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

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Wailing on the elevator, checking weapon more out of habit than anything during the wait.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::goes with the party, assisting the CTO in securing the advance::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: We've cleared every floor but the sixth floor.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
XO: That must be where my son is.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Makes the decision making easier then.  6th floor it is.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Picks up a piece of metal pipe that just minutes before served as a stairway handrail::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::beside CO:: 

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looking over the pipe:: Self:  This will do.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: trying to smash someone's head with that, Lieutenant?

OPS_Nash says:
::with rest of her team, trying to get out of this nightmare::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: We've got a lot of people with us now, several hundred.  Maybe we should send some of them to the roof now.  I could lead them, if you want, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Price: Good idea.  If we need reinforcements we can call for help.  See if you can make the Rabidus trying to get in "reconsider" their priorities.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Price/CO: That was my idea earlier... ::grumbles but grins playfully::

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  We'll wait until you are finished with the elevator.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: If that is what is required, yes.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: There is no such thing as an "unarmed" Klingon.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::chuckles at CTO::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I agree on your last statement... ::raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  There is a stairwell through this door next to the elevator. Chances are that it is locked.  ::points to the door::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: just be sure that bar doesn't end on the wrong target...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We confiscated enough weapons to give you a proper one, so I'm guessing that pipe becomes option 2.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
OPS: A staircase?  That's just what we need.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::tries the stairwell door.. just in case::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: Of course I'd feel much more comfortable with my betlh'eth, or DaQtaH, but... what's that Earth saying about lemons and lemonade?  ::Holds up his former handrail::

OPS_Nash says:
CEO:  Well, was I correct in my assumption?

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CO: I'll lead the non-Starfleet patients to the roof using the stairs.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Locked is a relative term.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Longer reach ::grins:

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I agree with the CO.. .however if it makes you more confident... just be sure to keep you anger under acceptable levels.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
CEO: You can join us if you want, as it was your idea.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::if it is indeed locked, he begins to work on picking said lock.. whether electronic or old-fashioned.. he knows both pretty well::

ACTION: CEO unlocks the door to the stairwell.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Don't worry too much about leaving the lock intact.  Feel free to disintegrate it if you feel the urge.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CIV: I cannot guarantee any "level" of anger, but be assured I know where to direct it.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Price: I'll go wherever I'm needed.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: Will you come with me to the sixth floor.  I could use the support.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Are you sure?

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
All: Door's open.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Remember sometimes to much aggressiveness tends to cloud your thinking. Just take it as a good advice for your career from an old Vulcan.

Earhart_XO_Price says:
ALL: Okay, listen up.  If you aren't Starfleet, come with me.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: Yes, please.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  All right.

ACTION: XO enters stairwell, followed by a lot of aliens.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Are we taking the elevator to the sixth floor, Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Yes we are.  :::Hits the button.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS:  Can you feel it?

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Uses a key to summon elevator.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Feel what?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: The tingle in the air!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: The excitement!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: All's I feel is the tingle in my stomach.  Your tingle must be a Klingon thing, like getting excited by the fight ahead or something.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CTO: Today's not a good day to die. Let's get out of this alive.

ACTION: The left elevator arrives and the door opens.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
All: I hope we can have the necessary time to contact the Cherokee..

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Exactly! The approaching battle!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Q'ten Smash.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::readies weapon as he enters the elevator::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Steps in the elevator.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Enter elevator.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Next stop, sixth floor.   Men’s ware, furniture and a lot of unknown.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Enters elevator:: OPS: He just has to be there.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Q'ten will smash, maul, maim, mutilate, and destroy any of these Rabidus hairballs that get in our way.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  I'm sure he is.  ::enters the elevator::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: As long as we don't end in a Rabidus trap I wouldn’t mind getting some souvenirs on amenities department

ACTION: The elevator door closes and moves up, reaching the sixth floor.  The doors open.  There are patients running around, chasing Pleasant View employees.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS:  I’ll smash my way into their pantheon.  "Q'ten the Destroyer". Rabidus mothers will tell their children about me to scare them to sleep!

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Patients: The cavalry is here!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: So far they haven't laid much of a trap since we got here.  Interesting, seeing how they got us here.  ::Steps out, weapon at the ready.::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: yes, that's my point, sir... Too easy...

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Exits elevator and looks around::  CTO: Let's throw all the Rabidus in the sixth floor common rooms.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Sees the mayhem before him and sticks his handrail out to trip a fleeing staff member::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: You don't want them in the cells?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Patients: The end of the Rabidus domination is here.  We're going to do all we can to get you out.  ::Starts stunning the Rabidus he has clean shots on.::

INFO: You discover that there are only patients from Rings A & B.  Ring C has a giant metal wall in the way, with a door in it.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Cells are good too.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::upon seeing the giant wall:: Self: What the...?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Pounds away at the door in the metal wall::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Nearest patient: Any idea what's on the other side of that door?

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::joins the shooting fest and fires upon some Rabidus as well::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Clear this floor, then we will go through there.  No sense jumping in too deep without need.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: I bet my so is on the other side of that door.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Turns to seek out new Rabidus targets::

OPS_Nash says:
Cash: Quite possibly.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CEO: Can you get it opened?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts swinging his handrail, dropping Rabidus left and right.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: Give it a shot, just be careful if you need to blast through it.  Might be friendlies on other side.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Starts sending patients into the stairwell:: Patients: Go into the light.  ::Smile::  Patients: Seriously, start heading up.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Handrail is spinning, swaying, stabbing, and swinging in a blur of motion as Rabidus are flung down to the floor::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Trying to shoot Rabidus and speed up the clean up.::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::goes to the door and begins to disable the lock, keeping in mind what he learned from the locker earlier::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::looks at the CTO and smiles thinking that he used to be call a trigger happy::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts to slow down as he realizes the Rabidus crowd is starting to thin out:: Rabidus: Oh come now, you can't be tired already. I'm just starting to enjoy myself!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, look! ::points towards the cells:: There are some patients inside their on that area, the Rings A and B.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Then let's get them out.  ::Walks towards the nearest cell.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::On Ring A.  He looks out a window in one of the cells::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::goes along with the Captain::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Hey, come here.  Look at this.  ::He points out the window towards the ground below::

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
Patient: Come on ! Get out of the cell, you are free now!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Looks out the window to see what Wally is pointing at::

ACTION: The CTO and CNS see military Rabidus entering the building through the front doors.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Yells out:: CO: Captain we're out of time! We get to the roof now or we'll miss our shot!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Opens the next cell.::  Patient: You are free to go.  We are going to take the roof and try to find a ride out.  Come with us and we can get you out.
All: Then open the way past that metal wall, clear the room and move on up.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::the door opens:: CO: Let's go then!

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::tries to grab one of the patient out of his cell::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
CEO: You got it!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Perhaps a few of us should go down there and slow them down?

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: Come on.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Move, time is a lot less plentiful than we thought it was.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CNS: That would be suicide.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash: Right behind you.  ::goes with OPS Cash::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: We'll cover the stairwells and elevators.

ACTION: The door to Ring C is opened.  No one seems to be there but, then OPS/OPS Cash/CEO: Can hear voices coming from around the bend in the hall.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Self: What are those soldiers going to do to the patients...?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Their numbers won't count for much at those choke points.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::looks around the corner::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CEO: Not as much as they think if we can hold them back!

ACTION: The voices are coming from the Common Room.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
OPS/Cash: There are voices coming from over here! ::leads them toward the common room::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Let's go.  Where are we going? the Lobby?

OPS_Nash says:
::follows Cash and CEO::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Follows CEO to the Common Room where Rabidus are confining the patients.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CIV: Get this floor clear and to the roof.  I'm going to go back up our junior officers and make sure they know when to fall back.  ::Turns and goes after CTO and CNS.::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: If that's where the bulk of the troops are going to come through

INFO: A few dozen children, from all over the Gamma Quadrant, are found in the Common Room; including Richie Cash and Liam Nash.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS: Hold up, two isn't enough to do what you want.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I'll follow you and you just tell me what to do.  This is my first prison riot.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Aye sir!

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Oh my God, they got my children too!  ::runs to Liam::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: It's what we have sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Well now you have 3.  And this isn't a suicide mission, so I'm here to ensure you know when to fall back.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
OPS/Cash: Glad you found them. I'm going on ahead, but don't be far behind. We don't have time for a heartwarming reunion right now.

OPS_Nash says:
::wraps her arms around Liam::  Liam: Are Kiandra and Ryleigh here too?  Your father?

ACTION: The Pleasant View staff with the children in the Common Room, see Starfleet arrive with guns and give no opposition.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: We fall back when we run out of Rabidus to shoot.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::runs toward where CO is::

OPS_Nash says:
<Liam>  OPS:  No, Mom, just me. Are we getting out of here?

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Sees her son and rushes to him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/CNS: We hold the stairwell, it is confined and will limit their numbers.  Those upstairs will know soon what is coming and will be able to do the same.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Runs over to one of the stairwell doors and slides his handrail into the handles::

OPS_Nash says:
Liam:  Yes, Help keep the other children calm and together. We have got to go NOW.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO  That won't stop them but it should slow them down.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS: Then we fall back once floor 6 is clear.

OPS_Nash says:
<Liam>  OPS:  Right.  ::he immediately goes to help with the other children.::

ACTION: XO Price and followers reach the top of the stairs.  They are met with one more set of upward stairs with a door at the top.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: Too bad we don't have any grenades.  That could stop them dead in their tracks...literally.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::starts a sweeping coverage of the floor looking for hidden Rabidus or traps::

INFO: Rabidus military personnel flood the lobby.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Unless we want a gun lost to overload, we're a bit limited.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Starts firing as rapidly as possible::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
CO: That's a good idea actually... 

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: We're all here, maybe we can disable the elevators.  Then they'd have to take the stairs.  That will slow them down some.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Anything handy to cut an elevator cable?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: That would be worth the loss of a weapon.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Phaser fire?

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS:  Well help me get these doors open before they get here.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
::Can't stop hugging her son::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CEO: We'll hold them back while they sabotage the elevator. ::Keeps firing at the incoming Rabidus.::

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
<Richie Cash>: OPS Cash: Aww, Mom, cut it out.  I'm all right.

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::nods as he fires along with CO::

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Time for hugs later, time to GO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ CNS: Open the door, set a weapon to overload, toss it in and send it down the shaft.  Should do plenty to "slow them down."

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Goes to the elevator door trying to get a grip and pry the door open.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
<Nurse Ratched>:: Comes from around the corner::  CO: Take this, it's yours.  Take it and go.  I want you and your people gone.  You've caused nothing but trouble here.  I want things back to normal.  ::Hands CO his COM badge::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
Ratched: And the rest of our badges? Do you have those too?

ACTION: The elevator door is pried open.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Takes the Comm badge.::  Ratched: Working on it.  Hoping to never see you or your type again but...

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Ratched:  Phasers would come in handy also!!!

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: You have your weapon ready?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Nurse Ratched>: CEO: We only had the one.  Some how it didn't get left behind when the Captain was taken from his ship.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: I do.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Taps Comm badge.::  *Any*: If anyone can hear me, this is Captain Ayidee of the USS Cherokee requesting extraction ASAP.  Please respond if you hear this.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::joins the effort to halt the Rabidus troops::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
<Nurse Ratched>: All: That's all I have for you.  Now, go.  ::Disappears down the hall to Ring C::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CNS: Well set it and let it go!

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::shoots Ratched:: All: Oops. My hand slipped.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sets weapon to over-load and sends it down the elevator shaft::  CTO: Bombs away!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Hears the "no connection" blip.::  All: Nothing yet, let's see what we can do about controlled retreat to the roof.

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
::Let's the elevator door close and pulls Wally away from it::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
CO: We should only have the stairs to cover now

ACTION: There is an explosion at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Controlled retreat back up the stairs then, bounding overwatch.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
SELF: Ka-boooom!!!

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CTO: Let's get out of here.

CIV_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the explosion::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Grabs a nearby chair and tears the framing apart on it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Chief Q'ten and Counselor Daniels are team one, they fall up a floor while Truss and I cover, then we fall back while they cover and move up in steps.

Earhart_OPS_Cash says:
OPS: Let's lead our boys and these other children to the stair and take them up.

OPS_Nash says:
Cash:  Already gave my son the message. He knows what to do.

ACTION: All Rabidus on the sixth floor is secured.  Starfleet personnel have found means to tie them up.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Follows CTO::

CEO_LtJG_Truus says:
::goes with CO and awaits his orders::

CTO_LTJG_Q`ten says:
Heads up the stairs to the seventh floor closing the stairwell doors behind him and twisting the metal chair frame around the handles to seal them shut::
