Joe Manning -> BEGIN SIM

Joe Manning -> (( @ for planet group please ))

rosetto -> ::panting::Are we done running?

rosetto -> (oops sorry) ^@

Troy Parson -> ::looks at Byblos as the TL approaches Cap's bridge:: Remember, don't kill anyone unless they make us. And if they do make us, don't hesitate.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::bringing up rear; trying to stay out of the creek as much as the banks allow::

Pher -> @ If no one is chasing.

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: with the rest of the team at the creek::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Standing in front of the command chair with his arms folded behind his back, watching images of what's taking place on the planet on the viewscreen::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ No luck. I think we're being followed.

STSF_Nickles -> @ Anyone see any of the drones?

Kerris Kea -> ::looks around, watching the robot of Shane with the corpse:: Where we taking him?

rosetto -> @::looks back::Nope...

Byblos -> Yes sir. :::manuevers his blade from a hack to a pointing style...like to give orders...but keeps the disruptor ready::

Troy Parson -> ::takes a deep breath as the TL arrives:: Here we go...

Byblos -> :: gives Troy Parson some room because he is going to speak ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::eyes on six::

Joe Manning -> Sec Escort> ::Looks back at Kerris:: To the Sickbay and whatever space we can clear out; it's pretty crowded down there. Did you have something else in mind?

Pher -> @ :: Not liking Sal's breathing, slows the pace a little bit. ::

Troy Parson -> ::steps out as the TL doors open, looking for Tomas:: Captain Raj!

rosetto -> @::looks back up at Pher::Thanks...

Kaara Soora -> ::bites lip and sneaks over to the console for the equipment, logging in::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Turns to look back at Troy with the same puzzled expression he was pointing at the viewscreen::

Byblos -> ::Nausicaan steps out of the lift::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Lets stop and rest a moment Sal are you ok?

Byblos -> ( S H A N E !)

Kerris Kea -> ::looks at Escort:: Its really... interesting down there right now. Any suggestions Shane?

Shane -> (BYBLOS)

Pher -> @ :: Finds cover, a place for a break ::

Troy Parson -> ::sees what is on the Capricorn's viewscreen:: Captain, we don't have much time, so I'll be quick. We've got people down there...in, well...that. ::gestures to the viewscreen::

rosetto -> @Yeah, just a bit winded... 40 something isn't what it used to be...::breathes heavy::

William Chocox -> ::steps out of the TL and starts dragging the biosuit towards the group::

Shane -> ::looks up from tinkering with his new ODRI:: Uh, for what?

Troy Parson -> We've helped you stay alive and started to repair your ship, and I'm afraid it's time for me to ask for something in return.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Blinks rapidly and glances over his shoulder:: You have people ... ::Points back at the viewscreen:: People on the surface of Zoalus? Of all places?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::unheard; stops with the others, keeping a long interval as he keeps watch on their six::

Kerris Kea -> ::frowns::

Byblos -> ::Sword pointed to the viewer but sweeps the bridge with his eyes looking for anyone reaches for something::

Troy Parson -> ::grimaces:: Against my better judgement, yes, we do.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The pursuing group of drones comes into view up the creek bed

Troy Parson -> And it looks like we're going to have to get them off in a hurry.

Pher -> @ I should get you in the cargo bay dancing.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ Contact, rear.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::tried to warn them earlier::

Pher -> @ :: glances at Nickles ::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> I have never heard of anything like this occuring on this planet. ::Shakes his head:: What are your people doing down there?

STSF_Nickles -> @ hide under that bush ... Pher how long can we hold

rosetto -> @Perhaps later, Pher my dear... We have dance partners coming in now...

Pher -> @ :: Looks to see if any of them are modified ::

Kaara Soora -> ::successfully logs on, and starts looking over records::

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Guards on the Bridge move to stand beside Tomar, their eyes on Byblos

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::quiets and waits in cover::

Shane -> ::growls with annoyance:: Suggestions fer what, Doc?

Troy Parson -> Archaeology. We were on a science mission, when you lot decided to have a try at us.

Byblos -> ::gives Troy more room to still sweeping visually for threats::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Four of the dozen drones are modified

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::counts drones::

Pher -> @ :: Looks to get well into cover, but if their sensors are good enough to be this close, they are had. ::

rosetto -> @::dives into brush::

Kerris Kea -> ::frowns more:: to start the investigation.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> Not exactly my question; I was aware of the purpose of your expedition. ::Sighs and frowns:: What is it that you are asking of me, Mr. Parson?

Kerris Kea -> To look over the body and keep it safe.

Byblos -> Easy boys...Let my superior speak....:::drops the sword down to a pointing at the deck position::

Pher -> @ Chris? Can I try 'take me to your leader?'

rosetto -> @::keeps silent and eyes drones::

Pher -> @ I think we are out gunned and sensed.

William Chocox -> ::walks up to the group with Shane and Kerris:: I'm here.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::considers powering up weapon; making his shoot or don't shoot decision::

Kerris Kea -> ::looks William over, and nods::

Joe Manning -> Guard> ::Glares over at Byblos, waving his rifle:: We don't take orders from you, ape.

Troy Parson -> ::sighs:: Well, as you can see, it's all gone a bit sideways down there. We were able to get through the initial layer of defenses, but the robotic surface units have proven surprisingly formidable.

