FCO Qwynn says:
:: walks through the door ::  CO:  Captain.

CO von Krieg says:
::looks up, a look of strain crossing his face::

TO T’Rel says:
::is at post::

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: Of course sir, hostile force or infiltration?

CSO Wilks says:
@Guard: Where am I?

XO Starks says:
CIV: that depends on what TRel can tell us from the tac scans....let's get to the bridge

FCO Qwynn says:
:: she looks deeply into his eyes ::

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Mr. Qwynn, I realize that my behavior on the landing party is suspect. I do not expect anyone to believe otherwise.

CO von Krieg says:
::pauses::

XO Starks says:
:: de-activates master display and picks up a couple of pads, then heads to the bridge ::

 CIV Apryus says:

Host Colonel Schenker says:
<Guard> CSO: Lucky to be alive Soldier! We almost scragged you.

FCO Qwynn says:
CO:  Would you explain to me what happened to you, sir?  :: her voice is kind and gentle ::

TO T’Rel says:
::running scans::

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: You need to realize that I did sense another presence.  What happened to you wasn't an illusion, sir.

CO von Krieg says:
::runs his hand through his hair:: FCO: I don't believe that I can.  I suffered a... hallucination.

XO Starks says:
::: while in TL :: CIV: what do you think about the Captain?

CSO Wilks says:
@Guard: Scragged me?

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: I already confronted him, he's being contacted, by what my guess is a telepathic entity, I worry for his judgement,

FCO Qwynn says:
:: reaches for his hand ::  CO: may I?

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: I asked him about putting his command codes on...hold for awhile but he's reluctant, as I would be

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ <Guard> CSO: You gave us the wrong pass code. Had we not seen your uniform, you'd be dead.

XO Starks says:
TL: hold turbo lift

CO von Krieg says:
::draws back:: FCO: I do not need treatment at this time, Lt. I do need someone to monitor me.. in case...

TO T’Rel says:
::begins running another type of scan::

XO Starks says:
CIV: I'm not ready to ask for him to step down....

CSO Wilks says:
@Guard: I'm sorry, am I allowed to go now?

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: In case...

XO Starks says:
CIV: ...but if that time comes I just want to make sure the crew backs my decision.

 CIV Apryus says:
CO: Of course not, I don't suggest it either, just to temporarily but his high order security codes on hold... call it a medical leave, I can sense the crew would be reluctant, but they'll follow you

TO T’Rel says:
::looks up startled by results, double checks them::

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: I snap. ::gestures to the bulkheads:: I will not allow this.. this force to fall into the hands of a madman.

XO Starks says:
CIV: until such time that he endangers himself or the crew, he's still in charge

XO Starks says:
TL: Resume Turbo Lift

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: Of course sir

TO T’Rel says:
*XO* T’Rel to Starks

XO Starks says:
:: entering bridge :: TO: report

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: I understand, sir.  What would you like me to do?

CO von Krieg says:
::looks FCO in the eyes:: FCO: You are my safety net.

TO T’Rel says:
XO: I have found evidence that the Faxians are preparing to launch an attack on the base where CSO Wilks is currently located.

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: If I show any signs of further instability, you are to activate the EMH and consult Commander Starks.

XO Starks says:
:: sits in the hard chair :: TO: how long?

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ <Guard> CSO: The colonel will want to debrief you.. :: keys his communicator::

TO T’Rel says:
XO: 1 hour sir.

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: How am I to know when you feel you've reached the point of instability?

XO Starks says:
CIV: Apryus consult with T’Rel find an infiltration point.. we have less then an hour

CO von Krieg says:
::looks bitter:: FCO: You're a telepath. You always know.  Report to the bridge. dismissed.

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@<Guard> CSO: You'll get them back when your re-assigned to a squad.

CO von Krieg says:

FCO Qwynn says:
*XO* On my way, sir.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: quickens her pace and takes a TL to the bridge ::

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: So do you intend to initiate a hostile rescue effort or infiltration?

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ CSO: I'll ask the questions private!

FCO Qwynn says:
:: arrives on the bridge, a full three hours before her duty shift is scheduled to begin ::

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: sorry sir!

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: I believe that an infiltration would be more effective.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: walks up to the XO ::    XO: Sir.

CO von Krieg says:
::feels very alone as he walks to the turbo lift::

XO Starks says:
FCO: Qwynn, how is the captain?  ::holding a PADD in one hand showing the COM traffic log, and the captain’s request to see the FCO ::

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ CSO: Now where is the rest of your squad? Why did you give an outdated countersign?

FCO Qwynn says:
:: looks up to see who else is on the bridge ::  

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: uhhh... I got separated from my squad two months ago sir

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: Do you have any suggestions on a plan?

FCO Qwynn says:
XO: He is well, sir.

CO von Krieg says:
::the TL whooshes open and he enters:: TL: Bridge.

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: that was the last code I was told

XO Starks says:
FCO: good to hear

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: Perhaps 2 teams, would be best, one to grab Wilks, the other to jam up the works, perhaps create a distraction

FCO Qwynn says:
:: attempts to read the XO's mind ::

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ CSO: Hmmm? Blue squad has been MIA for a week. What about enemy encounters?

XO Starks says:
FCO: sorry to call to so early but we're putting together an Away Team to retrieve Wilks

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: I concur that would be most efficient.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: smiles ::  I see.  Would you like me to cover the bridge, or accompany the away team?

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: we encountered some, that’s when I got separated from the rest of my squad

XO Starks says:
FCO: I'll be on the team so I need you to stay with the ship

TO T’Rel says:
::points to an area of the base where there appears to be little activity.:: CIV: I would suggest this as a beam down site.

FCO Qwynn says:
XO: Yes, sir.  What else do I need to know?

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: Perhaps... but a shuttle landing might be more efficient... I have a few ideas on how to get in efficiently

XO Starks says:
FCO: just that if the AT is compromised your orders are to get the ship out of danger....but you already know that

CO von Krieg says:
::the TL whooshes open, he enters and sees his officers in conference::

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: Indeed. Would you care to explain.

FCO Qwynn says:
XO: Right.  Will do.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: goes to Flight Control and relieves the person on duty.  Sits down and observes the status of the ship ::

CO von Krieg says:
::any signs of vulnerability or indecisiveness have disappeared from his demeanor:: XO: Report, Commander. Have we located Mr. Wilks?

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: A shuttle enters...here ::points::, typical decent pattern, when we reach 2 km above the surface... we begin to vent particles from the nacelles, which will appear as an engine instability on sensors

XO Starks says:
:: stands from the command seat ::

FCO Qwynn says:
*ENG* Engineering, status please.

XO Starks says:
CO: we are scanning the facility that he is being held in sir

CO von Krieg says:
XO: Can we arrange for a beam out?

XO Starks says:
CO: T’Rel and Apryus are working on a rescue plan now sir

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: That would work well as a distraction however if they want to capture us it would be logical to assume that some of us should beam from the shuttle to the surface and not all land in it.

FCO Qwynn says:
:: noting that the Chief Engineer is not on duty, she opens a window on her panel to monitor engineering systems ::

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: Its good to be back among friends, but I’m anxious to get my stuff back and get out there, may I leave?

CO von Krieg says:
::nods to XO knowingly::

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: The pilot then initiates a sharp dive, preferably towards a subterranean ore deposit similiar to the shuttle, fire phasers when in close proximity and pull out... it will appear as if the shuttle had engine failure and was destroyed, well at least temporarily

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@CSO: Very well... You will be reassigned to Red Squad. You are being paid well to deceive your Government. If your shipped home, you will not speak of what you've seen here. Understood ?!

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: In the mean time the extraction team beams down, the authorities will be to busy examining the "crashed" shuttle they wont notice the infiltration

 CIV Apryus says:
TO: Our team at the shuttle can keep them busy

TO T’Rel says:
CIV: Indeed. A most logical plan.

XO Starks says:
TO/CIV: how's it coming?

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: We have a plan

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: Understood sir!

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: where can I pick my stuff up at?

CO von Krieg says:
::settles into the hard chair and begins to review the sensor data::

XO Starks says:
:: looks over Tac station display ::

 CIV Apryus says:
XO:  2 teams, one beams down shortly after a faked shuttle crash, team 1 heads down in the shuttle, at 2 km begins venting particles from the nacelles, making it look like engine instability, dives sharply at a subterranean ore deposit, low to the surface the shuttle fires phasers at the ore, then pulls up, making it appear to be an engine failure.

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ Guard: Get him registered with red squad. Typical Issue equipment.

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: This should... distract the authorities as team 2 infiltrates the compound and pulls Wilks out, team 1 will keep them busy

CO von Krieg says:
::listens to the plan::

XO Starks says:
CO: what do you think Captain?

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: What about my stuff that you picked up off of me?

CO von Krieg says:
XO/CIV: I agree. I will lead the extraction team.

 CIV Apryus says:
CO/XO: Where would you like me stationed?

XO Starks says:
CO: I request to pilot the shuttle sir

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: Colonel! What about my  things?

TO T’Rel says:
CO/XO: Shall I accompany a team?

CO von Krieg says:
::nods to XO::

FCO Qwynn says:
:: continues to monitor the powered-down ship which is on the base ::

XO Starks says:
TO: your with Extraction team, you too Apryus

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: I think I should accompany you, I'm the most familiar with the procedure we will be undertaking

Host Colonel Schenker says:
@ ::turns away while speaking:: CSO: You'll be issued gear private!

TO T’Rel says:
XO: Aye sir.

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Mr. Qwynn, you are with me as well.

XO Starks says:
CIV: so we'll be adding shuttle pilot to your resume Apryus?

CSO Wilks says:
@Col: Can I just have one of my things back, its a triangular shaped pin, Its a sentimental object to me

FCO Qwynn says:
CO: With you, yes sir.

 CIV Apryus says:
XO: I wasn't aware I had a resume, I dont suggest I pilot, as it is not my particular talent, but I know how to make the venting particles fill our illusion

CO von Krieg says:
All: Arm yourselves. Type 3s.

CO von Krieg says:
::grim::

XO Starks says:
CIV: agreed, your with me. Team one is the Captain FCO and TO

Host Colonel Schenker says:

TO T’Rel says:
@CO: Your orders sir.

XO Starks says:

CIV Apryus says:
$XO: Prepared for liftoff...

XO Starks says:
$ :: runs into shuttle takes pilot seat ::

XO Starks says:
$ CIV: lifting off begin active scan for their com badges and initiate transport when you get a lock

Host Check Point Guard says:
:: holds his weapon at the AT:: Halt! Get to the defense bunkers!

XO Starks says:
$ CIV: look at the SRS, an even better distraction...looks like local aircraft are coming into the area

FCO Qwynn says:
@ :: looks back to ensure the Captain, CSO and TO are all safely following behind her, and they are ::

 CIV Apryus says:
$::Searches over the surface for comm signals::

 CIV Apryus says:
$XO: We should probably ascend to a higher altitude, those ships are just as likely to fire at us

XO Starks says:
$ CIV: not till we get a TR lock

XO Starks says:
$ CIV: anything yet?

CO von Krieg says:
@All: Pull back to defensive positions.

 CIV Apryus says:
$ XO: I believe so...

TO T’Rel says:
@ ::moves to comply::

CIV Apryus says:
$ XO: I'm preparing to transport, just another moment...

CSO Wilks says:
@:: follows order::

XO Starks says:
$ :: pilots shuttle low and fast towards the facility, inertial dampers still offline ::

 CIV Apryus says:
$ XO: Want me to mix it up a bit? Random weapons fire at installations?

XO Starks says:
$ CIV: that would force them into hiding but we don't know where our people are so we may hit an area that they are in
