Mission Summary
The search continues for any clues that may be around indicating where the away team and the crew of the Vimy Ridge were located. The mute Vulcan Pete offered a crucial piece of data, however: his leader, who was from behind the gateway, is someone who is quite well-known to most of the Huron crew… meanwhile, from the other side of the gateway, the away team continues to try to return – though the governing body seems more interested in schmoozing than helping…
Pete is allowed back to the Vimy Ridge, where he has a device that can open a tunnel through to the other side of the gateway… and activates it… enabling the Huron to send a rescue party through.
But shortly after they arrive, guerrilla fighters of the Argan nation launch an attack on the Main Hall, endangering everyone present. In a most deadly fight, the away team manages to fend off the fighters long enough to make it to the tunnel and through, back to their own realm.

CSO_Woo says:
@::takes a sip of some wonderful liquid, and nibbles on a piece of bread politely::

FCO_Roznine says:
::steps of the TL onto the bridge and walks down to his station::::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::finishes up his conversation with Pred and signals to Eric to step away from the table so that they can talk::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Returning to Bridge, making preparations for Away Team.::

OPS_Barnes says:
::sitting in the center chair, awaiting the captain's arrival::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge, trying her best to pick up on the XO::  CO:  Ma'am, there is still a void, I cannot sense the XO.

EO_Hansen says:
::stands at a console in ME, starting a diagnostic on the ship's tractor systems as per the Captain's suggestion::

CSO_Woo says:
@::looks up, and blinks several times; puts down his bread and stands up, with glass in hand, wondering what the XO's thinking::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:::;steps onto the Bridge and walks over to OPS::OPS: Report Ensign.

CSO_Woo says:
@Lord Oof: Excuse us, your majesty. ::smiles politely, and follows the XO::

OPS_Barnes says:
::steps up:: CO: She's just as you left her, Captain. ::smiles::

FCO_Roznine says:
::relieves his replacement and checks the ship's position::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::excuses himself from the table and walks over to talk with the CSO::

Host ACTDJamieO says:
@ACTION: Lord Oof nods

CIV_Vekh says:
@::on his provisional quarters on the VR, checking his duffel for stuff::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Keep trying Randi, I know you can find them.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Nods to Angeltra to keep at Tactical.::  OPS: What have you found out about the gateway you discovered?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Thank you Ensign

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  Eric, have you gotten any information from Lord Oof that might aid us in getting out of here?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I wish I could, but they are NOT in this universe or reality... if they were I could sense them. ::wishing she had better news::

OPS_Barnes says:
::nods to Captain, and walks back to OPS console:: CTO: Well, sir, Ens. Spencer and I believe that if we realign the transporters, we can beam through it.

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Round Trip I hope?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: What about Randy? Has he been of any help?

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Of course, sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO: No Ma’am, he is not telepathic, and right now, he is in my quarters as bewildered as we are.

FCO_Roznine says:
::listens to the conversation next to him, and waits to see if he has anything to add::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: ::shrugs:: You know what? The only thing I am certain of is that Lord Oof can directly control coming and going to this place.

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: When we go, I'm going to keep both an open Comm Channel and a Tricorder to broadcast what I see.  Might be good to scope it into my targeting scope as well, so you all can get a good view and know if something happens.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::satisfied, straps the duffel to shoulder and exits quarters::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: Like the First Minister said, he's looking for an heir - he's not... what's the word, mean spirited or anything - I think we should, well, just ask him to return us to our dimension. ::shrugs::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We may need him here soon.  I think when we go through the gateway, he should join us.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::takes her seat:: All: I need ideas on how to retrieve our people from this dimensional gateway. So if you have any thoughts, now is the time to express them.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  We just need him to control our getting out of here.  Pred seems a little too distracted to want to get out of here, so we might have to do this on our own.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I agree Tio, let me know and I will call him.

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: I'm not sure how the Communicator's transmissions will be affected by the dimensional shift, but I'll try, sir.

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: I'm assuming moving the Huron into the area containing the gateway is out of the question, Captain?

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: What did Captain Pred say about this situation, sir?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Retrieval Mission.  If Ensign Barnes is right, all we'll need to do is find them and bring them to our entry point so we can beam them out.

Host Pete says:
::Exits Turbolift and enters the Bridge::

CTO_Ayidee says:
<Security>  ::Flanks Pete on arrival.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: I don't want to endanger the ship Lt. We have to stay clear in case there is any gravitational pull.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Engineering has prepared transport signal enhancers for the away team... they should aid us in bringing EVERYONE back.

