STSF_KBear -> <pass>>

STSF_BluRox -> try to shut down some of Morus's experiments.

STSF_BluRox -> The Republic has sent probes towards the void area, to see if it gave some clues as to where the others might be.

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i was dropped into a room of Hirogen last week, right? >.> ))

STSF_BluRox -> <CORRECT.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::In engineering, going over the results of the diagnostics, trying to work on ways to keep primary and secondary systems running while the search for the missing crewmembers continues::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::has just been dropped into a room of Hirogen by one of the creepily silent Oest::

Fiona Weber -> <<I was curled up in a little ball cursing the name of BluRox last week, right? :-D >>

STSF_BluRox -> <also Bardolph, your transdermal communicator, will let you speak with them>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::is mostly cursing his driver for being absent at an inopportune moment::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((oh, cool :P ))

STSF_KBear -> Heather, Auymu anything on the probes ?

STSF_BluRox -> <brb, I need to go upstairs to get a pair of my special dice>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::looks around at the Hirogen, not placing the species but getting the immediate impression they aren't a huggy bunch::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::having filled Weber in with what she knows, now she's trying to figure out where to go next::

STSF_KBear -> <<UT OH>>

Fiona Weber -> @ ::generally wishing she were dead, curled up on her side, and stuck with a cloned child::

Heather Jamieson -> "Nothing yet, sorry."

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::continues a course behind the planet:: Err, still not yet

Jameson Bardolph -> ::quickly angles around to get his back to the wall as he hears the door slide shut behind him::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: These power output numbers look like they should normally...but this isn't a normal situation...we can't keep losing secondary power conduits like this when we aren't near a starbase

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> anyone ever tell ya you talk to much?

Jameson Bardolph -> to Hirogen> Hey, fellas...::eyes shooting between them::

August Jax Robinson -> <<Someone find my HUddy so i can drive him crazier>>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::keeping his weight lightly balanced in an unthreatening but ready manner, trying to work out exactly why he was brought here::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Fine...I'll keep quiet and we can end up dead in space, would you prefer that?

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> Maybe

LtCdrJohnson -> ::shakes his head::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::they have a whole collection of other species...but why put two zoo exhibits together...::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Do me a favor and bring up the telemetry from that probe we rigged to carry and recieve signals...I want to see what it's up to

Jameson Bardolph -> ::genetic cross breeding experiments...:: ::pulls a slight face, eyeing one of his new companions:: ::or perhaps their equivalent of a dogfighting ring::

Capt Rian Kwai -> I have the impression we're in the middle of unknown space. Even if we get off this crazy ship, we're not going to be going home anytime soon. ::frowning, starting her pacing again::

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> ::hits a few buttons:: on your console ::Grumbles::

STSF_BluRox -> <I think 'He' needed a night off!>

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Thank you

Fiona Weber -> They probably went to Risa.

August Jax Robinson -> <<Sissy>>

Fiona Weber -> Or some equally awful planet.

STSF_BluRox -> <oh noes...picture is worth a thousand words>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <<Lol>>

LtCdrJohnson -> ::takes a look at the telemetry::

August Jax Robinson -> Gunner> ::Scoots closer to Weber::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::rubs his palms on his pants absently, trying to determine how the Hirogen are reacting, looking for signs of hostility from the unfamiliar aliens::

Heather Jamieson -> :: possible detection, Heather sits up and widens the scans ::

Jameson Bardolph -> Pretty whack place, huh? ::with a somewhat forced attempt at charm, not really figuring it'll do any good, angling up against the place where the door was::

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> ::one of them stomps over to Bardolph:: How did you get here!? You...are not the prey.

Fiona Weber -> ::ignores, figuring that since it's not real for one thing, and also that since they'll be leaving it behind, she doesn't have to pretend to coddle this... clone::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::and tries to back up, startled, as he is approached and whacks his head back against the wall:: Er...no. Not prey. Nope, definitely not. Just...passing through, like. ::winning smile::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onyx> :: in cargo bay with some others appropriating several small tender ships::

Jameson Bardolph -> I was...brought here.

LtCdrJohnson -> +Bridge+ Johnson to the bridge, I'm looking at the data from the modified probe we sent out...the one rigged to carry and recieve signals and there is...nothing...nothing that indicates our people are anywhere within range. Anything on your end?

Jameson Bardolph -> Little while ago. Don't really know why.

STSF_KBear -> ::sighs and continues to look at her console:: Come on guys let us know where you are.

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> Nobody just 'passes through'. How did you get past the jailors?

August Jax Robinson -> ::leaves Will sleeping and sneaks out::

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> If you can get in, we can get out, and then.....we can begin the hunt.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Who's they? Our ship? ::shrugs a little:: Maybe. There comes a point where we can't expect them to come and rescue us.

Heather Jamieson -> :: after a few moments of looking.. nothing ::

STSF_KBear -> +Johnson+ We are currently checking the readings but nothing so far.

Jameson Bardolph -> Uh...didn't you see the...uh...the guy, brought me in. :;jerks thumb over his shoulder:: I don't know. He's been dragging me around on sightseeing tours...

Fiona Weber -> If we didn't have the child I wouldn't expect them to come at all, frankly, but the Robinson female is fairly... loud. Especially since she's pregnant again...

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> ::advances on Bardolph, coming threateningly close:: I see a closed door. We've learned to stay away from it when it opens...they....the bands....

August Jax Robinson -> <<HEY!>>

STSF_BluRox -> <ROFL!>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((ROFL))

STSF_KBear -> <<LOL>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::straightens up very big against the door, angling himself very carefully for a kick on his best guess as to a vulnerable spot, really hoping he doesn't have to try:: Yeah...me too...they're a hell of a thing, those bracelets...

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> I'm tired of waiting for probes. That wormhole is getting more and more disstabilized. If we don't find what we came for here soon, any opening it makes now, could be the last it does make here. I for one, dont' intend to be trapped wherever the hell we are for etermity.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::looks over to faux-Gunner:: Hopefully they'll come and reclaim that soon. ::sigh:: Since they don't really need to test for maternal instincts anymore.

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> So....why are you here? Why would they bring you to us?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::raises an eyebrow::

Jameson Bardolph -> But one of the guys, the Oest, they brought me through the door...I guess to see what we'd do.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: You ever read Hanzel & Gretel?

Jameson Bardolph -> ::slow beat, glances at the Hirogen with a raised eyebrow:: So...what are you going to do...

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu bring up the latest data from the probes.

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> I had the ice cream, it was OK

Capt Rian Kwai -> @You're not so big on kids, are you? ::raises a brow, even Kwai was a bit surpised by Weber's attitude::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::calls up the dta:: FOrwarding to your console, now.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Never mind...I have an idea

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jax+ Johnson to Jax

STSF_KBear -> Heather anything on your end?

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Morus> ::still argueing with Meru about interfering with his experiments. His manuscript will likely be delayed if he did not finalize his experiment on the female shortly.

STSF_BluRox -> And he's quite angry about that.....

LtCdrJohnson -> ::grabs a few padds and starts heading out of engineering::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Hold down the fort...I'll be back

Fiona Weber -> @ I don't care for them, and I care for them even less when they're on military vessels, Captain. ::firmly::

August Jax Robinson -> +Dave+ Jax here... did we find them?!

STSF_BluRox -> # Hirogen> Will it come back for you soon? Or have you been....left here?

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jax+ No...not yet...but I have an idea...a way we might just be able to get a signal through to them...however it requires a skilled hand, care to meet me in stellar cartetography

Fiona Weber -> @ It leads to problems like this. We shouldn't have ever been placed in a situation where we had to care for that... child. If the Robinson's child hadn't been aboard in the first place, we'd never have had to handle the situation.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::looking at some of the data collected by the probe as he heads into a TL::

Jameson Bardolph -> I...really have no idea, frankly.

LtCdrJohnson -> Stellar Sciences

Jameson Bardolph -> Trust me, I don't know any more than you do.

August Jax Robinson -> +Dave+ on my way

LtCdrJohnson -> +Bridge+ Johnson to the bridge, can you do me a favor and send me some of the latest probe telemetry to stellar sciences...I thought I noticed something that we might just be able to use to our advantage

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Just head for the void. and work on the probe data as we recieve it.

STSF_BluRox -> Funnel it to Joy...she can process it faster than most of us anyway

STSF_KBear -> Aye Sir. Ayumu set course for the viod.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Swtting course for the void. ::does so::

August Jax Robinson -> <<::Hisses at Weber::>>

Ayumu Kasuga -> Setting*

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jamison+ Johnson to Jamison...think I could borrow you for a few minutes in stellar sciences...I have an idea

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Meru> continues arguing with Morus, and stalks to Morus's lab, with Morus hot on his tail. He goes and picks up the Gunner child, and stalks back to the enclosure.

STSF_KBear -> +Johnson+ We are heading for the void, you may want to stay in engineering. I for one am not sure what effect the void will have on the ship.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Morus> ::demanding that he stop immediately::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::edges sideways trying to get himself a bit more space::

LtCdrJohnson -> +KBear+ Yes Ma'am...I'll see what I can do from there about this...but I have an idea

August Jax Robinson -> <<real Gunner?>>

Fiona Weber -> <<Ooh, are they going to feed it to the 'Gator?>>

Fiona Weber -> <<Wait, I'm a night early.>>

LtCdrJohnson -> Hold...Engineering

Ayumu Kasuga -> <<kehehe>

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Meru> ::opens door to the Rep captives room, and deposits it in with Fiona::

Fiona Weber -> @ Besides, children of all kinds are... nasty little things. I can't abide them in any age...

August Jax Robinson -> @ Fake Gunner> ::Looks at real Gunner::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @While I agree, having children on a miltary vessel is difficult, I also see the other side of it. I don't disagree with your point any more than I agree with the counter argument. I grew up on a ship, just not a miltary one. My annoyance is when the duties of the parent interfer with the duties of their job or.....:;voice trails offf as Meru dropss off another kiddo::

Fiona Weber -> @ My God. I don't deserve this. I don't.

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jax+ Johnson to Jax, Commander Kawalas wants me back in Engineering, I'm going to set up an active comm link with you in stellar cartetorgaphy...and send you what I have

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest meru> ::slams hand on door console closing the door and turning to mentally argue more iwth Morus

Jameson Bardolph -> From what I hear one of them was trying to communicate with another of my crew. Maybe this one's got our best interests in mind too. Though I'm damned if I know that for sure.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::has literally paled, slightly::

STSF_BluRox -> <ah, facebook mobile uploads....beware the piggy>

August Jax Robinson -> @ Real Gunner> ::moves over to the Fake::

LtCdrJohnson -> <<OK this is getting too strange...a real gunner and a fake gunner...and neither one of them has shot the other yet? >>

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Something's going on. ::can tell by the body posture of the Oest that something isn't right::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits the TL and heads into engineering::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Alright...we have to baten down the hatches, reinforce structural integrity..and the shield grid. We're heading for the void...and I have absolutely no idea what the hell it will do to us and neither does the bridge

STSF_KBear -> +Johnson+ Mr Johnson what is this idea you have?

August Jax Robinson -> ::heads to the Bridge::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::comes back to the doorway, and motions for Bardolph to come, and to the nearest Hirogen that had been talking to Bardolph::

Heather Jamieson -> :: watching the realtime probe data on her console ::

Fiona Weber -> @ You think. ::glaring outright at both Gunners now:: How are we going to tell them apart whenever we get off this nightmare boat? ::terrible feeling::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::motions for them to follow, but makes sure to show them both his bracelet

LtCdrJohnson -> +KBear+ There is a small steller nursery on the telemetry...I'm not sure of its location relative to where we're headed, but if we launch a series of torpedos...and detonate them at specific intervals...using them as subspace charges, then the resonance

LtCdrJohnson -> could just create a signal

Jameson Bardolph -> ::backpedals slightly as the door opens behind him; glances at Hirogen:: See...::gestures at Onyx, eyeing the bracelet::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner> ::Takes the other::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @I'm sure medically there's away. Otherwise, you could mark them somehow...like with one of those colorful roots.

LtCdrJohnson -> The signal would bounce off of the nursery and amplify...thus, it could be heard from a further distance

Jameson Bardolph -> ::takes a few steps in Onyx's direction::

Fiona Weber -> @ ... we're not taking the clone.

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> ::listening:: What the blazes?! he wants to make a big 'boom' to alert everyone and anyone that we're coming? Is he out of his mind?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @It's a living creature. It goes with us.

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner2> ::Giggles plays back::

STSF_KBear -> +Johnson+ Mr Johnson The blasts would announce our arrival. Im sorry that WILL NOT Do.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::terrible feeling, realized:: So are the Oest, and they made it. If an Oest is responsible, it's staying here.

August Jax Robinson -> *Tackles

STSF_KBear -> ::nods to Blu:: Aye sir I think he is

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::raises brow::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Well why didnt' we think of that before. Just send out a signal on all frequencies and languages that 'HEY, here we are, capture the rest of us>

August Jax Robinson -> ::Steps onto the Bridge, looking a little more together then she has in a few days::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @It's a living creature that acts like us, eats like us, breathes like us and for all intense purposes thinks like us. It's our responsiblity now. Besides, it seems to like you.

STSF_BluRox -> ::facepalm:: I've got to think about retiring one of these days.....

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Contrary to your avoidance of it, of course.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::gives Kwai the most withering look of all time::

LtCdrJohnson -> +KBear+ Alright, well figured I'd ask...I'm running out of creative ideas to communicate with our people. I'm battening down the hatches here to prepare for our trip through the void

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Let's get everyone up and ready. Our window might be opening soon.

August Jax Robinson -> @ Both Gunner's> ::Move over to Weber, sitting next to her::

Jameson Bardolph -> to Onyx> So...::spreads hands:: What now?

STSF_KBear -> +Johnson+ Be ready for anything.

LtCdrJohnson -> +I can't say for sure...but when we go in there...we might be bounced around

Fiona Weber -> @ But it's just a copy. A Xerox. ::very nearly whining:: Why do we need two? The Robinsons only could possibly want one of their son.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::sees Hirogen advancing on him and starts towards the bracelet, shaking head in a distinct 'NO'

Jameson Bardolph -> <m> Easy...easy...you ###### him off, he might hit both of us...

Capt Rian Kwai -> @With their track record, they might need a spare.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: I need more power for structural integrity, take the replicators, sonic showers and anything else we don't need to hold us in one piece offline

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::motions for them to move up the hall, then stops them, pointing towards a window, showing them several of the small tender ships.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::sends duplicate glares to the duplicate pair:: Kwai, you're the one who wants them, you can come retrieve them. I'm officially off the clock here and it's only when I'm wearing my doctor hat that I have to... tolerate these things.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: We need to boost the sensor output and the range of the deflector so we can detect any bumps...and we need to shield the core...

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> Woah there... I can't do it all

LtCdrJohnson -> ::runs over to a console and begins reinfoincing the shields::

Jameson Bardolph -> ::follows and looks out the window at the ships:: Whoa...hey now, look at those pretty things...::glances at Onyx and gestures at himself:: I don't suppose those are for us?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Since when is a Starfleet officer ever off the clock?

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::then moves again, heading towards another set of doors and opens it to a compound of Klingons, and gives Bardolph a quick nudge to go inside::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((i've been @ this whole time :P ))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((Fail))

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::Climbs on Weber's lap::

Fiona Weber -> @ When there's something slithering in her abdomen, Captain.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BoBo:: I'm taking care of the shields..you reinforce strutural integrity...we have to do this...now before we enter that damned void

STSF_BluRox -> <Oooo, good idea..I like the slither idea!>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <lol, you could utilise the standard Rrpublic symbol !@#$%^&*()That's harder to forget! >

Fiona Weber -> @ ::gives Gunner a death-glare:: Off. I don't need one slithering outside of me, too.

STSF_BluRox -> <that's for landing parties silly!>

August Jax Robinson -> <<yeah!>>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <aww.. fail>>

Ayumu Kasuga -> <I thought it wasa general AT symbol>

LtCdrJohnson -> ::begins taking non-essential systems offline one by one and reroutes the power to structural integrity and the shield grid::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::tries to help Weber smile::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::shows the Hirogen to another room with some more delta quadrant species::

August Jax Robinson -> ::takes a seat at the back engineering console::

STSF_KBear -> Distance to Void Ayumu?

Ayumu Kasuga -> 1.9 Light Years

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> ::rushes up and grabs Bardolph, putting him in a submission hold::

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> ::pokes console, doesn't get why he has to work::

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> Federation, is this some kind of trap?

Jameson Bardolph -> @::yelps:: Holy mother of--::crashes to the floor heavily, struggling violently::

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu Slow to impulse when you get near the entrance.

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> Speak up pe'Taq

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye sir.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Trap? What kind of trap could I set in a place like this?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Oh suck it up. If I can survive becoming a mutant spider/wasp thing, you can deal with this. We're gonna get out of here and we're gonna fix this. ::propbably the rudest way of telling an officer to get in line, but at this point, her patients is gone and she wants out of here, badly enough to show a little rudeness::

Jameson Bardolph -> @I'm a prisoner...and frankly one who's tired enough of everything that you should be careful who you're calling a p'tak! ::snaps back, struggling::

STSF_BluRox -> $ Hirogen> ::seems to have gotten the idea that they are going to be making an escape attempt to those tender ships, and informs the others that they should be ready if teh situation presents itself.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::has dealt with some klingons in his time and knows they can (sometimes) respect the direct approach::

Fiona Weber -> @ I don't doubt that we can get out of here, Captain, but being the humanitarians onboard this ship and trying to save all of the other specimens, while a noble sentiment, is a poor one. We can't save everyone.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Let me go...there are ships outside, for the love of Pete; we're doing no good fighting each other.

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> ::balls up his fist, and bops Bardolph in the nose:: Watch your tongue welp. How did you get them to bring you in here?

Jameson Bardolph -> @::head snaps back sharply; groans with the impact:: I haven't done a single thing that has affected their behavior since I got here. You want to know why I'm here, you ask the guy outside, cos he's the only one who knows for sure...

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> is this another of their experiments? I'm tired of watching our females try to deliver some abomination they've spawned, and should have never lived. for those that lasted more than a few minutes that is....nothing....truely viable.....

Fiona Weber -> @ Our focus should be on getting ourselves out of here by any means necessary. ::quietly, but fairly strongly, and with an extremely sharp undertone::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Look, I don't know what they're up to...::trying to get a knee up to push him off, gauging the hold he's in, the pain in his nose intense and making his voice rough::...I just know that there's a chance the one outside wants to help us.

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> At least those, that they let try to deliver. Too many, were taken and.....let us say, they did not die honorably, and suffer not being able to enter Stovokor...

Jameson Bardolph -> @I want out too.

STSF_BluRox -> # Klingon> ::gets up:: Fine...but if you have a ship out of here, we want on. And...soem payback on the way out...

Capt Rian Kwai -> @We might not be able to save everyone, but we can at least open the cages while we go and let them try to help themselves. Wouldn't you hope that one of them would take mercy on your if our positions were reversed?

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::comes for Bardolph, and then goes to get the Hirogen.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Ok...the core is shielded...shield strength up another 39%...what about structural integrity?

Jameson Bardolph -> @::sighs:: I don't know about the payback but we'll see what we can do. First thing's first -- we need to get out of-- ::sees Onyx come in and finishes lamely::...here. That was easy.

Ayumu Kasuga -> We should arrive within a half hour.

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::rests head on Weber's lap::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Action> Oest Morus storms off towards the leadership council to file a complaint agains Meru.

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner2> ::Plays with the blanket::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::gives Onyx a sideways look and almost grins:: You raising an army, buck?

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Meru> ::enters hallway and find Onxy:: {{it must be now}}

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> ::presses a control that snaps open the doors of the Hirogen, Federation, Klingon and a few other of the Delta Quadrant species.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Onxy> :motions for Bardolph to get his group and move them towards the tenders

Jameson Bardolph -> @::seeing Meru approaching as well, raises his eyebrows, but judges by the lack of bracelet-pain that he's in on...this, whatever it is::

Fiona Weber -> @ Lower species aren't capable of such altruism, Captain. ::sharply:: I don't expect that we would receive such treatment, and we have an obligation to report back on what is occurring here.

Heather Jamieson -> :: getting ansy as the void gets closer ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::then sees Onyx's geture and bolts for the Federation door::

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> The others head to get their respective groups as well and run for the ships

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::hearing the door snap open:: Come on, looks like we're out of here. Quickly! ::shouts to the others::

STSF_BluRox -> Blu> Ok...into the void we go

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner's> ::Looks over at the Ye;;ing

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu stay behind the planet a much as psooible.

STSF_KBear -> *possible

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kwai/Fiona> Come on...come on. One of them showed me...there's ships.

August Jax Robinson -> *Yelling::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Acknowledged

Jameson Bardolph -> @::words boiling over out of his mouth in his excitement::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::initates a target lock for the rear of the planet, and continues on course::

LtCdrJohnson -> +Bridge+ Johnson to the bridge...we've reinforced strutural integrity...the shields and the deflector...and the core...but hold on

Jameson Bardolph -> @::check-stare-blink at the double gunners:: What the hell--?

Capt Rian Kwai -> @Grab the kids and go. Bardolph, show us where to go. The rest of you, follow him.

Fiona Weber -> @ ::sets her jaw, inwardly rolling her eyes while she grabs one Gunner wrist in each hand and tugs them along::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner's> ::Pulled along::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::then shakes himself out of it and bolts back out the door, moving down the corridor back towards where Onyx showed him the ships::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Meru> ::points for them to run quickly

Jameson Bardolph -> @::over his shoulder at Rian as they approach the ships:: You were a freighter brat, right? You ever fly copilot?

Fiona Weber -> @ ::inwardly swears that she is going to demand high amounts in trade for returning not one, but two of the Robinsons' son to them::

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::it's out of habit, getting into the back of the group of Federation crew members, herding them along as the 'caboos':: Are you kidding? I was the Nav officer before Ops.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Oest Morus> Enters and sees his experiments running off, and snakes a long arm towards Fiona to stop her

Jameson Bardolph -> @Rian> Fantastic...you'll probably fly better than I do, then...

Jameson Bardolph -> @::seeing Fiona by way of looking towards Rian; shouts:: Doc!

STSF_BluRox -> @ ACTION> Several guards arrive and retake one of the Gunners and Fiona, while other Oest block their passage in the corridor, shoving captives behind them towards the ships

Fiona Weber -> @ ::screams, which is an uncharacteristically high-pitched, annoying noise, especially coming from Fiona::

Jameson Bardolph -> *seeing Morus reaching for Fiona

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::Screams::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner2> ::Cries::

STSF_BluRox -> @ An loud chime starts to sound on the vessel

Jameson Bardolph -> @::swears sharply::

Fiona Weber -> @ ::balls hand into a fist, swings hard towards Morus::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner2> ::Looks back at Weber and his new friend being taken:::

STSF_BluRox -> ACTION: As the Republic burst through the void, the find that the void was mearly an illusion created by a means we not not of which could do this

STSF_KBear -> Steady as she goes Ayumu.

Capt Rian Kwai -> @::curses in Trill, takes a deep breath and a running start to tackle the first one of the Oest guard preventing them from leaving and grabbing her crew members::

Ayumu Kasuga -> I think we've burst through!

STSF_KBear -> ::looking at the screen:: What in the..

STSF_BluRox -> but find ourselves looking upon a massive conglomeration of joined ships, each individual, yet each locked together to form a part of the whole.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::seeing the odds, swears even louder, barrels on through towards the ships::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::bites the guy who took him::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Wow...

STSF_BluRox -> I think we need a bigger ship....

Jameson Bardolph -> @::shoulder-slamming someone in his way::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Captain...we need to go!

Ayumu Kasuga -> <m> ...putting it mildly...

STSF_KBear -> I think thats an understatment.

Fiona Weber -> @ You son of a bitch. ::far, far beyond caring about the two -- four -- sensitive ears within earshot, and deep into her full-on accent:: You. Knocked. Me. Up. And it slithers, you bastard. ::shoves the Oest with all of her strength -- and anger::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Action:: Several of the tender ships have already been launched carrying their payloads of Hirogen, Klingon, and others, most organized by species as they ran together, but a few of the ships have mixed ocmpany.

STSF_KBear -> Ayumu Heather can either of you tell how many ships are there

Ayumu Kasuga -> Scanning.... ::Does so::

August Jax Robinson -> @ Gunner1> ::Cries and screams::

Ayumu Kasuga -> There's a few smaller ships launching.

STSF_BluRox -> <just for reference....it's hundreds joined together...think of an erector set, or for you younger folks....k'nex>

Jameson Bardolph -> ::slamming up against the hull of one of the ships as he breaks past an Oest guard, turning around to see if there's any way he can break the odds and reach Fiona::

Ayumu Kasuga -> <or lego?>

Jameson Bardolph -> *@

STSF_BluRox -> <that will do>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((where is the uncaptured gunner? :P ))

Ayumu Kasuga -> There seems to hundreds of them. I can't get an exact count at this time.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Morus drags Fiona back to his lab along with one of the children

Fiona Weber -> @ ::resorting to biting::
