Host SMDrew says:
Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 17 - 11110.11
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  Several of the away team groups have made brief contact with the rebels, not to mention an insight into what the rebels face.
Host SMDrew says:
*************************** Resume Mission *************************
OPS_Abil says:
@::laying on the ground, finally catching his breath after his struggles with the steam::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Still sitting on the ground behind the rock, waiting::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::Finishes running the tricorder over the FCO one last time, then sits back satisfied::  FCO:  I'm no medic and even less of an expert on Romulans, but according to the tricorder, your Romulan self is gonna live.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  ::Looks at the new arrivals.::   Outloud:  Get these men up on their feet.  If they need anything try to supply it, but we are moving out in twenty minutes.
FCO_Cicero says:
::eyes closed, starts to cough a bit...::
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie> ::Reaches down and offers a hand to Selan.::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::Looks down sharply at the FCO::  FCO:  Knock it off.  The tricorder says you're fine.  Be fine.
FCO_Cicero says:
:: opens his multi-layered eyelids and sees the cabin lights of the Jarrow come into focus...::
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::coughs, sort of, and rolls to one side while on the ground::
FCO_Cicero says:
::with a scratchy whisper:: SO:  Was starting to wonder if I'd ever see that ugly face again.  :: smiles as Hawk – I mean Senn comes into focus::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Looks up at the hand offered from the man and hesitates for a moment and then reaches out and takes the hand::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::Outraged::  FCO:  Ugly!?!   This from the guy with pointy ears and eyebrows that point the wrong way!?!
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  ::Gets Selan to her feet.::  Outloud:  Welcome, my name is Zonie.  I'm team leader of this group.
FCO_Cicero says:
SO: We can't all have my good looks :: starts to caught again, his throat hurting.  Sits up and looks around ::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna> All:  Welcome, guests.  You’re in safe hands.  We will be leaving shortly to meet up with the rest of the scouting teams.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO/FCO:  Gentlemen...please.  ::Runs his hands over the tactical console, still on the lookout for any planetside traffic::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::grins:: FCO:  I suppose not.  How you feeling?
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Stands and bows her head to Zonie::  Zonie: Thank you. I am Selan.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::only offers a very faint smirk, but says nothing just yet... just observes, almost casually::
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::coughs again, not sure why he's having trouble breathing as he normally would; he looks around for a moment::
OPS_Abil says:
::looks at Anna then rubs his eyes and sighs, sitting up and looking at the sandals:: Anna: I suppose decent footwear would be out of the question?
FCO_Cicero says:
::in a low whisper::  SO:  Aside from a case of laryngitis :: low cough chuckle:: SO/CTO:  Fine, thanks to you two.  Thanks for yanking me out... they had a different idea of a good time and it didn't include a safe word.  What's our status?
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Glances up from the ministration of the feet of the young woman she fell down the bank with, listening cautiously to Zonie as she reaches to tear a bit of fabric from her robe with which to wrap the woman's feet::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  Outloud: If you have any weapons training, please see me for a side arm.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna> ::Looks down at the Ferengi's feet.::   Sam: Get these people some sandals.  Anything to protect their feet on the way down.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::Looks to the CTO to answer the status question, as Hawk had been distracted with the FCO::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Sam> ::Nods.::   Anna:  I'll see what we have.   ::Moves to one of two storage boxes and begins to rummage through it.::
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::sits up finally, listening in on the conversations while he reorients himself::
Host CO_Selan says:
#Zonie: Thank you for rescuing us.  ::Looks down at Sera::  If I may ask, where are we?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Sam> ::Motions to the Ferengi and places some well worn boots on the rocks next to the container.::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Letting go of his hand, she stands on her own her ankle sore but she blocks out the pain.::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO:  We're holding position a short distance from the main compound, monitoring unusual electromagnetic readings.  Additionally, some of the crew are out of sensor contact at the moment, and we're trying to locate them again.  If they're fortunate, they managed to get underground with the resistance.  If not....
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
::Just lets it go at that and continues watching the sensors::
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::taking note of their surroundings, potential exits—or, perhaps, alternate points of forced entry, and mostly paying attention to the conversation... he moves with a shrug to approach the woman, looking almost close to cautious:: Anna: You... might call me trained. I've survived, anyway.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Tears another long, wide-ish strip of fabric from her robe, wrapping the woman's other foot. Although not great, it should at least make further travel possible::
OPS_Abil says:
@::looks at the boots and smiles a bit trying them on:: Anna/Sam: My name is Abil, who are you
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::While the CTO explains the situation, moves over to the science console to try and make sense of the readings they were seeing::
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  Selan: Of course.  You are about 200 meters below the main square.   These caverns are mostly natural and used to carry power to the facility.   We use them to hide and move while we try to find a way out of this hell.
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::moves to his feet slowly, pain stinging at the front and sides of his knees as he does; he moves forward towards Anna as well, though he stays behind Abil and Rond for the time being::
FCO_Cicero says:
:: purses his lips together, thinking... :: CTO/SO:  I'll maintain a healthy set of optimism.  Permission to take my post, Sir.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna> Abil: I'm team leader Anna and this is my first officer, Sam.   We are one of six rebel teams trapped down here.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Pats the young woman on the arm reassuringly, then climbs to her feet, her expression steeled and softened by a detail noticed a moment ago::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
::Looks up from the console for the first time while speaking::  FCO:  Are you sure?  You had quite a few injuries.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  So...  according to sensors, we have an incredibly high level of electromagnetic energy, that is "sucking in" all forms of energy from light years around....  radio waves, sensor beams, subspace signals....   it's almost black hole-like, centered over this main compound.
OPS_Abil says:
@::nods:: Anna: I take it you are rebelling against the monks? What are your reasons?
Host CO_Selan says:
#Zonie: How do you survive down here?  Especially with whatever that creature was that was after us.
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  Outloud:  Okay, we need to move.  We don't have much time here.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO:  And if I don't do my best others might not, I will survive according to our esteemed colleague here, since he took care of my "extra friends".  No hologram can fly better than me.
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  Selan:  No time.  We need to get out of here to a safe location.  ::Grabs his weapon and slings it over his shoulder.::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Nears Zonie and Selan, but remains somewhat distant of the former:: CO: ...Selan?  Your ankle...  ::Gestures::
OPS_Abil says:
::settles his feet into the slightly large boots and tears two more lengths of cloth from the robes wrapping them tight around the ankles and sides of the boots to make them stay on more firmly::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna> Abil:  We are.   They are not monks.  They are only here for the technology.  The use the monks as a front to lure people here to work as slave labor.
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::studies her expression as she provides her answer in a direct manner, which is at least a little refreshing given the ambiguous nature of basically everything they are involved in::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Nods and turns to Sera and then looks down at her ankle briefly::  CMO: Aye, I twisted it when we landed over the rock.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO:  Very well.  Shut down the holographic helmsman and take your position.
FCO_Cicero says:
:: Hears the SO's statement and ponders the implications::
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::listens to the exchange between their apparent rescuer and the Ferengi, but says nothing else as yet::
Host SMDrew says:
<Holo_FCO>  ::Looks back at Cicero and raises an eyebrow.::  Outloud:  I am programmed with every known strategic flight program.  I would not judge without the facts.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
::Looks to Hawk::  SO:  I'm forced to assume that the ancient technology that apparently exists on this planet is responsible for that phenomenon.
FCO_Cicero says:
:: Laughs:: Computer:  Deactivate EFCO.  :: Moves to take the helm ::
Host SMDrew says:
<Holo_FCO>  ::Begins to argue then shuts down.::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Nods, slipping her hands into her pocket:: CO: Thirteen seconds, and I can at least help prevent further damage.  ::Removing her hands from her pocket to reveal additional strips of robe::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  I would assume so.  You know...  some of the signals I've seen go by are actually Federation and Starfleet subspace signals...  could this be some kind of information gathering device being used by these...  monks?
OPS_Abil says:
@::frowns and pulls the bands tight around his boots:: Anna: I'm sure that you have some proof of this. All I saw was the inside of a boring bunk room.
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  ::Looks at Selan's ankle.::  Selan:  Can you continue?
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Nods:: CMO: Thank you Sera.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  That was my guess.  They could be using it to facilitate their studies...if in fact they're studying anything at all, and not simply gathering intelligence.
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  ::Nods.::  Sera:  I can give you that long, but not any more.
FCO_Cicero says:
ALL: Maintaining position :: checking to see what navigational aid interference this EM phenomena may be causing ::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Nods to Zonie::  Zonie: I can.  How far is it?
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Nods to both Zonie and Selan as she immediately kneels at the Vulcan's feet, her fingers weaving the fabric about her ankle in time tot he silent count of thirteen-quarter-beats::
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  Selan:  It depends on what’s overrun.   Could be a half a mile or could be five miles.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  The EM energy level's fluctuate occasionally, but seem constant overall.   ::hesitates a moment::  We could beam back into the compound and try to figure out what's going on....
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  ::Turns her attention to one areas near the back of the cave.::   Outloud:  Time to go!
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Screams echo in from down the cavern.
Host CO_Selan says:
#Zonie: I understand.  ::Looks down at Sera and places a hand on her shoulder::  CMO: Thank you Sera
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  I've been considering the possibility.  FCO:  Cicero, did you see or hear anything that you think might be useful if we decide to go back down?
OPS_Abil says:
@::rises to his feet supposing that she doesn’t care to answer his question.  He glances about for the source of the screams::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Just before the full thirteen seconds, she pats the side of the CO's ankle, as she begins to climb to her feet:: CO: ...No problem, Selan.  ::Offers a flicker of a smile before turning her attention to Zonie for his next move::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Sam>  ::Hands LeNar a hand phaser.::   LeNar:  It’s only got a few shots, so do not waste them.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO: I was taken to a room, blindfolded, stripped, and given a good time.  Aside from that room, and the two characters I interacted with, I didn't get much.  I know that the guy that seemed to be in charge was Romulan, and he was worried I was from our home world sent to investigate him for whatever he was doing here, what that was, or anything else I couldn't get out of him, as he didn't show up for his next appointment.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::inwardly braces at the suggestion they move on, which only helps him into a defensive posture at the sound of the screams, but still he simply draws a nod:: Sam: Business as usual then. ::tucks it away, just for now:: Noted.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO: Fortunately, you got me out in time...as I don't think I would have survived the encounter the way things were gong.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::listens to the FCO with interest::  CTO:  That would make sense if this really is some kind of listening post/intelligence gathering operation.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  Abil:  Proof will be supplied once we are out of danger.   ::Points to a dark tunnel to the south.::   Outloud:  Everyone out that way.
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Bows her head to Sera as she rises, with a quiet voice::  CMO: Are you okay?
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::moves without delay, figuring a fighting chance is better than none at all::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  It would, and if the Romulan government or the Tal Shiar themselves are involved, then that raises the stakes.  We can't allow.... ::Looks to Cicero a moment, then falls quiet::
FCO_Cicero says:
:: thinks with EM blocks the prospect of beaming doesn't sound fun ::  SO:  Would the EM interference cause pattern constitution problems for us?
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION:  Rocks begin to fall from the passage.   Scraping and clawing begin to echo down the corridor from the stream.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO: It seemed he was more worried I was Tal Shiar then them being involved.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::being the only one of their group, at least, with a weapon, Rond moves to keep himself just a bit ahead of the group, visually scanning the area as they move::
OPS_Abil says:
@::starts after Stinson, then winces as pain shoots up his leg, maybe the fall was more then he thought, he rubbed his leg then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth moving as quickly as his leg would allow.::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
FCO:  We'd either have to move closer or beam in away from the source a bit, but it should be doable.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO:  That may work to our favor.  ::Glad to have dodged any particularly touchy subjects, given present company::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#CO: I'll certainly be better once we're---  ::Breaks off at the sounds from behind them...and gives the CO a small shove away from the noise::
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::looks down and around, searching for anything that could be used as a weapon, particularly a surprising kind of weapon::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  ::Begins to run down the cavern.  She drops small flares to help light the way.::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  Should you decide we need to investigate, I can't recommend the FCO accompany us.  While he has recovered somewhat, he's still weak and needs to rest and recover.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Sam>  ::Fires a few shots then as the last person enters the cavern he follows.::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Before she can move she feels a slight shove away from the noise behind them.::  Zonie: It sounds like we better go now...
OPS_Abil says:
@::Makes a note that he is the last of their crew into the passage, and quickens his pace his face tightening with each footfall.::
Host SMDrew says:
#<Zonie>  Outloud:  Time to go.  ::Points down the corridor.::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Steps back just enough to link her arm through that of the young woman she'd been traveling with before, and begins to propel them down the corridor in the direction Zonie indicated::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  I agree.  I'd rather someone stayed on the Jarrow as it is, in case we need another emergency beamout.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO:  Also, it doesn't seem like their M.O. to have mixed races... they wouldn't hesitate to use a client race or another race to do their bidding but not at same level of the operations.  Tal Shiar are very xenophobic... even within the Star Empire.  SO:  I can handle myself if necessary.  If I do encounter this person... I could play the agent angle.  But I also could be of use as eyes in the sky.  CTO:  Up to you, Sir.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::Trusting Anna has a weapon of her own, Rond keeps to the right, letting her take point and noting Sam has their back... not the world's greatest defensive position, but, one does what one must when one's defenseless on unfamiliar ground and trying to avoid an ass kicking::
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Doesn't hesitate to test the ankle as she begins to run down the corridor that Zonie indicated.::
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION:  Bloodcurdling screams echo through the cavern as the creatures break through the rocks.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::grins tightly::  CTO:  That does seem a likely outcome.
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO: Understood.  
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  Have you been able to map any of the underground passageways?
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Her pace increases as she hears the screams behind them, she follows the others::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Pulls the woman beside her to the front, giving her a gentle push ahead with the others, as she pauses just long enough to make sure they haven't left anyone behind. Quickly pursues the group, the screams reverberating in her ears::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  Very little...  it seems a mix of natural tunnels and man-made tunnels.  But the closer we get to the EM source, the more frazzled the sensor readings get.
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION:  Several creatures swoop down and grab one of the women just rescued.   They tear her apart almost instantly feeding on her.
Host CO_Selan says:
#::pauses for a moment to look for Sera, seeing her coming up behind::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CTO:  So...  are we going in as harmless, robe-wearing girly boys or heavily armed, robe-wearing girly boys?
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The creatures fill the room quickly, then begin to follow Anna's team down the corridor.  Their screams grow louder.
Host CO_Selan says:
#::Hears the screams from the woman and with no time to help she begins running again hoping that it isn't much further.::
OPS_Abil says:
@::glances behind at the approaching screams:: Self: That’s not...a good...sound ::he continues running to try and keep up with the team::
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO/SO:  Our cover didn't amount to much.  So I would suggest armed.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
FCO:  I like the way you think...  ::looks over to the CTO::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
#::Freezes a fraction of a second, having someone basically snatched from barely beside her stunning her deeply, but her momentum continues to pull her forward over her paralyzed feet, as she trips along after the group, the screams right.....there...::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO:  I concur.  We should go in armed.  SO:  Find us a good place to beam in, if you can.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::nods and turns to the sensors::
Host SMDrew says:
@#ACTION:  Each of the teams turn down a new passage way.  The cavern opens up to a massive area.  The ceiling mst be at least 200 meters above.  Wires and equipment can be seen hanging.  The teams get their first glance at each other.  They form up and continue moving through the area.
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::continues moving forward::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Having mostly regained her step, she quickens, continuing to push anyone ahead of her that she can, forcing even the tired and beaten to keep moving. The alternative is...---unthinkable::
Host CO_Selan says:
@::Runs down a new passage way as the room opens up she quickly sees another team, noticing Davis and the others.  But says nothing::
OPS_Abil says:
@::stumbles as he sees the other group similarly attired... a flash of blonde hair catches his eye near the back, and he glances forward spotting other familiar faces in the other running group:: Self: This day just keeps getting better and better.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::if he recognizes anyone in the team with which they've apparently caught up, he gives no indication... in fact, he only looks around to attempt picking out those in the group who may likewise be armed::
Host CO_Selan says:
@Self: At least we are back together, for now.  ::Continues pushing on, not stopping, knowing what will happen if she does.  She helps one of the women the best she can, her ankle getting slightly more sore with every step::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  ::Nods to Zonie.::   Outloud:  All we need is to make it to the end of this cavern.  There are large doors we can seal for a short time.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
::Walks to the weapons locker and takes out four hand phasers, checking the settings on each::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  Hmmm...  it's pretty hard to get any kind of stable readings on the tunnels.  I'd say those are out for beam in points.  We should be able to beam down on the surface, but there is a chance the beam-in would be detected.
Host CO_Selan says:
@::hears the woman's comment to Zonie and not sure that she likes the "short time" comment.::  Self: But, what was their choice.
OPS_Abil says:
@::staggers again and catches himself with a hand on the ground running in the rear of their group.::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Several of the team members stop and take positions behind rock formations.  They pull out heavy weapons stashed for this escape.    The sounds of automatic weapons fill the cavern.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::As her foot hits a more slick bit of rock, she slips, her feet flying out in front of her a moment, weapons fire blistering overhead::
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO/SO:  We are cloaked... I could put her down where you want and drop you off...
SO_Jason_Senn says:
FCO:  True that.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Creatures see a weak target and start to swoop down on Sera.  Weapons tear two apart but more make it through.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Quickly scrambles to her feet and throws herself against an outcropping of rock, providing temporary shelter as she regains her bearings::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  Might be the safer bet.  Set down someplace out of sight and disembark.
Host CO_Selan says:
@::Turns to see Sera slip, and tries to make her way over to her to help her up, seeing the creatures overhead::
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::is, admittedly, far more used to being on the *other* side of one of those weapons, but, as expected, he simply picks up his pace, trying on the part of the very much unsure::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO/SO:  A good plan.  If we can't beam underground, there's no sense beaming down at all — we'll set down and make our way on foot.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Pushes herself forward along the rock, toward the weapons fire, the only orienting-factor in the chaotic room.... If someone ahead of her is firing, then the creatures are behind her::
Host XO_Stinson says:
@::moves towards the wall and hesitates for a moment at the initial sound of fire, then begins moving towards it faster::
OPS_Abil says:
@::spots someone ahead of him falling but loses track of them as his vision fades around the edges.  Overlarge boots slap the stone floor as he keeps pressing forward, feeling like he has two stones at the end of his feet::
FCO_Cicero says:
CTO/SO:  I also suggest taking the fabricated communicators as they're non-federation origin 
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@CO: C---Selan!  ::Scrambles along the rock face toward "their people," staying close to the as they skirt the creatures and weapons fire::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Creatures explode above Sera covering her in goo.
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  Sir!  Sensors are picking up a very odd kind of weapons fire....   300 meters below and 200 meters from the compound.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@CO: You sh--- ::Covered in creature goo, mid-word, momentarily blinding her.  Wildly reaches out her arm for the CO, looking for some guide still to where to go::
FCO_Cicero says:
SO:  Give me the closest surface opening.  I'll drop you guys off there.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
FCO:  I stashed a couple of generic communications devices among the gear here.  ::Kneels and opens a locker below the weapons::
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::without a thought as he sees someone in direct line of creature assault, Rond pulls his phaser and, taking a minute or two to line his shot, squeezes off two at their company::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The teams begin to pass through the metal security doors.  They take aim and start providing cover fire.
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Keeps one hand out for the CO, and the other foraging against the wall, she presses forward, away from the creatures and toward the "security" of the other cavern::
OPS_Abil says:
::ducks through the security doors and glances around for the door controls as he gasps for air.::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO/FCO:  The weapons fire is coming from 200 meters north of the compound and 300 meters down.  I'm not seeing any obvious openings there, but clearly the tunnel network goes there.
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::slows just slightly as the other team draws nearer, then squeezes off one more shot at their attackers before moving through the doors himself::
Host CO_Selan says:
@::Reaches out for Sera grabbing her hand, she pulls her over her shoulder and runs for the safe room doors::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The heaving weapons run dry.   The red smoking barrels are all that’s left.  The rebels begin to make a run for the doors.
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
SO:  Odd weapons fire?  What do you mean by "odd"?  ::Closes the locker again, having retrieved two of the units::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO/FCO:  This isn't energy weapons readings...   projectile weapons?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>  ::Enters the security code to close the doors.::   Outloud:  Hurry, the doors are closing!
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Stumbles through the metal security doors, getting just a few meters through to the other side, her fingers feeling the cold metal revealing they've made it, and she continues to trace the wall, toward the side of the room, still moving blindly, but with purpose::
Host CTO_Lamat_Trebor says:
::Knits his brow::  SO:  ...That is indeed odd.  Do we have any lifesigns in that area?
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  As the doors close, the creatures slam against it.  They claw and scream on the other side.
OPS_Abil says:
@::looks at the group and pulls the left sleeve off the robe, handing it to someone who was covered in the animal guts, then limping towards others who looked like they needed aid::
CAG_LeNar_Rond says:
@::moves through the doors, then slows up just enough to match Sera's movements once he's caught up with her... just in case, and he simply scans their new surroundings through narrowed eyes::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
CTO:  I had some briefly...  then they disappeared.
Host CO_Selan says:
@::Stumbles in behind Sera as they just make it through the doors, she slumps against the wall catching her breath and the pain of her ankle::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Anna>:: Slumps down next to a rock to take a breath.::
CMO_Sera_Raile says:
@::Takes a couple more steps, finding some sort of little enclave in the wall, pushing Selan away just a bit, and leans both her arms against the wall, over her bowed head, and finally opens her mouth, the creature-goo oozing from her lips...before the contents of her stomach follow::
SO_Jason_Senn says:
::looks over at the CTO::  CTO:  Sensors give an eighty percent probability that the life sign readings were our crewmates.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Sam>::Begins taking inventory of team members.::
Host CO_Selan says:
@::Moves out of the way, tearing a piece of her robe off and hands it to Sera::  CMO: That was close.  Are you okay?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Zonie> ::Throws his gun on a table near the middle of the room and opens a bottle of what could be alcohol.::
Host SMDrew says:
