Summary: The CO has ordered squads to deploy and attack the station from the inside.  With the comm. received from Blaloch it looks like the Tzenkethi have lost the keys to the institution and the inmates are in charge.
 
The Delphyne remains hard docked to the station, the docking seal is locked.  It will take a good amount of force to get that Excelsior loose from the station.
 
Ten of the forty crewmembers of the Del that had been taken by the station have been returned.  The genetic experimentations were horrible failures.  Doctor Mengele meets the Marque De Sade, with the results being as horrible as they sound.
 
The time has come to act.  The station is doing as it will, if it fixes the power problems with the Dominion ships.  This sector will be lost within the month.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Sixteen- “Changes”  The evil has stepped out of the  shadows....   Star date 10808.27

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: Setting charge 1

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::carbine up moves through the corridors setting the other surprises::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Curses out loud and smacks the board::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: continues to set explosive in areas where they will create the most damage with the least amount of charge::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Sgt.  Morales: Set the mines up. Have them arm once were of the ship

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: Warn the other teams we’ve set mines. They will arm once were off this behemoth

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Set up transporter inhibiters throughout the ship, but leave the cargo bays free.  We'll transport directly there and move the people out.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: Working on it Doctor

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::contacts the CSO and her team to tell her about the transporter inhibitors and the beam in locations on the ship::
 
Action: As Morales is setting the mines one of the maintenance bots that the CSO was attacked by forms out of the wall and attacks.  His attack sets off the mine Morales is holding.  The others in the squad are just stunned… but Morales is soup

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::turns his head slightly:: Outloud: Frack!!!

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:

Action: OPS hears moaning as he moves along the corridor with his squad, it sounds mostly human

Duty OPS says:
@ :: starts inputting the viruses::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::moves out towards their objective. Face and clothes covered in blood::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*CO*: We just lost Morales skipper. A thing came out of the wall and nailed him

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
::hears the sounds and locates it:: Squad: This way. :: heads in the direction of the sounds::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::curses:: CTO: Understood...we're just outside of our first destination.  Start detonating the rest of your charges.
 
Action: OPS rounds the corner to find one of his own department has been assimilated kinda.  A computer interface has been grafted into his head, but his brain is overloading

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*CO*: Aye Skipper. Stay frosty
 
OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees what has happened to one of his personal and takes his phaser and shoot him dead.:: Crewman: Sorry but this is the only way I know to end you pain.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::on the bridge working on getting another lock on the team and coordinating with teams in teh cargo bays::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: hears the explosions going off and sets his first charge off letting the timers do the rest.::
 
Action: CTO's charges go off sending debris flying, alarms sound throughout the station.  Maintenance bots begin to form from the walls

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Tries to get any readings from the station::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::stands and spots the bots, his men fall in beside:: ALL: Wast’em boys

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves with her team on the station towards the coordinates where they think the hostages are::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins firing short controlled burst at the bots moving forward in a fighting formation::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: orders his squad to start shooting the Bots as they come out::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::armed with a tri-corder and a phase rifle::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Sends the sappers and calls up a timer on the upper right hand corner of the TAC board::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::bursts into the first area where her people are being held and starts shooting at the equipment and bots that are conducting experiments on the numerous crew that are on the tables::
 
Action: The CTO and his squad are destroying the bots...at about the same rate they are forming from the walls

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Follows the reports from the others on the bridge::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Out loud: Don’t these frackers know how to die
 
Action: The first of OPS charges goes off.  A few seconds later the whole station shudders

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: 22

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@Self: Quite a report for the Captain when she gets back

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: tosses a couple of his EMP grenades down the hall toward the Bots::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins to move forward firing at the same time. Lets out a loud rebel yell::
 
Action: The COs squad is releasing the captives while the CO shoots the bots.  But is proving to be a hard task

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO*: Your slipping I have 25 so far.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Cheater

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::directs his team to fight towards the central computer core::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shooting as fast as she can:: CO_Team: Get those transporter enhancers up!
 
Action: As the EMP grenades detonate the bots dissolve back into the station and more are formed from other areas

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* No one told you that you couldn't use EMP grenades.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Lock onto our area and search for the transporter enhancers and beam them the crew directly to the cargo bay.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::pulls a photon grenade off his webbing and lobs it around a corner::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Grenades, now that’s just plain cheating

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::forces their way into their target area:: Team:  NOW NOW NOW...  ::shouts at her team as her and one other of her crewmates lay down cover fire against any resistance::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* : You can cheat if there are no rules.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::waits for the explosion::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Just don’t let anything happen to you. I don’t wanna come rescue your hairy butt

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: Aye, Captain

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: moves his team around  a corner and slides one of the explosives back down the corridor then takes cover and set it off::
 
Action: The deck under OPS and the CTO buckles up and then goes down.  The whole station jerkes as if it moved several feet.  The captives are transported out of the COs area.  The force of the shock even knocks people to the ground on the Del.  It buckles the door on the lab where the CO is causing a plasma leak in one end of the room.  Trapping her and her squad.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Out loud: What the hell!!!

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: You feel that?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Scans for the enhancers, beaming as she finds and locks onto each one::

CMO_Cmdr_House says:
@*XO*: We have the injured, they seem salvageable...that is if you quit shaking the ship while my staff is working

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins moving forward towards the computer core::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: grabs for something to help him stay up right then gets his squad moving back to the ship::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
@::steadies herself as she directs her group to start setting up their enhancers::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CMO*: I'll see what I can do, Doctor.  I'll even try and get you some more patients while I'm at it

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* What do you think I am having a hard time staying on my feet. I say we start back to the ship.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks and sees that they are trapped:: *XO*: We're going to have to transport out of here. ::coughs at the plasma leak and gestures for the first of her team to get into the transport enhancers:: The first set of the team is ready to transport.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Aye sounds good

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::motions his team forward towards the core::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: On it Captain ::enters a command to beam out the team::

Computer says:
@ XO: Radiation levels in areas containing the away teams are rising estimate fatal exposure in 20 minutes at current rate

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* Any word on how the Captain is doing?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Negative.
 
Action: The maintenance bots are more concerned with repair then the squads.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::growls softly:: Out loud: Not good. ::works the board hoping to get them all out fast::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::continues to advance::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO*: I say we meet up and check on her?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::starts to cough some more and orders the rest of the team to stand by for transport after the first leave::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*XO*: We have a group ready here for transport.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::stops and thinks for a minute:: *OPS*: You get to the Captain. I`m going for the Core

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at her chronometer:: *CTO/OPS/CSO*: We have to transport out of here.  All of you get back to the ship now.

Action: The transport of the CO's squad goes badly.  Half of them arrive in tact the other arrive some assembly required.  The CO didn’t transport at all, as if some sort of shielding had been activated either accidentally or on purpose

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: continues to set charges as they go:: *CTO*: And what do you plan on doing there?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::motions for the remaining people to get within the second enhanced area::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CSO*: On it Commander ::signals the TO at TAC 2 to handle that while she works on getting the Captain and her team off the station::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::looks at his team and lowers his head.::  *OPS*: Send these morons to hell
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am.
 
CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::grabs the last charges and sling them all down the corridor::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the rest of her team transport out but notices a weird light engulfed her when the transport was activated:: What the??

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CO*: Working on that now Captain. What is you current location?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::turns and faces his men:: ALL: Were done lets get the hell out of here

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*OPS*: Changed my mind. Last of the charges are set. On my way to the skippers last known position

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::taps the board:: TO_Elliot: Scan the ship for the Captain

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks around the room for another way out:: *OPS*: I'm fine...get back to the ship immediately.  I'll be there in a moment.

Computer says:
@XO: Radiation levels are continuing to rise

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: What’s the Skippers position?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::drags an ensign into the boundaries as they get the last one.::  *XO*: Last group ready for beam out!

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins jogging away from the Det charges::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*XO*: try the transport again...::coughs::...the radiation must have interfered on this end.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* : Roget same here. Team on way to ship. I will meet you there.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Smacks the console:: *CSO*: Beaming ::nods at Elliot::
 
CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Marines: get to the ship lads. Commander Twelk and I will get to the skipper
 
Action: The beaming of the CO fails again

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::feels her lungs burning::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: Captain, I'm having trouble locking onto you.  Trying again ::boosts the power and tries again::

Marine Sgt says:
CTO: Not on your Nelly boss. She`s our skipper to were going ::as a man they all nod::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stands in the middle of the enhancers waiting to transport::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
ALL: Lets boogey then boys

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: heads for the captain's location::
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the weird light again:: *XO*: Are the rest on board?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CTO*: Sending you her coordinates.  Trouble getting a good lock on her, still working on it

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::continues jogging ignoring the bots. Detonator in hand::
 
@Action: One of the Dominion fighters has launched.  It clears the hanger bay only by a few meters and explodes.  It seems those sabotaged crystals are working well and being used in many systems

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::notices the beep on his wrist PADD:: *XO*: got it. on our way now

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: Captain, can you move about a half meter away from your current position?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::stabs down on the detonator and waits for the 5 charges to go off::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: round a corner and sees the CTO:: CTO: You need any more charges?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::moves the enhancers a half meter away, coughing even harder as it was getting harder to breathe:: *XO*: try again.
 
Action: The CTOs charges go off shaking the corridor

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Nope but I might suggest ducking '

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: I've got most out.  Trying again, Ma'am ::fingers work the board as she tries again::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Damn I love explosives

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*XO*: Get everyone else on board the ship...including the CTO/OPS and their teams.

Computer says:
@XO: Radiation levels still rising, contamination of the ship through hull plating will begin in 5 minutes

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Let’s go get her

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
@::looks around the transport room and grabs a quick head count::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: squats near the floor:: CTO: I have a couple more if we need them.
 
Action: The pattern enhancers beam aboard the Del, but the CO remains.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: follows the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Lets a few Andorian curses fly:: *CTO*: There is radiation at the Captain’s location.  I'm still working on getting her out

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
@XO: My team has made it back.  I am on my way to the bridge! ::coughs::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@:: A beep from an engineer informs her that the enhancers are back on board, but no Captain::
 
Action: The comm. is still open to the CO she is hearing everything going on including the radiation warnings, not a pretty thought is it

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::moves towards the Captains position::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*CO*: Hang in there skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CTO*: McQueen, I got the enhancers, but no Captain.  *CO*: Captain, still working on this Ma'am ::tries every trick she has ever heard of::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: runs beside the CTO::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: Understood. Twelk and i will get her

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::orders the injured to be taken to sickbay as she, herself moves to the turbolift::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: We may need those charges after all

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Nods absently as she hears Tarrez-Hunter over the com::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::picks up the pace::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::hears the computer and sees that the enhancers are gone:: *XO*: Commander, listen to me very carefully.  I want you to beam the CTO and OPS on board...get all of our people and then blow the charges and leave.  You have less than 4 minutes before everyone on board that ship is radiated.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I kind of thought so that is why I keep a couple extra.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: I should know you better ::grins::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::moves onto the bridge and takes her station::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain.  Working on it

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Better pick up the pace

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Have the crew been moved to the ship's interior?  It will give us a few moments more.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Roger that :: breaks into a full run toward the captain's location::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::looks at his friend as they run:: OPS: I`m not leaving her. If the worst happens I won’t let her die alone

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::sprints to keep up with Twelk::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: You got that right we have been through too much to let her die alone.
 
CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS; So were agreed then

Computer says:
XO: Radiation has reached lethal levels, all exposed crew will require immediate treatment.  Contamination of the Delphyne has begun

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Agreed.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@CSO: Some have already been moved, you handle that.  I'm working on getting the Captain off that ::pauses and mutters, then speaks out loud again:: station

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the XO and begins the evac. of the crew back from the exterior of the ship::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: Boss if you need save the ship. Were not leaving her. Understand?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@*CTO*: Get to her.  I'll give you what time I can and no more

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::coughing as the plasma fills the room and slides to the floor where the air is a bit clearer, starts to feel the burning from the radiation. Hears the computer from the open comm. link:: *XO*: Abort that, Commander.  Do not waste any more time.  Beam the CTO and OPS directly to the bridge now...and leave.  That's an order, Commander.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*XO*: If you have to, leave us for it. I am not leaving her

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*Sickbay*:  Inoculate the crew in the quickest manner possible

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::adds some Deltan curses too:: *CO*: Aye Captain ::works the board:: *CTO*: Beaming you and Twelk now

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:

Action: OPS and the CTO are beamed directly to sickbay

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*XO* Not nooooow.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Makes a fist with her left hand, fingernails cutting into her palm:: *CO*: They're on board now Ma'am.  Trying one last time to beam you off K'Beth

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Permission to speak to the station?  Maybe we can get them to remember their humanity in their final moments.  They have to be dying as well.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::looks around sickbay tears streaming down his bloodied face. Raises his carbine and puts it to the CMO`s head:: *XO*: Beam me back or I’ll waste this fracker

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
@materializes in sick bay and heads for the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@CSO: Permission, Commander
 
Action: A huge explosion happens on the far side of the station.  Ripping the docking clamp loose and decompressing part of deck 10 sending the Del tumbling away

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::hears the XO comm. to McQueen and Twelk and nods with satisfaction:: *XO*: It's no use, Sika....now get my ship out of here before it blows along with this station.  I'm counting on you to get her home safely.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@Out loud: Krit! ::Slams her left fist on the console, leaving a smear of blood on it::
 
Action: 4 bodies float out of the damaged deck of the Del

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
COM: Station: Eight:  This is Commander Tarrez-Hunter.  Please I beg you to remember what it is like to be human.  What it is like to lose a friend and comrade. Return our CO to us.  Please.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: gets back up off the floor and continues to the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
@::tries hard to appeal to whatever may be left to their emotions::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::Stands straight:: *CO*: Understood Captain.  ::leaves the com open:: AFCO: You heard the Captain.  Get us out of here

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::slams against the bulkhead::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::fist pounds the bulk head::
 
Action: The systems on the station begin to overload.  A simple text message from the eight to the Del " you will not take us".

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::turns and heads for the bridge at a sprint::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
@::taps a command on her board and raises the shields:: Out loud: Shields are up.  Four crew unaccounted for.  Moving away from the station.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::starts to cough even harder as it is getting more and more difficult to draw a breath:: *XO*: Thank you, Sika.  I know she's in good hands.  Tell K'Vas that he owes me one. ::chuckles::
