Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: The USS Titan is currently docked at a Bajoran Repair Facility while the crew takes a much-needed shoreleave.

The Captain has chosen to stay onboard and supervise the repairs and re-supply of the ship, while utilizing the holodeck for some diversion.

Due to a malfunction in the transporters making it impossible for any additional crew to beam down to the surface, the XO and FCO are meeting in holodeck 2 to enjoy one of the many programs available.

The CEO is asleep in his Quarters.

The CMO, CTO and OPS were able to beam down prior to the transporter malfunction and are now enjoying themselves on the planet surface.  The CMO is relaxing at a secluded beachfront condo with her family while the CTO along with OPS have found a small weapons shop in a somewhat seedy little town.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Titan Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CTO_Benson says:
@::Looking at some of the weapons displays in the weapons shop::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Steps through some more foliage with his Bat`leth at the ready, looking for more fights::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Stands just inside door of weapons shop watching the CTO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Two very large Klingons jump out of the foliage with their Bat’leth's swinging at the CO.

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: May I take a closer look at that sword, please?

XO_Madson says:
::Opens up a program and motions the FCO in::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<Arms Merchant> CTO: Of course.  ::Moves to the display and opens up the glass door, taking the sword from it's rack and hands it to the CTO::

FCO_Chottu says:
::Follows the XO onto the holodeck::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sees the two Klingons move towards him as he side steps them both, keeping his own Bat`leth up in case of a wild swing from one of them::

Host CTO_Benson says:
@OPS: McDuggle, come have a look at this sword.  ::Takes the sword gently and looks at the shinny blade::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Walks over to the CTO:: CTO: This looks quite impressive ::Admires the sword::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Klingons swing their Bat'leths high into the air, bringing them down towards each side of the CO.

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: I like this sword.  How much?  ::"Eyes" the merchant::

CMO_Madson says:
@Self:  Ahh...I could live here!!  So nice having the husband and kids out on the fishing ship and I have peace and ocean to myself.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Arms Merchant: can you tell us any history about this sword?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<Arms Merchant> CTO: Yes, she's a beauty.  Ancient 18th century Earth, Japanese I believe, very old but in excellent condition.

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: @Arms Merchant: How much?  ::Shifts her weight to her right foot, keeping eye contact with the arms merchant::

XO_Madson says:
::Steps up to the bar:: Bartender: Excuse me.
FCO: This is a remake of a place near my hometown.  I thought it would be nice to bring some of it along with me across the galaxy.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Arms Merchant: and how did you come by an ancient earth weapon?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<Arms Merchant> OPS: How?  Well, I'm a dealer.  I travel the quadrant looking for superior antique weapons to sell.

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Great idea. ::Looks around::  Where were you born then?

Host SM_Darlene says:
@<Arms Merchant> CTO: The price.....the price....::Thinks a moment:: 20 bars of gold pressed latinum.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Arms Merchant: Most of the people that have this kind of weapon on Earth don't give them up easy.

CMO_Madson says:
@::Sits up and puts sunglasses back on::  Self: Cute little girl.  This must be a family beach.  At least they aren't noisy.  Better behaved than mine, especially that oldest one that thinks he's such a hot shot.

Arms Merchant says:
@OPS: I have my sources.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Drops into a crouched position, ducking under the two strikes from the Klingons and places one of his hands on the ground and brings his feet around and sweeps out the legs from under them and springs back to his feet once they have fallen to the ground::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Arms Merchant: 15 sounds better.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: I was born in Massachusetts.

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: Yes, 15 sounds better but 10 is more correct.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: And you?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The Klingons spring back to their feet, angrily hollering something in Klingon and begin to attack the CO again.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Likes hearing the CTO response to the Arms Merchant::

Host SM-Darlene says:
<Bartender> XO: What can I get ya?  ::Glances at the FCO with a smile::

Arms Merchant says:
@CTO: This weapon is an antique, it belonged to To Jo.

CMO_Madson says:
@::Lies back down and breathes the sea air deeply.  Hears the indigenous seagulls cawing.  Starting to drift off.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: An engineer working in the main computer room unknowingly causes a malfunction in the holodeck systems.  All the safety protocols have been disabled and the computer will not respond to any commands.  The holodeck controls are basically out of control.

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: Still it is only worth 10 bars, take it or leave it.  ::Remains firm::

XO_Madson says:
Bartender: I'll take a Grasshopper. ::Looks at the FCO::

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: 15 Lyncis II, the Caitian homeworld.

Arms Merchant says:
@CTO: You drive a hard bargain but you can have it for 10 bars.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Tries to step to the side of the Klingons, hoping that this will only allow one of them with a direct attack against him for the split second that he needs and brings the edge of his Bat`leth towards the back of one of the Klingons::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: One of the Klingons swings his Bat’leth catching the CO across his right arm.  Blood begins to seep from the slash.

Arms Merchant says:
@::Feels cheated it being in perfect shape and all:: 

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: Good.  ::Opens her bag and pulls out 10 bars, placing them on the counter::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Whispers:: CTO: You drive a hard bargain.

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: Can you wrap it up for me, please?  ::Nods and smiles at McDuggle::

Arms Merchant says:
@CTO: Sure, can I interest you in anything else?

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: No, this will do it.  ::Smiles::

XO_Madson says:
FCO: So what made you join Starfleet?

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CTO: Shall we go?

Arms Merchant says:
@OPS: What about you, Sir, can I interest you in anything if not a weapon something else maybe?

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bartender> ::Looks to the FCO and waits for his drink order, frowns as he has allot of customers to serve::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Arms Merchant: Not at this time, maybe at a later date.

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Well I'm addicted to speed and what's faster then a starship, I've always wanted to be a pilot.

CMO_Madson says:
@::Jerks awake and sits up abruptly.  Looks around sputtering: Why that little bugger! And I thought she was such a nice little girl::  Little girl: I think you should go play with YOUR Mommy with a full bucket of water.  ::Gets up and walks to the edge of the water::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Not receiving a response from the FCO the bartender turns and heads over to the bar to order a "Grasshopper" for the XO.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Feels the cut in his arm and ignores it as he has had worse and brings his Bat`leth down towards one of the Klingons, keeping an eye on the other one and watching for his attack::

Host CTO_Benson says:
@::Takes the wrapped sword from the Arms Merchant:: Arms Merchant: Thank you.  ::Turns to leave the shop::  OPS: Shall we head out?  I want to get this back to the ship right away.

Arms Merchant says:
@CTO: Are you a gambler?

FCO_Chottu says:
::Notices the Bartender has already turned around and shrugs::

Host CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops at the door and turns back around:: Arms Merchant: Why do you want to know?  ::Curiously::

Arms Merchant says:
@CTO: Just curious.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bartender> ::Takes the drink and places it on his tray then turns and heads back to the XO's table::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Is becoming very leery of the Arms Merchant::

Bajoran says:
@OPS/CTO: Anything else I can help you with?

Host CTO_Benson says:
@Arms Merchant: If you must know, I am not a gambler, which is why I had the latinum to buy this sword.  ::Holds up the wrapped package and walks out::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Bajoran: Not at this time but thanks for every thing you have done.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Interesting.  At first, I really just joined Starfleet because my parents didn't want me joining.  But, I always had an interest in hand-to-hand combat and I liked tinkering with the weapons as well.  So, I became a tactical officer.
::Picks up the drink and takes a sip:: Self: Still, not quite as good as the real thing.

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Almost all Caitian have a certain love for speed, I guess I picked it up from my mother. ::Smiles::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@::Follows the CTO out of the shop:: CTO: I am not sure that I trust that man very far.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Bartender> ::Walks up to the XO's table and places his drink in front of him.  Turns and heads to another table to take some more orders::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO takes out one of the Klingons however the other one catches the CO from his side, slashing the CO in his thigh.  Blood begins seeping from the wound.

XO_Madson says:
::Finishes his drink:: FCO: You sure you don't want anything?

Host CO_Loran says:
::Feels the slash on his thigh and goes to one knee from the immediate feeling of the cut, then rolls out away from the Klingon and gets to his feet, standing in a defensive posture::

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: Yeah, maybe later.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Loud shouts and screams fill the restaurant where the XO and FCO are sitting.  Two men rush through the restaurant with local police officers in hot pursuit.  One of the assailants’ trips and smashes into the XO's table sending the XO and FCO flying backwards.  The assailant stumbles and then continues running.

XO_Madson says:
;;tries to grab the ankles of the passing men:: FCO: I don't remember this being in the program.

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: My parents left me rather free, I could do what I want, when I .. ::Hits the floor rather hard:: Self: Ouch, where did that come from

Host CTO_Benson says:
@::Stops outside the weapons shop and turns to McDuggle:: OPS: Let's get back to the ship.  I wonder if the transporters have been fixed?

OPS_McDuggle says:
@CTO: Sounds good. ::Taps his COM badge:: *TC*: McDuggle to transporter room, two to beam up.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: A woman comes stumbling up to the XO's position, half naked, badly beaten and crying.  She pleads; “Please, help me!” then reaches out to the XO before collapsing in his arms.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: I certainly don't remember this being in the program.  ::Picks the lady up and lays her behind the bar and moves to a new table and offers the FCO a seat:: FCO: I wonder if someone is tampering with the holodeck systems?

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The fleeing men come running back through the restaurant again, this time the police fire their weapons hitting the XO in the leg.  Blood begins seeping from his wound.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Looks at the XO, rather confused:: XO: What's going on?!

CMO_Madson says:
@Self: Wonder how many fish they've caught so far?  I do love his cooking.  ::Walks out further in the waves and begins to swim lazily.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The remaining Klingon swings his Bat’leth from side to side before bringing it up and down upon the CO catching the CO on his left arm.  Blood begins seeping from his arm.

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: The CTO and OPS are beamed back to the transporter room.

XO_Madson says:
::Stunned:: FCO: I think the safety protocols are definitely off.  ::Jumps off his chair pulling the FCO to the ground and kicks the table over, then pried several legs off:: FCO: Where did those two guys go?  ::Looks over the table carefully::

Host SM_Darlene says:
@ACTION: A flock of sea birds fly over the CMO as she swims and drops a few big "bombs" on her head.

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Materializes on the transporter pad and steps down::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::Materializes in transporter room :: CTO: I will see you later and thanks for joining me

Host CTO_Benson says:
OPS: Okay, thank you for asking me!  ::Turns and walks out of the transporter room headed for her Quarters::

CMO_Madson says:
@Self: What the??  ::Looks up and spies the birds:: Self: Freaking stupid birds!  ::Ducks under the water and swishes the hair around::

FCO_Chottu says:
::Looks at the XO's leg:: XO: Let’s just try to end the program.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::Watches the CTO leave and starts for his Quarters stopping by one of the control panels to see how the ship is doing::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The men take up a position behind the bar, stepping on the woman in the process.  They find weapons under the bar and begin returning fire at the police.

XO_Madson says:
Computer: End Program.  ::Sees the two men at the other side of the bar and tosses the table legs in their direction before noticing they are armed:: Self: Not smart...

Host CO_Loran says:
::Thinks: These two Klingons are really good, maybe a little too good for this particular program.  He winches just a little from the last strike, but, it has brought the Klingon close to him as he spins out from the attack and brings his own Bat`leth into the back of the last Klingon::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Soon the restaurant is filled with weapons fire from the men and the police.  Patrons of the restaurant scramble to get out of the way, toppling over the tables and screaming.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Looks around for an exit::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO takes out the last Klingon, however the bleeding from the three wounds is getting worse.  He is feeling weak from the blood loss.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response from the computer to the XO’s commands.  Weapons fire hits the over turned table where the XO and FCO are taking cover.

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: see something in the holodeck that doesn't seem right :: *: ME*: : are you have a problem with the holodecks

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Main Engineering> *OPS*: Jacobs, here.  The holodecks?  ::Checks the panels for signs of a malfunction::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Kneels down, feeling woozy and rips off some of the Klingon's leather to make bandages for his three wounds, knowing that they will only be good while he is on the holodeck, but they should work for the time being::

OPS_McDuggle says:
*ME*: Yes, I am getting some weird reading form here.

XO_Madson says:
Computer: Display holodeck exit.

Host CTO_Benson says:
*OPS*: Aye, I see it now.  Attempting to correct the problem.  ::Notices the safeties are disabled and the computer is not responding::  *OPS*: Sir, the computer is not responding and the safeties are offline!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: There is no response to the XO's voice commands.

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Enters her Quarters and unwraps the sword admiring it in the light.  Looks around for a good place to hang her new toy::

OPS_McDuggle says:
*ME*: Roger.  Have an engineer meet at the holodecks with an engineering kit.  ::Heads for the holodecks::

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Even better.  Computer isn't responding.  Here,  you grab that side, I'll grab this one...and we can push the table over to that door and at least we can get out of here.  ::Grabs the remaining leg on his side::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Main Engineering-Jacobs> *OPS*: Aye, Sir.  ::Sends an engineer to the holodecks::

FCO_Chottu says:
::Grabs the side of the table:: XO: I'm ready

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Weapons fire continues to blanket the restaurant as the XO and FCO try to make their way to the door.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: : Cmdr we are having some problems with the holodecks could you go to the bridge and monitor

CMO_Madson says:
::Walks out of the water and over to her beach towel and supplies.  Pulls out a frilly, pale yellow sun umbrella and walks back out into the shallow waves. Self: Think I'll take a little stroll and see what there is on the beach.

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Looks up as she hears the COM:: *OPS*: On my way.  ::Places the sword on the table then turns and heads out of her Quarters to the turbolift::

XO_Madson says:
::Starts pushing the table sideways, listening to it creak as it drags across the ground, occasionally grabbing a chair and hoisting it over the table at the direction of the bar::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO is bleeding badly now.  He is very weak.  The bandages are soaked with blood and he is ready to pass out.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::Arrives outside the holodecks and sees the engineer:: Engineer: Let’s get this panel open and see if we can get the doors open and shut down the programs.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Stray weapons fire hits the FCO in the arm, knocking him to the ground.  The chair flung by the XO hits the bar shattering to pieces but doing no damage to the two men behind the bar.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CTO*: Commander, the safeties are off we may have injured so you may want to call the Doc back aboard.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Notices that the bandages aren’t working as well as he thought they would and decides to contact sickbay::  *Sickbay*:  This is Captain Loran, I am going to need someone in Holodeck 1 as it seems I am a bit rusty with physical workouts and have injured myself badly.

CMO_Madson says:
<Douglas>~~~Jonathan, how's the fishing going?  We will be having a nice big fish fry tonight, won't we??~~~

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Enters the turbolift:: TL: Bridge.  *OPS*: Acknowledged.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Grabs his arm in pain::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::Starts working inside the panel with the engineer::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Sickbay Medical Tech> *CO*: Acknowledged, on my way, Sir.  ::Turns and heads out of Sickbay, med kit in hand::

FCO_Chottu says:
XO: I don't think we'll make it to the door.  How about heading for those two behind the bar?

Host CTO_Benson says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge and heads to tactical activating the COM:: *CMO*: Benson to Doctor Madson.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Tries to see if this foliage offers any kind of herbal treatment for his wounds then remembers that the medic might not be able to get through his workout routine::  Computer:  Computer, pause program.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Agreed.  ::Starts pushing the table forward instead of towards the door, picking up another chair and hoisting it at the bar::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The two men behind the bar become desperate and begin shooting at everything and anything that moves.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Pushes the table to the bar with one arm, hoping not to get shot in the back by the police::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer does not respond to the CO's verbal commands.

CMO_Madson says:
~~~Douglas (after passing the message to his Earth-born father): Dad says we've got plenty and are heading inland.~~~

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CO hears a rustling sound in the foliage nearby.

CMO_Madson says:
*CTO*: Yes, what is it?

XO_Madson says:
::Pushing the table closer to the bar::

Host CTO_Benson says:
*CMO*: Sorry to spoil your shoreleave, Doc but we have a malfunction in the holodeck systems and possible injuries to the people who are trapped inside.  We need you back on the ship.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::Changes some burnt relays closes panel:: Computer: Open holodeck one and end program.

FCO_Chottu says:
::Takes a quick look at the bar not too far away now::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The two men behind the bar see the table creeping closer and turn their weapons fire directly at the moving table.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Notices that the program didn't pause and decides that something is wrong and taps his COM badge::  *Bridge*:  This is the Captain, I am going to need a site to site transport immediately from my location in Holodeck 1 to just outside the doors.  ::Hears the rustling in the nearby bush and goes to a crouched position, making himself as small a target as possible, having his Bat`leth up in the ready position::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The computer does not respond to McDuggle’s commands.

XO_Madson says:
FCO: Seems to me that their clips might be running a bit empty.

Host SM_Darlene says:
