Be Careful of What You Wish For?? part 11
Mission #330   Stardate 10601.12

The Pharaoh created harmonic resonance and directed it to the planet. A raise in temperature was detected in the original area where the away team met the Excalbians.
On the planet's surface, the away team was attacked by an unknown number of attackers. All they saw were flying spears and a loud cry in the distance, which was quickly cut off. 
The Lt Rydyll was injured by a spear in her left arm. And currently, Lt Hawkes and Lt Sanford were ordered to attempt to circle around and locate the enemy.
The rest of the team are tending to the injured Rydyll.

CO_Sacul says:
:: looks out into the forest and shouts::  Others:  Is that the best you can do???
FCO_Hawkes says:
::picks up three spears, two in one hand and one in the other, moves over to the OPS::  OPS:  Well Brent.  Shall we go a hunting?
CO_Sacul says:
:: moves to one side of the base camp and creates a diversion ::  Others:  Come on.....haven't you got any imagination?
CMO_Balena says:
::grabs the broke part of the spear and looks at the captain:: CO: Ma'am I'm going to need some help
OPS_Sanford says:
::Grabs a few spears as well and some more rope.::  FCO:  I was thinking that we could attach a bundle of leaves to the bottoms of our boots so that the noise when we step in the mud will be reduced.

ACTION: Almost as if someone expected that call.... 3 spears from different directions fly towards the Captain at hit her in the right shoulder area.

FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Might work.
CMO_Balena says:
::sees the captain get hit:: ALL: CAPTAIN!!
FCO_Hawkes says:
::sees the CO take one for the team::  CO:  Captain!
CEO_Rydyll says:
::keeps her eyes closed until she hears the doctor cry out for the Captain::
CMO_Balena says:
::drops the broke spear and moves over to her::
CO_Sacul says:
:: falls back and shouts ::  Others:  That still sucks!!!!
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  You missed my head!!!
OPS_Sanford says:
::Hears everyone reacting and sees the Captain down on the ground.::  Self:  Oh no.  FCO:  We should hurry and locate them.
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  All-right.  After you.
CMO_Balena says:
::kneels down next to the CO:: CO: Captain relax let me take care of those wounds.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::tucks her left hand under her right arm so she can move and heads over to the Captain::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Grabs some leaves and grass and puts some of it under his boot.  He uses the rope to tie it to his feet.  He gives some to Cooper.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
::takes the leaves and attaches it to his boots::
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  It's just a flesh wound.  I've had worse before.....can't really remember them riht now.......
FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks out beyond the camp, eyeing the tree line.::  OPS:  Ever get the feeling you're walking into a trap?
CMO_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am I would like to get this spear out of you before you do anything else
CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Captain, as long as we remain down, the advantage will be theirs.  I request that I be allowed to return to the fight.
CO_Sacul says:
CEO: If you are able to, then by all means.

ACTION: FCO and OPS spot a group of 2 people huddled behind a small hill.

OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  We may be getting into one but we'll have to hope we're smarter than they are.
CMO_Balena says:
::feels around the spear and looks at the captain:: CO: Brace yourself captain
CO_Sacul says:
:: grits her teeth so the CMO can remove the spear ::
CMO_Balena says:
::grabs the spear and pulls it out::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::nods and moves back to her small pile of spears::
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Here's to hope.  ::stands up::  Let’s be sneaky.

ACTION: Colors flash in front of the CO's eyes and things go blurry a tad.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and looks around and then spots some people.::  FCO:  Hey, look over the hill there.  I can see some people.
CMO_Balena says:
::press his hand against the open wound to help slow down the bleeding as he grab her as she falls::
CO_Sacul says:
:: holds back a curse and lets the feeling pass before she opens her eyes ::

ACTION: The CO's eyesight once again returns to normal and she remains conscious.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks, and smiles::  OPS:  If we can see them, they can see us.  Why don't we circle around, come up on them from behind.
CO_Sacul says:
:: speaks through gritted teeth ::  CMO:  Thanks Doc.
CMO_Balena says:
::lays her down and rips his other sleeve off and presses it against the wound::
CMO_Balena says:
CO: Hold that there captain
CMO_Balena says:
CO: Lets not make a habit out of this ma'am
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods at him.::  FCO:  Exactly what I was thinking.
CO_Sacul says:
:: presses the torn sleeve to her shoulder ::  Others:  Your aim sucks worse than your tactics!!!
CMO_Balena says:
CEO: Okay let get you all patch up
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Good, then you can take point.  ::grins::
CMO_Balena says:
::moves over to the fire and grabs the broke spear and uses the other bloody rip sleeve to carry over the hot rock::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and heads off towards the people they spotted.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
::follows closely behind the OPS, staying low, using brush as concealment::
CMO_Balena says:
::hands the stick to the CEO::CEO: Put this in your mouth and bite down on it
CO_Sacul says:
::  leans against a rock and takes a spear and throws it at random ::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Hopes that the grass and brush is helping reduce the sound of his footsteps.  He slowly makes his way around so that they can arrive behind them.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
Thinks to Self:  There's no place like home, there's no place like home
CEO_Rydyll says:
::drops her spears and realizes she's stuck on her butt after all::  CMO: I don't bite on anything.  Just do it.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Arrives closer to where the two people were located behind the hill.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
::can see the enemy we are getting closer::

ACTION: Rocks begin to fly all around the FCO's and OPS' position.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::ducks down::
CMO_Balena says:
CEO: As you wish ::grabs the hot rock with the sleeve and presses against the Rydyll wound::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Throws his arms up to protect his head and ducks down as well.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Well...  I'm fresh out of ideas.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::closes her eyes against the pain and grunts but says nothing::
CO_Sacul says:
:: sits and waits ::
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  We need to find out what they are plotting.
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  The Captain said not to engage, but we are taking fire, we should return the favor.
CMO_Balena says:
::removes the stone and looks over the wounds:: CEO: Okay chief I think your all set down just try not to open the wound
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  What if we pretended we were hit.
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  You thinking of letting yourself get taken prisoner?
FCO_Hawkes says:
::cringes as a rock lands nearby::  OPS:  These rocks get any closer you won't need to pretend.
CEO_Rydyll says:
CMO: To try something like that, Doctor, would be unwise.  I have never been accused of being dumb. ::gets up and walks away::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::pauses for a moment and turns back:: CMO: I think the human expression is, 'thank you'.

ACTION: OPS falls over a body.

CMO_Balena says:
::moves over to the CO:: CO: Let me have a look
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  It may give us some information.  Then again it may not.  It's a ris...  what the?  ::Looks down at what he fell over.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
::jumps up long enough to get a bearing, take aim and release a spear into the crowd::

ACTION: As he looks down he sees his own dead body staring up at him.

CMO_Balena says:
::looks at her wound and it looks like the bleeding is almost stopped:: CO: Looks good
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A spear is lodged is this OPS's throat.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Gasps and crawls backwards before realizing who it was.::
FCO_Hawkes says:
::sees the OPS looking at something, and turns to look as well::  OPS:  Well.  He's not having a good day is he.
CO_Sacul says:
:: shouts again ::  Others:  My Grandma was slow, but she was old!!  :: throws another spear into the forest ::
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  Apparently not.  ::Crawls over to him and begins to check him for anything that could be of value.::  FCO:  Maybe he has something that could be of use.
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  His blood is the same color as our.
CMO_Balena says:
CO: Ma'am permission to check on Mr. Sanford and Hawkes
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  What are you going to check on Doctor?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and stares grimly into his own self's eyes.::  FCO:  I hope this isn't foreshadowing my fate.
CMO_Balena says:
CO: To see if they are alright
CEO_Rydyll says:
::grabs two spears and heads back to the edge of the camp, determined to see if she can spot their opponents::
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Easy now, don't get all freaked out.  Its just a body, doesn't mean a thing.
CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  They will return shortly.  Meanwhile, you can help by throwing a few of these spears.
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  You're not the one who's dead.
CMO_Balena says:
::does hide his disappointment: CO: Aye captain
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Look at him...  That's not you.  You're you.  that's something else.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods slowly and continues to check for anything valuable.::
CMO_Balena says:
::grabs a few spears and hurls them in the direction where the CO has been throwing them::
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  I think its best if we pull back, return to base camp.  We're exposed here.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::squats down, hidden in a scrub bush and searches the landscape carefully::
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  My little sister has better sense than you do!!  :: throws another spear ::
OPS_Sanford says:
FCO:  We should bring him.  Maybe the Doctor can do something.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks at the body::  FCO:  All-right.
CO_Sacul says:
:: ducks behind the rock and waits for more spears or rocks to come flying ::
CMO_Balena says:
Self: May the prophets guide us to safety ::throws another spear
FCO_Hawkes says:
<FCO = OPS>
CEO_Rydyll says:
::listens to the Captain and wonders what would happen on the ship if one truly made her angry::
FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  I'll take the legs.
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and goes over to grab his alter self by the shoulders.::

ACTION: Slowly but surely Hawkes and Sanford succeed in returning to camp.... with the "other" Sanford officer.

CMO_Balena says:
::stops throwing spears as he sees the FCO and OPS coming back into camp::
CO_Sacul says:
:: sees the FCO and OPS return with the body ::  FCO/OPS:  Is he......?
OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods to the Captain.::  CO:  I tripped over him.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::struggles a little, drops the legs of the dead OPS after entering the camp::  Aloud:  Heavy fellow.
CMO_Balena says:
::moves over to the OPS mirror and looks down at him::
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  And then there were 4.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::moves to a defensive position::
CMO_Balena says:
::kneels and touches the cheek of the mirror OPS::
CO_Sacul says:
:: begins to laugh almost manically as loud as she can ::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Goes over to the Captain.::  CO:  Captain, are you alright?
CEO_Rydyll says:
::raises an eyebrow wondering if the Captain has lost her mind::
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Just fine Lt.  Why do you ask?
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Well, I haven't known you for long, but I wouldn't say that this behavior is normal for you.
CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  I'm trying to put myself in her position.  Think how she thinks.  Try to throw her off.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks over to the CO and OPS, then looks back out of the camp::
OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Oh I see.  I apologize.
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  Let see, I have one of your men over here.  Looks like he won't be making that singing competition in June.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A loud scream is heard from the forest... followed by the sound of running feet getting closer.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks in the direction of the sound, raises a spear, ready to throw::
CO_Sacul says:
:: grabs the rope to the side and peeks over the rock to watch ::
CMO_Balena says:
::looks in the direction of the scream and grabs a rock::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::tightens her grip on the spear in her right hand, preparing to throw it at whatever is in the forest::
CMO_Balena says:
::move into behind a dead tree and looks to one side of it::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Stays close to the Captain, not wanting her to get hurt again.::
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Hold....don't fire until I say to.
FCO_Hawkes says:
::hears the CO, but doesn't turn his gaze::
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  What...that's the best you can do.....scream like a 12 year old girl!

ACTION: Sounds of branches breaking.... and running continue to get louder and louder.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::nods out of habit but continues watching the area of the sound::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Takes a defensive stance near the Captain.::
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Aim to wound.

ACTION: Someone appears out of the woods.... running madly at the group.

CMO_Balena says:
Self: May the prophets forgive use for what we have to do
CO_Sacul says:
:: holds tight to the rope...waiting ::
CO_Sacul says:
Self:  Come on....a little further.
CEO_Rydyll says:
::focuses on the runner, trying to identify the person::
CMO_Balena says:
::Tries to get a look at the person running at them but can't get a good view of him or her
CO_Sacul says:
:: pulls the rope and the spears spring up from the ground ::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Looks over at the Doctor.::  CMO:  I think that the Prophets would want us to defend ourselves.
CO_Sacul says:
All:  Fire to disable!
FCO_Hawkes says:
::throws hard::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Throws a rock at the invader.::

ACTION: A male body is impaled at the knees on the CO's spear trap..... the container he is carrying  falls from his hands.........

CEO_Rydyll says:
::throws the spear in her good hand then grabs the one in her left hand and aims again::

ACTION: A huge stinking cloud begins to form around the group....

CO_Sacul says:
:: looks at the container fall :: Self:  What the......
CMO_Balena says:
::moves to the side of the tree and coughs as he moves away from the cloud::
CEO_Rydyll says:
All: Get away from it!  It could be lethal!  ::backs up as quickly as she can::

ACTION: The away team's eyes begin to water.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::covers mouth, backs away::
CO_Sacul says:
:: covers her mouth and nose with her sleeve ::
OPS_Sanford says:
::Looks around at the smoke, wondering what's going on.  He begins to rub his eyes.::
CEO_Rydyll says:
::feels her eyes sting as she moves into the trees::
CMO_Balena says:
::drops the rock and covers his mouth and nose as he tries to move out of te cloud::
CMO_Balena says:
<edit te the>
OPS_Sanford says:
::Tries to find the Captain.::  CO:  Captain, get away from the cloud.  ::Goes down on his hands and knees to evade the smoke.::

ACTION: The other "Balena" lays twitching with spears impaled on the knees... unconscious from pain.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::coughs from the smoke and wipes at her eyes::
CO_Sacul says:
Others:  And then there were 3!!!
