Ship's Log, Stardate 11802.25, Captain Ayidee recording.  After last night's "Circus" our urgency to get out of here and return to Federation space has grown.  We have the start of a plan, but how to disable the Orderlies is still a question we need to answer.  Fast.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Entering Common Room after the long, thoughtful night.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::In the Common Room, after breakfast, working on the jig-saw puzzle with Commander Cash::

OPS_Nash says:
::with everyone in the Common Room::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::sees the CO entering the room and nods:: CO: Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Good day.  Any ideas come to anyone overnight about how to achieve the first step?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
All: I think the first step of our plan should be to get at least one key, either from a nurse or orderly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: So shut down the orderlies using the access from the key rather than the other way around?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: The old distraction method seems to me to be the most simple and logical to get a key. Distract the nurse and pickpocket the key.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: With a key we can access the control room if there is one there, in the center of this ring, I mean.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CIV: A diversion in this room might work in getting a key and keeping the orderlies and staff busy while Kyleigh and I do our thing.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I can create a distraction by simulating an anger burst... or a collapse would be more suitable considering my age... ::raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: And a diversion is the easiest part of the plan to come up with.  Once a patient gets unruly, it seems most of the staff turn to it.  If more than one patient were involved, it would almost guarantee a majority response at least.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CIV: All an anger burst might do is get you taken to your room and we want the corridor vacated, a collapse or riot might be better.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Riot, or as close as they've seen in some time.  Need to make them think they need all hands.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Best distraction would be if everyone ran around with no clothes on.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Ok.. Then if Kyleigh and Cash goes for the control room... who will volunteer to join me in creating some Federation style mayhem?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
OPS: You first.  ::Smiles::

OPS_Nash says:
::lets a little laugh escape::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: I'm in, and to be honest, the more the better.  All except our Operations staff, who will need to try and find the access.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CIV: Q'ten and I will join you, too.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: So when they serve the meal, we loudly protest and start an uprising.  The food "quality" may serve as a recruitment tool.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Ok.. Maybe we need to start a fight... ::looks at Q'ten:: A Vulcan and a Klingon dispute to ignite a full mess hall fight...

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CIV: Can you pick a pocket?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
XO: It's been a while... kinda rusty now... but I can manage... and ::looks at all:: do not ask me how I know to pickpocket. Those files are encrypted.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Then at lunch we make the move.  Once you have the key, give it to Cash and Nash and then join in the uprising.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: You and I will quietly make our exit once the room is full of orderlies and staff.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Nash says:
OPS_Cash:  Sounds like a plan.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Never thought I'd say this here, but when is lunch?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: So, we're doing this today then.  Once we start, there's no stopping.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That is very important.  There will not be another chance.
OPS Nash/ Cash: If you find a way, also see if you can sent word to the Federation, let them know what this place is so they can take steps to avoid it.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  That goes without saying, Captain.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: You don't think sending a message off planet will attract any unwanted attention from outside this place?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Cash: That is a possibility, but it also could attract wanted attention, or warn off unprepared rescue missions.  Do you think it is too much of a risk?
All: All of you can answer that.  I want to make sure no one else falls in this trap but it is a risk.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: I don't know.  I guess this whole operation is risky.  I guess we have to take chances.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  If we don't risk it, more people will be slaughtered here in the name of Entertainment.  We can't have that now can we?  Would you want someone else's son to suffer the same fate as yours?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Any other concerns to think of?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: we need to think a way to make all inmates here to join us.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: You're right, of course but, it isn't easy.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: That type of behavior is contagious.  Hence the term "mob mentality".  I think enough will join.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CIV: We can ask them, most of them are as sane as we are.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  If it was easy, we'd all be home by now.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: They may want to escape to.  Let's encourage that.  The more confusion for them, the better.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Agreed, we will help all we can out of this.  Even if helping others wasn't the Starfleet way, I couldn't leave people to this form of slavery.
All: So is there anything we need to do to prepare?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: If we can't take all the patients in this building, we can sure put an end to this place once we get out of here.  I don't know how, we have no say in what these people do but, we got to do something to shut it down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Nods.::  Price: Agreed fully.
All: So get your screaming, uprising voices ready and prepare for what is about to happen.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::nods::

7th Floor Ring B Announcement says:
All: All patients will report to the Dinning Room for lunch immediately.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: Ok.. let's go for it.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
All: This is it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: See you all on the outside.  We can do this, let's make it happen.

OPS_Nash says:
::she is starting to get nervous but it needs to be done.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Begins telling everyone the plan, recruiting others for the cause::

7th Floor Ring B Announcement says:
All: We repeat.  All patients will report to the Dinning Room immediately.  No exceptions.

OPS_Nash says:
::heads to Dining Room::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Heads to the dining room, ready to go.::
