=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10511.20 - "Who put that there? Part III"=/\=
ScotchMyst says:
The USS Elara Crew find themselves at a loss for explanations as they seem to actually BE back in the midst of Earth's second world war.  They still have all their individual memories of who they are and where they came from… but that's ALL they have from their own lives.
ScotchMyst says:
The only things they have in their possession are from the WW2 period… weapons, medical supplies uniforms everything.
ScotchMyst says:
Do they really have enough ammunition to defend their position until they can work out what's happened? Or is this the end for the illustrious crew of the USS Elara?  Watch and you shall see…

CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Tries to peek around the corner to see how many German soldiers are out there.::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::is somewhere::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Sollos’ gun has a bit more of a backslash than a phaser...
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CTO: There's about 10 soldiers in axis uniform attacking the house!
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::looks at the odd guns one last time and then heads to the table once more as the noises continue around her::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::hides behind a burned sofa::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: CTO: I need you to conduct a small experiment, get yourself upstairs at a window and lay down suppressing fire but make sure they get a look at you then report back there reaction when they see their first blue Klingon
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As Sollo looks out with his shoulder now badly bruised he sees that the German soldiers seem to concentrate their fire on his window.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: If they start yelling "ALIEN" then I guess that would be good? ::goes to the upstairs window and starts shooting::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CTO: Relatively
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Checks his gun and ammo clip, then rolls over from the wall to the open window and starts shooting with his rifle.::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 TO: help Starbuck out
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::grabs the file marked top secret and a round metal thing and runs back behind the sofa to the CEO::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
CO: Aye sir! ::pops his head out the window and empties his magazine in the direction of the advancing soldiers::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: looks through the paperwork on the table for anything helpful ::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::is setting up his gear he found on the field, something that looks like familiar engineering equipment and explosives::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::sits with her back to the sofa next to the CEO, smiles to him then hands him the 'metal thing to hold' as she opens the file on her knee::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the last bullet leaves the barrel of Sollo's Thompson SMG he suddenly feels like he's been hit in the head with a baseball bat.
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::still looks at the environment::
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::stumbles back and removes his helmet... stopping for a minute to admire the shiny new dent in it::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As he stops firing he drops to a knee to check whether he has actually hit something.::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As Sollo admires the mark where the bullet hit another one flies through the window and straight through his head.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::continues shooting and lights the lantern near him to make sure the enemy sees him... ::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::pulls out his rifle loading it and smiling to the CIV:: CIV: Better keep your head down Lieutenant. ::crawls to the window::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO/OPS: defend the doorway, buy us some time
TO_Ens_Sollo says:
::looks very surprised for half a second before falling to the floor and lying there motionless::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::grabs rifle and runs forward::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::He checks and reloads his weapon as he watches the TO fall down... blood gushing from the round hole in his head.::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::grabs the TO and yells:: All: MEDIC!!!
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::she suddenly gets a fright looking up over the sofa to Sollo, she leaps over the sofa and passing the CO tosses the 'top secret file to him':: CO: Timrok, Sir...
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: grabs the file and looks at it ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::stating:: CO: It's a weapon ::as she skids down on the floor next to the TO::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He looks at him, frozen by the sight:: All: A word of advice people, stay out of the open, we're as good as dead out there.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::aims out of the window and continues to fire::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: studies the file closely in a safe corner ::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::his sight drops down on the floor then sighs:: Self: Sollo...
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::continues defending the doorway and tries to avoid being shot himself::
ScotchMyst says:
Action: The CEO manages to take out three of the advancing Germans forcing the others to take cover.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::Checks the TO, she shakes her head:: CO: Captain... ::stands slowly facing him:: we're a man down sir... ::adding quietly :: Dead::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: OPS drops another two as they run for cover.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Pulling his courage together he grabs the Thompson from the TO and crawls over to the door. Once there he positions himself, that he can just see past the door post and pulls out a grenade. Pulling out the pin, he throws it out the door, onto the field in front of the door.:: All: FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: glances toward the dead TO for a second before returning to the file ::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the grenade explodes, shrapnel hits another two soldiers leaving three running for their lives.
