Prelude: Last time on Star Trek: ACTD Kootenai Station……

With the assistance of the Seahawk Away Team the Erie crew were able to exit the domed city through the Great Gates.  A young Madestian female, attempting to stop Cadet Ferrone from exiting the forbidden gates, rushed past the gates and immediately began a rapid aging process, which rendered her to ashes in a matter of minutes.

The crew were met outside the gates by Seahawk CTO Surik and CSO T'Pel who provided weapons and tricorders to the senior staff and led them to a hillside entrance to a cavern where they were met by Seahawk XO Hiromoto and CEO McPherson who provided COM badges to the senior staff then transported back to the Seahawk.

Captain Pavielion and all crew except the senior staff have been transported back aboard the Erie.

The Erie crew then entered into the cavern entrance, which led them deep underground and under the domed city.  They reached a dead end and scans indicated life signs beyond the dirt wall.

CSO Taliza immediately began directing phaser fire at the wall, as did the rest of the crew.  A large hole has been carved into the wall but they have not yet broken through.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the phaser at his feet.  Raises his foot up in anger at it, ready to crush it to bits.  Then shakes his head and puts his foot down as he picks up the phaser::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stand next to the dirt wall and CEO Corjet::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Scans wall with tricorder to check on progress of tunnel::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: I'm almost through the wall, Sir.  I can feel the rock giving way.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Picks up his mug and takes a drink, puts down another mission report::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Continues to fire, but careful not to puncture the wall::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Careful, we don't want the ceiling caving in on us!

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Perhaps they should stop firing also.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: It won't, Sir.  I'm going over the walls, fusing them in place.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Keep scanning the cavern for signs of a possible cave in while he's drilling.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Eagerly waiting for them to make a hole large enough to crawl through::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs deeply, disgustedly:: XO: My phaser has burnt out. ::Turns to the Counselor::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Several large boulders are in the wall.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Becomes uncomfortable after reading the last report, really feels he should be down with his crew.  Grabs a phaser from his wall locker and exits onto the Bridge::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks: Hmm….::

CEO_Corjet says:
CNS: Mine died.  ::Looks at it and sighs.  Then turns to the wall::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Stops firing:: XO: Sir, we could blow apart the boulders, but I'm not sure what would happen.  What do you suggest?

CNS_Alana says:
::Scans the cavern, walking away from the whole created by phaser fire::

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Steady, Randy. Nalis needs you to be Commander Corjet of Starfleet right now.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: What do your scans show?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods as he straightens up, standing at attention:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks scans::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Leaves a Lieutenant in command and hits the COM panel::  *XO* Commander, I will be re-joining the away team shortly, I will bring a small ESF detachment in case they are needed.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears his Captain and smiles with hope::

OPS_Danforth says:
@<Lieutenant. Neyland>: CO: Sir, I have a team of three ready to beam down with you.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Those boulders are about two meters in diameter about six times the diameter of a Terran bowling ball.

XO_Kerst says:
*CO* Understood, Sir. I recommend you bring some digging gear with you. We've hit a wall that we're having trouble tunneling through.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Steps onto a turbolift::  Neyland: Please contact ESF and have two teams gather shovels and pick axes from the cargo bay and meet me in Transporter Room 1.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks around for something to do, looks at his fellow crew and sighs as he doesn't see much to do.  Heads closer towards the hole::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, may I suggest either Randy or Alana try to contact the kids, ask them to clear away from this wall?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stops in his tracks, looking to Kerst as he listens to Taliza::

OPS_Danforth says:
@<Lieutenant. Neyland>: :Follows the CO and calls down to Jenny to bring a second ESF team and bring the shovels::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Negative, I don't want those kids blindly digging. Besides, where do tell them to dig?

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Just want to remind you that only Randy can actually send a message to his children, I can only sense their feelings.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Steps off the turbolift and walks to TR1, enters, opens a wall locker, and removes all the flashlights inside, places them into a nearby duffle bag::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I didn't say for them to dig.  I suggested they get away from the wall.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Sir, should we continue firing?

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Sorry, I miss understood you.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Wait for the ESF to arrive with some digging equipment.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Wonders where the Commander learned his Federation Standard::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Danforth's phaser is almost spent.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Starts firing with his own phaser::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks, hmm....my phaser is almost dead::

OPS_Danforth says:
@<Lieutenant. Neyland>: CO: Sir, Team 1 and Team 2 reporting for duty.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::The ESF team to arrives.  He makes sure they have plenty of phasers and phaser rifles on hand as well::  ESF: All right, load the equipment onto the pad and transport down.

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Randy, try to contact Nalis.  If he can, have him and the other children move to the center of the room. That should get them away from the walls, especially since we don't know which way to tell them we're coming from.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACITON: Cadet Ferrone's phaser fire begins blasting at the boulders.  Small chunks of rock begin flying backwards.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Aye, Sir, will do.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Ducks from the blasts::

OPS_Danforth says:
CIV: Cadet!  Stop firing!

XO_Kerst says:
CIV: Cadet, who told you to start firing!?

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Stops firing::  XO: Sir, I thought it would be a good idea!

OPS_Danforth says:
CIV: Mr. Ferrone, I know you're anxious to retrieve the children, but we need to be careful now.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Assists the ESF team in loading the equipment containers onto the transporter pad, inputs the coordinates into the transporter console and sets a thirty second delay::  ESF: All right, everyone onto the pad!

XO_Kerst says:
CIV: Cadet you will secure that weapon until such time as you are told to use it. Is that understood?

OPS_Danforth says:
@<ESF>: ::Climbs onto the pad next to the CO and is ready to beam down::

CEO_Corjet says:
~~~::Closes his eyes, uses all his mental abilities and the training his wife has taught him to reach his children:: Nalis: Nalis?  Da coming Nalis!  Da coming!  Sisters Nalis?  Move to middle of the room. ::Hopes he's getting through to him, but knows he's too young added with his own inexperience knows he's probably not getting through:: ~~~

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Holsters his phaser and stands at attention:: XO: Aye, Sir!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
@::Waits for the transporter system to engage and beam them in front of the cavern::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO and the ESF team, along with all the equipment is transported down into the cavern.

OPS_Danforth says:
@<Barnum>: ::Feels herself being beamed down to the surface::

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Your son may be too young to understand what you tell him, try to contact an older child.

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: I know we're all under stress and anxious to reach the children, but we can't blindly bust through everything.  If we do we might hurt the children or ourselves. We're Starfleet officers and we will act as such.

OPS_Danforth says:
<Neyland>: CO: Sir, may I suggest we go first?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to scan through the wall::

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Just concentrate and try to contact any mind that will let you in.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Focuses upon that one memory he has of moving Nalis out of the way and setting him in the middle of the room so he could clean up.  Focuses upon setting Nalis and the kittens to the middle of the room and tries with all he can to project that image to Nalis::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for the ESF team to gather the equipment containers, quickly enters into the caverns::

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: I feel like there is a change in the desires of the children, Randy, perhaps your thought projections are starting to work.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears everyone but doesn't respond to them as he continues to focus.  Tries again, reaching out to anyone who can listen:: ~~~ALL: Hello?~~~

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Activates a flashlight and draws his phaser, not sure of where the team is or what is ahead::

OPS_Danforth says:
::ESF lifts the containers over their shoulders and proceeds down the cavern, Jenny takes the lead to protect the CO::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks over to CEO and touches his shoulder softly::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Has his eyes still closed, but turns towards the Counselor and nods, trying to let her know that he understands::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CNS and the CEO hear the cries of the children again in their minds.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*XO* Commander Kerst, where is the away team located?  We are inside the cavern trying to locate you.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to see if the kids are moving away from the walls::

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins to hear the whine of the chime of the children in her head...again::

XO_Kerst says:
*CO* We're at the end, just keep following it down and you'll reach us.

OPS_Danforth says:
<ESF Barnum> CO: Sir, I have them on sensors.  Tracking their COM badges now.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Says with frustration on his face:: XO: I hear them crying again.  That's about all I can... ascertain at the moment, Sir. ::Redoubles his efforts::

XO_Kerst says:
::Watches the CEO and CNS try to make contact with the children::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
ESF Barnum: Acknowledged, as soon as we arrive unpack the shovels and begin digging.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Does your tricorder tell you what's on the other side of this wall?

OPS_Danforth says:
<ESF Barnum>: CO: Aye, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Just the 500 children.  No guards.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Quickens his pace, wanting to reach the Away Team quickly::

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Strange, I don't like it.  After we open the wall nobody goes through until I give the “Okay”, understood?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO and the ESF teams approach the Erie crew.   They can hear their voices up ahead.

OPS_Danforth says:
<ESF Barnum> CO: There they are, Sir!  ::Begins picking up the pace and breaking into a trot::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Aye, Sir!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears murmuring ahead, shines his light and sees the away team::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, who will scout ahead?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Re-focuses upon that image of moving Nalis in the middle of the room and focuses with all his pah as he continues to project that image to Nalis or anyone else that can hear or sense his images:: 

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices the light, turns to see CO and ESF:: CO: Captain!

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: I want good sensor readings before I send anybody living in there. I have some....fears about what the chamber does.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over at CEO:: CEO: Give yourself a rest for a few moments.  We will be going through the wall shortly, so rest your mind now!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
ESF: Set the gear down. ::Turns to the crew::  All: Grab a flashlight and a shovel, begin digging at the wall.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, I'm glad the ESF is here, but I must point out the potential danger to yourself and request you return to the ship.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs with weariness::  CNS: Yes, I have to. ::Sits down on the floor against the wall and rubs the sides of his head::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, there are two-meter diameter boulders in our path.

OPS_Danforth says:
<ESF Neyland> CO: Yes, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Dirt and rock are piling up at the entrance to the hole.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Just crying of the children.  I hope they or someone gets the image or message I was trying to convey to them about moving to the middle of the room.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Shakes his head::  XO: This mission is more than a simple risk, there are 500 children and I am going to see them get home, now grab a phaser rifle from the equipment pack and get ready to use it if there are any hostiles behind that wall.

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: I ...know, I feel them too and it hurts like heck!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to her and nods:: CNS: Yes, it does.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The ESF team grabs the shovels and picks and begins chipping away at the boulders.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Understood, Sir.  But understand I wouldn't be doing my job as first officer if I didn't try to keep you out of harm's way.

CNS_Alana says:
::Rubbing her head also::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: I understand, which is why I am giving you the task of covering us with phaser fire in case anything bad comes through.  ::Looks at the boulders::  Well, they are not too big, we can break through.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Have two members of the ESF team cover the rest of us with phaser rifles as we dig.  ::Grabs a shovel from the case and begins chipping at the boulders::

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Motions for Neyland to assign two of the team to protect the crew::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Our scans indicate no other life signs except the children in the chamber beyond. We're most of the way through the wall, but we've hit some large boulders. I'm hesitant to simply blast them for fear of a cave in or injuring the children with flying debris.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues scanning the wall and what's behind it::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Begins chipping away at the boulders as well::

XO_Kerst says:
CIV: Help move some of this debris away from the opening.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Continues digging::  XO: If we cannot break through the boulders, we will try a sudden and quick phaser rifle burst, it will be enough to weaken and break up the boulder, but not long enough to break through the wall and hit anyone on the other side.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: After several minutes a hole large enough to put a hand through opens on the wall.  A beam of light shines through the hole onto the cavern floor.  The humming of computers can be heard.

CIV_Ferrone says:
::Is helping the away team obviously::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the hole form:: CO/XO: Sirs!  We've penetrated the wall!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gets up and walks to his Captain:: CO: I've only had minimal contact.  Just them crying and sobbing.  ::Frowns a bit, then grabs a shovel and starts digging too:: I've tried to project an image of moving them to the middle of the room as to keep them out of harm’s way as per Executive Officer Kerst's orders.  ::Grunts as he digs::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Whips out his tricorder and sticks it through the hole::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: After we dig through I recommend a full sensor sweep with tricorders before entering the chamber. I fear what its true purpose is given what we saw in the city. I know we need to get the children out, but I want to minimize the risk to the rescuers.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Backs off, lets the ESF continue digging, picks up his phaser and waits to see what is on the other side::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Careful! What do the readings indicate?

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks at CEO as he tries to rise from the floor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Get a phaser rifle and wait for us to break through, hopefully your children are all right.

CNS_Alana says:
CEO: Careful, go slowly!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Sirs, permission to join Mr. Danforth and the ESF?

XO_Kerst says:
::Hefts phaser rifle in the ready position, aimed at the hole::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses and looks towards the hole. Reflexively drops the shovel and steps one step forward toward the hole, but stops in his tracks:: CO: Aye, Sir. ::Turns around and goes to one of the other officers and grabs a phaser rifle.  Checks it and arms it then takes his post::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Agreed, as soon as the hole is big enough to allow us through we will perform full scans.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO/OPS: You'll join me if we go in.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO/XO: Sir!  I've got the children!  They're far enough away to not be injured, but they are right there!

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands and begins to scan again, listening in her mind for the children's thoughts::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Fights with himself to run into the hole after his beloved children, but stands his ground as ordered::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Goes to the entrance of the tunnel on the cavern end::

XO_Kerst says:
CO/CIV: I recommend you stay out of the room. The rejuvenation chamber upstairs affected you two and I don't know what side effects there might be if this room is connected to that one.

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks toward the entrance::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Okay, phaser it open!  ALL: Everyone else, stand back!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes cover:: All: Fire in the hole!

CNS_Alana says:
::Holds her position::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir!  ::Picks up a new phaser and begins opening the hole at an angle to not hurt the children::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The phaser blast breaks open a hole large enough to climb through with a little effort.  Dirt and rock go flying everywhere.  A big dust cloud forms and it becomes hard to breathe.

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Full scans, but do not enter the room!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Picks up a tricorder and looks into the chamber::

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Everyone else, hold for my signal!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Does a full scan of the area near the entrance to the other end::

CNS_Alana says:
::Ducks as the dirt and rock begin to fly and coughs::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Report?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Covers his eyes but continues to look towards the hole::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Still only reading the 500 children.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Lifts shirt over mouth to assist in breathing::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Coughs at the dust, looks through the hole for the children::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Begins going through the hole::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: No other life forms.

XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Listen up OPS, CSO, CNS, you're with me. The rest of you wait here and help as we bring the children out.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Coughs::  XO: Commander, send ESF, OPS, and CIV in first to secure the room.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Danforth enters a large laboratory where several computer consoles are set up and running.  The room is very sterile.  Against the wall is a large, thick glass window.  Behind the window they can see a huge room where hundreds of children are lying unconscious on tables.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Doesn't know why but turns back behind the crew with his phaser rifle pointed, looking for someone to try to jump them from behind as everyone else is looking into the hole::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: GO, GO, GO!  ::Follows through the hole::

CNS_Alana says:
::Follows XO through the entrance::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Dirt and rock chunks litter the floor of the laboratory.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Goes into the lab, sees the kids in the other room::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears his Executive Officer say "Go, Go, Go" and quickly turns back, ready to charge into the room::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Commander!  ::Points to the window::

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: So, what do you think, P'Dar?

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks around the laboratory::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: I see. Get on those computers and see what you can find out.

OPS_Danforth says:
XO: Do we try and go through?  Maybe we should disable the computers first.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Can see the children behind the window, unconscious::  CSO: Lieutenant, can you determine if they are all right?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A tube stretching down from the ceiling filled with blue fluid is attached to each child's arm while another tube pumps out a yellowish fluid.  There is no way into the room where the children are.

CNS_Alana says:
::Sees the children in another room behind a window::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO/CO: I'm on that, Sirs. ::Goes to the computer banks::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Scan the other chamber, is it safe to bust through this glass?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: An old man, looking to be about 92 years old, wearing a white smock shuffles slowly into the chamber and is startled by the crew.  He waves his arms frantically and yells….

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> All: WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?  ::Notices the hole in his laboratory wall and screams:: And WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY WALL???  Get out!!  Get out NOW!!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for one of the ESF members to stand guard at the entrance to the room::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees the old man::  ESF: Detain that man!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the old man and phasers him, set on stun::

CNS_Alana says:
::Thinking as she rushes up toward the window::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: I suggest contacting the Erie and Seahawk and tell them to prepare for a medical emergency, a very large one.  ::Sees the old man::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Falls to the ground from the phaser blast::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Can't wait any longer and charges into the room.  Frantically looks around for Nalis:: Nalis: Nalis? Da here!!!! ::Searches around for his children, then turns to the old man::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns::  CSO: Lieutenant, stop firing!  We need him for questioning.

XO_Kerst says:
Old Man: Who are you? Why are you holding are children? What are you doing to them?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Just one burst, Sir.   ::Returns to the computers::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Do not fire unless he becomes hostile.  ::Sighs::  OPS: Send an ESF team out of the caverns and have the Erie send down a few medical teams.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: I have a thought!  Perhaps what is being done here is that these children are being used to harness the revitalization energy for the chamber in the city!

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over to the old man, tries to see if he is conscious::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Groans::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Issues orders for the ESF to head outside of the cavern, but to remain on alert::

XO_Kerst says:
CNS: That's what I’ve been afraid of since I heard what happened. I've feared they've been harnessing the life energy of the children to keep the city alive.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Stands over the old man::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: And since there is no way into that room from here, maybe the way in is in the city above!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Get all security and ESF out of here now.  I do not want any more firing without my authorization!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Frantically analyzes the computers to try to see what they are doing to the kids::

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Remember that main room, that chamber?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to help the old man to his feet::  CSO: Scan him and make sure he is all right.  ::Turns to OPS::  OPS: Get a medical officer here STAT!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Searches all over the room but still can't find his children.  Then takes a breath and clams down as he walks up to the old man:: Old Man: Where's my children?

XO_Kerst says:
::Motions for the ESF team to stand guard outside the lab::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is outraged at the horrible entrance into the room and the outburst of phaser firing::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sighs, then goes to the old man and scans him with a tricorder::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO helps the old man to his feet although he is unable to stand on his own.  He is barely conscious.

OPS_Danforth says:
::Has medical training and whips out a med kit::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for the crew to stand back and let the old man breathe::

XO_Kerst says:
::Moves to study the widow and the room beyond it::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Get over here and tend to him.

OPS_Danforth says:
CO: Sir, I can give him 3 cc of Pytrotetlyn, but he'll only be able to talk for about 10 minutes.  He might slip into a coma.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks at XO and then toward the CO and the old man:

CEO_Corjet says:
CO: Captain?  Permission to continue looking for my children, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I think my stun setting was too high.  He's not doing so well.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Points::  CEO: They are behind that wall.  ::Bites his tongue::  CSO: Yes, perhaps.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns and almost runs, then turns back to his Captain at attention:: CO: Permission to go to them, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: The computers aren't telling me anything.  I do apologize.  I reacted when the man started yelling.  I thought he might have been a guard.

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks up to old man and CO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Please exit the room.  ::Turns to the XO::  XO: Commander, have ESF come in here, we need to get this man to Sickbay now!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Try to find a way in, but please do not enter or touch the equipment.

XO_Kerst says:
CO; Aye, Sir. ::Goes and gets the ESF team and orders them to take the man to sickbay on the Erie::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: I want this man calm when he regains his bearings, he will not want to see the man who shot him.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Mumbles out loud:: Wha???  What happened?  Who are you??  What have you done??

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, Sir. ::Heads to the other room with his phaser in hand::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Could I ask him a few questions first?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Not yet, Counselor.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, with all due respect, no one else here is qualified enough to work with these computers.  I've worked with computers all my life.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Regains his footing and jerks away from the CO:: CO: Who are you and what have you done to my laboratory?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Old Man: Please, take a breath.  I apologize for your getting shot.

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps back away from old man:: 

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Bites his lip::  XO: Please escort Lieutenant Taliza out of the room, now!

OPS_Danforth says:
::Stands near the Captain and remains calm::

XO_Kerst says:
::Motions the ESF to stand back, but stay watchful::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CO: You Federation military people!  Always going around pushing people around!  ::Waves his hand in the air:: Now answer my question!  Who are you and what have you done?

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks over her shoulder as CEO rushes into the other room, phaser rifle in hand::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Are you hard of hearing?  Please step outside with me, NOW!

OPS_Danforth says:
::Thinks: He knows us!::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Follows XO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Looks at the people near his computers and yells:: Get away from those computers!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Old Man: Do you need medical attention?  ::Hears his question::  Old Man: I am Captain Pavielion of the USS Erie and Kootenai Station, we followed an alien ship here that kidnapped all the children from our station.

XO_Kerst says:
::Steps outside the room with CSO:: CSO: Did you find anything out on those computer before you started shooting?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions for his crew to step back::  Old Man: No one will touch your equipment, I apologize again for your getting shot, the crewmember that did so will be dealt with soon.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Hmm…. he called us “Federation” he knows of us?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Grumbles and walks over to the computers:: Kidnapped, eh?  Well, there they are!  ::Points to the glass window::  Not that you'll get them back!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I got nothing, but I didn't have enough time to crack the code.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks into the other room and enters.  Looks around for his children while standing at the doorway.  Pulls out his tricorder and starts scanning for Bajoran lifesigns::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Suddenly does not feel so kindly for the old man::  Old Man: Why do you say that?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Taps the computer console adjusting the flow of the fluids::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Scan the area, see if you can find out where those tubes go and if there's another way into that far chamber.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Scans the room and sees various lifesigns, but is still looking for Bajoran and Betazoid lifesigns that are his children’s::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO's tricorder picks up Bajoran life signs along with several others.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Moves between the old man and his equipment::  Old Man: I am sorry, but I cannot allow you to continue until we know why the children are here.

CNS_Alana says:
::Listening to old man speak::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, I cannot detect that from here.  I need to get back into that room and decode those computers.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CO: It's too late!  They are already changing!  Can't you see that?  ::Grumbles::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stops as it starts indicating Bajoran lifesigns and starts walking in their direction, constantly adjusting his tricorder, not really looking at his surroundings, more focused upon the readings of the tricorder::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: At the moment that would appear to be difficult ::Looking into the room:: Try your best from here, those tubes have to connect to something.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Too much interference from this cavern.

CNS_Alana says:
<Old Man: Changing? What do you mean?  Why?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Looks at the CEO with his tricorder::  CEO: And what do you think you're looking for with that thing?

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Okay, we'll step into the room, but be discrete!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  

XO_Kerst says:
::Slowly steps back into the room::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Follows the XO::

CNS_Alana says:
::Signaling for XO to come closer quickly::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CNS: They are being made into citizens of Madestia!  What do you think I meant?  Geeshh……::Moves to another console::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Stops in his tracks and turns to the Old Man, anger, frustration and almost hatred burning within his eyes and upon his face:: Old Man: My children!  ::Glares at him::

XO_Kerst says:
::Steps towards the CNS, phaser rifle ready::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Hears the old man say “Citizens of Madestia”::

CNS_Alana says:
Old Man: But why and what do you do to them that makes them ”citizens”?  What is this conditioning for?  XO: Listen to this!

CEO_Corjet says:
Old Man: How would you like it if I did something like this to you? Huh? What if I took you and your family and made them into facsimiles of the Borg?  Made you into my robotic slaves!  ::Screams with anger:: What gives you the right to do this in the first place? ::Closes his eyes and turns to the Captain::

CEO_Corjet says:
CO: Sorry.  I found my son and children.  ::Points in the direction indicated by the readings of his tricorder::

CNS_Alana says:
Old Man: Please explain your actions to us.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> ::Grumbles at the CEO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Would stop the CEO, but understands his anger::  Old Man: Why are you doing this?  Stop this immediately!

XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Steady, Randy.  ::Repositions rifle::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Walks over to the CEO:: CEO: Commander, were you able to detect where those tubes go?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sighs::  XO: Have the CSO see if he can figure out these computers, but please disarm him first.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'm right here, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CO: This is MY laboratory!  You broke my wall!

OPS_Danforth says:
::Wonders what will happen next::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods to his Executive Officer.  Turns to Taliza:: CSO: Not at the moment.  Checking now. ::Taps on his tricorder::

XO_Kerst says:
CSO: Take a crack at these computers.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is not impressed with his tone::  Old Man: What are you doing and why?!  Tell me now or I will have my officers turn your computers into ashes!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Returns to the computers and tries to hack into them::

CNS_Alana says:
Old Man: Do you own this place?  Are you its creator?

XO_Kerst says:
Old man: Why not tell us how to reverse this process you've started?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CO: Go ahead!  You'll kill all of them!  ::Nods to the glass window::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Is not sure he will actually destroy the computers, but bets the old man is attached to them somehow::

CNS_Alana says:
::Stops speaking to old man, hoping he will simply tell them what they need to know::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CNS: Yes, this is MY laboratory!  This whole installation is MINE!

CSO_Taliza says:
Old Man: Either you will tell us or I'll hack into your database and find out for myself.  I've gained a reputation with my people as an expert hacker.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Scans the apparent pods and tries to find out the source of the tubes that are stuck into each child’s arm.  Shakes with anger, hatred and disgust at such an abomination::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Old Man: All right, then why are you doing this?  Why are you so attached to this little city in the middle of nowhere and why do you need our children?

XO_Kerst says:
::Leans over and whispers into Alana's ear:: CNS: Can you scan his mind for more details on what he's doing to the children?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CSO: Go ahead and try it!  You'll kill them all!  The Federation will have your head on a platter!

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Turns to OPS::  OPS: where are those doctors from the Erie?  Perhaps they can assist us here?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks past the room and enters into another::

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps a little closer to old man:: Old Man: Why have you created this place?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Fingers fly over computer keyboards to figure out the process::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Old Man> CSO: Hey! Get away from that computer!

CSO_Taliza says:
Old Man: If my head is on a platter, I'm sure the Federation will put yours right next to it.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks the Old Man directly in the face, waiting for his answer::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Holds the old man::

OPS_Danforth says:
::Looks over his shoulder:: CO: They're right there, Sir.  Awaiting your orders.  ::Motions for them to come in::

CSO_Taliza says:
Old Man: I'll make a deal with you.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, it may not be Federation policy, but I say if the children don't make it, neither does he.
