Ship's Log, Stardate 11803.04, Captain Ayidee recording.  We have been called to lunch, a meal at which we hope to end our time in the "Pleasant View".  One way or another, our time here is about to change.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walking to meal room, looking about for any items that might help be a bigger distraction.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: getting ready to jump into action when the chaos starts::

OPS_Nash says:
::waiting for the chaos to begin::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Enters the Dining Room::  All: The bright side is we won't have to eat what they call lunch.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: That is indeed a plus.  One way or another, this will be our last meal here for a while.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Enters the Dinning Room with OPS::  OPS: I'm a bit nervous about this... or maybe it is fear.

OPS_Nash says:
OPS Cash:  It's both for me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Those of us on distraction detail, I was thinking the opening "shot" is a bowl of that gruel thrown at the nearest orderlies sensors.  Assuming they are where the Rabidus eyes are.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: Okay, that will be the signal to begin.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Acknowledged.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Observes the two nurses and two orderlies in the room::  All: We need everyone in this room.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Gets in line, looking for a clean shot at an orderly.::  All: Once we are all...fed.  Not sure if that stuff will help or not.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Well, it tastes as bad as it can taste...so it must be good for you...

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched>: All: Let's keep this line moving.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Has the consistency of paste so hopefully...
Ratched: Yes ma'am.  Is today the strawberry shortcake flavored version?

OPS_Nash says:
::follows suit as she takes her place in the food line::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched> CO: Listen, you furry faced demon, no one around here appreciates your sense of humor.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Gets in line and grabs a tray, a bowl and a spoon:: All: Here we go.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ratched: I was just wondering.  I look forward to the meal rotation.  ::Slumps, takes a bowl and moves to the table.::

ACTION: As you pass through the line your bowl is filled with gray gruel.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears a nasty sounds when the gooey stuff is poured in his bowl::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Aw, Snozberry again.

OPS_Nash says:
::when it's her turn to get the food, she takes the bowl and sits down at the closest table to the door.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched>: All: Remember, you must eat everything in your bowl.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the bowl to the table, waits for the others to get in place.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Sits with OPS::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Sits with his tray at the table with CO::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>::Floats around the room, checking on everyone::

OPS_Nash says:
::she just stirs the grey substance in the bowl::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Once all are seated, including other patients.::  All: I don't think this meal system is fair!  Let's show them how unfair it is!  ::Flings bowl at nearest orderly.::  
Orderly: I think I got yours anyway!

ACTION: The bowl of gruel hits the metal body of the orderly.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::stands up and kicks back his seat::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Jumps up on table.::  All: We've taken their stuff for far too long!  We are sentient beings, not some sort of robots!

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Throws his bowl at an orderly and then, flips over a table::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched>: All: Sit back down.  You stop this behavior right now!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::throws his bowl at another orderly, then grabs the chair and throws it at the first orderly::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:.then moves closely to the nurse, getting ready to get her access card::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ratched: If you insist.  ::Reaches down, grabs another patient's bowl and flings it at Ratched.::

ACTION: An alarm is sounded as other patients join in in the riot.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched>: CO: How dare you?  You'll receive double demerits for your actions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Tables, block the entrances with them until we secure these few!  ::Leaps down and pushes a table for the opening.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves closer to the surprised nurse and stares at her right pocket, trying to choose the best moment to pick the card::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ratched: Bring it, see how your system holds up to ours.  ::For the first time since coming here bares claws.::

ACTION: Other nurses and orderlies arrive in the dinning room::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::thinks:: It's now or never...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Rushes the first new nurse to enter, screaming and slashing.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Hops over the food line counter and enters the small kitchen where they make the gray gruel.  He uses some old rags and the electric stove to start a fire in the kitchen::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Automated Orderlies>::Trying to chase and restrain patients who are running around throwing chairs::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Good move.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::extends his fingers and swiftly gets the card::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Grab chairs, break the legs and see if you can light them as torches!

ACTION: The CIV successfully obtains a plastic key from the distracted nurse.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::signals the XO and OPS that he got the card::

OPS_Nash says:
::nods to the CIV::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: I guess we're on.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  I guess so.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::moves to the OPS, dodging a flying chair, and hands her the card::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Once the nurse backs off, grabs a chair and runs full speed at an orderly, sliding and driving the chair at the Orderlies base to try and knock it down.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::now joins the riot effort::

OPS_Nash says:
::takes the key::

ACTION: Several patients begin to throw trays, bowls and spoons at the staff and orderlies.

ACTION: Some of the nurses are trying to put out the fire but, having little luck.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ratched: How are those demerits going?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Nurse Ratched>:: Hiding under a table in the corner:: CO: You'll pay for this, Starfleet.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Whispers as she looks to see the door clear:: OPS: It's time to make our exit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ratched: At least you called me something appropriate.  Put it on my tab.  Along with this gruel.  ::Moves to one of the gruel pots, grabs it and throws it at the base of another orderly.  Still trying to figure out a weakness of them in case it is needed later.::

OPS_Nash says:
::whispers:: Cash: After you

ACTION: Gruel gets underneath the hovering orderly the CO attacked and staggers a bit, as his connection to the floor is compromised.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Smiles and starts spreading more the gruel about the floor.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Quietly and stealthily exits the Dinning Room::

OPS_Nash says:
::before leaving the Dining room, she throws her bowl on the floor.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Heads down the circular corridor.  Heading for a door on the right, she's seen the nurses enter that's always locked::  OPS: I've studied Rabidus writing.  I swear it says KEEP OUT on the door.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: grabs a bowl and throws it on the air, over the heads, making it to land on a orderly::

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Well, here is a good place to test this key.  ::holds up the key::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Patients: Secure the staff, keep them here and they can be used as leverage.  ::Doesn't add it will also keep them from figuring out what is going on.::

OPS_Nash says:
::runs the key through the keypad on the door::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Finds large sacks of dry instant gruel and begins throwing the sacks on to the floor, where the sacks burst open, spreading all over the floor::  CO: I don't think the orderlies like gruel any more than we do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Can't like it less I'd guess.

ACTION: The door unlocks.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Jackpot.  ::smiles and she carefully opens the door::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Are there any on room arrest?

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Enter the little room::

OPS_Nash says:
::looks around as they enter the room:::

ACTION: In the room are supplies but, also, three computer terminals.

OPS_Nash says:
::spots the computer terminals::  Cash:  The odds are ever in our favor now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Starts working to gather up the nurses.:: Nurses: First one to tell us how to get out of here gets to live.  The rest?  Can't promise anything.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: It'll take us a few minutes to learn their computer systems and which button does what.  It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Between the two of us, we are going to get it done.

ACTION: In the Dining Room, Q'ten charges an orderly heading for the exit.  The orderly is smashed against the wall and has suffered some damages.

OPS_Nash says:
::she starts the task of learning this cultures computer language.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Once this room is secure we have to barricade the doors to this wing, prevent reinforcements from coming until we've found a way out.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Studies the control panel of one of the computer terminals::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Sees a nurse with a communication devise and moves in to take it from her::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: I don't know if she got a message out or not.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye, sir!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Then we have to barricade the doors fast.  Give this time to play out.
