Host FM_Little_Goo says:
RECAP: Abertura has gone to Alpha Alert.  C&C is locked down, Hard Shields have deployed and all exterior doors have sealed.  The Interior of the Station is bathed in black light, now that the Hard Shields are blocking the exterior windows.  Sounds of heavy boot falls can be heard throughout the station.  An extremely irate Laevon fumes in Medical, with three guards.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::receives the Captain's orders through his comm badge, and opens the door of the ATWV again, hopping back down to the ground and looking over at Kiz and Apollo, checking if they got the same orders::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: I'm not sure sir. ::looks at his tricorder, hoping to get something - anything - useful out of it::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*C&C* Control! Report!

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::snarls under her breath and looks around the garage, watching Apollo and Tyler::

Host Laevon says:
::Looks extremely out of sorts ... even for Laevon. Apparently, the sonic damage caused by the CSO's earlier experience through him out of whack::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::begins to make for the door back to the hallway, looking back at the 2 of them to see if they're coming also::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::in the science lab:: self: What is going on? ::heads to the C&C::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::reaches the entrance to the hanger and runs inside, tapping his badge:: *CO*: Dallas to Captain Thelsh!

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* Yes Captain?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::trots after Tyler::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stands beside Thelsh, slightly confused and looking around:: Self: Something tells me this can't be particularly...good...

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks around, then decides to head toward C&C::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Report!  What is the alert for?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: Wait here sir..
::walks down the corridor a bit, looking at his tricorder::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Standing just on the Commanding Officer's Balcony staring at the internal tactical display::

Host Laevon says:
<Syarta> CEO: Certainly. ::Looks around::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::out the door and across the hall, Tyler leads the group into the lift and orders C&C::

Host Laevon says:
::Calls out:: CO: Captain ...

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::crosses her arms as she walks into the lift with Tyler:: Self: Stupid Klingons don't scare me

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::double taps his badge to clear the channel as he runs towards Security:: *XO*: Dallas to Commander Hixxan, come in!

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh*  Unknown, it was activated by Second Officer Laevon.  We are on high alert, Three Jem'Hadar Triads are flanking a Klingon Contingent on Deck Five.  No weapons fire detected as of yet.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: Captain, I believe it would be advisable for us to vacate sickbay immediately and proceed to Command & Control...::He pauses hearing his comm badge go off:: *CSEC*: Hixxan here, go ahead Ensign...

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::in the lift:: CIV: I don't think it's the Klingons we have to worry about.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::pauses at the door to SB...turns to look at the extremely out of sort Vorta, hears the report::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::waits at the doors to the C&C lift::

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Suddenly steps in the CO & XO's way out of Sickbay::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::smirk:: CBO: I know. But the Jem'Hadar haven't met an angry Kiz before

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
*XO*: Why is this station on alert, Commander? I can hear what sounds like troop movements. ::pauses:: I'm on my way to Security to arm myself.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati*  Called by Laevon?  Comm all personnel... tell them to stay were they are... Weapons are on hold!  NO Firing!

Host Laevon says:
::Gritting his teeth ... his eyes look wild ... too wild for a typical Vorta::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He gives Thelsh a sideways glance:: Laevon: We do not have time for these antics...

Host Laevon says:
XO: You will make the time.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Steps around the JH, trying to move to Laevon:: Laevon: What is going on?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* My Soldiers adhere to radio silence until Alpha Alert is terminated by the Vorta.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::listens to the voice count up to 8, then it stops and the doors open, revealing the brain guy on the other side - not the thing Tyler would have chosen to see when he's already on edge::

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::The large JH grabs the petite Andorian by the arm, and "gently" moves her back::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::hits the tricorder with his hand::
Syarta: My scans are being blocked.. I can't get anything past these bulkheads. ::listens carefully:: There's some sort of troop movement going on... we can't stay here..

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
*CSEC*: It appears that there is a situation, and Laevon has called Alpha Alert. His Jem’Hadar are on radio silence and are most likely shrouded. The Captain has ordered that no weapons are to be fired...I advise you do your best to locate the cause...immediately.

Host Laevon says:
CO: I have decided to lock down the station in response to your earlier attempts to kill me. Apparently your initial phase in a plan to eliminate Dominion presence here. ::Looks crazed while sitting on the bio-bed under a blanket::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::the lift doors open and enters the lift standing beside the CVO and the CIV:: CVO: What is going on?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Pulls herself up to her full height.. making her just short of the JH chin::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::bursts into the Security Office and makes his way quickly over to the small armory:: *XO*: Aye Commander. ::that's what I was going to do anyway::. Dallas out.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::sighs at the sight of the CSO:: Self: At least Brock is okay

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::looks at the CIV:: CIV: Are you okay Miss Kedi?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::shrugs:: CSO: I wish I knew...we were ordered back to C&C, you too?

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guards Two & Three> ::Step up by the XO::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Laevon: You have got to be kidding, why would we want to kill you? ::His eyes dart around the room, noting the location of the three Jem’Hadar guard and he gives a concerned look to Thelsh::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Laevon: What are you talking about?  There have been no attempts to kill you! Though I will admit to having the thought once in a while, but there has been NO ATTEMPTS.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::meanwhile, the lift has begun again::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::closes the comm, grabbing one of the Type-III's and a pistol holster:: *Ranuck: Dallas to Ranuck. General, where are your people?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::low growl:: CSO: Just fine ::lashes her tail::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: No. But I would certainly like to know what is going on.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::taps comm badge:: *CSEC* Korben, what have you got on the situation?  Is there an external threat?

Host Laevon says:
::Points at the "blood" which has dripped from his ears and dried:: CO: THIS IS AN ATTACK, CAPTAIN!!!

Host Laevon says:
<Three Jem'Hadar> ::Do not flinch at their Vorta's screaming::

Host General_Ranuck says:
*Dallas* Protecting this base... we deploy on Alpha Alert.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: I have no idea. ::looks at the ceiling as the lift comes to a stop at deck 12, forcing them to switch lifts for the end of the trip::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
*CBO*: The threat's internal, Lieutenant. I suggest you stay where you are and see if you can get the Hanger door open. If things get worse, take one of the ATWV's out of here.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Laevon: Then it didn’t come from ME!  Tell me what happened so we can work this out before we ALL die in this hell hole!

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He cringes at the yell that pierces through his mind:: Laevon: Do you have a translation for the term "accident?" None of this was intentional, I assure you...::He looks at the two guards by him::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::just realizes he has "Slimer" with him and lifts it up to show them:: CVO/CIV: He is kind of cute don't you think?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: We need to get to the security office.. that would probably be the most secure place. ::suddenly realizes he hasn't tried the comm badge::
*CSEC Dallas*: Mr. Dallas, do you have any idea what the hell is going on?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CSEC* Understood, thanks Korben.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::makes a face at the CSO:: CSO: Ewwwww!!! You brought it with you??!!  ::scoots away from the CSO::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::orders the Jemmies and Klingons still in Security to stay there, leaving the office with two of the Starfleet security people;: *Ranuck* General, you don't have any authority to deploy in this base. Pull back your people and return them to your barracks.

Host Laevon says:
<Syarta> ::Nods, and follows after the CEO ... his Haisian robes slightly billowing as he wonders what is going on:

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::frowns as he crosses the hall:: CSO: No, not really. You didn't have that thing sucking on you for 20 minutes though. ::gets in the new one and it takes off::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::running toward the center now, and the lifts::

Host Laevon says:
CO/XO: Your Chief Science Officer launched a sonic assault upon the station with the intention of killing me!

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO/CVO/CIV: I'm heading down to the hanger to see if I can get an ATWV out.  I might need some help.  Volunteers?