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::As he watches the dirt come down, he sees the three soldiers run and without thought he opens fire.::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::is quite stunned by the barbaric affairs, she merely follows keeping herself as much cover as possible, looking to the CO as he gets the file:: CO: What do you make of the weapon? Do you recognize it? ::her voice gets higher at the end with the shock of the grenade exploding::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::relocates his position climbing up the stairs and getting a better view of the battlefield::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::closes Sollo's eyes and takes his goodbyes:: Self: Guess I was the only one that really cared
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::keeps firing at the Germans::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: This weapon doesn't belong here, this is way ahead of this time period
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::fires another few shots and starts to yell:: CO: Captain, we can't stay here for long, we need to move away from the enemy line or perhaps try to find some allied soldiers to assist us.
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: The Germans decide to stop shooting and keep their heads down.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CIV: burn this, burn all of the paperwork :: throws Pazoski the file ::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: find us a back way out of here
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Stops firing for a moment:: CO: Sir, we should go out there with a couple and have the rest fire at them continuously. Maybe we can flank them and catch then by surprise.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::takes his weapon and when trying to shoot back. Everyone ducks for cover... then goes to the rest of the group::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::catches the file with a nod::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
CO: Understood ::jumps over the stairs and goes into the back part of the house looking for another way out::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::glances at the map on the table noting what she can, and any points marked that seem more interesting to her::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::looks out the back window, seeing the other part of town and a small shop with a noticeable basement::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::quickly gathers the documents and begins feeding them to the fire, slowly blowing to rekindle what is left of it::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::walks back to the captain:: CO: Sir, I found a place where we can take cover, there is a small shop, about 150 meters west from our position. We can relocate there, using the cars and other objects on the road for cover.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CSO: negative, were not here to win a war
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the CIV Blows the paper slowly starts to turn black then bursts into flame.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 All: Just burn this place to the ground and we'll use the smoke to escape out the back
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks somewhat disappointed.:: CO: Aye sir. But I do hope that you will try to keep us alive. If these bastards stay alive, we WILL have to fight them again soon.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::without turning back adds the paper carefully to the fire:: CEO: The town has many road blocks we may be best without these clothes... There is a forest...
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: pulls his pistol :: CSO: if I can I will
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
CO: As you wish sir...::grabs a thicker chunk of paper, she stands and holds it to the sofa to set that alight once more::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 ::looks around for any fuel to add to the fire ::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
CO: Captain! It's hardly a time for a home cooked dinner don't you think?! ::is very nervous::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CEO: then that will do, take the CTO and secure our escape route
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Fires another couple of rounds at the hiding Germans.::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::nods to the CO and starts walking to the back calling out for the CTO:: CTO: Starbuck! - Starbuck! - Lieutenant where are you?!
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::is dragging the sofa, with flames on one side to the big table in the center of the room, continuing to ensure the bonfire will keep going for a duration::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CIV: see if you can find anything else to burn - I want the whole house up in flames
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Smoke starts filling the room, it’s getting harder to breathe and see
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::starts coughing::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::looks around:: CO: Sir! Time to move!
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
CO: Certainly sir, ::as she heads back into smoke coughing she gets the words out::  May we keep the map?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: ::wakes up from his trance:: Yes.. McKnight..
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: As far as I can see we can make it if we run fast and keep shooting.
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
CTO: Move, follow me, we need to secure out escape route. Get up and follow me. ::kneels next to the door getting ready to run across::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks surprised:: CO/OPS: What about the TO? We can't just leave him here... someone will have to help carry him out.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 OPS/CSO: continue suppressing until our escape route is secure
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::coughing and slightly charred she finds her way back towards the others::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the CEO looks out he sees all is quiet.
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::fallows the CEO through the smoke::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CIV: ok
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::continues firing at the Germans, knocking out a few more::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye sir. ::Focuses his sight onto the field in front of the house and the building across from theirs again, firing a couple of rounds every few moments.::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
CTO: Ok, cover me if you see any fire, I'll try to bust that door. When you see me wave that is all clear, you start moving the CO and the others to the shop. Ready?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CEO: Go!
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::starts sprinting across the road like there is no tomorrow, with his rifle in his back::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::not thinking about it, he keeps running straight into the door and busts it open like a cannonball continuing into the house some 5 meters::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
:As he notices the CEO running, he fires a little more and aims for the windows where he last saw the Germans.::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the CEO runs the three Germans spot the smoke and withdraw assuming that they had somehow hit something inside the house.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 OPS/CSO: Ok you two, get going out the back way :: fires a few shots from his pistol out of the window
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::gets back to the door of the shop and waves to the CTO:: CTO: All clear !!!
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::nods at the CO and heads for the back door::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::looks back and says in a loud voice then moves:: All: Move out!
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Nods, fires a few times, then goes over to the TO. Picking him up, he throws him over his shoulder and looks at the CO before leaving.:: CO: Good luck sir.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The flames start getting out of control
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CIV: Go go go
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: The crew leaving out the back door quickly find themselves in the relative safety of the forest.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::heads out the door ensuring the CO is with her, before she continues::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He starts running across the road, which is a lot more difficult with the TO dangling over his shoulder.:: TO: What did you have for lunch, friend?
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: follows Pazoski out ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::runs in the direction the others went::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::runs like hell::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
::waves to the CEO:: CEO: Clear! Move!
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: takes one last look at the burning house as he walks across to the shop ::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the last of the crew run clear of the house the fire spreads to a pair of butane gas canisters causing a hauntingly beautiful explosion.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::slows down and inhales preparing herself for what could be in the shop::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: walks into the middle of the shop :: All: gather round
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::waits for all the crew to enter the shop while covering them out the window with his rifle::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Arrives at the shop and drops to his knees. Sweat pouring from his head onto the ground. The clothing is too thick to let any of the other sweat go, thus making him feel like he run a marathon.:: Self: Got to... train... more.
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::does as the CO requests::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::moves back from the window to the CO::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CTO: did they get a look at you?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::gathers::
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: ::grumbles:: Well the certainly got a good view at the... Sollo...
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 CTO: but did they react to you, were they surprised?
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the crew gathers in the shop they find themselves once again bathed in a blinding light... when it subsides the crew find themselves back gathered on the bridge of the USS Elara in their own uniforms and with their own technology around them... Only one thing is different....
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
Self: What the?
CTO_LtJG_Starbuck says:
CO: Sorry sir... I do not know... they kept shooting so..
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Looks around:: All: Are we were I think we are?
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::looks surprised and confused::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: Where before there was a desolate planet devoid of life, there now was a beautiful blue, green planet, with a clean atmosphere and swarming with a highly advanced culture.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: looks around for the TO ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::she blinks and looks around, coughing once more and she glances back to the science console::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::accesses the OPS console and sensor arrays::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::is stunned::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::He puts the body of the TO down and starts to look at the viewscreen, displaying the green planet. His jaw just falls open, no sound coming from it.::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::starts scanning the planet::
ScotchMyst says:
ACTION: As the crew watches the viewscreen, it shimmers slightly and the image is replaced by that of a rather old looking humanoid male.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: Have Sollo's body beamed down to sickbay for processing
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
CO: Yes sir. ::accesses transporter systems and beams Sollo's body to sickbay after which he informs sickbay::
Dratsabasti says:
COM: Elara: All: Welcome to Albali friends.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: turns to the viewscreen ::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::steps away from the console and stands behind the CTO, watching the viewscreen::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::frowns as the communication channel opened itself::
CEO_Lt_McKnight says:
::goes to his engineering console to check the sensors::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::checks the communications systems::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Gets up on his feed and walks towards his console
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::diagnostics completed and revealed nothing out of the ordinary::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: continues looking at the viewscreen ::
Dratsabasti says:
::seems to be awaiting an answer::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::continues looking as well::
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
::receives results of the planet and transfers them to Science I station and the Captain's Chair::
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::coughs quietly, watching the CO, she moves around to stand closer to him, with a raised eyebrow curiously::
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: shakes himself:: COM: Drat.: Greetings....I am captain Timrok of the Federation Starship Elara
CIV_Lt_Pazoski says:
::slowly sits herself down in the Counselors chair as the CO speaks::
CSO_Ens_Nelson says:
::Just waits there, watching from the Captain to the viewscreen and back.::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Carter>*OPS*I thought you'd like to know. The TO is alive and has no injuries. However his life signs are unusually weak.
Dratsabasti says:
COM: CO: No doubt you will have questions Captain and be assured I will answer them in due course, You have proven yourselves worthy and I would like to invite you and your crew to the surface for a more thorough explanation.
CO_Capt_Timrok says:
 :: rubs his forehead :: 
OPS_Ens_Tar says:
*Dr Carter*: Alive doctor? He was dead when I beamed him to sickbay. I'll be down soon.
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Dr Carter>::wonders what an operations officer knows about medicine:: *OPS*very well
Dratsabasti says:
ACTION: The TO starts to recover and the CO remains confused. Will he accept this stranger's offer of hospitality? Find out next week....
