TO_Tigger says:
::Looks to his Senior and nods.:: CTO: Shall I bring up the rear guard sir?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am. 
TO: That would be fine. Just make sure that if anything other than us moves, you nail it.

CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Self: you can say that again
TO_Tigger says:
::Stops a moment and scans from side to side, thinking he's read something on the tricorder.  Then continues on again, hoping it wasn't anything.::
Host Phil says:
It may not be the mission we started out on. I suspect SF knew other things were going on here.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
Self: Good old boys at Starfleet ::shakes her head::
Host Phil says:
You need to find the delegation, I suspect they were federation funded smugglers, getting weapons to the splinter group.

Host Phil says:
Get them out if you can, or confirm there deaths, and get the hell out of here.

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Hears the beep of his tricorder and looks at it to confirm his findings.:: *CO*: Captain, I'm picking up life signs about 100 meters ahead of my position. One Cardassian and one Human for sure, the others are just out of range, or I can't read that far. I'll stand by until you arrive.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Silences the tricorder.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CTO*: Lets get in for  a closer look, take your TO and go.
TO_Tigger says:
::Pauses in his tracts.:: Self: What? ::Taps on his tricorder.:: Oh yes!
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:

Host Phil says:
Action: Lt. Ashworth peeks through the burst to see several Cardassians and one human that appears to be a prisoner. Several crates of what appear to be weapons are stored about the small camp.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
TO: Let's see what we can see.
TO_Tigger says:
::Nods to his Chief, but continues with scanning the entire area now.::

::walks with the CMO nearly tripping over her feet::
TO_Tigger says:
::Nods as he continues to monitor the entire area.:: CTO: Checking the area sir. ::Taps on his tricorder.:: Still nothing else yet.
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CO*: Captain, we found one Human, several Cardassians, and a cache of weapons. Orders?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
TO: Be sharp.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CTO*: What are the chances you can free them, and do you have any hand nades on you....
TO_Tigger says:
::Looks to his Chief and nods.  Then moves over to a better defensive position while still scanning the area.::
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
CMO: how did you handle the bodies, are they able to be picked up later?
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CO*: Yes I do, but whatever else is out there is gonna come and wipe all of us out if I use one. I suggest that we cover each other and make them think they're outnumbered.
Garengek says:
::standing with the CMO wondering what the blazes is going on::
TO_Tigger says:
::Smiles at the CTO's recommendation as he is familiar with that tactic.  Then continues with monitoring the area with his tricorder and eyes.  He stops to scan a position that could be used as an attack point, but continues when his tricorder doesn't give an readings of that position.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
*CO*: At current the TO and I are outnumbered 2 to 1.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CTO*: Negative, set your hand nads on a timer, and put them in the caches.  Do your best to get the prisoners, then make a run for it, use the nades and weapons as a diversion.  We will start to head back, you need to catch up.  Understood?
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
CO: Shallowly covered.  Awaiting extraction to be taken to medical examiner.
CO_Captain_Matisse says:
*CTO*: Your tactical, this is your field.  You have your orders

Host Phil says:
Action: A couple Cardassians recover and begin firing at the CTO as he runs.
TO_Tigger says:

TO_Tigger says:
::Shoves the prisoner forward, towards the others.:: CTO: Give the word sir! ::Shields the prisoners and his Chief as they double time it out of the prisoner camp.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
TO: The word is given. Let's make tracks.
CMO_LtCmdr_Aria says:
Garengak: Stop.  CO: Captain, he's running ::Points toward the foliage after Garegnak.::
CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
Prisoner: Let's get you to a safer location.

::Laughs at himself and their very dangerous situation as it's his way of dealing with such.:: Prisoners: That way!  Hurry if you want to live! ::Points towards the Away Team.::
Host Phil says:
Action: Tigger looks up to see those familiar eyes light up and disappear into the trees, before a shot blasts through his prisoner and burns his  vest knocking his the ground.

CTO_Lt_Ashworth says:
:: Sees the TO's prisoner fall and sees the smoke coming off the TO's  jacket.:: All: Take cover now. :: Lunges for a copse of trees.::

::Sees Tigger fall and rushes to his side and checks for a pulse at the carotid artery.::