Host General_Ranuck says:
*Dallas* We do.. and my troops are deployed

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::thinks about the CVO, and then about the CSO with his new "pet":: CBO: I'll go

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CBO: Umm.. ::motions out the window, where the hard shield is still up, completely surrounding the base:: I don't think you'll have much luck.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::growls and taps his badge again, warily watching the shadows for occasional shifts that shouldn't be there:: *CEO*: Not much more than you. Sorry sir, but I'm kind of busy. ::cuts the comm, switching it over again::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::tries to calm down, showing the JH she means no harm, and tries to move to Laevon:: Laevon: I know nothing about a sonic attack, but I will most definitely look into it... Now, let us work this out...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::A twinge of a smile creeps into the corner of her lips as she listens to the internal comm-traffic being routed through her ear piece::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks to Thelsh and prays that she is more diplomatic with the irate Vorta then he can be:: JH2: Does this mean you intend to detail us for something our subordinate did, or did not do?

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
*Ranuck: General! Gen... ::sighs heavily at the static and stops in the lift with the two officers:: *CO*: Captain Thelsh, are you still with Commander Hixxan?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CVO: Well, I'll see what I can do.  ::looks to Kiz:: CIV: Let's go.  ::heads back for the lift down to the hanger::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks at Hixxan, indicating he should answer Dallas::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::notes the urgency in Korben's voice and starts to get worried - he left his phaser in his quarters this shift::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::shakes his head and continues up to C&C::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Notices her soldiers have also been listening to internal traffic, two Triads are monitoring the Civilian Federation Citizens and Six other Triads are monitoring the rest of the Starfleet personnel which have all congregated in groups::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He slowly taps his comm badge:: *CSEC*: I am currently with sickbay along with Laevon and Captain Thelsh. The Captain is currently detained, is there something I can help you with Ensign?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::walks next to the CBO::

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard Two> ::Simply stares at the XO::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::in the lift, heading back to the hanger...it stops finally, and he gets off and enters the hanger::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: A Disruptor blast can be heard through the lower decks of the station echoing off bulkheads

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: Well, the C&C is locked down tighter than a tick on a dog's behind.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::enters the hanger next to the CBO, her feline eyes adjusting to the darkness::

Host Laevon says:
CO: I think not ... I think I'll just keep you here ... and perhaps let my Jem'Hadar guards slaughter those filthy Klingons ... and perhaps then move onto your precious STARFLEET PERSONNEL!

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::kicks the lift viciously, willing it to rise faster:: *XO*: Actually, you can. ::lets the impatience leak into his voice:: Can you tell me why the dyavol  the captain is detained and .. ::listens;: and what the heck was that?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::His ears just barely pick up on the sound of weapons fire below them and he cringes:: Laevon: Stop this now before we loose more lives...and more people are injured...

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::the lift stops, one deck shy of C&C and deposits him there:: CSO: So it would appear. ::looks around:: There any jeffries tubes leading in there or anything that you know of?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Eyes track the Klingon group who fired the blast, Triad-Z3 was nearby.  The Shroud enhancing light must be malfunctioning in that area::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::checks his PADD with the station layout::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::goes to a console and starts working on opening the hanger doors::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Slowly moves toward the Vorta...as calm as any have ever seen her:: Laevon: That would not be wise... nor would it be the wishes of the Founders...  We do not want to restart the war.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::watches Brock intently, waiting for an answer::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::stands next to Apollo, watching for a shimmer in the room and listening carefully::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::hears blasts...looks to Kiz:: Kiz: Damn...we've got a decision to make...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Dallas/Yokati* Tell your people to hold their fire....

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: Looks like there is a power conduit that is between this level and the C&C.

Host Laevon says:
CO: Perhaps you should have thought of that BEFORE you started this insane plan!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::hears a disruptor blast from a nearby level::
Syarta: Sir, there's a small closet over there, I recommend you stay in there indefinitely.. the bulkhead is thick enough to protect you. ::really wish he had a phaser::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: Sounds like as good a place as any to try.. how do we get there?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Just wishes he had a way of lashing out and disabling the Jem’Hadar in the room. His mind begins to skim over possibilities of disabling Laevon and the Jem’Hadar, however nothing specific comes to mind - without getting himself and Thelsh killed in the process::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::bares her sharp teeth and growls, looks over at the CBO::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
*CSEC* We're hearing blasts somewhere in the lower levels...is there a security team available in the area?

