Mission Summary
	As the crew continues to try and adapt to their new forms and the urges that seem at times to be overwhelming, Targa continues to throw changes at them to see how they respond.  First changing the environment to a forest, and then introducing large predators, he seems to be interested in the group’s reaction to stimulus more than anything else.  Question is, why?

Host Targa says:
USS Huron 10305.31

Host Targa says:
The female lizards are now wandering among the crew and the indigenous lizards seeking new mates.

Host Targa says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Knight says:
::walking around, looking for any trace of Targa::

CTO_Peters says:
::Lying on a big rock, looking around::

OPS_Barnes says:
::curled up in the sand a few meters from the rest of the group, looking somewhat like a Vulcan in Pon Farr who has not yet received a mate (read: very displeased and in agony):: Self: I.... will.... NOT..... I.... will.... NOT!!! ::continues to repeat the mantra::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::looks over the available males trying to find a good specimen for her next vict...err....mate::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sitting on an outcropping of rock, overlooking a concentration of crew.  Picking at the remains of breakfast.::

CMO_Harek says:
::near some water chiseling away at some crystal to rig up some ancient examining device::

Host Targa says:
::continues to make his notes, as this is a very interesting experiment::

Host CO_Knight says:
::mumbles to himself::  Self:  C'mon Targa, you've got to be around here somewhere.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looking over the males wandering around:: Self: too skinny...not scaly enough...hmmm.

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks around at the rest of the available males, studying them carefully::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sidles down to the sandy beach and waggles her tail seeing whose attention she can get::

CTO_Peters says:
::Sits up to get a better view::

Host Targa says:
::decides to throw in a forest to see how the lizards will react to new territory::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  A forest appears near the lizards.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Leaps with a quickness that surprises himself towards a small rodent like creature.::  Self: Wow, how did I move that quick?  For that matter, why did I?  I just finished eating.  Oh well, time to stock up.

Host CO_Knight says:
::starts getting agitated and yells::  Targa:  Targa, I know you out here somewhere, now show yourself!

CTO_Peters says:
::Watches the TO move around, licking her lips::

Host CO_Knight says:
::watches as he sees a forest suddenly appear before him::

CMO_Harek says:
:looks up as a forest appears near them. but continues to work::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sits up and looks over at a new growth of trees:: Self: Oh nice, more places to hide in.

CTO_Peters says:
::Feels a big chill with all the trees around::

CEO_Hansen says:
::looks over at the forest, studying it curiously for a moment::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Scurries up the nearest tree, moving through the branches to again see as much as possible.::

Host Targa says:
::waves his hands and adds small creatures that will attract the lizards, as they are another good food source::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::looks over and sees a hunk working away:: Self: Hmmm, he might do.

CMO_Harek says:
::yanks his hand back as the focuses sun through the lenses burns some scales:: Self: Ouch!!!

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::scurries over and sits on a rock near the CMO::

CEO_Hansen says:
::wanders into the trees, curious about what's there::

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: I... will... NOT.... I... will... ::sniffs a new scent and uncurls, attempting very hard to control his instincts:: Self: Awww geez, what the hell is this now? ::walking around the forest, he finds a nice tree to curl around, changing colors to match the bark, then continues repeating his mantra::

Host CO_Knight says:
::yells out again::  Targa:  TARGA!

Host Targa says:
CO:  What is it?  You are bothering me... go eat something!  ::waves his hands and deposits the CO into the middle of the forest::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: Hi there handsome. ::smiles her lizard grin and bats her long lush eyelashes::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Hears the Captain and goes leaping/ running to find what caused the yelling.::  CO: Sir!  Are you all right?  Hey!  Where did he go?

CTO_Peters says:
::Walks around, loosing sight of the TO, starts searching for him::

Host CO_Knight says:
Self:  Oh that's it!  This game of his is getting really old!  ::starts walking to head out of the forest::

CMO_Harek says:
::looks up at the EO, smiles, and continues working on his device::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sits up as tall as she can and flares her frill:: CMO: Hey, take a look! ::dances around::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Yelling.::  CO: Sir!  Where did you go?!?!  Are you all right?

CMO_Harek says:
::moves closer to the EO, but still ignores her::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::moves down off the rock and closer to the CMO::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The forest now engulfs the entire lizard population, with a wall around it that cannot be climbed by clawed lizards.

CEO_Hansen says:
::wanders through the trees, looking around at the various plants and bugs::

CTO_Peters says:
::Grumbles at loosing the TO, and leaps around::

Host CO_Knight says:
::hears Ec'Thel'lon's voice::  TO:  Ec’Thel’Ion?  I'm fine.....just have to make my way back out of this bloody forest!

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::brushes her body against his and almost purrs:: CMO: You like?

CMO_Harek says:
EO: Yes, come closer!!!

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::curls her tail around the CMO::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Head perched over the tree limb.::  CO: To where, sir?  It's much better than that brown land he played with us in before.

OPS_Barnes says:
::flops off the tree, still grasping his commbadge:: Self: Why won't this damn thing WORK?!?!?

CTO_Peters says:
::Passes other lizards, and finds something wrong with each of them, and leaps by::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::flicks her tongue in the CMO's ear::

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Come to your senses Ec’Thel’Ion.  That's just it, I'm tired of playing!

CMO_Harek says:
::finishes his device then jerks back at the EO' actions:: Self: Finally Done!

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The com badge that the CMO had suddenly disappears and is now in Targa's hand.

CEO_Hansen says:
::sits down under a tree and watches the bugs buzz around::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS: Whatchaaaaaa doing?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: I didn't mean to play along, sir.  Personally, I'd love to clobber that pale little such and such.  But I've seen him inside.  Leaving won't help to end this, I think.  We gotta take him out.

Host Targa says:
::he begins to examine it, wondering what it is::

CMO_Harek says:
::feels his chest were the commbadge used to be::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::notices the trees are blocking the sun:: CMO: It's getting cold here. Let's head to the beach where it's warmer.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Slips around to hang upside down from the branch while talking.::

CMO_Harek says:
::stars to head out:: EO: Follow me

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Finally, someone else who feels we need to get out of here.  I just don't know what we could do to take him out.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The ground begins to move, as if larger creatures were present.

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Attempting to contact the ship, e-e-ensign, and I would suggest m-m-moving back. NOW. ::flees backward, trying to sink into the dirt, his color becoming that of the forest floor::

CEO_Hansen says:
::blinks a bit and scrambles to her feet, looking for somewhere to hide as she has no idea what's going on::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: What's that?  I don't like the feel of that.

CMO_Harek says:
::falls over, almost dropping his microscope::

CTO_Peters says:
Self: Ooh this one changes colors.  ::Moves quickly beside OPS, trying to hide as well:: OPS: Room for one more?

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  A blood curdling scream is heard in the distance... someone has just been made a tasty meal.

Host CO_Knight says:
::goes for cover behind the tree that Ec’Thel’Ion is in::  TO:  I don't know, but I'm sure we're about to find out.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::feels the earth move under her feet and clings to the CMO::

CEO_Hansen says:
::starts running in what she thinks is AWAY from the large creatures::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Tries to locate the source of the sound.::  CO: It's over that way, but I can't tell how far.  My hearing isn't what it used to be.  ::Climbs back to the top of the branch, starting to climb higher to get a look.::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::lands on the CMO as he falls:: CMO: Ooh, anxious aren't we?

Host Targa says:
::Targa claps his hands in glee as he sees his lizards running for cover::

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: As a superior officer,  I *order* y-y-y-ou to move off IMMEDIATLY. :: flees backward even more, then feels the earth shake:: CTO: See? Danger! Go! Run away!

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Are you up high enough to see anything?

CTO_Peters says:
::Feels horribly rejected and digs herself a hole :: OPS: You are mean...

OPS_Barnes says:
CTO: Trust m-m-me, Chief, you'll thank me later. ::runs off to try and find the Captain, allowing his skin to turn to a neutral green::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye, sir.  The noise is from something big, semi bipedal, and carnivorous.  Now I miss my Phaser!

CTO_Peters says:
::Grumbles how her first choice in the FCO was a better mate then OPS::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::continues to curl her tail around the CMO::CMO: Mother always said to find a nice doctor type. ::smiles and flicks her tongue at him::

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Speaking of which....where are our Phasers?  Perhaps we should find cover.  A cave maybe.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Scurries down the tree.::  CO: We need to arm ourselves somehow.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The noise becomes louder as the new creatures gets closer.

OPS_Barnes says:
::sneaking up behind:: TO: Well, this is all I have. I hope Starfleet has been keeping the points sharp! :: holds out a commbadge, his hand visibly shaking::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: Hurry to the beach. It's safe in the water.

CMO_Harek says:
EO: my mother always said to find some nice engineer type...actually that a lie

CEO_Hansen says:
::tries to find somewhere to hide::

CTO_Peters says:
::Hurries to dig her hole, finally done, hides in it, trying hard not to move::

CMO_Harek says:
EO: I don't know if we can get to the beach because of this giant wall

Host CO_Knight says:
::looks at TO/OPS::  TO/OPS:  It doesn't look like much.  I'm not sure if that would even slow it down.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  A clicking noise can soon be heard... they appear to be creatures similar to velociraptors from earth.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::takes her teeth and grabs the CMO's front leg:: CMO: Come now!

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: We've figured out Phasers and other Warp Physics technology won't work, but what about Phaser batteries?  Can we discharge them if we don't phase the energy?

CTO_Peters says:
::Lets out a little whimper::

CMO_Harek says:
::screams in pain:: EO: You didn't have to bite me

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Natural defense systems might be our only option. ::bears teeth::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::drags the CMO through the trees to where the beach is::

CEO_Hansen says:
::keeps running through the trees, trying to get away from this new enemy::

CTO_Peters says:
::Hides deeper in her hole::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Get the crews moving back.  If this works, I may have a defense.  Locate the Phasers, most have been dropped as useless, but they may help!  ::Leaps into the trees, closer to the nearest beast.::

CMO_Harek says:
::tries to claw the ground to stop from being dragged::

Host CO_Knight says:
OPS:  We need to see if we can find some sort of cover.  Perhaps we should all get up into the trees.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sees the wall and stops:: CMO: Now what do we do?

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: ::loudly:: What I wouldn't give for a good Tricorder right now. 

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Knight says:
All:  I want everyone to get up into the trees and hide as best they can!

CMO_Harek says:
EO: Regroups with the others, so we will be safe

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The creatures can be heard surrounding the forest, while packs begin their hunting inside.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Gets about 20 Meters away from a creature, sets Phaser to overload, and throws it, hoping the batteries still can overload.::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: Carry me please. You're so much bigger and stronger and I feel safe with you.

Host Targa says:
::Targa peers curiously at the object the TO tossed and is appears in his hand::  Self:  Now I wonder what this is?

CTO_Peters says:
::Tries to fill the entrance to her little hole::

OPS_Barnes says:
::crawls up into a tree, allowing his color to change as he ascends::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Targa: You idio...uh, keep it!  ::Flees from the creatures.::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The Phaser turns warm in Targa's hand, then disappears.

CMO_Harek says:
::sighs and hoists up the EO and slowly carries her back to the rest of the crew::

CEO_Hansen says:
::scrambles up a tree and hopes she's able to hide there::

Host CO_Knight says:
::still climbing further up the tree, hoping the others are already doing the same::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The velociraptors appear where the crew just vacated, looking up at the trees, then at each other, deciding to wait them out.

CMO_Harek says:
::starts to wonder if Targa was responsible for the death of the female population, just for an excuse to brings us here::

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Ec’Thel’Ion, you still around here?

CTO_Peters says:
::watches out of a little hole, at the crew climbing away::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::clings to the CMO and hopes none of the big, bad lizards find them:: CMO: Look over there, a hole in that tree.

CEO_Hansen says:
::shifts in the tree and looks down at the large reptiles, just staying where she is::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye sir.  Tried to hand grenade our new visitors, but our tormentor grabbed and disarmed it.  Of all the luck, I wish it overloaded in his hand!

CMO_Harek says:
::looks over::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  Targa waves his hand and the Captain appears next to him, on top of a rise where the actions of the crew can be viewed.

OPS_Barnes says:
::frantically tapping the commbadge:: Commbadge: Barnes to Huron! Barnes to Huron! Barnes to Starfleet! Barnes to anyone up there who can damn well hear this!

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Captain!

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: Damn it, they got the captain now!

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: Let's hide in there. ::hangs on tightly::

Host CO_Knight says:
TO:  Well, you are probably right in saying that we have to get to....  ::stops in the middle of his sentence as he appears next to Targa::

Host Targa says:
CO:  What is all this that you brought with you?  ::the com badge now appears in one hand, and the overloading Phaser battery in the other hand::

CTO_Peters says:
::Pears out and looks up to see the CO::

CMO_Harek says:
::climbs over towards the whole::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks about for anything resembling a weapon.::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::smiles at the CMO::CMO: Oh you're sooooo strong.

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  I want you to stop what you are doing to me and my crew immediately!

CMO_Harek says:
EO: Thanks

Host Targa says:
CO:  And how do you propose to stop me Captain?  ::looks at him like a parent would a disagreeable child::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: You don't happen to have another Phaser on hand, do you?  I gave my spare to Commander Woo.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::hops into the hole and pulls the doctor inside::

OPS_Barnes says:
TO: No, Ensign I don’t.... Targa brought me down here from Sickbay, so I was unarmed. 

CTO_Peters says:
::Doesn't hear anything, and slowly exits her hole::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  What is it you are trying to gain by doing this to us?

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Plenty of rocks on the ground, with scraps of cloth we could make slings.  Problem is getting to them without getting chomped.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The creatures are still looking for lizards that are not smart enough to be still.

OPS_Barnes says:
TO: I could probably get there... I have the nice ability to blend in...

CTO_Peters says:
::Scurries back into her hole, thinking it wasn't safe after all::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: I wouldn't trust it.  Don't know what they use to hunt, might not be visible light spectrum.

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  Before you say anything further......I need you to toss that Phaser battery away.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::snuggles close to the doctor inside the tree:: CMO: Now don't move and they won't even know we're here.

Host Targa says:
::Targa looks down at the Phaser:: CO:  Why?  It cannot hurt me.

CMO_Harek says:
::tries to remain still::

CEO_Hansen says:
::is still sitting up in a tree, not making any move to come down::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  Trust me, you do not want to find that out.  You seem to be able to do a lot of things, but I wouldn't want to take the chance of what will happen should that go off.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::sniffs at the doctor enjoying his manly aroma::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: We have to distract those things.  Hey, I wonder if they'd eat Targas?

CMO_Harek says:
rubs his head against the EO's side::

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks down from the treetops and assesses the position of the raptors:: TO: Time for a little experiment.... ::grasping onto the tree with tail and hands, he tosses his commbadge down, hoping to get divert the attention of the raptors::

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: Well since we're stuck in here for a while.....::pauses:: Wanna?

Host Targa says:
::Targa closes both hands over the Phaser, muffling the explosion::  CO:  See Captain... ::smiling like a delighted child at his trick::

CTO_Peters says:
::Is getting restless, and bolts out of her hole and heads for the nearest tree::

CMO_Harek says:
EO: At least it will past the time

Host CO_Knight says:
::opens his eyes and sees Targa unharmed::  Targa:  You should not have done that!  It could really have hurt you.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The velociraptors see the object but make no attempt to find out what it is, their prey are in the trees.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Careful!  No need to take risks like that!  ::Tries to reach for him to pull him back up.::  I miss my old build, stupid lizard arms.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  Out of the corner of their eyes, they see the CTO make a run for it and are after her in a heartbeat!

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::smiles and nestles into the doctor:: CMO: Thought I'd never get you!

OPS_Barnes says:
::watching their reaction:: TO: Guess not, I think we'll need some live meat...

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: Oh no!  CTO: Chief, run!

CTO_Peters says:
Self: Ut oh. ::leaps up onto a low branch, and looks down at the creatures::.

OPS_Barnes says:
TO: Look at that fool! But this may be my chance! ::darts out of the tree and, without looking back, heads for the river::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  Now please, tell me why it is you are doing this.

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  They jump for their prey as she is not very high, nipping her right heel.

CTO_Peters says:
::Slaps them with her tail::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  Another group see OPS making a run for it and take out after him.

CEO_Hansen says:
::just stays in the tree, not stupid enough to chance climbing down::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs a piece of fruit from a tree branch and whizzes it at a raptor's head.::  Raptor:  Hey, slime ball, over here!  ::Hangs lower to draw their attention, hoping they'll take the tougher but louder bait.::

CMO_Harek says:
EO: You have me now

OPS_Barnes says:
::darts around the wall:: Self: Damn it! ::keeps running:: 

Host Targa says:
CO:  Doing what Captain?  This is fun... you should be enjoying it as much as I.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::is breathing heavily as the doctor....::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks down at her heel:: Self: Ouch...::Taunts the raptors with her tail, and continues to slap them around::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  But you see, that's just it.....we are not enjoying this.  You are putting us in severe danger.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Throw whatever you can find!  We have to distract those things.  And stay in the trees or under cover!

OPS_Barnes says:
::yelling as loud as possible:: TO: Ensign, make a supply run! I'll keep 'em company!

CTO_Peters says:
::Jumps up to the next branch::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  The CTO's heel begins to gush green blood maddening the raptors.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Get in the trees!  There are too many of those things, and they are far to fast!

CTO_Peters says:
::Sits on the higher branch, looking over her wound::

Host Targa says:
CO:  Tut, tut Captain, what is life but a challenge?  ::continuing to watch the fun::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  What is it going to take for you to realize that we do not want this challenge.  Why don't you end this and we can talk about what it is that you want and how we would be able to help.

CEO_Hansen says:
::picks off some of the leaves and just drops them to the ground, having nothing better to do::

OPS_Barnes says:
::runs headfirst into the base of a tree, freezing, and changing color, while suspending the movement of every muscle:: 

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::moves back slightly:: CMO: Thank you doctor. That was...enjoyable. ::smiles and turns to look out of the hole::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks over the side, and continues to watch the raptors below::

Host Targa says:
CO:  Captain, you are already helping.  The species on this planet would have died out, had your females not begun to lay eggs.

CMO_Harek says:
::while the EO is turned away, pokes her tail and draws blood from her stomach::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Leaps through the branches over OPS to help him up.::

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  Eggs?  This is about eggs and the continuance of a species?  Why did you not inform us of this?  I'm sure there is some sort of way we could help without being put through this.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::turns back quickly:: CMO: Oooo, want to play rough huh? ::bites his hand hard::

OPS_Barnes says:
::slowly crawls up the tree, hoping to be ignored::

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  OPS's movement draws the attention of the raptors as they lunge for him.  One takes a bite out of his tail, leaving a stump.

CMO_Harek says:
::pulls his hand back:: EO: I was trying to collect a blood sample to look at under this microscope I built

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs OPS and helps him the rest of the way up as the raptors just miss.::

OPS_Barnes says:
::lets out a cry of agony, then darts up to the top of the tree:: TO: Well... Didn't need that blasted thing anyway.

Host Targa says:
CO:  Captain, you are becoming very tiring.  Either enjoy the game, or I will put you back.

CTO_Peters says:
::Holds her foot, trying to make it stop bleeding::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Maybe, but don't try anything like that again.  We need to figure this out.  We can't outmuscle these things, we can't outrun them.  We have to out think them.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
CMO: You hurt me! ::looks around:: I'm leaving!

CMO_Harek says:
EO: Fine, then go!!!

Host CO_Knight says:
Targa:  I am sure there is a lot more we can do for you to keep this species going.  Why don't you give us a chance to prove what we can do and end this.

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::scurries out of the hole and sits on a nearby rock::

OPS_Barnes says:
::panting:: TO: Ensign... Peters... looked hurt.

CTO_Peters says:
::Tries to wrap a few large leaves around the wound, putting pressure on it::

Host Targa says:
::tired of the Captain harping at him, he moves his hands and the Captain appears next to the TO::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Hands OPS some leaves.::  OPS: These will work for bandages, I'll get to her now.  Keep still, please sir.

CMO_Harek says:
::places the sample under his lenses and turn it towards some light seeping through the tree's::

Host CO_Knight says:
::gritting his teeth::  TO:  Oh that Targa is one pain in the.......!

Host Targa says:
ACTION:  Three of the native lizards see the raptors distracted and try to make a run up the wall, sliding down into the mouths of their stalkers.

OPS_Barnes says:
::turns his head around:: CO: Captain!

Host CO_Knight says:
::looks and sees Chris now without a tail::  OPS:  You okay Chris?

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks horrified:: CO: Sir... they're.... dead! 

Host Targa says:
:whoever these begins are, they are not any fun...::

Host CO_Knight says:
OPS:  Who?  Who's dead?

OPS_Barnes says:
::points out to where the three crewmen once were::

CEO_Hansen says:
::is still just sitting on the tree, picking leaves and dropping them::

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Perhaps, but right now we don't have much choice.  We have to figure a way to beat these things without getting more injured.  ::Leaps off towards CTO to try and help...somehow.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Sees the TO coming towards her:: TO: Be careful...they don't like my blood. ::Points down::

Host CO_Knight says:
OPS/TO:  I did notice one thing though.  It seems that when Targa wants to make things happen, he has to use his hands.

Host CO_Knight says:
OPS/TO:  Perhaps if we were able to neutralize his arms and hands somehow.

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Hey, I'm impatient and often irrational, not suicidal.  Is your foot all right?

EO_Ens_Sparks says:
::takes a last look at the doctor still in the hole and heads over to the Captain:: CO: He hurt me! ::points back to the tree::

CTO_Peters says:
::Tires to hide it:: TO: Just a flesh wound..

TO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs some more leaves.::  CTO: These should stem the bleeding until we can get something better to use.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Maybe we can feed him to one of THOSE. ::still staring at where the three crewmen used to be::

Host CO_Knight says:
EO:  Who?  Who hurt you?  Just calm down.

CMO_Harek says:
::climb out of the whole to shed some for light on his device::

CTO_Peters says:
TO: That’s what I’m using, not sure how long they will last

Host Targa says:
