Dvokr chim Hok -> +Granger+ Understood.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ((lol))

Gretchen Hanson -> Bolian Cmdr.> Tell the squad to begin. I'll join you in a moment.

Cassie Granger -> +ASO+ Solid Copy, Eagle 2.

Dvokr chim Hok -> :: The ambassador and his staff wait. Whatever is happening is occuring above them. They each look at the ceiling of the underground 'bunker' for some sign of progress ::

Gretchen Hanson -> ACTION: the Bolian squad moves out through one of the tunnels, leaving the commander alone with the Ambassador::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::waves the team in, standard breach and clear, Daniels and Souter covering the entrance::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> :::hold, take cover signal::

H.G. Reed -> :: Monitors the squad. ::

Gretchen Hanson -> Bolian Cmdr.> ::to the Amb. Arleth:: Well, sir, it seems the captain of your Federation ship has decided to push things along.

Artemis -> Sir, I am picking up some movement coming out from the tunnels. It's not ours

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Captain's are not always known for their patience

Cptn Ja'Lale -> The bolians, yeah?

Cassie Granger -> Gonzales> +com+ Eagle 2 to Eagle 1.

EddieFreeman -> ::cracks knuckles and sits down to review the data, stopping to view the contacts Artemis spotted::

Artemis -> Aye, sir. Bio-signatures match Bolian profiles.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Better than waiting around for the unknown.

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +Eagle 2+ Go ahead.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Send a message to the extraction team. They'll have company. ::to Hok::

Cassie Granger -> Gonz> +Eagle 1, helmet scan shows Bolian squad approaching.

Gretchen Hanson -> Bolian Cmdr.> Yes, it's a shame. I hope he can deliver you safely back to your ship through the fighting up above. Unfortunately we won't be here to help.

Gretchen Hanson -> Bolian Cmdr.> ::makes a slight bow to Arleth, and then withdraws down the same tunnel as his squad earlier::

Dvokr chim Hok -> +Extraction team+ This is Challenger, you have company inbound.

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +COM+ Eagle 2, hold position.

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +Hok+ Copy that, Challenger. Eagle 2 is holding position.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Stands up :: Hey, are we just to sit down here?!

H.G. Reed -> :: Checks on the status updates. ::

Cassie Granger -> Hector> ::gives Moa the sign::

Gretchen Hanson -> Bolian Cmdr.> ::meets up with his squad a short distance down the tunnel, and they make their way to another opening on the surface::

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ Misty> Scans show that the Bolians have left the area of the Ambassador and his aide. :;Relays to ASO and Challenger.::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +Shadow 1+ Copy.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Remains standing, one of his staff begs him to sit :: Sir, you may want to wait.

Cassie Granger -> +Shadow 1+ Shadow 1, Eagle Base. Any signs of hostility?

Dyan Sylvanis -> +Eagle Base+ Negative, seems the unknowns have left. Target is awaiting evac.

Dyan Sylvanis -> *@

Cassie Granger -> +Shadow 1+ Copy.

Gretchen Hanson -> ACTION: The Bolians activate a transport device and dematerialize.

Cassie Granger -> +ASO Rogers+ You got that, Eagle 1?

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +Roger, Eagle Base+

Artemis -> Sir, detecting transport signatures. It appears the Bolians have left the surface

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ Misty> Confirmed transport signatures. Bolians are gone.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::rubs chin:: Interesting.. What do or did they want?

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Runs out to the hallway and encounters a door... locked magnetically, the two staff members run out with him ::

Cassie Granger -> ::watching the screen::puzzled::

EddieFreeman -> ::watches the transport:: In and out. Didn't actually do anything...

Derrick Sabin -> ::working to track the transport signatures:::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Why are they locking us in here, so we can't affect the conflict?

H.G. Reed -> :: Listens to Kal with interest. ::

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ +Moa+ Eagle 1, movement down below. Target seems to be moving in your direction.

Cassie Granger -> Hector> +COM+ Eagle 1, We lost them.

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +COM+ Eagle 2, no signal.

Cassie Granger -> Hector> +COM+ Shadow 1, copy.

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ Mist, patch your scans to the Mule, real time. I think they are having trouble.

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ Misty> Gotcha. ::Links Shadow 1's sensors to Eagle 2.::

Derrick Sabin -> ::loses the residual signal somewhere along a polar axis point::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> +Shadow 1+ Uh..thanks for the assist. Got it. +EAgle 2+ Bolians are gone. Proceed.

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::moves the team out after Hector acknowledges::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> :::on the hunt, standard clear::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Tries to operate the door :: Do you know anything about doors Lt.?

Cassie Granger -> ::watching the helmet feed::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::rounding the corner, comes to a type of bunker::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Aide :: I do not Ambassador.

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::helmet scan shows ambassador's bio signs::

Artemis -> ::Turns to Freeman:: Any guesses where they might have gone?

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::places a comm transmitter on the door:: +COM+ Federation security. Open the door.

H.G. Reed -> :: Quietly working, making updates, checking systems. ::

Cassie Granger -> O'Neill> ::checking the door for weaknesses::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> ::monitors the extraction process::

EddieFreeman -> That leaves a lot of room to wiggle. Polar base? Other side of the planet? Might be worth maneuvering a probe closer to the last point you had a signal.

Cassie Granger -> Moa> +Arleth+ Ambassador, acknowledge your presence with code word.

EddieFreeman -> ::pulls up the probes on his console, trying to decide which one is least needed where it is::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> ::turning to the pilot, sharp nod::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > +Moa+ Ad astra per aspera

Cassie Granger -> Moa> +Arleth+ Stand away from the door.

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::placing small charges by the magnetic points, they blow the door::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Backs the ... up ::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> ::thumbs up for descent::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> Ambassador Arleth, I am GySgt Momoa. Is your detail with you?

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Yes, my two staff members are with me and well, as am I.

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::spots them behind him:: Come with us.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: One man and one woman step in behind him ::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Nods to the others ::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> :;after facial recognition::the team leads them out, swiftly, clearing the way::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> ::hovering at the extraction point::

Cassie Granger -> Gonzales> +COM+ Challenger Actual, this is Eagle 2. We have three packages.

EddieFreeman -> ::shuffles a probe that isn't doing much of anything closer to the pole::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::piles into the shuttle with the team behind::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Gonzalez+ Good job. RTB.

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> ::signals the pilot and they take off, headed for Challenger::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > This whole damned mess..

Dyan Sylvanis -> @ ::Follows after Eagle 2, along with the other 3 Shadows.::

Cassie Granger -> Tanya> ::checking the three as the shuttle moves out of the atmosphere::

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: to whomever :: Where are we going?

Hunter Matheson -> :::lets out a breath::

Cassie Granger -> Moa> USS Challenger, Mr. Ambassador. You'll be safe there.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Challenger? Never heard of the ship.

Gretchen Hanson -> ::in sickbay, Gretchen receives the message that the extraction was succesful and the Ambassador and his assistants might be needing further medical care::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Wish it didn't have to come to that.

Cassie Granger -> +Hok+ Inform the captain they are inbound.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Well, until today.

Dvokr chim Hok -> +Granger+ Aye

Cassie Granger -> Moa> ::grin:: Looks like you have now, sir.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Crew Chief Barnes> ::On the flight deck prepping to receive.:: Alright ladies. We have in coming. Clear the deck!

H.G. Reed -> @ Neonew :: Attempting to contact Challenger. :: ...+Challenger+

Dvokr chim Hok -> Captain, the ambassador and his two aides are enroute to Challenger.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Good job.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Neonew+ Hello? Did you try to contact us?

Cassie Granger -> ::steps into the shuttle bay to meet the ambassador when they land::

H.G. Reed -> @ Neonew > +Challenger+ Starfleet ship! This is outrageous. Your incursion upon our territory amounts to a declaration of war!

Hunter Matheson -> (m) Good luck with that one, guy.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Neonew+ What's outrageous is the fact our ambassador was captured in your said territory.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Not to mention all this infighting here

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Watching the tail end of the shuttle as they approach Challenger.::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> (5 mintes)

H.G. Reed -> @ Neonew +Challenger+ The Biamaal were not involved in the abduction of your ambassador adn I resent the implication that we were!

Cassie Granger -> ::waiting for the shuttle to land::

EddieFreeman -> ::watching the feed for the shuttle landing::

Cassie Granger -> ::it lands and the team piles out, followed by the ambassador::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Neonew+ Perhaps.. it was regrettable, but we had to ensure his safety and get him out.

Cassie Granger -> ::steps forward:: Ambassador Arleth, welcome aboard USS Challenger. I am Captain Granger, Marine detachment, here to escort you to the bridge, if you're up to it, sir.

H.G. Reed -> @ Neonew +Challenger+ You should have requested our assistance in dealing with the Bolians instead of your illegal incursion into our territory. It is unacceptable!

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Shadow Squad begins to land, except for Shadow 1. She remains out for the moment.:: +Barnes+ Make sure the shuttle is cleared before I land.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > Thank you Captain. All I ask is something cold to drink and for my staff behind me to rest.

Cassie Granger -> ::steps aside, greeting his security detail as they exit::

Cassie Granger -> Of course, Ambassador. ::leads them out of the bay and into the lift:: Bridge.

Dyan Sylvanis -> Barnes> +Hawk+ Yes Ma'am. Shadow 1 is coming in. Masks on! ::Grabs his mask from his belt and places it over his face. The rest of the ground crew begins to follow suit.::

Cassie Granger -> +COM+ This is Granger. The Ambassador and his detail are en route to the bridge. Requesting cold drinks.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Arleth > :: Goes onto the lift :: Ah, lighting...

Cassie Granger -> ::smile:: Yes, sir. We do have lights aboard. ::lift stops at the bridge and she steps out to escort him::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> +Neonew+ What's unacceptable is starting this whole thing in the first place. We do not take kindly to forces to illegally invade other countries.

Dyan Sylvanis -> ::Comes in to land.::

Hunter Matheson -> ASO Rogers> ::exits the shuttle, thumbs up to Shadow squadron::

H.G. Reed -> @ +Challenger+ We are not illegally invading anywhere! We have sovereign rights!

Dyan Sylvanis -> Barnes> ::Checking to make sure all the bodies on the deck has their masks on.::

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Again -- great job everyone!

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Shall we pick up from there next week?

Dyan Sylvanis -> sure

Cassie Granger -> works

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Just keeps getting better and better, eh? lol

Gretchen Hanson -> yes, another 0 tbs, since we're in mid-conversation with Neonew, and the fighters are landing!

Dvokr chim Hok -> A whole week and he does not get a cold drink.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Any questions before we dismiss?

Dyan Sylvanis -> Don't forget to vote if you haven't done so already.

Hunter Matheson -> vote?

Gretchen Hanson -> I'll do that now. see you all next week everyone.

Dyan Sylvanis -> For the fighters. It's on the message board.

Hunter Matheson -> Right.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Yes.. there is a poll in the Challenger forums in which a choice of a fighter plane is given. Please go ahead and vote for your favourite

Hunter Matheson -> I was thinking it's not Tuesday.

Derrick Sabin -> special election, Kal

Dyan Sylvanis -> lol

Hunter Matheson -> Right.

Cassie Granger -> Heh. Will do.

Derrick Sabin -> good night all. See you next Sunday.

H.G. Reed -> Night

Dyan Sylvanis -> night night

Hunter Matheson -> Night.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> And good job to Cadet Artemis. Let me know where you want to be assigned next week.

Dvokr chim Hok -> Look at the results now

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Can be done via PMs.

Cptn Ja'Lale -> Thanks... good night folks!

Cptn Ja'Lale -> See you next week

Dvokr chim Hok -> Have a good week cass

Cassie Granger -> Have a good one, Hok.