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: It should be behind a panel just down the corridor on the right. ::heads off in that direction::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: Prop as many things against the door as you can. Hopefully this "lockdown" won't last long. ::takes off towards a nearby access shaft::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::follows behind , looking at the black, internal side of the shield out the window::

Host Laevon says:
<Syarta> ::Looks slightly panicked:: CEO: What could have possibly caused this? ::He says as he looks around for things which he can carry over to prop against the door::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::steps out on Level 4 finally:: *CO*: They're already trained to do that unless they're fired upon, ma'am. And based on what I heard, that's likely.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Laevon: There is no plan... We are here to learn from each other.  We cannot accomplish our mission if we kill you off.  Let me find out what happened and then we can deal with this in a civilized way.

Host Laevon says:
::Eyes are twitching ... something is definitely wrong with him::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Self: He appears far from civilized curled up and screaming as is...

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Laevon: If I may...ask you something...::He looks almost concerned for a moment::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::find the panel and opens it looks in and up::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::stalking towards Sickbay with two officers, rifle blinking Heavy Stun::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Turns to a JH soldier:: JH: What  is wrong with him?  What medical treatment is needed?

Host Laevon says:
::Turns and around:: XO: What exactly would you like to know MR. HIXXAN?! ::Finally gets the XO's name right::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: I wish I knew..
::enters an access shaft, trying to remember which way is his quarters::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: Looks pretty tight.

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> CO: The Vorta has been injured by an high-level sonic burst. Other than that, there is nothing "wrong" with him.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The sounds of boot falls enter the far end of the Hangar

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* First... something is definitely wrong with Laevon... how can we help him?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks in over Brock's shoulder:: CSO: Hmm... ::eyes him up and down:: We should fit. ::crawls in, head first::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::stops at a corner, carefully looking down a long, apparently empty corridor:: *CBO*: Teams three and six were down there, sir, but they had no Starfleet personnel with them. I can't be certain if they're going to be any use or not.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* I am unaware of anything wrong with the Vorta.

Host Laevon says:
CO: NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME!

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: After you. ::follows the CVO::

Host Laevon says:
CO: SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU!

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::crouches behind one of the ATWV's and growls, checking the sharpness of her claws::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::Almost takes a step back at the screaming Vorta and looks him directly in the eye, noticing his nervous twitch:: Laevon: I know that the Vorta have enhanced hearing abilities. You mentioned a sonic burst...has there been a history of Vorta’s injured in such a manor that their nerve fibber was damaged by an overload to the nerve ending in the ear?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* He has been injured by a sonic burst.  Send down a JH medic or whatever it is you have to help him

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::follows the corridor a ways down. It is actually a very tight fit, but he wouldn't let Brock know that::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::mutters an expletive and kneels down behind the console he's at::  *CSEC* We have a situation in the hanger...a large number of people have just entered!

Host Laevon says:
XO: What are you talking about?! I am in FULL CONTROL of my faculties!

Host Laevon says:
XO: Now if you do not BACK OFF, I will have you both TERMINATED, now!

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* We are not trained in medicine.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::cursing the need for conversation, but needs to talk to him:: *CBO*: If they make it an issue, surrender.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Laevon: Then why are you screaming? ::He speaks in a calm voice:: Laevon: Do you not realize that this is pointless - this is not like you.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::barely fitting through:: CVO: It seems tight to me. Maybe I should lose a few pounds.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Laevon: Laevon... in all the short time that I have known you... I can definitely say this is not your normal behavior.  You are usually the most calm of the officers here...much calmer than I.  Now the situation is reversed, so something is wrong.  Will you let me try to help you?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::continues down the cramped crawlway until he comes to what looks like the door to C&C:: CSO: Couldn't hurt. ::looks back at him with a big grin, then back at the door:: This is it I presume?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Footfalls in the hangar stop, and no one is seen.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::checks his PADD:: CVO: Yes. That should be it.

