On Stardate 10303.22. StarFleet command received a distress call from
Februis IV in the Man'dellan sector. Governor Enrico Januraie claimed that
the Federation colony was under attack by 'energy eating machines'. No
further communcations from Februis IV have been received.

@ :: Whispers :: AT: There
CNS_Masters says:
Computer: Do we have any scans on record of the colony before the apparent attack, and if so, compare those scans to what we currently have on the colony and indicate any changes in energy signatures.
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::sees something metallic whispers:: SO/CTO: what on earth was that
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::spins around and then looks at the CO::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Keeping his light on the object, scans it with his tricorder ::
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The metallic creature advances on the SO walking on its spindly legs
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::Steps back slightly::C TO: What
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ Thinks: Uh oh...
CIV_Kavek says:
XO/CNS: I doubt there is anything to worry about. The captain is very experienced in away missions, I'm more than certain she can handle herself. As for the rest of the crew, I see promise in the tactical officer, he'll survive too.
CTO_Darklighter says:
@CO: Just waiting for your orders captain
FCO_Starlight says:
@OPS; let get back with the CO and everyone....
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ CO/CTO: I'm getting the same elevated energy reading from it...
Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: I'm fully aware of the Captain's experience, especially in that I have been stationed here far longer then yourself, Ambassador.
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@SO: What ever your getting I think we should pull back and regroup until we have an understanding ::watches it :: Right now its not looking to friendly
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The creature leaps at the SO knocking the SO's torch from his hand upon where it seems to attack the torch
OPS_Jameson says:
@FCO: Agreed   ::starts to back track her way to where the tricorder says the rest of the AT is::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Jumps back from the creature ::
CNS_Masters says:
::turns to say some off hand remark to the Ambassador, then thinks better of it as her mouth opens and decides to bite her lower lip and look back at her console, mumbling things as she pecks at the controls::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Scans the creature while it's attacking the torch ::
FCO_Starlight says:
@::follows the OPS officer::
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::jumps infront of the CO and takes a defensive stance::
CIV_Kavek says:
::frowns, then smiles:: XO: Okay... fine. ::turns back to his console::
Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: As you may not be aware, it goes against Starfleet procedure to let the Commanding Officer enter a potentially dangerous situation. That rule applies no matter how experienced CO may be.
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::watches as the SO jumps back and what the creature is doing :: SO?CTO: Any one want to explain that .. maybe it doesn’t like light
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ AT: I think this is one of those very same machines.  It's absorbing the torch's power cells
CIV_Kavek says:
XO: Commander, I know the regulations. I was in Starfleet when you were in diapers. ::grins at the thought::
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::slowly lowers himself and tosses his light across the creature::
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: More metallic creatures scurry forward into the torch light range of the AT, they pause briefly before ......CHARGING
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@SO: Hmm Okay lets regroup outside the building *OPS?FCO* regroup out side of the building
Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Indeed.
FCO_Starlight says:
@::perks up ears as i hear the CO..CO: yes Ma'am
Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: Have you thought about where *you* want to spend *your* retirement yet, Commander?
OPS_Jameson says:
::walks carefully back in the direction of the AT::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ CO: Right, Captain.  :: Backs away from the creatures, and out the door ::
Cmdr_Muir says:
::flashes her a grin away from the CIV::
CTO_Darklighter says:
@All: Kill your lights
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@:: kills tourch and follows the CTO and the SO::
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Torches and tricorders are knocked from the AT 's hands
CNS_Masters says:
CIV: No offense intended, Ambassador, but your observations thus far concerning this mission don't seem to be based off any useful experience, and thus I'm forced to question your judgements until such time that I'm convinced otherwise.
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Looks in shock as his tricorder flies out of his hand ::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::feels her tricorder and torch knocked out of her hands:: SO, CTO: lets get of here now and quickly
CNS_Masters says:
Muir: Oh, I don't know... some place with a good view of the ocean and a nice breeze.
CIV_Kavek says:
CNS: You've only been here an hour Counselor. Give it time. I'm certain you'll find my experience more than outstanding. Especially when we meet battle.
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: More of the creatures pursue the away team
OPS_Jameson says:
::feels something cool jarr her hands, and she loses her grip on her torch and tricorder::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Files out of the basement, up the staircase and into the foyer of the building ::
FCO_Starlight says:
@Growls some:: ::
Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: The Counselor was assigned to the previous Seleya, Ambassador, and I assure you that she 'knows her stuff'.
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::picks up her pace to running still following SO and CTO::
OPS_Jameson says:
@FCO:  We have to get out of here....
OPS_Jameson says:
@::breaks into a run towards the exit stairs::
FCO_Starlight says:
@::runs behind the OPS:: as i growl Loudly this time::
CNS_Masters says:
::spins her chair to face both the CIV and XO:: CIV/XO: This is getting out of hand... we shouldn't be acting like this.
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: 5 of the creatures knock the CO of her feet and rip away her phaser and comm badge
CIV_Kavek says:
XO/CNS: I have no doubt our dear counselor knows her stuff. I just want her to know... I do too. ::evil grin thinking of the time he killed someone with a pencil::
Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: ::nods::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Hears someone fall, turns around and runs back down to help them ::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::feels something knock her and her comm badge and phaser ripped from her scurries to get to her feet::
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::spins around and swings a kick at one of the creatures and picks up the captain:: CO: Go!! Move!! ::pushes the captain to get her to run::
OPS_Jameson says:
@::sees the rest of the AT ahead of them as Anya and the FCO continue sprinting towards the exit::
Cmdr_Muir says:
CIV: Ambassador, I urge you to keep your more... interesting comments to yourself; unless they are of some relevance.
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: A Metallic object plows into the SO and begins viciously attacking him
Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: Try and get in contact with the AT, I'm growing uneasy.
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Sees that the Captain is back on her feet, and follows her and the CTO back out...::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@SO:CTO: I will be fine just get yourselves out of here
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::is fighting one the creatures off::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Feels a shooting pain down his leg and tries to tear the creature away ::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ AT: It's got me!
OPS_Jameson says:
@::catches up with the fallen Captain and CTO::  CO/CTO:  You guys good?  then I suggest we scram
CNS_Masters says:
CIV: Especially you, Ambassador, given your 'outstanding experience' which dwarfs the collective knowledge of myself and this ship's first officer. One simple question... what is your assignment here, Ambassador... and how far does your authority go?
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::grabs the creature attacking the SO and starts punching it wildly:: Self: You little...
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@AT: Just get out of here!!
FCO_Starlight says:
@::sees what is going on  and runs past the OPS.. and slaps at the creature to get him off of the SO
CNS_Masters says:
::raises and eyebrow, almost forgetting the away team:: XO: Sensors show they've been in the same area for quite some time... I'll try raising them.
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Pulls out his phaser and briefly wonders if it'll have any effect ::
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The creature turns on the CTO and starts ripping his flesh away on his hand
CNS_Masters says:
*AT* Seleya to away team, please respond...
CIV_Kavek says:
CNS: My authority goes as far as the planet Vulcan and the Romulan empire. As for my assignment here, I was assigned to aid with the Saaurian issue, as well as to handle further diplomatic situations the Seleya may come across.
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Tries to tear the creature off the CTO's hand, forgetting about his own injuries ::
CTO_Darklighter says:
@::makes a growl himself and unslings his rifle and starts beating the creature with the butt of the gun::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::is still fighting them off::
FCO_Starlight says:
@::GROWLS:: ::real loud::: and tries to  help the CTO and the CO.......
Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: Commence a detailed scan of where they are. I want to know what's happening.
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: More creatures appear and the CO is suddenly overwhelmed
CNS_Masters says:
CIV: Thank you Ambassador, I'll be sure to refer you then whenever we're in the neighborhood of Romulus and Vulcan, and next time we need diplomatic assistance...
CNS_Masters says:
XO: No response... attempting to narrow the scan field.
CIV_Kavek says:
::won't mention he's been a tactical officer since he was fifteen, but he'll leave that for surprise... later::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Taps his comm badge, which luckily is still in place ::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::feels more of them and starts feeling the pain of them ripping at her still trying to fight them off::
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ *Seleya*: This is Revell-Francis. Beam the Away Team out of here!!
CTO_Darklighter says:
@ALL: Everyone get out of here now!! ::overcharges his rifle and tossing it back down where the creatures were coming from and runs::
OPS_Jameson says:
@::grabs hold of the CO's arm::  CO:  Tam,  we are still here.  We are going to get you through this
CNS_Masters says:
::bolts upright from her chair:: *TR* Masters to Transporter Room 1, beam the away team to sickbay... now!
SO_Revell-Francis says:
@ :: Runs out with the CTO, the creatures still at his heels ::
Host CO_Bolitho says:
@::Pulls her arm away from Anya as she fights them off ::
OPS_Jameson says:
@::starts to pull and rip the creatures from Tam, crushing them under her heel each time::
Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The away team beams back aboard the Seleya all except ...
FCO_Starlight says:
@::runs behind everyone::
Host Buzzard says:
Captain Lira Bolitho
Cmdr_Muir says:
CNS: Do we have them?
Host Buzzard says:
Pause Mission
Host Buzzard says:
