Ship's Log, Stardate 11803.25, Captain Ayidee recording.  We are making progress in the prison riot, which we hope to turn into a break out.  We are now working to take control of the basement, including the control room for the entire center.

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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::In Basement, moving towards the control center where help was needed.::  All: Anything useable as a weapon we can get will help.  For now we have to make do.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Hears the call and rushes to the Central Control Room::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::in the storage room:: CO: I found a locker, there might be something good in here.

OPS_Nash says:
::praying that someone comes fast to help.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
With OPS in the Central Control Room facing an orderly and six angry Rabidus::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Try and figure it out, heading to the control room.   Follow when you get in it.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: Yes sir. ::works as fast as he can to disable the lock, knowing there isn't much time::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Gets to the control room and sees the orderly.::  All: Well this is a challenge.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
:: having successfully sown the evil seed of riot on the other wing of the complex, he is now making his way back to join the rest of the team::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: I'll go high, try and use its size against it.  Anything you can do might tip the scales...or the orderly.
::Crouches and then leaps at the top of the orderly, trying to use its height as a lever to knock it off balance with a leg whip.::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Automated Orderly>: OPS/OPS Cash: You are in an undesignated area.  Patients Seven two three one six nine and Four six nine three two eight you will receive a demerit.

OPS_Nash says:
Orderly:  Go hover in a waterfall, you tin can.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Self: Three encryption matrices on one lock? Who the hell does that? 

ACTION: The CIV arrives in the Basement with a few crew members from both ships.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the Basement and with an unusual greetings:: All: I'm back, everybody.. the cavalry has arrived. ::raises an eyebrow::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Control Room Employee>: OPS/OPS Cash: How...?  You can't be here.  ::Calls for reinforcements on his computer console::

OPS_Nash says:
Employee:  You caged the wrong people, buddy.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Helps the Captain wrestle the orderly into submission::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CIV: Can you round up the six Rabidus employees?  Find something to tie them up with.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: on the double... ::signal some members of his party to assist him and starts looking for some rugs or ropes to tie the employees::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: Let's get to those computer stations.  I'll try and power down all the orderlies.  Do you want to knock out communications?

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Right!  ::she picks a computer and gets to work.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::opens a locker and find some restraining devices:: All: this would do the trick. :: starts handing them to the rest of the officers::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Self: Almost got it, c'mon...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Trying to find a way to more permanently disable the orderly, but without tools or a lot of numbers doesn't see much else to be done.::

ACTION: Truus gets the locker open.  The CEO finds weapons, most of them are primitive, a few are not.  Weapons from all over the Gamma Quadrant.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Self: Oooh... jackpot. ::stuffs them all in a cart or something and wheels it over to the control room::

ACTION: Three additional orderlies arrive in the Basement.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Not the first time I've said it, but just one Phaser and most of our problems would be over!
::Still trying to subdue the orderly by hand.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::notices the orderlies coming inside the Basement:: All: Quick! Disable them!

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::enters the control room:: CO: No phasers here but I did find a few Jem'Hadar plasma weapons.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Almost shouts.::  CEO: Then turn one on the orderly!!!

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: These guys don't go down easy.  ::Kicking the orderly in the... circuits::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::grabs a weapon and shoots the orderly, then pushes the cart over to CO::

ACTION: The three orderlies arrive in the Central Control Room and four more arrive in the basement.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::one shot doesn't do the job; he keeps firing:: All: I can't take them all out by myself!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Rolls off the orderly and reaches for the cart for anything looking at all like a Type III Phaser, grabbing anything close.::

ACTION: One orderly goes down but, there are seven others in the Basement.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::grabs a chair and throws it to one orderly in order to distract it::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
::Grabs a weapon from the cart and begins firing at orderlies::  All: This is more like it.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Eureka!  Communications are under our control.  None of those tin cans can talk to the staff and no other communiques will be coming in out of this building unless Cash and I allow it.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: I'm having a bit of trouble breaking these encryptions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Panting after the struggle with the orderly, but smiling with a rifle in hand.  Takes aim for the bottom of the orderlies, where the power transfer likely takes place.::

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Substitute the circle sign with the pi sign.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS Great job!  Say, do you think you could lock this building down?  No one gets in or out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Good work, once the facility is secure we need to see if there is a communications network stretching far enough to reach our own and the Alpha Quadrant.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Tries OPS suggestion:: OPS: I think that worked.  Thanks.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Sure.  ::she does what was asked with ease.::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
OPS: Can you switch off the orderlies? They probably have endless waves of these things. ::he says as he picks off another one::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Automated Orderlies>:: Move in to capture patients, declaring their intent to pass out demerits for all::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Already working it.  Should be done any moment. ::pushes one last keystroke::  CEO:  They should be powering down...now.

ACTION: Sirens can be heard coming from outside the building.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CEO: I'm working on it.  I've almost got it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Concentrate fire at their base.  They get their power from the floor panels, if we can damage their power receptacles it should render them inert.

ACTION: More orderlies arrive in the Central Control Room.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Self: Should being the key word...

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
<Automated Orderly>:: Grabs CEO by the arm:: CEO: Patient One, five, eight, six, five, six you will receive one demeeeerrrrr.....

ACTION: The orderlies all go dead simultaneously.  They rest silent on the floor.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::wishes he had a phaser rifle at hand::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Stops firing at the orderlies and turns weapon to the biological staff.:  OPS Nash/ OPS Cash: Nice work on the control systems.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::looks at the now inactive machines all around them:: Self: That was too close..

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Staff: Due to your people's unprovoked attack on Starships of the United Federation of Planets, consider yourselves prisoners of war.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Darn it, I'm having trouble getting a message outside the building.  I'm still going to try though.

ACTION: Out the window you see the building being surrounded by Rabidus military personnel.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
<Rabidus>: CO: You won't get away with this.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nash: Keep trying.
Cash: Any way to see where we are, galactically?  And how far the Cherokee and Earhart are?

ACTION: In all the commotion, Nurse Ratched was able to get away.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::sees the Rabidus surrounding them... checks the weapons to ensure they're still charged::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think we aren't still off the hook... Those look like heavily trained and well equipped soldiers.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: I could try to find star charts, but, I doubt this facility would have the information about our ships.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Cash: The Earhart barely moved after you left her.  The Cherokee was right with her when we were captured.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: Assuming nobody hijacked your ships while you've been gone.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: We need more weapons.  Hopefully we can keep discipline among the rest of the "patients" to hold them off for a while.  Until we can manage a way out, we seem to be surrounded.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Figures!!  Why does that have to be the case?

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: We have to assume they are still there.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
OPS: What's the matter?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO/ Cash: Based on the fact that the Earhart hadn't moved, we can hope that, yet.
OPS: New issue or something else, Commander?

OPS_Nash says:
All: Guys, looks like we have to head to roof of this fine establishment. With communications under lockdown, the best place to go wo even try to get a message out will be on the roof.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Start getting crews to distribute the weapons we've found.  Priortty to Starfleet hands, but if we can find more we will hand them out as we can.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: We'll get to that then as soon as we can collect all that is useable down here.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
OPS/All: So, we gather all our people and head for the roof.  They may not be able to get in now but, I'm sure that won't last.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Give the basement a work over, make sure we have all the weapons we can get our hands on before we make for the roof.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: I think I got everything, but I'll double check..

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
All: We have to rescue my son and the others.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Cash: Agreed, all we can find make it to the roof.  Those who aren't Starfleet can try other routes but we are the Federation.  Sticking together is what makes us who we are.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
OPS: I just had an idea... I wonder if we could reactivate the orderlies,and reprogram them to target the Rabidus.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS Nash/ Cash: What do you think?  Could it be done?

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  We can try.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CO: Do we want to take the time to do that?

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  I'm sure it would be a matter a few keystrokes.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: We can try.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPSs: Do it, meanwhile we'll get to the other rings and gather as many of our people as we can.  Including your son and Counselor Daniels.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPSs: If it is not finished by the time we gather the crews we will desist and make for the roof.

OPS_Nash says:
::she begins doing what the CEO suggested.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I will assist OPS with such task.

OPS_Nash says:
::punches in what she hopes is the final keystroke::  ALL:  There, let's hope that does it.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Begins assisting OPS although she'd rather be looking for her son::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Very well.  We'll find the others and then we get out of here.  ::Turns to head for the elevators.::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: I'll go with you, then. Maybe there are still others from the Altair around here...
