Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last week on ACTD Kootenai Station…

Commander Kerst's team has successfully escaped from their sarcophagi and the room they were locked in and are now exploring the structure.  Commander Kerst accidentally tripped a mechanism, which opened a hidden panel and ejected another sarcophagus from its resting place.

The lid on the sarcophagus slid open revealing an ancient mummy from which hundreds of beetles have escaped and are chasing the team through a maze of stonewalls in the structure.

Commander Corjet's team has convinced the local Order of Rameus representative to allow them to complete the initiation process in order to join the Order of Rameus.  Their assignment: to kill and bring back the bodies of a suspected Starfleet away team who was taken captive by the Order and transported to Argolla Prime.

The team is now at the shuttle-landing site.

Commander Danforth's team was hired by a local eccentric resident to retrieve the Argollian crystals and has now returned to the shuttle-landing site comparing notes with the Corjet team.

The two teams are now waiting for Commander Kerst's team to return to the shuttle-landing site and for the electrical storm to pass before taking off for Argolla Prime.

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

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Throws torch down in front of the advancing beetles, grabs the CNS’ arm, runs:: CNS: RUN!

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Booboo> ::Still growls and grumbles because he was made fun of::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks over to the CTO, thoughts still racing through his mind::

Shira_Donno says:
#::Sits at the shuttle controls, waiting for the storm to pass::

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Wonders what Randy and Danforth have in mind::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: Commander Kerst leads his team into a room off the main corridor.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
::Is swept away by the XO and running her buns off!::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::In the shuttle, going over the flight route::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#CEO: So, Commander I think we should follow my route rather than yours.  It seems yours leads to killing Starfleet officers.

Shira_Donno says:
#::Walks outside to Commander Danforth, finds him talking to the CEO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: The electrical storm passes.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Looks around:: All: I think we lost them, I hope.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Turns to talk to Donno but sees him walking out the hatch::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: It seems we are going around in circles again.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Heads outside to see what the commanders are plotting:: CEO/CTO: Sirs, the storm is starting to pass.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Begins powering up the shuttle and going through preflight checklist::

Shira_Donno says:
#CTO:, Sir, what about the Erie?  Clyde Gutman had said that a fleet had been dispatched to destroy it.  Should we try to warn them?

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: I hate bugs!

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The CNS accidentally trips a mechanism closing the door to the room and sealing out the beetles.  A low rumbling can be heard coming from the walls and the ceiling of the room.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Looking at the walls and the floor for traces of bugs.  As she runs along she trips on something sticking out of the floor::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Sees the CNS trip and the door shut,  Smiles:: CNS: Well, that's twice now you've accidentally found the secret door mechanism.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#Shira: I don't know if we can afford to break away from the plan.  We've got to get those crystals.  The Captain wouldn't want us to compromise the mission.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: I hate bugs too but look it seems that door closed them off.  Now maybe we can get somewhere.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#CEO: What do you think, Commander?

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: Uh, I don't think I like the sound of that.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Puts his hand to his chin as he thinks then realizes he's growing a beard.  Sighs:: CTO: Well, yes.  I want you to try to contact the XO's team.   You've got about 5 minutes.  If you can't get them, I'll have the CSO retrieve their shuttle.  Then see if you can get a scrambled message to the Erie.  Warn them about the fleet that's on its way.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Wonders what this "plan" is::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: How much longer?

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: Perhaps there are more devices in the floor and walls, let's feel along the way.

Shira_Donno says:
#CTO: Yes, Sir.  I understand but is there anything we can do?  I am sure the Captain would not mind our warning him of the ship being destroyed.  Anyway without alerting people to our true mission that is.

CSO_Taliza says:
$CEO: Just a few moments and we can take off.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks to the CTO:: CTO: Make that a few minutes.  ::Shakes his head::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Finishes up the checklist, gets up and walks to the hatch:: CTO: Sir, ready when you are.

CEO_Corjet says:
$CSO: Prepare to retrieve the XO's shuttle.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: I wish we could contact anyone to let us know what is going on with the other teams.

CSO_Taliza says:
$CEO: Aye, Sir.  Shall I fly her back to the Erie?

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Eyes widen as she hears the CSO's suggestion, looks to the CEO for his response::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: I wonder if this is an Illusion and we are still on a ship?

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Searches walls for any more doors:: CNS: Well, a ship brought us here.  If we can make our way back to it, perhaps we can contact the Erie.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: Spikes start emerging from the ceiling and suddenly the ceiling begins slowly moving downwards.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Thinks a moment:: CSO: Hmmm... ::Thinks about the possibilities:: No, follow us.  I want to rendezvous with the Erie somewhere in between here and Argolla Prime if at all possible.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Clears her throat:: CEO: Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
$CEO: Should I fly her remotely or actually pilot her?

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Suddenly looks up:: XO:: RUN!

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Mutters something ungentlemanly in Romulan:: CNS: I think I'll take the bugs over those spikes. Let’s try to reopen the door!

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Turns:: FCO: Yes? ::Looks over to the CSO::

Shira_Donno says:
#::Leaves the CTO to ponder the question and boards the shuttle::  FCO: Are we ready to depart, Ensign?

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Looks over at the FCO who doesn't know he was once an FCO of a station::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Thinks: So many decisions and so little time:: CSO: I think it's best if you fly her yourself.  It's harder to catch all three of us, if it comes to that.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Turns a bit red but continues:: CEO: Sir, according to Clyde Gutman, he has cloaked vessels in orbit.  They are what detected the Erie.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#CSO/CEO: Let's do it.  FCO: Safa?  Let's try and contact the XO.  Use secured frequency 23 Beta.

CSO_Taliza says:
$CEO: Aye, Sir.  I'll get it here remotely.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Searches walls, floor, loose stones for a hidden latch, knob, control panel, floor jack. Anything to stop the ceiling::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: If you can't get him, let me know.  We're leaving in the next open window.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: We have got to try and stop this ceiling from collapsing in on us.  Got any ideas?

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Re-enters the XO’s shuttle and powers it up::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Looks back and forth between the senior officers:: CTO: Aye, Sir. ::Moves back into the shuttle and attempts to contact the XO::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods:: FCO: Yes the CTO notified me.  Can you plot a rendezvous point somewhere away from here, in-between here and Argolla Prime so we can meet up with the Erie?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The floor begins to rumble.  Spikes slowly start emerging from the floor.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Turns and yells a bit:: Bailey: Power up the shuttle.  Get ready to take off!

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Nods and quickly gets the shuttle ready for takeoff::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Turns back as the CEO says something to her:: CEO: That's not a problem, Sir, but since the vessels are cloaked.  We have no idea where or how many there are.  They could follow us from the planet.

Shira_Donno says:
#::Sits down at his panel, powers it up and runs checks on the navigational, sensor and tactical systems::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: These has got to be a someway to stop this, a lever, secret stone, something.  ::Dodges a spike coming through the floor:: Try moving, turning, lifting, everything, especially on the walls.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Smiles and nods:: FCO: Noted.  We just need to warn her at the very least. ::Turns to the CTO::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: If they follow us, they'll be following Lyle and Safa on a mission for the people we're supposed to be doing a mission for.  Nothing more.  We'll leave it up to the CEO to warn the Captain.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Continues searching the walls for any hidden control, a loose stone, anything::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Not happy:: CEO/CTO: Aye, Sirs.  ::Sits at her console and tries to contact the XO::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Begins to feel some stones that are loose::  XO: Here, these stones are loose, let's take them out and pile them up.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CTO/CEO*: Shuttle 1 ready for take off on your orders.  Window should be opening in 45 seconds.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#::Sees the look on the FCO's face and goes after her, puts his hand on her shoulders::

CEO_Corjet says:
$CTO: Let's get ready to move out.  I'll try to contact the Erie then I'll give the go signal on secured channel 44.  ::Turns then stops and turns back:: One of us has to retrieve those crystals.  ::Frowns:: No matter the cost.  ::Turns and runs into the shuttle::

Shira_Donno says:
#::Sits at his station and prepares to seal the hatch::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: What's wrong, Stephanie?

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Begins thinking: Work with me baby, work with me!::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#CEO: Understood.  We'll get them.  If either one of us retrieves the crystals, we have to send a signal to the other.

CEO_Corjet says:
$*CSO*: Okay, here's the plan.  The FCO is going to plot a rendezvous point.  Get the coordinates and get ready to move out.  I'm going to try to contact the Captain and inform him of our situation.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO/CTO*: Window opening in 3, 2, 1.  Take off window is opening now.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#Shira: Seal her up.  Let's get ready to move out.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The XO and CNS begin pulling lose stones from the walls.  The XO is looking for some kind of lever while the CNS is stacking the stones on the floor hoping to stop the spikes from crushing them.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Looks up as the ceiling spikes get closer to her head::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Peaks back out:: CTO: You got it, Commander.  ::Ducks back into the shuttle and closes the door::

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Looks to the CEO:: CEO: Ready for take off.

Shira_Donno says:
#::Seals the hatch and activates sensor systems::  CTO: Ready, Sir.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Turns to face the CTO, then shrugs:: CTO: I don't know the solution, but I think we might be giving away our true intentions.  ::Hears the CSO and begins taking off as soon as Donno closes the hatch::

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO*: Aye, Sir.  *FCO*: I'm ready when you are, Steph.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#*CSO*: Ready, I'll follow your lead.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Tries to jam the ceiling with some loose stones::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Sits down:: *FCO*: Send the coordinates to everyone please. ::Sets up a secured communication link to the USS Erie::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The spikes from the ceiling are now half way down the full height of the room.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*FCO/Bailey*: Lifting off.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Does a quick calculation and sends rendezvous coordinates to everyone:: *CEO*: You should have them now, Sir.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: You're right but we have a direct order from the CEO.  Besides, we have to give the Captain every chance.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Looks at the door and wonders where the CSO is:: CEO: What about Cal?  ::Receives the coordinates::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Can you hide the signal on a carrier wave?

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Receives coordinates::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Continues searching the walls for loose stones::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods to Bailey as he lets him know he's got them:: *FCO*: Got them.

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: The shuttles lift off one right after the other and head to Argolla Prime.

CEO_Corjet says:
$COM: USS Erie: This is Corjet, please respond.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Follows the FCO and Bailey-piloted shuttles out of orbit::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Piling stones until the ceiling fits tightly up on them::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Sways in his seat:: Bailey: Be a bit careful.  ::Laughs:: Just kidding around.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The XO pulls a big stone from the walls dropping it on the ground.  When he looks up at the wall he sees what looks like a lever.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Booboo> ::Nods and smiles for once:: CEO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Begins to break a sweat::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Nods, keeping her eyes on her console:: CTO: Possibly, Sir.  We could hide it in another signal as background interference.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Now lying on the floor as the spikes are very close::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Headed to rendezvous coordinates, Sir.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::CNS: Ah ha! Here goes nothing. ::Reaches up and pulls the big lever he just found::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the COM, rises from his chair, thrilled to be hearing from the away team and knowing that they are alive, shouts to OPS to secure the line::  COM: CEO: Commander, this is the Erie.  What is your status?

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Plots course for rendezvous coordinates::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#Donno: Any sign of someone following us?

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Great job.  Hide the transmission as best you can and head to the coordinates we got from ol' what's his name.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Sighs::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Checks the secured channel and then tries again:: COM: USS Erie: You have a fleet of ships ready to intercept you and destroy you.  Preparing to send rendezvous coordinates, Sir.  We need to rendezvous!  You’re in emanate danger.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The lever squeaks as the XO pulls on it.  The ceiling and floor spikes retract and the ceiling reverses direction heading upwards.

Shira_Donno says:
#FCO: I don't believe so, but they could be cloaked.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey>::Flies the shuttle behind the CTO's shuttle. Making course adjustments::

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Lines up shuttle right behind Bailey::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Nods:: Donno: That's what I'm afraid of, although… ::Tries to grin:: I'm a worrier.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@:: Sees the ceiling retract and begins to squeal:: XO:  I Love You!

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Sees spikes slowly going back up:: CNS: Whew, for a minute there I thought we’d end up a…..a shishkaert, shish ka akrt, food on a stick.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO:, Sir, do we go to the rendezvous coordinates first or head straight for Argolla Prime?

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Sends rendezvous coordinates to the USS Erie over the secure link:: COM: CO: We'll meet you there, Captain.  My team's been sent to kill one of the other teams, that’s been found out, Sir, apparently the XO's team.  The CTO's team has been sent to steal the crystals. That's all I dare say at the moment.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#*CEO* ::Coded transmission 44:: No sign of the XO.  We're proceeding on with our mission.  Good luck.  No offense meant if I say I hope we succeed before you do.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@:: Realizing what she said, she then tries to stand:: XO: Shish Kabob, you mean?

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Hears the CNS words, pauses, wondering if there's a deeper meaning then just a exclamation of having one's life saved, decides to pursue that inquiry later::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Can't help but to laugh:: *CTO*: I hope so too! Good luck. ::Bailey growls ”good luck” to the CTO's team in the back ground::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Standing and moving closer to XO:: XO: Okay, now can we go home.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CTO*: Happy hunting, Commander.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::CNS: Yeah, that's it. ::Still replaying the "I love you" in his mind, liking the sound of it::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Head to Argolla Prime, maximum warp.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Overhears the CEO and changes course for Argolla Prime:: CTO: Headed for Argolla Prime, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Pauses and then sends a secured COM to the CSO:: *CSO*: If none of us make it, Cal it’s been good knowing you.  But you have orders to do what you can to reacquire those crystals no matter the costs.  Destruction of them is permitted.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#*CSO*: You, too.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO/Donno: ETA is 10 minutes.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Shakes his head:: CNS: Unfortunately, no.  Now we find another way out of here and then find those crystals.  We may have to borrow a ship.  But first things first, lets get out of this room before those spikes start up again.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Looks up at XO, batting her eyes::

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO*: You mean I have to fly this all the way to Argolla Prime?

Host SM_Darlene says:
$#ACTION: Several Order of Rameus ships begin launching from Kimpac.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Sir, ETA 10 minutes.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#Shira: Are we being followed now?

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Looks at sensors:: *CEO/CTO*: Taliza to Corjet and Danforth!  We have company!

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Seizes the moment, leaning down, he takes the CNS in his arms and kisses her::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Nods as he looks to Bailey:: *CSO*: Yes. ::Starts formulating further plans::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Good job, Safa.  I like entrepreneurial officers.  ::Thinks to himself: Damn::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Shakes his head:: Self: Oh no! ::Looks to Bailey who nods in confirmation::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Looks at her console:: Donno: Are they following the CSO or us?

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: No sudden moves, let's see what they are up to first.  Besides, they have to catch us.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO/CTO*: Several Order ships have launched from Kimpac.  They must be following us to make sure we finish our mission.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Is swept up in the moment, return the kiss, welcoming the rush of the silence of the locked room::

Shira_Donno says:
#CTO: I haven't picked up any ships following us but I cannot tell if there are any cloaked vessels in the region, Sir.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Hears the CSO:: CTO: Sir, they must be following the others, since we aren't working for the Order unless they know what we plan.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CTO* Commander, I suggest we cancel our rendezvous and head straight for our intended destinations.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: They can't read our transmissions yet, but we don't want the Order or anyone thinking we are working with them.  Fire a phaser blast at the CEO, but miss.

Shira_Donno says:
#::Scans the ships leaving the planet and their destination::

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: The Order of Rameus ships gather then turn in the opposite direction from the shuttles and jump to warp.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#Shira/Safa: From now on, we're on silent running until the mission is completed.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Aye, Sir, firing phasers.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CTO/CEO*: Wait a minute!  They've turned the opposite direction.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Plots evasive maneuvers then wonders why they went to warp::  CEO: They're gone, Sir.  ::Looks to him wondering what to do::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Yes, Sir.  ::Continues flying straight and true to Argolla Prime::

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: One of the ships detects the phaser fire from the CTO's shuttle on sensors.  He immediately notifies the rest of the fleet.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Swimming in dream land::

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Continues to monitor sensors::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Feels Alana, returning his kiss. Slowly they move until she is back against the wall, the world around them lost::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Looks down at his controls:: CEO: What's next? ::Sees the phaser fire and then looks to the CEO:: They've just fired on us!!  But it was a clear miss.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Sees CTO's shuttle fire on CEO's shuttle, backs off just in case::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Taps on the controls and sends a phaser fire back, barely missing:: Bailey: I'll handle it..

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Double-checks her console:: CTO: New ETA 6 minutes.

CEO_Corjet says:
$Bailey: Let's get out of here now.

Host SM_Darlene says:

$::Engages warp drive::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Pushing XO away::  XO: This is not the time for this all though I have enjoyed it , let's figure out this after we return to the station, okay?

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO/Shira: Feedback.  Why was the order launching ships right after we left the planet and why are they going the other way?'

Shira_Donno says:
#::Continues monitoring sensors and the path of the vessels::

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Opens a secured COM link to the shuttles:: *CTO/CSO*: Ready for rendezvous?  I notified the Captain about our situation.  Hopefully they'll meet us there.  If not, we'll proceed as planned.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO*: Give the word, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: The shuttles enter the Argolla sector.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Turns to look at the CTO:: I don't think they were going after us, Sir.  They may have been checking on the CEO's team, to see if they are following their directions.

CEO_Corjet says:

$<Bailey> ::Brings the shuttle out of warp:: CEO: Going to impulse.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Disengages warp and goes to impulse::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: I don't feel anything else that might be of use.  How about we just start pushing on the walls maybe a door might open?

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Any recommendations for a landing area, Sir?

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Continues looking for any more doors, levers, anything::

Host SM_Darlene says:
#$ACTION: The shuttles reach the rendezvous coordinates.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Wherever you think it's likely that the crystals would be located.

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO/CTO*: We're at the rendezvous.

CEO_Corjet says:
$::Uses the secured COM link:: *CTO/CSO*: Anyone spot the Erie yet? ::Looks over the scanners::

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Checks scanners for Erie::

CO_Pavielion says:

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Half a kilometer too much of a hike for you, Sir?  We could hide the shuttle and walk to the coordinates Gutman gave us.

CO_Pavielion says:
::Has the ship at full alert and scanning for anomaly that could be a cloaked vessel.  Picks up the shuttles on sensors and inputs an intercept course::

$*CSO*: You have any ideas on how to carry out our orders, Cal?

CO_Pavielion says:
COM: CEO: Commander, have your teams beam aboard and we will discuss it.  I do not want to do this over subspace, even on a secure transmission.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Takes the shuttle through the planet's atmosphere, heading towards the coordinates given by Gutman::

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Looks to the CEO::

CSO_Taliza says:
$*CEO*: My idea needs Captain or Doctor's approval.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The XO pulls on something and water begins pumping into the room.

CEO_Corjet says:
$*CSO*: Aye.  ::Looks to Bailey and nods::

CEO_Corjet says:
$*CTO*: Let's rendezvous with the Erie.  ::Sighs hoping he isn't further risking the XO and his team::

CSO_Taliza says:
$COM: Erie/*CEO*: Putting shuttle on autopilot at station keeping.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Bailey> ::Nods and sets course for the Erie::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Yells something in Romulan, tries to push on whatever he pulled to stop the water flowing::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Begins landing procedures::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Looks over at XO as she hears the sound of rushing water::  XO: What the...?

CO_Pavielion says:
COM: Shuttles: Prepare for transport.  ::Looks to OPS to transport them as soon as shields are down::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: Water comes out from all the walls.  Soon the XO, CNS & CMO are standing ankle deep in water.

CSO_Taliza says:
$::Goes to transport pad::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Sir?

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#::Hits the console:: FCO: You're right.  Let's go.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: Another trap. There has got to be a way to stop this one too. They wouldn't want the whole place to flood.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Set coordinates to the rendezvous coordinates.

CEO_Corjet says:
$<Booboo>::Puts the shuttle in station keeping:: COM: Erie: Ready for transport.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Shakes her head as the room begins to fill with water and becomes mud::  XO: Whatever you did, undo it quick!

CSO_Taliza says:
$COM: Erie: One ready for beam off on Team 1 shuttle.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: I'm trying! :::Tries pushing on the stone he pulled to see if that stops the water::

CO_Pavielion says:
::Transports the away teams members::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The XO's effort to stop the water is futile.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Gives up and just starts pulling on every stone in the wall. He's either going to find something, or tear the room apart::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Aye, Sir.  We should be planet-side in 3 minutes.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Begins to think about what else can go wrong::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Arrives on the Erie with the rest of the Away Teams::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO I have serious apprehension about this.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Finds himself on the Erie Bridge::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: Perhaps this is just a trap like the others and we will not drown.  Perhaps the water will stop just before the water is to the ceiling, perhaps...

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: What apprehensions, Sir?

Host SM_Darlene says:
$ACTION: The Erie locks onto the shuttle occupants and beams them off leaving two empty shuttles floating in space.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: Perhaps we should just wade it out?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks for the Captain and sees him.  Runs over to his chair:: CO: Corjet reporting, Sir.  The Order had ordered us ::Indicates his team:: to kill the Starfleet team, which has to be the XO's team and bring the bodies back.  From the CTO's report he's been sent to Argolla Prime to steal the crystals.  So apparently the crystals are there.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Realizing how stupid she sounds and how tired she feels::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Touches down with a bit of a bump:: CTO: Sorry, Sir, I guess I'm a bit apprehensive, too.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stands up::  All: Okay, in the Briefing Room ::Points to the room and enters with the away team members::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Any landing you can walk away from, Stephanie.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Ponders the CNS’s suggestion:: CNS: I'd rather not wait and see.  Keep pulling something has to give.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly makes his way to the Briefing Room and blushes in embarrassment for having blurted out like that::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Laughs:: CTO: Thank you, Sir. ::Begins powering down the engines::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I don't like this as much as anyone but Benar is an old Resistance friend of mine.  He wants us to prove our trustworthiness.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: Water continues to be pumped into the room.  The XO, CNS & CMO are now standing knee deep in water.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Pulls on stones and hopes they reveal an out spout::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Takes his seat and seals the briefing room door::  All: Okay, what is your status?  ::Turns to the CEO::  CEO: You first, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Bailey> ::Enters the Briefing room and stands at attention::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The CNS pulls out a large stone revealing a small hole behind it.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Sees Bailey::  Bailey: Take a seat, Lieutenant.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::After engines are put on super-quick power-up mode, runs a scan of the area outside the shuttle::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes seat opposite Randy::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Has a seat and calms down:: CO: Cal had made contact with the Order.  We were sent to Argolla Prime to kill off the XO's team.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Bailey> ::Nods to the Captain and sits next to the CEO::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Pulling out a large stone she sees a hole and tries with all her might to dig and enlarge it::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Why?

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Scan the exterior and let's get out of the shuttle.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: Look here, I see an opening!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I can answer that, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO/CSO: Go ahead.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the CSO:: CO: Also, as I noted the CTO's team was sent to Argolla Prime to steal the crystals.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Moves to the CNS’s position:: CNS: Anything in it?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The water level is nearing the hole in the wall revealed by the CNS.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Olan Benar was my contact on Kimpac.  He and I go way back to the Resistance.  He wants us to prove how worthy we are to join the Order.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#CTO: Aye, Sir, doing a quick scan now.  I'm not detecting anything between the structures and us, where the coordinates lead us.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: No, I can’t enlarge it, but look!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We have to kill Commander Kerst's team and take them back to Kimpac.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: Okay, Commander, so we know the XO's team and the crystals are on Argolla Prime.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: But I have an idea.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Let's hope there aren't any more portly gentlemen to deal with.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Stands up and heads over to the hatch, opening it:: CTO: Sensors indicate a desert planet.  I suggest we take plenty of water.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#::Hands Stephanie a phaser rifle (Bajoran) and a survival pack::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Listening::  CSO: Go ahead.  I hope it does not involve going through with the task.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Well, it does, to a degree.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Yes and we're suppose to kill them.  That's the hard part.  I'm not sure if we can take them away alive or we’ll have to kill them on the spot.  If we have to kill them on the spot, that's going to be hard to do.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#::Takes a survival pack, tricorder (Bajoran), PADD (Bajoran) and phaser rifle as well::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Takes the items:: CTO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Points to three pyramid-like structures on the horizon:: CTO: That way, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Remember reading the history of the old USS Enterprise under Kirk's command about 90 years ago?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CEO: I may have a solution to that but it will be tricky to time properly.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Of course, Lieutenant, continue.

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@::Grabs at the rock around the hole hoping to enlarge it::

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@XO: Look, I think...I think the dirt is moving.  Kick at the hole.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles with hope and looks to the CSO:: CO: And the CSO also has a plan. but without you I'm not sure if it'll work.  We only have a shuttle, Sir.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@:: Kicks at the dirt::

XO_Krizra_Tarzi says:
@CNS: Stand back: ::Kicks at the hole hoping to enlarge it::

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#FCO: Remember, Safa, I'm your boyfriend and lover, Lyle so no more, “Sir”.
  
Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The hole begins to give way.

CNS_Krizra_Martia says:
@::Sighs, seeing the hole getting bigger::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I propose that we find a way to drug the team before we execute them.  Our phasers would have to be on stun, Sir, but the drug that McCoy used on Kirk during his fight with Spock while experiencing Pon Farr on Vulcan needs to be administered for this to work and it must be time released.

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Smiles widely:: CTO: No problem, Lyle ::Flutters her eyelashes coquettishly::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It has to be triggered when we hit them with the phaser blasts.

CTO_Danfro_Lyle says:
#::Opens the shuttle doors and walks outside, smiling::

FCO_Krizra_Safa says:
#::Follows the CTO out of the shuttle, smiling::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CSO: And what will this drug do?  It would have to stop their breathing, etc.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods and turns to the CO:: CO: It's a good plan but we don't have the proper equipment.  What about yours, Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It mimics death.
