=/\= =/\= =/\= =/\= =/\= Begin Interlude: Dinner with Shinar =/\= =/\= =/\= =/\= =/\=

Host AGM_Selan says:
7:21 - "I'm hungry." Shinar states.

Host AGM_Selan says:
The female security officer who was sitting nearby looked up, "You said that earlier but you didn't get anything to eat."

Host AGM_Selan says:
"I lied.  I'm hungry now."

Host AGM_Selan says:
She stares at him, "You had your chance to eat. You chose to get clothing instead. One or the other."  Shinar glares, "I thought I was a guest, not a prisoner?  Here for my own protection.”

Host AGM_Selan says:
She says nothing for a moment. "Oh, come on!  It's not like I'm gonna make an escape.  They injected some weird gizmo into my arm. I'd be caught instantly."

Host AGM_Selan says:
Sighing, she holsters her phaser and stands up to the replicator ... "I thought the Chef would make me some food?"  Shinar points out, his new leather trench coat slipping over his legs. "The Chef's busy.  We're sort of involved in a crisis right now.” she says while tapping in codes for food. Shinar laughs.

Host AGM_Selan says:
"Oh come now ... a little shake and you guys go runnin'? You must have a dozen shuttles down there workin' with the Gothic--" she interrupts, "Gothraic."  "Whatever, people to fix everything."  The food replicates, she takes it out and goes over to the forcefield controls and taps in the commands to make a small hole appear in the security field.

Host AGM_Selan says:
"We're facing difficulties.” she says while pushing the food through the hole. Shinar stands and takes it, sits down and starts eating. "Fifficultires, eh?" he says, his mouth full of food.  It's obvious he hasn't eaten in a while.

Host AGM_Selan says:
She silently walks over to her chair and sits down, "Yeah."

Host AGM_Selan says:
Shinar chokes on some food, hits himself in the stomach and coughs it out, "Nice bread."  He sighs.

Host AGM_Selan says:
They sit there staring at each other, silence remains.

$::Setting up some makeshift beds for the wounded::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Slowly regains consciousness, opening her eyes.  Sits up, her right hand on her forehead.  Blinks::  CMO: Doc?  What happened?  ::Looks around::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:00 - The CO's team is near the remains of their now destroyed vehicle. The FCO & CSO are unconscious.  Huroc, Adrianna and the now conscious CTO stand with the CMO. The CO has gone off to look for a new vehicle.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Still providing triage cover at the entrance of the hospital::

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: You were knocked out for a bit.  You will be fine.  ::Gives her a hand up::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:00 - The XO's team is being thrust into the middle of the triage center.  Pure chaos reigns as screams and moaning are all that is heard. They are losing more than they can save.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Stands up after finishing with last bed and feels a might light headed::

Host Adrianna says:
::Rubs her arms looking at the collapsed bridge::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Takes a good look around at the improvised camp:: Medic: Excuse me, I'd like to talk to the Hospital's Supervisor.  Can you point me in his direction?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Slides out from the truck bed and stand::  CMO: Thanks, Doc.  ::Places her hand on her belt, looking for her phaser::  CMO: Where is my phaser?

MO_van_den_Broek says:

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Starts getting a bit of a headache from all the moaning around her, but keeps trying to stave the onslaught of injured::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:01 - The nurses listen to the MO's orders.

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: And where is the Captain?  ::Looks down at the FCO still unconscious on the truck bed::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lifts a hand to her forehead briefly::  CTO: I don't know.  If you will excuse me, I need to see to the CSO.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Helps a medic hurriedly rush an injured man toward the MO::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Continues with her work::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Looking around, walks back over:: CTO/CMO: Your CO should be back momentarily with a new vehicle.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Turns a bit unsteadily to check out the CSO::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Follows the Doctor and looks over at the CSO slumped over unconscious::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Makes his way to the building:: CNS, MO : You stay here and help.. I'll be looking for something to get in touch with the Captain..

CMO_Biishe says:
::Points off toward the distance::  CTO: Looking for some transportation.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Nods to Amendoeira and looks past him as he sees Owens running towards her with another injured person::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Bends down to the CSO with a sigh::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:03 - There is a shattering of glass near the CO's team and they spot looters rushing out of a somewhat steady store.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to look in the indicated direction:: CMO: I will try to catch up with the CO.  ::Stumbles off::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Looks up:: XO: Aye, Sir, we'll do what we can here. Owens is around somewhere, too.  ::Spots him coming their way::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:03 - A new vehicle pulls up near the CTO, the CO is driving.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: Owens, come with me.  ::Starts making his way through the crowd, heading for the Hospital Building.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns at the sound of a vehicle and sees the CO behind the wheel::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arrives at the MO::  MO: This one seems to have severe internal injuries Doctor.  ::Sets him down on the table::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:03 - It's similar to a 20th Century station wagon with enough space for the conscious ones in the front and space in the back for the CSO & FCO.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Positions herself next to the MO, assisting with the injured:: MO: How are you holding up?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the CTO leaving her with a sigh, then back to the CSO::  CSO:  We have got to get you to a hospital soon or you……  ::Finishes stopping the bleeding::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Looks over at the CO with his new vehicle::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$OPS: Okay, we'll take care of him, go with the Commander.  Medic: Medic!!!

OPS_Owens says:
$::Nods at the XO while trying to catch his breath::  XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Follows along::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Walks to the vehicle as it approaches:: CO: ::Raises eyebrow:: Nice vehicle, Sir.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Arrives at the entrance::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
::Nods to Richardson:: Medic: I need bandages and at least some form of antiseptic.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:05 - The Captain nods at the CTO and gives her the order to have the others get into the vehicle.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Do you happen to know where my phaser is?  

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:06 - The CO tosses the CTO her phaser, although he is somewhat reluctant to depart with it.

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: Please get into the vehicle.  I will see to the CSO and FCO.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Bends her attention to another injured native and then hears the MO:: MO: Keep working, I will see what I can find; we may have to make do with what we have at hand here. ::Looks at the ruins of the main hospital building::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Catches her phaser, checks the settings and places it back into her holster.  CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Grins and moves towards the truck::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Finishes swiftly all that she can do for the CSO and starts to stand, only to stop and fall back down::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: Shouldn't I help you move the CSO and FCO in?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Grabs a passing nurse:: Nurse: Excuse me, can you tell me if there was any communications equipment inside?  So you could keep in contact with your Shu..err...trucks?

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arriving behind the XO::  XO: I don't believe there is much left of the hospital, Sir.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:07 - Sirens are heard in the distance near the CO's team.  Fires can be heard raging, the roaring growing.  The city may soon be entirely ablaze.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Hears Richardson:: Medic: Okay we'll move him over on my count, one, two three ::They move the casualty to a more comfortable area::

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Nurse>  XO: I-I'm not sure.  ::Has blood covering her clothing::

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: If you are able, yes.  ::Grabs the FCO by the feet and slides him half way out of the truck bed.  Picks him up and carries him to the back of the vehicle::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: No matter, we have to help, as soon as we find a working communications device.  Nurse: Very well, carry on.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Moves to get the CSO and moves him to the back of the vehicle::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Doesn't wait for the XO and moves into the building in search of anything useful::

Host Adrianna says:
::Rubs her shoulders and follows behind::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Lifts her head at the sound of the sirens and notices the smoke is getting thicker::  Huroc/CTO/CO: We need to leave here now and try to get a message out to clear the city.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Follows Owens in and starts searching the nearby rooms for communication devices::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Places the FCO in the back of the vehicle and closes the tailgate::  CO: Who is driving, Sir?

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man>  ::Rushes up to the CNS, tugging on her arm:: CNS: Please, PLEASE! You've got to help me!!!

