The crew arrived at planet Benning and beamed down amongst heave phaser fire. All crewmembers split up into teams. Un enounced to them Cmdr McDonald was watching them from above and sending telepathic messages to the CNS
The crew was able to get out of the middle of the fire and start tracking the fire and those that were on the building shooting at them.
The crew was able to escape the initial attack and work their way out of the city and start making their way to the target site. They are presently 5kms from target in heavy forest and working their way towards the target site

@CO/OPS: Blackness, that’s all I can see, ma'am

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@::nods::  *CTO*:  Be careful, there are bound to be traps of all sorts, we just literally stumbled upon a 400 meter pit with no light or way out.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:

CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@::Giggles:: OPS: that wasn't very short
XO-Cmdr-McDonald says:

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*OPS*: Understood and thanks for the warning.
Host Ens_Cisab says:
::Tries to speak, but chokes from what seems like weeks without anything to drink::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@::laughs::  CO:  For us to talk to each other, that's short.
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@*CTO*:  Anytime.
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO: It is Commander McDonald and.. Cisab. They are on the other side of the forest. I have a slight picture of where they are. ::Tries to get a fix on her Tricorder:: ~~~XO: Hold on, we will get there as soon as possible.~~~
CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@OPS: Stop it! ::laughs some more:: we are suppose to be keeping a low profile, means keeping quiet
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@::whispers::  CO:  Sorry.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Stops with the CNS.:: CNS: The Commander and Cisab. Lead on Jen and be careful of your steps. There are traps set all around.
CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:

@FCO: So, how about, I talk to the captain, or if I can keep my position, we get you a new pip to go beside that lonely one there ::points to his neck::
XO-Cmdr-McDonald says:
ACTION: crew arrives in a clearing and they see a city
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Looks around and heads for the city:: CTO: I suggest we keep our guard up here.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
@CO: I would like that, however in light of recent event I doubt that Starfleet will go for that ma'am especially since I am just 2 month out of the academy...
CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@::Shrug:: we will deal with that when the times comes, until then Lt, congrats.
Host Ens_Cisab says:
XO: Where are we? ::Coughs::

CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Heads into the city and looks around for where she can sense McDonald or Cisab::
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@::looks in awe at the city::  CO/FCO:  You are not kidding.
CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@OPS/FCO: I'm guessing that’s where we need to go
OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@CO:  It appears so.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
@CO: No, ma'am, thank you ma'am, ::looks up:: OPS/CO: wow
XO-Cmdr-McDonald says:

@::closely follows the CO lead::
FCO_Ens_Huang says:
@:: starts running after the CO::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
CTO: Kevin I can sense his location. If you can cover I can get us there.
CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@::Tries to watch carefully as she runs::
CNS_LtJG_Selar says:
::Holsters her Tricorder and takes her phaser rifle in her hand::
Host Ens_Cisab says:

@<Sec_1> ::Fires phaser. ::
XO-Cmdr-McDonald says:
ACTION: the phaser from the security officer hits right beside the CTO

OPS_Cmdr_Ashworth says:
@FCO/CO:  Great.

::Here’s the explosions getting closer:: XO: I don't like the sound of that.
XO-Cmdr-McDonald says:
Cisab: Neither do I.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CO/OPS/FCO*: The CNS and I are on the move. I have taken out one of the towers and we are in a mine field heading toward the center of the city.
FCO_Ens_Huang says:

CO_Cmdr_Matisse says:
@FCO/OPS: Lets do it, lets run
