Summary:
So perhaps everything hasn't gone 100% according to plan...
Operation: Destiny has gone into full swing, and Fleet Captain Black has been successful in disabling much of the Airilian military resistance in space. Lt. Commander MacAllister's team in the Airilian Facility has successfully located their Starfleet Intelligence mole...and the duo of Pierce and Ilianor have, well...got along fairly badly...
The U.S.S. Winterlust has been destroyed - the exact details of the Airilian weapon are still only known to Lt. Commander Steinthorson, the Starfleet agent.
Now we join Commander Janan and her crew as they prepare to disable the weapon, retrieve it and fight their way home...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Walks out the turbolift onto the bridge, looking around to see who is there::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::Following the SFI tech down the corridors hoping he knows where we're going::

ACTION - The power generating station rocks violently and the sound of tearing metal can be heard in the distance as one of the station's generating stations overloads. Flames fill the depths of the facility and smoke washes over Pierce and Ilianor.

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Tabs the CTO on his shoulder:: CTO: What about those suits, should we take them with us?

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
All: Report.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Looks at the console in front of him, trying to figure out how to disable the power output::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#CMO: Good point.......... SFI: Should we grab some of these suits?

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:;Walks up to his chair, looks at Major, and clears his throat loudly.::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::STILL in the power generator facility, as he waits for the system to reset itself, as the room begins to fill with a thick smoke:: Engineers: Someone take out that fire!

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He looks up from his display to see Lt. Commander Lessing and nods, going back to the Executive Officers display::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Looks around::  CTO: It might not be a bad idea... will help blend in...

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Looks up as he gets tossed about... finally some results::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the XO and nods at him::  XO: Welcome back, Commander...  ::glances at the view screen::  Majors: Status report on our progress, Lieutenant ?

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::turns and nods to the team to grab the uniforms and put them on before proceeding further before grabbing one himself::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks a little worries:: SFI: Those messy ones, do they have a specific reason why they are covered in that.... well.... goo?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::heading straight towards the entrance:: FCO: I hope you haven't run out of fight ::smiles to him:: Looks like there is a long way to go and with Black unsure of any reinforcements from the Airilians, it's probably a hint for us to speed up.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Face deadpan::  CMO: It's nothing.

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He glances to the display and then over at Black, not responding to Lessing's sound:: CIV: All three capital vessels have been disabled. Defensive platforms offline. We're still encountering heavy fighter resistance, but nothing we can't handle, sir...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: One of the generators is beginning to overload... if we don't disable the power to this facility, it's likely the destruction of this entire building will do it...!

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@CO: Aye-Aye, Sir. You ever seen an Exeter run out of energy to get himself killed?

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Takes on of the messy ones, since he is already covered with it and tries hard to put it on right:: Self: I will regret this one day.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Major: Would you mind finding another seat, Lieutenant?  I've become rather attached to mine....

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::finishes donning his new suit:: SFI: So how much do you know about this "weapon"?

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: Well, I’ll settle for that. Disabled is disabled. As long as it doesn't blow up in our face..

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors looks up at Lessing and then over towards Black. The ship rocks once more with weapons fire and he sighs, stands and moves over to the unoccupied Operations terminal::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: There isn't much to know right now.  I'm a lowly technician, I don't have access to science or technical scans.  But it's not proper to call it a weapon.  ::Leads the way down into the bowels of the station::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Majors: Excellent... we might take advantage of this situation... see if you can tap into their computers and get some intel from them....

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::chuckles and shakes her head:: FCO: Not yet although it'd be nice to see us get out of this too, after all I still need to get cleaned up.

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::As he sits, Brody nods, and his thick accent can be heard:: CIV: Aye sir...working on it...

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Takes out his tricorder and tries to keep it as concealed as he can, still scanning his surroundings::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: You see, it's more of a focusing device.  Like the dilithium in a warp core.  It doesn't create the energy, but focuses it, makes it more potent.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: We're almost there. If the generator overload can be controlled and a cascade overload can be prevented, we'll be able to get this done... ::he covers his mouth reflexively as the smoke begins to take over:: ... But we almost have full access, just a bit longer...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Majors: Thank you.  CIV: Now, Captain.  What needs doing?

ACTION - The new suits are rather disgusting...for what the Starfleet team does not realize, is that only a few moments ago the suits they are now wearing were once occupied...and the black tar like substance is all that remains of their former occupants...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::checks the tricorder again curiously::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: I see, and where does the energy come from that this thing focuses?

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Impatiently waits until the computer is reset, looking around at the men, assessing them as they do their jobs:: EO: right

ACTION - As Commander Janan reaches the top of the massive ziggurat, a Starfleet Security officer tackles her...a white blast of Airilian weapons fire hits the point where she was once standing as automated weapons turrets open fire on Janan and her team...

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: With the Lieutenant busy with gathering intel I'd like you to keep track of our forces and keep updated on our progress disabling remaining fighters and keeping track of any incoming reinforcements...

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@CO: Well, I tend to aim low and grim in these kinds of missions. 

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: The current system is using power generated here on the planet.  But development is underway to create a portable delivery system - capable of flight into a star.  This thing could easily cease the fusion inside of a stellar body.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Very well.  ::Bring up the display on his console and studies it for a moment::

ACTION - The power generating station rocks once more and the stone around the facility seems to quake...

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Ouch. Not the sort of thing we really want in the hands of the enemy then. ::grins::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@ ::flung aside by a security officer unsure whether to thank them or curse them, she grabs for her phaser::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Tries to stay focused on the tricorder readings as the CTO and SFI talk about all the techno stuff on the weapon.:: SFI: Sir, one question though. Exactly how portable is the unit we're supposed to retrieve here?

ACTION - One of the unusual Airilian displays lights up in the power station - none of the team really knows what it means...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: The Winterlust has been destroyed, the Dynasty is heavily damaged, as is the Savona.  It looks like 75% of the Dynasty's saucer section is gone.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::turns around quickly and takes a quick glance around, first at the men who are trying to control the overloaded generator, and then the other engineers who are working with him to reset the controls, as the station rocks again...:: Self: Oh for God's sake, what idiot would build a power generating facility atop such an unstable place?

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CMO: About a decimeter, spherical.  Shouldn't be difficult to carry out... we just need to get to it, and get out of here with it.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: I don't know, but this place is getting a bit shaky...we should take care not to blow ourselves into the sky here..

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::stands from his chair and slowly walks towards the viewscreen, looking at the taskforce taking care of the remaining vessels. He nods in agreement with what he sees::  XO: Understood...  as a precaution, have our remaining fighter squadrons defend the Dynasty and Savona from any further attacks... we may have to abandon them completely and transfer the crews to other operational vessels.

ACTION - The lighting in the Airilian facility shifts to purple...

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::taking cover and whistling and setting his phasers to max and taking shots now and then::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Just a bit longer, for God's sake! ::he continues to manually reset the system, circuit by circuit... without really knowing how close or how far he's actually getting....!::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Curses as they begin to climb down::  #CTO/CMO: That's a warning light.  Five minutes until the next test.  We either need to reach it and get the focuser out... or find shelter.  If we're not shielded from the blast...

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Scratches his chin slightly and thinks to himself:: Self: Isn't that small spherical thing already portable enough by itself? Just glad I'm the medic here, not some engineer.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::looks at the doors, and continues quickly, watching the turrets and aiming for one as she proceeds::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Agreed.  :;Relays the message to the Scimitar's fighters::

ACTION - A blue light shows up on Ilianor's console - the power transfer system has successfully been reset...he thinks...

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: We'll try to hold here as long as possible, but we've got to think about the safety of these men as well... You seem to be getting along better than I am... either that or you have more luck ::smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Which is closer? The focuser or the shelter?