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Notes a Klingon contingent nearing Medical::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::ignores the CVO's comment about his weight::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::reaches out and hits the open door button, not really expecting it to work::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* Captain, General Ranuck is nearing Medical

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::sniffs the air, checking to see if the intruders had left::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::gets up to Level One, silently exiting the access shaft, looking around for which way the security office is::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The door opens for Hamilton, its a Power Junction for the Lift System

Host Laevon says:
CO: NO, I do not NEED YOUR HELP! Jem'Hadar Guard One: Terminate the Cmdr.! ::Points wildly at the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Thank you , First.  *Ranuck* General, how can we... Laevon: NO!  Belay that order!!!!!!!

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::flicks her ears back and looks to the CBO with a scared look::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::spots the burly shapes moving bravely down the corridors:: Self: Klingons..

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Looks at the Vorta, and takes a step toward the XO. Stopping to look at the wildly shouting CO::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::blinks:: CSO: That was easy. ::frowns as he doesn't see C&C on the other side:: On the other hand, that ::emphasizes and motions to the blinking lights:: might be why. ::frowns::

Host Laevon says:
::More blood trickles down his nose::

Host Laevon says:
::Clenches fists and leans forward:: Kill them ... terminate them ... for the Founders ... its all for the Founders you see ...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::leaves the other two officers and runs down the corridor toward them:: Ranuck: General!

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::his phaser drawn, he crouches, motionless and silent, glancing at Kiz::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
Self: What the...?

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stands and looks the Jem’Hadar directly in the eye:: JH: I know this won't make a matter of difference to you...however you should see that this situation is wrong and that kill me will create a diplomatic incident that the Dominion wishes to avoid...

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Makes no move to take out the XO just yet, having been stopped by the CO::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::inhales again, trying to be more precise:: Self: Five.....no six ::quietly::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Laevon: The Founders do not want this fight... You know that!  JH, look at the Vorta... You know he is ill... Delay his order until he is well enough to think it through

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Pounds on the door to Medical::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: We're close at least, right?

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard Two & Three> ::Look at One::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::hears the pounding, hopes it distracts enough, and moves toward the Vorta, cautiously::

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Motions at them to do nothing:: CO: You are the Commander. We follow your orders.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He hear the banging at the door but doesn't turn away from the Jem’Hadar gaze:: Jem’Hadar: Do it if you must...but you know the consequences...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::grabs Ranuck's armor and pulls him quickly back from the door, depending on surprise to have him off balance::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Command the JH... Let me help the Vorta

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO:  Should be. I don't understand it. ::taps his PADD with his finger:: I guess I need to update my map.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::arrives at the entrance to the security office, entering it slowly, he notes the security personnel in there - and stares at the weapons they have raised at him::
Sec. Officers: Whoa! Stand down! Lieutenant Michael Lambert, Chief Engineer!

Host Laevon says:
::Eyes practically bulge out of his head:: JH: FOLLOW MY ORDERS! TERMINATE HIM! AND HER AS WELL! TERMINATE THEM ALL!

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::grunts, and whispers:: Self: Here goes nothing...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* They will respond to your Orders Captain, above all else.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::takes a deep breath and frowns:: CSO: You sure you're reading it right?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::watches Apollo:: Self: Oh boy..

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::remaining hidden:: Hangar People: Identify yourselves!

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::gives the PADD to the CVO with a huff:: CVO: Check it out yourself.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Looks at the JH:: He is  wounded.  He is confuse.  Stand down that order.  I am going to help him now

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Jem'Hadar and Klingons in Security are on opposite sides of the room, all tense with two human security officers in the middle.

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Nods::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves to the medical table and finds some tranquilizers::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::takes it and glances at it quickly, then taps a few buttons, rotating the map to it's proper orientation and handing it back to him:: CSO: Try it now.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stands staring at the Jem’Hadar still - calm as can be expected - he just looks at them, resolute not to pressure them further::

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Begins to pry the doors open::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Moves toward Laevon with a hypo:: Laevon: Laevon you are hurting... I am going to help you now... this will help stop the pain

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::grabs, pulls, and trips Ranuck and makes him land solidly on his back, scrambling out of the mass before resting his foot heavily on the Klingon's armored chess and aiming the rifle obviously at his face:: Ranuck: I need your complete attention here, General. My commanding officer is in that room and my job is to ensure her security.

