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

The crew completed preparations to the USS Erie for departure while the Defiant class USS San Carlo arrived with returning crewmember Commander Satok Marek.  A delegation of 350+ Kezlarites arrived on the station for their annual worshiping ceremonies being held in the large chapel on Level 10 of Module 34A.

A freighter Captain, tired of waiting to dock, pulled out of the waiting line and accidentally slammed into a nearby freighter.

One injured crewman is being treated on board the freighter by a medical team led by CMO Sovok.

Shortly after the Kezlarite ceremonies began a huge explosion inside the chapel rocked the station, injuring and killing several Kezlarites and station residents in the area.

The explosion immediately set of alarms throughout the station.  It is believed the Kezlarites are targets of at least one possibly more terrorist factions on their homeworld of Kezlar, however a thorough investigation of the incident still needs to be performed.

The station is at red alert status.  All off-duty personnel have been recalled for emergency duty and the station Infirmary is being over run with injured.

FCO_Marek says:
::Goes back to his station and begins to study the file containing the vessel list::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Trips over a piece of debris and rolls over it as to not fall onto it.  Cuts his arm slightly, but not enough to warrant treatment.  Continues to wander and heal whoever he can, motioning for people to get more hoverbeds::

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> ::Arrives with oxygen masks:: OPS: Here they are, Sir.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Coughs from the smoke, but continues::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Takes one and puts it on:: Rogers: Give the rest to the medical staff and security as needed.

FCO_Marek says:
::Sees the Admiral leaving, grabs the PADD::

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> OPS: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Whoever did this must have planted the explosives recently and may still be on the station.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Taps COM badge:: *CMO*: Mitchell to Sovok.  I am on my way to Cargo Bay 4 to assist, Doctor.

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> CMO: Doctor, here are some oxygen masks.  How many will your team need?

CMO_Sovok says:
*Admiral*: Understood, Sir. I'm currently treating as many people as I can outside of the chapel.  I'll be making my way there and to Sickbay when I'm finished.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Send crews and launch four runabouts to act as patrols, we don't want anybody trying get away.  They may also help calm some of those freighter Captains.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Puts her paw over her nose and watches as her security teams show up. She directs them to their posts and awaits the bomb squad::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, Mitchell, out.  ::Steps out of the turbolift and walks quickly to Cargo Bay 4::

CMO_Sovok says:
Rogers: There are ten of us here, so ten.  ::Takes one of them and puts it on::

FCO_Marek says:
XO: Indeed, Sir, will do it immediately.

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> CTO: Lieutenant, I have oxygen masks.  How many will you and your team need?

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CTO*: Bao, what’s your status?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The explosive team arrives at the chapel wearing specialized suits and carrying equipment cases.

FCO_Marek says:
CO: I suggest we deploy some extra pods in a rotating pattern to increase the perimeter security.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Do it.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Waves Rogers away:: Rogers: I'm fine, see to the otherrs firrrst.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Groaning can be heard coming from under a huge pile of rubble.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
*CO*: I've got the scene blocked off and the bomb team just arrived, Sirr.

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Moves to his station::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Moves to the groaning sound:: CTO: Bao, help me here.  Someone is buried under this rubble.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Hears the groaning:: All: Everyone!  Help me lift this!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bomb Squad Leader> ::Muffled voice through his helmet:: CTO: Have you secured the chapel, Sir?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Kneels down and looks over to Rick and Bao, waits for more people::

Host CO_Kerst says:
*CTO*: Good keep me informed of your findings.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The rubble is way too heavy to lift.  There are several large chunks of rubble piled up and the injured person is deep inside the pile.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Moves to Spicer’s side:: Bomb Squad Leader: Yes!

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Once they've identified the explosives used, I want you to scan the station and all ships in the area for any signs of it.  Coordinate with the science department.

OPS_Spicer says:
CMO: Okay, Doc, I’ll get some anti-grav cargo movers to get this rubble moved.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bomb Squad Leader> CTO: Very well, we're going in.  Keep everyone out!  ::Motions to the team to follow him into the chapel::

OPS_Spicer says:
*Rogers*: We need a couple of anti-grav cargo movers over here, stat!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods to the Bomb Squad Leader::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Nods:: OPS: Good idea.

FCO_Marek says:
::Grabs the PADD again:: CO:, Sir, I forgot to mention this.  Admiral Mitchell requested a list of arrivals during the last 14 days.  Nothing appears to be suspicious, mostly Federation cargo ships.  However, I will investigate further. ::Hands the PADD to the CO::

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> *OPS*: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks to Spicer:: OPS: Is therre any hope forr anyone burrried underrr all this?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A fire breaks out just outside the chapel near the big pile of rubble from the residual heat of the explosion.

Host CO_Kerst says:
TO Smith: Go over the sensor logs, I want to know the name of everybody that went within 110 meters of that chapel in the last 48 hours.

Host CO_Kerst says:
<TO Smith>: CO: On it, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
CTO: I hope so. ::Jumps as the wave of heat hits him::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Moves away from the heat quickly::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Takes the PADD: FCO: Thanks.

OPS_Spicer says:
Fire Control Team: Get that fire under control!  Use halon if you have to!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath:: Self: Damn Terrrorrrrrists!

FCO_Marek says:
CO: You will find that the Kezlarite vessels arrived during last 4 days, 12 of them to be precise.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Fire Control Team quickly puts out the fire.

FCO_Marek says:
::Works on the sensor configurations as he speaks to the Captain::

OPS_Spicer says:
<Rogers> ::Arrives with the anti-grav cargo movers:: OPS: Here they are, Sir.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO/TO Smith: Okay, let’s assume our terrorists weren't on any of the ships that arrived within 2 hours of the explosion, not enough time to plant them unseen, so we're looking for somebody from an earlier flight. Find out who wasn't at that chapel today and why.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Attaches one to the top piece of rubble and activates it.:: CMO: Doc, you know how to use one of these?

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Arrives in Cargo Bay 4 and begins treating burn patients::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The groaning stops from inside the pile of rubble.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Grabs an anti-grav unit and slowly begins moving the rubble::

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO/TO Smith: Scan the station for any Kezlarites not in the chapel or in the medical bays.

OPS_Spicer says:
CTO: Thanks, Bao.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Yeah, yeah, Rrrrick.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The anti-gravitation units do the trick and slowly the team removes chunks of rubble.

FCO_Marek says:
:.nods to the Captain:: CO: Will work on that immediately. I have just configured the station sensor grid to a complete scan of the station and its surrounding areas.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Gets ready to assist whoever is trapped in the debris::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The injured man is unconscious.  There is also a child lying beneath him, as if he had grabbed the child to pull him to safety but didn't make it.

FCO_Marek says:
TO Smith: Give me a hand here please.  ::Points to the FCO console::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
CMO: Sovok, we got two in herre!

CMO_Sovok says:
::Checks the man’s vitals as the debris is removed::

Host CO_Kerst says:
<TO Smith>: FCO: Aye, Sir.

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Rushes from patient to patient as more injured are brought into the cargo bay::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Attempts to stabilize both patients::

FCO_Marek says:
::Hears the beep of the console:: CO: Sir, apart from the 342 Kezlarites in the area of the Chapel and 23 aboard the ships, the Computer detected 2 others  in the Promenade's Bar.  Should I send a security team there and have them brought in for interrogation, Sir?

FCO_Marek says:
::Hears TO Smith dealing with a vessel Captain:: TO_Smith: If an angry Captain expresses his dissatisfaction just ignore it.  We have plenty more important work to do here.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: One of the bomb squad members rushes out of the chapel yelling, "Everyone hit the deck!"  Three seconds later another explosion, this one not as big as the first one.

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Not yet, but have two security guards placed nearby and keep an eye on them.  I want to know who they are, when they arrived and what they've been doing since they got here.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Dives to the floor::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Yelps and runs for cover behind a large pile of rubble::

Host Admiral_Mitchell says:
::Looks up as she hears the muffled sound of another explosion and feels the station shudder.  Continues working on the patients::

FCO_Marek says:
CO: Understood, Sir.  ::Contacts Station Security and orders a security team to do the surveillance::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Everyone inside the chapel is killed.  Only one member of the bomb squad survived.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Doesn't have time to duck and just gets knocked over::

FCO_Marek says:
CO: There has been another explosion at the chapel, Sir!  Casualties are reported!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Peeks out:: Self: Oh sweet Buddha!

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Curses loud and long in Romulan::

OPS_Spicer says:
ALL: Let's get this area completely vacated!  I don't want any civilians in the immediate area.  Move it!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Curses in Chinese::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around, ears ringing, trying to stand up.  Is pretty sure he can.  Can't breath... oh boy... no air... come on body... there we go.  Breathing again...now lets work on motor control::

FCO_Marek says:
::Doesn't curse because he's a Vulcan but he certainly would want to do it::

Host CO_Kerst says:
FCO: Sound General Quarters, civilians to the shelters!  Everybody is on duty!  Have all Kezlarites detained for their own protection. Contact any nearby Starfleet vessels for additional assistance.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Passes out from a concussion received in the fall::
