Mission Summary:

The Crew of the USS Scimitar have been asked to do the unthinkable. Break their one unbreakable code, the Prime Directive.

Is it worth it, to interfere in this culture for a way back home? What is a life on an alien planet, compared to that of one where you have destroyed the very fiber on which Starfleet stands?

The crew have a decision to make, one that can change the very future…if not their own lives.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission: Inner Conflicts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: The crew has had a chance to exchange information, surf for new information, and make decisions. The sun appears at its Zenith above the alien world
Host OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay Pollard paces the small cell that her and her companions have found themselves in. Sighing heavily, she looks out at the sun:: ALL: So what do we do?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::is led down staring at the ceiling::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::stays in a corner...arms folded against his chest as he looks out over the room::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
All: How do they propose we help eliminate the rebel leader?
Host SM_Jim says:
ACTION: Three hooded servants enter bearing several trays, flanked by two guards to close and lock the door behind them
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the three who enter:: Self: interesting
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::throws back his hood, catching the last of the XO's comment:: XO: You can kill me now, if you like...
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She speaks out loud:: ALL: We know that his NODAM system is oppressive, a primitive Borg system if you will, but without it we can't get home. It seems however that it may be taking a consciousness of it's own, controlling people and the like...::She sighs::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::sits up examining the newcomer::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::pacing back and forth waiting for the decision of the CO::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She stops and turns, noticing the three cloaked figures for the first time:: Self: Hmmmmm...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks mildly amused this is not what she had expected:: Tarus: It was something I would have liked to try and avoid? So you are this rebel leader. ::introduces the group by name waiting to hear why he is here now::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::smiles softly, speaking in strong and earthy tones:: XO: I am Tarus Gamil, your "Rebel Leader". As for why I’m here, I’ve come to help you
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Tarus: How do you propose to help us, can you return us? ::turns to the rest of the group, to see their reactions::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay nods to Janan slowly - if Gamil could aid them in getting home, they may be able to use that to their advantage::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::watches with almost no interest. His mind still reeling from the events of the past month::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he pauses for a moment:: XO: Alas...I cannot. But I can help you to escape, and I offer you the chance to help me. As you know, we are to attack NODAM this evening. We would like your help to gain entrance to the compound
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::notes the crews reactions::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shaking head::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he tilts his head slightly:: XO: But...I can let you speak with NODAM before we destroy it. Perhaps it would give you the answers you so desperately seek, and a way to get to the home you were so brutally pulled from
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard moves away from the window and closer to Kamarov. As she does, she keeps a solid eye on the three cloaked figure - hoping to get some sort of idea of their abilities:: EO: Think we should help them?
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
FCO: We have to protect NODAM, its our only way home
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::shrugs:: OPS: Whichever side we choose, blood will more than likely be spilled.  And it will be on our hands.
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::lays back down::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
EO: Unfortunately, you're quite right...the question then becomes one of philosophy - which side is more "correct." Can we really decide that?
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::whispers:: FCO: We have a chance now to kill him........
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: Tarus: So you ask us to chose your side in a disagreement which we know very little about?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: If you want to be serving in a penal colony for the next 50 years be my guest
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
OPS: Does it matter....really?  Correct, Incorrect, Murder, Accident.  It’s all the same. :: starts to yell :: OPS: No matter what you do your still a murderer!!
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
FCO: looks like you are scared to take a risk to save your crew, sir ::turns around and walks to the other side of the room::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::sighs as he continues staring at the ceiling::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay steps back from Kamarov and wonders if everyone on the senior staff is passive-aggressive:: EO: You think I want to be the one to spill blood for something I know nothing about?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: We can't intervene....... our first rule is the prime directive that is our code of honour it.
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he grins widely, as if reveling in his tale-weaving:: XO: Then allow me to tell your of NODAM. ::he takes a quick seat, running his fingers over the covered trays:: It is an Artificial Intelligence, but...how can I put this...it is more than that. They told you of the organic components within it, right? ::he nods, not waiting for an answer::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
XO: That "Organic Compound" was the brain of the most intelligent man on the planet...who also happened to be a criminally insane murderer. "It's 90% machine", they said. "Attitudes cannot be integrated into an artificial intelligence" ::he chuckles rather cruelly::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::catches the last words of the FCO but he just shrugs it off:: self: well lets all stay here for the rest of our lives because we have to honor the prime directive ::shakes his head::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Looks at Tarus and listens to him::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard turns to Gamil and realizes as she begins to speak out of turn:: Tarus: That's untrue - Starfleet records document multiple cases where artificial intelligence has expressed opinions, attitudes and "feeling..."
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: kicks over a chair and moves away from the party...mumbling to himself as he clenches his fist. ::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns and smiles to the young officer:: OPS: Quite correct. Which means, ladies and gentlemen...NODAM isn't just an AI, it's a malicious, cruel AI...
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
Tarus: How old is this system...?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::watches and listens her mind remembering those general orders there has to be a way to manipulate them here::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
OPS: NODAM has been around for centuries; slowly growing...the Artificial Intelligence side has only been integrated these past 22 years. They plan to make some changes soon, too...hook everyone up by their cerebral cortex; allow NODAM unfettered access to the Populace itself.
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns to look at Alaria for a moment and then turns back:: All: Which is why we need to destroy it...
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She glances between the obviously irate Ensign Kamarov, the passive-aggressive K'Nargh and Kerak, and her commanding officer at the time, Commander Janan::
Alaria says:
::nods slowly underneath the dark cover of her hood::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::picks up a few pieces of broken med tricorder and fiddles about with the pieces::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Tarus: And none of this was planned for when NODAM was introduced to your culture? If not what were the aims of such a system?
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
Tarus: Why not just take the easy way out and kill you........it will get us home and it will be the easiest way to get us home ::has an evil grin on his face::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he taps the Nodule above his eye:: XO: Nothing more than a data-retrieval and output system. Ullren had bigger, better ideas though...he wanted NODAM to start running everything. It controls almost 95% of all electronic and mechanical systems on the entire planet
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
TO: What about the people of this planet?
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns to the TO:: Very well...if you want to kill me, go ahead ::he takes the lid off one of the trays, revealing the crews phasers::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
OPS: They have been living this way for many years......
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks a little disappointed this is not quite the answer she wanted to hear, though not altogether bad::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: leans against the wall...not really paying attention to the discussion....humming softly to himself as he closes his eyes. ::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::Looks at the phasers and then to the TO::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
TO: Would you like to be hooked up to that system? ::She motions towards Tarus and the nodule that's almost built into his skull::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::has the urge to grab his phaser and take a shot at Tarus but withholds himself:: Tarus: I said that would be the easiest way out.......All I want to know is if how do you plan on getting us back to our ship if we do help you ::turns to the ops:: OPS: that’s they way they live, that’s not for us to judge
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he stands up again:: All: I can't promise you a way out...but I can promise you a chance to speak with NODAM. Help us enter the complex, and you can ask it how to get your home...
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
TO: We have to make some sort of judgment call if we're going to get out of here...XO: Commander - you have to agree with that...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: I say we sit here and wait for something to happen. We can't aid the rebels or Ullren.
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::mumbles something about shoddy Starfleet technology and drops the tricorder pieces::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
All: Either way, NODAM gets destroyed in 4 hours. Kill me, and the attack goes ahead as planned anyway...Join me, and I give you at least a fighting chance. Do nothing...::he shrugs::...You have your equipment, weapons...get out of the city, find a way back yourselves. After that it matters no to me
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
Tarus: and if it can't get us home? Then it would be a lost cause for us....::takes his phaser off the tray, rubs it in his arms and thinks::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: I choose for the latter. That  is the right way. We have to uphold the Prime directive!
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay steps forward and grabs two phasers. She places the first one into her holster on her belt - the other one she tosses into the air towards Captain Black, hoping that he and Commander Janan will make a decision soon::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::gets up and walks over to the grouping::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods and motions for a moment as she approaches the CO::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::turns around in anger:: FCO: What prime directive, we don’t even know where we are, who knows if they even know what the federation is.....there is no prime directive ::throws his phaser across the room in anger::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: sees the phaser and sighs....walking up to the tray and making to grab for his ::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns to Alaria and whispers quietly:: Alaria: What if they don't help us...?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
All: Sod the prime directive, its not like the Federation even exists in this wherever we are, so therefore there is no damn prime directive... ::mumbles something about the bloody federation::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: We are the federation, if we throw away the Prime directive then believe me you don't want to go home!
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
CMO: Does that mean we can abandon our morals?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::looks tired and run down, he has rings around his eyes and just looks out of shape::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
OPS: Morals? ::starts laughing::
Alaria says:
::turns to him:: Tarus: They I’ll help us...this captain of theirs will see the reasons here, I doubt Ullren would let them go, they are worth much to him...and they hunger for freedom, we'll at least get them through the walls, their minds are more likely to turn towards us if we give them freedom.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
Self: Hhmm....  XO: Commander...we seem to have a decision to make here... ::sighs::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Still laughing he walks back over to his bed and lays down, laughing all the way::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::storms up to the FCO:: FCO: We are not the federation here, we are prisoners stuck on some weird planet trying to find our way home
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he nods slowly:: Alaria: We need them...Our chances of succeeding without their equipment and expertise is minimal, at best. We cannot get through with force alone...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: takes the phaser in his hand and looks at it closely...looking around at everyone.::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She looks stern at the doctor:: CMO: What? Do Zaldan's not have a conscience? You have to have some way to distinguish between right and wrong...what is right in this case?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: We are full representatives of the federation, ergo we keep to the code, Ensign!
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: CO: It seems we can only proceed by breaking our prime directive. Neither side have guaranteed us our return to the Scimitar perhaps we would be wise to take our own side in all this?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::starts singing some vulgar song he learnt when he was young::
Alaria says:
Tarus: I think we have a good chance here, I doubt very highly they will side with our enemy, we now fight only the choice of neutrality...but hush, we must remain undiscovered...give them a moment to decide, I have faith in this Captain Black
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
FCO: Even if you go with the Rebel that’s still against the prime directive, SIR, the federation rules don’t count here, there is no federation here, we are on our own
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he nods again before stepping away and looking back at the crew::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: the rules are the only thing we have so we keep to them and that's final.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: My thinking, Commander...  it seems that helping either side would be against the Prime Directive....  and I do have enough information to make a solid analysis of which side would be considered right and which one would be considered "wrong".... ::sighs::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
FCO: Where do you see the rules here, there are no rules as of now, we are on our own, no federation to come and help us. Its us against them
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: You want to break the Prime directive fine with me it's your career if we ever get back
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks long and hard at Tarus...his hand still holding the phaser as he stares at him. ::
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
FCO: You are just a coward sir, the rules won't save you, there is no rules ::steps away from the FCO and goes to retrieve his phaser::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::the singing gets louder and more vulgar::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
<Guards> ::they watch the EO very closely as he eyes their leader, fingering their weapons slowly::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::stops singing and laughs::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: I should also point out what we risk, if we do not escape from here and are plugged into this machine, it will no doubt gain all the information we each have of the federation with no way for us to notify the federation of this event.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
TO: rather a coward with a clean conscience then a man who will be haunted by the stupid mistake he made in his past
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
FCO: As if we haven't all made mistakes Commander - it just becomes a question of which were justified...::She can feel the tension getting to her::
Alaria says:
Tarus: I'm worried for their doctor, I don't think he's doing so well...they will need to go home soon...perhaps you should enlighten them to this fact, at least we can provide some sort of reasonable timeline, Ullren will just hold them until they bend to his will.
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::turns around:: FCO: I’m not scared to sacrifice that in order to save our crew
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::starts singing another song::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Oh aye, but I'm not going to pass the PD TO: Then you know what to do, lieutenant ::nods to tarsus::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he nods yet again, more slowly this time, before turning back to the crew:: All: By the looks of your singing friend over there...I'm guessing that you have little time until you need to return home. While we cannot offer our guarantee, we can offer you something. Ullren will not.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the FCO::  FCO: Commander, join us for a moment....  ::gestures towards him and the XO::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::puts the phaser in his holster....his eyes looking right into Tarus's eyes:: Tarus: How do we know we can trust you..
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:;walks to the CO:: CO: Aye, sir
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles as the FCO approaches::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
Tarus: ...and that would be?
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns his head to the EO:: EO: You don't. You only have my word. ::swiveling his head to Pollard he smiles softly:: A chance. We can offer you a chance, if nothing else.
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She looks a little skeptical and glances at Kamarov and K'Nargh:: Tarus: ...and what sort of chance would that be, Mr. Gamil?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
Sings out loud: Not of this world, and nothing bites like I dooooo! ::starts laughing again::
Alaria says:
::whispers quietly:: Tarus: Perhaps we should be moving, we do not want to arise suspicion, we are too close...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Commander.... Commander Janan and I where just discussing the options at hand...
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
OPS: We can give you time to speak with NODAM, just what Ullren was offering you...But with a more limited time frame. ::he looks at Alaria and nods again::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Only one option and that is sit and wait. We can't intervene
TO_LtJG_K`Nargh says:
::picks up his phaser, looks at it and notices nothing was broken, he then looks at Tarus then back at his phaser::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
All: We must leave, suspicion will be aroused if we stay too long ::he pulls up the hood of his cloak:: Join us, and we'll take you to our hideout...Decline, and you can go free, make what livings you can here
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She glances between the slightly deteriorating Doctor and Kamarov:: EO: Do you think we could access the NODAM memory systems, perhaps get information on how to get home?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO / XO: Do we know the location of NODAM ?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::shrugs:: Tarus: Have you  not considered an invasive virus to eliminate the malignant personality but leaving the main programming intact?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: The Rebel guy knows
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks to the FCO in agreement knowing very little about it::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
EO: NODAM can reprogram the human DNA structure to defeat biological viruses and diseases. It wont be stopped by something as simple as a piece of code.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::chuckles:: Tarus: An old Russian wise man once said, "The more complicated the pluming, the easier it is to stop up the pipes."
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he smiles softly:: EO: A Naturian dictator once said "Leave proverbs at home with the wise men"
Alaria says:
::turns towards the door and signals for the guards to ready their escape:: Tarus: This is useless, they will merely become fodder for Ullren...or worse perhaps new specimens for his experiments...it is their wish
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
FCO/CO: Do we know of any defenses this NODAM can't be easy to reach?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO / XO: Commanders... I suggest we go for own way.... use our tricorders to pinpoint the location of NODAM and for our own luck in this case....
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at Black:: CO: we are going to aid the rebels ain't we?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
Tarus: Wisdom left behind is Foolishness brought with you.
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
Sings out loud: And I know I'm saying goodbyeeeee, and I know that I'm going down to dieeeeeeee ::giggles::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
EO: An expandable program should do the trick - the more the program builds, the more resources NODAM would need to direct to destroying the programming. It would give us time to remove the additional "personality."
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
FCO: I think we are going to help ourselves rather then any other party? ::turns to the CO:: CO: Did I understand correctly Sir?
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
Alaria: I know....::he sighs and picks up one of the tricorders, inputting a map of the city and the location of where the rebels can be contacted, and of where NODAM can be found before handing it to the CO:: CO: We must go. You have four hours to talk to NODAM, get out of the city, or contact us...Good luck to you, Captain Black
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
::he turns and follows Alaria and the Guards out, leaving the door open behind them:: All: I would suggest you hurry, the real guards will be here soon...::he walks away::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the XO::  FCO/XO: You understood correctly...   ::nods at Gamil::  Gamil: Thank you, Sir....  we will keep it in mind....  ::nods politely::
Alaria says:
::pulls back her hood for a moment:: All: Your only hope is to come with us if you have any wish to return home, please remember, Ullren brought you here, he would not do this if he were to let you go so easily...but please, do not remain here, for the sake of your lives and what you would make of them.
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard turns and nods to Alaria and Gamil once, then turns back towards Black:: CO: Looks like the decision has been made...shall we proceed?
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
Sings : my heart better leave whilst my song still calls... its the truth that I'm going down... to die!
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: sighs....walking to the door..:: ALL: This place is boring...lets go find something to blow up already, Da?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
ALL:  Can somebody sedate the CMO!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Laughs::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She checks that her phaser is in it's holster, and pulls out her tricorder, beginning to map the area around their cell:: EO: Aye, let us go...::She moves towards the door::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I say we split up. one team will make as much damage as possible while the other goes and find NODAM.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the FCO::  FCO: If you are willing to carry him... ok with me... ::smiles::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives Alaria a curious look as she leaves::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
FCO: Negative... we are in a hazardous situation as it is... I need everyone in my sight if we're going to maneuver through the Prime Directive....
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard turns around and with her tricorder in hand - she is tempted to crack it over Kerak's head:: CMO: Doctor Kerak...Doctor, come with me...I know a grand hall for you to sing in.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
All: Everyone suit up....where heading our way....
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
Sings: I wanna be the god who dies upon the fires, of infamy
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
OPS: Hall?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::grabs his phaser and tricorder and checks his stuff:: CO: You need a distraction and you got Lieutenant Commander John Exeter............ The Biggest distraction our side of the Alpha quadrant
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
CMO: Yes, this way...::She heads out into the corridor, armed and with her tricorder in hand::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::hears the FCO's words and sighs:: Self: Here we go again.  One shot EO coming up.
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: Alarms begin to sound throughout the complex, and standard-issue red light flash at random intervals
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Gets up and smiles:: All the masses will worship me as their god... ::walks out of the door::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::grins::  FCO: Take the rear, Commander... I'll take point...  ::grabs his phaser and heads out::  All: Let's go... quickly...
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Leans against a wall singing::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the CMO: CO: I think we have a better distraction ::points at the doc::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to the CO and looks shocked by the noise of the alarms before reaching toward the CMO::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: The crew appear on a curved corridor, leading right into a large foyer of sorts...with an exit...and five guards yelling something along the lines of "Get Them!"
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::nods at the Captain and follows:: ALL: Once more into the breach my friends.
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::As the sirens begin to blast, Lindsay rushes off in the direction that the map points. She grabs Kerak's arm and begins pulling him along with the group::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::Gets dragged along, singing about being a god::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::standing in the rear and takes aim:: ALL: Aim for the gizmo's on their heads!
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
All: Phasers at stun only !  ::pushes forward::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard releases the Doctor and pulls out her phaser - she takes aim and fires at one of the guard's nodules. The first shot misses and she curses, taking cover::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: The guards take cover behind potted plants and begin firing at the crew, blasts of phased energy striking the walls and floors around them
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: cries out with a grin on his face. :: ALL: Remember the Kremlin!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
Sings: And know that war is the will of the Gods, Bringer of death! Bringer of deaaath!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
::stumbles around the hallway thing::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::takes out her phaser and drags the Doctor out of the way before firing on one at the guards at the same time raising her voice in a firm tone:: CMO: Don't go anywhere yet.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Takes cover and grins:: CO: Brian, dash and hit. We dash towards them and shoot them up close!
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay ducks behind a corner just as an energy shot strikes the wall. She leans out and fires several phaser shots at one of the guards::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
XO: The masses are waiting for me, let me go!
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Could use screwy as cover:: nods to the CMO:: who will shoot a loony
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: Janan's shot is extremely lucky, striking the Guards nodule. In a burst of energy it explodes, the guard shudders violently and drops to the ground...smelling of charred brain.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::takes cover by a nearby wall ....taking every opportunity to let loose with a few shots from his phaser::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the FCO::  FCO: Aye....  ::rushes forward and fires at one of the guards::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::holds him while she waits for a moment and then turns to him with some quick words:: CMO: Now we can move. ::takes her shot grabs the doctor towards the door with her::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Most of Lindsay's shots are ineffective and do not hit the guards - however they lay good cover fire for Black and Exeter:: Outloud: Go!
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: Two more guards drop from the crew's phaser fire
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Rushes towards the guards firing and yelling:: ALL: I"m gonna die and taking one of you buggers with me!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
FCO: I'm no Looney! Don't make me relieve you of duty... ::laughs::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: One of the guards ruches forward, pulling a baton from his belt as he closes to melee range with Exeter
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::heading out with the CMO and with a calmer voice:: CMO: We're getting there now for you. ::shakes her head not even going to try to deny his temporary issues::
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Lindsay holsters her tricorder and rushes out from her cover, dashing over towards Kamarov. She lets out several shots, aiming for the guard near Exeter::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Fires at the guard from  point blank range::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
::sees the guard approaching Exeter and makes a flying tackle....knocking him to the ground::
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
XO: Good good, you are a fine servant you know. I should give you a pay rise ::giggles::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: With a shocked look on his face, the guard flies back at least 20 feet, hit by shots from both Exeter and Pollard. He lands on the ground, charred and dead
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::stops and looks around:: Guards: Who's next!
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: The one remaining guard runs away very fast, dropping his weapon and leaving the exit unguarded
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::She cringes at the charred guard and is quite glad that she didn't hit Ensign Kamarov. She rushes over to him quickly:: EO: Ensign, are you alright?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::approaches the exit and quickly gestures everyone to head through it::  All: Come on people.... move it !
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the running guard:: ALL: Damn I'm good!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
All: Let us go, the people await us ::he points at the door and walks towards it::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::rolls her eyes and turns back to the proceedings seeing the guard leave she follows the CO's instructions still walking with the CMO::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: The door opens, letting the crew out into an open courtyard. The buildings offer ample cover for a getaway
OPS_LtJG_Pollard says:
::Pollard holsters her phaser once more and pulls out her tricorder, taking as many scans as she can - rushing out of the complex and out with the rest of the crew::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks around and shakes his head:: CO: Brian, we are snipers delight out their!
CMO_Ens_Kerak says:
All: I am god and am above grammar! ::strolls out into the open::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: Can't I really shoot him?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles and shakes her head to the FCO::
Host Tarus_Gamil says:
ACTION: As the crew rush away, the complex they left behind comes under lockdown. The city is open before them; in the afternoon light it looks almost beautiful...except for a large compound overlooking it all, high above on top of a cliff. NODAM must reside here...and perhaps it will be the crew's next destination?
