Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 34 - 11203.06

Summary:  The Overton continues to hide from the two Romulan Vessels inside M283 while the Claymore crew finishes planning an epic return to the Crontium System. On the planet the security teams have made their way to the top of the stairs and look out at the open sky for the first time in over a week.

************************ Resume Mission ***********************

Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Enters the VIP area.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Peers towards the opening curiously::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Feels a bit of a sensory overload now that he's back in visual range of sunlight and able to breathe fresh air::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes out his tricorder and begins passive scans::
Host CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Pacing the conference room, tapping into a PADD with nervous energy focused into something coherent:: SO/CSO: Okay, good... But if there aren't enough...what about a full-scale version of what Hawk pulled in the atmosphere? If they trail us, vent the Overton's nacelles and igni--  ::Stops mid-pace as she takes note of Captain Sumton's entrance::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes a deep breath taking in the air as she looks up at the sun.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Looks up as the Captain enters... news?::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Now that we are near the surface see if any of the Overton's tactical officers can make contact with the Overton.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::bumps into Davis as he stares forward::  XO: Is that...sunlight...?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: Captain. ::Nods curtly::

ACTION: The rune remains of stone buildings lay in piles around the front opening.   Massive walls in the front of them just upward from the main monastery.   A few dozen Romulans litter the grounds near the wall taking positions behind stone.   In the distance disruptor fire can be heard echoing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>::Overhears the captain as stares, and quickly comes to his senses--or gets away from them?::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>::Hits his comm badge to signal Overton::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Nods to the Claymores officers and takes a seat at the large table.::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Follows the others toward the light not having quite the same reaction to the sun having not been underground for so long.::

ACTION:  Krag’s comm badge only sends back static.

CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Quickly approaches Sumton, standing professionally at his side:: CO: Per your parameters, we've come up with several strategies we might employ against the Romulan warbirds, in defense of the Overton and Claymoer crews.  ::Offers him the PADD:: I can summarize, if you'd like.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Checks his tricorder...with some focus, he can parse the sound of what seems to be weapons fire from the rest of the background noise, but he's not sure how far it is, or in which direction::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Static breaks the momentarily hopeful pause, but in truth he wasn't really expecting anything easy to work out here::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Looks from the doc to the Overton's captain.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks to the tactical officer hearing the static and also looks up toward the opening hearing the gunfire::  XO/CTO: It was a long shot.  Sounds like the fire fight has already started.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Shields his eyes a bit with his minorly injured arm, glad it doesn't hurt much at all, while holding his recovered rifle with the other as he crouches behind Damrok::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Takes the PADD and begins to look it over.::  CMO:  Please do so Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CTO/CO: Who the hell are they firing at, if we're all down here?
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::Still at the rear of the group of security officers::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  Precisely what I was wondering.  Trying to get a fix on the position, but the passive scans aren't particularly accurate.  I might have to switch to active scanning.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CTO: Good question Commander and only one way to find out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Sighs, figuring it was only a matter of time until he got to pull his Punxsutawney Phil routine with a well-armed Romulan army waiting for him to poke his head::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Anything Mr. Damrok?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Relents, toggling his tricorder to active scanning mode for about a five-second burst, hoping to track down the position of the firefight::  CO:  Not yet.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Hopes them going into the light isn't like moths into a bug zapper.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances to Davis and then to Damrok::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO/CTO: We'll be slaughtered if we try to exit this way.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Do you have any other ideas Commander?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::His eyes move downward::  CO: No.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO/XO:  Sirs, there don't seem to be any hostiles directly outside.  I've got a fix on the position of the firefight, though...the Romulans appear to be engaging an unidentified force about fourteen hundred strong on the opposite side of the monastery from here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CTO: If we provide enough cover fire could we get teams to several of the rubble piles laying around and try and slowly make our way to the wall to get inside?
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Leans back against a wall while waiting for the superiors' discussion to end, holding the rifle up and testing his arm's ability to grip it tightly::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow at his report::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: CO: First possible line of defense if the warbirds headed this way enter the nebula after us is to lay out a spread of torpedoes throughout  the nebula. Their shields and sensors should be as compromised as ours, and if they hit even one torpedo, it should do enough damage to help level the field.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: However, if we come to a direct confrontation with them in the nebula first, the Galaxy class Overton, per specs, is able to emit a targetted ionic pulse...
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Nods, figuring today really is a good day to die since T'Shara seems dead set on ordering them to it::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: Although our sensors would be limited, as long as we're in the nebula we don't have to actual hit the warbird: the pulse should react with the excess electrons oft he nebula to create a pocket of plasma near the warbird which could then be ignited with a simple phaser blast.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: If we encounter warbirds outside of the nebula on our way back to Crontium 4, we have two options: if the warbirds trail us, we can vent plasma from the Overton's nacelles directly behind us, then ignite it as before. Mr. Hawk accomplished something similar within the planet's atmosphere.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances slightly at Kytides and then looks for Fong::  OPS: Lieutenant, I know you have helped Raeyld out some is there anything you can do for Ensign Kytides at least to get him by until he can get proper medical attention.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: Or, if the warbirds are before us, we could direct the Overton's ionic pulse at the warbird's plasma coil, possibly activating their cloaking device and forcing their shields to drop. We should be able to get off several shots before they could lose us or deactivate their cloak.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: Finally, if we can make it to the Crontium sun, pulling as many of the remaining warbirds as possible after us, we could barrage the star with electrons from the Overton's deflector shield, triggering a massive solar flare.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: As long as we ensure its trajectory doesn't threaten Crontium 4, we should be able to evade it ourselves while taking out - or at least significantly disabling - as many of the warbirds as we can get to follow us.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  Conjecture suggests that the unknown force could very well be the natives of this planet...which would suggest the team that was sent to the Jarrow may have been successful in their mission.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Her spiel complete, she folds her hands behind her back and waits::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO/CTO: Then let's do it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Pushes his way towards the front, not willing to discuss or debate this anymore::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Mouth hanging slightly open, stares at the CMO with a newfound respect.  Who knew?::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  Whoever they are, they're definitely not Romulan, and the scans -- ::Presses himself against the wall to allow Davis to pass::  -- match no known biosigns.  ::Looks up to Davis as he continues on, and waits for an objection (or lack thereof) from T'Shara before deciding his next course of action::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  XO/CTO: Aye, if that is the case we can't wait any longer let's move out.  I want a team in place to provide cover fire as we move out.  Nobody is left behind.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Blinks and looks up to the captain, resisting the urge to tell her he's fine::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Nods and places the PADD on the table.::  CMO/SO/CSO:  Our Romulan friends have entered the nebula.  They are a ways back.  I'm in agreement we should fire torpedoes and hope for the best.  If that works we will turn to Crontium 4.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  Understood.  Fireteam 1:  Fireteam one, form up on Commander Davis.  Let's move!  ::Follows Davis out::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Stands.::  All: Since this is your mission please join me on the bridge.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Checks her weapon and moves out with the others::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::moves in position behind Davis::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::Hears the tactical officers around him speaking in some foreign version of fed standard.  He shrugs slightly and decides to remain in the back and hope no one notices him::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Her chest rises with a sudden influx of breath she hadn't realized she been denying...She glance with veiled surprise and relief to Senn and Hawk, then quickly turns to nod to Sumton:: CO: Sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Grabbing her brownie, she stands to join the others, looking at Hawk with a lifted brow.::

ACTION:  The three dozen Romulans begin to open fire at the movement near the open door.  Their disruptors take out several security officers as they try to exit.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Checks his phaser to make sure he's going to get a sufficient amount of kill per hit, then looks back to the massing tactical officers::  ALL: As soon we get up, circle around and provide cover for the others. We'll have to make quick decisions when we get out.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Raises his eyebrows at the simplistic decision, but decides, probably wisely, to just go with the flow::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Exits the VIP area and move down the corridor to the Turbo lift and waits for the others.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CTO: Ready?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Finishes the check of his rifle power cell, deciding it'll do for now::  XO:  Ready.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Curses at the fire coming toward the door, and since Fong is hanging back, looks to his team::  Fireteam 2:  Move forward and provide cover fire when they start to move.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Follows Sumton swiftly into the turbolift::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Waits for the CMO and CSO to leave, then follows them out::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
ALL: Move.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Quietly::  CMO:  I am concerned... I hope the others are still safely ensconed.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  We have a full torpedo load in the aft launcher.  We will set them up on a 90 degree spread.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Looks back at Sky to include him in that comment.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::with no hesitation, he climbs through the opening, placing his phaser ahead of himself::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Follows Krag out, leveling his phaser and staying low, looking for cover to advance upon::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Follows right behind Damrok, effectively pushing a security officer out of the way::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Responds back quietly::  CSO/CMO:  You have more pips down there than most ship's stores carry.  They'll not do something stupid.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Rushes forward with his team and crouches down again, his team and himself opening fire toward the Romulans' position::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Reaches the surface for the first time in...however long it's been...and scans around quickly with his eyes::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods in silent agreement with Hawk's sentiment:: @CO: What kind of sensor readings are you able to get on the warbirds through the nebula's interference?

ACTION:  Disruptor fire blasts against stone, ground, and rather close to anything moving.  Dust and dirt begin to fill the battle field.

CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Watches as the tactical teams surges out the door, hanging back leaving this work to the professionals, he'd be more of a hindrance than help at this point.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Makes his way quickly toward a halfway ruined wall at a shuffling run, firing a couple of shots in the direction of the disruptor fire, moving behind cover::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::As is often the case, he instinctively moves with the fire, towards a burned out building about 10 meters away from the opening::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  Not much.  We know they entered the nebula about 12 minutes ago.  They are traveling at 1/8th impulse and actively scanning for us.  We presume they are on a close path to ours, but they are about 8000 kms behind.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Follows the others out of the opening, rifle in hand she takes fire as she finds a place to take cover behind what is left of a small building.  The air is becoming increasingly harder to see with the dust and the dirt.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Hits the wall, its ash and war grime rubbing off on his dirty and generally disgusting clothing; he turns and looks for the source of the fire::

ACTION:  Disruptor fire slams against the wall near Davis's head.

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::She turns and looks for where the shots are coming from, opening fire::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes out his tricorder from the momentary safety of his cover, and begins to look at the layout of the battlefield, trying to determine the best route for flanking their opponent::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Flinches before getting his head down; he turns and fires twice back around the corner::

ACTION:  Phaser and disruptor fire flies back and forth over the battlefield.

OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::Watches as the last of the troops disappear out the doorway into the blinding light and starts to step out, only to hear more disruptor fire and step back into the shadows::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::moves away from the opening, about 5 meters to the left of Davis's position::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Exits out onto the bridge and moves to the center chair.::  CTO:  Fire the aft torpedoes when you’re ready Lieutenant.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: CO: So we have at least a general idea of where they'll be headed.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Listening, she looks around the bridge in general now that they have a moment.::

ACTION:  Romulans begin to move up slightly as more begin to file out of the monastery.

CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Steps out onto the bridge after Sumton, moving naturally to stand near Sumton, near the XO's seat:: CO: Captain, I'd still recommend preparing a cationic pulse, in case one does get by the torpedo spread.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: The "buckshot" effect of the plasma pocket could considerably compensate for our otherwise reduced accuracy due to sensor degradation, if their shields are indeed compromised.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CTO: 'ey! ::points towards the monastery::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CO:  Also, sir.  Suggest configuring the torpedos for vicinity detonation...  not count on a direct hit.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods to Davis, then points to a couple of the fireteams behind himself, then to a route going east of their position to try to flank the advancing Romulans::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Advances further with his team, but hangs further back than the rest of the troops, not wanting to leave Fong, the counselor, and any injured men vulnerable::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::As he sees Damrok give directions, he turns and begins advancing forward since there don't seem to be many Romulans, or as many Romulans, in this area::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches the motion between the two senior officers and nods in agreement with Damrok's plan as if either are noticing::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
<Emirate Cette>  ::Looks over the wall at the battle below with a smile and takes aim with his disruptor.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes her queue from Davis and begins to move forward, continuing to take cover.::

ACTION:  Two Security men fall near Damrok from direct hits from disruptor fire.

CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::As the tactical teams have all moved out he moves to the door and looks out onto the field.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Continues forward quickly, leveling his phaser at a Romulan ahead and shooting him in the back as he looks the other way, into a building or something::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Eyes glued to the viewscreen and sensors as she awaits any tell-tale sign that their torpedoes have impacted with anything "good."::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns around and pulls two of the fireteams with him, leading his team out to the east...before he sees two men fall even from behind their cover...immediately dives and signals his men to hit the ground, scanning for a sniper next::

ACTION:  Several Romulans fall directly ahead of Davis as he advances.

@ACTION:  Ten torpedoes fire from the after torpedo tube.  The fuzzy main viewscreen shows the torpedoes leaving the Overton.

OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::Glances out from behind the doorway and then ducks back into cover.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Deciding he can't have his teams hold in one position for too long, continues at a crouching run, holding and employing cover fire to allow his team to move to a new cover position::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Pulls up near the now deceased Romulan, peering around the corner::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Fires at a Romulan as she makes her way forward following the others.  It was apparent they needed to keep moving::

ACTION:  Emirate Cette fires from atop of the main wall hitting Davis in the right abdomen.

CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Gestures to Hawk and Senn to join her::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Moves over to stand next to the CMO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Just as he draws back, he feels the burning pain in his stomach, and he staggers backwards before falling::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Since the battlefield is still too hectic for the rest to come out, motions most of his team to stay down and cover and takes two men with him, pulling out his tricorder and staying low as he searches for snipers::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Waits to see if there are any reports.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::Glances after the team now looking somewhat distant, leaving a trail of bodies behind them, starfleet and romulan, then retunrs to his hideing place::::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
Fireteams:  Advance!  ::Continues hopping his teams from one cover post to another, trying to come around on the right flank of the Romulans::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
<Emirate Cette>  ::Smiles and turns from the wall edge dropping back out of site.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Crawls towards the wall before feeling the wound, which is not a mix of his blood, charred flesh, and charred crappy clothing::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Standing next to the two, she watches the screen and listens to the officers calling out around them.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Struggles back to his feet and moves along the wall, towards where he thinks the fire came from; he tries to stay low, but he's not moving as well as he normally would for sure::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<CTO_Anto>  CO:  Sir sensors picked up atleast three torpedo explosions.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CO:  Anything on the Warbirds?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Quickly, just between herself and the science officers:: CSO/SO: Hawk's right...the Claymore crew will -- must -- succeed long enough for us to get back.  ::Keeps one ear and eye peels to the CO and CTO's reports::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Watches as Davis pulls himself up she leaves cover and makes her way over to him.::  XO: Let me help you Commander.  ::She looks around and fires at a Romulan coming around the corner::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@::Simply nods::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::From his vantage at the door he sees some downed tactical officers and feeling useless in the fire fight slings his phaser rifle over his back and rushes out to the nearest body, checking to see if he is still alive.::

ACTION:  Romulans being firing towards T'Shara as she closes in on Davis.  The fire blocks her from reaching him.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::continues advancing, not really hearing her::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Nods::  CMO:  Either way, we're a bit limited in actions we can take from here.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Finally in position, sets up for a frontal advance, with the fireteams that had been in position with Davis pushing forward...though he doesn't see Davis at the moment::  Fireteams:  Now!  Begin the assault!  ::Provides fire for his cover as some of his team members strafe into the open to try to push the Romulans back::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Quickly stops and takes cover behind a burned out wall, opening fire in the direction of the Romulans::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Finding nothing weaves his way forward toward the hard fighting, mostly continuing his search for snipers or stragglers since he left most of his fireteam near the entrance::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Staying as low as he can he moves among the downed looking for any he can help.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<CTO_Anto>  CO:  Sir one of the Warbirds are listing to port and the other one has come to a stop.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Looks to Sumton anticipatorially::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Turns left, around the corner of a taller building that is situated on a small grade; in this area, it might be the best place to hide and fire down below, although he hasn't conducted a thorough examination::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CTO:  Very good shooting Mr Anto.   FCO:  Helm set a course for the Crontium System maximum warp.  Engage when ready.

ACTION:  Romulans storm the area near Davis.  Firing wildly they manage to hit Davis in the right arm and leg.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Raises a hand to motion one of the fireteams toward the captain and first officer's position::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Feels a sharp megapunch to his arm, then spins around and falls after being hit in the leg::

@ACTION:  The Overton banks to the starboard side and instantly warps out of the nebula back towards the Crontium system.

