Host XO_Farrel says:
Duty log star date 10212.06.  We’re surrounded.  Robots are approaching us from all around.  Meanwhile, a mysterious floating head has appeared and claims to be able to stop the robots, but only if we give the order to activate the ring.  I am left between two choices I don’t want to make.  If the robots are hostile- She is interrupted by the clang of metal- then we don’t stand much of a chance.

Host XO_Farrel says:
But, if we activate this ring, I have no idea what will happen.  With the power I have observed on this ellipse so far, I can only imagine what chain of events may unfold if we unleash its power.  For all we know activating it could trigger the other rings, could trigger more unknowns...

Host SM_Sergio says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin "Ring of Warning", part 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION: Defensive screens go up around all the major cities on the ring

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::She cocks her rifle, hearing the sound of approaching metal::  All: All right everyone, rifles up, stand at the ready.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Takes up a defensive position, Phaser rifle ready::

TO_Sky says:
@::hands the CTO a couple of the explosives and readies her rifle::

FCO_Teasley says:
::scans the inhibitors to find any weaknesses::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Incoming communication from SF Command... Reads as Follows : "USS Cherokee and USS Apache have found out the intent of the Ring worlds:  the destruction of all life. Please take steps to ensure this does not happen"

Host XO_Farrel says:
@COMM: Artemis:  Stand-by for possible emergency transport...

CTO_Peters says:
@::Takes the explosives...  Looks to the XO to let them know they are ready.::

CSO_KTor says:
@::arms his rifle, glances around the room, and waits::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Passes a couple explosives to the CSO.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
::looks back to the floating head:: @Construct: Are these robots hostile?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Robots approach from all sides, wielding welding torches and cutting tools, rather than any "real" weapons.

CSO_KTor says:
@::takes the explosives and stands ready to use them if necessary::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Aims her rifle at the robots.::

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: We need to cover each other's backs...perhaps an outward facing circle?

Host SM_Sergio says:
@XO : I am sorry.. I cannot allow you to leave this structure... You know too much about this facility already.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods at the TO.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@Robots : Kill them, but save the bodies for later study...

TO_Sky says:
@::aims at the robots::

FCO_Teasley says:
*XO*COMM: Understood

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The construct disappears.

CTO_Peters says:
@Construct:  No happening buddy, no bodies for you today....  ::Fires her weapons::

TO_Sky says:
@::takes aim and starts firing at the nearest robot::

CSO_KTor says:
@::aims his rifle at the nearest robot and fires::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : A few of the robots are stuck, but there are more coming in behind them

Host XO_Farrel says:
@Construct: You don't need to... ::sighs as it disappears:: do that...  Everyone, fall in tight together. ::Steps back, rifle raised, aiming at the closet robot:: COMM: Artemis: Beam us up!

FCO_Teasley says:
::gets ready on the transporter::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Takes out a grenade and pulls the pin and throws it.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::initiates the transporter::

TO_Sky says:
@::grabs some grenades and pulls the pin and throws it::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Meanwhile on the ship, the Artemis' sensors pick up the Breen still moving to the biggest city, and some of the strange life forms also moving that way

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Transporter fails. There are defensive shields around all the major cities.

CSO_KTor says:
@::glances around and sees a tight group of robots - is about to pull the grenade's pin, but holds off for a moment, not wanting to throw it inside the transporter room::

FCO_Teasley says:
*XO*COMM: I can't get you, the defense shield went up

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Grits her teeth and fires at the robot blowing it back just before it reaches out::

CSO_KTor says:
@::realizes that transport has failed, and pulls the pin and throws the grenade::

CSO_KTor says:
@::keeps firing his rifle at the nearest robots::

CTO_Peters says:
@ALL:  We need a way out of here!  ::Looks around for an escape route..::

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: Guess we have to keep fighting. ::takes aim and starts firing at the robots::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The lift were the AT is never moved... The doors are still there.. Behind a wall of robots.

CEO_Russel says:
::In the secondary hull, working on the installation of the replacement parts of the deflector along with 3 repair teams.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The robots get closer, each climbing over their partner's limp carcasses

FCO_Teasley says:
::scans the area where the AT is to find a way out::

TO_Sky says:
@CSO: Their robots for goodness sake...machinery...there has to be a way to shut them down! ::continues firing::

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  Do you see any shafts we can climb into?  ::Throws another grenade at the wall of robots blocking the lift.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The defensive screens prevent accurate scanning.

CSO_KTor says:
@TO: I was just thinking of that. ::throws an armed grenade into a group of approaching robots, giving himself enough time to run some quick tricorder scans on the robots::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CTO: Cover me... ::Blows away the closest robot, rolls under another one, and reaches the archway, moving her hand over what she hopes is the console to close the door::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : A few robots fly as a grenade explodes behind them

TO_Sky says:
@::looks around:: CTO: If there are they are well hidden.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Fires as the XO starts moving, keeping up the defensive fire.::

TO_Sky says:
@::continues firing::

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees he can't get the full pictures due to the shield::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One of the robots manages to throw a welding tool onto the AT; scorching the XO's arm

CTO_Peters says:
@::Mentally takes stock of her weapons::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The way to the door is a bit more open now.

CTO_Peters says:
@::fires at the robot throwing welding tools::

Host XO_Farrel says:
Ah! ::Screams and recoils.  Her rifle flings back, but she springs it forward again, and fires forward into the attacking robot::  All: How do we close this damn thing!

CEO_Russel says:
::Stands looking at his engineers work for a few seconds, then heads back to the TL, satisfied with the progress.::

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: I'm not sure that I have enough grenades ma'am. I wasn't expecting this much company. ::continues firing::

TO_Sky says:
@XO: I wish I knew ma'am. Are you okay?

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  Make due with what we have...  ::Fires at the console the XO was at.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The lift door gets closed.. But for what?

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: I think we may have more trouble. ::keeps rifle at the ready::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  TL:  Main Engineering.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@TO: I think so... All: Mop up what's left in here... ::Starts shooting more robots, grins as the console ignites sparks:: CTO: Just what I was thinking.

FCO_Teasley says:
*XO*COMM: Commander Farrel?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The AT is now backed against the elevator doors, as more and more robots head their way, coming from the darkness

CTO_Peters says:
@Self: Now how to get this lift moving.  ::Mutters::

CSO_KTor says:
@::having taken readings, tucks his tricorder away and resumes firing his rifle::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The floor near the AT is now covered in rubble

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Robot rubble

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Fewer and fewer robots are coming the AT's way, but a welding cut can be seen from behind them, on the lift doors

FCO_Teasley says:
COM:XO: Commander Farrel?

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: try scanning for a way to access the lift.  ::looks up from phaser fire:: COMM:FCO: Farrel here.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:FCO: I know you don't need to hear this but we got a message from SFC about the intent of the ring worlds

CSO_KTor says:
@::blasts a robot then drops his rifle and starts scanning around for controls:: XO: I'm on it.

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits the TL and walks to ME.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::blows a robots head off:: COMM:FCO: I don't think it could be any worse then down here...what is it?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Scanners indicate the lift has not moved, and that there are about 30 robots outside the door. The CSO can access the door controls, much as the XO did.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: Apparently they are intent on destroying all life

CTO_Peters says:
@XO:  Cmdr. we really need to get out of here...  If we are not careful we will be boxed in and we will be line up against a wall in front of a firing squad...

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: This makes no sense.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: And we're to see that doesn't happen

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The cut on the lift is almost complete.. Sounds of clanking metal can be heard from the lift doors

Host XO_Farrel says:
@: All: Everyone...eyes out for a hatch, console...anything... ::Darts around looking at the floor for a hatch::

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: Sir I could open the door, but there are about 30 robots outside.

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  No, Bri, it doesn't, but nothing about this world makes sense..

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters ME.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CTO: We're already lined up against a wall before a firing squad. ::nodding towards the welding coming through the elevator doors::

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: Not that we will likely need the controls in a few moments.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Can I borrow your shoulders for a second... and I'll check the ceiling for an escape route ?

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: I could move the elevator down if you would like.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks over to a console.  Checks on the progress to the nacelle.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Go for it.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: I've been trying to scan the area to provide a map for you, but the defense shield is blocking the scanners

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : With a loud thud, the elevator door falls, and robots start coming through.

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: Very well. ::blasting into the darkness, walks over to the console and starts working::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@COMM:FCO: Keep trying to find a way out for us... we're under heavy attack... robots... all around...

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Perhaps someone else could?

CTO_Peters says:
@::As the CSO walks away she figures his shoulders are not for rent.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Fires as fast as she can, trying to stop the robots from getting past the door frames::

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Aye Sir...  ::Motions for Bri.::

TO_Sky says:
@::walks over to the CTO:: CTO: I know I'm not that tall but perhaps it will be enough?

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  Hopefully I won't be too heavy for you..

FCO_Teasley says:
::recalibrates the sensors and scans again::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Caught by surprise, the OPS officer gets knocked out by a robot coming through the lift door

TO_Sky says:
@::shoulders rifle:: CTO: Ma'am I am used to working on a horse ranch I think I can take your weight. ::holds hands out cupped to aid the CTO getting on her shoulders::

CTO_Peters says:
@::puts her foot into Bri's hands and climbs onto her shoulder.  Raises her arms to reach the ceiling.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Sees Mades fall, blows away the robot standing over him.  She runs over and pulls him into the center of the away team::

TO_Sky says:
@::grabs the CTO's ankles to steady her:: CTO: Not much more than lifting my baby brother.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The ceiling is not reachable.

CSO_KTor says:
@::starts typing on the console with his left hand only, pulls out a hand phaser with his right hand and starts firing::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Suddenly, the floor shakes, and the lift starts moving

CTO_Peters says:
@::Wants to grin but doesn’t.:: TO:  You say that now.  ::Curses loudly.::  I can't reach!

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Now would be a good time for that desc- ::feels the movement:: - Ah, good work.

CEO_Russel says:
::Checks on the reports from the bridge.  His eyes widen as he reads of the AT's situation.  Runs off out of ME.::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Falls to the floor once the lift starts.::

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: I think it's going to take several people to reach that ceiling. ::tries to grab the CTO and looses balance:: Sorry ma'am.

CSO_KTor says:
@::stands up and starts shooting with his rifle again::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The robots keep coming, but they are starting to crash over each other, coming from the lift door

CTO_Peters says:
@::Crashes onto the floor.::  TO:  Not your fault ::Lets out a groan::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The construct appears again.

TO_Sky says:
@::falls and goes into a roll coming back up grabbing rifle from shoulder taking aim at the new incursion of robots::

FCO_Teasley says:
::tries to scan the area again::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  TL:  Bridge!

Host Construct says:
@All : You will not be successful.. I will activate the Ring's systems when they are primed and ready.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Climbs back onto her feet and winces a bit, but gets her rifle back up.::

TO_Sky says:
@::tries to cover the CTO until she can get back on her feet::

Host Construct says:
@All : You will not be able to warn the Dark ones. They cannot destroy the Ring.

CTO_Peters says:
@::fires a shot through the construct.  Not because it would do any good, but because it feels good.::

TO_Sky says:
@::whispers:: CTO: There has to be a way to stop this.

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The last of the robots is destroyed.

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: Feel better ma'am?

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::hovering over Mades, scanning him for injuries.  She looks up at the construct:: Construct:  Stop this all now...or our ship will tell the dark ones.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Mutters::  TO:  Much.

CSO_KTor says:
@::seeing the last robot destroyed, puts his rifle over his shoulder and starts scanning with a tricorder again::

Host Construct says:
@XO : It doesn't matter. They will not reach us in time. The Advanced Life Forms must not be allowed to escape.

CEO_Russel says:
::TL stops.  Exits onto the bridge.::

Host Construct says:
@XO : The only way of containing them is activating the Ring's primary systems.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@Construct: Why must you destroy the advanced life forms?

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Oh good, I was just about to call you

CEO_Russel says:
::His uniform and arms are burnt and cut at many places.::  FCO:  How's the away team doing?

Host Construct says:
@::Stays silent:: XO : You will stop this elevator.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::her rifle slinged, tricorder in her good hand, she tried hitting the buttons with the thumb of the same hand, her other arm hurt.::  @Construct: Why?

FCO_Teasley says:
@XO: They’re fine for now, there's a defense shield around their position, you might not be up to it, but we got to bring it down now

TO_Sky says:
@::whispers:: CTO: Perhaps we can use something to destroy this thing if there is anything to destroy when this lift stops?

Host Construct says:
@XO :I will answer no more of your questions. Goodbye. ::disappears again::

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The lift stops moving

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks over to the Engineering console, powers it and scans the ring.::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Shrugs::  TO:  I suspect we are going to have to get into their computer systems and do a self-destruct type thing.

TO_Sky says:
@::shakes head as the Construct disappears again:: CTO: Sort of reminds me of the story of Oz my grandparents used to tell me. If there is such a thing... ::trails off::

FCO_Teasley says:
::heads over to OPS::CEO: Need any more power?

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::sighs as it looks like Mades will be out for a while, she folds up the tricorder and puts it away, standing:: CTO/TO: Secure just outside the lift.  Let’s explore the new floor.

Host Construct says:
ACTION: The lift is dead.

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  Honey, I don't see any yellow brick roads here.  ::Looks over at the XO.::  XO:  Aye Sir, but please don't move out until we secure the way.

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Not for now, just need to figure out how the system is built...

CSO_KTor says:
@::turns to face the door::

FCO_Teasley says:
::heads back to tactical::

TO_Sky says:
@::chuckles:: CTO: I know...I just meant the way that head thing keeps appearing and disappearing when it doesn't get it's way. ::heads towards the doors walking carefully::

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The door doesn't open.

Host XO_Farrel says:
::Nods and reaches for her comm:: COMM: Artemis: Commander, can the shields be disabled with our weapons?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Takes up a place in front of the door and notices it won't open.:: XO:  Sir, we can cut a hole in the door if you want?

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: We're trying to deactivate the defense shield now

CSO_KTor says:
@::steps over to the door control console:: CTO/TO: Should I try to open the door from here?

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CTO: Do it.

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Everything is deep within the ring...  if they could find a way to access the computer systems and get me in...

TO_Sky says:
@::readies weapon:: CTO: Well now we just have to figure a way out of this little hell hole.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods at the CSO and stands ready with her phaser just in case it doesn’t work.::

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The Breen enter the main city

CSO_KTor says:
@::starts working on the console to open the door::

CTO_Peters says:
@TO:  Let’s see if the CSO can open it first if not, we will blast it.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM: XO: Is there anyway you can access their computer systems?

Host XO_Farrel says:
COMM:FCO: Possibly, we're trying to get in now...What's the status of the Breen away team, are they trapped on the ring too?

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The unidentified life forms are also reaching the main cities.

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: The Breen and unidentified life forms are heading towards the main cities

CTO_Peters says:
@::Looks over at the CSO.:: CSO:  Sir, how is it coming?

Host XO_Farrel says:
COMM:FCO: Acknowledged...can the photons and phaser bring the shielding around this city down?

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM: XO: They might, but with all of you in there, I don't think it's a good idea

Host Construct says:
ACTION : The CSO has no luck opening the door

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: I would suggest if this doesn't work to have everyone move back...I don't know what kind of mess this will cause if we blast the doors.

Host XO_Farrel says:
COMM:FCO: Stand-by to give it a try, we have escape the robots for now, but if we encounter them again... we're very outnumbered.

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO/TO: It's locked. ::steps toward the back of the room away from the doors::

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  They wouldn't, the shields are strong enough to withstand bombardment.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Sighs:: ALL:  Ok looks like we blast the doors.  Good try K'Tor.   ::Nods at the TO and begins a sustaining fire on the door.::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: Sorry sir, Commander Russel just informed me that we can't, the best you can do get access to their systems so we can sabotage it

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Pulls Mades away from the door::  COMM:FCO: Very well...

TO_Sky says:
@::takes aim and concentrates a sustaining fire on the door::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The door blows outward.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Any luck?

TO_Sky says:
@::shields eyes as the door blows::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Smiles as the door blows::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Any way to link into the computer using the tricorders?

CSO_KTor says:
@::inner eyelids involuntarily block out the bright blast::

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: Well that is one way to open a door. ::pulls rifle back into position and heads towards the door being cautious::

CSO_KTor says:
@::scans both consoles in the elevator looking for a way of accessing the main computer systems::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Steps through the door, rifle ready, quickly scans the room on the other side.::

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: I can't get to the main computer systems from here, sir.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : They step out into a corridor, lit with a very dull light::

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  No.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Darn...

TO_Sky says:
@::steps into the corridor looking cautiously:: CTO: Well it looks like we only have one way to go unless we want to go back into the coffin.

Host XO_Farrel says:
::shouts out to the corridor:: @CTO: all clear?

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  ... however, the areas between the cities aren't shielded...

CSO_KTor says:
@::turns his tricorder on the corridor, basic scans::

CTO_Peters says:
@::cautiously moves into the room.:: TO:  Aye, and that is not my first choice.   Bri do you have a light ?    XO:  One moment ma'am, just want to get a bit more light here.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO:  Where is the AT now?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Turns on her wrist light.::

TO_Sky says:
@::rummages in the back and hands over a light to the CTO strapping one to her own arm::

CTO_Peters says:
@::attaches the second light and turns it on.::

CSO_KTor says:
@XO/CTO/TO: I'm detecting life signs, 200 meters. Very faint, not moving.

CTO_Peters says:
@CSO:  Which direction?

