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

The crew made their move on the cave stronghold of the Kezlarite slave camp guards.  A fierce battle ensued with the crew of the USS Hercule joining the fight.

The lifeless bodies of warriors from both sides litter the battlefield.

Up to now all attempts to take out the guard's cannon have failed and the San Carlo's barracks crew is running low on ammunition for their cannon.

Commander Marek and his team were able to capture one semi high-ranking Kezlarite officer and although seriously wounded he is being cared for by the crew holed up in the barracks.

The battle continues….

Time lapse: 2 minutes

CNS_Alana says:
Prisoner:  Where is the communications equipment?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Dives for cover::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The prisoner is becoming very weak.  He's close to death.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Removes as much of the blood as he can and begins to wrap the cloth, folded, around the center of the wound.. trying to tie it as tight as he can::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Prisoner> CNS: We only have our personal communicators.

CNS_Alana says:
::Shakes the prisoner as he seems to be falling deeper into his trance::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Doc what are you doing here? My leg, it's hit, Bad I think. Help me up, we need to press the attack. Is Alana alright?  What happened to your uniform. Ouch, my leg really hurts.

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins to pat the prisoner down to get his communicator::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: All the explosions inside the cave are causing the cave walls to weaken.  Big chunks of the cave begin dropping.

ACTION: The prisoner falls unconscious.  The CNS doesn't find the communicator on his person.

XO_Marek says:
::Dives for cover behind some old rusty crates, then tries to see what is in front of them::

Prisoner:  We...  ::Notices the prisoner go unconscious, shakes him trying to wake him to no avail::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The prisoner dies.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Watches the area surrounding the CO and him.. guarding the CO with his rifle::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Slightly out of it from shock, and fatigue:: CMO: No time we need to knock out the cannon. Where's Marek?  His team was doing recon.  I don't think we can trust the government here.  Why is your uniform all torn?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Signals his team to begin an emergency retreat from the cave::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The battle begins to slow down as the crew overtakes the last of the guards.  Dead and wounded litter the ground.  Those not injured fall to the ground in exhaustion.

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: Sir, with all due respect, shut up and sit down. Just a minute is all you need, then you can go.  As to your questions, I don't have any answers.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Where's my sword? Hand me my sword and I will cleave theses foul beast and the rock will run red with their blood!

XO_Marek says:
::To this team:: Team: Okay, lets make it to that group of crates there.  ::Points:: Let's go!

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: If only we had swords, Sir.  I'm pretty handy with one as well. ::Checks the CO's forehead for a fever, wondering where all of this strange talk is coming from::

CNS_Alana says:
::Calls to MO::  MO: This guy is dead!  I could not get much out of him!

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands and walks to the doorway of the barracks::

XO_Marek says:
::Arrives there and begins inspecting the crates in order to see if anything useful can be found::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Looks around and notices the lack of firing and battle cries:: CO: Sir, I think it's over.  ::Stands up and looks around::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The last of the cave crew exits the cave just in time.  The cave entrance collapses.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Moans, then winces badly as tries to use his injured leg::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Extends a hand towards the CO:: CO: Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Stumbles over to a rock and sits down::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Hey doc, am I alive, or are these the blasted plains of hell?

XO_Marek says:
::Begins to hear an increasing and creepy silence, like those silences, which are typical after a battle::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Chuckles:: CO: You're alive. ::Yells:: WE'RE ALL ALIVE!! ::Fires two shots into the sky::

XO_Marek says:
Team: Okay, let's move back to our previous position.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks around and sees the fighting has stopped::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CMO: Great.  What's our status and where is Marek?

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Collapses onto the dirt::

CMO_Sovok says:
CO: Follow me.. We'll find him.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Wraps an arm around the CO, helping take weight off of his leg as they walk::

XO_Marek says:
::Rushes to rendezvous with the rest of the crew::

CNS_Alana says:
::Steps outside and looks around for CO and XO::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Looks down at his leg:: CMO: Unless this rock is about to go away, I think he can come to me for now. Ranks, and injuries, have their privileges.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Grabs one of his wounded comrades and his team begins to do the same:: Team: Leave no one behind.  Hoo-aaaahhh.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Helps the CO down onto the rock:: CO: Understood. ::Looks around the field for the injured::

CNS_Alana says:
::Sees CO and runs toward him::

XO_Marek says:
::Arrives where the CO and the CMO are::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Several of the Hercule crew and San Carlo crew begin picking up their wounded.

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: Status?

XO_Marek says:
CO: It was useless, Sir.  We couldn't find anything.  We just found some old empty crates.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Clutches his rifle with white knuckles, looking around the battlefield.. finally realizing the rubber-band effect coming to his knees from adrenaline coming in constant torrents::

CNS_Alana says:
::Noticing CO is wounded, she stops abruptly::

XO_Marek says:
CO: At least, I think we won the battle, Sir. ::Looks around:: Although the cost was really high.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Suddenly spots Alana and smiles broadly at her:: CNS: Tis but a flesh wound. I told you I'd see you again!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Heaves his big furry body up from the rock and helps the wounded::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  I interrogated the prisoner before he died.  He said that our ship was on the other side of this base and more guards are coming!

CMO_Sovok says:
::Walks the field, looking for a familiar face among the dead and living::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: WHAT? The ship is here?!

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Bends down to examine a wounded crewmember.  Sees his injuries are severe and yells:: MO: Medic!

XO_Marek says:
CNS: Do you know where it is exactly?!

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  Sir, he would not tell me how to get it back here, but the guards all have communicators, perhaps if you could get some of them?

Host CO_Kerst says:
XO: Grab Bao, and take a small team and secure the ship!

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: MR. SPICER!

XO_Marek says:
CO: Understood, Sir. I also would try to obtain some working communicators from the guards.

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  Can I help you to the barracks to rest?

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: No, we're going to follow Marek to the ship. ::Points to his leg:: Although at a somewhat slower pace.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Hears the CO yelling and runs to him:: CO: Yes, Sir?

CMO_Sovok says:
::Stands still, slightly shocked at what he had just done::

CNS_Alana says:
::Takes a deep breath, being glad to see that The CO's wounds are not extremely extensive::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Gets to her feet and tries to walk over where the rest of the crew is::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Lieutenant, get the Special Forces Team and follow me, on the double!

CMO_Sovok says:
::Blinks and removes the blood on his brow.. looking around silently::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Sir, I will be by your side, you can lean on me.

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: We're moving to secure the ship, help Sovok arrange the crew into the three groups, the minor wounded. Those that need immediate medical attention and the dead.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There isn't much left of the Special Forces Team, only three members remain uninjured.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Leans on Alana, trying not to walk, or show how much his leg is hurt:: CNS: Let go find my ship!

XO_Marek says:
::Thinks for a minute:: CNS: You mentioned that the ship was on the other side of the base didn't you?  ::Raises an eyebrow::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Yes, Sirrr. ::Rounds up her battle-weary troops::

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Shakes his head wondering why he was yelled at and meets with the Doctor:: CMO: Point out the dead Doc, and I will have them moved over there. ::Points to an empty area::

CNS_Alana says:
XO: Yes, the prisoner said, just outside this camp area!

CMO_Sovok says:
::Starts at Spicer's comment:: OPS: What was that, Rick?

XO_Marek says:
CNS: Fine.. ::Raises an eyebrow:: 

OPS_Spicer says:
CMO: Need help with the triage? I can move the deceased over to that area::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: We must remain alert.  From what we know, fresh guards can be waiting for us.

CNS_Alana says:
::Puts her arm around the CO's waist and walks as fast as he can limp::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Sees Marek going in the direction he came from:: XO: Marek, I came in from that way, no ship, try that way. ::Points::

CMO_Sovok says:
OPS: I'll tend to the ones injured however possible.  You sort out the dead.  If they don't have a pulse, they can't be saved. ::Walks off to investigate the wounded::

XO_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CO: I see... so the other way it is. ::Runs::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO and CTO along with a few of the Special Team heads off to find the San Carlo.

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

OPS_Spicer says:
CMO: Right. ::Motions for a couple of officers to help him move the dead::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Tries to cover the pain that shoots up his leg with every step with some humor:: CNS: Hmm, new outfit? I haven't seen that one before. You know, you look good in pink.

CMO_Sovok says:
::Helps those who can still move to an area for the slightly injured men::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Thinks then returns to the CO:: CO: I managed to get this off of one of the guards. ::Hands him a communication device then returns to sorting the dead from the wounded::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Grab every cartridge magazine that you may find among the dead guards in our way.  We can make a good use of them.

CNS_Alana says:
::Wants to snuggle up to her Captain, but wanting to get out of danger also::

Host CO_Kerst says:
OPS: Thanks.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Hands the XO a couple she had already looted::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Just over a small hill they can see the holding area.  There are several ships stored there.  A chain link type fence surrounds the area but because of the battle in the camp, all the guards were diverted to defend the camp and the holding area is unguarded.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Leaning on Alana, slowly follows after the XO's team::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  Thanks!  ::Continues to look ahead as they walk::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Look there! ::Points at the holding area::

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: They better not have scratch the paint or they'll really pay. ::Smiles weakly trying not to grimace in pain::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Looks up:: XO: I hope this is as easy as it looks, Sirrr

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Let's find our ship. We better split in two teams. I take the right, you take the left.

CNS_Alana says:
::Lifts her head back and laughs::

CMO_Sovok says:
::Makes his way with the wounded towards the shipyard::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: XO: Got it. ::Takes half of the special team and heads left::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  you think about the paint at such a time as this?  you must really LOVE her!

OPS_Spicer says:
::Returns to the CMO:: CMO: Doc, we have 19 dead including the USS Hercule.

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Watch for possible booby traps on the fence and inside the area

CMO_Sovok says:
OPS: A high price, Mr. Spicer, a high price.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Enters the barracks carrying two more dead crew:: OPS: Where you want them, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: Well, as Captain, the welfare of the ship is my first priority. And also a ship in poor condition would reflect badly on Starfleet, and therefore on the Federation. And I don't want it being said that I made the Federation look bad by having a ship in…ugh… ::Grimaces:: poor condition.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Nods:: XO: Gotcha!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO's team finds the entrance gate.  It's locked.

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Grins::

OPS_Spicer says:
Bailey: Over there, Lieutenant.  ::Shakes his head as the number of dead has increased:: Self: Damn those Kezlarians. Yet, freedom never comes without a high price.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bailey> ::Nods to OPS then lays the bodies with the others::

CNS_Alana says:
CO:  You take such good care of all your...things?  ::Grinning::

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Let's proceed.  ::Raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Looks to the top of the rise they're climbing, hoping it isn't too much father::

XO_Marek says:
::Rushes to find an entrance to the area::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO's team finds the entrance gate.  It's locked.

CNS_Alana says:
::Trying to push forward with CO by her side, up the hill::

XO_Marek says:
::Sees the entrance::  Team member:: Let's try to blow it up with our rifles.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: No. Those things I really care about I take even better care of. ::Looks her right in the eye and lets the rest go unspoken::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Special Forces Team member> XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Aims his rifle at the gate::

CNS_Alana says:
CO: We have got to hurry, I hate to think of what would happen if we are still here when those other reinforcements arrive!

XO_Marek says:
Special Forces Team member: Fire!!!

XO_Marek says:
::Fire over what seems to be the lock of the entrance::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO and Special Forces team member fire their rifles at the gate.  The lock falls to the ground and the chain with it.

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: I'm hobbling as fast as I can. If Marek can secure the ship, we'll beam the rest up then scee-daddle out of here after we leave them a few parting gifts to think about.

XO_Marek says:
Special Forces Team member: Let's proceed inside the area.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Wonderful plan, Sir.

XO_Marek says:
::Shouts to the CTO:: CTO: Over here!!! ::Wishes he had a COM badge::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CTO and her team approach the front gate.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sighs and plops to the ground in a sitting position as exhaustion and a heavy heart at the loss of so many comrades overtakes him::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Sirrr?

XO_Marek says:
CTO: Let's move! Let's find the San Carlo!

Host CO_Kerst says:
::Reaches the top of the small hill. Below they can see the ship holding area:: CNS: Well, if I knew it was here all along I would of come here first.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Leans against the wall exhausted::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
::Trots next to him:: XO: Alrrrihgt, Sirrr.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: When we get home, I would like to personally see to it that you have good tender care.

XO_Marek says:
::Gives a wide glance at the area:: Self, nervously:: Where is it? Where is it?

Host CO_Kerst says:
CNS: If you're going to be my personal care giver, I might have to get injured more often. ::Grins, then grimaces, then grins again::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The XO, CTO and Special Forces Team open the gate and enters the holding area.  Several ships are stored there.  When they begin searching, the CTO suddenly hears the sound of footsteps and heavy panting rapidly approaching their position.
