Mission Summary - “Those We Leave Behind, Part V”
	The evacuation continues, even as the planet is being ripped apart, the cities decimated by the natural forces, and as the Huron's systems appear to be on the verge of collapsing. With each second that passes, the crew and evacuated refugees must endure increasing danger, as the  structural integrity field approaches full collapse. In an attempt to speed up the evacuation by having the shuttles travel smaller distances, a transporter platform is is constructed to boost the range. But the destruction on the planet increases in speed, and shortly after the launch of the platform, the XO decided that it was time to leave the system, even though there were about a hundred volunteers and officials and refugees on the planet. But if they stay for much longer, the hospital pods may collapse, killing everybody... the shuttles remain for as long as they can, to take advantage of the transporter platform, but they too are forced to leave as the planet begins to glow a bright and ominous red... as the shuttles leave orbit, the CNS's and TO's shuttle falls back, its intake vents clogged by the ashen atmosphere... the shuttle spiraled down to the planet, and crashes on a tree that tears the shuttle apart, rendering everyone on board unconscious... immediately, the Huron sends another shuttle to transport the fallen directly to the Huron using the transporter platform, mere seconds before the entire planet tears itself apart in a cataclysmic explosion...  With five minutes to go before the shockwave hits the Huron, the crew decided that the only way to retain the smallest bit of hope of survival was to go to warp to jump ahead of the energy wave, in clear violation of the ban. But it seems preferable to complete destruction...

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Holding his head due to a major headache.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, monitoring evacuation, wondering if the reported stress is going to overwhelm already taxed systems.::

EO_Lt says:
::enters the bridge and heads for her station::XO: Sir, I'm going to monitor the stress on the hospital pods from the bridge.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  We are almost done.  A couple more trips and I think we will have them all.

Host XO_Woo says:
::on the bridge, checking reports from across the ship about the strain we're feeling...::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: That's good to know.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Understood. How are they holding up thus far?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Sir, we can make two more trips, then we should have them all along with your efforts on the ship.

CSO_Sky says:
::In sickbay, working with the children.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Good work. Make them fast - I don't know how much longer we can stay here.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Here we go... get them onboard as quickly as possible.  ::bringing the shuttle in for another landing::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Yes Sir, I will beam them over as soon as I am in range.

EO_Lt says:
XO: Well sir, they're at the maximum now, so I just hope that they can hold for another hour or so, but I can't promise that.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Beta team*: Just get them aboard.  We can figure out where they stay afterwards.  Time is incredibly precious.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant, we're reaching the end of our evacuation, but the planet seems to have taken a turn for the worse. I'd appreciate it if you would return to the bridge to monitor the planet's status.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: I think my legs are going to fall off after these trips.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Is there any way we can block the force they are dealing with without using the shields?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::idles the shuttle down so people can board::

Host XO_Woo says:
::sighs:: EO: We still need to have enough time to return to Starbase.

CSO_Sky says:
::Wipes Tina's tears and hands her back to her mother.::  *XO*:  Understood.  I am on my way back up.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  I can understand how you feel.  Would you like me to do it and you fly?

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks over towards one of the nurses and motions her to take her place.::

EO_Lt says:
::looks over at the CTO::CTO: I'm trying to find some way, but I just don't know at this point.

CSO_Sky says:
::Carefully makes her way through the crowded sickbay and out to the corridor.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: No, that is okay. ::Goes looking for passengers::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods understanding.::  EO: If I think of something, you'll be the first to know.

EO_Lt says:
::glances at Woo and nods::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Do not go very far.  Security is supposed to have them waiting for us.  I don't want to explain to the XO that someone knocked you over the head.

CSO_Sky says:
::Steps into the turbolift.::  Computer, bridge.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Once we clear the system, the stress should become far less.  Plus it'll let us use the shields again.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Hurry it up Ensign!  We need to get out of here quickly!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Gets a few people and goes back to the ship::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: That is good to hear. With the eruption and the earthquakes... we need something to look forward to.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Calm down, there is a lot of ash out there.

Host XO_Woo says:
@*CNS*: What's the situation like down there? I understand the lava is beginning to creep into the city.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  We are almost full, please ask the CTO to talk to his security people about getting the folks to the landing sites... I am not comfortable with Wyte having to round them up Sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Beta Team> *CTO*: Sir, we have a brawl going on here!

CNS-McIntyre says:
@XO*:  Sir. Wyte just said the ash is bad.  The heat is getting worse as well.

CSO_Sky says:
::Arriving on the bridge, nods to Corrinda and takes over science, nodding to her as she fills her in.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Problems, sir.  *Alpha Team*: Report to the Starboard pod immediately!  We have situation Beta among the colonists.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::checks on the structural integrity field reading again and bites her lip:: XO: Commander, bad news. One of the pods has reached critical. She's not going to take much more.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Commander, the Redla continent is breaking up.  It won't stay above the waves much longer.  That continent is clear.  The problem is the tsunami that is quickly heading for the Tunstum continent which is not.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: That's the last thing we need. Get your team to stop this immediately.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Make sure everyone is secured, we are leaving now. ::powers up the shuttle::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They're already there.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  The counselor is correct, the temperature on the planet is increasing.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: How much will using subspace manipulating fields make this worse?  What would happen if we raise shields to protect the pods or use a Tractor beam on that Tsunami?

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO/EO: Unfortunately, we can only work as fast as our systems will allow. Do you have any suggestions to speed up the process? Because I'm out of any ideas. ::clasps his hands and watches the planet on the screen::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Looks at the secureness of the passengers:: CNS: Check.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The earth tremors increase, shaking the AT's shuttle.  A large crack is slowly widening down the landing field.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  We are on our way! ::gives the shuttle as much power as possible for safety::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Keeps a close eye on Starboard Pod, wishing he was there with the puppies.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  That was TOO close!

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  That is the unknown factor.  There is no way of telling.  However, it might be suggested as soon as we have all the colonists off.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
:;nods negatively at the XO and then looks back down at her panel::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Sir, we will be coming in fast!  I need to beam these people out and get back down there... there is not much time left.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: That was not good for a sore head.

Host XO_Woo says:
::remains silent for a moment:: CTO: How many more are down there?

CSO_Sky says:
XO: As for speeding up... With the pods and shuttles, we have already done that.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Difficult to say exactly, but between 3 and 4 hundred I estimate.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::watches as the shuttle clears the ash in the atmosphere and steers towards the Huron::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Suppose.. suppose we send out a probe or a shuttle, halfway between us and the planet. Could the shuttlecrafts use that to extend their transporter range, bouncing the signals off, so that they do not have to travel as far?

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The land tears apart where the shuttle had been.  People run away from the in terror leaving everything behind.  Some are not quick enough.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shakes head.::  XO: Sir, landing area is suffering major tectonic stress.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Do whatever you must at this point, lieutenant! CSO: Would that work?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Can't be sure of that sir, but it may be possible. Let me get Sierra on it.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO/ XO: Emergency Transporters on the shuttles have range, but the atmospheric conditions make that almost suicidal.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Tell your teams to make sure that the people do not scatter - if they do, they are dead.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  I believe it would sir.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Then prepare a shuttle on autopilot, and launch post haste.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::turns to the CSO::CSO: Sierra, can you launch a probe to the coordinates?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Get the people to the transporter.  Let's get them out of here... we have more people down there to save!

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  That may be our only option however.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Commander...  I have no explanation, but the planet seems to be increasing in its destructive end.  We are down to approximately one hour.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: All shuttles are already involved in the ferrying service.  As soon as they clear the atmosphere I'll have them beam direct to Cargo Bay 1.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Herds the people to the transporters::

CSO_Sky says:
EO:  An enhancer?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CSO*:  Sierra, can we still land at our last coordinates?

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Noted. We can still do this.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Exactly. We need to extend the transporter's range.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Ask the XO where he wants this bunch beamed to.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks down at sensors::  *CNS*:  Negative.  However, there is a landing site about 5 Km away that looks fairly stable. You can pick up the people who went that direction.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, I'm emptying one of the shuttles that you can use to bounce your transporter signals across.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Com: Planetary Control Center:  This is the Huron, please do all you can to maintain a grouping of your people for as long as possible.  We're trying as quick as we can, but the more they are scattered the longer it will take us.

CSO_Sky says:
EO:  If you will set up a platform with enhancers, we should be able to beam it to the midway point you suggest.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Aye Sir! Incoming now!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Aye. @*XO*: Sir, where are the colonist going to be beamed to?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::nods::CSO: On it.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  You heard him, send to the shuttle so we can get back down there.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll divert someone to Cargo Bay 2.  It's big enough for the emergency transporters to hit without receptors.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CSO*: Copy Sierra, 5 km.  On our way.

CSO_Sky says:
::Quietly::  CTO:  From that last disaster. you can take about 20 people off your list.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Transports colonists.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
*Engineering*: Sparks here. I need a platform set up to carry a transporter enhancer like yesterday people.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*: What's the status of the starboard pod?  CSO: I know, I'm trying not to think of that...yet.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: How soon can you get that set up? The shuttlecraft is being used now, but your platform should probably replace it.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Wyte, get ready, this ride is going to be rough with all the ash in the air.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::raises a hand::XO: One moment sir, I'm waiting to hear from my people on that now.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::totally flying blind, she uses her instruments to adjust the landing site per the CSO's instructions::

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Tsunami to hit Tunstum in 15 minutes.  I have informed the governor to get his people further inland.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: What if we hit that thing with Phasers or Photons?  Could we hit it hard enough to break it up?

CSO_Sky says:
::Glances at her sensors::  *CNS*:  You are too far to the right... alter your course by 44 mark 2.  There are a group of people collecting near there.

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: How far inland do they have to go to get away from the tsunami?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*CSO*:  Aye adjusting course now.  Thanks!

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
<Henderson>*EO*: Henderson here Holly. Give us about five minutes and we'll be ready.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks at the CTO and frowns::  CTO:  I do not believe so... unless you can create a wave going in the opposite direction.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Further then they can all get.  That Tsunami is huge.  Though the worse of it will wear itself within the first 10 km.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, give us about five minutes and your platform will be ready.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: By the pits of Angbad!  ::Slams console.::  There has to be something we can do!

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::jumps as Icky slams his console::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Fires storming through the forests arrive at the open field the people are waiting at for the shuttle.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Ok, let's hope we didn't squish anyone landing here.  I hope there is someone out there.  ::opens the shuttle bay doors for the TO::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Lieutenant. ::raises a hand:: It is alright. But if we are to save as many people as we can, your team must keep everyone together. I don't care if they threaten the colonists - just keep them together.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks at the CTO understandingly, tempted to tell them no more of the destruction they can do so little about.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Are the sensors cutting through the atmosphere okay? Maybe we can help the pilots by identifying areas of high concentration.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Jumps out and a couple of seconds later comes back with terrified people:: CNS: There seems to be a forest fire.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Ah great!  Just what we need?  Are we full?

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  It is not as clear as I like it, but the are still functioning.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Aye, we are full.

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Coordinate with the shuttles to send them where they need to get as quickly as possible, I'm sure our sensors are better than the shuttle sensors.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  All coastal cities are now under water due to the melting of the ice caps.  I believe they were all cleared though.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Wyte, I am going to take a chance, we will take 10 this trip.  Put the extra 2 in the aisles.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir.  Planetary authorities are doing all they can.  Reports in from Starboard pod.  Situation contained, 12 colonists injured, 3 serious.  Alpha team reports 4 injured, 1 seriously.

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: That is good news. ::stands:: EO: Life support and SIF holding up okay?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Very well. :: Sticks his head out and calls for two more::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks over at the stress indicators again:: XO: Barely sir. We have to get out of here soon, very soon.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: See that a medical team treats the injured in the pod. If they don't have to go to sickbay, they won't.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: How soon exactly is that?? If the systems go critical and we haven't picked everyone up yet...

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::As the two get in, he closes the door:: CNS:: All set.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Sir, I am taking 10 this time, have the shuttle ready to forward them to you.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir.  *Sickbay*: Medical Team to Starboard Hospital Pod for multiple injuries.  Tactical team on scene.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  A chain of long dormant Volcanoes begin to erupt as the magma escapes through the cracks created by the earthquakes.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Thanks Wyte, we are out of here! ::gearing up again she takes off through a cloud of black ash::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Have the shuttles forget landing.  Their transporters can work to pick them up and to dump them here.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Did you hear something that sound like a mass eruption?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  No, sorry, I was focusing on getting us out of here.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: We are running out of time. Use your own transporters to snatch the colonists up - have the computers automate it if you have to.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::watches the life support light blink slowly and hopes it doesn't move to red::XO: As soon as possible sir. If we don't leave now, the stress on the pods will collapse them within minutes,

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Yes Sir, but my sensors are not that good.  The CSO had to correct my flight path, so I will need her to direct me.

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  There are three isolated groups of colonists that the shuttles can not get to.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Beta Team*: Emergency situation, we need all hands on duty.  We'll catch up the schedules later.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Gets the people and the computers ready for transport.::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: And there is no way that you can decrease the stress on those pods?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: Where?  I'll make them priority for the ships Transporters.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
<Henderson>*EO*: Holly, the platform is ready and in place.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Send them when you are ready Ensign.  We need to get back down there.

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  Sending you coordinates now.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::turns to the XO::XO: Commander, the platform is ready.

CSO_Sky says:
::Follows through as she glances at sensors::  *CNS*:  What is your situation now?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Hits a button and then they are gone:: CNS: Lets go.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Then... launch your platform. ::turns around:: Bridge: It seems I have a decision to make now.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: No sir, we're done all we can.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods.::  *Transporter Teams*: Concentrate on the colonists at these coordinates.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks over at the first officer.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*CSO*:  We are transporting now Sierra, where do you want me to get another load?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Sierra, launch when ready.

Host XO_Woo says:
Bridge: Ens. Sparks tells me that if we don't leave, the pods will collapse. We'll leave the platform here, and the shuttles will continue to take advantage of it... but we have to leave the system.

CSO_Sky says:
*CNS*:  Go to the other side of the trench.  You can not land where the fire is spreading.  There is a landing sight about 2 km from the trench were there are a group of people.

CSO_Sky says:
:: Does a quick calculation and sends the platform to the midway point.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, we have no choice, but the Huron has to begin leaving the system. The shuttles are to remain for as long as they can, and use the platform to transport over... but we must leave. Do you understand?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@CSO*:  Acknowledged Sierra, but I can only take 10... almost didn't make it.

CSO_Sky says:
EO:  Platform in place.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*: Aye Sir... I will tell the TO to change coordinates.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Did you hear him Ensign?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Acknowledged. XO: Commander, platform launched and in place.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: I heard him.

Host XO_Woo says:
::sits down:: CSO: Maneuver the platform to maximize the signal boost... FCO: Take us out of orbit and leave the system...

CSO_Sky says:
::Listens to the XO::  EO:  Can you get another platform ready and leave one shuttle the first?  We could do a leap frog affect.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Transporter Chiefs*: Beam quickly and for as long as you can.  We have been forced to withdraw.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: How many more are down there?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Are we ready for another trip?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Sure, but I doubt we have the time.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: Absolutely.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::nods to the TO and turns the shuttle around::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::calls Henderson in engineering to prepare a second platform::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: About 100.  Mostly the planetary authorities and volunteers, but not entirely.  Our evacuation rate dropped as the conditions worsened.

CSO_Sky says:
::nods at the engineer.::  XO:  Commander there is a limit with the transporter situation as is.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Wyte, I am going in fast.  The CSO gave us the coordinates, beam them up quickly.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks at the sensors and notes the tsunami has hit.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Let me know when we have ten onboard.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Then it is still possible.

CSO_Sky says:
::Says nothing.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Starts transporting:: CNS: 1, 2, 3, 4....10!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@CNS: That was odd....I don't know how the computer did that.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  A groan can be heard throughout the ship.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::hears the TO and turns around to get close enough to the platform to transport and do it all over again::

Host XO_Woo says:
::hears a groan:: Self: Damn... EO: Don't tell me...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Don't wonder, let's just do it and get as many as we can.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sir, we just lost a huge  portion of the colonists, the tsunami hit.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
<Henderson>*EO*: Holly, we're about to lose the pods!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Transports the people over to the platform and shuttles::

CSO_Sky says:
::Watches as life forms on her screen darken into nothingness.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: What stress will shields put on the system?  Will it make the stress on the pods worse?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::bites her lip hard::XO: Commander, we're about to lose the pods!

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  Sir, your guess is as good as mine at this moment.  All holds are off at the moment.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Permission to raise the shields?  We have to save those aboard.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: All emergency resources, all power to the warp engines, divert it all to the SIF!

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, we need those shields up as well. Even partial ones might relieve the stress a bit.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: ::stares at the CTO, and waves his hand:: Permission granted.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::nods at the XO's orders::

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Take as many people as your shuttles can take, then leave the system. We must raise shields, our pods have reached and surpassed critical.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::notices on the console the impulse engines are beginning to over heat::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Gulps and raises shields.::

CSO_Sky says:
::Counts those still on the planet, mostly those who had stayed behind to help.  Says nothing.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: May the Gods have mercy on our souls.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*:  Sir, I have a problem.  I can't go down to the planet again... impulse is redlining.  Heading back to the Huron.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: Can you lock onto anyone from your position?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: If the Gods had mercy, they would have had that tsunami not come...

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  Ash clogs one of the shuttles intake vents.  It spirals back to the planet.

Host XO_Woo says:
::says nothing to the CTO's response::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They can't make another trip.  The Transporters can't be used anymore.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Notices the shuttle failure, activates a tractor beam to try and grab it.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::shuts down all power except for emergency and sickbay and reroutes it to the structural integrity field for the hospital pods::

CNS-McIntyre says:
@*XO*: Sir, we are in trouble.  One of the vents are clogged.  We are heading back to the planet.  Pray for us!

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  As the shields go up, on the screen, a wavering affect can be seen.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Strap in Ensign.  This is going to be a rough landing.

Host XO_Woo says:
Bridge: Damn! EO: Are we still in range of the transporter platform?

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
<Henderson>*EO*: Holly that second platform is ready, for all the good it will do you.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Sits down and buckles up, and says nothing::

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Commander, another shuttle to beam up that team... they can get them from the platform.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Shuttlebay*: Do we still have a pod available?  We have a shuttle going down!

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, I have a second platform ready for launch.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Sierra, launch!

CSO_Sky says:
::Locks in the coordinates and launches it.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Drop the shields the instant the transporter is activated, then raise immediately after. Timing is everything...

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: By all means, launch.

CNS-McIntyre says:
@TO:  Here we go... entering atmosphere now.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CNS*: We're sending a shuttle back for you, we'll try to beam your shuttle directly to the shuttlebay... hang on...

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye.  ::Drops shields and Activates Transporters.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::Still says nothing::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Sir, the second platform is on it's way. That may just buy us a few minutes.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Every minute counts, ensign. Every minute....

CSO_Sky says:
::Turns to look at the world that seems now to be one glowing mass of red lava except in a few areas of the last continent still standing.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, how many left?

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::says a prayer, but has a feeling this will be her last ride anywhere::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The ground comes closer and closer to the ground.  A group of trees catches it, slowing it, but it is torn in half as it makes it to the ground.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I'm having a hard time seeing through this mess, but after that Tsunami...

CNS-McIntyre says:
@::passes out from the impact of her head with the console::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
CSO: Sierra, are the sensors working enough to find any more lifesigns down there?

CSO_Sky says:
EO:  Not really...

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::the shock makes him pass out::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: We have...7 more locks beaming back!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reactivates shields after Transport.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
@::The shock also made be ripped out of his seat and hit a console causing him to break a arm and a rib::

Host XO_Woo says:
::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Is it them?

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Commander... the planet has redlined...  there is no more time.  The warp field has pushed the time over... if we do not leave soon, we will be caught in the explosion.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Transporter Chief*: Who made it?  ::Softly.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
<Transporter Chief> *CTO*: We have Lieutenant McIntyre and Ensign Wyte and 5 other colonists down here.  The Medics are on the way.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::sees the indicator begin to blink red::XO: Commander, time has run out.

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: Then, by all means, we leave NOW. CTO: Have all shuttles leave the system IMMEDIATELY.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Our people made it, along with half the 10 colonists the were carrying.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: I refuse to accept that - and you should too.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Shuttles*: Make it out of the system under your own power.  Rendezvous with the Huron and the escape pods at the following coordinates.  ::Transmits coordinates.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, I have my fingers crossed.

Host XO_Woo says:
::falls back against his seat as the Huron starts to cross, away from the dying planet...::

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Sir...  the planet...  we are going to be caught in the energy wave from its destruction.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO/ FCO: I know it's dangerous, but is Warp possible?

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Is there anything we can do to boost the shields? Buy us more time somehow?

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  That option is the only one available... but I do not know if the pods can handle it.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::looks at Icky as he asks about warp::

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  I believe we have all power tied up.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: She's right Commander. There is no where else to pull power from.

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The planet is a fiery ball of molten lava reaching outwards as the two suns tear it apart.

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO/EO: And what of warp? Can we pull it off?

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO/EO: We would only need a small jump to get ahead of the energy wave.

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
XO: Let's see sir. ::looks at the FCO:: FCO: Go for it Roz and pray.......hard.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Commander, the energy wave will hit us in 5 minutes if we stay at this speed.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::In his subconscious, he walks up some stairs looking for a door::

Host XO_Woo says:
FCO: We have run out of time. An extremely short jump, warp 1, just enough to buy us more time.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Orders security to start moving people from Pods to inner sections, just in case.::

EO_LtJG_Sparks says:
::closes her eyes for a moment and says a silent prayer not forgetting to keep her fingers crossed::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CSO: What about the planetary escape pods?  They had a 2 hour head start, is it enough?

CSO_Sky says:
CTO:  Maybe....

Host XO_Woo says:
<FCO> XO: Aye, sir... short jump, warp 1. ::activates the warp engines ever so briefly::

Host NightWind says:
ACTION:  The wave slowly begins to catch up to the Huron… a groan of tearing metal can be painfully heard throughout the ship.
