Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

A large contingent of the Trandarus Raiders seized the USS San Carlo and put all surviving members of the crew in a cargo bay under heavy guard.  The ship is now on course to the pirate's main base of operations.

After the unsuccessful questioning of Captain Marek and tactical officer Arzas, Commander Takkel, the commander of the pirates ordered his men to infect the Captain and Arzas with the deadly Florox virus and threw them back into the cargo bay with the rest of the crew.

EO Jo who was left in command in the absence of Captain Marek ordered the crew to initiate Baker 02, basically a free for all to overtake the cargo bay guards at all cost, on his command.  SO Stargazer has somehow ordered the computer to beam in two separate packages, one containing special glasses, which he is passing out to the crew.

The ship has suffered several casualties since the invasion began.  There are less than 60% able-bodied crewmembers left to fight.

Captain Marek and Tactical officer Arzas are being tended to by what's left of the medical personnel.

Time lapse: 1 minute

Host CO_Marek says:
::Tries not to show the great pain he is suffering:: TO: Resist, kid, we are going to make it!

FCO_Fleet_Footed_Deer says:
::Looks around the cargo bay and looks for the EO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew receives the special glasses from SO Stargazer.  The SO then begins to mix a concoction from the other package.

TO_Arzas says:
::Whimpers and puts his paws over his head::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Low voice:: ALL: Everyone ready. Glasses on.

FCO_Fleet_Footed_Deer says:
::Puts on the glasses::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks to the SO with some confusion, but puts the glasses on::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Puts on glasses::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Looks around, feeling useless, but puts the glasses on anyway::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Lying on the floor, nods to the EO, indicating him that it is time to proceed::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Places the glasses on and smiles as now he is smiling, styling, and profiling::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Thinks:: What I would give to turn the clock backwards...

SO_Stargazer says:
::Places a pair on the Captain::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks to his Captain and nods in return::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Grabs the glasses with his good arm::

Host CO_Marek says:
SO: Don't get too closer to us!

EO_Jo says:
::Nods to the rest of the crew, letting them know it will be soon::

TO_Arzas says:
::Peeks out from behind his paws and looks at the CO::

FCO_Fleet_Footed_Deer says:
::Finds the EO and gives a very small wave for him to acknowledge she is there::

SO_Stargazer says:
EO: We'll have 45 seconds from the time this hits the deck. ::Reveals round container in hand only to the EO::

EO_Jo says:
::Moves over towards the SO and whispers:: SO: Aye.  Let me know so I can notify everyone else...

OPS_Wolfe says:
SO: What is going on?

Host CO_Marek says:
::Indicates a MO to check the TO's condition::

SO_Stargazer says:
OPS: You'll see. Whatever you do, do not take off those glasses or you won't.

EO_Jo says:
::Whispers to OPS:: OPS: Baker 02...  When I give the signal.

TO_Arzas says:
CO: Are we going to die, Sir?

MO_Jacobs says:
::Walks over to the TO and begins a scan as ordered by the CO::

Host CO_Marek says:
TO: No, Arzas, we are not going to die! You listen to me carefully! We are not going to die!

OPS_Wolfe says:
EO: Ohhh... right.

EO_Jo says:
::Starts to get nervous as the moment for calling Baker 02 comes closer.  He watches all the captors.  Then picks one to attack::

TO_Arzas says:
CO: But it's not looking good.

SO_Stargazer says:
EO: Here we go. ::Gives the container a final hard shake, and slams it to the deck::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks down then looks to the captor he's picked:: ALL: Baker 02!  ::He shouts:: NOW!!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew all look like "Men In Black" and all at once the crew initiates Baker 02 as a bright flash of light suddenly lights up the cargo bay.  It is a free for all as the crew attack the guards and the guards fight back.  Several San Carlo crew are killed instantly by the weapons fire from the guards.

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Eyes a fellow and smiles and blows him a kiss grinning widely::

Host CO_Marek says:
TO: No, it is not looking good, but we have managed to be victorious in worst situations than these...

MO_Jacobs says:
::Takes up defensive positions... frantic::

EO_Jo says:
::Jumps at the captor he's picked and slams his fist into his gut, knowing others are joining him:: ALL: For the Captain!!

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Attacks a guard throwing a right cross to the chin::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Grabs a pirate's weapon from him and shoots him::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A minute into the free for all, anestizine gas begins pouring into the cargo bay from the overhead vents.  Several people begin choking and passing out including the guards.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Shouts:: All: Don't give up! Continue fighting!!!

SO_Stargazer says:
::Shoots at more pirates::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Looks around, hearing the gas... instinctively covers his mouth::

EO_Jo says:
::Kicks at his captor, then runs to a control panel.  He Karate chops one captor at the back of the neck:: Self: I've got to make it to that panel.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Begins to feel woozy::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Soon most of the people in the cargo bay pass out

TO_Arzas says:
::Coughs and puts his paws over his nose::

SO_Stargazer says:
COM: Vent the gas from this Cargo Bay.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Only a few are able to resist the gas however they too are succumbing to the effects.

EO_Jo says:
::Starts feeling the effects of the gas.  He leans against the wall, tapping his command codes into the control panel::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Grabs the weapon from the surprised guard and pauses thinking "I look marvelous"::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer does not respond as it has been taken offline.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Tries to remain conscious::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: After two minutes everyone in the cargo bay is passed out.

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Begins to feel woozy as the gas penetrates his lungs::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Enters in the Vulcan Realm of Dreams::

EO_Jo says:
::Hits at the control panel with his fist.  Then slumps to the floor, and curses::

TO_Arzas says:
::Dreams about running his own waffle house::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Looks around one final time, swearing to himself and falling onto the deck, his head hitting with a resounding "thud"::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Walks up to the cargo bay doors and signals the guards to vent the gas from the cargo bay::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Floats slowly down to the deck smiling and winking at one of the guards::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The gas begins venting from the cargo bay.

EO_Jo says:
::Twitches and flails his arms and legs about as the gas starts to really effect him, he starts having a dream of hopeless struggle with an enemy that can't be beaten::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Still in the Vulcan Nowhere Land::

TO_Arzas says:
::Drools, thinking about waffles dripping with syrup::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Hits the control panel and opens the cargo bay doors.  Slowly walks into the cargo bay surveying the bodies lying about.  Orders a few guards to begin collecting the weapons and moving out the unconscious guards::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Soon all the unconscious guards are taken out of the cargo bay and replaced with conscious ones.

EO_Jo says:
::Starts to sweat a bit from his struggles with his nightmare:: Self: I have to get away...

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Dreams he is standing in front of a mirror admiring his clothes reminiscent of Liberacci::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Dreams he is taking a very large bite out of a very yellow pepper::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
Guards: Find the Medical officer and bring him here.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Dreaming he's the President of the United Federation of Planets::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Dreams he is playing a song with the Vulcan lyra::

FCO_Fleet_Footed_Deer says:
::Dreams of her rite of cleansing before her first warrior trial::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards sift through all the dead and unconscious bodies looking for the Medical Officer.  They find him underneath a couple of Starfleet crewmen and pick him up by his feet and drag him over to the door.

EO_Jo says:
::Is so worn out from his battle with the pirates and his nightmare, he falls completely asleep::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Begins to wake up, groggily::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Watches as the MO is dragged over.  Looks down at the unconscious MO::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
Guards: Stand him up!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Two guards pull the MO to his feet and support him on each side by his arms.

MO_Jacobs says:
::Blinks a few times, still nearly asleep::

Host CO_Marek says:
:::Dreams that finally climb that high peak near Kulckus::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Wake up!  ::Backhands the MO across the face::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Wakes up nearly instantly, letting lose a very large and very long string of human profanities::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Dreams he walks into a room full of beautiful people and they all stop to look at him::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
Guards: Hold him!

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Looks at the MO:: MO: You are the medical officer?

FCO_Fleet_Footed_Deer says:
::Watches as the fierce wolf fights with the bear::

EO_Jo says:
::Rolls over to his right side and puts his hands together, using them as a pillow he sleeps.  Shortly after a pool of drool forms under his hands which are soaking wet::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Nods slowly:: Takkel: Yes... what do you want?

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Who is responsible for this?  ::Motions with his hand to the mess of bodies lying on the deck::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Grins:: Takkel: Well, you see, we were listening to the ball game, and one of your guards didn't agree with a call... and, well, we did. Then things got out of hand I guess.

EO_Jo says:
::Starts to get a headache, and rolls around to his other side, still using his hands for a pillow::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Twitches in his sleep as though he were jive walking down the street to the tune of the BeeGee's Staying Alive::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Grimaces and backhands the MO across the face again::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Where is the vaccine for the Florox virus?

MO_Jacobs says:
Takkel: Ouch... ::Looks up:: Vaccine?

EO_Jo says:
::Shakes his head intermittently as his headache worsens::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Don't act stupid, even if you are.  The vaccine...where is it?

Host CO_Marek says:
::The virus begins to affect his physiology... Now he dreams he is in a karaoke bar, singing "La Bamba" with Captain Kirk singing the chorus voice::

MO_Jacobs says:
Takkel: Well, now you've gone and hurt my feelings. Even if I did know what the hell you were talking about I'd probably never tell you now.

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Fine...more of your fellow officers will die!  Guards: Infect him with the virus!

TO_Arzas says:
::Dreams his is the musical "Cats"::

MO_Jacobs says:
Takkel: Wait wait wait...

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A guard moves up to the MO and cuts his arm.  He then injects the virus into the open wound.  The guards throw the MO back into the mass of unconscious bodies.

Host Commander_Takkel says:
MO: Too little...too late.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Dreams.... "Para bailar la bamba.... Come Tyberius, sing it!::

EO_Jo says:
::Starts to wake up.  He wavers as he starts to sit up, he supports himself with the wall.  He finally remembers where he is and lies there quite, pretending he's unconscious::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Turns and exits the cargo bay::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Begins to stir::

MO_Jacobs says:
Takkel: It's in the skull!

MO_Jacobs says:
Takkel: The one I traded for the diamond!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The crew begins to awaken slowly.  They begin surveying the damage they caused.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Slowly wakes up, with a terrible headache and a massive rush on his skin, caused by the virus::

EO_Jo says:
::Watches Takkel leave, but quickly closes his eyes as a guard turns back::

MO_Jacobs says:
::Chuckles to himself, even as the deadly seriousness of what had just happened began to set in::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Awakens and looks around instantly disappointed he isn't with all the beautiful people who were admiring his extremely good looks::

TO_Arzas says:
::Sings in his sleep "The rum tum tugger is a curious cat...."::

Host CO_Marek says:
All: What...what...what happened!? Report!!!

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Stands and surveys the bodies:: EO: Sir, 23 crew dead and 17 are badly injured.

MO_Jacobs says:
::Turns to the CO:: CO: Well... they took me, demanded to know what happened, I told them nothing... then they wanted to know about the Vaccine... and I told them everything I knew, which ironically, was nothing... then they decided to infect me with it... and now we're here.

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to OPS:: OPS: See if you can help with the wounded... ::Turns to the Captain::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Scoots behind a bunch of crates and out of sight::

Host CO_Marek says:
MO: Darn, those bastards...

Host CO_Marek says:
EO/OPS: Report!!!!

EO_Jo says:
::Takes a few steps towards the Captain:: CO: Well... Baker 02 failed Sir... ::Points to the MO:: Now our doctor is infected to Sir.. Sorry.. My fault Sir.  Should have known they would have been ready for us.. ::Puts his head down in shame::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Begins to move the dead to one corner of the bay::

OPS_Wolfe says:
CO: Sir?!?

SO_Stargazer says:
::Opens an air vent cover in the floor, slips inside and replaces the cover:: ::Heads for the nearest weapons room::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Looks to the EO questioningly as if to say "Is the CO able to command or is he too far gone?"::

Host CO_Marek says:
EO: Never mind, there are some of us whom screwed things up before you.  Our main task is still to find a way to regain control of the ship. But first you must find a way to isolate the TO, the MO and me from the rest of the crew before we spread the infection

Host Commander_Takkel says:
<Pirate on the Bridge> Takkel: Internal sensors are picking up someone in the ventilation tubes, Commander.

MO_Jacobs says:
::Nods, finally realizing what has happened...whispers:: CO: Sir... what are we going to do?! We don't really have a vaccine, and I don't even know where the fake one is... do we still have it? My God...

SO_Stargazer says:
::Arrives at weapons room a little later, drops inside::

TO_Arzas says:
::Now snoring::

Host CO_Marek says:
MO: One priority at a time.  ::Notices the missing SO:: Where is Stargazer?

Host Commander_Takkel says:
::Stands from the command chair:: Pirate OPS: Send security to deal with it and have the guards in the cargo bay secure all exits to that area!  Erect security forcefields around the intruder!

EO_Jo says:
::Lifts his head up:: CO: Aye Sir. ::Looks over to OPS:: OPS: Change of orders... See if you can find... ::Points to the cargo containers:: Move the infected behind those containers... That will have to do for a shelter for now.. Until we can find a better place to quarantine them. ::Turns around to survey the wounded and dead as he thinks::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A security forcefield goes up around the weapons room.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Quickly grabs several phasers, multiple clips, and a sniping phaser rifle::

SO_Stargazer says:
::Goes back into the vents, and heads for OPS::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Several guards arrive outside the weapons room.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The SO cannot proceed through the vents as the security forcefield is preventing his escape.

Host CO_Marek says:
EO/OPS: Be sure that we are properly isolated from the rest... ::Glances at the TO then whispers to the EO and OPS:: There is not much time left.

TO_Arzas says:
::Kicks a back leg in his sleep::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards enter the weapons room, head for the vent and enter.

SO_Stargazer says:
Self: Can't go that way: Lies in wait for a head to pop through the vent cover::

Host CO_Marek says:
EO: Again, where is the SO?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard> ::Holds his weapon, pushes it upwards through the vent and fires it at the SO.

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to the Captain in surprise as he was lost in thought:: CO: SO?  Oh.. I'm not sure, Sir.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Sees the weapon come through the vent cover and moves out of the line of fire::

EO_Jo says:
::Looks around for the SO:: ALL: Anyone seen the SO?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Guard> ::Activates a photon grenade and tosses it upwards into the tube where the SO is hiding::

Host CO_Marek says:
EO: Find the SO and bring him here on the double!  We cannot allow this type of action!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The grenade explodes on impact, seriously injuring the SO but not killing him.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards in the cargo bay seal off all exits.

Host CO_Marek says:
::Barely manages to stand up, leans against the wall, trying to regain control of the situation::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guard in the vent tube climbs up and crawls toward the injured SO.  He grabs the SO by the arms and drags him down and out of the tubes.

EO_Jo says:
::Turns to OPS:: OPS: Make a temporary quarantine shelter for the CO, TO and MO out of those cargo containers. ::Orders some others to help OPS:: Self: Now what? ::He walks over to the cargo containers to help with the shelter::

Host CO_Marek says:
All: Listen up, we are in a tight stop, but only discipline and determination will lead us to overcome the situation.

SO_Stargazer says:
::Pulls out a phaser and shoots the guard::

OPS_Wolfe says:
EO: Yes Sir. ::Begins to erect a quarantine area::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The SO's phaser hits the guard but not before the other guards grab the SO and subdue him, stripping him of all weapons then drag him back to the cargo bay.

EO_Jo says:
::Nods to his Captain:: CO: Try to rest... ::Whispers:: Time's running out fast. ::Continues to erect a quarantine shelter::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards open the cargo bay doors and toss the SO back in towards the rest of the crew.

EO_Jo says:
::Looks over to the cargo bay doors as the SO is tossed in.  Quickly moves over to help him:: SO: Why did you go and do that? ::Pauses and moves back:: Did they infect you too?

Host CO_Marek says:
::Put all his strength together to continue speaking:: All: As soon as the SO appears I want to speak with him..

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The guards leave the cargo bay and the doors are sealed.

MO_Jacobs says:
::Follows the other condemned, making his way to the  shelter::

OPS_Wolfe says:
::Clicks his tongue:: Self: At this rate we will all be infected or worse.

Host Commander_Takkel says:
*Cargo Bay*: Attention in the cargo bay.  This is Commander Takkel.  If you persist in resisting us, you will all die.

EO_Jo says:
::Looks up as he hears Wolfe, then listens to Takkel::

Host Commander_Takkel says:
*Cargo Bay*: We are headed to my base of operations where you will be dealt with.

MO_Jacobs says:
::Mocks the man's superior speech with mouth movements. Wishing he could just tear him to shreds::

Host CO_Marek says:
::Hears the COM:: Self: Darn...

EO_Jo says:
::Looks over to the Captain, then continues with his job of making a quarantine shelter:: Self: Now what?

Host CO_Marek says:
All: People, listen up. Although we are running out of time , we should reorganize ourselves before continue with these fruitless attempts.  Let's consider another tactical approach to our situation.