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@::not looking at all and dashing towards the doors. Just firing his phaser in the general direction of the turrets::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: We're about three levels from the weapon yet... there are shielded areas on every level, but will be occupied.  We may be able to sneak in and stay out of the way.

ACTION - The Scimitar rocks as three more blasts hit the ships ventral shielding. A wing of Airilian fighters arc past the viewscreen, with Kriss squadron in hot pursuit.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Got it! I think... maybe. Okay, I think the system's been reset... I'm going to try to shut down the power to... well, what I imagine to be the main testing facility, being as that's where the bulk of the power seems to be going... just... just make sure the damned building doesn't explode on us.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances to the back of the bridge at Majors::  Majors: How are you coming along, Lieutenant ?

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::Majors nods once, almost to himself:: Black: I think I may have access to their primary database, checking for information on the star...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::takes a look around the controls, and tries to shut down the main facility... but he's not even sure if he's in...::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Shelter it is then......... ALL: Blend in guys, can't let them find us out, don't speak to anyone.

ACTION - As Exeter rushes towards the doorway, he sees a blast of white energy tear out from one of the turrets. The blast strikes him in the leg and Janan's team can smell burning flesh...

SFI_Tech_Har says:
::Drops from the ladder::  #CTO: This way.  ::Motions with his arm towards the left.  Sounds can be heard - many footsteps::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks at the CTO:: CTO: Perhaps I can get a crash course in those sign languages, or is it best to stay on watch near here somewhere?

ACTION - Jim Exeter falls to the ground, the flesh on his left leg melting in with his Starfleet uniform.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Majors: Excellent... keep me updated.   XO: Commander, you could also scan the base on the surface and see if you can identify if there is more then one power center down there...

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::Drops to the ground:: ALL: <Insert rude words and curses>

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Aye Sir.  ::Starts the scans:: Majours: Do we have any more power to spare for shields, we're taking quite a beating here, now that we're the main target.

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#CMO: If you think you can learn what you need without arousing suspicion then do it, just be very careful.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: Working on it ::Taps away on his console, trying to figure out how to stabilize this thing while instructing the men:: Engineers: I want 10 men down here, the rest go topside. When this thing goes, we won't have time for 2 elevator rides

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
XO: Working on it. ::He rolls in his chair over to another display along the L-shaped control console. He begins a power transfer as the ship rocks once more::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::feels a sudden emotion from Exeter, she turns and smells the flesh, curses and drops down to get him, signaling a security officer to help, to the rest of the team:: Sec_Team: We need through those doors.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@CO: You better get going, I can hold my ground :: Grins, this numb feeling rather feels odd yet funny::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Majors: Thanks, Lieutenant.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: It'll take four minutes... once the facility's shut down, I imagine Airilian security will be descending upon this facility immediately... you better make sure your rifle's working.

ACTION - The Security team nods at Janan's command and four officers leap up, taking out the turrets with perfect shots. They rush into the access hatch on the roof, and quickly dispense of a half dozen Airilian guards inside. "All clear!" they declare loudly from inside.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::With a final glance around, Har joins the migrating station personnel and hopes the two officers know to keep up::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Nods to the CTO in understanding and puts his thumbs up to make it more clear::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@ALL: Could somebody tell me whose holding a BBQ in the middle of the jungle ::laughs::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::keeps himself in balance while watching the viewscreen, grumbling slightly, then returning to his chair and console tapping a few buttons to divide the viewscreen in live feeds and tactical overview of the fleet::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Checks his phaser and his six-shooter:: EO: Yep, both are working just fine. Besides with 20 men up there they'll have a nice welcoming committee waiting for them

ACTION - The Engineers respond and begin to move to the upper levels of the power station, wading through the thick smoke...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$~~~CO: Captain, I have a brief update. Power to the main testing facility will be shut down within four minutes. In the meantime, we are preparing to evacuate the power generator immediately upon shutdown, sir.~~~

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::follows the SFI's lead::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Gets up and follows the SFI, keeping an observing eye on the others in the area::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Right. 20 combat engineers. ::continues monitoring his display::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Captain, the scans you requested are on your console.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@ FCO: Are you able to hold out inside for a while? From there the Scimitar can bring you back onboard.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: There does not appear to be any other power generation site, Captain.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: With 20 people firing you don't have to be Wyatt Earp... Besides... i'm sure you have some surprises for the Airilians as well.. I saw you fiddling with the lock up there

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@CO: Just get going, we need to complete this mission, now move Captain or I'll turn this phaser the other way around! 

ACTION - Lt. Commander Steinthorson leads the team into a small "secure" facility. The chamber is basically a large open, shielded area...filled with lots and lots of Airilians and Morachs...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@~~~ EO: Thank you, the sooner the better, Captain Black has reported the loss of one ship in the fleet following the last weapons discharge, keep me updated. ~~~

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Who? ... Whatever. The lock isn't going to help us very much, I think, if the Airilians assault this facility.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Ducks off to the side, and makes sure to grab the Scimitar officers as they pass in.  In a low voice::  #CTO/CMO: It should be any moment now.  Once the all clear sounds, we're going to blend into the crown and just head down the remaining levels.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::looks to the Security team again and shakes her head at Exeter, checks his vitals with the tricorder to see how stable he is before speaking::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: Excellent...  ::takes a quick look at the readings himself before tapping his commbadge::  *CO*: Black to Janan... come in please...

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks around and starts to feel sweat flow at very unpleasant spots, seeing all the Airilians. He nods to the SFI in understanding again.::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::nods in understanding to the SFI tech and casts his eye around the area::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@*CIV*: Janan here! ::her tone sharper then usual, as she thinks 'any time but now'::

ACTION - In unison Ilianor and Pierce hear three very loud beep sounds. Half a second later, four automated weapon turrets drop down from the roof, and begin opening fire on the team...

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@::Get his rifle and aims it towards the CO:: CO: I said move it, we got a whole fleet counting on us up there, ma'am. 

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Sees the turrets come down and jumps to the EO pushing him out of the way:: Engineers: Get down!! ::Takes his phaser and starts shooting at the turrets::

ACTION - Two minutes left until the test fire...one minute until power-down...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::curses really loudly, as he scrambles for cover... peering over, he takes a peek around:: SO: What's happening? ::his eyes rest on the weapons turrets, and he starts firing at the turrets... somewhat forgetting the fact that the turrets could easily hit him as well as he tried to hit those...::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::hears the tone of Janan and shakes his head::  *CO*: Commander, good news... scans from the Scimitar have confirmed that there is only one central power source in the base...  we detect no secondary units or backups.

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Captain, I am not detecting any inbound Airilian reinforcements

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::quietly:: CMO: How are you getting on?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::glares at him:: FCO: Point that thing elsewhere or you'll be lying out here unconscious! ::turns to the security team as she heads for the door:: Sec_Team: Ten of you here we need an exit, the rest, this way ::motions for the door::

ACTION - Ilianor's blast is perfect and he takes out on of the turrets. Three Combat Engineers fall from the white blasts of energy.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods at the XO::  XO: Excellent... we can't use any interference until we're down here...  ::smiles faintly::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$:: Ducks under the console for cover while he continues firing, aiming for the targeting sensors::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@CO: As long as you complete the freaking Mission, ma'am!

ACTION - The security team responds to Janan without question - gotta love those over-trained military men and women...

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Whispers as softly as he can:: CTO: You don't want to know. Lucky this tar stuff smells worse then my own sweat. ::Smiles nervously::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: "Until we're down there?"  You planning on going somewhere?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@*CIV*: Thank you ETA is less then 4 minutes for Atwood's team.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::to Exeter and the security officers left:: FCO/Sec: Good luck. ::goes into the facility::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::With one hand he takes his six shooter and shoots with 2 weapons at the closest turret::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::whispers:: CMO: Well just try and stay calm. I know this is your first time under deep cover and you're doing great.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
*CO*: Understood....