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: CO: I anticipated that, Captain... I was thinking as extreme last resort, and only then if we can't do anything.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Excellent. Work with Tio on trying to smooth out the wrinkles.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  They have a faction of Marines looking for some traitors.  He seems willing to join these people in their civil war.  I'm not comfortable with that.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye, ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: How do we find them Tio?

Host Pete says:
~~~CNS: I need to find the Col. he may be in trouble~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi shakes her head and turns to see who just spoke to her mentally::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: I'm not sure, as I don't know where they are.  For now I'm thinking I head through with a small team, perhaps just myself and Randy, and go from there.

FCO_Roznine says:
::watches the ship's position, and looks at the scientific data::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Pete:  Who are you and what colonel?~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Captain, with your permission.... I would like to attempt a modification to the Away Team's comm badges. It might help us to maintain an open channel.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::after roaming the whole area, Vekh returns to the dinning area where he saw the XO and CSO earlier:: Self: there ::spots both officers and moves in::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: Are you serious? Does he not realize that... ::spots someone coming towards them::

Host Pete says:
::Displays an Image of despair, being orphaned because of his disabilities to the CNS, and of the Marines who found him and took him in as a teenager::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::looks in the direction Eric turned to::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Pete:  I see... you are unable to speak verbally.  What would you like me to do?~~~

Host Pete says:
~~~CNS: The Col and his crew went after the Mercenaries. They were trying to prevent a war.....a war that we do not have the right to be in~~~

CIV_Vekh says:
@::noticing they've spotted him as well:: XO/CSO: Greetings.

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Pete:  Is the Captain aware of this?~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Good plan, but can you do the same with Tricorder signals so you can see what we see?  Perhaps it may even be easier.

OPS_Barnes says:
::thinks for a moment, then nods:: CTO: It's the same basic concept, I believe it would be possible.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CIV:  We're you able to obtain any information on getting us out of here?

Host Pete says:
::Broadcasts an image of the Col agreeing to do Lord Oof's footwork to the CO and CNS::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Tio, prepare you team. We need to move on this.

CSO_Woo says:
@CIV: Commander. ::bows head slightly::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Did you get that last message from Pete?

FCO_Roznine says:
::CO: Captain, am I to keep the ship in position, no matter what?

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands up:: CO: Permission to leave the bridge, Captain? I would like to get working on modifications to the Away Team's equipment.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye ma'am, how many should I take though?  Randy has to go so he can return where he came from, but should I take further backup or limit our risk and just the two of us?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: No matter what.

Host Pete says:
~~~CNS: I need my unit.....it should have the data you need~~~

CIV_Vekh says:
@::takes off a PADD and passes it to the XO:: XO: sir, here are my orders. Regarding our escape from here, I'm sorry to inform that I seemingly was unable to find much anything of use to our predicament

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: I leave it to your discretion Tio. I trust your choices in this.

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::starts tapping in sequences into his console::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Pete:  What unit?~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Yes counselor, I received it.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::takes the Padd and reviews it quickly::  CIV:  I was afraid of that.  Wish you could have had a better reception.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::formally introduces himself to the CSO, whom he had only seen briefly earlier:: CSO: Please to meet you, Mr. Woo. Cmdr. Drayan Vekh, formerly on the USS Europa ::offers hand::

Host Pete says:
::Shows the CNS a picture of a display device capable of doing great things. one that he built himself and is very proud of::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Permission granted Ensign.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Thinks for a second.::  CNS/ Pete/ *Randy*: Prepare for Away Team Duty, we go as soon as Ensign Barnes finishes his preparations.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Thank you, ma'am. ::walks to back of bridge:: CTO: How many special tricorders / comm badges should I prepare, sir?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to think where she saw what Pete is describing to her;:

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO: Me too ::sighs:: Any ideas now. sir?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Roz, keep an ear out for any comm signals will you?

CSO_Woo says:
@::takes CIV's hand, smiles broadly:: Pleased to meet you, sir.

CTO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Four, myself, the Counselor, her Alternate counterpart, and our Marine guest.

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, Captain... I'm perking ears as we speak. ::sets up a subroutine to check for comm signals of any kind::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I remember where I saw what Pete is describing, it was in the only crew quarters I visited.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO/CIV:  Well, Eric has suggested just asking Lord Oof to return us.  Perhaps that might work.

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Aye sir, I'll get to work on it right away... should only take five minutes or so. :: heads for the TL, and enters it::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO,CIV: He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would bear a grudge or anything of the sort - I don't think it would be a diplomatic gaffe just to ask him.

CIV_Vekh says:
@CSO: no need for the 'sir', Drayan would do nicely for me

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*EO*: Engineering I need someone up here now to monitor engineering from the bridge.

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Science Lab One. ::feels TL slide downward::

CSO_Woo says:
@CIV: ::smiles:: Drayan it is, thank you.

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO/CSO: Maybe the straighter approach to this is the better

EO_Hansen says:
::blinks as she hears the comm from the bridge::  *CO*:  I'm on my way, Captain.

OPS_Barnes says:
:: exits TL, and enters the lab::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  Well Eric, you've gotten to know Lord Oof a bit.  He might be more comfortable with you talking to him.  If he agrees, I will try to convince Pred and the others to come with us.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::clears her throat and says again:: CO:  Ma’am, I remember where I saw what Pete is describing, it was in the only crew quarters I visited.

CSO_Woo says:
@::takes a sip from his beverage:: XO,CIV: In that case, perhaps we should return to the table, lest Oof and his ministers become offended by our absence.

EO_Hansen says:
::finishes what she's doing at that very moment and walks out of engineering, heading for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Are you sure Randi?

OPS_Barnes says:
:: walks over to the replicator console:: Computer: Pull up schematics on standard-issue Communicator Badge and Tricorder.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO: Yes Ma’am... he gave me a clear picture of it.
Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Can you add anything to what he said?

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO: Mr. Woo may be right on that point sir

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO/CIV:  Agreed.  ::heads back toward the table::

EO_Hansen says:
::directs the TL to the bridge and waits for it to stop::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, I can scan him deeper if you want... but he says he needs it to find a Col someone.

CSO_Woo says:
@::walks back to his seat, smiling to each of the Ministers as he steps around and sits down::

OPS_Barnes says:
::watches as schematics come up:: Computer: Adjust subspace transmitter frequency to this modulation. ::enters number with the keypad::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: What is it that Pete is describing?  Is it important, or can it wait until we get back from the trip through the gateway?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Try and get a name Randi. It could be crucial to us.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::orders an Aldebaran whisky from a passing waiter, on his way to the table:: Self: at least we get to drink some stuff

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Pete:  What is this person's name?~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@CIV:  Other than the people that are in here, see if there's anymore wandering about.  If we get out of here, I want as many of them with us.

EO_Hansen says:
::steps off the TL and onto the bridge and moves over to the engineering station::

Host Pete says:
~~~CNS: Coonan~~~

CIV_Vekh says:
@::works his way diplomatically among the minister and authorities present, as he makes his way to the table::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Ma’am, he says it is Coonan.

CSO_Woo says:
@::takes another sip of his beverage:: Oof: Your majesty, this beverage is absolutely Wonderful! ::smiles:: What is this concoction?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::eyes widen:: CNS: Coonan?

OPS_Barnes says:
::watches changes being completed on-screen:: Computer: Okay, now replicate four of each of those. Save diagrams as Barnes-1 and Barnes-2, respectively. ::Computer chirps affirmatively, and four tricorders and comm badges appear in the tray::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Braces as the name brings up memories, hoping it's a coincidence.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Yes Ma’am, his group was after mercenaries that got involved in a war we shouldn't be in.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CTO*: Barnes to Commander Ayidee. The replication is complete, sir.

Host Pete says:
<Oof> @CSO: Why it is Boonberry wine of course!  80-year-old vintage. the best harvest!

Host XO_Knight says:
@::looks over and grins at Eric::  ~~~CSO:  Good luck Eric.~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: Understood, send them to Transporter Room 1.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CTO*: I'll meet you there, sir. Barnes out.

FCO_Roznine says:
::checks the distance between the ships, and makes a minor adjustment::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::turns to Tio::CTO: Does that name ring a bell Tio?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: We're ready to head over, myself, the Counselor, Pete, and Randy.

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: A group of Marines appear in the hall, they have several prisoners with them

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CNS: Thank you for getting that information.

EO_Hansen says:
::sits silently on the bridge, continuing her work from there::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CO:  Your welcome Ma’am ::standing and then moving to Tio's side::

CSO_Woo says:
@Oof: Heavens, you have seemingly developed the most lavish and pleasurable society possible on this world of yours! And your technology is simply so much more advanced than I have ever seen before! ::smiles::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye ma'am, and I hope it's a coincidence.  If he has been tracking the last guy he was after when I saw him, it could be dangerous.

OPS_Barnes says:
::puts the equipment in a carrying case, locks it up, and exits the lab, reentering the TL:: Computer: Transporter Room 1. ::feels TL begin to move::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Good luck Commander, and be careful.

CTO_Ayidee says:
*Randy*:  Meet us in Transporter Room one, please.  We're heading through.

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks over at the Captain, and gives her an encouraging smile::

CNS-McIntyre says:
<Randy> *CTO*  Understood Commander, on my way.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: What of this device?  Should we head to the Vimy Ridge to recover it first?

OPS_Barnes says:
::feels the TL stop, and walks out, down the hall a little bit, and into the Transporter room::

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the leader of the Marines walks up to Lord Oof

CSO_Woo says:
@Oof: For example, I am really curious about how you - ::looks up and suddenly sees a Marine next to them::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::nods at the commander:: XO: immediately, sir ::takes his drink and casually walks around, trying to assess their situation and that of the non Argans around::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::turns toward Oof as he watches the Marine approach::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Do what you have to Tio but don't waste too much time, the crew is the first priority.

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the Marine sees the Starfleet Officers and nods::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye.  ::Turns and heads for the TL, motioning Pete to join them.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Pete said he needed the devise to help find Coonan.

OPS_Barnes says:
TR Chief: Would you mind if I handled this beamdown, sir?

CIV_Vekh says:
@::from his vantage point, keeps an eye on what's going on between the CSO, Lord Off and now the approaching Marine person::

CSO_Woo says:
@Marine Leader: Sir. ::bows his head::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Then we get it, should only take a minute.

OPS_Barnes says:
<TR Chief> ::smiles:: OPS: Not at all, Ensign. ::steps back from controls, and motions OPS to them::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Aye Sir ::patting her hidden weapons cache::

CTO_Ayidee says:
TL: Transporter Room one.  ::Waits as the TL heads down.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::stands up and acknowledges the Marine::  Marine:  Can you give me any useful information here?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Remember Roz, keep an eye on the away team's signal.

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands behind the transporter controls, as the TR Chief leaves::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO:Aye, Captain. ::watches transporter control:: Chris is ready to beam the team over.

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Roz:  I will try to keep my mind open to you, in case we disappear Roz.~~~

Host Pete1 says:
@ACTION: the Col and Lord Oof disappear

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: Ensign, watch the power readings closely. We may have to pull the others out in a hurry.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Enters Transporter Room, grabbing a Phaser Rifle from the locker, linking the targeting scanner to the Tricorder received from OPS.::  OPS: We're heading to the Vimy Ridge to pick up an item, then beam us back and straight through the Gateway, please.

EO_Hansen says:
CO:  Yes, ma'am.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Understood. I'll listen REAL big~~~. ::gives her a mental smile::

CSO_Woo says:
@::jerks forward:: XO: Sir! ::looks for his tricorder::

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Understood, sir.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO/CIV:  Oh great, now where'd they go?!  ::pulls out his tricorder::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Watches Randy enter, grab a Phaser, and the team climbs on the Pads.::  OPS: Energize.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stands and begins to walk around the command deck::

OPS_Barnes says:
::moves hands up the triple bars, and back down again::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::nearly jumps as he sees the Lord and Colonel vanishing. Returns to where CSO was talking to them::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::feels the transporter take hold::

EO_Hansen says:
::glances up, watching the Captain walking around::

CSO_Woo says:
@::stands up::

FCO_Roznine says:
::glances up as the Captain starts pacing the bridge and looks back at his console::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  And here I thought we were actually going to get somewhere.

OPS_Barnes says:
<AOPS> CO: Away team is now on board the Vimy Ridge, ma'am.

CTO_Ayidee says:
%::Materializes on the Vimy Ridge, in the Quarters where the device is supposed to be.::

CSO_Woo says:
@::looks at the other Ministers for answers::

CNS-McIntyre says:
%::materializes on the VR::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::taking readings with his tricorder::

Host Pete says:
%::sees his device and grabs it::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stops at the engineering station as she steps up:: AOPS: Acknowledged.

CNS-McIntyre says:
%CTO:  There it is.  ::pointing to the devise on the table::

Host Pete says:
%::begins to enter a series of equations in rapid succession and hands the device to the CTO::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: Everything alright here? :;smiles::

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the Ministers simply nod::

CNS-McIntyre says:
%::watches in fascination as Pete works the devise::

CTO_Ayidee says:
%Pete:  How do I use it?  Perhaps Randi should use it so you can communicate how it works to her?

EO_Hansen says:
::turns her attention back to her console, not expecting this::  CO:  Um ... yes, ma'am.

CSO_Woo says:
@Ministers: Where did Lord Oof go? We must try to track him immediately.

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO/CSO: nothing showing up on my tricorder. You?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: By the way, where is the chief Ensign?

CNS-McIntyre says:
%~~~Pete:  I will be happy to help you if you wish it.~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@CIV:  Not a thing.  But that's been the norm here.

CSO_Woo says:
@CIV: Do not bother, sir - this entire dimension defies reality. ::shrugs::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::is rather annoyed at the lack of surprise by the minister:: XO: I'm not liking this ::whispers, meaning the ministers lack of reaction::

CTO_Ayidee says:
%AT: Are we ready to head through the Gateway?

EO_Hansen says:
CO:  I don't know, ma'am.

Host Pete says:
%::Pushes a button, and watches as a tunnel appears.  a timer appears on the device. the Timer reads 15:00, 14:59....::

Host Pete says:
%::walks through the tunnel::

CSO_Woo says:
@::checks to see that his tricorder is still recording all readings constantly::

CNS-McIntyre says:
%CTO:  I think he has a different idea Tio.

CNS-McIntyre says:
%::follow Pete::  CTO:  Hurry up Sir!

Host XO_Knight says:
@CIV:  I've been frustrated the majority of the time we've been here.  If any of these people know anything, they don't share it.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::brushes her hair from her face::EO: Have him report to me at 0600 hrs tomorrow.

EO_Hansen says:
CO:  I'll leave a message for him, ma'am.

CSO_Woo says:
@Ministers: Answer! Your leader has gone missing!

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::moves away and back down to the FCO::FCO: Anything from the away team yet?

Host Pete says:
%::Grabs a phaser rifle just before he enters the Tunnel::

FCO_Roznine says:
::shakes his head:: CO: No Captain, not a peep. Shall I try and contact them?

CTO_Ayidee says:
%*CO/ OPS*: Pete's device seems to have opened the gateway.  We're heading through his tunnel.  ::Enters the tunnel, rifle raised.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::is shocked at the tone in Eric's voice::

CNS-McIntyre says:
%::seeing Pete grab a rifle, Randi pulls her phaser with her left hand, and picks up a rifle with her right::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Please do.

EO_Hansen says:
::goes back to watching the power readings::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Well, now we know... ::smiles wryly::

OPS_Barnes says:
::heads back into TL:: Computer: Bridge ::TL slides upward::

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO: Indeed ::sighs:: Well, definitely, we could make use of some Cardassian inquisitors here ::looks around thinking of ways out of this mess::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Let Tio know that we have received his message.

CNS-McIntyre says:
%~~~Roz:  Do you hear me?~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
#::Walking through tunnel.::  *Huron*: Can you still hear us?

OPS_Barnes says:
::steps out onto the bridge, and assumes his station again::

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: *CTO*: Understood, Commander. We're still hearing you.

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~CNS: Faintly... but yes. I don't know how or why, but so far...~~~

CSO_Woo says:
@XO, CIV: How can Oof's ministers just sit there? Now I know what he meant by not trusting anyone in his kingdom to be his heir...

CTO_Ayidee says:
%*FCO*: Can you receive the Tricorder Transmission?  Can you see what's happening here?

OPS_Barnes says:
::nods to FCO::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  I know it's frustrating Eric, but we have to focus on just getting ourselves out of here.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::walks to the exact point where the Marine and Lord Oof were before disappearing and take some more readings::

OPS_Barnes says:
FCO/CO: I can put the telemetry on screen, if you would like.

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks over at Chris:: OPS: Its looking good so far. Communications and telemetry are stable.

Host Pete1 says:
ACTION: The Away Team enters the Great Hall. Ornate furnishings are all around

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::nods:: OPS: Do it!

FCO_Roznine says:
*CTO*: We're getting the telemetry now, sir.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@CNS: Can you sense Commander's Knight or Woo yet?

OPS_Barnes says:
::pushes a few buttons, as a shaky image comes up on screen::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::sees the XO::  ~~~XO:  Am I glad to see you!~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
@*XO/ CSO*: Sirs, are you here?

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~CNS:  Thank god you are okay!~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CTO:  There they are Tio, over there ::pointing::

Host XO_Knight says:
@*CTO*:  Tio!  Yes we are here.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;stares at the image::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Lowers rifle, slowly, moving towards the XO and CSO quickly.::

CSO_Woo says:
@*CTO* Tio, how did you get here?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~XO:  We aren't the ones that have been lost Sir, you are!~~~  ::grinning mentally::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::notices the change in the XO's mood:: XO: you getting anything sir?

Host XO_Knight says:
@CIV:  We have other crewmembers from the Huron here.

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~CNS:  I have one thing to say......What took you so long?!!~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::Randi runs over to the XO and hugs him, then backs up red faced::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Arrives at the XO and CSO's location.::  CSO: Pete here had a device, and Ensign Barnes had one as well.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sorry Sir!

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Glad to see you as well Eric!

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO/OPS: Do we have them all located?

CTO_Ayidee says:
@*Huron*: We've found them, as you can probably see.

CIV_Vekh says:
@XO: that's excellent. If they got here, there should be a way to get back. Shall we get in touch with them immediately?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::puts both hands on Randi's shoulders::  CNS:  It's okay Randi, I missed you too.  ::grins::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: As soon as they active their transport signal enhancers, I will beam 'em up.

Host Pete1 says:
~~Sends a mental image to the CNS:: 10:00, 9:59....::~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@CTO:  Can these devices get us back?

CIV_Vekh says:
@::as he speaks, he spots a Caitian coming through the door on Starfleet uniform::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, we need to get out of here now... no telling how long the tunnel that Pete opened will stay that way!

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks at the images:: CO: Our crew, yes. The Vimy Ridge is another story.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Scratch that, we have 9 minutes to leave!

Host XO_Knight says:
@All:  But what about the others from the Vimy Ridge?  I really don't want to leave without them.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Be prepared to bring them home.

CIV_Vekh says:
@All: you can count on me

CTO_Ayidee says:
@XO: It can, but I'm not sure how...9 minutes?  We should move.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@ALL: Sirs, this is not the time for debate... we have to get a move on.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@XO: All these people are from the 'Ridge?  Let's move them, if Pete's tunnel closes, we have Ensign Barnes plan as a backup.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Are you getting any pull from the gateway?

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: We have somewhat of a lock now.... but I don't feel confident with it. The enhancers should boost it somewhat.

Host Pete1 says:
@ACTION: a group of armed Guerillas enters the grand hall and begins to open fire

CSO_Woo says:
@All: We have to try to bring the Vimy Ridge crew over if it is possible.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::ducks for cover behind the bar::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Negative so far, but I'm ready for it.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Ducks and rolls, looking for a clear shot back.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::hears the weapons fire and dives at the XO, knocking him to the floor::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CTO:  Understood.  ::motions for all the personnel to head with them::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;sees the action on the screen:: OPS: Get them out of there now!

CSO_Woo says:
@::ducks and slides behind a pillar::

Host Pete1 says:
@ACTION: Half the Ministry is quickly cut down

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::pulling her weapon up, she looks for a target::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::ducks down behind a chair::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye, Captain! ::quickly pulls up transporter controls, and energizes::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::curses under his breath for not getting his phaser::

EO_Hansen says:
::blinks when she sees the firing going on and looks back down at her console, watching the power readings carefully::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Pulls his Type II and slides it to the XO.  Rises and fires at one of the shooters.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::follows Tio's look and fires in the same direction::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::crawling behind the bar, Vekh attempts to get around the guerrillas::

Host XO_Knight says:
::grabs the weapon on the floor and aims::

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: This isn't going to be easy... ::meticulously works the transporter controls::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Well Ensign?

CTO_Ayidee says:
@*CO*: Ma'am, can we get everyone?  If not pull us last!

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::turns and see two trying to sneak up on them and cuts them down with her phaser::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Working on it captain.... signal strength is around 20 percent...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*CTO*: Tio, you are coming out first. We'll try and get the others after, but I need my crew back now.

FCO_Roznine says:
OPS: Will going closer help?

CTO_Ayidee says:
@Vimy Ridge Crew:  Get into the tunnel!  We'll cover your exit, go!

CSO_Woo says:
@::notices the CIV moving around...::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::shakes her head::OPS: Just hurry.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CTO:  You and I will cover the rest's exit.  Then we'll head out.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CTO:  I think we are a tad outnumbered here...

CTO_Ayidee says:
@*CO*: If you leave the Vimy Ridge crew here, unarmed, their won't be an after to get them>  ::Continues to fire.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Roz, we have to get in closer.

CSO_Woo says:
@::looks around for a weapon of some sort:: Self: Damn these people for being so peaceful...

CIV_Vekh says:
@::grabs a couple bottles from the bar, aims and send them flying straight into a nearby gunmen:: Self: if there are no phaser around I shall improvise... ::grabs another two bottles::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@CNS: You have an extra weapon?  Commander Woo could use one.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I am not leaving without you and Tio... so ::fires at two trying to outflank them::

FCO_Roznine says:
::nods:: CO: You must've read my mind, Captain. ::taps a few controls:: Going closer... minimum distance?

OPS_Barnes says:
FCO: It might... I don't know, with this gate and all... but we certainly aren't going to get a good enough lock from here.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CTO:  Here ::pulls her phaser from her boot and tosses it to him::'

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: Redirect all power to the transporters.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Catches Phaser and throws it to the CSO.::  CSO: Catch!

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::sees one person moving in a crawl towards them and fires::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::raises from his hiding place behind the counter, and sends another two bottles flying the direction of the attackers, then ducks again::

EO_Hansen says:
CO:  Yes, ma'am.  ::taps on her console, sending as much power as she can to the transporter system::

CSO_Woo says:
@::reaches out for the phaser as it's in midair, after CTO throws it at him:: CTO: Thanks! ::quickly configures the phaser and crawls quickly away from the pillar and behind a counter::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Are they all in the tunnel yet?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::continues firing::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::hits the two that duck from flying bottles::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@AT: Wide angle stun, take 'em all out if we need to.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CTO:  Aye Sir ::adjusting the spread range on her phaser::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: I don't believe so, ma'am.

CSO_Woo says:
@::sees someone approaching from the side, near a row of pillars... fires, hitting a pillar before meeting his target::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::is about to thrown yet another bottle when notices it's Romulan Ale:: Self: oppsss, not you baby ::put the ale down and takes any other lesser beverage to throw::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: What distance shall I hold off, Captain?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::adjusts the range::

CSO_Woo says:
@::overhears the CTO and adjusts his phaser accordingly::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: What are we at now?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::Randi ducks but a piece of some flying debris hit her face, opening a gash on her cheek::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Watches as the last of the Vimy Ridge crew enters tunnel.::  AT: We're clear, lets go!

Host XO_Knight says:
@::crawls over to Randi::  CNS:  Randi, you okay?

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Close to 100kms Captain.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Backs towards the tunnel.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Hold us here.

CIV_Vekh says:
@::overhears the Caitian and crawls back toward the rest of the team, Romulan Ale tagging along::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: I'm reading the crew compliment of the Vimy Ridge now onboard, Captain. Don't know about our people though.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::reaches up to wipe away the blood, then hears Tio::  XO:  Yes Sir, lets get the h*ll out of here!

Host XO_Knight says:
@::grabs Randi, picks her up and heads to the tunnel::

CSO_Woo says:
@::holds phaser in front of him as he raises himself from behind the counter, and sprints toward the tunnel; sees Randi and the XO:: XO: Is she okay?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Lock on now and beam as many as you can to Cargo bay 2.

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Dives through the tunnel as the rest of the Away Team enters it.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  She says she's okay.  Hopefully it's just superficial.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::has the breath knocked out of her as the XO picks her up::

CIV_Vekh says:
@::jumps forward toward the tunnel as well:: Self: Geronimo!!

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::locks on to about 50, and teleports them into the CB::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: She'd say she was okay if she lost three of her limbs... There! ::enters the tunnel quickly::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Got our people yet?

Host Pete1 says:
@ACTION: the Crew watches as Pred is decapitated by a Swordsman

Host XO_Knight says:
@::grins quickly::  CSO:  That's our Randi!  ::enters the tunnel::

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Commander, what is going on?~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Fires at the Swordsman, cursing himself for letting him get behind him.::

Host Pete1 says:
@::Runs in behind the crew, dragging an injured Coonan, followed by his comrades::

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~FCO:  I'd feel better once we were our of here.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::paces a bit worried about her crew::

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: Armed guards are blocking the entrance to the Gate

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Understood sir, but we're getting a bit frantic here. Are you back on the Vimy Ridge yet?~~~

EO_Hansen says:
::watches the Captain pace, shifting slightly in her chair::

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~FCO:  Not just yet.  We've got one more obstacle to overcome.~~~

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Understood, sir. Tell Tio to activate the transport enhancers.~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~XO:  Sir, there is a problem back there.~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@::heads toward the Gate, firing as he goes::

Host Pete says:
@::Clinches his teeth and throws a concussion grenade, throws Knight and McIntyre to the ground::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: I want our people back!

Host XO_Knight says:
@CTO:  Tio, activate the transport enhancers.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::really can't breath now and passes out::

FCO_Roznine says:
OPS/CO: I got the message through for Tio to activate the enhancers.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Working on it... signal is still too weak to even lock on....

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: a blast erupts in the great hall, as the Marines and several Starfleet Officers defensively flank the Away Team

Host XO_Knight says:
@::falls to the ground, cushioning Randi's fall::

OPS_Barnes says:
FCO: That'll do the trick!

FCO_Roznine says:
OPS: I thought so. ::smiles crookedly::

CSO_Woo says:
@::runs toward the XO and Randi:: XO, CNS: Come, come, are you alright?

OPS_Barnes says:
CO/FCO: Still no improvement in signal strength...

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the crew notices some instability inside the tunnel, they must complete the transition

Host XO_Knight says:
@::picks Randi up::  CSO:  Looks like she's passed out.  We're right behind you.

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: Let's hurry - the tunnel is going to collapse any moment now...

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Sir, are you on the Vimy Ridge yet?~~~

CIV_Vekh says:
@::as he's not armed, helps out carrying the CNS through the tunnel::

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the Marines take a cover position on the Away Team, and provide a rear guard for their escape

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~FCO:  Almost there Dylan.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
EO: What is the energy reading on that tunnel?

CSO_Woo says:
@::turns around briefly to see if there are any guerillas behind them::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Continues through the tunnel, firing from the back to keep everyone moving.  Activates Transporter enhancers, hoping they can get everyone.::

OPS_Barnes says:
::pushes a slight  feeling of panic out of his mind, and continues to monitor signal strength::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Commander Knight reports they are almost back on the Vimy Ridge. They are in the tunnel created by Pete.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::stands behind OPS::OPS: Chris, c'mon, give it all you have.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  Eric, I need you to cover me.  I've got to get Randi back for some medical attention.

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: Outer Space can be seen though the walls of the tunnel, which is Collapsing from the Argan end

CIV_Vekh says:
@Self: ouch...must be over 100 pounds ::nonetheless tries to keep dragging the CNS through::

CTO_Ayidee says:
@CSO: What would a Maximum setting Explosive Phaser blast do to this kind of tunnel?  Could we get...oh no.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: About time.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Signal strength now 60%... energizing now!

CTO_Ayidee says:
@All:  Run!  Move fast!

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: Hey, I've got your back. ::smiles:: Go, go! ::stays behind the XO, and tries to see anyone::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
FCO: Be prepared to back us off as soon as Chris has everyone back on board.

CSO_Woo says:
@CTO: The tunnel's going to collapse at any moment, the phaser blast would most likely destabilize the entire structure...

Host Pete says:
@ACTION: the Team is locked onto and is pulled onto the Huron Transporter Pad

Host XO_Knight says:
@::smiles::  CSO:  Thanks Eric.  ::runs::

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: They're aboard, Captain!

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::smiles:: FCO: Go Roz!

CTO_Ayidee says:
@::Turns, sprinting ahead of the collapse, then gets picked up by the Transporter.::

CSO_Woo says:
@::feels sick as his vision blurs - then he finds himself in the transporter room::

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: We're leaving. ::turns the ship and moves out of range::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Materializes as his momentum carries him into the Transporter Room wall.::

CIV_Vekh says:
::materializes on the Huron's TR, with the CNS on his arms::

Host Pete says:
ACTION: SRS detects life signs on the Vimy Ridge. 156 of them

CSO_Woo says:
::gasps:: CTO: The Huron?

Host XO_Knight says:
::stops running as he notices he's on the Huron::  *CO*:  I need a medical team down here for Randi.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Picking up new life signs on the Vimy Ridge, Captain.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Stands, rubbing head.::  CSO: Looks like it.  *OPS*: What about the others, the Vimy Ridge crew?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*XO*: Understood Commander, and welcome home.

CSO_Woo says:
::activates his tricorder and scans Randi, while the medical team is coming::

Host XO_Knight says:
::walks down from the TR pad and gently lays Randi on the floor::

CIV_Vekh says:
::lays the CNS down on the TR floor and examines her over, looking for wounds::

FCO_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Welcome back, sir.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: I see the readings.

CSO_Woo says:
CIV: Slight concussion...  she's just unconscious... er, I think...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Get a med team to the transporter room on the double.

Host XO_Knight says:
~~~FCO:  Thanks Dylan.~~~

FCO_Roznine says:
CO: Captain, shall I return to our original holding position?

OPS_Barnes says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.  *Sickbay*: Bridge to Sickbay, medical teams to TR1 immediately!

CIV_Vekh says:
CSO: Hopefully, Mr. Woo ::rips off his uniform sleeve and places the cloth on CNS' forehead to stop the bleeding::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Grabs a Medical Kit from the TR Locker and hands it to the CIV and CSO.::

CSO_Woo says:
::pulls out a coagulant and a dermal regenerator::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::sits down in her chair and sighs:: All: Well done crew.

Host XO_Knight says:
::talks to Randi as she is tended to::

CIV_Vekh says:
::takes the med kit from the CTO:: CTO: thank you ::opens it and looks for a dermal regenerator::

FCO_Roznine says:
::taps some controls and leans back in his chair::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::hears a voice deep in her mind::

CSO_Woo says:
XO: It feels good to be back, sir.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Sits on the edge of the Pad, rubbing head and catching breath.::

Host XO_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  You're going to be okay Randi.~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
::smiles at Eric::  CSO:  You can say that again.
