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

The entire San Carlo crew were arrested and put into holding cells as well as the senior staff.  They were forced by a cruel guard to put on hot pink jumpsuits before being chained inside a truck-like hovercraft and taken to the transport site.

The San Carlo has been taken to a holding area under heavy guard.

Time lapse: 20 minutes.

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

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The hovercraft is approaching the transport sight.

XO_Marek says:
::Curses in Vulcan while struggles with his handcuffs::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard Thug> *All*: Please fasten your seatbelts and observe the no smoking signs, we are on approach.  ::Laughs::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Sits up and tries to get her handcuffs off. considers teaching the XO to curse in Chinese::

CSO_Hayes says:
::Tries to secure herself for a bumpy landing::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The rest of the hovercrafts carrying the San Carlo crew begin landing procedures.

XO_Marek says:
::Tries to identify where are they::

CSO_Hayes says:
CTO: Any idea where we are?

XO_Marek says:
All: Remember our main objective is to find a way to get ourselves out of here.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The area where the hovercrafts are landing is barren wasteland.  There are only barren rocky hills and no vegetation.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Perks her ears and is still for a moment:: CSO: We've trrravelled at least 160 kilometerrrs… ::Pauses:: …south.

CSO_Hayes says:
::Nods at the CTO even though it's not telling much::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The hovercraft carrying the senior staff begins to descend.  The pilot maneuvers the craft in a sharp vertical descent, forcing the crew to scrunch up towards the front of the vehicle.

XO_Marek says:
::Hears the CTO:: CTO: Fine...

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
Self: I’ve neverrr wanted to be home morrre in my life.

XO_Marek says:
All: And I never wanted to have a phaser in my hand as I do now.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Any ideas, Sirrrr?

CSO_Hayes says:
::Slams against the front of the vehicle:: ALL: They sure know how to make sure their passengers have a pleasant ride.

XO_Marek says:
CTO: I have one.  We must make contact with the rebellion members detained here. They can pass a message to their companions outside the compound.   We need to get in touch with Starfleet Command as soon as possible.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The hovercraft suddenly and sharply turns horizontal again as it lands with a thud on the landing grid.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Whispers:: XO: And avoid full-body cavity searrrches.

OPS_Spicer says:
CSO: Well, looking on the brighter side, since there is no vegetation, must be meat for dinner tonight. ::Smiles::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: I see... ::Raises an eyebrow:: Well, anyway, they have the same COM technology, so I think they can pass a message to the USS Hercules... They better do that... I think that that is our unique chance to get out of here.

CSO_Hayes says:
OPS: Indeed, Sir, but I wonder what kind of animals live in this area.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods to the XO:: XO: Underrrstood, Sirrr.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard Thug>  ::Gets out of the hovercraft rubbing his butt and walks to the back::  All: Okay, we're here.  You'll be taken aboard that transport ship over there...::Points:: with the rest of your Starfleet trash.  ::Motions for the guards to begin unlocking the prisoners from the seats in the hovercraft::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls at the guards::

XO_Marek says:
::Curses again at the Guard:: Guard.... $%$&%$%$% and you deserve it!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Lumbers out of the hovercraft, dragging the chains behind him::

OPS_Spicer says:
Guard Thug: Another ride? How very gracious of you, and very accommodating. ::Said sarcastically::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard Thug> All: Get moving!  ::Points his weapon at the crew::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rolls her eyes, and curses under her breath as she follows Bailey out::

XO_Marek says:
All: Take it easy now... We well have our opportunity to get even

CSO_Hayes says:
::Follows the others restraining herself from saying to the guards what she thinks of them::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards begin shoving the crew towards the transport ship while other guards keep their weapons aimed on the crew.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Stumbles toward the transport ship "accidentally" rubbing against the CSO and pinching the CTO's rear::

XO_Marek says:
::Looks all around the area:: Self: Gosh, we are really outnumbered here.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew is shoved towards the transport ship where the rest of the San Carlo crew is being herded into the transport.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
All: Rreow! ::Nearly leaps into the air:: OPS: Rrrick!

CSO_Hayes says:
::Turns her head to the OPS and looks at him wondering what he is doing::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard_Thug> ::Stops at the door to the transport ship:: All: Okay, in you go!  ::Motions for them to enter the transport::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Smiles even though he is rebuked by both ladies:: Self: They want me.

XO_Marek says:
::Accidentally hits the guard with his fist:: Guard: Sorry... ::Raises an eyebrow::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard_Thug> ::Slams his weapon over the XO's head then kicks him on the butt::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Kneels to help the XO up, growling at the guard::

CSO_Hayes says:
XO:, Sir!  Are you okay? ::Approaches the XO::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: I'm fine, Lieutenant, thanks.  ::Stands up::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard Thug> ::Shouts:: All: Walk in or go in horizontal....it's up to you!

XO_Marek says:
CSO: Thanks, Ensign.

OPS_Spicer says:
Guard: Why I outta' ...... ::Looks at the guard:: But lucky for you I won't.

XO_Marek says:
All: Do as I say, not as I do.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard Thug> ::Gives OPS a dirty look and holds up his weapon::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Sighs and flicks her ears back::

XO_Marek says:
Guard: Vengeance is the nectar of the Gods... remember that.

XO_Marek says:
::Walks to the transport::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Takes the two ladies one in each arm and enters the transport::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crews enter the transport vessel where they are reunited with the rest of the San Carlo's crew.  The holding bay looks like a Pepto Bismol Convention.

OPS_Spicer says:
CTO/CSO: C'mon ladies. We know when we aren't appreciated.

CSO_Hayes says:
OPS:, Sir... ? ::Looks at the three of them::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The doors slam shut as the transport engines engage.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Gives the OPS a look and whispers to the CSO:: CSO: He's always like this, just ignorrre him and he'll go away.

OPS_Spicer says:
ALL: Okay, let's have a personnel check. Sound off and let's make sure everyone is accounted for.

XO_Marek says:
All: What do you think about my suggestion on contacting the rebellion members?

CSO_Hayes says:
CTO: Thanks for the tip.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Sounds good rrright now, Sirrr.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The San Carlo crews see the senior staff as they enter the holding bay and gather around them.

CSO_Hayes says:
ALL: I think it's a good idea, Sir. We should also inspect this transport ship. Maybe we'll find something helpful for our potential escape.

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Fine.

XO_Marek says:
All: I want each of you to organize your respective department crew in order to proceed with our .... sort of plan.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Well, Sir, it is an excellent idea. We just need to take control of this transport, find where they are keeping the San Carlo, regain control of it, then contact the rebels and put an end to this mess.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO:, Sirrr, we may be able to fashion whateverrr tools they give us into some kind of weapon.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The transport lifts off and heads to the opposite side of the planet.

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Excellent suggestion. Proceed. I want the members of the SCSF gathered as soon as possible.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Organizes his department checking to ensure all are present.::

CSO_Hayes says:
::Sighs:: Self: I don't even know my personnel!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods to the XO and leaves to go gather her people::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Knowing the CSO is new to her post, organizes her department and begins introductions hoping to win some brownie points::

CSO_Hayes says:
OPS: Thanks for the help, Sir.

XO_Marek says:
OPS/CSO I want you to join forces. I think that the CTO's suggestion on making our weapons should be taken into account.

OPS_Spicer says:
CSO: My pleasure Ensign.

CSO_Hayes says:
XO/OPS: I think we should inspect the ship. See what can be opened, what can't, what we can use, etc.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The holding bay is free of guards.  There are a few doors that are closed around the perimeter.

XO_Marek says:
CSO: Very well. Organize your department to fulfill this task

CSO_Hayes says:
::Nods and turns to her department. gives out orders to start the inspection of the area::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Gets her people in a pow-wow and does an inspection of troops and a little emergency training::

OPS_Spicer says:
CSO: You take the starboard and I'll take the port. ::Mumbles something about cheese going nicely with port::

XO_Marek says:
::Thinks:: I will have a little talk with the SCSF team... ::Walks to where the Tactical Troops are gathering::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Stands as the XO approaches and salutes:: XO:, Sirrr. Trrrops rrready forrr inspection, Sirrr.

CSO_Hayes says:
OPS: Aye

XO_Marek says:
CTO: As you were, Lt.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Relaxes:: XO: Yes, Sirrr.

CSO_Hayes says:
::Walks to the first door she sees and inspect it to find out if it can be opened or not::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The door is locked.

XO_Marek says:
CTO/TAC Troops: As may know, our Operations and Science Departments are in the process of investigating how to ... make our own weapons with Kezlarites parts.

CSO_Hayes says:
::Sees that the door is locked and looks around to find something to open it with::

XO_Marek says:
CTO/TAC Troops: But until we are able to make them,  I want every hand-to-hand combat specialist to be in a permanent watch.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: XO: Understood. ::Motions to a group of officers:: We have enough herrre to have a 3 shift, 3 perrrson team.

XO_Marek says:
CTO/TAC Troops: The rest of you, with the exception of the SFSC team, are to assist the rest of the senior officers.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The transport flies along smoothly as the steady hum of the engines echo in the holding bay.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Tries the doors on the port side of the holding area::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The doors on the port side are locked.

CSO_Hayes says:
::Sighs as she doesn't seem to find something close to her to use to open the door. looks down and sees her chains and tries to rip off a piece of it::

XO_Marek says:
CTO/TAC Troops: You have your orders. Dismiss!

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Yes, Sirrr. ::Calls 3 of her hand-to-hand comet specialists over.:: Officers: You thrrree have firrrst watch.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Tries to open the control panel next to the door:: CTO: Bao, I need you to open this panel for me. It seems to be stuck.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO breaks off a piece of the chain.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Tilts her head:: OPS: You surrre? Trrry again.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks at her with his hands on his hips:: CTO: Are you trying to embarrass me? Of course I am sure.

CSO_Hayes says:
Self: Good! ::Gets up and shakes a bit to let go of the pain breaking off that piece gave her:: Self: Let's try it.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
OPS: Okay. ::Walks over to where he is.:: Yes?

XO_Marek says:
CTO/SCSF: I want you in permanent custody of the Senior Staff.... the way things are going, I think that the Kezlarites will be rougher on the officers, just to break the moral

CSO_Hayes says:
::Takes the piece of chain and tries to open the door::

XO_Marek says:
CTO/SFSC: Ok, let's move people!

OPS_Spicer says:
CTO: Yes?? What do you mean yes? Open this panel if it wouldn't interrupt your day too much.

CSO_Hayes says:
Self: Not working! ::Looks around and finally sees the panel! uses her piece of chain and tries to open it::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Rolls her eyes:: OPS: Surrre. ::Extends her claws and wedges them under the panel::

XO_Marek says:
::Walks heavily, dragging his chains, where the CSO is:: CSO: I see you have done some progress here...

XO_Marek says:
::Sees the CTO, OPS and CSO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO begins jamming the piece of chain under the panel door.  It opens slightly.

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: Yes, Sir. I was able to break part of my chains. I am now trying to use the piece of chain to open this panel. Maybe we can open .... ah... see it's opening slightly ....

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CTO wedges her claws under the panel door and opens it slightly.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Begins wiggling her claws, trying to open the panel::

CSO_Hayes says:
::Moves the piece of chain in the slight opening in the hope it'll hope wider::

OPS_Spicer says:
CTO: That's it. Good. Keep going. You almost have it.

XO_Marek says:
CSO: Let me help you....

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Growls and pulls harder::

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: At almost the same time both the CTO's and the CSO's panels flop open.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Smiles and gives her a hug:: CTO: I knew you could do it. Why, poor little ol' me couldn't open that panel for anything. Thanks. ::Grins::

XO_Marek says:
::Assist the CSO with the chains::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Big eyes. thinks" why is he hugging me?"::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Inside the panels there are numerous circuits and conduits.  Little lights are flashing.

XO_Marek says:
CTO/CSO: Well done!

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: Here we go, Sir! Thanks for the help. ::Keeps the piece of chain in hand in case she'll need it later::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Begins to work with the electronics on the controls to activate the door::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Spicer touches a couple of the circuits and sparks fly.

OPS_Spicer says:
Self: Whoa Nellie!! ::Jumps back a bit:: That was close.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Sheathes her claws and flexes her paws, working out the kinks:: OPS: You surrre you'll be alrrright with that?

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: I should have paid better attention in class when the teacher talked about circuits and conduits! :: looking at the panel ::

XO_Marek says:
::Sees the sparks near the OPS:: OPS: Be careful!

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks closer at the electronics:: CTO: Yeah. Just slipped a bit. I will be fine. XO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Marek says:
CSO: ::Raises an eyebrow:: It's too late now.. ::Doesn't understand the joke::

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: Indeed…umm...I wonder which one will work together to open the door. I wouldn't want to activate an alarm our something.  ::Studies the circuits::

OPS_Spicer says:
CSO: I saw you had a piece of your chain. I recommend you short out terminus A with terminus F. That should activate the door.

XO_Marek says:
CSO: Try this side circuit...it seems isolated from the rest. ::Points to the brown one::

CSO_Hayes says:
::Looks at OPS and XO wondering which one has the right solution::

XO_Marek says:
OPS: What do you think?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Tries to find a small piece of metal for the OPS::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Well, Sir, I agree. That is why I suggest shorting the terminus A with F.

XO_Marek says:
OPS: Well, it seems logical...

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Finds a scrap of metal and hands it to the OPS:: OPS: Use this.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Takes the scrap and waits for the CSO to try his idea first.::

CSO_Hayes says:
::Nods and uses her piece of chain and shorts terminus A and F::

XO_Marek says:
CSO: And your opinion, Ensign?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO shorts out terminus A & F and a large door on the ceiling opens up.  Hundreds of pairs of boots rain down on the crew in the holding bay.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Ducks:: All: Owww!

XO_Marek says:
::Covers his already beaten head::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Hugs the wall dodging the falling boots::

CSO_Hayes says:
XO: Seems that we get boots now, Sir!  We can try your option next!

XO_Marek says:
CSO: I see, Ensign.
