[[[[[ Begin Mission – Dead Men’s Tales Ep 4 - Stardate 10208.28 ]]]]]

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CEO* Michael, how goes the digging?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@All: Does anyone have any questions?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: Hundreds of hands shoot up

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::eyes go wide:: Uhhh......okay..::points:: You.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::near Brock and Jadahn, trying to localize some nearby signals.. he taps his chirping comm badge and sighs::
*Thelsh*: Not much new to report Captain. Commander Brock, Lieutenant Jadahn and myself are converging on some newly detected signals.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> ::Launches into a lengthy question about the socio-political structure of most Federation worlds and how cross-cultural dynamics figure into the governmental system::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::eyes wide:: Umm...::makes the "rabbit looking at an oncoming train" look::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: A Klingon away from the main group suddenly yells out for assistance

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::walking with Lambert and Brock::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CEO* Keep it safe out there... ::tries to identify the yell::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks over at the Klingon, and hopes he knows what he's doing::

CVO_Ensign_Hamilton says:
::continues circling overhead::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: There have to be more survivors. We must find them. ::runs to the Klingon::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::doesn't see the need to respond to the Captain and runs with Brock::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
*CVO* Hamilton...a klingon at coordinates...hmmm 87.3 mark 16 has found something.  Get over there to assist with the transporter

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::runs over to the Klingon with the others, watching his tricorder as he goes::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
ALL: Quickly. Set up the mobile transporter. Let's get those survivors out of there!

CVO_Ensign_Hamilton says:
*CO*: Will do Cap'n. ::cuts the comm and brings the shuttle around::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks to Syarta for help::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Watching with a pair of electronic binoculars as the group converge toward the waving Klingon::

Host Syarta says:
@ ::Decides to save Miss Kedi:: Student: Each world's government is dedicated to the planet at large, as well as the Federation itself. While there is influence from world to world, one could not say that one race "dominates" another. Each is equal to make its own decisions. ::Whispers to Kedi:: CIV: I've read a lot.

Host Syarta says:
<Another Student> @ ::Tilts her head as to indicate she has a question::

CVO_Ensign_Hamilton says:
::is over the site in moments and works at getting transporter locks::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::smiles and whispers to Syarta:: Syarta: thanks

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@All: Next question?

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Brock: There may not be time. We should beam a large pocket of oxygen into the hole to give us more time.

Host Syarta says:
<Another Student> @ CIV: How many worlds have you been to? And which ones have you learned the most from?

CVO_Ensign_Hamilton says:
::gets a lock on a couple and pulls them out, beaming them to the triage center::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CEO: Okay. Let's do it. ::sets up a transporter enhancer::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::smiles:: All: Well, Earth.....and here, so I guess I've learned the most here. Next question?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO/CEO: Perhaps make an exchange of gases, so as not to create a high pressure bubble in there.

Host Syarta says:
<A Third Student> @ ::Somewhat perplexed:: CIV: You've never been anywhere else besides Hais and Earth?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Turns as the sound of a transporter comes from behind her.  Turning she sees two Haispoi appear in the triage tent and get swarmed by medics and Dr Trull::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: Excellent idea. ::modifies the transporter for two way simultaneous transport:: CEO: We will need to increase the power to the mobile transporter. Can you get more power?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::nods:: that's right. One day I hope to visit Ferasa and see my father. I haven't seen him since I was very small.

CVO_Ensign_Hamilton says:
::can't find any more with the transporter sensors::

Host Syarta says:
<Another Student> @ ::The one from earlier tilts her head to indicate she has another question::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Jadahn: I forgot you were part Betazoid... let's do it.
Brock: Not a problem sir. I just need to change a few relays here... ::hopes it doesn't overload on him, that would be bad::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::points:: All: Okay, you again.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: Klingons and Starfleet begin digging down to the ten life signs while the senior staff play with their toys

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::moves over to check the two new victims, watching as Trull uses the Haisian equivalent of a medical exam:: Dr Trull: How are they doctor?

Host Syarta says:
<Another Student> @ CIV: What is Earth like?

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
Diggers: Hey! Be careful over there. That area is not stable enough for you to dig.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Trull> Thelsh: Alive, bruised, scratched, a little oxygen deprived, but will survive after some rest.  

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Brock: There, it's all set.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@All: It's a lot like here, warm sun, beautiful ocean, lots of trees, laughing children, great shopping.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CEO: Excellent. ALL: Okay, let's give them some air. ::activates the transporter::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Diggers stop their careful digging.  

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Trull: Good.  Then we can transport them to one of the smaller hospitals?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Trull> Thelsh: Yes, they should be fine.

Host Syarta says:
@ ACTION: All the Students nod, silently talk to each other, and take notes. Most try to imagine how it is possible for there to be another world like Hais out there.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::has his fingers crossed behind his back::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO/CEO: Okay, let's beam the survivors out.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@All: I'm sure maybe some of you will visit Earth someday

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The survivors beam out to the triage center where they are swarmed by medics

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods, and doesn't really do anything since the CSO/CEO seem to have the beaming part covered::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
:: directs an ops officer to notify the appropriate facility an advise them of the incoming patients, and to contact one of the Aero-shuttles to transport the wounded to the emergency room::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: Another call goes up from a small human female crawling out of a hole, covered in dirt and grime.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO: Over there! Help that girl.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::runs over to the frumpy girl::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::runs over to the frumpy girl::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::scans for more survivors still buried beneath the rock, stone and rubble::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::helps the girl out, and leads her to Lambert, then looks into the hole and his face goes white::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::helps Frumpy Girl out of the hole, and sees the shocked expression on Apollo's face::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::looks at Apollo:: CBO: Are you alright?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks around:: All: Are there any more questions?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO: Ye....yes.  We've got six bodies in here that we have to get out.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::runs over to Apollo:: CBO: Are they.....? ::looks saddened::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: A patient suddenly starts to convulse near Thelsh.

Host Syarta says:
@ ACTION: All the Haisians shake their heads no.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::nods to Brock::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::stares stupidly at the shaking Haispoi, then looks around in a panic:: Any: I NEED HELP OVER HERE!

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: No medics are there to help Thelsh

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::giggles:: All: Okay, thanks for having me ::bows::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::Kneels besides the seizing person, trying to cushion his head, so as not to add head injuries to the seizure::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
CBO/CEO: Let's get them out of there.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ ACTION: A lone hand goes up in the back to the room

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::stops what he's doing and freezes:: CEO/CSO: Someone is alive!  Not in this hole though....somewhere....I can't....quiet a moment.  ::listens::

Host Syarta says:
@ CIV: Ah, looks like there is one more question ...

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@Syarta: Oh?

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::checks to see if the Haispoi is breathing::

Host Syarta says:
@ ::Gestures to the lone person in the back::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::looks at CBO expectantly::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::thinks Apollo's finally lost it::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::gets impatient:: CBO: Come on. Where? ::waving hands::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::whips out his tricorder and scans the area::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> ::Stands up::  Kedi: Isn't it true that the Federation doesn't help cultures in its advancement and keeps technology and knowledge to themselves to have power over lesser species?

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Patient Thelsh is holding begins to cough up blood

Host Syarta says:
@ ::Frowns at the question, thinking - "It sounds like something that Vorta would say"::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@All: Yes......wait a minute.......no.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::looks around in panic:: Medic: MEDIC!

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::wonders why he was telling us to be quiet when he ends up using his tricorder anyway::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::all this tragedy is taking its toll on him::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> Kedi: Which is it Miss Kedi?  We would like to know.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
self: Such a waste of life. Such carnage.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO/CEO: This way... ::snaps his tricorder shut and follows what he can hear::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::follows Apollo::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::looks confused:: All: I've heard almost nothing on that subject, so I really can't say anything.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
Dr Trull: Doctor!!!! We have some kind of internal bleeding over here!!! I need some help here!

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Convulsing Patient> Thelsh: *cough* mahura... *spew* ... bless me... 

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> Kedi: You don't know about your own Federation?  Is that because they don't tell you what you don't need to know?

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::lowers his ear to the rubble...he crawls forward a few feet:: CSO/CEO: Here!  I...I think here.  It's the closest I can tell.

Host Syarta says:
@ ::Can't see this ending well::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::looks at Jadahn incredulously::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::scans the area with his tricorder:: ALL: Let's get this person outta there.

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::starts digging with his hands in panic not really being coherent::

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::covered in splutters of deep red  blood, she turn a sickly mauve herself, but continues to try and comfort the dying man::

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::makes a face:: All: In all of my dealing with the federation, they help species with "lesser" technology, not try to control them. ::lashing her tail::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::digs at the rubble::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
self: I won't let you die. I will get you out of there.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::glances at Brock while digging, then goes back to looked down at the masses of rubble::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::digging and digging, wishing he'd brought some shovels.. wonders if a phaser set on varied power would work::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Patient> Thelsh: *cough cough cough shake* ma...hura...... ::The patient locks eyes with Thelsh and they go vacant slowly as the body goes limp in her arms::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
Dirt: Don't you dare die on me. Don't you die.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> Kedi: To keep them inferior then?  To maintain the Federation's superiority

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::looks at Brock:: CSO: Easy Brock...just concentrate on what you're physically doing right now.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@Student: We help them. I don't know what you have against the Federation, but i think your questions would be answered better by a Starfleet officer.

Host CO_Capt_Thelsh says:
::holds on to the body as she watches the life leave his eyes... Tears trail down her face::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> Kedi: So Starfleet.. the military controls the Federation?

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@Student: No, but if you have questions, that's who I'd ask. I'm just a college student.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::feels like he's been digging for over 10 minutes::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::pokes through as his hand scrapes at the dirt...a beam of light shines down onto something::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
@ <Student> ::Makes a Haisian head gesture of frustration and leaves the auditorium::

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO/CEO: There's...there's a man in here!  He's got something...a little girl....she's...

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
CSO/CEO: ...She's singing.  ::breaks out of his stunned state and goes back to clearing away the dirt::

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::helps clear the dirt away:: Girl: It will be okay. We will get you out. Just hang on.

Host Syarta says:
@ :: Clasps hands together:: ALL: Well then, thank you all for coming today. It was quite a pleasure. Miss Kedi has other things to attend to, so she must be along.

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
Brock/Jadahn: Smart... the high-pitched singing allowed us to hear her from a distance.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: Seven other injured appear in the triage center... while 10 more bodies appear in the morgue area.

CIV_Miss_Kedi says:
@::smiles:: All: thank you for having me

CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Brock says:
::grabs the girl and pulls her out of the rubble::

CEO_Lt_Lambert says:
::grabs a canister of water from nearby and helps the girl to drink it::

Host Syarta says:
@ ACTION: The Haisian students nod in response, their own way of saying goodbye.

CBO_Lt_Jadahn says:
::once the girl is clear, he reaches in and takes grasp of the man's hand::