Host Laevon says:
<Jem'Hadar Guard One> ::Simply glances at the XO ... showing no emotions. He really didn't care if they killed the XO or not::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::stun light blinks on the rifle :: Ranuck: I can't do that if you're getting her killed with your antics. ::keeps his voice low::

Host Laevon says:
::Screams out in a shrill cry, and leaps at the CO ... choking her::

Host Laevon says:
ACTION: The attack causes the CO to drop her tranquilizer.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::taps the button to close this hatch again and begins to make way back down the crawlway::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::takes the PADD and looks at it:: CVO: Oh... then check the panel to the left just up a couple of meters.

Host Laevon says:
::Blood is practically streaming out of his ears and nose::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He notices Laevon moving and dives at Laevon. He does his best to pry the Vorta from Thelsh, similar to the slimer only moments before::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Falls backward from the attack, losing the hypo.  Pulls at Laevon’s hands::

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Snarls, Grabs Dallas Foot and pushing him up, literally tossing him up at the ceiling before falling on his back winded::  Dallas:  What do you think you are doing Human, we are on the same side.

Host Laevon says:
OOF! ::Is tackled by the XO. Claws at him::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
JH: Hold the Vorta!

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::With a quick motion he grabs the Vorta's face and swings around, pulling and trying to snap his neck without care anymore::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks around for the hypo::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::nods and grins, moving over to said panel and hitting the button, again expecting nothing::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::knows he's out-numbered, he hold his phaser above his head with his finger off the trigger:: Hangar people: I'm coming out...  ::he whispers as he walks past Kiz:: Kiz: Cover me...

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::slowly retrieves a phaser rifle, keeping a cautious eye on the various officers - especially the two Jem'Hadar::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::ignores the pain shooting in his shoulder blade and stands:: Ranuck: Not right now we're not. Stand back. Wait.. ::reaches forward and grabs the ever-present daq'tagh and jams it in the doors, wedging them open::

Host Laevon says:
ACTION: As the CO searches the ground for the hypo, a large and audible SNAP is heard throughout sickbay.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::nods and watches the room::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Jem'Hadar Guards look curious and stare, but do nothing else.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::freezes at the sound, then turns slowly to look at the seen she knows she will see::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Laevon lays dead at the XO's hands ... his head twisted in an awkward way.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He feels the Vorta's body go limp in his hands and he lets Laevon's head slide out of his hands and stands - wondering how the Jem’Hadar will react:: Out loud: So that's it...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::has to use his foot to force the door open, bursting in and pointing his rifle at everyone:: CO: Captain! Are you all right! ::swings the rifle around, leveling ti at Hixxan and Laevon:: Chort!

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: The Door opens to Medical and Ranuck and Dallas pour in.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks down at Leavon, then up at Hixxan, then at the JH, then at the rush of people coming into SB::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He takes a slightly stunned step back from the body of Laevon and looks down at it - almost helpless:: CO: It wasn't...I...::He doesn't know what to say as he sees the teams rush in::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::exits the security office, rushing down the corridor with a phaser rifle... not really sure where he's going::

Host General_Ranuck says:
ACTION: The Door beeps back at Hamilton

Host Syarta says:
::Pokes his head out after the CEO:: CEO: Mr. Lambert? Mr. Lambert ... wait! ::He gathers his robes, and follows::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: This looks more promising. ::hits the button again, getting another beep back:: CSO: You know how to pick locks?

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Sees the dead Limp Vorta and starts laughing::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
:: aims the rifle at the two Jemmies:: JH: Back!

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Waves to all the security:: All:  Everybody... lower you weapons... ::Steps up to Laevon’s body::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::looks back at Ranuck seriously:: Ranuck: General.. get them out of here. ::gestures to the Jemmies::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: I can only try. ::grins and moves to give it a try::

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar Guards> ::Glare at the CSEC ... but do nothing::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Bends down and feels for a pulse... fruitless, but necessary::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::stops in his tracks::
Syarta: Sir?

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
CSO: You'd probably have more luck overriding the code then me, you do have seniority.

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Laughing loudly he pushes the three, oddly cooperative Jem'Hadar from the room::

Host Syarta says:
CEO: I'd feel much more comfortable if I remained with you, Mr. Lambert.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: It was just...necessary...::He's not exactly sure of what to say as some of the officers pile out around him and he stands stock still staring at the body - the life he took::

Host Syarta says:
<Jem'Hadar Guards> ::Consider killing the General ... but decide that ultimately that whatever Vorta that replaces Laevon would disagree with that::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
All: Clear this room... Return to your barracks.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::tries to override the security codes to access the panel:: CVO: That doesn't mean much. But here goes.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::he stops, and goes back to the console he was at and lays the phaser down on it, and using the console, turns up the lights::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::rests his hand lightly on her shoulder:: CO: Ma'am, please step back from the Vorta.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::puts one hand on either side, behind him to hold himself up, and crosses the fingers on one hand::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::looks around for the telltale medical sensors in the room, relieved there will be some sort of record of this::

Host General_Ranuck says:
::Laughs all the way back to his Quarters, telling the wonderful news to all of his men, tonight will be for Bloodwine and Celebration::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Syarta: I don't know if that's a good idea.. My rating on the phaser rifle isn't the best, and I'm not much of an aim. You would have been safer in the closet.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::gets a beeping response but the access does not open:: Self: Damn.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Steps over to a biobed, looking at the body::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::keeps her eyes on where the footsteps stopped, flicking one ear towards Apollo::

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::tries it again with another command code::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He just stands there a moment - feeling almost physically ill:: CO: Captain...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::The same start of a smile twitches the corner of her lips as she views the visual relayed from Medical.::

Host Syarta says:
::Shakes his head:: CEO: If I'm to learn many things of your people and their culture, how you react in such situations as these ... well, that is a start.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* First... Deactivate Alpha Alert

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::waits as Brock runs through his codes::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: The Door opens for Brock and the two get access to C&C

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* Only you can do that Captain.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::smiles at the CVO:: CVO: Ha! We're in!

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* The Computer will recognize your authorization now that the Vorta is dead.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::eyes go wide:: CSO: Ah yeah you did it! ::clambers out of the hatch and looks around::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::crouches over the body and notes the dimpled bruises along the jaw line, then stands slowly:: CO/XO: Ma'am, sir. I'm going to need statements from both of you.

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
::gets out of the hatch::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Thank you... Computer... deactivate Alpha Alert..

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::makes sure his hands are completely visible, and walks slowly toward where the footsteps were last heard:: People: Please reveal yourselves.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::moves to the center of C&C::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Keys in the Vorta Death Code into the base's computer.::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: So....

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::tenses her muscles, ready to defend the CBO::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::doesn't like it, but he doesn't have a choice::
Syarta: Stay behind me then.. and the first sign of weapons fire, you run! ::moves down the corridor carefully, sweat pouring down his face as he looks through the holographic cross-hair of the rifle::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
CO: I...don't know what to say...::He slowly looks up and toward Dallas, noticing him for the first time::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Normal illumination is returned and the loud thunk of the Hard Shields retracting can be heard.  All external locks open simultaneously.

Host Syarta says:
::Nods, a bit surprise at the mention of weapons fire ... and still wondering what is going on. Is sure that his report to the Hierarchy will be very interesting as he follows the CEO::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
ACTION: Six Jem'Hadar deshroud in the Hangar, weapons at their sides and walk out towards their barracks, ignoring the Starfleet personnel.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* First... What is to be done with the remains of the Vorta?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Looks down to see the two officers enter C&C::

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::frowns as light comes back:: CSO: All that, breaking in and everything, and then everything goes back to normal as soon as we're in...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: I dont know what to tell you...

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* It will just be disposed of in the Waster reclamators.

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::doesn't notice Yokati:: CSO: Oh well, I guess we're ready for the next time.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::gets more tense as normal lighting returns... he squints as his eyes readjust to the illumination..::
Syarta: I hope that's a good sign.. ::hears the sound of the outer shields retracting::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::curses several times under his breath:: Anyone: ...freaking robots is what they are, all they do is...  ::mutters, walking back toward Kiz::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::flicks her ears forward:: CBO: Told you there was someone in here

Host Yokati_Clon says:
Hamilton: Ensign, next time use your Alpha Override Code.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
CO/XO: I'm going to need you both to accompany me to the Security Office where I will take your statements. The Infirmary will have to be off limits for the time being. ::urges them toward the door:: Sirs...

CSO_Lt_Brock says:
CVO: Right. And it could have been necessary.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He looks to the Captain and Dallas slowly:: CO/CSEC: I will freely step down from my duties and remain in quarters until a full investigation can be conducted...

Host Syarta says:
::Nods:: CEO: Me as well.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::shakes her head at the lack of respect to the dead:: *Yokati* Don't you clone your Vorta?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* It will be taken care of

CVO_Ens_Hamilton says:
::looks up, spinning around, not having seen Yokati before:: Yokati: Umm.. ok. ::thinks that's the first time he's ever even seen her::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: An investigation will have to take place, of course... But you do not have to be confined to quarters..

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He slowly moves towards the doors, looking back once more at the limp body of Laevon in sheer disbelief::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*Yokati* Is it possible to delay or simply not activate a new clone?

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::Stands on the Balcony above the main situation area, watching the officers all return their duties, going to suggest that some Starfleet personnel are always assigned to C&C in future::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::shakes his head:: CO/XO: I'm sorry ma'am, but he does. ::looks about to spout regulations::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves toward the hallway...::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
*Thelsh* It will be taken care of Captain.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CIV: Let's get out of here... ::motions toward the exit::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSEC: Dont.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSEC: You will conduct the investigation, but under my authority, he is confined to base only.

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He steps out into the corridor and watches as the door shuts. He goes into to key in a code on the door to seal it, but steps back to allow Dallas or Thelsh to do their duty::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::walks next to the CBO, laying her hand on his elbow:: CBO: I thought you were very brave

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::doesn't flinch:: CO: Captain, those regulations are as much for his protection as anyone. Free to move about the base he could contaminate evidence or material witnesses.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Points Hixxan toward the Lift, motioning Dallas to secure the door::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::raises an eyebrow at that line:: CIV: Eh...thanks...but I didn't really know what I was doing, so...

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He nods slowly and heads in the direction of the lift slowly. He's still quite unsure of what to say - he had never thought that this could happen. His only fear was how the Dominion would react to such an incident::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::leaves Judia at the door to the Infirmary and follows Thelsh to the lift::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::is about to contact Dallas to find the site rep, but something tells him Korben is occupied at the moment::
Syarta: Let's see if we can get back to C&C now.. our tour will have to be post-poned..

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
Self: I may have just cost us the station...

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
CSEC: Post a security detail on him, if you want...

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::leans her head on his shoulder:: CBO: you were still brave

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
XO: Hixxan... Oitan, after Ens Dallas gets his statement, go get some rest...

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::nods, since he was going to do that anyway:: CO: Aye. ::jabs the lift button for Level 1::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He nods slowly:: CO: Aye Captain...that might be the best suggestion right about now...

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::feels like he should be responding with, "Aww shucks, miss, 'twern't nothin'!"::

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::turns to her:: CO: Ma'am, until this investigation is complete, I suggest you suspend freedom of movement privileges to all but on-duty personnel. At most this will take two days. Less, if the medical records are sufficient.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::heads towards the lift, hearing it comes towards level 1::
Syarta: Stand back!
::points his phaser rifle at the doorway, waiting for the lift to arrive::

Host Syarta says:
::Jumps back::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
::blushes and sighs with relief::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks at her blue skinned XO:: CSEC: Agreed.  Only on-duty personnel.

CSEC_Ens_Dallas says:
::glances hard at Hixxan, and then taps his badge, waking up every security officer::

XO_LtCmdr_Hixxan says:
::He stared blankly forward, Dallas and Thelsh's words more background noise as he listens to the hum of the Dominion lift. Things were different from now on::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
::The railing display beeps at Yoka, who looks down calmly.  A 112 hour countdown has commenced, her "happy" mood just soured.  The Base has already initiated Laevon 2.0's growth::

Host Yokati_Clon says:
