Host Rich says:
Prologue: The crew of the Apache is still in the holodeck program and now are part of a military group fighting an enemy that they really don't know. Will they survive or will they all die an awful death?
Host Rich says:

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::crouching behind some cover, rifle in hand::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Sits on a rock where she has a good view of the war, making a cup of tea and munching a ration bar::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::keeps on with covering fire on enemy position while a squad moves forward::
Host Rich says:
Action: The crew can hear incoming mortars.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: Incoming, get down and keep your mouth open!
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::hits the dirt an opens her mouth::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::put his head between his knees and does what soldier do in this situation, swears silently::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Sips her tea::
Host Rich says:
Action: The mortars hit a few yards down the line. The crew can see a few of soldiers fly into the air where the mortars land.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::looks at his people seeing how they are faring::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Waves to the XO::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks up and gives him a cocky smirk::
Host Rich says:
Action: A piece of shrapnel from the mortars hit the CTO in the arm tearing a large gash in it.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Looks at her arm in annoyance::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::scrambles over with the med kit and starts to work on the arm::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO/CMO: How does it look?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I'll live Sir.
Host Sergent_Bear says:
CTO: Didn't you hear the order to hit the dirt?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Not bad, mostly superficial.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Bear: Sorry, I'm not playing Army today.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: You did not have to give up your arm, to show the holodeck has not safeguards. But thank anyway.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Just checking to make sure Boss. ::winks::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Do they have anything modern in those med kits or do you have to suture the wound the old way?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::finishes with the wound:: CTO:  Good as new
Host Sergent_Bear says:
CTO: Well I guess it is you life. just don’t come running to me if the next one hits you in the head. :: walks away shaking his head:: Self: Why do they always send me the crazy ones.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
CMO: I brought one of ours along ::holds up a dermal regenerator::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: Hey sarge, what's the plan?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
CMO: Thanks Doc, I'm terrible auto suturing one-handed. ::smiles::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
CTO: Anytime ::smiles::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::wonders if the CTO has ever seen that old earth movie called "Rambo"::
Host Sergent_Bear says:
XO: For now we are to just hold this position.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Bear: Sorry Sarge, but active participation in a gunfight will invalidate my life insurance policy with Ferengi Mutual. ::smirks::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: Well something tells me that after artillery we will see enemy infantry soon.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::raises an eyebrow::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Finishes her ration bar and tea and gets in a foxhole::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::Looks at the FCO in the foxhole and notices that the CO has been stunned by a mortar shell::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
:::takes not of the other combat medics and their kits:: XO: Sir, it appears that their medical technology is fairly close to ours.
Host Sergent_Bear says:
XO: That is a good bet however if they hold to what they have done before they won't be here till tomorrow.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Maybe we moved in time a little bit, and now their technology is closer to ours. Can you give a check to the Captain and see if she is just stunned and not wounded?
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: Does any party in this war have nuclear weapons?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Moves over to the XO's hole:: XO: So, what do you think Boss?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Certainly ::goes over to the CO::
Host Sergent_Bear says:
XO: I am afraid so. As a matter of fact both sides do.

Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: I think we will soon see some big boom, I am thinking this holodeck tells the story of how this civilization came to an end.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Swap rifles with me.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::finishes checking the CO and goes back over to the XO::XO: She'll be all right, just stunned. She should be awake in a little while.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: Do we have something for the fallout? ::nods to Latta and passes his rifle to Gina::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Passes her rifle to the XO and starts disconnecting the sensor on his just like she did to hers earlier::
Host Sergent_Bear says:
XO: Just these holes in the ground. The higher up really don't think that the other side will use them.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: Ah, typical powers to be.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I have some limited anti-rad meds in my kit.
Host Rich says:
Action: The CTO's Action now renders the weapon completely inoperatable. Just like the one that she had is inoperatable.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Good, prepare to inoculate anyone on the team. You never know. Do you have something for gas poisoning too?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Reconnects the stupid rifle so it works again, seeing it's just like the holodeck doors, unable to be changed::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Yup, I generally pack for all occasions.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Takes her rifle back and fixes that as well::
Host Rich says:
Action: The team can now hear some planes flying high overhead.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks up::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: That would be come useful as well, you never know, on Earth people used some very nasty stuff.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: theirs or ours?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
ALL: Might want to get in your holes... looks like Air Support is coming in.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I remember from Earth History at the Academy.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Runs and jumps into the foxhole nearest the XO::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::does the same::
Host Sergent_Bear says:
CTO: I believe that those are our boys heading out to bomb the enemy.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Bear: Ever hear of short rounds or too-close air support?
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Bear: So I guess there is only to wait. ::opens a ration packet::

Host Sergent_Bear says:
CTO: Good point. :: crawls into the nearest foxhole::
Host Rich says:
Action: The group can hear an explosion in the distance.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Bear: What do we have in the way of mines or grenades? I'd like to set up some things so when the infantry get here they get a warm welcome and can't rush our positions.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::sits down next to the XO and opens her own rations::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
All: Friendly fire, another universal constant. ::Opens a can of what looks like tuna::
Host Sergent_Bear says:
:: pulls out some papers and hand them to the CTO:: CTO: This is what we have out there if you want to set up anything else have at it.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::picks up something that resembles grayish peanut butter and grimaces::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Murphy's Laws of Combat: Friendly fire, isn't, Suppressive fire doesn't, and Incoming fire has the right of way.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::laughs:: ALL: It seems this time they had their bearing right.
Host Rich says:
Action: A very large explosion can be heard and then as the group watch they can see a big mushroom cloud beginning to form .
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Goes to the supply depot and brings back several cases of grenades, one for each hole. Then starts placing directional anti-personnel mines in front of the foxholes, bringing the detonators back to the positions::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Sees the cloud and runs for her foxhole:: All: Ass to the blast COVER!!
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Dives in and covers up::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::immediately pulls out a hypo of anti-radiation meds and injects herself, than the XO before taking cover::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Anti rad medication...and people try not to keep your skin exposed.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO : Way ahead of you ::belly crawls to the CTO's hole and injects her::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Uses anti-radiation meds from her own kit as she hides in her hole::
Host Rich says:
Action: The group can see what looks like a wall of debris heading their way however just before it reaches their position the holodeck goes dark.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: I guess this is the end.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Is anyone hurt?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
All: This is the end... my only friend, the end... ::singing the old Doors song::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Only the CO I guess. All: Anyone has a match?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Gets out her palm beacon from her survival kit and turns it on::
Host Rich says:
Action: As the holodeck begins to lighten the crew can see what looks like a desolate world.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::gives a long low whistle::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Looks around:: All: Well... at least they didn't do a half-arse job...
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Nope, I wonder who built the floating library though.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
All: No wonder there are no records of them ::pulls out her medical tricorder to take readings::
Host Rich says:
Action: the group can see a few building off in the distance.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO:  A few of the survivors possibly? Maybe like Cochran hidden in a secure and protected facility?
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: Let's check if there are any survivors in that cluster of buildings:: Starts moving::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::falls in behind the XO, scanning as she moves::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Takes her rifle and assumes point::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CMO: Doc, what's the radiation level?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Mid-level Sir... the meds we took should hold us for a while, but I wouldn't want to vacation here.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I'm getting the same readings
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: How long is a while?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Walking point, looking for any trouble::
Host Rich says:
Action: As the group near the building they can see a few of the reptile like being moving around quite excitedly.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::moves forward:: Reptiles: Are you all right? We mean no harm.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: About twelve hours per dose. I've got a few more doses with me as well.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
whispers to CMO: I really hope we will be out of here in 12 hours.
Host Darren says:
:: sees the group coming near the building:: XO: Are you here to see the launch?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
ALL: If you begin feeling nauseous let me know and I will give you another dose.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Darren: Yes, when it will happen?
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Me too.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Stays in a watching position, weapon held in low ready::
Host Darren says:
XO: Very shortly I believe. At least that is what we have heard.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Darren: How does the vehicle work? Do you know?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
CMO: I'll let you know if I get symptoms Doc. If you need me I'm a trained Nurse and Combat Medic.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
CTO: Thanks
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::nods::
Host Darren says:
XO: I am not sure of just all of it capabilities but we were told that it contains a history of our people.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Keeps an eye on things, waiting, letting the XO do his face-man thing::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
Self: Well that answers that.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Darren: Do you know any of the scientists who designed it?
Host Darren says:
XO: No we were just told about it and when it would launch. The people told us that by the time any one found it we would all be dead.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Thinks this thing is more like the Probe the 1701D ran into that let Picard relive the life of a citizen in a few minutes than the library of the masks::
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Darren: I would like to tell the scientists who designed this project that they succeeded. My name is Polo and we found your probe and we are learning from you.
Host Rich says:
Action: As the group talk with Darren they can see a rocket like projectile heading out into space.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::tries to get a scan with the tricorder to be 100% sure the two objects match::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Watches it launch::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks up as the object flies in to space::
Host Darren says:
:: Kind of looks at the XO funny:: XO: how can you have found it you will be dead soon like the rest of us.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::sees that the data match:: Darren: Do you know how the probe works?
Host Rich says:
Action: As the object passes into space and out of site of the group the holodeck again goes dark. and a small light comes on showing one reptile like person.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Reptile: Hello, I presume you are the one who designed the ship.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Watches the projection::
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::watches, wondering what the projection will say::
Host Repitle_Person says:
All; You have just been shown a brief view of our history. We our selves have been dead now for nearly 1000 of your years. The object that now has you ship in a tractor beam has stored in it memory banks the whole history along with what happened after the atomic bomb strike. I hope that who ever you are that it can teach you not to do what we have done and possibly help you to keep some one else from doing the same thing to themselves. At the end of this message you ship will be released and you can then investigate the object at your leisure.
Host XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Reptile: Thank you sir. We are honored and be sure you will not be forgotten. ::wonders if the hologram can hear him::

CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Contacts her people and tells them to stand down::
Host Rich says:
Action: As the Reptile person ends his speech the holodeck returns to normal and the team can see the open doors. As well the tractor beam that was holding the Apache is now shut down and the object has no power.
CMO_Lt_Latta says:
ALL: All right guys, the first place anyone is going is Sick Bay. Decon for everyone.