ACTION - The lighting in the Airilian facility shifts to green...which is rather odd, Har doesn't remember a green color. Then, without warning, the lights go out...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::watches as one of the turrets shuts down in an orgy of sparks, as he moves onto another, not noticing the engineers that were hit... he quickly ducks, as one of the turrets seems to aim for him... peering back upwards, he continues firing...::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Nods and his eyes seem to sparkle for a moment as he whispers:: CTO: Thanks, I need that. Just let me know when I screwed up too, okay?

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: What happened?

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: I meant "done here" as in finished...   besides that, I want those returning shuttles to be able to land in the shuttlebay immediately upon their arrival...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Acknowledged.

ACTION - Without even waiting for orders, the security team with Abmeraz and MacAllister do as they are trained to - kill. Before the Scimitar crew can react, the sound of moving blades can be heard. Hacking and rending can be heard...and more goo splatters upon Ethan's face in the dark...

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Looking around::  CMO/CTO: I'm... not certain.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
~~~ EO: News from Scimitar confirms that you are at the only generator on the planet. ~~~

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: This hasn't happened before?

ACTION - Zoran Abmeraz, Ethan MacAllister and Christopher Steinthorson stand alone in the dark, unmoving...as the security team hack the Airilians to pieces...perfect, unwavering...deadly...

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::He runs from cover to cover, trying to reach the men that have been hit::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@::using a wall as back rest, Jim tries to sit up:: self: join Starfleet they said see the galaxy they said! Well, there was nothing about getting a numb freaking left leg. 

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::has a rough idea what direction she wants to be going, but that's about all::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::His jaw opens to a certain point as he now starts to realize where the goo on his suit comes from. Perhaps if someone looked at him, they could actually see him turn very green::

ACTION - As the weapons exchange in the power facility comes to an end, Adahn's last blast takes out the final turret...silence falls over the team as they notice the sound of the primary generators has stopped...

ACTION - In the shielded room deep within the Airilian facility MacAllister can hear "All clear" in the deep shadows.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::As the last turret is hit, he runs over to the men that were hit and looks where they're hit::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::he slowly stands up, as the firing stops... he looks around, at the SO, and then at the dead engineers, and the live ones... as his eyes fall on the equipment, and his ears on the lack of activity from the generators...:: SO: Okay, that's our cue, let's go!

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::looks at Majors::  Majors: Lieutenant... how're we doing on getting that Intel ?

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: This is just the opportunity we need, let's get to the focuser.

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CIV: Accessing...::He brings up his information on the viewscreen, and the crew can see the specs for "The Star of Destiny." The object looks rather unusual, a crystal like shape encased in a metal sphere...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::not impressed with the dark, this has to be the Atwood's doing, she taps her comm. badge:: *CTO*: Your Status?

ACTION - The security personnel with Janan usher her along quickly in the darkness...they don't use wrist lights at all...

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  Majors: Interesting...  this could help us....  ::smiles faintly::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Yes.  It could help a lot.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::1 of the 3 engineers still breathing.. ::EO: Let's get out of here ::Points at the remaining engineers:: Engineers: Come over here, carry these 2 into the elevator and move topside. I'll join you shortly ::Returns his attention to the wounded engineer... seeing that even the CMO wouldn't be able to help her and tries to comfort her.

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#*CO*: The power's out down here, we're on our way to get the weapon.

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
::He nods, but and closes the display. His finger wavers over a command and he nods to himself, pressing the "Delete" command::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Giving her a shot of morphine while talking to her calmly::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Follows the CTO to the focuser as he tries to forget what he just learned::

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@::has taken to watching the tricorder rather then the phaser as the security seem to be doing great without help::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Pierce! Leave her, in five minutes, if the Airilians have any sense of security protocol whatsoever, the place is going to be swarming with security guards. But we have to go now!

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@:: eying his guards and wondering why they are so silent.::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: How about we destroy these consoles? That should keep them busy for a while, Leave some explosives. I'm NOT leaving her

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::follows Har as he leads the way to the lower levels::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Leading the way down the last level::  CTO/CMO: Just around this corner here is the main lab.  Maintain a... low profile.  Just look like you belong.

ACTION - Ilianor was correct, and over his comm. badge he hears a report from topside, "Incoming Airilian security personnel...ETA, three minutes..."

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::raises his rifle and fires on the consoles, making sure they're *quite* melted... before pointing the rifle at the dying combat engineer:: SO: She has a freaking hole in her chest! She is going to die in twenty seconds; if you want to die as well, be my guest. ::he points to the other combat engineers:: Engineers: You, get out of here, now.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
@ *CTO*: Atwood appears to have been successful, the way out is in order. ::continues with the team in the direction they have indicated::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks around and sees a lot of the big Airilians and thinks to himself again:: Self: Belong, right... look at those big guys over there. At least I think they're guys.

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::turns to the security team:: TEAM: You heard the man, don't do anything to give yourselves away and only kill if you know you can get away with it.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$EO: Just get topside. You can beam up from there I’d reckon. I'll follow ASAP

ACTION - Two different corridors converge in front of the primary laboratory, two different routes carrying two different teams. Both round the corner in front of the lab's blast doors at the same time...

CIV_Capt_Black says:
Majors: Save all the relevant data on the space reserved for Third Fleet Operations and wipe the computer cores of those Airilian Vessels...

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#*CO*: Acknowledged Cap'n, we're just outside the main lab now.

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the XO::  XO: Commander... How're we doing on those remaining Airilian Forces ?

Host Lt_Brody_Majors says:
CIV: On it...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: You are a fool. ::he jumps into the elevator, and turns around... watching the two for another minute... he sets his rifle to kill and fires on the engineer::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#*CO*: I recommend Comms silence, we'll contact you when we have the weapon.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@:: whistling and changing his energy cells of his phasers, waiting for something to happen::

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Seeing the intentions of the EO he pulls her out of the way, taking his six shooter and firing a warning shot at the EO::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Still following the CTO and SFI::

ACTION - The blast strikes the woman in the chest and she seems to have a look of relief on her face as her eyes go white and her soul fades...

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$:EO: get out of here

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Mostly destroyed, or out of action.  There a re a few fighter wings left, but mostly, we're running mop-up operations.

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: I have every intention of doing so. And, it seems, you're getting out of here right now with me.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: We have to get through a heavy set of blast shields.  While not being... questioned.

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Have you been in there before?

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Stands up slowly, aiming his six shooter right at the heart of the EO:: EO: You will pay for that sooner or later. If it's up to me it'll be sooner..

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
#~~~EO: If you objectives are complete Black is anxious for the return of the teams~~~ ::looks across the room:: Mistry Team: Good to see you. ::glances at the newly acquired friend, and nods politely:: SFI: Intel I presume...

ACTION - A large group of Starfleet guards, Janan, Abmeraz, MacAllister and Har all converge onto the blast doors in front of the lab...the clock is ticking...now what?

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: Then fire. But I'll tell you this right now, I just saved your life. Now, let's see, we're about to be attacked by Airilians in, oh, one minute? Half a minute? Get your arse into the damned elevator!

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CTO: A few times.  Grunts are usually sent in to do the dangerous work... but handling the actual weapon is left to the higher ups.... ::Nods to the CO::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::nods to the CO:: Good to see you Captain. Is Exeter not with you?

CIV_Capt_Black says:
XO: Very well...  do we have an ETA on the Dynasty and Savona and whether they are salvageable or not ?

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
::looks at the doors and Intel:: SFI: Do you know any access codes? ::looks to the tricorder accessing the doors::

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::nods to the CO too::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Then we may very well have a fight on our hands........... CO: You want to take over Cap'n?

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Walks slowly to the elevator, still keeping his gun aimed at the EO:: EO: We will get out of here, but don't think I’ll forget what you did...

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$SO: As I said, shoot if you want. But do it IN THE ELEVATOR!

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: The Dynasty is salvageable, but we'll have to tow it.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$::Aims his gun lower, then pulls the trigger as his gun is aimed at the EO's leg::

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#CO: No, but... ::holds out his hand for the tricorder::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  XO: All Right, have the Eridanus take her on tow once we head out...

ACTION - The blast strikes Ilianor's foot, low intensity, but still damn painful. The lift door shuts behind them and the group ride up to the main level...

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
#CTO: Thank you. ::shakes her head noting the abnormal silence from the EO::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: The Savona has taken heavy damage, but is running under her own power.  They’ve lost a lot of crew on both ships.

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@:: Humming and feeling rather hunger:: Self: Hmmmm, target practice would be nice.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
#::gives him the tricorder::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CIV: Aye Sir.  ::Relays the order to the Eridanus.::  Sir, It appears the Dynasty lost her captain during the fighting.

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#::turns to the team to brief them on possible plans of attack::

ACTION - From the top of the ziggurat, Jim Exeter notices something funny. As the emergency back-up generators kick in, a sparkling energy shield crackles as it activates around the Airilian facility - they can no longer beam out...

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Waits patiently for the more experienced officers to devise a plan::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::nods again at the XO::  XO: Contact Echo Squadron and have them beam 3 engineering teams each to said vessels for repair and control...  I don't want to take any chances with them at the moment.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Runs through a series of codes he's observed, using the tricorder to interface directly with the computer, bypassing the touch keys::

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::continues::  XO: Add three medical teams each to that order as well...

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Nods to Black and does so::

EO_LtJG_Ilianor says:
$::wincing, as he collapses to the ground:: SO: Are you crazy, you insane bastard! ::grabbing his rifle, he swings it at the SO's knees::

ACTION - The console in front of Har blinks green, and the blast doors slide open, revealing a large, abandoned, research lab...

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#:: Finds it rather strange that the lab is abandoned:: TEAM: Stay sharp, there could be automatic defenses.

SFI_Tech_Har says:
#::Smiles briefly, and then looks around the lab.  He points::  All: There.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$COM: Scimitar, this is SO Pierce. 22 to beam out

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sits in his seat, reading the rolls of the dead, hoping as always that no-one he knows is on that list.::

FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
@:: Waiting on the rest with his left leg shot to crap and feeling rather bored:: self: I should have stayed on the Scimitar and  be bored there.

SO_LtJG_Pierce says:
$COM: Err... make that 19

CMO_LtJG_Abmeraz says:
#::Looks from a distance into the lab:: SFI: But... there's nobody in there.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
#::looks at the lab and then Har with speculation::

CTO_LtCmdr_MacAllister says:
#SFI: Can you get it?

CIV_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the communication coming in::  COM: Surface: SO: Very well... do you have your locator signals on so we can lock on to you ?  ::glances at the XO and nods for him to start getting a lock::

XO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Surface: Energizing at your command, Lieutenant.

CO_Cmdr_Janan says:
#::Phaser ready she heads towards the direction he points in curiously, wondering what happens when you shoot a weapon::

ACTION - Adahn's phaser rifle contacts with Pierces knee-caps and a loud crack can be heard as his right knee-cap breaks. The Scientist drops to the ground as the lift doors open, with the Engineers watching in shock. At that moment a blue transporter beam locks onto the whole group, beaming them home and away from this chaos...

ACTION - In the center of the laboratory is a glowing yellow sphere. In the dark it looks like a miniature star, glowing with reds and oranges in its depths. The Star of Destiny... charged and ready to go...
