Star Trek: A Call To Duty – USS Huron
Season Six, Episode Twenty One (Mission #235)
“Beyond Argonia II, Part 15”
Stardate 10504.02

Mission Summary:
The CNS, CIV, and CMO try to bring order to the madness in the Cargo Bay with the refugees, making them comfortable, getting them food, and moving them to another area of the ship to prepare for more refugees.  The CNS provides entertainment for the children by bringing in Baby, her pet Ocelot, for amusement.  The CEO tries to maintain power to the overworked transporters.  The FCO, OPS, and CTO monitor the planet and discover a shift in the tectonic plates, which has created a tsunami and a need to work quickly to evacuate the remaining refugees on the planet.  Meanwhile the SO monitors the planet, looking into the tectonic activity and exploring a cave with sulfur springs.  

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
USS Huron 10504.02

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
SUMMARY:  The loading of the ship has been going on for six hours now.  Two hours after their arrival, the next ships - the Perseus and Erie - arrived, and were also loading up the refugees.  Once done loading, two days of travel waited, and then the offloading.  How long was this going to take six ships to do all this?   But, help is on the way.   SFC is sending even more ships.  It seems the nature of the rescue has become clear... there are a LOT of people.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Sitting in front of her console, trying to make sure they won't run out of room for refugees.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, trying to keep up with the incoming reports of minor incidents.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  The peace still holding, sheriff?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Nothing major to report yet.  A lot of nervous people, but that's not unexpected.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Trying to keep order in the cargo bay.  She takes out her medical scanner and scans a couple that appear to be slightly distressed.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Sighs.::  CTO:  I'm more concerned about how nervous they are going to be in transit and at the other end of the line.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  How is your end holding up?  Any more discussions?  ::Smiling at him.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  I do have an, um, unconventional idea that might help our capacity problems.

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  Sir, I'm receiving word from the other ships. They've arrived and are beginning evacuation.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  So far everyone seems to be behaving themselves.

SO_Jewel says:
@::As soon as they have landed, she is out the door, her team not too far behind along with the binars.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  The Sagittarius, Potomac and... uhm, the other one?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Walks over to the transporter control console and makes a note of the readings.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  I should hope so!   I know I wouldn't cross you, well...  ::Grinning impishly.::

SO_Jewel says:
@::Feels the earth tremble under her feet as she steps onto the dirt.  Turns to look back at the others.::  Okkk....

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Gives an analgesic hypospray to the woman who has requested something for her headache.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  As well as the Perseus and the Erie.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Smiles back at the CNS.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Thank you.  ::Turns around.::  CTO:  Let me hear it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  The Ferengi.  If the planetary authorities agreed, we could trade the planet for passage; perhaps give acreage per trip or something.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*OPS*:  Bridge, this is Lt. Cmdr Sparks, please check your readings for the transporter systems.  I want to be sure we are in sync.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you can smile?  ::Chuckling.::

SO_Jewel says:
@::Wiping the beads of sweat that pop onto her brow, she looks around.::  Is it getting hotter or is it me?  ::Shakes her head.::  Same drill... be back here in an hour.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  We don't have to tell them the planet's breaking up, and they might not stop to wonder why...if we were lucky.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Makes her way through the crowded room to where the CIV and CNS are standing.::  CIV/CNS:  Well .. it looks as though this is as orderly as it is going to get.  ::Sighs.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Frowns.::  CTO:  And you think they would not wonder why 700,000 people are just upping and leaving?

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  Sensors pick up some minor tectonic shifting on the planet's southern hemisphere.

OPS_Salvatore says:
*CEO*:  Confirmed.  Transporters are working within specs.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  I think you are right, and a lot of the orderliness I think we can attribute to our friend here.  ::Pointing at the CIV.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  "The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward", isn't that...uh oh, something's shifting on the planet.  Southern Hemisphere.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Keeping her balance, she scans the area.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Smiles down at a little kid with a scared look on his face.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Smiles at the CIV.::  CNS:  Well, ::giggles:: have you taken a look at him?  Would you want to mess with that.  ::Grins.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Notify transporter rooms to focus on that area.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Not sure how major it is.  I think it's minor, but this ain't exactly my specialty.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*OPS*:  Just keep an eye on the power levels will you?  The machinery is under a great deal of stress with the constant use.  Report any changes immediately please.  Sparks out.

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Works her console, instructing the transporter chiefs to change their priorities.::

Little Kid says: 
:: Screams and hides from the scary looking Klingon.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Your suggestion is, how can I put it... novel.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Taps a button on her console, bringing up a miniature power distribution to sit in the corner.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Well almost orderly.  Sorry, but I think you have just scared the little one!

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  Yep, Q'tor.  I believe that little child will not be stepping out of line any time soon.  ::Smiles.::

SO_Jewel says:
@::She looks up as the cry of the birds are suddenly silenced along with the rest of the forest.::  Self:  Uh-oh...  ::Taps her commbadge.::  *Team1*:   All, hold on...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Desperate times for desperate measures.  Never know, they might think they can fix it, and they get a planet for a few weeks of work.  Okay, computer's analyzing the readings; activity registers about a 7.0 on the Richter scale.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Shrugs.::  CNS/CMO:  I guess it goes with the territory.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  There is a bit of panic and chaos coming from the inhabitants where the shifting took place.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Child:  Come here.  ::Reaching down she picks him up.::  See, he won't hurt you.  He is just a big Teddy Bear!  ::Reaching over she pats Q'Tor on the arm.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  A seven?  That's hefty.  ::Thinks about the suggestion.::  I'm just trying to think how SFC would react to such a suggestion.

SO_Jewel says:
@*OPS*:  Sir, there has been a shift down here.  Can you tell me where the epic center is and whether it is coming from a subduction plate or a transform one?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Grins a big toothy Klingon-grin at the child.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::The little boy clings to her neck, almost cutting off her air.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
Child:  Easy now.  He won't hurt you.  He's just like a big teddy bear.  Let's not choke our counselor.  ::Tries to pry the child's fingers off the CNS's neck.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
*SO*:  Checking.... it was a subduction plate.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The child starts screaming.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
Self:  That worked well.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Q'Tor, why don't you show him your "small" dagger?  ::Turning so the boy can see him.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Looks at the CNS.::  CNS:  Dagger?  You think that is wise with him screaming?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves around engineering giving her crew a pep talk as she goes.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  I didn't say it was a good suggestion.  ::Smiles.::  But what would they have to loose?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Pulls his House crest from his sleeve and hands it to the child.::  Little Kid:  A shiny for you.

SO_Jewel says:
@*OPS*:  Near the coast?  If so, please send a possible tsunami warning to the government.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Child:  Hush now.  How can a big boy like you be afraid of him?  See, he is letting you hold something very special for him.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Come now, Ec'Thel'Ion.  I know Ferengi are greedy and acquisitive, but with earthquakes and Federation ships around... even they would do the math.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  I don't have a "small" dagger.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The child stops screaming and looks curiously at the crest.

OPS_Salvatore says:
*SO*:  On top of it.  Almost slipped my mind; thanks!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  FCO:  Probably not.  Maybe they'd think the minerals are enough?  Wish I had a better idea.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Sends a warning to the Argonian government about the potential tsunami.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Why don't you take him, and show him around.  ::Holding the boy towards the Klingon.::  I think it might help, don't you?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  How are the transporters holding up, Holly?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Did Ensign Jewel say Tsunami?  That wouldn't be good.

SO_Jewel says:
@*OPS*:  Thank you.  Please send the warning to any of our people as well.  My team should be far enough inland... though we felt it here.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Put off guard.::  CNS:  Um... are you sure that is wise?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  It’s a good one.  I'm just unsure how SFC would react.

OPS_Salvatore says:
CTO:  It's a possibility, Sir.  I've already warned the government and given them an estimate for location and timing.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  Look on the bright side .. uh .. I'm not sure what the bright side is right now, but I'm sure it will come to you.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Sure it is, and will set a good example for the other children to know that you won't hurt them.  ::Handing the boy to him.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
*SO*:  Will do.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Stops what she's doing as Roz's voice comes over her combadge.::  
*FCO*:  We're putting a strain on them Commander, but I'll try and hold them together for you. Any idea how much longer it's going to take?

SO_Jewel says:
@::Looks around her uncomfortably, hoping the sounds of the forest return soon.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Sends an alert to all ground teams' tricorders, indicating the potentiality for a tsunami at the estimated time and location.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Is any department not over stretched to the point we could put someone on scanners to look for Tsunami?  From the way that planet looks, I'm willing to bet it won't be the last quake that hits.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Sydney, I just had a thought.  Perhaps if I brought Baby down here, it might distract the children.  What do you think?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says: 
CNS:  Yes, that would be wonderful.  Do you think that Baby would be frightened by all the people?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Taking the child by the hand.::  CNS/CMO:  Where are the boy’s parents?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  We're just over the halfway mark.  Should we throttle back for a bit, or will the two days transit be enough to get them ready for debarking procedures?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  Why don't you just ask him to take you to meet his parents?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  I think that is your task now to find them Q'Tor.  ::Grinning up at him.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  Would you like me to go with you?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Science department?  Or are they all already busy with monitoring the current situation?

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  A tsunami begins for form several miles out to sea.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Crinkles up his face.:: CNS:  Fine!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  I'd like to cut back for a while Roz, but let's see what happens over the next hour or so.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Listens to the CTO and FCO and schedules a detailed scan of the anticipated strike area.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CMO:  That might be a good idea, Doctor.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  Let me know if it gets to that point.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Not sure, but I think everyone's got plenty.  Computer could likely be set for an automated search for them.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Sighs sadly as she continues her work.  All the life on this world... and their Noah's arc would only save the humanoids.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Squatting down in front of the kid.::  Child:  My name is Q'tor.  What is your name?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  I don't think so.  If you can hold the fort down here, I will run up and get her from my quarters.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Do that.  ::Turns again.::  OPS:  Can you keep a watch too?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  Will do, Roz.  Holly out.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CNS:  Sure thing.  You go get Baby, and I'll meet you back once we find the child's parents.

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  Already scheduled it, Sir.  ::Smiles to herself.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Let Marie know I will be right back please.  ::Turning, she rushes out of the cargo bay.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Smiles.::  OPS:  Anticipation... I like that.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  On it.  ::Initiates an automated computer monitor to look for major tidal changes centered around the quake, trying to keep half an eye on the incoming security reports.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  It's in the job description, after all.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Ec'Thel'Ion, I'll put the proposal together, and send it to SFC.  They can only laugh and tell me I'm silly, or go with it.

Little Kid says: 
CIV:  Devlin, and I'm this many years old.  ::Holds up three fingers.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  I'll be right with you.  I'm just going to let Marie know where Randi is headed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Running to the TL she enters, then waits for the ride to her deck, where she exits, running down the corridor to her quarters.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Nods to the CMO.::  Devlin:  Well Devlin, do you know where your parents are at?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Heads over to Marie.::  Marie:  Marie, Randi told me to let you know that she had to leave for a moment.  But she will be back shortly.  She went to go get Baby in hopes Baby will help with the younger children.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Shrugs.::  FCO:  That's all we can do, that and hope for a miracle.

SO_Jewel says:
@::With care, gathers samples of the plant life, handing them to 10100 who wears a very patient face.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  You should show me that document.  I think I've forgotten parts of it.  ::Grins and sits down in the Big Chair, trying to think of a way to put the proposal to SFC without it seeming to exploit the Ferengi greediness.::

Devlin says:
::Points into the crowd of people.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Rushing into her quarters, she waits for Baby to leap on her shoulders.::  Baby:  Well, looks like we have a job to do Baby!  ::Holding four paws.  She turns and leaves her quarters, going back to the cargo bay.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  I'll track it down for you as soon as we're en route.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Pauses to take some water samples along a small stream, standing to wipe the sweat from her brow.::  10100:  I hope it doesn't get much warmer then this or we will need to go to night time mode.

CIV_Q`tor says:
Devlin:  Right.  If I hold you up on my shoulders do you think you might be able to see them?

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  A few minor aftershocks follow.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Exiting the TL she hurries to the cargo bay, where she see Q'Tor lifting the boy to his shoulders.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Thanks, I think.  ::Thinks a moment, types a few words and looks at the viewscreen.:: *CMO*:  Roznine to Logan.  How is everything with medical, Doctor?

Devlin says:
::Shrugs.::

SO_Jewel says:
@::An irritating beeping sound has her looking at her tricorder, though an aftershock has her suddenly in the water.::  Darn...

CIV_Q`tor says:
Devlin:  Well let’s give it a shot.  ::Lifts the boy up and sets him on his shoulders.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
*FCO*:  We're holding up well Commander.  Order has been established.  Randi just went to get Baby to see if Baby can settle some of the smaller children who seem to be a little uneasy about the new environment.  But for the most part, we're all doing well here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks down as the Computer beeps.::  FCO:  Sir, big trouble, Ensign Jewel was right, Tsunami forming, about 2 hours to impact.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CMO*:  Good to hear.  Tell Randi it’s good thinking.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
*FCO*:  Aye, Commander.  Will do.  Logan out.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Bit disgruntled.::  10100:  Does nothing phase you?  ::Stands up, the bottom half of her dripping wet and climbs onto the bank.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Gets up and walks to Tactical.::  CTO:  Show me the projected area of impact.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Her tricorder still beeping she checks to see it is a reminder for her to check in.::

Devlin says:
::Giggles as he feels like a big people now looking out over the crowd.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Cringes that she didn't think to look so early and checks the sensors to see if they'll be able to evacuate the area in time.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Seeing the CMO she walks over to her and Marie.::  CMO:  If you could help me round up the smaller children, Marie and I will set up a small enclosure for them and Baby.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Okay, putting on screen now.  ::Inputs the data.::  Now what can we do about it?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CNS:  Sure.  I think I seen Q'tor .. over there ::Points to the boy towering above the crowd.::

SO_Jewel says:
@*FCO*:  Sir, just checking in.  Our current estimate for the planet is 6 weeks, assuming it does not settle down and return to its normal orbit.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Walks through the crowd carrying the boy on his shoulders hoping that his parents spot him.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  Let's get some empty crates and barrels.  We can make a play area.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Walks over to where Q'tor is.::  CIV:  I'm going to round up the children.  Randi is here with Baby.  Did you find the boy's parents yet?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Studies the image.::  OPS:  Lieutenant, can we clear that area in time if we use all available transporters?

Marie says: 
CNS:  Got ya, a jungle gym setup!  :;Grins and begins to gather up some people to help.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*SO*:  Thank you, Crystal.  What is your thoughts on that happening?

CIV_Q`tor says:
CMO:  Not yet.  Would you like me to make an announcement for the loose children to gather where their parents can find them?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  Aye.  That would be a good idea.  And if you could tell them we have a surprise for them and will be meeting in that corner over there.  ::Points to where the CNS is standing with Baby.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  If we use every transporter we've got, sure.  I'll inform the transporter chiefs.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Props on a barrel.::  Baby, you have your work cut out for you.  Watch these little ones as if they were your own cubs.  ::Randi can sense Baby's thoughts, as if she were saying to Randi, "Well of course I will."::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Good.  I'll let Engineering know.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Sorry, my love.  I forgot that you are a mother.  ::Stroking her pet in the way of an apology to her.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Sends another message to the transporter rooms, telling them to reprioritize on the threatened area.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Any ideas on how we could break that sucker up?  What would happen if it ran into a few explosions?  Would it make it worse or help?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Shows Devlin the animal with the Counselor.::  Devlin:  Would you like to go with the nice doctor here to go pet the animals?

SO_Jewel says:
@*FCO*:  Same as before, Sir.  The planet is going through some major tectonic activity, possibly due to the convection currents in the mantle... why the changes in that, we have yet figured out.  But each one is strong enough to shift the planet, which is altering its orbit.  It is its orbit we would need to correct and quite honestly, Sir, I don't know how to move an entire planet.

Devlin says:
::Squeals happily.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Takes the little boy's hand.::  Devlin:  Come with me, honey.  Maybe you can be Randi's little helper.  ::Smiles warmly.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
CMO:  I'm going to take that as a yes.  ::Hands the boy to the doctor.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  Ec'Thel'Ion... get Randi, and your security on higher alert.  This could cause panic. ::thinks::  Tractor beams?  They can attract or repel.  Do a simulation and let me know.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Baby:  Another month, and you will have your own cubs to worry about.  But for now, human ones will have to do.  ::Watches as the area is being set up and how quickly Marie has accomplished the task.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CIV:  I'll catch you in a few minutes.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*SO*:  I don't know either, Crystal.  Keep on monitoring the situation and keep me updated.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Finds a cargo crate to stand on and looks out over the crowd.::

SO_Jewel says:
@*FCO*:  Aye, Sir...

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
~~~ CNS: Randi, I am bringing Devlin over.  Do you think he could be your little helper? ~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  We can start gathering the little ones now.  Baby and I are ready!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CNS*:  Counselor, we have a major problem developing.  There's a good-sized Tsunami about to hit the coast.  We can get the people there beamed out in time, but they are likely to be even more agitated than the ones already aboard.

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~CMO:  Sounds like a winner to me!~~~

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
*CEO*:  Holly, bit of a problem heading our way.  We need the transporters at top speed for the next two hours.  There is an area that will be hit by an tsunami in the next two hours and we need to clear that area.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CTO*:  Understood, will advise everyone here to be ready.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Yells out.::  Crowd:  I MUST HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Waits for the crowd to quiet down and listen.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Gathers a few other children and takes them to where Randi is standing.::  
Devlin:  Devlin, why don't you go right in there, and help out Randi.  I'm sure she could use some help.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Lieutenant, contact planetary control and have them issue a warning to that area.

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  The entire crowd turns to listen to the CIV.

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  Already done, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  Roz, have operations re-direct all power to transporters.  I'll try and give her a boost from some of the non-essential systems.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Peers at the woman.::  OPS:  Are you psychic?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Sydney, I need your help and Q'Tor.  A tsunami is going to hit one of the coasts.  We need to be ready for panicking people.

CIV_Q`tor says:
Crowd:  WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE YOUNGER CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE BECOME SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES TO GATHER OVER HERE.  ::Indicates the corner where the CNS and CMO are entertaining a small group with Baby.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CNS:  Understood, Randi.  Are they going to be beaming more people in here?  ::Looks around the already crowded room.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Motions to her staff to begin rerouting all non-essential systems power for the transporters when needed.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO:  No, Sir.  I just listen.

CIV_Q`tor says:
Crowd:  PARENTS, IF YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR CHILDREN LOOK FOR THEM THERE.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Yes, and we need to get the people in here, out.  Start putting them in rooms, anywhere on the ship that will hold them.  Can you handle that?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Starting some simulations, but at this range, the Tractor's wouldn't do much; like placing a finger in front of a wave.  Maybe if we could go into the atmosphere and had a dozen ships, but that's both theoretical and impossible.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CNS:  I can.  But I am just a single person.  Perhaps we should get security to assist.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Well, I commend you on that.  ::Turns to the CTO again.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  We will need them here.  Can you get some of your staff to help?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  It was a thought... not a good one, but a thought nonetheless.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Comes to a cave where heat is rising from it.::   Hmmm...  10100:  Go ahead and take those samples back.  I want to check this out.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  I'll see what I can do, though.  I hate to just assume it can't be done.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
CNS:  I can.  I will need to call in another shift to assist.  My department is already flooded with medical calls.  I will see what I can do.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Steps down from the crate and heads over to where the CNS and CMO are with the children.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  Thank you, Sydney.  We are being stretched so thin, but look at the alternatives... none.

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
*All Medical Personnel*:  Attention all medical personal on Beta shift.  Please report to cargo bay immediately.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Runs simulations with one hand and tries to keep Security on top of problems with the other.::  Self:  I'd sooo much prefer to be one of those in the fire right now.  Oh well, that's next shift.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Q'Tor, I need your help.  A tsunami is going to hit one of the coasts, which means we will be having panicking people.  Can you stand by the beam down point please?

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Finishes the proposal of getting the Ferengi in to help and transmits it to SFC.::

SO_Jewel says:
@::Heads into the cave and toward the back where the smell of sulfur is coming from.::  Hmmm...  ::Pulls out some cloth from her med kit and wraps it around her forehead, then continues downward.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Finishes the last of the shut downs and decides to head for the bridge.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Shouting.::  Crowd:  Those without children, we will be taking you to other areas of the ship to make room for more refugees.  ::Sees medical personnel standing by the entranceway.::  Please follow me.

CIV_Q`tor says:
CNS:  As you wish.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CIV:  Thank you.  I don't think I would cause trouble if I saw you standing there!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Enters the lift.::  Computer:  Bridge.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  Looks like we are in for it.  Do you want to handle the children, or the new people beaming in?

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Heads over to the exit of the cargo bay.  A crowd of about 50 people follow her.::  
Medic:  Take this group of people to the mess hall.  See if they need anything to eat while you are there.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Bee*:  Why do I keep getting reports of refugees tripping to get out of your shuttlebay?  Is there a reason they're moving so fast they can't keep control?

SO_Jewel says:
@::Hearing a stone’s crunch behind her, she turns around quickly to see 10100.  She starts to say something until she notices his hands are empty of her samples.  With a shrug, she turns back around and continues.::  10100:  Ya know... given the depth we are heading, it sure is rather bright.

Marie says:
CNS:  I think you better stay here with Baby.  She is pregnant and the children might get too rough with her.  If I need you I will holler.

Medic says: 
CMO:  Aye, Ma'am.  Right away.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Nods to Marie, and settles down on the floor with the children.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Makes his way back through the crowd to the beam in point.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Watches as the room starts to thin out.::

Bee says:
*CTO*:  Orders said to keep the people moving.  I thought it was a good pace, boss.  Guess I misjudged Argonian foot speed, sorry.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Children:  Let's all take our seats on the floor, and I will tell you about Baby; where she comes from, and how I got her.  ::Grinning as the children gather round her, and sit down on the deck.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::On the way spies a young man sneaking something out of an unsuspecting woman’s bag and grabs him by the back of the collar.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps onto the bridge and heads over to the Command chair.::  FCO:  Well I have things running smoothly in engineering for the most part, but you realize that the transporters are working overtime, don't you?

CNS-McIntyre says:
Children:  Baby comes from a planet called Earth, from the continent known as North America, and a state called Texas in North America.

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Takes the object from the man and returns it to the woman.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Nods.::  CEO:  I am very well aware of it.  I just hope we can keep this up and not do major repairs every time we are in transit going to and fro.

SO_Jewel says:
@::The further she goes, she notes the rising heat, which now quickly dries the sweat from her body, her lungs feeling tight.::  10100:  We should probably go back now...  ::But keeps on going, her curiosity pulling her.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Drags the man to the nearest security officer.::  SEC:  Take this p'taH and put him in an airlock.  If he gives you any trouble... open it.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Children:  Her species is known as Ocelots.  They are a wild cat that roam in Texas.  And as you can see, they make very good pets.  ::Grinning at Baby, while little hands are petting her.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
FCO:  At this rate, the system is going to need an overhaul as soon as possible.  I'd like a couple of weeks to really give them a going over.

SO_Jewel says:
@::Comes to a glowing opening, a furnace blast of heat exiting.::

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION:  There is a power surge in TR1.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CEO:  Will they hold up until this crisis is over?

Sec Fred says: 
CIV:  Air lock?  Um, I think we'll settle for the brig.  Might be a good idea to keep them all in a secure location... and to find a way to let their authorities know.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Children:  When I first came onboard this ship, I was very lonely.  Good friends got her for me as a present, and to keep me company.  As you can see, she is very good company!

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Turns the next set of people over to the 2nd medic.::  Medic2:  Take this group of people to the mess hall as well.  Let the first medic know that when they are done eating, he should start taking people to the holodecks.

OPS_Salvatore says:
FCO/CEO:  I'm getting a power surge in Transporter Room 1, rerouting the signal!

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS:  Cause?

Medic2 says:
CMO:  Consider it done, Sydney.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Rushes over to the operations console.::  OPS:  Let me see that.

SO_Jewel says:
@Self:  Whoa... talk about movie style...  ::She moves slowly into the room toward the glowing rock.::

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Gets up before she's pushed out of the chair.::

CIV_Q`tor says:
Sec Fred:  Whatever you decide is best.  He's lucky I don't just cut off his hands right here.

Sec Fred says:
::Takes the suspect to the side and calls another officer to pull this one to the Brig.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  We might want to ask the planet to have a few police agency people on each trip; someone to process any "unruly" guests.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi continues to tell them the story of getting Baby and her adventures on the Huron.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Takes OPS' chair and checks the readings.::

CMO_LtJG_Logan says:
::Continues to clear the cargo bay turning refugees over to the hands of medical to take them to the holodecks and lounges after they have received food.::

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO:  We should have thought of that earlier.  ::Sighs.::  Could you do that please?

CIV_Q`tor says:
::Stands by the beam in point to await the arrival of "panicky" people.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Pounds the console.::  All:  I knew this would happen.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Of course.

CIV_Q`tor says:
Anyone within earshot:  It's all happening at the zoo.

OPS_Salvatore says:
::Looks at the console.::  FCO:  It's an overloading console; we may have to shut down that pad..
