<SCO_Daimon> ::Sits on the bridge:: FCO: Decrease speed to half, and move us to 4 mark 38
<FCO_Vince> XO:  They seem to be decreasing speed
<XO_VanSickle> FCO: ETA to the planet?
<SCO_Daimon> <SFCO> SCO: Aye sir ::decreases speed to one half, and moves the shady side of the third moon.
<SCEO_Mason> @::In ME of the Sitting Bull::
<SCO_Daimon> <edit a s and a few @'s>
<FCO_Vince> XO:  We'll be in range within a couple of minutes...and the SB is 5 minutes away
<Zy`tel> #::Slinks through the streets looking for a weapon::
<XO_VanSickle> FCO: Slow to impulse and prepare to enter orbit.
<SCO_Daimon> *SCEO*: Report Mr. Mason
<FCO_Vince> XO:  Aye Commander  ::Reduces speed to impulse::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: We're approaching the system, ma'am.
<CMO_Xye> ::eyeballs his console and types in a few commands:: MO: Veridia... we're going to have plenty of people in here hurt and begging for help. Don't panic. I know you have trouble with pressure.
<Zy`Cil> #:: follows closly behind Zy`Tel.. tripping over a peice of broken stone:: Oooff! ohh.. 
<CO_TPaula> CSO: As soon as we're in range, locate the civilians we're evacuating.
<SCEO_Mason> @*SCO*: All systems are in top shape... we're ready to go sir.
<CMO_Xye> <MO_Veridia> ::breaths calmly:: CMO: I'll try sir.
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Doctor, will you need an emergency triage centre?
<Zy`tel> #::picks up an iron rod and softly grips it in his young hands::
<XO_VanSickle> CO: You think everything will happen just as we did in simulation?
<FCO_Vince> ::prepares to enter orbit::
<CMO_Xye> ::taps commbadge:: *CEO*: No. I have the Holo-Sickbay ready with Doctor Sevik standing by.
<CO_TPaula> XO: I hope not.  Do we have the same problem with transporters?
<SCEO_Mason> @::Opens an access panel and enters a JT::

<FCO_Vince> XO:  Entering standard orbit
<XO_VanSickle> CSO: What's the atmosphere like?
<SCO_Daimon> @ SOPS: Any sign of our contact ship?
<CMO_Xye> *CEO*: The holosickbay is four times my sickbay's size. Sometimes I wonder if that hologram has it better than me.
<CSO_Shiar> :: scans atmosphere::
<Zy`tel> #::Looks over his shoulder at the young female and motions for her to keep up::
<SCO_Daimon> @<SOPS> SCO: Aye sir, the Scorpius just entered orbit around the main planet, shall I make contact with them?
<CEO_AQilla> *CMO*:  Acknowleged.  Cargo bay 4 is available should you need it.

<CMO_Xye> ::scrambles and slaps head:: MO: We need more supplies. I'll be back.
<CMO_Xye> MO: You have sickbay. I'll be back before anything happens.
<XO_VanSickle> CO: I believe we may have the same problems as in the simulation.  Shall I prepare a shuttle task force?
<Zy`tel> #::proud, angry 15 year old; purple fur is dirty and clothing is torn::_r_nZy'Cil: There noise is over there. Perhaps we can link up.

<CMO_Xye> ::rushes out of sickbay with medical bag and heads to the turbolift::
<SCEO_Mason> @::Climbs through the JT for what seems like miles, then opens another access panel::
<CSO_Shiar> XO: breathable, a bit high on oxygen and there's some polaron interference
<XO_VanSickle> FCO: When we're in position and we've made contact with the colonists, prepare to go to the shuttle bay.
<XO_VanSickle> *CMO* Prepare to report to the shuttle bay on my word, doctor.
<SCEO_Mason> @::Climbs out of the JT onto the bridge, directly behind the Captains chair::

<FCO_Vince> XO:  Aye Sir 
<XO_VanSickle> CSO: Send a ship-wide comm to security teams to report to the shuttle bays and stand by for futher orders.
<CMO_Xye> ::taps commbadge:: *XO*: Aye sir. I'm at the cargo bay. I'm just meters away.
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  Intense fighting is heard inside the Gov't building.
<SCO_Daimon> @::Lurches forward as the SCEO comes out of the hatch....:: SCEO: Do you have to enter through there?
<CSO_Shiar> XO: sir.
<FCO_Vince> ::Checks over the helm control before heading for the TL::

<CMO_Xye> <*Veridia*>
<Zy`Cil> #:: blinks and grins.. scooping a few things into a cloth bag on the floor:: ZY`Tel: there are about 50 of us hiding in the Senate. They will be hungry..
<SCO_Daimon> @<SOPS> SCO: Negetive sir, the radiation from the moon must be cloaking our signals
<XO_VanSickle> ::TL stops near SB1:: FCO/CEO: To the shuttles.  FCO: Take the Rio Bravo.  CEO: You have the Mississippi.
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: We need to try to get to the Colony Headquarters building.  I think we'll be safer there.
<Zy`Cil> # Zy`Tel: but what about the other kids?
<FCO_Vince> ::exits TL and heads for the Rio Bravo::
<CEO_AQilla> XO:  Acknowledged.  ::enters the Mississippi and initiates pre-launch sequence::
<XO_VanSickle> ::follows the FCO to the Rio Bravo::
<Zy`tel> #::Bends over and scoops up food and puts it into her bag::
<XO_VanSickle> CMO: Doc!  Follow us to the Rio Bravo.
<CMO_Xye> ::enters shuttlebay with medical bag:: Self: I forgot. Computer: Transport a small anti-matter container to the Rio Grande. Energize.
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: We'll collect as many as we can on the way.
<XO_VanSickle> CMO: Rio Grande?  We're on the Rio Bravo.
<Zy`tel> #::Sounds braver than he is::
<FCO_Vince> ::boards the Rio Bravo and powers it up for launch::
<Zy`Cil> # Zy`Tel: thanks.. ::looks up.. hearing a fighter buzz past and shake the building.. :: More toops.. 
<XO_VanSickle> ::follows and takes tactical::
<SCEO_Mason> @SCO: Sir, all the shuttles are ready, how long until we begin the evac?
<CMO_Xye> ::enters Rio Bravo:: Self: Oops. Computer: Redo transport to Rio Bravo. Energize.
<Zy`tel> #::Nods:: Zy'Cil: Yes, lets go.
<XO_VanSickle> FCO: Launch when ready.
<Glordrail> #::Sends troups to begin knocking down the walls::
<XO_VanSickle> *CEO* Prepare to launch on our mark.
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  We're ready, Sir
<FCO_Vince> Computer:  Lock onto my Bat'Leth and beam to the Rio Bravo.  Energize
<FCO_Vince> XO:  Just in case
<XO_VanSickle> ::smiles at Vince::
<FCO_Vince> ::Bat'leth materializes in Rio Bravo::
<SCO_Daimon> @SCEO: Ah yes, the extraction.....SFCO: Bring us into a orbit around the planet
<FCO_Vince> XO:  We're ready to Launch
<XO_VanSickle> FCO/*CEO*: Launch!
<Zy`Cil> #:: grabs the bag close and rushes to the door.. hearing footsteps over broken rock:: Zy`Tel: is there another way out?
<CEO_AQilla> *XO*:  Launching
<CEO_AQilla> ::launches the shuttle::
<SCO_Daimon> @<SFCO> ::Brings the ship out of the dark side of the moon, and initiates a standard orbit around the planet::
<XO_VanSickle> *All shuttles* Launch!
<Glordrail> ::getting a message that their are ships in orbit, has his ground teams prepare to fire on them::
<FCO_Vince> ::engages impulse engines and RB exits SB::
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Well sir. The antimatter container would be a good mine or a good bomb to transport on their ship. I have a detonater in my medical bag I can slap on it.
<SCO_Daimon> @SCEO: Ok, prepare the shuttles for launch.
<FCO_Vince> ::Raises speed to 1/2 impulse::
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: Hopefully we won't need to use it that way.
<XO_VanSickle> $COMM: CO: Rio Bravo is away.  Coordinates of the fighting?
<CEO_AQilla> $::matches speed with Rio Bravo::
<SCEO_Mason> @SCO: Aye sir....
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Yes. But I always believe the real mission will always be worse than the simulation.
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: Here, the back door.
<Zy`Cil> #:: follows as a distant building falls to the ground.. pushed over by the Elleb troops that just landed::
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  That idea we were about to try before the sim ended sounded pretty good
<CMO_Xye> $ FCO: Not as bumpy as last time okay? ::smerks:: XO: I'll take care of the transporter.
<Zy`tel> #::As they exit they see through the dust and smoke the ten story building that is their goal::
<SCEO_Mason> @::Makes one last check::
<Zy`Cil> # ::holds the fod tighter and hears more destruction behind them.. ::
<Zy`tel> #::Points:: Zy'Cil: There it is... we can make it.
<Zy`Cil> <food>
<SCO_Daimon> @<SCSO> SCO: Sir there are large amounts of Polaran intereference, it is making transporters inoperative, so we should only use shuttles
<SCEO_Mason> @SCO: Shuttles are ready to launch on your mark sir.
<XO_VanSickle> $FCO: Set course to the fighting.  I'll man weapons and try to pick off attackers.
<CO_TPaula> ::sends VanSickle the coordinates::
<CEO_AQilla> $::runs diagnostics on transporter system::
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: Lock transporters onto as many Doman as you can.
<Glordrail> #::Seeing a group of the enemy fires on them, getting all but one::
<Zy`tel> #::Looking nervously about leds the way for the 12 block trek::
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  Aye.  Brace for atmospheric reentry
<SCO_Daimon> @*Ship wide* This the Capatain speaking, all rescue teams head for the shuttles, I want this to be a smooth but quick action.
<Zy`Cil> # Zy`Tel: right.. ::gulps:: right behind you.. ::hears the screams of Doman freshly killed by the invading troops..::
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  Sir, I do have another idea
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: Stay close to the buildings.
<Glordrail> #::Grins and heads for the next group.  Has one team prepare some explosives for the gov't building::
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: Let's hear it, commander.
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: I'm going to get as many as possible. Maybe this time my plan can work.
<SCO_Daimon> @SCEO: Aye, launch when ready.
<FCO_Vince> ::approaches atmosphere at an angle::
<Zy`Cil> # ::scoops in close to a wall and spots a group of Elleb firing at a building near by::
<Zy`Cil> <scoots>
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  Can we use transporter enhancers to boost the signal.  It would mean that someone would have to go to the surface.
<Zy`tel> #::Fur on the back of his neck stands rigid; vestule tail twitches::
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Is there any sort of radiation that will interfere with our transport?
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  Shuttles entering the atmospher discover the poloran are disrupting there navigational computers.
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: Can you beam an enhancer to the surface?
<SCEO_Mason> @SCO: Aye sir.  ::Nods to SOPS to give launching instructions, then opens shuttlebay doors::
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  Yes I could, but someone would need to operate it down there.
<Zy`tel> #::Smothers a cough and picks up the pace::
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  Nav Computers are experiencing interference...attempting to compensate
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: Polaron radiation, doc.  However, my plan is to get close enough so that the radiation wouldn't affect.
<Glordrail> #::Begins to work his way toward the gov't building::
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: Include a comm badge as well, then.
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Okay.
<SCO_Daimon> <SXO> ::starts directing crews to their shuttles:: Shuttlebay: Move! Move!
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  That makes sense
<XO_VanSickle> $FCO: How close can you get us?
<CO_TPaula> CSO: How are the shuttles doing?
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: Eight more blocks to go.
<Zy`Cil> #:: follows Zy`Tel closely.. still hears screams in the distance::
<FCO_Vince> ::flies though the lower atmosphere::
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  Yes, Sir.  I could try to program the enhancer remotely. It would be more difficult though.
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: Go to it.
<Zy`tel> #::Sees most the buildings surrounding the Headquarters have been leveled.::
<CSO_Shiar> CO: there ok sir
<Zy`Cil> # ::drops a few loafs of bread.. holding the bag too tight in her hands::
<SCEO_Mason> @::Watches as the shuttles begin launching from the Sitting Bull's shuttlebay::
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  Fire aims up at the shuttles.  One is hit directly on.  The Rio Bravo looses power.
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::begins to program the enhancers to boost the signal.
<XO_VanSickle> $::prepares weapons and shields::
<FCO_Vince> $:&##&$@*@
<Zy`Cil> # ::watches a fire ball ignite in the sky::
<XO_VanSickle> $FCO: Problem?
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  We've lost power!
<CMO_Xye> $ :XO: Sir. I might be considering being a tactical officer. I'm getting all these tactical ideas. Want to hear my newest one?
<SCO_Daimon> &<SCrewman> ::Flies down the lower astmophere, only to lose all navigational control....flies straight into the ground::
<CEO_AQilla> $Computer:  Program enhancers to boost the signal to counteract polaron radiation.  ::attaches a com badge to the enhancer.
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: Save it!  FCO: Cause?
<Zy`tel> #::Sees the bright glow in the sky and wonders::
<SCEO_Mason> @<SCTO> SCO: Sir, someone is firing on the shuttles, some of the Scorpius' shuttles have sustained damage.
<CEO_AQilla> ::Scans the planet for refugees::
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  Direct Hit from the surface.  I'm attempting to reroute auilliary power
<CSO_Shiar> CO: the Rio Bravo was hit
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  Two shuttles unable to compensate for their navigational computers crash into the city, starting a fire.
<XO_VanSickle> $::tries to return fire::
<FCO_Vince> ::begins frantically tinkering with the console::
<Zy`tel> #Zy'Cil: Watch your step here. ::climbs over some rubble::
<Zy`Cil> #::glances around the street.. it got quiet.. the attackers noticed the fire too:: Zy`Tel: hurry! they are not looking for us! ::starts running::
<SCO_Daimon> @SCTO: Scan for the location of the weapons fire, and prepare to lock on and counter fire
<CSO_Shiar> CO: do you want me to give covering fire?
<CEO_AQilla> $Computer:  Raise shields::
<SCEO_Mason> @::Brings sensor readins up on his panel::
<XO_VanSickle> $::locks onto the Elleb anti-aircraft weapons::
<CO_TPaula> COM: XO: How are you doing down there?
<CMO_Xye> $ ::frowns:: Self: Yep. Gets worse than the simulation. FCO, XO: Anyone hurt?
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CO: We're taking fire!
<Zy`tel> #::Races as best he can after Zy'Cil::
<CEO_AQilla> $beams enhancers down to surround Govt building::
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: I'm fine.  Prepare those anti-matter bombs!
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  Weapons fire lances across the skies.
<SCEO_Mason> @<SCTO> SCO: Aye sir, targeting now....  ::Attempts to attain a target::
<CO_TPaula> CSO: Go ahead.
<Zy`Cil> #:: trips and all the food goes everywhere.. hurries to pick it up.. sitting in the open between buildings::
<FCO_Vince> $CMO:  We'll be dead If we don't get propulsion before we nosedive!
<CSO_Shiar> CO: with plesure sir
<Zy`tel> #::Pulls Zy'Cil into a doorway and hids::
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  I'm gonna try something
<CEO_AQilla> $::takes evasive action::  COM:XO:  Sir, do you want to try to beam over here?
<CSO_Shiar> :: aims at ground deffences and fires all weapons at them::
<FCO_Vince> ::begins using the thrusters, which still have power::
<Zy`Cil> # Zy`Tel: the food! I lost it! 
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Umm... sir. We have no power. Maybe we can use the anti-matter to supply more power to the ship.
<Glordrail> #::Sees a young teenager before him::  Zy'Cil:  One less to become an adult.  ::Lifts weapon to fire::
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: I don't want to chance it.  Do you have tractor power?
<Zy`tel> #::Looks out at the food:: Zy'cil: Leave it.
<Zy`tel> #::Throws rod at the Elleb::
<SCO_Daimon> @SCTO: Once target is located fire a low radius high yield torpedo on the area, I don't want to take out any civilians.....

<Zy`Cil> # ::slums a bit and then looks paniced::
<Glordrail> #::Jumps.  Is caught slightly off guard and his fire goes up the building wall, scoring it::
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  The children get away.
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  I goota hand it to the Runabout designers
<CMO_Xye> $ FCO: Any chance the CEO can transport us off and the Scorpius can auto-navigate another shuttle for us to transport on?
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: Get to the engine compartment and prepare to add the antimater.
<CSO_Shiar> :: fires again::
<CMO_Xye> $ XO: Aye sir.
<FCO_Vince> $XO:  I'm actually able to glide us in, for now
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO: She's tractoring us.
<CEO_AQilla> $COM:XO:  I've locked on with a tractor beam.  Preparing to pull you away
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  The Rio Bravo heads for a landing amongst one of the ruins of a building.
<Zy`tel> #Zy'cil: Quickly, this way. ::Leds her to back of building.::
<XO_VanSickle> $COM: CEO: Negative.  Set us down!
<CMO_Xye> $ ::rushes to engine compartment and adds the antimatter::

<Zy`tel> #Zy'cil: Quick while they're shooting at that lets get to the headdquarters.
<XO_VanSickle> $CMO/FCO: Move out.  ::Powers up Type III phaser rifle::
<SCEO_Mason> @ <SCTO> SCO: Sir, I am having trouble getting a lock... too many friendlys in the area...  I can lay down some cover fire though, maybe get them to get their heads down.
<CMO_Xye> $ ::eyes widen and grabs a phaser::
<CEO_AQilla> $XO:  Sir, we've got to find cover and fast!
<Zy`tel> #::Pulls the girl along with him::
<FCO_Vince> ::Grabs Phaser and Bat'Leth and moves out::

<Zy`tel> #::Gets to the doors only to find them locked::
<XO_VanSickle> #::approaches Zy'tel and Zy'Cil::
<Zy`tel> #::Rattles the doors and kicks them::
<CEO_AQilla> #XO:  Sir, I've appraised the Scorpius of the situation.  I'm going to try to take as many of the colonists as I can with me on the shuttle::
<Zy`Cil> #:: races up behind Zy`Tel and bangs on the door::
<Zy`tel> #Building: Let us in!!!
<SCEO_Mason> @SCO:  It seems they are caught in a crossfire...  unable to land sir.
<XO_VanSickle> #CEO: Acknowleged.
<FCO_Vince> @#*CO*:  We've set her down, and we're okay so far.  I'm not sure whether the shuttle can take off again yet, but we're making our way to the civs

<Zy`Cil> # ::turns to look at the alien::
<XO_VanSickle> #::motions the two aside::
<Zy`tel> #::Turns at the sound of an odd sound; shocked at the appearance of such a strange looking creature::
<CMO_Xye> # XO: Sir. I seriously don't believe we should be here on the surface. Shouldn't we get on the shuttle with AQilla?
<SCO_Daimon> @SCEO: Well, they need to land....and move out....even if its a few k's from the target area.
<FCO_Vince> @::catches up to the XO with two Domans::

<SCO_Daimon> @SCTO: Good, I want you to direct them into strategically spaced positons.
<Zy`Cil> #:;glanxces around at the odd beings::
<Zy`Cil> <glances>
<CMO_Xye> # ::wonders why they are calling an alien race demons:: XO: Sir. I  know I should pay more attention to mission reports. The Dorans are obviously a pre-warp civilization. Do you think it is wise to make them aware of the Federation?
<Glordrail> #::Has his team plant the bombs around the gov't building, then slides back into the ruins, waiting for the others to clear::
<CEO_AQilla> #XO:  Yes, Sir.  ::turns to Zy'Cil:: Zy'Cil:  Do  you know of any other survivors in this area?
<XO_VanSickle> #CMO: From what I understand from Capt. Mitchel of Kootenai Station, their technology is warp-capable
<Zy`tel> #Zy'cil: they have better weapons then we or the Elleb.. perhaps they can help.
<SCEO_Mason> @<SCTO> SCO: Aye sir... they are taking heavy fire, but are progressing.

<Zy`tel> #::Stares at CEO wondering what is being said::
<CSO_Shiar> CO: i'm picking up a massive retreat around the government building
<Zy`tel> #Zy'cil: Yes, they do.
<CMO_Xye> # XO: Have they used it yet? They're calling us demons like they are from some iron age.
<SCO_Daimon> @SCTO: If you can take out any of the ground troops that are fighting them, that coordinate with them, and do so.
<XO_VanSickle> #Senior citizens: You must exit the building.  We are from the Federation and are here to help.
<CEO_AQilla> #XO:  Sir, it appears the universal translaters are not functioning.  Communication is going to be a real problem.
<CO_TPaula> CSO: Maybe they've set an explosive there.
<CO_TPaula> CSO: Do you detect anything that might explain it?
<Karriaunna> ACTION:  The elderly look up in suprise, then saying their prayer of thanks to Demnial, follow him.
<SCEO_Mason> @<SCTO> SCO: Sir , I am concentrating cover fire in that area... it seems to be working.
<CSO_Shiar> CO: i would guess at a bomb
<FCO_Vince> @XO:  I agree.  They're not responding like they understand us
<XO_VanSickle> #Seniors: That way.  Go that way.  ::points to the exit::
<CO_TPaula> CSO: That's what I guessed.  Warn the AT, and try to verify it.
<CEO_AQilla> #::begins to make her way to the shuttle making sure that Zy'Cil and Zy'tel are following her::
<XO_VanSickle> #FCO: Take those seniors to the shuttle.
<FCO_Vince> @::Helps guide the Seniors toward a shuttle::
<Zy`Cil> #::follows the CEO and looks around nervously at the building::
<Zy`tel> #::Slaps side of head and dust falls from the furry ears::
<CSO_Shiar> COMM: XO: i think that a bomb has been placed near the Government building
<XO_VanSickle> #COMM: CSO: What?
<SCO_Daimon> @COMM: Scorpius: This is Commander Jack Daimon, it seems that you have gained entrance to the civilians. Take them out as quickly as possible and we will provide ground cover.
<Zy`tel> #Zy'cil: Too much dust... maybe now we can understand.
<CEO_AQilla> #::reaches the shuttle & motions for Zy'Cil and Zy'tel to enter::
<CSO_Shiar> COMM: XO: there's a bomb by the government building
<Glordrail> #::getting a message that the area is almost cleared of his people, begins the count down in his head::
<XO_VanSickle> #CMO: We have to get to the government building.
<Zy`Cil> #::bliks looking back at Zy`Tel and pauses to give her body a shake.. turning 3 shades of purple in the process::

<FCO_Vince> #*XO*: Vince to VanSickle... I've gotten the Seniors in the shuttle, and other approaching.  Should I keep loading the shuttle for now?
<FCO_Vince> <others>
<Zy`tel> #::Smiles at Zy'cil::
<XO_VanSickle> #*FCO* Affirmative.  See if Smith can help you fix the RB.
<CEO_AQilla> #Zy'tel:  That's the plan.  We have two starships here.
