to find a way past them, somehow.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Laying on his bunk, staring at the ceiling, trying to think of something::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Self: Just how tough are those orderlies?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In quarters/ cell, waiting for the door to open, still looking for anything useful to our situation in the now thoroughly explored room.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::laying on her bed, on her side facing the wall.::

ACTION: The door to the CO and CTO's rooms unlock.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Springs upright on his cot::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::In the Common Room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and walks for the door, reverting to the light counting routine once through the door.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Approaches the door looking to see if anyone will enter::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::See's the CO come out iof his own cell and steps out himself::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Does this mean that time out is over?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Until I hear otherwise.  That attempt we made did not succeed, obviously.  We need to figure a way past them.  Your strength and my speed don't seem enough to overcome their build.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Perhaps we should use my strength and your speed in different ways.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::looks toward her door and through the window, she noticed the others in the common area, she gets up and tries to open her door::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Anything specific in mind?  A couple Phasers and this would be easy, but our tools are rather...inadequate.

ACTION: OPS finds door is not locked.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: If I could raise enough of a distraction, perhaps you could make it to those elevators.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she opens the door and steps out::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If we had a key it might be useful, but it isn't just getting one of us out.  We have 7 of us plus the Earhart crew.  Numbers are essential to finding a way out I would guess.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Working on a jig-saw puzzle, waiting for the others in the Common Room::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
:: Was walking the circle and runs into OPS::  OPS: Are you going to the Common Room?  I think that is where we are meeting.  If we congregate in the hall, we'll get a demerit.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
Cash:  I guess.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Let's get the others together.  See if we can brainstorm something.  ::Heads to the Common Room.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Follows the CO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Enters the Common Room and makes for Price.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CTO/CO: I'm glad you're out of your rooms.  Come.  Sit around this table, act like we are all working on this puzzle.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Sits, counts the lights, then starts inspecting the pieces.::  XO: We need to make our moves before we all get taken out one by one.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Enters Common Room with OPS.  Sees the others:: OPS: There they are.  ::Goes and joins them at the puzzle table::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Sits down at the table and starts looking around... where is the nearest orderly and where is the nearest nurse?::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::follows Cash to the Puzzle Group and sits down,::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CTO: Did you find out anything about your friend, the Counselor?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Price: Nothing, but questions will be answered soon if I have anything to say about it.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CTO/All: You're never going to get anything out of Nurse Ratched.  If you want intel, you have to go to their weakest link.  She's the nurse in the pink scrubs.  We nick-named her, Nurse Blab.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
XO: Actually, I think any nurse will do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: That is a start.  What we need to do is find the weak link in the orderlies.  Any weaknesses you've seen so far?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: We're still trying to figure out the robot’s energy source.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: If you'll excuse me I need to find something to drink.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
All: I think we need to list our obstacles and tackle them one by one.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS/ Cash: I think you both are as close as we can get to engineers.  Any ideas on the orderlies power systems?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Cash: Orderlies are the biggest problem.  Keys from the nurses won't be an issue once we find a way around the orderlies.  After that it is find our missing crews and a way to get back to our ships.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
:: Looks around the room as if he's looking for something ::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Approaches a nearby nurse::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
All: That means we need a way to shut down this whole place, all orderlies, all nurses and all floors.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: Excuse me, but is there someplace I could get a drink of water? I'm feeling thirsty.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: What's the matter with the sink in your room?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Nurse: I just thought there might be a water source more convenient.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: Don't bother me, I'm busy.  ::She walks away::

ACTION: There's an alien male standing on the sofa, in his underwear, flapping his arms like he was a bird.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::With lightning reflexes he grabs the nurse from behind, placing a headlock around her head, and quickly drags her backwards into a wall.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
All: Anybody tries anything and I'll snap her head off!

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse One>: CTO: Turn me loose or you'll be sorry.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stands, getting ready to move.::  All: Be ready, because ready or not we have to move soon.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
ALL: I want answers right now, and I want our crewmembers to be brought back!
Nurse: I'm already sorry, but regardless, If my demands are not met, you will be dead.  You think a Klingon warrior needs weapons to kill his enemies?  Keep thinking.

ACTION: Several orderlies approach the CTO.  A little door opens and a weapon appears.  CTO is fired upon and hit.  He is stunned.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse ONE>:: While the CTO is stunned, she breaks free of his grasp.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Shakes head.::  All: That didn't go well.  How bad is that for him?

ACTION: Two orderlies clamp on the CTO's arms and escorts him to his room.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: Maybe we could try Nurse Blab.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Old Alien Female Patient>:: Once again tugs gently on OPS' sleeve:: OPS: Are you going to the circus?  ::Then, she walks away::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Worth a try.
All: Also, try the "insane" actions to keep them from picking you.  Not positive it will help but...
::Counts lights and looks for nurse Blab.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: She's usually by the nurse’s station.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Goes with the CO and XO::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
<Nurse Blab>:: Working alone at the nurses station::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks to the nurses station.::  Nurse Blab: Good day, is there anything on the schedule for the light set up?  I've counted what is here already.  And with Wally gone I'm not sure what else to do.  Where did he go to?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Blab>: CO: I assure you, I'm not in the habit of giving out information to patients.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
Nurse Blab: Why did they take him so soon?  He had only been here a week.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::she is not sure what to do next as she is fearful of the staff here learning her closely guarded secret.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse Blab: I'm not looking for information, I'm looking for my friend.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
<Nurse Blab>: All: I'm not saying a word… but, if you ask me, your little yellow-haired friend never should have said what he said.  Our language translators couldn't exactly tell what “ugly troll” means.  However, it was decided it didn't mean something complementary.  Besides, he had a lot of demerits.

ACTION: An orderly approaches the group.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nurse Blab: Troll is a small toy on his home world, very loved.  And he was gathering his demerits to spread Yuletide joy.
