Mission Summary
	The away teams continue their trek into the woody areas of Meade, in search of the elusive weapons bunker. What was supposed to have been an innocent training exercise became a hazardous mission, when the teams discovered the presence of dangerous Mugato on this planet. They must now find a way to breach the dampening field shielding the compound, while making their way around the Mugato(s). Upon arrival through the dampening field, the away team quickly found themselves under fire, and must defend themselves. They are discovered; the ground warfare testing now commences.

Host Jamie_O says:
<<<<<BEGIN Mission>>>>>

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::pushes through another clump of bushes, getting small tears in her clothing::Self: Oooo I'd like to know who had this brilliant idea.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Cursing, she tries to make it through the brush back to the shuttle since she has already lost sight of the AT.  Maybe there she can pick up their position.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::takes a moment and scans the area with his tricorder::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Crouched low, working way around Mugato's position.  Listening carefully to surrounding noises.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, if we are quiet enough, we shouldn't disturb it.

CTO_Peters says:
%::Leading the way threw the bush::

CSO_Woo says:
%::tries to maneuver past all the branches and bushes, while scanning the area around them for signs of the Mugato:: Self: Sigh...

Host XO_Knight says:
@::nods his head::  CNS:  Let's hope we don't disturb it.

MO_Harek says:
@::looks around, trying to remember what the cure for  Mugato poison is::

FCO_Roznine says:
::lies on the sofa, reading some reports while Aurora lies next to him::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CTO: Any idea how much further?

CMO_Santiago says:
Self:  They were sooooooooooo anxious to get out and beat something up they forgot all about me..!!!  Now it will serve them right if someone got hurt...  then they will cry.

CTO_Peters says:
%CO: not really ma'am

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::keeps her tricorder trained in the Mugato's position::

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Looks like our only option is to go around.

Host Jamie_O says:
ALL: ACTION: Tricorder scans detect a Mugato mother and  her child emerging from the field

CSO_Woo says:
%::looks up from his tricorder:: All: Oh dear...

CTO_Peters says:
%CSO: What's wrong?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ XO: Aye, unless we want to risk a noisy battle.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Now what?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Uh oh, we have more company sir... 3 Mugato's now.

Host XO_Knight says:
@All:  Um, it looks like we have another problem.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Moves have branch out of her way.::

CSO_Woo says:
%CO, CTO: Well, it seems that our worst fears were confirmed... I've detected another two Mugatos...

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  I'm not willing to take the risk.  Are you?

CTO_Peters says:
%CSO: great....how far away?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::looks around wondering where Anita has gotten to::

FCO_Roznine says:
::throws the PADD onto the side table with a sigh of disgust:: Aurora: Wanna go see the station? Maybe go bug the Admiral? ::grins at the thought::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::turns her phaser to kill, taking no chances with the XO's life::

CSO_Woo says:
%::checks his tricorder again:: All: From the looks of it, they just emerged from the dampening field... ::frowns::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ XO: No sir, just pointing out that there is another, albeit less attractive, alternative.

CMO_Santiago says:
%Self:  The next poker game they are all toast... toast.. they will be paying for my next trip to Risa... Stomps through the next bush.::

CSO_Woo says:
%::looks off in the distance; but finds that there's nothing but shrubbery in his field of vision:: All: About 1.1 km... but we shouldn't have to cross their paths, they're approaching the other Mugato.

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Good.  Then it's agreed we take the less attractive route.

CTO_Peters says:
%CSO: so they are heading away from us them?

FCO_Roznine says:
::Aurora hops off the sofa and goes towards the door, seemingly excited at the idea:: Aurora: I'll take that as a yes then.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%All: Ok, we need options here. CTO: Well Ensign, this is your squad.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ ::Starts moving again, going even wider to miss the new Mugato's.::

CSO_Woo says:
%CTO: That appears to be so.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@MO:  Move as quietly as you can Guri... we don't need this kind of trouble.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Keep your scans on the Mugato's.  Make sure they haven't detected us or begin to follow us.

MO_Harek says:
@::begins scanning nearby plant life:: All:  I haven’t been able to detect a cure for the poison anywhere around here, but then again, al I know is I'm looking for a root

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I have been Sir... ::chuckling::

CTO_Peters says:
%CO: well, we shouldn't meet up with them, so we can still head towards the field...just hope the other team does the same.

CMO_Santiago says:
:%::exits the next bush only to find another to replace it.::

CSO_Woo says:
%CO: And what of Lt. Santiago? We must find her.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::begins following the TO, taking the time to be even more quiet::

FCO_Roznine says:
::pulls on his boots and walks out the door with Aurora next to him, heading for the nearest TL::

Host XO_Knight says:
@MO:  Well then doctor, we just better make sure we won't need one.  ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Agreed. CTO: So what do we do about the doctor?

CTO_Peters says:
%::Shakes her head:: CO: to tell you the truth I don't know

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Checks her tricorder again... :: Self:  Ok, another 200 meters.

FCO_Roznine says:
TL: Deck 12.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Breaks through another bush and finally sees the shuttle.:: Self: Finally!

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Tosses the useless tricorder on the ground.::

MO_Harek says:
@::thinks:: All: Mahko, that's what it is

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CTO: Someone has to go and search for her Ensign.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Aren't those things supposed to be trackers?

CSO_Woo says:
%CO, CTO: I should go - the rest should continue on.

CTO_Peters says:
%CO: are you volunteering?

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  I thought so.  I just don't know what they are up to.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::watching the Mugato's on the tricorder, hoping they stay where they are::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Tossing a branch aside she goes up to the door and opens it.  She enters the shuttle and goes straight to the console.. tapping it.:; CO/CSO: <w>  I'd like to thank you guys for leaving me behind.  I'm back at the shuttle if you want to know where I am...

Host XO_Knight says:
@MO:  Mahko?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%All: Well it looks like I just did didn't I? You continue on and I'll backtrack the CMO.

MO_Harek says:
@XO: The cure, it's called a Mahko root

CTO_Peters says:
%::Shakes her head and looks away::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ XO: In that case, we need to hide our tracks from it.  All we need is for it to track us and attack just as we reach the target.  If nothing else, wading deep in the stream will make us less visible.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::turns and heads back through the same way they just came::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  But Icky... if it is deep, I am in trouble.

CSO_Woo says:
%CTO: You heard the captain. Let's move on. ::raises his rifle again:: I think it would be prudent to raise the strength of our phasers at this point.

FCO_Roznine says:
::exits the TL and goes to the docking port, nodding at the security staff:: Aurora: Now stay close to me, and I'll find us a place to observe the promenade.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::hates to admit her height is so short::

Host XO_Knight says:
@MO:  Any detected here?  TO:  Let's head toward the water then.

CMO_Santiago says:
%*CO/CSO*:  Well when you want to answer me, let me know...  ::mutters::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CMO: Hey Doc, get tagged already?  Got a deck of cards.  Can you team me that 52 game?

CTO_Peters says:
%::Starts walking:: CSO: Agreed... Remind me why she came again?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::then she brightens with a thought::  XO:  Sir, can I get on your shoulders?

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Turns:; Bee: What are you doing here!?!?!  And no I didn't get tagged... They lost me!  Can you believe it?  They lost me!

MO_Harek says:
@XO: I haven’t been able to detecting anything, Sir

CSO_Woo says:
%CTO: Her function on this mission is to observe - make notes on performance. ::looks at his tricorder:: We should pick up the pace. ::does so::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Heads for the water, wading in chest deep.::  All: Watch your footing, the waters running fast.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Now it wouldn't be a true AT mission if you didn't get wet with the rest of us.  ::grins::  Besides, where it gets too deep, I'll gladly carry you.

CMO_Santiago says:
%Bee:  You want to play 52 pickup?

Host XO_Knight says:
@MO:  Well, we're heading towards water.  Maybe they grow better there.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::threads her way through the trees towards the shuttle:: Self: I just bet she's got a game set up with Bee at the shuttle. She'll fleece him for everything he owns.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::abruptly goes under the water::  XO:  Sir, is this deep enough?  ::comes up sputtering::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>: CMO: They left me to watch the Detroit.  Sure, although you still haven't taught me to play.

FCO_Roznine says:
::walks along the corridors towards the promenade, where he's sure there would be a shop or something to browse around:: Aurora: I think we're doing some shopping for you today.

CTO_Peters says:
%::Picks up the pace:: CSO: if you say so...she was getting in the way by making us all nervous...her and her little padd

MO_Harek says:
@::steps into the water and scans it:: TO: I hope there are no dangerous life forms in here

Host XO_Knight says:
@::let's out a soft laugh::  CNS:  C'mon Randi, hop on!

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Reaches over to help the CNS.::  CNS: Don't go in too deep, there is no need...I hope.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::wipes the water out of her eyes::  XO:  Sir, perhaps just holding onto your shoulder is better?

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Chuckles:: Bee:  Don't ever fall for that...  My good deed for the day...  52 pick up is throw a deck of cards on the ground and have you pick them up.

CSO_Woo says:
%CTO: You must develop greater confidence in yourself, ensign. There should be no reason for you to be nervous about her note-taking if you feel confident about yourself and your actions.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CMO: What's the fun in that?

FCO_Roznine says:
::Aurora trots along as Roz walks to a TL to get to the promenade level::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  If you're on my shoulders, you could also be scouting the area since you'll be up higher than the rest of us.

CMO_Santiago says:
%Bee:  Exactly...  ::Grins::

CTO_Peters says:
%::Continues on:: CSO: How can I feel confident if I don't even know if what I am doing is right?

CMO_Santiago says:
%Bee:  How about a good game of poker instead?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Excellent idea sir! ::reaches for his hand to help her up::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::picks up the pace and breaks into a run::Self: This is not my idea of a fun day.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::drops down to help Randi onto his shoulders::

CSO_Woo says:
%::slowly walks down an incline, deeper into the woods:: CTO: Trust your instincts, ensign. You have trained for years - you know what to do, even if you don't believe so. ::a branch drops, cutting Eric's forehead:: Self: Damn! ::rubs his head:: CTO: Am I bleeding?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::scrambles up on his shoulder and bring out her phaser with one hand, and her tricorder with the other::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO/ CNS: Just pick a point less deep in the water...unless you want to be the first target fired on.

MO_Harek says:
@XO: Now, don't hurt yourself, I wouldn't want to have to heal a back injury down here

Host Jamie_O says:
%ACTION: the CTO trips on a tree root and falls down, unconscious

FCO_Roznine says:
::exits on the promenade level after a short TL ride:: Aurora: So what do you think of my idea to do some shopping for you... and me of course. I need some new clothes.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@MO:  I don't weigh that much Guri!  ::huffs::

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Acknowledged....Thanks for the heads-up.

Host XO_Knight says:
@MO:  Nonsense doctor....I'm in excellent shape!

CSO_Woo says:
%CTO: Hey! Careful! ::reaches out to grab her as she trips and falls on the ground badly:: CTO: Ensign? Ensign Peters? ::scans her with his tricorder::

MO_Harek says:
@CNS: Sorry...that's not what I meant

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::finally spots the shuttle in the clearing under the netting:: All: Anita, you here? ::stops and tries to catch her breath::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I don't like this, though.  Harder to hear over the rushing water.  ::Continues moving towards the anticipated location of the camp.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  It looks like they are staying put.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  What's the location of our Mugato friends?  Have they moved at all?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>: CO: Hi Captain, you got tagged also?

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Hears a voice from outside the shuttle.  It would serve her right if she didn't answer.  Getting up she goes to the door.:;  CO:  Ahhh there you are Capt...  You guys lost me!

FCO_Roznine says:
::chuckles as Aurora agrees with him::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: No, I came back for the doctor.

CSO_Woo says:
%Self: Oh, dear... ::activates his communicator, using his tricorder to encode the signal:: *Bee* Medical emergency... lock onto the CTO and beam her to the runabout.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: That's good to hear, but they aren't who I'm most worried about.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, they are staying the same area... no movement towards us... yet.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CMO: I don't know what happened Anita, but I'm glad to see you're safe.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  You watch the front and I will watch the animals Icky... if that is ok with you?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>  ::Snaps to attention and locks onto Ensign Peters, beaming her back.::  *CSO*: Hold still, can't leave you alone out there.

CSO_Woo says:
%::worries that the dampening field may interfere with the transporter lock::

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Exactly.  I don't want the Mugato's to take our minds off other obstacles.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::hears Cmdr Woo's comm and nods at Bee.::  CO:  All I know is I turned and you guys were gone...  Let me find out what happened to Peters...  I may not be going anywhere..

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Or we can free up my tricorder to help you and let the MO keep a watch on them.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: Let me talk to the Commander.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: Sure thing, Runny.  I just wish we had some kind of info on our target's manpower.

FCO_Roznine says:
::slowly walks along the promenade:: Aurora: So what would you like? Toys, snacks, a pillow to sleep on? You name it, it’s yours.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CO: Aye ma'am, channel's open.

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Excellent idea.  I'm sure the doctor here can handle it.

CSO_Woo says:
%*Bee* Understood. ::looks around as he waits for Bee's response....  wonders about the Mugato...::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Well, I am not getting a good reading on the complex, like there is a dead zone, the last time I scanned that area.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%*CSO*: Eric, what's happened?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CNS: It's a blind run.  What fun.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::sees Ens Peters materialize and pulls out another tricorder and runs it over her.::

CSO_Woo says:
%*CO* We were walking down an incline when Ensign Peters slipped on a tree root, fell to the ground and became unconscious, ma'am.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  My thought exactly... I detest people jumping out of the void at me...

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: as the Rideau crew wades through the stream, they can see the Mugato female fighting with the Mugato male over food

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%*CSO*: Ok, she's here now. What about you?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@MO:  Can you keep your tricorder trained on the Mugato's while I help Icky?

FCO_Roznine says:
::gets the distinct impression from Aurora that all of them would be a good idea, and he chuckles:: Aurora: Just as well I'm a man of independent means. You must come to Iota Aurigae sometime... you'll love the beaches.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::frowns as she reads the data.::  CO:  She has a severe concussion... maybe some bleeding... this is not good.  ::Mutters::

MO_Harek says:
@CNS: Sure thing, ::scans for the Mugato bio signs and keeps a sensor lock::

CSO_Woo says:
%*CO* We can continue on, ma'am, though we are severely short on manpower, obviously.

CMO_Santiago says:
%CO:  Cranial swelling...  I'll need to relieve that.  She can't be left alone.

FCO_Roznine says:
::enters a shop specializing in pet goodies, and Aurora's mental smile at Roz becomes bigger::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Moves towards the sensor dead spot, getting nervous as we get nearer.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%*CSO*: I'm on my way back now Eric. Try and locate the other team if you can.

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Pulls out her medical kit.::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Turns:: CO:  Capt?

CSO_Woo says:
%*CO* Aye, captain. ::gestures to the security officers, and continues moving down the incline::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CO: I'll accompany you, Captain.  Replace the Chief, if I can.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::sensing a bit of nervousness from the TO::  TO:  Anything yet?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CMO: Anita, stay here with Miccy and Bee. I can't leave Eric out there alone.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Stops, holding hand up.::  All: Motion sensors ahead.

FCO_Roznine says:
::browses the shop with Aurora sniffing around the various displays, barking at Roz if she likes something... which he just adds to the goodies already in the basket he had slung over his arm::

CSO_Woo says:
%::tries to scan for the other away team... but it's increasingly difficult... continues forward::

CMO_Santiago says:
%CO:  I wasn't going anywhere and you guys be careful... I’m not there and we don't know where the other team is... if you guys get hurt it maybe a while before help comes.

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Can we swim under the water to avoid them?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::turns her tricorder in the direction that Icky is pointing::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: Very well, come along then. CMO: Take care of her please.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Examines the sensors, checking how deep the sensors read.::

CSO_Woo says:
%Security NPCs: We'll go to the bottom of this incline, and then we'll wait for the CO there.

OPS_Barnes says:
@:: Remembers swimming at the academy and shudders::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  As small as I am, do you think I can go under them?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: Let's go.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Sloppy, they are above water only.

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Suggestions?

MO_Harek says:
@TO: Or so we think?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: I'll go first, the rest of you cover me.  If it's clear, we come under two by two.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::heads back to where she left Eric on the run:: Bee: Hurry up, Eric may need help.

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  Acknowledged.

FCO_Roznine says:
::hauls a sleeping pillow towards the counter, then places the basket on the counter and starts to unpack:: Shop Assistant: I know it looks like I'm spoiling her... and I am. ::he smiles::

CSO_Woo says:
%::checks his tricorder, as he jumps a few feet to the bottom of the incline, and scans in the direction of the dampening field:: Self: Hmm.. increasing energy levels...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Holds breath, diving under water and swimming past the sensors.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I will stay with you Sir ::motioning the MO and OPS to go next::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::pulling out a laser scalpel she begins the procedure of reducing the pressure in Peters head::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Agreed.

MO_Harek says:
@XO: I hope the above waters sensors aren't a trap to make us go under water

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>  ::Follows the Captain.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@All:  Just wait until we get the go-ahead from Ec'Thel'lon.

OPS_Barnes says:
@XO: Yes sir. 

FCO_Roznine says:
::blinks a bit at the total of the goods he bought, but doesn't say a word as he pays with a smile:: Shop Assistant: Thanks... could you have this delivered to my quarters on the Huron?
TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Surfaces, sweeping around to make sure it's clear.  Signals "All clear" to the rest of the team.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, it is a go.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::breaks through the brush Bee in tow::Bee: I thought you security types were fast on your feet?

Host XO_Knight says:
@OPS/MO:  Okay, you're next.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::tugs at the bottom of his tunic:: MO: Shall we?

FCO_Roznine says:
<Shop Assistant> FCO: Of course, Lieutenant. Just give me your details, I'll make sure it gets there safe and sound.

MO_Harek says:
@OPS: Let's go.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::takes a deep breath and dives in::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Slowly the pressure begins to ease in the CTO's head.::  Self:  Ok now, start waking up...  CTO:  Miccy, I need you to wake up hon...  ::Gives her a hypo....  Still nothing.  Frowns::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CO: That was the Commander.  My brother and I were his brute force team.  Want me to lead?  Bulldoze a path?

MO_Harek says:
@::dives in just after ops::

CSO_Woo says:
%::wonders how far away the captain is... really wants to continue forward to investigate the energy increase... but decides it's an unnecessary risk::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO: Well I love water, but this is a little chilly, not like our last water experience ::chuckling::

FCO_Roznine says:
Shop Assistant: Thanks, I appreciate it. ::calls Aurora over and they exit the shop onto the promenade again::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: Go for it. Locate Commander Woo.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::swims as far as his lungs will take him, then surfaces near the TO::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Looks around, seeing if Tricorders work on this side of the sensors.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  I'll take water over large icicles any day!  ::grins::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Shall we?  They have surfaced.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> ::Pushes through the brush, trying to catch Commander Woo's group.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~XO:  And let's keep it that way!~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Let's do it.  ::takes a big inhale and goes under::

MO_Harek says:
@::pops up out of the water::

OPS_Barnes says:
@::gasps:: MO: Well, that wasn't so bad.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::pulls out her little padd as they go, making a note here and there::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::slips into the water from the XO's shoulders and begins to swim next to him::

CSO_Woo says:
%::frowns as he observes the other team disappearing from his sensors:: Self: Great...

MO_Harek says:
@OPS: For us maybe ::looks toward the final team members and they have disappeared under the water:;

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee:Well any sign of Commander Woo yet?

FCO_Roznine says:
::walks a few doors down and stops dead in his tracks as he sees something that he immediately has to own:: Aurora: Now THAT will make some eyes pop at the next party. ::chuckles to himself and Aurora barks at him again:: Yes, I know I'm terrible, but someone has to give the crew something to talk about.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::pops up out of the water next to Guri and Chris::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::Wishes for her equipment on the Huron.::

CSO_Woo says:
%::tries to look up the incline for signs of the Captain::

OPS_Barnes says:
@MO: Nothing to worry about, I'm sure they're accomplished swimmers. ::smiles::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::surfaces up next to the other AT members::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Looks back towards the sensors, wondering what would have happened if they were "seen".::

OPS_Barnes says:
@::turns around:: MO: See? ::smiles::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> CO: I think they are just ahead, Captain.  ::Not defining "just".::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::wipes the water away from his face::  TO:  Where to now?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: Now we reconnoiter, see what we are up against.  ::Scans the area, trying to get info on opponents makeup.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::shakes her head and makes another note::Self:Security needs a refresher.

FCO_Roznine says:
::quickly walks into the shop, and starts pulling clothes off the racks and shelves... guessing the sizes by eye. Aurora just sits near the door prudently out of the way of being trampled.::

CSO_Woo says:
%::getting annoyed... but they can't risk moving any further on the level ground and any closer towards the Mugato's, not with their away team size...::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, I am detecting no life signs on sensors...
MO:  Are the Mugatos staying where they were?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee> Self: Who does she think I am, the kitty?

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  My scans show nothing either.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: I think I hear water up ahead. Let's go.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I guess this dead zone or whatever it is, works the same way as scanning in.

CMO_Santiago says:
%CTO:  Ok Miccy, I need you to wake up, we can't leave yet.  We have to wait for the rest to come back.  ::Makes the young woman comfortable and sits back to begin the monitoring process.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::points::  All:  Looks like there's where we need to be heading.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>  ::Moves towards the water as quickly as he can.::

CSO_Woo says:
%::scans the area up ahead:: Self: Hmm... dampening field's just ahead...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I need to amend my last statement Sir, 20 lifesigns that direction:: pointing::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::tricorder begins to pick up lifesigns::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::finally spots Eric::CSO: Eric, wait up!

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@XO: We're rather outnumbered.  I'm picking up about 20, and no signs yet of the other team.  ::Suddenly realizes something.::  If we can see them, they can see us most likely.

CSO_Woo says:
%::looks behind him:: CO: Welcome back, captain. ::a bit annoyed by the time lost... but doesn't show it.::

MO_Harek says:
@::looks at tricorder:: CNS: I can't detect anything

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%Bee: We made it. Hook up with the rest of the security detail.

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: a shot lands just behind the CNS

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  If they are looking for us...

CSO_Woo says:
%CO, Bee: The perimeter of the dampening field is just up ahead, according to my tricorder.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Ducks into the water, aiming towards the compound.::

CMO_Santiago says:
%::One last look at Miccy she gets up and goes back to the console at the front of the shuttle.  She begins to a temp medical file on Miccy.  Every minute or so she turns and looks at the girl making sure she is still breathing.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::falls to the ground, dragging the XO with her::  XO:  I guess that answered that question!

Host XO_Knight says:
@TO:  And it looks as if they have!

OPS_Barnes says:
@::dives for cover::

FCO_Roznine says:
::finishes his purchases and walks out of the shop laden with bags:: Aurora: I'm thirsty all of a sudden... wanna grab something and then head back to the ship?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Ok, lead the way Commander.

MO_Harek says:
@All: Anyone hurt

OPS_Barnes says:
@::readies his phaser, setting it to heavy stun::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@MO:  I am ok, XO you all right?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ ::Resets Phaser to wide angle, firing towards the sentry tower.::

CSO_Woo says:
%::walks forward, scanning the area around him, next to the creek::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::rolls onto his stomach and begins crawling on the ground::  CNS:  I'm okay Randi.

OPS_Barnes says:
@MO: I'm okay here.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::fires towards the trees as the TO has the ground::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Any signs of the Mugato?

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the fire intensifies, blanketing the team, pinning them

OPS_Barnes says:
@All/Self: This doesn't look good....

CSO_Woo says:
%CO: We need to cross this river first in order to cross to the other side and past the dampening field...and the mugatos are preoccupied at the moment.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Self:  Great!

MO_Harek says:
@All: I guess a surprise attack is out of the question

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@ All: I'm going to dive under the water and try and flank...never mind.  ::ducking behind a rock in the river.::

FCO_Roznine says:
::spies a cafe across the promenade and makes his way there, Aurora sticking to his side. They sit down at one of the tables and he orders for them... a soda for him and a large bowl of water for Aurora.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Looks like we swim then.

CSO_Woo says:
%CO: Swim? ::frowns nervously::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::steps into the water:CSO: Coming?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Lobs a stun grenade towards the nearest group.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, ::pointing to the directions ahead::  There is the fire.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::sees another large rock::  CNS:  Can you make it over to that rock?

FCO_Roznine says:
::leans back in the chair:: Aurora: I could swear that girl thought I'm completely barmy. ::shrugs:: Her problem.

CSO_Woo says:
%::sighs:: CO: Yes, ma'am. ::steps into the water and starts to "paddle" through::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Not without you Sir...

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the grenade explodes. fire ceases momentarily

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie> ::Sneaks up behind Roz and covers his eyes.::  FCO:  Guess who?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::fires at the position on the left::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  I see it Randi.  Just get over to the rock, I'm right behind you.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::giggles at Eric's swimming stroke but continues across the stream::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Dives downstream during the lull, trying to flank the attacker.::

OPS_Barnes says:
@::resets phaser to wide angle and fires::

MO_Harek says:
@::repositions his med kit to get a better grip on his phaser::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::dog crawls to the rock::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: a large tree crashes down on the enemy position. Fire is silent

FCO_Roznine says:
::almost levitates off the chair:: Tessie: If you value your hands, Lt, you wouldn't do that to me! I recognized your voice, or you would have been draped across the next table.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::whispers:: XO: Hurry, while they have stopped firing!

OPS_Barnes says:
@::scans with his tricorder::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::looks back for Eric::CSO: You alright back there?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::gets to the rock and turns and sits up against it, phaser in hand::  CNS:  Did you see where the others went?

CSO_Woo says:
%CO: Yes, ma'am... don't worry about me... ::just a little bit further...::

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie> FCO:  Roz you are lucky I didn't drop kick you butt when I saw you.  I released you to quarters not socializing on the promenade.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@All: Move!  I don't want them to regroup...or wait for reinforcements.  Let's get further downstream, try and find our reinforcements.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I think Icky went underwater, and there are the MO and OPS there ::pointing to their positions::

OPS_Barnes says:
@::seeing the tree fall:: Self: THAT's gotta hurt...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::notices how cold the water is::CSO: Better hurry Eric, this water is really cold.

FCO_Roznine says:
::smiles sweetly:: Tessie: But Aurora needed some stuff.

CSO_Woo says:
%::climbs out of the water, and gasps for air...:: CO: Yeah... I'm not fond of swimming... ::pulls out his soaked tricorder and scans the region:: CO: We're past the dampening field... and I'm detecting weapons fire ahead!

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  I'm not sensing that anyone is injured, so that is a good sign.  ::motions for the MO/OPS to maintain their position::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: rustling can be heard as if the mercs are trying to flank the away team

FCO_Roznine says:
Tessie: Join us, and you can comment on my purchases as well...

CMO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Uh huh... blaming the dog who is more then well cared for and over fed..... want to try again...  ::Winks at Aurora.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::climbs up the bank::CSO: Let's keep moving.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@~~~CO:  Is that you coming out of the water?  If so, be quiet, we have drawn fire!~~~

MO_Harek says:
@::nods::

CSO_Woo says:
%CO: We must hurry... the away team may be in trouble. ::picks up the pace, while repositioning his phaser rifle::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%~~~CNS: Randi? Yes, we're coming.~~~

MO_Harek says:
@::hears some noise and turns pointing his phaser::

OPS_Barnes says:
@::ducks down again, hearing something in the bushes, then pulls out his tricorder and scans for targets::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::continues to watch the front for infiltrators::

Host Jamie_O says:
%ACTION: as the CSO and CO move towards the group, a lone rifleman brings his weapon to bear

Host XO_Knight says:
@::senses the other AT joining them::

FCO_Roznine says:
Tessie: She's not over fed... just well fleshed. Ok, so I would have gone insane if I had to sit there for longer than 5 minutes, as it is I only read half a report.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: I have Randi in my thoughts. They're close by.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Moves towards the rustling quickly, ready to jump the flankers.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Let the CO and CSO know to take cover immediately.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::resets phaser to level 3, wide-angle::

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie> FCO:  Oh you were trying to work to boot...  Obviously I have to use drastic measures.

CSO_Woo says:
%::continues moving, while checking his tricorder... and detects a life sign in the bush...:: CO: Careful, captain...! Someone's in the bush somewhere...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::senses a lone person mentally and locates him, turning she fires in his direction::

FCO_Roznine says:
::looks apprehensive:: Tessie: And that would be?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%~~~XO:Ethan, send me a signal. I need to locate you.~~~

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the CNS's shot lands it's mark, and drops the rifleman directly in front of the CSO

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Leaps into the bush after the shot enters, tackling the first thing he sees moving.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~CO:  Captain, we're here.  Take immediate cover upon your arrival.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::ducks down::CSO: Stay low Commander.

MO_Harek says:
@::turns and sees the CNS firing:: CNS: What are you firing at?

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  FCO:  Strapping you to a biobed in sickbay.. with a dog looking on forlornly at you... maybe we will get lucky and she'll drool on you..  ::SO so mad.::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  Nice shot Randi!

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the TO lands himself upon an assailant, 3 more pin him down

CSO_Woo says:
%::jumps back as he sees a body seemingly jump out in front of them... shot by someone, evidently:: CO: I realize we should do that, yes, captain... ::ducks, and continues moving forward:: CO: The away team's just ahead...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Thank you Sir... ::hesitates::  Sir, Icky is in trouble!

FCO_Roznine says:
::can't miss that Tessie is quite angry at him:: Tessie: Uhm... and if I apologize? And promise to go back to my quarters and vegetate?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%CSO: Try and contact them.

OPS_Barnes says:
@::sees the TO in trouble on his tricorder, runs to get to his position, phaser drawn::

Host XO_Knight says:
@CNS:  You up for it?

Host Jamie_O says:
ALL: ACTION: the CNS comes into line of sight of the CSO

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO:  You bet, let's do it!

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
%<Bee>  ::Leaps into the fray.::

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie> FCO:  You will get a babysitter... ::looks at Aurora..::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::with one swift movement, gets up and heads over to the TO::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
%::wonders why Ethan doesn't reply::Self: I can feel him, very strange.

CSO_Woo says:
%::nods to the captain:: *XO* Woo to Knight. What's your position? ::sees the CNS in the distance:: Nevermind, sir, I see Lt. McIntyre... we're approaching your position.

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie> Aurora:  Do you think you can guard Roz... make him stay put?

FCO_Roznine says:
::grins:: Tessie: And you can't ask for a better one. I'll be good, I promise.

FCO_Roznine says:
<Aurora> Tessie: Woof!

CMO_Santiago says:
<Tessie>  Aurora:  Ok take him by the pant leg and return him to quarters.