OPS_Owens says:
$::Stepping over debris he notes an emergency-type room and enters it::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Agreed.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:19 - The CO informs the CTO that he is driving, as he is already behind the steering wheel and after what just happened with the CSO driving after all.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: I believe all the external bridges collapsed during the quake but the tunnels might be operative.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$Owens: Owens, how are you feeling?  Are the Nazis around?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::About to wander off in search of supplies, when the man stops her; she turns her attention to him:: Sir, please, we're doing what we can, the most severely injured first; what is it you need?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Gets into the shotgun seat and motions for Huroc to get into the back seat::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Slowly climbs back to her feet and walks over to the vehicle::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: What happened to communication?

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man>  CNS: My family, they're in my car.  Something fell on the car. You've got to help me!!!  ::Begins to drag her in the direction of a nearby vehicle::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: The only way we're going to be able to communicate with anyone is if we get to the Tech End Building.  ::Gets into the car::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Realizing that Tealk is conscious again her mind moving sluggishly:: ~~~XO: Tealk, we need to clear out the city~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Notices seatbelts in the front seat and straps in::  CO: Ready, Sir.

OPS_Owens says:
$::At the words of the XO he feels some sort of confusion...  not sure if that is a normal statement or not::  XO: Ah Sir??  I don't believe so...  ::Sounding bewildered at the thought::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the Captain for his agreement on this::

Host Adrianna says:
::Gets in as well, sitting beside Huroc and the CMO::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Looks at the chaos around her, torn between those injured lying around and the man's plight; she follows along with him, torn::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Gestures, seeing that the rubble of a building hasn't entirely taken up the road:: CO: That way.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Shrugs and moves toward a supply closet opening it::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Smiles:: Owens: Glad to have you back, Lieutenant.  ~~~Aurora: We need coordinated efforts to do that, Love.  Not until we can contact the Paula Greene can we even start to think about such a task~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Grabs a hold of the dash, bracing herself as the CO floors the gas pedal::

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man> ::Runs ahead of the CNS, to the vehicle, a large boulder-sized piece of a building has fallen on it.  It's entirely crushed.  Blood spills out from under, it's obvious that no one survived the impact::

CNS_Richardson says:
$Gothraic Man: Do you think they are still alive?  ::Looks at the wreck of the car::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Wonders what the XO’s comment meant::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Stares at the wreckage and the loss of life; she stops::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:12 - The CO drives along, the vehicle shaking from rolling over the large cracks in the ground.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: If we don't get out of the city and the people with us, there will be no one for the Paula Greene to worry about that.  You need to stop thinking in terms of our technology.  People of the past had to deal with this sort of disaster and make due with very little.  Think in those terms~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Rides along with the bumps::

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man>  ::Continues to try and dig out the car:: CNS: PLEASE! Help me!!!

CTO_Ryan says:
::Reaches over and turns the knobs on the radio::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$OPS: Lieutenant, start taking these supplies out there, they need all they can get.  ::Picks up a strange looking flashlight and starts fiddling with it::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Moves to the man, her heart breaking at what she must convince him of:: Gothraic Man: Please, it is hopeless; no one could have survived this.  ::She kneels beside him and ineffectually starts to clear away what she can, trying to find the words to convince him::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Finds some surgical gloves and operating equipment::  XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Leaves stepping over and around debris::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~Aurora: How do you propose we tell everyone to get out of the city or how do we manage to get everyone out?  The bridges are probably all destroyed~~~

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:13 - The radio comes on.  At first there is static then the CTO catches onto a local signal, "Most of the external bridges are cut off, the military and local relief agencies are leaping into action.  Fire brigades have already arrived at the outer sector to stop the fires there, although it is feared that many of the city's -- "

CNS_Richardson says:
$::She stops and takes him by the shoulders:: Gothraic Man: They are gone; there is no way they could have lived. I am sorry.  There are others we must help.

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Where are these tunnels?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Moves deeper into the building, calling out:: Hello?!?! Anyone here?

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man>  ::Brushes the CNS aside:: CNS: No, no, no!  They're alive! THEY'RE ALIVE!  Don't worry, Lisan, I'm coming, I'M COMING!

CTO_Ryan says:
::Listens to the news reports from the local government agencies::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:15 - No response to the XO's call.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: We can use the underground system.  Most cities have them~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Stands and steps back from the car, staring at the man::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Finds a stairwell going up and climbs it, looking for any survivors::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arrives back into the courtyard handing the equipment to some personnel when the voice of the frantic man catches his attention::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: Toward the northern, western and southwestern regions of the city but we need to reach the Tech End building.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Rushes over to the Counselor and the car::  CNS: Anything wrong Counselor?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::She turns and starts back to those she can still help, blinking back the tears::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods:: Huroc: What is this Tech End building?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Shakes his head:: ~~~Aurora: Love, even if we managed to contact everybody, panic would settle in on those tunnels when everyone tried for them.  For now, it is best to leave them where they are.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:16 - The CO's new vehicle passes by several people who are gathered outside a slightly caved in, what looks to be a church. They all seem to be praying.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Frowns::  ~~~XO: We are already dealing with panic~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks on at the people on their knees outside the partially collapsed church::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Shakes her head:: OPS: There is nothing..... let's help these people.  ::She kneels down beside another injured person but glances toward the man:: His family was in that car.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: There are satellites that surround our planet, our prime defensive system against an invasion.  If someone were to attack any main city, our defensive satellite network would be activated. It would jam all frequencies, which are not specifically made Gothraic frequencies, thus disrupting any coordinated attack plans.  We didn't take into account something like this happening.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Takes a deep breath:: ~~~Aurora: Very well, get to the nearest radio station and have them broadcast that people should leave the city through the underground tunnels.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Turns away:: OPS: We need to help those we can. We can't help him.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Looks at the Counselor then back at the car, pauses a moment before bending down to assist::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: We are headed there to try and deactivate the satellites and open the COM with the Paula Greene.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Opens another door, finding the room empty:: Hello? Anyone here?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods:: Huroc: But we can still make use of it.  Besides, this is an attack.  We do not believe this is natural at all.

Host Adrianna says:
::Brings her knees up to her chest and holds herself, biting back tears at the fallen buildings all around her and the small fires that burn stores she remembers going to as a child::

OPS_Owens says:
$CNS: Have you had an opportunity to assess their injuries yet?  ::Pointing at those on the ground::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: How much further before we get there?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: What do you mean?

OPS_Owens says:
$::Begins pressing his fingers into areas of one of their torsos to assess for broken bones::

CNS_Richardson says:
$OPS: Some will live, others.... we can only do what we can to save them.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns as the CMO mentions "attack":: CMO: Yes, Doctor, what do you mean?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Glances out the main windshield at one of the few buildings that received little damage in the quake::  There it is.  It was built to withstand a 10,000-megaton uko blast.

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: We received a message concerning some sort of prophecy of doom leading to those capable of power taking over the city or something like that.  ::Puts a hand to her throbbing head::  Adrianna: Adrianna, do you remember exactly what was said?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$Climbs another flight of stairs and starts seeing rubble all around:: Hello?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:20 - The CO maneuvers onto a side street as the main road has collapsed into the sewer system ahead, he moves down.

OPS_Owens says:
$CNS: I wish we knew what a normal pulse is on this race.  ::Feeling the pulse on one of their wrists::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:20 - The XO can hear the crying of babies nearby.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Prophecy of Doom?::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Frowns:: ~~~Oh no!~~~  ::Rushes to where he is hearing the crying from::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc/CTO: There was also the fact of the sudden burst of some energy pointed to the Paula Greene and our being unable to contact the ship after that.

CNS_Richardson says:
$OPS: True, this is not the best of circumstances. I hope the MO is having better luck than I am.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Quirks his eyebrow:: CMO: Really?  That's peculiar.  Then again, many religious groups may view this quake as some sort of doom-harbinger.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: My husband, something is wrong?~~~

Host Adrianna says:
::Shakes her head:: CMO: I can't remember.  It's pretty much what you said.

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Hmmm.......interesting theory, Doctor.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Finishes up the patient she is working on and moves to the next::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: That was not the impression we received when listening to the message, nor would they respond to our request for more information.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Hurries to what he thinks is the Neo-natal room:: ~~~The babies! They left behind the babies!~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
Adrianna: What was the name of this prophecy?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:22 - The XO discovers a nursery.  The sidewall has fallen away and the XO can partially see the tattered Raenia City skyline.  Several areas of red and orange can be seen, the flames reflecting off the smoke.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Glances up in the direction the MO is working to assess how she is doing::  CNS: She seems to have her hands full over there

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Never the less, we cannot do anything without the assistance of the Paula Greene and we can't contact them with those satellites active.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Groans::  ~~~XO: We are nowhere near you nor going to you.  Be careful and good luck~~~  ::A tear finally falls::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:24 - The babies in the nursery are seemingly safe, their booths having slid over to the side in the quake.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Smiles grimly:: OPS: Good, it will be good for her to stay busy right now and this is her calling.

Host Adrianna says:
CMO: I-I've never heard of this prophecy before, so I don't know.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Gulps and enters the room, carefully moving to avoid stepping into false floor:: ~~~ Aurora: Don't worry, Love, I will get them, for ours~~~

OPS_Owens says:
$::Wraps some thick cloth around a woman's torso to support broken ribs::  CNS: Has she not been fairing well through all of this?

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: Stop thinking in those terms.  We can try to reach them but we need to think of the possibility that we won't be able to.  ::Swallows hard::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:25 - The CO's vehicle passes by three, what appear to be, fire trucks.

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: I prefer to think positive, Doctor.  All we can do is try.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:25 - The fire trucks appear to be useless as the "firemen" stand around and watch a building to go down in flames ... all main water mains were shattered in the quake.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Starts pulling the carts from the room to the corridor, one by one::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Considers:: OPS: She's faring as well as any of us, I suppose.  And she's managing it well now, as are you.  ::Smiles again and moves to another patient::

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: Exactly, but that requires you think in other terms.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:26 - And then, a further drive down the block and the CO's vehicle arrives at the Tech End building.

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Here?  Do you have the codes to deactivate these things?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ALL: We're here.  ::Gets out::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::While in the room, keeps close to the walls, where the floor should be more solid::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Steps out of the vehicle and moves to the doorway of the Tech Building, motioning for Huroc to follow::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: Yes.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Climbs out, her eyes going black for a moment at her sudden movement::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Heading over to the 5th cart::

Host Adrianna says:
ALL: Should I stay with them? ::Gestures to the CSO and FCO in the far back of the vehicle::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Nods curiously at the Counselor's statement::  CNS: I hope Commander Amendoeira is okay.  I left him in the hospital alone.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Stops at the doorway and looks to Huroc::  Huroc: What kind of security system do you have installed in the building?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 9:27 - The CO gets out with the others, looking up at the large building as well.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks back at the two in the car::  Adrianna: if you would, please.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Considers:: OPS: The building looks shaky, at best.  I'm not sure it’s safe for any of us to be inside there.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Pulls the 8th cart out::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Finishes up splinting a child's leg with some wood::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Follows with the others::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Starts putting babies together, three by three and moving the empty carts out of the way::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Moves up to the front with the CTO:: CTO: Power's out.  I don't think any security system would work.  ::Moves to open the door and finds it is already opened::

Host Adrianna says:
::Nods and stays behind with the unconscious ones::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Pushes a strand of hair out of her eyes and straightens up for a moment, her eyes searching the crowd for signs of the MO::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: If that is the case, then I hope your systems are still operational.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Watches as the door opens then pulls Huroc back and enters the doorway into the building, drawing her phaser as she enters::

OPS_Owens says:
$CNS: Well in that case, I think it would be best if I went looking for him.  ::Waits for an acknowledgment from the CNS::

Host AGM_Selan says:
ACTION: 9:30 - The main lobby of the building is quiet and dark. The moonlight provides a dimmed view of the room.  All the windows have shattered, so moonlight filters in from there as well.  The building is seemingly abandoned.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Brings out the last cart and looks at the 4 carts with 3 babies each::

Host Huroc says:
::Looks around as he enters behind the CTO::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Nods, somewhat absentmindedly, as her eyes continue to search for the MO:: OPS: While we could use you here, I'd feel better if the XO were out of that building, certainly.

Host Huroc says:
::The CO follows behind the CMO watching their backs::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves slowly, deeper into the building, turns to Huroc:: Huroc: Was this building occupied by any personnel?

Host Huroc says:
CMO: As do I, Doctor.  ::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: It should have been.  But they might have evacuated after the quake.

Host Huroc says:
::The CO gives the order for the CTO to take point for the nearest staircase if she can find one::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Listens intently for anyone::  CTO: I am not security, but considering the power of this building, would they have just abandoned it?

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: My thoughts, exactly, Doctor.  All: Stay behind me just in case there are still personnel in here defending the building.  ::Moves slowly::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Pulls the 4 carts down the corridor, until he reaches the flight of stairs, while looking for some sort of turbolift all the way through::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Spots the MO, working at some distance from her; studies her for a moment::

Host Huroc says:
::Moves along as well, hearing the CO's orders:: CTO: That way.  ::Gestures to a nearby door, which is labeled for a staircase::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Is extremely busy with triage duty::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods at Huroc and heads for the door::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Enters the building and calls::  XO: Commander Amendoeira!  Can you hear me, Sir?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Quietly:: CTO: You should know, I have no weapon beyond a dagger nor am I in any shape to fight anyone.

Host Huroc says:
::Still pretty much amazed the building held out, considering what happened to the rest of the city::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Sees that Audrina is holding up as well as she can under these circumstances and nods slightly to herself, before returning to work at the next patient::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Leaves two carts behind and pushes the carts to the stairs, with him in tow and allows them to descend slowly, him descending step by step, holding the carts so they don't fall::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:33 - Sirens blare outside the Tech End building as an ambulance flies by to where is unknown.

Host Huroc says:
::Enters into the stairwell with the others::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Understood, Doctor.  Stay close behind me, do not stray from the group.  Huroc: Do you think we should call out to anyone still here, alerting them we are here to help?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Hears Owens:: Owens: Owens, third Floor!  Get up here!

OPS_Owens says:
$::Searching around frantically::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Begins to ascend the staircase::

Host Huroc says:
CTO: I don't know if anyone would hear you. If anyone were still here, they wouldn't retreat to the upper floors.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Follows close, but not so close to hamper fighting should the CTO need to::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Perks his head up at the sound of his voice::  XO: On my way, Sir.  ::Darts up the stairs thinking he really has to loose some weight::

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: But maybe they are injured and require medical attention.

Host Huroc says:
CTO: Maybe.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$~~~Aurora: Found them.  They are safe now~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: What do you think, Doctor?  Shall we call out to anyone still here?  ::Continues up the staircase::

Host Huroc says:
::Looks around as they ascend to the third floor::  CTO: This is where the satellites would be controlled from.  ::Gestures to a nearby door while the CO jumps over a hole in the staircase::

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: Thanks love~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Works her way on to the next of the injured::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods to Huroc and tries opening the door to the third floor::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arrives on the third floor, bends over panting heavily trying to catch his breath::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:35 - The door easily flies open revealing a semi-dark corridor.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Finishes the first flight of stairs and almost bumps into Owens:: OPS: There are two more carts up these stairs, help me get them down.

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: I am for going towards the units we need to send out a signal, one being to the ship.

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Agreed.  ::Motions to the group to stay put then enters the darkened corridor, phaser at the ready.  Follows the corridor to the right, slowly moving::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Staggering slowly towards the two remaining carts trying to keep his legs from giving out beneath him::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Starts down the second flight of stairs::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stays close to the walls::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:36 - The various doors in the corridor have all been opened, some revealing offices.  Before the CTO at the end of the corridor are two large sliding glass doors, she can see beyond it a command center of some sort. There are labels on the doors, in Gothraic, which she can't read.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Finishes the stairs and heads out into the triage area::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks into the open doorways as she makes her way to the end of the corridor and motions for the others to follow:: Huroc: Ss this the control room?  ::Points to the glass doors::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Checks each room she passes, seeing them empty.  Walks with the steps of a wolf if a bit slower then normal::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Grabs the two carts noticing three small infants in each and thinks: Oh just wonderful::

Host Huroc says:
::Follows behind, the CO right behind him.  Catches up with the CTO:: CTO: Yes.  The doors are electric, we'll have to pull 'em open.  ::Moves to one side::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Pauses behind the group::  Huroc: What does it say?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Comes out into the open and looks for the least hurt people around.  Approaches them with the carts::

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: Acknowledged.  ::Takes the opposite side of the doors and pulls::

Host Huroc says:
::As he pulls:: CMO: What does what say?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Steps back for the others to open the doors::  Huroc: The label on the door.

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:40 - The doors easily slide open.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Carefully maneuvers to the top of the stairs pausing and taking a deep breath before continuing down::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Sees the doors slide open and thinks: This is almost too easy.  Enters into the control room and looks at the control panels::

Host Huroc says:
CMO: Satellite control.  ::Enters and looks around::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$People: Excuse me, could you please take care of these babies?  The nurses are very busy and we need to keep searching for survivors inside the Hospital.  Could you tend to them?

Host Huroc says:
::Gasps:: It's gone!

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods and waits for all to enter::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Gone?

Host Huroc says:
::Rushes over to a table that looks like something would have been hooked up to it::  It's gone!!!

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at Huroc:: Huroc: What is gone?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at Ryan and the CO::

Host Huroc says:
CTO: The main computer for the satellites.  We can't control them without it! SOMEONE took it!

CMO_Biishe says:
::Leans back against the wall::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Pauses on a small landing before continuing down the next flight of stairs cooing at one of the babies::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: There is no back up system?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Moves to the next patient and realizes this one is dead: moves on again::

Host Huroc says:
CMO: No, there isn't.

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: Is there another way?  Reroute systems and power perhaps?

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Illogical.

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:43 - Some Gothraic people come over and help with the babies.

Host Huroc says:
CTO: No, not without the computer.

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Can you tell if someone is controlling those systems now?

Host Huroc says:
Self: But who could have gotten into the building?

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arrives outside handing the children to a couple nurses::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:44 - Weapons fire rings out in the Tech End building.  The glass doors behind the CO's team shattering, three men are opening fire at them.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Darts back to the Hospital building, passing by Owens:: OPS: Have someone take care of the babies, them follow me.  I'm going through the lower floors looking for survivors.  I've already gone up to the third, so, look from there upward.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Eyes wide open, keeps her back against the door::

Host Huroc says:
::Ducks as bullets ricochet all over the place::

CTO_Ryan says:
All: Get down!  ::Moves to the side of the doors behind a wall and returns fire::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Is there another way out of here?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Catches the hint of fear coming from his wife, but keeps on his task::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:45 - One of the CTO's phaser blasts takes down one of the three men, the other two stop firing and take cover for a moment.  The Away Team manages to spot a glimpse of them, they're Gothraic, but weirdly dressed. They're dressed like the men the XO's team earlier encountered, but the CO's team wouldn't know that.

CTO_Ryan says:
Attackers: Hold your fire!  We are here to help you!

Host Huroc says:
CMO: Yes. ::As more bullets are fired::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Stairs at the back of the XO's head as he runs by thinking why he is the one who has to do all the stair work::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks to the Captain for orders::

Host Huroc says:
::The CO asks Huroc where the other exit is::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Already up to the third floor, starts sweeping the building rooms for more people::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:45 - The attackers press their attack, not responding.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Returns fire at the attackers::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Glances out the door making note of the uniform, then moves toward Huroc to follow::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:45 - Phaser blasts missed their mark this time.  One bullet grazes the CTO's hand.

OPS_Owens says:
$::Begins climbing the stairs to the fourth floor tinkering with his Com badge trying to link it to the planets communications system::

Host Huroc says:
::Begins to crawl toward an exit on the other side of the room. Whispers:: ALL: This way!

CTO_Ryan says:
AGHH!!!!  ::Continues to return fire::

Host Huroc says:
::The CO asks the CTO if she's ok and asks her to provide cover fire if possible::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: After we are out of here... it would be nice to know who is firing at us ::Follows on hands and knees, glancing at the CTO::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I’m all right, Sir!  Get them out of here!  ::Glances over at Huroc and the others as they follow Huroc, staying behind to cover them::  All: Go! Go! Go!  ::Continues cover fire::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Arrives on the fourth floor trying frequency after frequency::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::As Owens catches up to him, they start searching together.  Finding nothing, they move up to the fourth floor.  Some walls have crumbled and some rooms have been destroyed, crushed by the rooms above it::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:50 - They all make a run for the other door.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Moves quickly to the other side of the door, firing her phaser as she crosses the doorway::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:50 - Shots are fired after them, but they miss.

Host Huroc says:
::Rushes out into another corridor::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Pears into a few rooms as he passes them continuing to tinker with the COM. badge::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Follows behind, her heart beating double time::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Sighs as he reaches the collapsed stairway leading up:: OPS: That’s it, no more.  ::Sighs::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:51 - Shouts follow the shots, they can hear the others pursuing.

Host Huroc says:
::The CO asks Huroc where the nearest stairwell is, Huroc leads them in that direction::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Notices OPS fiddling with his COM badge:: OPS: What are you up to, Owens?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Turns to see the others have made their escape, fires another round of phaser shots then turns headed towards the exit::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:52 - As they come by a shattered window a brilliant light shines in. Suddenly what appears to be a heavily damaged shuttlecraft from the Paula Greene hovers before them.

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: Phaser the door shut!

CTO_Ryan says:
::Exits into the corridor and shuts the door.  Aims phaser at the lock and fires::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Nods and quickly follows after the others::

Host Huroc says:
<Shuttle One> ::On speakers:: COM: Tech End Building: Captain Vakol! Prepare to board, we're maneuvering in for you to hop on!

Host Huroc says:
::Looks in shock at the shuttlecraft::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Looks up at the XO absent mindedly::  XO: I'm trying to bypass my COM badge through the Gothraic communications system hoping I can find the right frequency where we can at least talk with each other and hopefully the Paula Greene.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks out the window in surprise::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Runs towards the rest of the group, turning her head back to see if the attackers are in pursuit::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Smiles and pats Owens on the shoulder:: OPS: Very good.  Proceed, we need to get outside.  ::Heads for the lower floors::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Finds the rest of the group looking out a window at the shuttlecraft.  Thinks: It’s about time!::

OPS_Owens says:
$::Looking as though he is going to drop to the floor from exhaustion he reluctantly follows the XO back toward the stairs::

Host Huroc says:
ACTION: 9:55 - Suddenly, as if a spear from the heavens, a missile fired by the orbiting satellites, which had already damaged the shuttle when it tried to get through the barrier comes down hard and slams the shuttlecraft.  It explodes, killing the Paula Greene personnel onboard and sending the CMO and Huroc falling out the window.