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Attempts to move out once again staying low, she now has lost sight of Davis::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Gets to one knee, unfolding his tricorder on the ground to get a better overview of the battlefield...takes a moment to peek out and lay down some more cover fire for his advancing units::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Feels the ship move into warp and mutters::  About damn time
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@CMO/SO:  Alright... the basics have worked for now.  The question next is what is the captain here going to do next.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Miraculously, he managed to hold on to his phaser, but the pain is so intense that he's having trouble focusing on anything::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Exhales softly, then looks to Senn and Hawk with a bit of relief::
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Coninues further, slipping through cover faster now and very occassionally glancing to his tricorder as he and his two men fire on the occassional Romulan they can see::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Struggles forward towards the wall, where he thinks the fire came from::

ACTION:  Disrutors blasts near Ensign Foster spraying debris and dirt over him.

SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO/CMO:  Well, I assume we're going to scan the area and see if we can pick up lifesigns from the AT team...  that will drive our next steps.

ACTION:  Romulans fall from Kytides team as they advance.

CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ SO:  I would like to be one step ahead, not on the dot.  Are we beaming ours aboard and heading out?  And if so, what about the natives?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: CSO/SO: Beam them out -- all of them -- if possible, then see what to do about the Romulans still on the planet, and what we can do for Grand Minister Belaon's people.

ACTION:  Romulan fire explodes the rock wall Damrok was hiding behind.  His position is now exposed to enemy fire.

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Makes her way east to meet up with Damrok and his team, hoping Davis has made it there.  She readies her rifle taking aim at the back of a Romulan as it stands between her and a wall::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::He reaches the wall at the higher position, his blood streaked on the ground he has just crawled::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  He has two options, sis...  beam down reinforcements or beam them out.  ::frowns::  Or maybe three...  he could do an aerial bombardment of the area if our folks and the natives are still under cover.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CSO: We can make plans all we like...but once Captain T'Shara and Commander Davis are aboard, that's their call - and that of Captain Sumton. Not ours. Though we can certainly prepare information and perspectives for them.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ALL:  We will be back to Crontium 4 in 23 minutes.  We should have sensors in about 15.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Had been going to send another team and hold their present position, but now that it's become untenable, orders his team out at a full rush toward the nearest cover along the right flank, all while firing toward the main Romulan formation...glances over his shoulder as he realizes his tricorder's been left behind, then presses on::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Flattens himselft to the ground as blast hit around him.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ CMO/SO:  Actually, turning this monster over to them suits me just fine.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Smiles::  CSO:  Burdens of command too heavy?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
<Emirate Cette>  ::Moves up behind Davis.:: XO:  Well Commander.  I see your the first to arrive.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Turns, squinting to try and focus his vision as he looks towards the source of the voice;:
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Draws his phaser from his side::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Sees one of the tactical officers move nearby and still staying low moves over to see if he can help or at least help him into cover.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes up a new position and begins strafe-and-cover maneuvers again, trying to gain an advantageous route for another assault, if possible::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Smiles briefly at the Claymore crew, then turns back to Sumton:: CO: Thank you, Captain.  Directly to Crontium 4?  There are at least three warbirds remaining, aren't there?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
<Emirate Cette>  ::Grabs the phaser as Davis draws it.::  XO:   No Commander I would not do that in your condition.  ::Pulls a dagger with his free hand and drive it into Davis's chest.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ SO:  I would rather someone else sign your death sentence.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Releases hold of the phaser, a look of total shock coming across his face before he loses consciousness::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::grins again::  CSO:  Not always, sis.
TO_Ens_Kytides says:
::Checks his tricorder one more time now that they're near the main area of the fighting before putting it up, then starts for the left flank after deciding it needs the most support::

ACTION:   From the battlefield a Starfleet officer is seen on top of the wall.  Soon a Romulan comes into view and grabs the phaser the officer drew from his waist.   Then a sharp jab to the chest and the officer slides down to his knees out of site....

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Notices blood on the ground and looks up to see what appears to be Davis and a Romulan::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