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::looks back seeing the drones :: damn

Shane -> Right. we need to look into the Capricorns security logs and find who was on this deck around the time of the Verbistul's death.

Byblos -> ::Byblos does a head COUNT of the GUARDS on BRIDGE::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Think we can make it to the coast?

Troy Parson -> So...it looks like we might need to borrow your transporters.

rosetto -> @::looks at Pher and whispers::Perhaps we could play back some of what we recorded?

Pher -> @ No.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Waves his guard back, before looking back at Troy:: I see ...

Shane -> Then cross-examine their fingerprints to the ones I found on the ODRI we recovered.

Kerris Kea -> ::nods to Shane:: Right. Perhaps... ::looks at William:: You could be of assistance>

Pher -> @ I don't want to power up anything. I don't want the non-modified guys here.

Byblos -> Ape? What is an Ape? ::honestly said::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The drones spread apart, the modified drones heading to the tops of the creek's banks while the unmodified drones continue toward the team

Pher -> @ :: said to Sal ::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Its your call doll face. If you think it will work.

William Chocox -> What do you need assistance with?

Shane -> ::looks to Will: We got volunteered fer investigations. EVA work will have to wait.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> So if I understand correctly, Mr. Parson, the lives of your people are now in the hands of my crew?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::keeps eyes on the modified drones if he can::

rosetto -> @::nods to Pher::

Pher -> @ OK. If they start using lethal stuff, die gloriously, ok?

Kerris Kea -> ::nods:: Apologies.

Troy Parson -> ::doesn't entirely like the sound of that:: You could say that.

Byblos -> ::looks to Troy briefly then notes the Guards backing off a bit::

rosetto -> @::Die?::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks around, wondering if anyone has noticed her yet::

Troy Parson -> ::glances over at Byblos::

Pher -> @ :: Picks the nearest modified drone, gets out of cover, and starts walking very slowly towards it. ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::ponders Pher's idea of talking to the drones::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Pher what about setting the ordi and tossing it. Think they will fall for that old trick?

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> Might I be overly blunt in suggesting that if I render aid, your stated intention to raid equipment or supplies from my ship might be reconsidered?

William Chocox -> Aw man. I was really hoping to use the suit.

Byblos -> (q) :: to Troy Parson :: Uh nevermind. Just do your stuff.

Kerris Kea -> Well, in any case, lets find an unused room or something, hopefully with a console already inside it.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::watches Pher leave cover; moves to provide covering fire::

Shane -> But first things first. ::indicates the body still thrown over his shoulder::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Ethan be ready in case.

Pher -> @ That's been our standard response.

Joe Manning -> Sec Escort> I can find a room for you, ma'am, where you can have privacy

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::nods::

rosetto -> @::watches in a slight panic::

Troy Parson -> ::gives Raj a long look:: I suppose, in the interests of mutual cooperation, I could find it in me to let you off with your gear intact this time.

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone> ::Points its sensor tentacle at Pher::

Troy Parson -> And your supplies, of course. We don't really have much use for those anyway.

Kerris Kea -> ::eyes escort:: I would appreciate it... we would all appreciate it.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ (w) Talking might work. ::doesn't explain thought further::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: hopes She knows what shes doing::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Nods once:: Very well then. ::Turns to one of the terminals at the front of the Bridge:: Mr. Cauer, Mr. Parson will assist you in transporting his people to the ship.

Pher -> @ Do you guys watch B movies? If you want us somewhere, show us where. You haven't given us enough language for our translators to work. I'll try giving you enough for yours.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Nods back at Troy:: You may do as you will, Mr. Parson. Our transporters are at your disposal.

Byblos -> ::ponders his stench hitting the bridge and how the heck Troy Parson can take it. Is it smoking that dried up plant Humans do?::

Troy Parson -> Thank you, Captain.

Shane -> ::deftly passes the dead Verbistul to a couple of the Sec escorts:: Here, take the dead guy to the shuttle bay.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::fingers ready on power button of rifle::

Ethan Neufeld -> finger^

Pher -> @ You've gone through a lot of trouble starting this mess. I'm hoping you have a reason for it.

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone> ::Waves the sensor tentacle up and down Pher::

Pher -> @ Do you have audio capability at all?

Kerris Kea -> ::exclaims:: What for!

Troy Parson -> ::has smelled far worse than Byblos over the course of many chemistry experiments gone very wrong::

rosetto -> @::thinking on his feet and then cries out::"De Nok, Ragoo T'malid!

Byblos -> (lol)

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone> ::Audio emerges from one of its tentacles:: Follow. ::Moves away from the creek alone::

Pher -> @ :: holding long phaser / grenade launch in her hand, pointing towards the ground, powered down ::

Troy Parson -> ::heads over to Cauer's station:: You control the transporters from here?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::cringes at Rosetto; didn't think the recordings would have worked either::

Shane -> ::to Kerris:: So we can take it back to your ship, why esle?!

Pher -> @ I will follow.

Shane -> else?!*

Pher -> @ :: starts following ::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: pulls sal down:: What are you doing!!

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Nods up at Troy:: Just need to lock on to the signatures of your team members. ::Shrugs:: I don't know who or what that would be.

Kerris Kea -> Did you get everything you need ::in a quiet voice::

rosetto -> @::whispers to Chris::trying to shut it down...

Ethan Neufeld -> @ (w) Don't think they understand you, Sal.

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone> ::Quickens its pace, moving further away from the creek and the rest of the drones, which continue on toward the rest of the team::

Pher -> @ Chris. They have audio. I've got told to follow. Could you get Sal to play it gentle? No glory games, if you could?

Troy Parson -> Look for a cluster of humanoids...organic good, machine bad. See them yet?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::frowns at what's developing::

Pher -> @ :: moves slow and easy after the one who spoke ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::was hoping it wouldn't go down this way::

rosetto -> @::hear Pher just fine and nds to Chris::

Byblos -> ::notes he has the best arc of fire from his current position on the bridge, his sword still...unsheathed pointed at the deck and quietly mutters:: Ape...What the heck is an ape?

Joe Manning -> Cauer> All of the organic then? Searching ... ::Taps the station's controls::

Shane -> ::nods lightly to Kerris as he turns to the SEC escort:: Will and I have been doing repairs all day on the scrap heap, we know our way around. We'll find a place to carry on our investigation. That'll be all.

Kerris Kea -> ::looks at Grotte:: Go with him to the shuttle bay, aye?

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::nods:: remain calm lets see whats going to happen

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The drones are about to surround the position of th rest of the team

Troy Parson -> Hopefully, they've stayed close together.

Pher -> @ I don't suppose you'd be willing to say what is going on? ( Said to the drone )

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone> Follow. ::Continues hovering away from the creek::

Troy Parson -> +Joe Manning+ Captain, the Capricorn's crew has allowed us the use of their transporters. We're trying to get a lock currently.

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::sees the remaining drones:: damnit ....

Pher -> @ Chris. They've got the world 'follow' down, but their language profile doesn't seem complete.

rosetto -> @::cringes then whispers::shouldn't we follow too??

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The modified drones are waving their sensors around at the team

Ethan Neufeld -> (What'd I miss?))

Shane -> ::walks down the cooridor leaving the escort behind::Kerris and Will:: Come on you two, we don't have all day!

STSF_Nickles -> @Hold your fire do not power anything up

Kerris Kea -> ::smiles and follows::

Byblos -> (hands Ethan duct tape)

Pher -> @ I'd suggest you follow if you don't want to be stunned and dragged, and if they stun they'll pull in a lot of hostile company.

William Chocox -> ::starts following Shane::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> Got a lock on one of them ... but I'm having difficulty initiating transport.

Kaara Soora -> ::starts hacking into the computer access record, trying to minimise the time she spends looking around::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Looks up at Troy:: I think the engineers need to take a look. We haven

rosetto -> @::rises slowly and moves toward Pher's location::

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Pher the only one going with the drones so far?))

Joe Manning -> 't made transporters a priority.

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::team:: do not raise your hands or weapons lets follow Phe

STSF_Nickles -> Pher

Byblos -> ::looks to the individual who called him an ape:: Seriously, I am curious what is an ape?

Pher -> @ :: Glances back to the group :: Follow

Ethan Neufeld -> @ Roger.

Troy Parson -> ::in the name of harmony, interrupts before the person who was talking to Byblos can speak:: It's a Naausican-like Earth creature.

Troy Parson -> ::turns back to Cauer:: Can you show me the problem?

Byblos -> Oh..thanks sir.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Waves his guards to the back of the Bridge:: It's alright. ::Looks at Troy:: I'll contact my engineering staff.

Troy Parson -> +Shane+ Mr. Shane! How are things looking down there?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::stands; lets weapon hang on sling and showing hands to indicate he won't fire on the drones::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::slowy comes out from under the cover and follows::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::follows Pher::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Throws up his hands, looking at Troy:: I'm getting a lock just fine. The sensors are having no problem. I just can't get the transporters to dematerialize.

rosetto -> @::'Honey, I'll be late for dinner' enters mind::

Shane -> ::enters the TL::Kerris:: I figure we can enlist Kaara and use your and her's medical status to examine fingerprints with less suspicion.

STSF_Nickles -> @ Ethan dont raise your hands let them hang

Shane -> Computer, Cargo bay 1.

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Not raised, just off weapon.))

Joe Manning -> @Modified Drone 2> Follow. ::Pointing its sensor tentacle at Ethan from the other bank::

Pher -> @ :: Adds a little extra hip movement to induce following ::

Byblos -> ::notes the repositioning of crew and adjusts as well moving closer to Troy Parson::

Kerris Kea -> ::nods to Shane:: Makes sense. Think its in their database?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::glances at Chris::

Shane -> +Troy+ We're followin one lead at the moment, but not much. Any luck with the transporters?

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: loves being behind this gal::

William Chocox -> ::standing with Shane in the TL::

rosetto -> @::smirks and continues::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::follows as drone 2 instructs::

Troy Parson -> +Shane+ There seems to be something preventing them from energizing. Can you get anything about the problem from our access to their computers?

Joe Manning -> @Drone 2> ::Moves away from the creek, the opposite direction from Pher's drone::

STSF_Nickles -> @ Well at least we are still upright

Shane -> ::Kerris:: I doubt it. Whoever did this will most likely have wiped it with the green ODRI. Physcical searches will be our best bet.

Kaara Soora -> ::bites on the end of her pen as she starts going meticulously through each one and then switching screens, looking up people by name and rank.::

Shane -> Physical*

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::moves with drone 2; briefly glancing as Pher's taken in the opposite direction::

STSF_Nickles -> @ whoa wait a moment Its going the other way.

rosetto -> @::nods and then begins to think about what he thought he had said::

STSF_Nickles -> @:: stops looking between the two::

Troy Parson -> +Shane+ I want to be sure that this isn't the result of somoene blocking command access to the transporters electronically...after what happened in the cargo bay, it couldn't hurt to check.

Byblos -> ::Byblos notes some modifications to the bridge..that is some obvious weld work from past repairs and console seats that don't quite match::

Pher -> @ :: Starts thinking a little bit about the direction we're being led... hopefully not towards the city center ::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::smirks to himself, finding it ironic that he'd been considering the idea of eventually talking to the mod drones himself::

Kerris Kea -> ::frowns:: You mean like... get people's fingerprints...?

Shane -> ::as lift arrives, indicates Kerris to get out:: Get Kaara in triage and keep this investigation going. Will and I will look at the TRs.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Looks at Troy:: My engineers are looking into it, Mr. Parson. Considering what has been going on, you are prudent to have your people inquire as well.

Byblos -> ::did not like hearing what Troy said but does not betray his face.

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::Chris:: Just go where they tell you.

Shane -> +Troy+ Will and I are on our way to TR1.

Troy Parson -> ::nods to Tomar:: Can't hurt, anyway.

STSF_Nickles -> @ Pher This one is heading the other way :::calls out::

Kerris Kea -> ::nods and gets out, taps comm with purpose::

rosetto -> @::Thinks about the modified drone... How did it understand English?::

Shane -> Computer, TR1.

STSF_Nickles -> @:: still standing looking between the 2 directions::

Pher -> @ Sal, it might be creating further diversion.

Kerris Kea -> ::starts towards Triage::

Joe Manning -> @Drone 2> ::Stops and waves a tentacle at Ethan::

Shane -> ::tosses the green wiped ODRI to Will:: Want this?

rosetto -> @Well, I'm following you, okay?

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::pauses as drone 2 does::

Pher -> @ In their tactical situation, if the intruders don't need to be forced in a given direction, they might well want to divert opposing forces.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> Is there anything else that we can do in the meantime?

Pher -> @ Act like you are cooperating.

rosetto -> @I am cooperating... ::smiles::

Kaara Soora -> ::sighs and starts getting impatient::

Joe Manning -> @Drone 3> ::On Ethan's side of the bank. Raises a tentacle to his back and fires a stun shot::

Troy Parson -> ::thinks:: What systems have we gotten back? Weapons? Shields?

Joe Manning -> @Drone 1> ::Quickly raises a tentacle to Pher and fires a stun shot::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::goes down, again::

Byblos -> ::keeps an eye on Troy Parson . Being closer to him now he is easier to defend him should anything happen. The Boss obviously cannot replace someone like Troy as easily as himself. His job is at stake ::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :;looks between the two:: ETHAN PHER!!

Pher -> @ :: Goes down ::

rosetto -> @::shuts up and dives into brush::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: All of the drones begin firing, the modified drones firing semi-accurate stun shots, the unmodified drones firing wildly and burning the brush

William Chocox -> ::catches the ODRI:: Sure, thanks. ::puts on the ODRI::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::freezes::

rosetto -> @::crawls over to Pher and whispers::you okay?

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Shakes head:: Shields and weapons were very badly damaged and we have not been giving them priority, but ... ::Looks at the screen::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::drops to the ground as if hit ::

Shane -> ::I'm uploading the same data configurations to your unit right now. You'll have the same access to all the ships controls that I do in case I'm dad or something.

Pher -> @ :: Not moving, not speaking ::

Kerris Kea -> ::arrives at Triage, and lets herself get distracted::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Two drones immediately swoop toward Ethan. They are the only two not firing

William Chocox -> Ok.

Shane -> ::taps on the holoscreen of his ODRI::

rosetto -> @::looks at Pher's condition... she seems unconscious::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> It would appear that there is new weapons firing appearing ... next to your people?

STSF_Nickles -> @ Sal stay with Pher

rosetto -> @No prob...

Byblos -> ::wonders if the Doctors are okay that was his origninal assignment...plus they saved his ass. Now Shane must be keeping an eye on them while his new assignment goes on..::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::slowly inches his way to Ethan::

Kaara Soora -> ::looks around, eyes spot Kerris, working on some patient, and raises an eyebrow::

Shane -> ::exits the TL as it arrives on deck, headed for the TR1:: Contact Kerris or Kaara and give them a personel list of everyone on the Death Deck when the Verbistul kicked the bucket.

Troy Parson -> ::looks at the screen:: Looks like.

Shane -> You should find it in the security logs.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The two drones latch hooks onto Ethan's gear and lift him up, carrying him away from the creek

Byblos -> ::looks at viewscreen:: None of those planetary batteries are active are they? :: to No One In Paritcular ::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: stands to try to follow the drones carring Ethan::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Looks at Troy:: One of the torpedo tubes is still semi-functional if you think it might prove some help

Kerris Kea -> ::changes bandages on a patient, getting lost in the work::

Shane -> ::enters the TR1 to find Capricorn ENG personel already working::

William Chocox -> ::starts compiling the list:: Will do that.

Troy Parson -> ::thinks:: Torpedoes, hm? I suppose...::thinks::

rosetto -> @::never studied medicine and is at a loss... looks at Pher again and tries to shake her.::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: staying low to the ground following Ethans set oof drones::

Troy Parson -> ::thinking out loud:: We did manage to get a probe through to the surface after some modifications, and a torpedo isn't much difference.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: From above, disruptor blasts rain down near the team's position, striking the grounda good 50 yards or so away

Pher -> @ (Softly) Not now, love. Sleepy.

Byblos -> ::to Troy Parson:: Sorry sir. Never blasted a planet before. Just..uh....the wrong..err...nevermind.

rosetto -> @(w)Thank God...

Troy Parson -> Unfortunately, at the kind of yield that a torpedo delivers even on minimum power, we'd be likely to blast our own team to bits.

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Nods over to the tactical station:: Prepare a torpedo in the active bay. ::Looks at Troy:: Tell me what you wish and I will see it done.

Kaara Soora -> ::logs off quickly, a list of suspicious characters in her head, and makes her way over to Kerris::

STSF_Nickles -> @ ::: following Ethan ducking the raining fire::

Troy Parson -> So we're going to have to change the contents a little.

Ethan Neufeld -> ((If only we'd had our radios for the 'danger close'.))

Pher -> @ :: Considers. Sleep? Make love? One can always sleep. Was that an explosion? ::

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Looks at Shane:: You the mercenary help? Can't figure out why the transporters aren't responding. They're getting adequate power.

Shane -> ::stomps up to one of the engineers:: What have you found so far?

William Chocox -> ::walks into the TR waiting for someone to call him over::

Shane -> (scratch last line)

rosetto -> @::looks at Pher again::(w)Things are heating up here....

Pher -> @ :: Maybe sleep is a bad option. ::

Byblos -> Uh Wait gentlemen..are we in that robot planet's firing range? I hope not given the first surveys..

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> Only thing left is to crack open the assembly itself, but it did not sustain much damage in the battles.

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: moving with Ethan barely able to keep him in his sight::

Ethan Neufeld -> ((BRB))

Troy Parson -> ::fishing around in his pockets, comes up with a slightly incomplete version of the special hat thing...Well, it's not ideal, but it will do.::

Shane -> ::TR operater:: We'll take a look. Wheres the buffer and scanner access panels?

Kaara Soora -> ::Stands right behind Kerris, waiting for her to notice her presence.::

Pher -> @ Not feeling very hot...

rosetto -> @Understood... Being stunned is never much fun...

Pher -> @ :: Shakes head, somewhat, confused. Starts to recognize her usual after the stun burst tingles ::

Byblos -> ::looks to Troy wondering what the heck is the Braintrust thinking of doing::

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Nods over to the transport pad:: Just beside the pad nearest the door.

Troy Parson -> ::to Raj:: Captain, do you feel any particular need for, erm...::points to one of the lights on the bridge's ceiling:: this?

Kerris Kea -> ::looks up to move to the next patient over, and jumps as she sees Soora standing there:: Holy Badiyah!

Pher -> @ I don't suppose going back to sleep is an option?

STSF_Nickles -> @ where the heck are they taking him

rosetto -> @Chris is following the one that took Ethan...

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> The lights? We could do little good stumbling around in the dark, Mr. Parson.

Pher -> @ :: Opens eyes and starts looking around ::

Kaara Soora -> ::smirks softly:: Hello there Kerris. How did it go?

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Back.))

Shane -> ::turns to Will:: start lookin' around the focusing panels for anything out of place. I assume you've worked with transporters before?

Troy Parson -> No, not all of them, just that one. ::points::

Pher -> @ OK. Did anyone do anything stupid?

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The drones begin pulling away from the creek, following Ethan and his 'escort', and firing warning shots back at the team

Byblos -> ::puzzled as the Brains get going and his does not::

William Chocox -> Yes I have. ::walks over to the panels and starts opening them::

rosetto -> @I didn't...::cringes::

Pher -> @ :: Looks for a modified drone ::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Glances up at the light and blinks at Troy:: I don't suppose that we do ... ::Shrugs::

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: so far able to duck the shots trying to keep up with the drones carring Ethan::

Shane -> ::kneels down in front of the side access panel, popping it off and tossing it aside with a clatter::

Pher -> @ Does anyone seem to be expecting us to follow?

Byblos -> ::to Tomar Raj :: How old do you think that light unit is. Given the age of this ship?

Pher -> @ :: Mind starting to work. ::

Troy Parson -> Thanks! ::heads over to the light and starts disassembling it, removing a small piece of wiring from the middle:: Just needed this.

rosetto -> @Nope... But we're gonna lose Chris and Ethan if we wait here::points in their direction::

Byblos -> ::looks on::

Troy Parson -> ::turns to Byblos:: Mr. Byblos, do me a favor?

Pher -> @ Humph. They have bad taste, it seems. They like Ethan better than me.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: From the horizon, a much larger group of drones is approaching the team's position, apparently from the direction of the now fading battle

Byblos -> Yes sir? ::to Troy Parson::

Kerris Kea -> ::shrugs, and goes to next patient, looking busy:: Could have gone better. ::lowers voice:: Will and Shane are going to work on the investigation, and have asked us to look at fingerprints... so ::pauses and pulls out her PADD, porting her over some info: Hand me that syringe will ya?

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Or potentially get shot if you try to follow.))

rosetto -> @Crap... more drones...

Pher -> @ OK. I'm going to assume that new group is less friendly.

STSF_Nickles -> ((Chris is TRYING but loosing you))

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Thankfully, the large craft is heading back to the port city

Troy Parson -> From this ship's mess, I need five glasses, two forks, some gum, and a cup of coffee. Can you get those for me?

Pher -> @ I suggest you and I play dead. Do you see any modified guys in the new group?

Kaara Soora -> ::hands Kerris the syringe, feels her own PADD buzz, and ponders:: I'll crosscheck them with the list I have already acquired.

Pher -> @ If I'm reading this right, they should be beta blind.

Shane -> ::searching through the conduits, trying not to cross anything::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Watching the display on the screen:: Coffee and gum are not items we have in great supply, Mr. Parson.

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Can't fault you for trying.))

Kerris Kea -> ::frowns:: What list?

Pher -> @ If we try to free Ethan, we'll likely just lead the heavies towards his position.

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: ducks an incoming shot ::

Troy Parson -> ::shrugs:: I need a low-powered adhesive, and if he's going to the mess anyway...

William Chocox -> ::continues to poke around:: Hey boss? ::starts pulling an object out:: I think I found something.

Troy Parson -> I suppose tape will do instead of the gum, though.

Byblos -> Uh....Crap....Grabs his sword pokes himself and starts writing on a simple bridge panel then removes the panel with the list written in his blood::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The drones are putting distance between themselves and Nickles, moving too quickly for him to pursue

Byblos -> Okay..::smears his blood a bit and makes correction::

Troy Parson -> As for the coffee...you really don't have much?

Shane -> ::turns and steps over to Will:: Hmm...

Troy Parson -> You folks really *are* badly off, aren't you?

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> Coffee would be a luxury on our ship. At this point, Mr. Parson, might you wish to take your chances with a low yield torpedo? Or some other payload?

STSF_Nickles -> @ :: ducks a few more shots ... recovers and looks for Ethan having lost him:: DAMN!

Troy Parson -> I mean, I could understand not having any food...but no coffee? That's terrible.

Byblos -> ::looks at Tomar Raj :: Uh sorry I'll bring it back..consider it my autograph.

Shane -> ::fingers the device, looking it over:: Looks like the same tech as the other piece we found.

Kaara Soora -> Of people who have accessed the computers recently, and did some shifty things. I figured they had to know what they were doing, but perhaps I could have gotten some residuals... lets hope so. ::takes out PADD:: I'll crosscheck, and then what... send to Shane?

Byblos -> ::has panel with blood list on it::

Troy Parson -> ::looks at Raj:: A low-powered torpedo might take out a few drones, but it won't stop the others from killing my people.

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Attempts another transport::

Troy Parson -> What I'm going to do is reverse the polarity on my radiation-absorption net here...::waves the incomplete hat-thing at Raj::...

rosetto -> ((back?))

Kerris Kea -> ::eyes Soora, wondering if she is well.:: Either one, though I would like the list as well. You eaten recently?

William Chocox -> Really? That's odd.

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Nickles dematerializes

Pher -> @ I tried to follow. Maybe they don't like wiggling hips. Bad programming.

Troy Parson -> Power it off the torpedo's AM warhead for a second before it overloads, while scattering the radiation all over with mirror fragments.

Byblos -> Okay Troy Parson I am on my way to the mess!

rosetto -> @::watches Chris disappear::

Pher -> @ Woah.

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Looks up at Tomar and Troy:: Transporters are functional.

STSF_Nickles -> @:: looks around as being transported but to where:::

Troy Parson -> Think of it as being like a blinding light for drone eyes...

Joe Manning -> Cauer> We've retrieved one of your people.

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Nickles materializes on the transport pad

Byblos -> Are you going to be fine? ::stops before he heads to the lift::

Pher -> @ That is going to attract attention. Was that a disintegrate shot or... that looked like it might have been a transporter.

rosetto -> @(w)did you see that?

Shane -> Well I gue....::hears the TR activate and has Nickle appear next to him::TR Operater:: Jyking qoh, you idiot! Wait till we're clear!

Pher -> @ I wish I was sure of what I saw.

Troy Parson -> +Capricorn's Transporter Room+ Parson to Transporter Room. Identify!

STSF_Nickles -> ::looks around:: Where the hell am I

rosetto -> @I'd say transporter....

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Shrugs at Shane:: I was told this was urgent. Looks like whatever you did worked ...

Byblos -> ::runs to mess::

Pher -> @ :: Looks to see if the drones have changed course ::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: The drones continue carrying Ethan off toward the nearby woods

Troy Parson -> ::looks at Cauer:: That's one...any luck finding the rest?

William Chocox -> ::jumps back having nearly been hit by Nickles:: My goodness!

Shane -> ::glares death at the TR operater:: Nickles:: You're on the Capricorn Doc Nickles.

rosetto -> @I don't think they noticed...

Joe Manning -> Cauer> Attempting to establish locks ...

Byblos -> ::lift door closes:: Crap if they do turncoat and take Troy Parson Hostage..The Boss will fire me for sure..

Pher -> @ :: Keeps her stuff close at hand, just in case someone wants to beam her somewhere too. ::

Kaara Soora -> ::absorbed in the information:: What? Oh... ::thinks:: No, I don't believe I have. I'll grab an apple. ::walks back to console::

Joe Manning -> @ACTION: Pher, Rosetto, and Zaphod are transported up to the Capricorn

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> Heads up.

Pher -> @ If I had more energy, I'd consider doing something.

STSF_Nickles -> Who authorized a transport!!

Troy Parson -> ::working on weaving the bit of lamp into the already improvised radiation hat::

rosetto -> @WT!

Kerris Kea -> ::frowns after Soora, and returns to her work, filling the syringe with practised ease, sighing::

Shane -> ::steps off the padd with Will and Chris::+Troy+ Parson, we got Nickles aboard and are workin' on the others.

Joe Manning -> Cauer> That's three more. ::Looks up at Troy:: There's another one a good distance away. Seems to be with the mechanicals.

rosetto -> ::finds himself on a transport pad::

Shane -> ::Nickles:: Parson did. On orders from the Cap'n.

Byblos -> :: The Nausican runs down the hallway of the old Connie' making thumping sounds as he runs...dodging repair crews and very curious eyes::

rosetto -> ::looks around at Pher and Zap::

Troy Parson -> Grab him if you can. If you can't, use that transporter beam of yours to rip as many parts as you can out of those drones...maybe it'll buy him some time.

Pher -> @ :: Looks about, hearing some pointed discussion, hoping no one needs to be shot. ::

Pher -> @ :: Doesn't feel too much like moving just yet. ::

STSF_Nickles -> Well get the rest of them!!

Byblos -> (Of Course Byblos would never of thought of the Ready Room ..which no doubt has everything Troy Needed..)

Kaara Soora -> ::logs back onto the console and runs some of the data through, making sure to cover her trail::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Glances over at Tomar as well:: I'd send some guards down to the transporter room to be sure. If it was me. ::Taps the controls::

Shane -> ::to Zap, Rosetta and Pher:: You're on the Capricorn! Relax!

Pher -> @ :: Crawls off the transporter pad, though ::

Joe Manning -> Tomar Raj> ::Crosses his arms:: How many people did you have on the planet, Mr. Parson?

Troy Parson -> ((And Troy, never having served on a Federation ship, wouldn't have thorught of it either))

rosetto -> ::looks over at Chris taking charge and then moves toward Pher::You alright, sweeite?

Troy Parson -> ::to Raj:: Too many, by the look of things.

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Ethan materializes on the transporter pad, still unconscious

Pher -> @ OK pretty much, or will be in a half hour.

Byblos -> ::Enters the Mess too find......::

Ethan Neufeld -> @ ::is, apparently, still unconscious::

Ethan Neufeld -> ((::erases that @::))

Troy Parson -> ::to Cauer:: Did you get him?

STSF_Nickles -> ::sees Ethan and rushes over to him::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> I ... think that's everyone. ::Nods up at Troy and Tomar::

rosetto -> ::helps Pher::

Pher -> @ Can I pretend to be dizzy, tingly and disoriented for a while? Maybe get out of work for a little bit?

Troy Parson -> ::nods:: Thanks.

STSF_Nickles -> DO you at least have a medic on this ship? If not someone grab me a medkit!!

Shane -> +Troy+ Parson, the TRs were being inhibited by another green device similiar to the one we found on the main computer core. Looks like it was installed recently to me.

Troy Parson -> +Byblos+ Mr. Byblos, it looks like we won't need that gear after all.

rosetto -> ::helps Pher to her feet::I think we're on the Capricorn...

Troy Parson -> +Shane+ All right. Put a protective field around it, just in case...if the installer touched it., I want any evidence to be preserved.

Kerris Kea -> ::finishes up with that patient and makes her way slowly over to Soora, trying to be unconspicious::

Pher -> @ OK. Any idea who is in charge here? Chris?

Byblos -> ::enters MESS Huffing and Puffing and grabs COMM:: Understood...ah....status Sir?

rosetto -> No idea, but CHris is just over there tending to Ethan...

Joe Manning -> #+Troy+ Nice work over there, Parson. Bit last minute of you, but we got everyone but Macen. He should still be safe and sound in the shuttle.

Pher -> @ :: Doesn't want a medic. Would rather have Chris. Decides it might not be the right time to express her preferences. ::

Shane -> ::looks around for a protective field...and sticks the device in his pocket::

Troy Parson -> +Byblos+ Looks like they got the transporter working after all

STSF_Nickles -> :: checking Ethan:; Someone grab a medkit!!

Ethan Neufeld -> ::might wake eventually::

Troy Parson -> +Shane+ Make sure not to do anything that might smear fingerprints or wipe off DNA traces!

rosetto -> ::turns to Zap but he seems to be fine::

Shane -> ::stepping over the the AT::+Troy+ Right, right.

Kaara Soora -> +Shane+ Some suspicious characters, that's for sure. I'll send them over to you. How things there?

Byblos -> +Troy+ Good sir. I'm returning to your position..tell them the "ape" is returning..so the security team does not blast me to bits.

STSF_Nickles -> Pher? Sal You guys okay?

Pher -> @ Chair. Does the Capricorn have chairs? Beds? A bed would be good.

Shane -> +Kaara+ Doc, we've got an unconcious guy here in TR, you might want to send someone down.

Pher -> @ A hug would be nice, but isn't absolutely necessary. A chair would almost do.

rosetto -> Yeah, I'm okay... Pher seems a bit shaken::looks for a chair::

Troy Parson -> +Joe+ Thanks, sir. Hopefully Macen will have the sense to bring the shuttle back...

Byblos -> ::sprints to the TL....Troy in his mind if vulnerable and some rat is still on this ship He's got the guard the Brains::

Kaara Soora -> ::considers;: +Shane+ Want me or Kerris?

Shane -> ::pulls the device back out and performs a scan of it with his ODRI::

rosetto -> Here, Pher... Sit here...::finds chair::

Shane -> +Kaara+ I prefer you, but I don't think the "Vulcan" cares.

Pher -> @ :: If is not offered a hug, accepts the chair. ::

Kaara Soora -> ::stands, looking around for Kerris, so she can hopefully take over::

STSF_Nickles -> Someone contact Joe and tell him we are here!

Joe Manning -> #+Troy+ Actually, I think that shuttle leaving the water would be pretty unsensible right now, Troy.

Joe Manning -> #+Troy+ We'll keep him down underneath the laser field for the time being.

Byblos -> ::nearly runs over a tellarite orderly:: Uh sorry ......::and stumbles into lift:: Bridge! ::exhausted...::

Shane -> ::Chris:: Parson's got it covered up on the bridge. Relax a little.

Kaara Soora -> +Shane+ I don't pretend that I don't care. I'll come. ::taps to Kerris on her PADD and heards to the TL::

Troy Parson -> +Joe+ Got it. Say..

Pher -> @ :: Notices she still has an asterisk attached to her vocal chords. Wonders in a vague sort of dizzy way whether she ought to have an asterisk. Is it important? ::

Troy Parson -> +Joe+ Mind doing me a favor and placing a cup of coffee on part of the bridge decking away from other objects?

Kerris Kea -> ::feels her PADD buzz, and pulls it out, looking up just in time to see Soora out the door::

Joe Manning -> #+Troy+ Your coffee is already a good distance away from any of the crew ...

Pher -> @ Chairs are good.

rosetto -> Hey Big Guy! Do the replicators work here?

STSF_Nickles -> :: scans Ethan with a tricorder::

Joe Manning -> #+Troy+ I'll make a cup for the invisible man who lives behind the combat station.

Troy Parson -> +Joe+ Wonderful, thanks.

STSF_Nickles -> Ethan ?

Shane -> ::Rosetta:: No, the ship barely has oxygen.

Troy Parson -> ::depleted the coffee he brought with him long ago, of course::

Joe Manning -> ACTION: Ethan's alive and well but deeply sedated

rosetto -> Great!...

Byblos -> ::TL arrives at Bridge....Byblos with Panel in tow walks on bridge winded....all smiles ....and replaces the panel:: Oh Kay....:::wipes sweat from his brow::

STSF_Nickles -> Shane who is Parsons

Ethan Neufeld -> ((Well, that answers my question... ::smirks::))

Kaara Soora -> ::In TL:: Transporter Rom

Pher -> Chairs are good. Great? Not so sure about great...

Kaara Soora -> ((ROOM lol))

Shane -> ::Nickles:: Troy, who else?

STSF_Nickles -> damn His vitals are all low. I want him in sickbay!

Kaara Soora -> ::steps out, holding her bag firmly on her shoulder, searching around for the wounded one::

Troy Parson -> ::looks at Cauer:: All right, we've just got one more job for you...::gives him the coordinates of the area behind QoB's combat station:: There's a small container of liquid at these coordinates. If possible, beam it directly here.

STSF_Nickles -> ::to Shane why didint you say so

rosetto -> Shane, How about a sick bay? Or maybe just a couple of bunks?

Kaara Soora -> ::eyes land on Ethan, and rushes over::

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Steps around the transport station and looks around at everyone:: Well, now that everyone's accounted for, I'm going back to my crosswords. ::Leaves the transporter room::

Byblos -> ::to Tomar Raj :: See right back where it was before. Hah!

Pher -> :: Notes a vulcan doctor. Tries to look healthy. ::

STSF_Nickles -> ::nods to Kaara:: His vitals are all extrememly low.

Kaara Soora -> ::to Rosetto:: Unless you want to share a bunk with a dead or dying man, no such luck::

Shane -> ::growling under his breathe at the TR operater:: Jyking petaQ...

Kaara Soora -> ::looks Chris over, assessing him::

Joe Manning -> Cauer> ::Raises an eyebrow at Troy and locks on to the coordinates:: I'll send it to the transporter room.

Kaara Soora -> ::turns attention to Ethan, pulls out her PADD and scans him, frowning::

STSF_Nickles -> ::pushes her away:: IM fine Hes not!!

Troy Parson -> ::sighs:: That will have to do.

rosetto -> ::eyes Kaara::hmmm... not likely...

Joe Manning -> TR Operator> ::Groans as his communicator's alarm beeps again. Turns back to retrieve Troy's coffee::

Kaara Soora -> ((I wasn't touching you, just looking, silly))

Byblos -> ::looks to Troy Parson:: We still have a missing piece to this..puzzle...Sir.

Joe Manning -> PAUSE SIM
