Host SM_Darlene says:
Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

In their quest to find the evil Kurum the crew made their way into the castle and down into the dark, musty dungeons where CTO Rr'Vellan found an entrance into might be some kind of ceremonial chamber.

XO Kerst, TO Bailey and CMO Sovok took the lead using the reflective capabilities of their shields to protect the team from the gaze of the Kurum who can turn people to stone with just one look.  CEO Spicer and his lightening and ice skills along with CTO Rr'Vellan and her fire and water skills followed behind.

Time lapse: 2 seconds….

::Looks around cautiously, trying to lead them::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Steps in and begins firing as hard and as fast as she can, eyes shut tight::

Host XO_Kerst says:
ALL: Take 'um Down!  Take them all down!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Shards of ice spread out throughout the chamber, the ones that don't hit anyone, shatter against the stonewalls. Huge blasts of fire emanate from the CTO's hands as she makes her way into the room.

::Throws a torch, eyes closed and he' s not sure where it landed:: Self: What the h....??

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> ::Holds up his staff and casts a spell, erecting a magic dome around him and his followers.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Starts to cough from the smoke, but keeps firing::

Host XO_Kerst says:
::Watches the attack through his shield, with grim satisfaction at the fallen Kurum::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Keeps pushing onward::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CEO and CTO's Ice and Fire cannot penetrate the magic dome.

CEO_Spicer says:
::Let's loose all the electricity he can muster directly at one point in front of the wizard::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> ::Moves through his followers and approaches the edge of the shield:: All: Who are you and why have you come here?

Host XO_Kerst says:
CEO: Use your ice to wall in the dome, trap them in ice!

Host XO_Kerst says:
Evil Wizard: We have come for what was stolen from us and to punish those who stole it!

CEO_Spicer says:
XO: Aye. ::Concentrates to build a dome of ice around the shield of the wizard and his men::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> XO: What do you think was stolen from you and why do you think we have it?

ACTION: A dome of ice begins building around the shield.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Stops firing and holds her paws at her sides, her eyes still tightly shut::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Holds the shield in front of him::

Evil Wizard: They, ::Indicates Kurum:: came to our village and took the piece, killing those who had it.  We followed them here, to you!

::Sniffs trying to get more information of what is happening and why not to admit it.  He certainly won't open his eyes until it is safe to do it::

Host SM_Darlene says:

CEO_Spicer says:
::Sweat begins to bead on forehead::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> XO: They broke into our sacred chamber and stole the device.  We are the keepers!  Why are you building a wall of ice around us?

CEO_Spicer says:
::Whispers:: Self: Ice Capades?

Host XO_Kerst says:
Evil Wizard: Your friends have a nasty trick with their eyes. The ice will block it, and hold you while we discuss the matter at hand.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> XO: The Kurum are dangerous but they cannot harm you through the dome.  Please, stop this and we can talk.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Can we trrrrust him, Sirrrrr?

Host XO_Kerst says:
Evil Wizard: I don't trust them, or you at the moment. Why Should I believe you? I only have your word that their trick wont work through your shield, how can I trust you?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Evil Wizard> XO: I could make the shield disappear with one wave of my staff and then the Kurum will be able to add you and your people to the collection of statues that surround the castle.  Is that what you want?

CEO_Spicer says:
::Goes to his knees under the strain::

Host XO_Kerst says:
CMO: Help him!

::Stands, angry and confused::

CMO_Sovok says:
Admiral: How did we get IN there in the first place?

TO_Bailey says:
::Offers a hand to the CTO:: CTO: Sir?  By the way, let me tell you I totally agree with you.

Host Admrial_Mitchell says:

CMO_Sovok says:
Admiral: Convenient.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Takes the TO's hand and looks up:: TO: Sorrry, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Kerst says:
Admiral: We Followed the Kurum through the time portal.  We spent the last 3 days on another planet.  Are you trying to tell me we've been stuck in a holodeck program for 3 DAYS?  What day is it?

Host Admrial_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: XO: Considering today is Monday, you must have been in here since sometime late Friday.  ::Shrugs::  You can check the logs if you wish.

Host Admrial_Mitchell says:
XO: At any rate, I expect you and your officers to clean up and get to Operations.

Host XO_Kerst says:
Admiral: You bet I will, I don't remember ever entering the holodeck. Some one has some serious questions to answer.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rubs her forehead with her paw:: TO: I could use a beerrrr afterrr that. You in?

Host XO_Kerst says:
Admiral: What about the man who was turned to stone or was that part of this too?

TO: But of course!!!!