CEO_Russel says:
::checks his scans.::  FCO:  I don't see them on sensors.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Massages her arm, but pulls her hand back, the sting flaring up at the slightest tough::

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO: Down the corridor.

CTO_Peters says:
   @::Flashes the light down the corridor.::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: Where are you right now?

TO_Sky says:
@CTO: Should we check it out before they follow along?

CSO_KTor says:
@CTO/TO/XO: They match those unidentified life forms we detected from orbit.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The corridor is bare, no other doors visible, except the one at the end of the corridor 200 meters ahead.

CSO_KTor says:
@::concentrates his tricorder on the door at the end trying to get better readings::

CTO_Peters says:
@XO:  I think that maybe the way to go...  Clear approach but don't know what is on the other end.

Host XO_Farrel says:
::clenches teeth as the pain gradually fades:: COMM: FCO:  ah....Somewhere below...we took a lift down...

TO_Sky says:
@::moves a little further down the corridor watching and listening close::

FCO_Teasley says:
@XO: The areas between the cities are not shielded

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : All is silent and quiet in the corridor

CEO_Russel says:
::scans the areas outside the cities, looking for any recognizable systems, computer systems, localized cores or power supplies.::

CSO_KTor says:
@::steps out behind the CTO and TO following them down the corridor::

TO_Sky says:
@::moves back up to the CTO:: CTO: It's all quiet ma'am.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::listens to the away team chatting outside the lift.  She grabs Mades' leg with her good arm and drags him behind her into the corridor::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@COMM:FCO: We'll try to make it beyond the shields 

TO_Sky says:
@CSO: Can you help with the OPS officer?

CSO_KTor says:
@::grabs Mades and helps the TO carry him::

TO_Sky says:
@XO: Ma'am the only thing we can do is hope that door is a way out of this madhouse but I do advise caution.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods at the rest of the AT and begins proceeding down the hall.

TO_Sky says:
@::turns and heads down the corridor keeping weapon at the ready::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@All: Forward it is... Ensign Sky I need you to help me with Mades, we need K’Tor to continue scanning.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Walks cautiously::

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  I can't scan deeper than the 40th level between the cities.

CSO_KTor says:
@TO: Sorry, but... ::shifts Mades off his shoulder to concentrate on scanning::

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Keep an eye open for the AT

Host XO_Farrel says:
@::Drags Mades down the hall, following the others::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM: XO: What level are you on?

TO_Sky says:
@::nods at the CTO and turns back again...slings rifle over shoulder and lifts the OPS officer trying to get down the corridor::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The AT nears the end of the hall.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Any idea what level this is?

CSO_KTor says:
@::scans directly above him to determine depth::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Puts her hand up for everyone to stop.:: XO: Permission to proceed alone to check it out before we all descend into the room?

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CTO: Very well.

CSO_KTor says:
@XO: Sir, we are nine floors down from the surface.

CSO_KTor says:
@::turns his tricorder back to the door and the bio-reading behind it::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@CSO: Thanks.  COMM:FCO: Nine floors down.

CTO_Peters says:
@::proceeds into the room alone, cautiously, slowly puts one foot in front of the other....eyes dart around the room.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The CTO sees a large room, filled with what appear to be stasis chambers.

Host XO_Farrel says:
@TO: Did we bring a med. kit?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The chamber's surfaces are glossy from condensation.

TO_Sky says:
@XO: In my bag ma'am.

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: The second we can beam them up, let me know

CEO_Russel says:
::Keeps an eye out for the AT.::

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Aye.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Slowly she moves to the first chamber noticing the floor is a little slippery::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The chambers are large tubes running from the ground to the ceiling

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM: XO: Keep moving, and prepare to be beamed out

TO_Sky says:
@::lowers the Mades to the floor and reaches into the bag pulling out a med. kit::

Host XO_Farrel says:
@TO: Pass the dermal regenerator please.

FCO_Teasley says:
*Sickbay*: Prepare to receive incoming wounded

TO_Sky says:
@::pulls out the dermal regenerator and hands it over:: XO: Here you go ma'am.

CTO_Peters says:
@::She rubs a hand on one of the glass surface revealing the inside.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
COM@FCO: Wait, when you get a lock, let us know first, not all of us are returning. ::nods to Sky in thanks, and runs the regenerator over her hurt arm::

FCO_Teasley says:
COMM:XO: Sir?

CTO_Peters says:
@::She taps her commbadge.::  XO:  Ma'am you need to see this... the room is clear as far as I can tell, please proceed with caution..

Host SM_Sergio says:
