Host AGM_Selan says:
When she was a child her parents had taken her to Osery Park during the months of Egith to watch the Side Street Players perform their shows. Those had been magical evenings. To this day, she has not experienced anything like it in exception for a month ago when she and her parents revisited the park for yet another one of those shows.

Host AGM_Selan says:
Though it just wasn't the same, maybe it was her childhood memories that made it seem more exciting.  She is not entirely sure.

Host AGM_Selan says:
But now, fifteen years later she finds herself doing something different every night. Being part of the Raenia County Heatro Brigade charged with the job of stopping fires, both small and major where they might appear.  Some consider her and the Brigade heroes but she just considers them a typical working force.

Host AGM_Selan says:
That was, until the disaster.

Host AGM_Selan says:
At approximately 6:59 she had been eating with the rest of the Brigade in their main building when a horrible rumbling shook the windows apart, as the rest of the building remained intact.  At first they thought it had been a bombing, perhaps an attack by the so-called friends this "Federation" was going to be.  Then the reports came in.

Host AGM_Selan says:
Bridges were down all over from a quake.  The city had taken the brunt of it.  Brigades from all over were being called in to render assistance it seemed that the city was the most heavily damaged.

Host AGM_Selan says:
She and the others had leaped into their so-called "Heatro Vehicle" and moved at full speed for the city.

Host AGM_Selan says:
Their hope was to get over the Zi Bridge and into the Capitol Regions before the major fires started to consume the damaged areas.  She knew with Jetrel driving they would be there in no time.

Host AGM_Selan says:
That was two hours ago.

Host AGM_Selan says:
Broken roads, fallen trees and power lines, smaller fires, which had called for their attention had slowed them down quite a bit.  All the way, they could see the red haze in the distance.  A cold chill had crept up her spine and remained there the entire journey.  They knew it was going to be bad, very bad.

Host AGM_Selan says:
And when they finally got there, well, the tears kept on flowing.  Zi Bridge had entirely collapsed into the river those who had managed to get out of their vehicles and swam to the shore were being tended to by the Raenia Elite Guard and related medical personnel. They joined the countless growing groups of rescue vehicles gathering here.

Host AGM_Selan says:
There was no possible way across the river at this time and all they could do was watch. The skyline she had embedded in her mind all those Egith nights were devastated.  She knew in her heart there was no possible way that the city could come back from this.

Host AGM_Selan says:
A military officer came to them a half an hour after arrival.  He explained that they were getting as many ferries and boats as possible to traverse the river to both evacuate people out of the city and bring relief in.

Host AGM_Selan says:
The Aerial Defensive/Offensive Force had stated that the airspace was not clear and it probably wouldn't be clear until tomorrow.  By then, countless hundreds if not thousands would be dead.  So, she walked away from her fellow Brigade men, from the military officers and set on the bank with a clear view of the fallen bridge. 

Host AGM_Selan says:
The river was red and black.  She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head into them crying.  Then she fell asleep and dreamed of an Evening in the Park.

Host Adrianna says:
CSO: You were knocked out when we crashed earlier.

Host CO_Vakol says:

::Looks around and sees the shuttle wreckage and does not think there were any survivors::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Gives off huffs and puffs as he lies on the ground of the third floor:: Wh-what happened, wasn't that one of your vehicles?!

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Looks at the bloodstains on his spotless white dress uniform:: CMO: Doctor, you shouldn't have.

CSO_Raal says:
Adrianna: You wouldn't have any acedominafin hypos, do you?

$::Moves through the crowd, heading for the CNS::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the Captain, starting to get up::  CO: Ancient tradition of my people, we are blood brothers now?  ::Weak smile at the old joke::

Host Adrianna says:
::Blinks:: CSO: Have what?

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Suddenly notices the Counselor by her:: CNS: Oh, um...we're in the throes of triage, still.  I think we will be taking a long time here.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Shakes her head then turns and heads back into the building and up the stairs again::

CSO_Raal says:
Adrianna: Painkiller.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Leans back against a piece of furniture:: Huroc: Yes, one of our craft  destroyed by one of yours.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:10 - The survivor rate flooding into the triage center is overwhelming the Doctors and emergency workers from within the city, along with the four Starfleet personnel that are in over their heads.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Glances about:: All: What is our status?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Nods at the MO:: MO: You're doing a fine job here; keep it up. ::Spots the XO headed their way, and waves briefly to catch his attention, before bending down to begin treatment of another injured::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Looks out the window and sees the trail from the sky:: CO: The satellites.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Glances around the piece of furniture to see if the “nasties” are still there::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the third floor doorway and walks quickly back to the room::

Host Adrianna says:
CSO: Uhh…I'll check.  ::Looks around a compartment to the side of the door::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Finally reaches the CNS:: CNS:  We can't get through to the Captain and since we're still here, I'm assuming they haven't been able to contact the Paula Greene yet.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Yes, Sir.

Host Adrianna says:
::Pulls out a bandage:: CSO: This is all I found.  ::Weakly smiles::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Enters the room and sees the Doctor and Huroc are safe:: CMO: Doctor, are you all right?  

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Frowns:: Huroc: These satellites of yours are a distinct disadvantage.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Nods at the XO:: XO: And we've still got our hands more than full here with the injured.

CSO_Raal says:
Adrianna: Forget it!  A band-aid won't work.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Gets up brushing himself off::  CO: No kidding.  ::Looks out the window at the wreckage of the shuttlecraft::  I, I'm sorry.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Pulls out a bandage and wraps it around her hand, her vision blurred::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, a quick survey of the shuttle wreckage revealed no survivors.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Sees Ryan walk in:: CTO: Mister Ryan, secure this area.

Host Adrianna says:
::Puts the bandage away:: CSO: Sorry  I wish I had something that could….uh oh.

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: I will be fine, thank you.

CSO_Raal says:
Adrianna: Uh oh what?

Host Adrianna says:
::Pales slightly and gestures out the window::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Leaves the room and begins searching the other rooms on the floor::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Gets spattered with blood as she uncovers a bad wound::  Nurse: Arterial bleed.  ::Shouts across to the tent:: We got an arterial bleed over here, I need assistance!

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods and clasps Huroc on the shoulder:: Huroc: So am I, Minister. It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that I must advise against your membership in the United Federation of Planets.

CSO_Raal says:
::Looks out the car window::  Adrianna: You're right, uh oh.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Turns her attention to assisting Audrina::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:14 - Seven of the weirdly dressed men from the building are standing there outside the vehicle, all armed.  Three of them have their weapons raised and aimed.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Quickly covers the wound again::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Shakes head:: CNS:  I'm feeling a little bit powerless here.  

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Looks blankly at the CO:: CO: What,  w-why?  ::Shakes his head:: Never mind, something to worry about later I suppose.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Turns to the wounded:: CMO: Can you move?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Looks at the Captain uncertain where he came to that conclusion:: CO: Yes, I think so.  Nothing quick, mind you.  ::Tests her left leg feeling the strain::  I shall request R&R after this.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Still busy assisting the injured:: XO: I know, we're all feeling a bit helpless.  This situation...  ::Gestures around her:: is overwhelming.

Host Adrianna says:
<Weird Man One> ::Gets into the vehicle, weapon leveled at Adrianna as he ignites the ignition::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Completes searching the remaining rooms on the third floor then walks back into the room where the CO, CMO and Huroc are.  Walks to the window and looks out, gasping at what she sees::

Host Adrianna says:
<Weird Men Two-Five> ::Get into the backseat of the vehicle and point their weapons at the CSO::

Host Adrianna says:
<Weird Men Six-Seven> ::Disappear into an alley::

CSO_Raal says:
Weird Men: Uh, who are you guys?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, we've got a problem here.  ::Points out the window at the men standing outside the station wagon::

Host Adrianna says:
<Weird Man One> CSO: Shut up, we're taking this vehicle.  You're our prisoner.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Draws her phaser and aims it towards the men standing at the vehicle::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: CMO: As shall we all.  ::Goes to the window and looks out  sighs through clenched lips:: CTO: I think we can take them.

CSO_Raal says:
::Blocks out pain to use telepathy::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I can take them out from here, permission to fire?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:16 - The vehicle turns on and drives away with the FCO, CSO and Adrianna and the weird men inside.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Transmits his headache pain to the weird men::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Grinds his teeth:: Huroc: Did you recognize those men?

Host Adrianna says:
<Gothraic Man> $::Scratches head, where some dried blood is:: XO: Uhh…  maybe the nearly air station the military base at the south of the city too.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Too late!  They've taken the vehicle along with Raal, Baptiste and Adrianna!

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: Those are the men that attacked us in the building earlier.  ::Shakes his head as he sees the vehicle drive off::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Wonders who’s nightmare she had stepped into and if she could slip out any time soon::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: Captain, they might have been the ones who took the computer.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Tries to scramble the weird men's brains::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Sitting inside the car pressed against the door::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Pushes up against the door and with a wince, limps over to the window::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Turns on the Minister:: Huroc: In a more general sense  their garb, their weapons?

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Men Two-Five> ::Aren't affected by the CSO’s attempts::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Turns to the nearest Gothraic that seems to be calm.  :: Gothraic: You, don't you have any means to transport yourselves through the air?  If so, where can I find the nearest station of these vehicles?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Spots the CMO struggling to stand:: CTO: Assist the Doctor, please.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Perhaps we can search the wreckage of the shuttle for anything we can use?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Nods:: Gothraic: Do you know of anyone that can guide me there? ::Looks at him, scanning for any serious injuries::  Are you well enough to guide me?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Walks to the CMO::  Doctor: May I assist you?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: I've never seen that garb before.  They're using traditional rifles and hand-pieces.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$~~~Feels a prickle in the back of his mind~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
::Shakes her head::  CTO: That would not be wise, you need to be unhampered right now.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Focuses attention on the driver::  ~~~Weird Man One: Stop the car~~~

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Is slightly surprised by the voice in his head, nearly swerves them into a fallen building, swerves back in time:: All: Who said that?!

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Listening to the XO's conversation as she works; glances at the native, briefly assessing his condition::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Actually, Doctor this floor is secured.  What can I do to help?  ::Holsters her phaser::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Sighs deeply and pushes a lock of hair out of his face that has fallen out of position:: All: Who or what could possibly be trying to keep us from helping these people?

CSO_Raal says:
@::Keeps a poker face::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: I have no idea.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Sighs::  CTO: At the moment, just get me off this floor.  Stairs are not exactly a friend right now.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Presses his gun into Adrianna's forehead:: Did you say that?!

Host Adrianna says:
@::Beginning to cry:: N-n-no 

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird man one: You must stop the car.~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Squares off at Huroc:: Huroc: Are you sure about that, Minister?

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Screams out:: Who is saying that?!

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: Positive.

CMO_Biishe says:
CO: I believe I gave you a possible answer to that earlier.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man One: This is God~~~

Host Adrianna says:
$<Gothraic Man>  ::Passes out from his injuries::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Has trouble believing the Minister.  Considers a mind meld but decides against it::  Huroc: Very well.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks around for a chair and brings one to the CMO::  CMO: Here, Doctor.  Allow me to help you to this chair.  ::Bends down and helps the Doctor to the chair::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Stops the car abruptly::  Who or what is God?!

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Sees the native fall and tries to catch Audrina's attention:: MO: Another one needs help!

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man One: I am the Almighty!~~~

CNS_Richardson says:
$XO: It appears this man's in no condition to guide you anywhere.

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: What enemies do your people have?  Who would seek to cripple you like this?

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Looks back at the CSO who remains quiet:: CSO: Are you saying that?!

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Notices Richardson assisting a native:: CNS: What are his stats?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Sits down with a sigh::

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: Thank you.

CSO_Raal says:
@Weird Man One: Saying what?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: You believe that someone is responsible for this quake?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Shakes head:: OPS:  Come on, Lieutenant, we're heading south to the Military Base.  ::Takes out the ragged map from his uniform pocket and starts looking for the best way to get there::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: You're welcome, Doctor.  How is your leg?

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Turns the safety off on his gun:: CSO: Who is saying that or she dies?!!!

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: What I do not believe in, Minister, is coincidences.

Host Adrianna says:
@::Terrified::

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: Like the arm, strained.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: Coincidences?  What are you talking about?

CSO_Raal says:
@Weird Man One: I seriously don't know what you are talking about.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Checks the native's condition:: MO: I'll get him stabilized here.

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Is it broken?  ::Looks concerned::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> CSO: LIAR!

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Frowns:: Huroc: This is an inefficient use of our time.  Answer my question.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Men Two-Five> ::Look surprised, slightly freaked::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Calms Adrianna mentally::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Satisfied he found a way, starts making his way against the flow of people to the hospital and heads south, trying to find any kind of vehicle they can use to get there::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Okay, let me know if you need any assistance.  ::Works on the inside of a native, trying to repair him as best she can::

CMO_Biishe says:
CTO: No, just strained.  My muscles were not made to be dangling from windows with a large man hanging from my leg.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: I am not aware of any enemies on our world that would do something like this we are a peaceful planet, Captain.  We have always feared an attack from another alien race!

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man 1: Lower that weapon~~~  ::Sounding in a different voice:::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Feels slightly calm::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Watches as the XO sets off then turns her attention to the native:: MO: I have this one under control, I think.

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: What other race?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Nods:: CMO: Okay, just rest then.  I would offer you some water, but at the moment we don't seem to have any.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::Turns back:: CNS:  I'll be right back. ::Smiles::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Great work, Sir.  ::Not looking at Richardson as she continues to work::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Out loud:: No! ::Prepares to fire::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Nods:: XO: Promise? ::Grins, as he sets off::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Smiles::  CTO: That's okay, however….  ::Shows her hand where the blood has soaked through the bandage:: if you could do a better job with two hands than I did with one?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Calls after the OPS officer:: OPS: Keep him safe from the Nazis, okay?

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: We have no knowledge of any other races but those included in the Federation and we have hardly any data on your races!  We have feared an attack from other alien races if they existed ever since we entered into space!

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Men 2-5: Take his gun away~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::After he has cleared the crowd, he spots a vehicle and heads for it:: OPS:  Lieutenant, you're driving.  Please make a better job of it than last time. ::Smiles::

CTO_Ryan says:
CMO: Of course, Doctor.  ::Begins unwrapping the bandage and repositioning it::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Men Two-Five> ::Look around in surprise::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Sees this is getting them nowhere:: Huroc: Who would seek to gain from destabilizing your government?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Winces, uncared for, there will be a scar, but at least it did not cut through any tendons::

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Men 2-5: God commands you to take his gun away~~~

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: No one, Captain.  Everyone benefits from the government.  Now if there is someone out there who would gain something, I am not aware of them.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man Two> ::Calls out:: Who is God?

CMO_Biishe says:
CO: Captain, anyone who would object to our presence, those who fear the unknown.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Turns gun away from Adrianna for a moment:: Weird Man Two: You heard the voice too?

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc; It would seem to me that as the Chief Advisor to the Defense Council you know surprisingly little about those your planet needs to defend against.  I feel you are ill suited for your position.

CSO_Raal says:
@Weird Man 2: Oh, you're hearing voices.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:29 - The XO's vehicle slowly makes it way toward the air base.  Its journey is bumpy at best.  He encounters groups of frightened and fearful people, looters, etc.

CMO_Biishe says:
CO: Captain, easy.  ::Looks at Huroc::

CSO_Raal says:
@All Weird Men: God is a Terran deity.  It seems He might have followed our crew.  He likes to look over us.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Finishes rewrapping the bandage on the Doctor's hand:: CMO: Will that be okay, Doctor?

CMO_Biishe says:
::Closes her hand gently, then opens it::  CTO: Yes, thank you.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Getting angry with the CO:: CO: What are you going on about?  Ours is a united world!  We face no one threat from our planet other than what nature hurls against us!

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man 1: I am all powerful, all knowing and command you to relinquish that weapon~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Grins at the CMO then walks back to the window to peer out::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Growls:: CSO: Is that so?  So you have turned your deity against us?

CSO_Raal says:
@Weird Man 1: I didn't do anything of the sort.  He protects my crew.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Gets out of the vehicle, and starts looking for any air-worthy transportation:: OPS: Let's see what we have here.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Turns away from Huroc and glances at the Doctor:: CMO: There is nothing to concern yourself with, Doctor.  I doubt this man has the slightest clue of the actual workings of his planet.  ::Glances at look over his shoulder::  Huroc: Your united world just kidnapped my Chief Science Officer, Minister.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Starts up the vehicle again and drives further down a street then eventually reaches a place where the street has entirely caved in, turns and goes down another alley::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: There will always be those that fear change.  Reaching out to the stars is a large change.  It is nothing against you or your people.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man 1: Turn the car around~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
CO: Captain, you generalize and that is not logical.  ::Sighs::  What do you wish to do next?

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Goes to Ryan:: CTO: Do you think their is anyway to use our available technology to replace the missing terminal and disable the satellites in orbit?

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Looks up to see another wave of injured arriving, and sighs:: MO: I'm not sure this will ever end.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Is too busy in her work to notice what Richardson said::

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Weird Man 1: ::Again in a Godly voice:: You dare defy Me?  Turn the car around!~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: I believe we could attempt to reroute the existing circuitry and use the power pack from my phaser to activate it.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Screams out:: NO! I will not!

Host CO_Vakol says:
CMO: My logic is none of your concern, Doctor.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: CTO: Then lets get on it.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Captain::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Looks at the CO and nods then heads back to the control room::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Goes with the CTO back to the control room::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:34 - The "airfield" is the same one the CSO & CMO visited earlier.  It is devastated.  The copter like vehicles still capable of use, have already been taken.  Bodies, which were shot, lay nearby.

CSO_Raal says:
@Weird Man 1: Will not what?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Breaks down the door to the control room and enters, opening a panel under one of the consoles::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Really scared now, starts to cry again::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Growls in frustration::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Examines the leads from the missing terminal and sheers off a handful of damaged cables cleaning their connections::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Brings them to a somewhat still sturdy church of some sort, stops abruptly and exits to the passenger door where he drags the crying Adrianna out of the vehicle::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Laying on her back on the dirty floor of the control room, head stuck inside the panel. Looks at the circuitry and begins pulling wires and hooking them up in other locations::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Makes her way over to the latest arrivals and turns her attention to the most critical of them::

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Adrianna: Calm yourself.  We'll get out of this~~~

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Looks up into the air trying to locate any of the flying machines::

Host Adrianna says:
@::Hears the voice too, wonders if she is going crazy like the others::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Closes her eyes for a moment::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:35 - Several medical vehicles from a nearby hospital that was entirely demolished arrive at the CNS' location to assist.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Adrianna: It's me, Raal.  Don't tell them I'm doing this~~~

Host Adrianna says:
@::Looks at the CSO and says nothing::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Removes the power pack from her phaser and begins to hook it up to the console::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Looks up as the vehicles arrive and thinks to herself: Not more!::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Watches the CTO working and then moves over to a nearby window looking out on the devastation of the city::  Self: I find it difficult to believe that such a organized resistance could have been lying in wait for this disaster to occur before coming out of the woodwork.

CSO_Raal says:
@::In Godly voice:: ~~~Weird Man 1-5: Why did you bring them to My house?~~~

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:36 - The other weirdly dressed men forcefully remove the CSO from the vehicle, as other similarly dressed people exit the church.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&OPS: Lieutenant, try to find a Gothraic frequency that is not occupied.  When you find it, tune the communicators to it.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Feeling herself slip, decides that is not a good move.  Opens her eyes to look over at Huroc and sees an angry man::

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Angered at what the CO said earlier, leaning against a side wall::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Finishes the patient she's working on and moves over to the vehicles::

Host Adrianna says:
<Lead Man> @::Dressed slightly different than the others, but nonetheless weird, comes out::  ALL: Good work.  What have you brought Allasios and us?

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: The Captain voices his thoughts.  That does not mean they are everyone’s.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Looks out on the destruction of what was a vast metropolis and wonders how many lost their lives?::

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$::Looks up to see the vehicles approaching, squinting slightly through the light generated by the fires, hiding an expletive response to their arrival::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Looks inside each of the vehicles and calls out:: MO: Word of your good work has spread; more customers for you!  ::Starts directing the medical staff on the vehicles to unload the injured::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Calls out from under the console:: CO: Sir, try and activate this console.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Turns and moves over to the console attempting to activate it::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Slowly stands up and limps over to Huroc::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Thinks of something::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Checks the injured as they come off the trucks, directing the most serious cases to be moved to the MO's location::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> Lead Man: These are men of the so-called "Federation," they were helping Government Officials.

MO_van_den_Broek says:
$CNS: Put them into the emergency assessment tent, Counselor.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Looks around and finds the river:: OPS: Lieutenant, we only have one other choice.  ::Gets back to the vehicle and has OPS drive it to the nearest bridge::

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Hears the MO and nods, directing the injured be moved as instructed::

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~XO: Commander, help!  I've been taken hostage by rebels~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Continues to attempt to activate the terminal while the CTO works underneath it::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Wonders if he should speak up to the leader of this faction::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Watches as the others remove the still unconscious FCO and take him into the building.  Looks at the crying Adrianna and then walks over to the CSO::

CMO_Biishe says:
Huroc: Anger will get you nowhere.  You know your world.  Can you suggest a way that we can help?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Hears nothing::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:41 - The console activates, a Gothraic symbol appears on the screen.  It asks for an authorization code.

CTO_Ryan says:
::Mumbles from under the console::  CO: Acknowledged, Sir.

CSO_Raal says:
@::Looks at the leader::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Frowns at the authorization code but knows where he can get one and goes to the door:: Huroc: Please join us, Minister.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CMO: Only through your ship, I suppose but that's out of the question now I guess.  ::Looks at the CO as he asks for his presence and considers saying something but shakes the thought away and walks over::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Follows the man, shaking her head at everyone’s belief in the ship and not in themselves::

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: I am Lieutenant Kent Raal, Chief Science Officer, USS Paula Greene, Starfleet, United Federation of Planets, Service Number 981101017.

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: Your planetary computer system requires an authorization code before we will be able to view the information from the satellites in orbit.  ::Waits patiently as Huroc decides if he will assist or not:: Huroc: Please input your code.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: I see.  Why are you here, on our world?

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: I am Lieutenant Kent Raal, Chief Science Officer, USS Paula Greene, Starfleet, United Federation of Planets, Service Number 981101017.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: So you have said.  Why are you here?

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: I am Lieutenant Kent Raal, Chief Science Officer, USS Paula Greene, Starfleet, United Federation of Planets, Service Number 981101017.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: I don't believe you'll be able to view information on the satellites in orbit, Captain but you can gather information on what's happened here in the building prior to the computer's removal and statistics on the satellites, if you wish.   ::Inputs his code::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: Ah, this is some sort of military conduct.

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: Thank you for inputting your access code.  CTO: Mister Ryan, please get whatever information is available and see if you can input a self-destruct command.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
$::As they reach the river and see how wide it is, Tealk gets out of the vehicle and sits down on the ground, frustrated::

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: All I am required by the ancient Earth Geneva Accords of the early 20th century is to give my name, rank and serial number.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:45 - The console accepts the code and starts up a series of functions.  It gives the options for Satellite Telemetry [Offline], Satellite Statistics [Online], Status of Satellite Compound [Online], etc.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: Are you a killer, Mr. Raal?

CTO_Ryan says:
::Finishes attaching the phaser pack and pulls her head from inside the panel.  Stands and looks at the console::  CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps buttons on the console, reading the information displayed::

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: No.  I am a scientist.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Glances at the numbers, which tell her very little.  Turns and limps out of the room, checking around for anyone that may have been missed::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Goes back to the window letting the others examine the satellite information::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Gestures to the first weirdly dressed man who once again places a gun to the side of Adrianna's head::  CSO: You're about to be come a killer.  Tell me why you are here.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
@::Calms himself and closes his eyes, a bewildered OPS officer standing besides him and tries to meditate::

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: I wouldn't be killing her, you would be.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Adrianna: Don't worry~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Thinks his first mission in command of the Paula Greene has been an utter disaster::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: By not telling me what I want to know you're forcing that man to fire that weapon.

CNS_Richardson says:
$::Finishes unloading the last of the newly arrived vehicles and looks around with a sigh, realizing that it looks like they've barely made a dent in the patient load::

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: I am here love~~~

Host Adrianna says:
@::Bites back her tears trying to be brave::

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps buttons on the console inspecting all the directories, searching for files related to destroying the satellites::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&~~~Aurora: It's no use, everything we try, everything we do to try and help these people...~~~

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: First of all, I want to know who you are.  When you tell me, I'll tell you why my crew is here.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: Allasios has given us this day to claim what is rightfully ours.  I will not have you and your Federation interfering.  Tell me now.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&~~~Aurora: There's nothing we can do, there's nothing I can do~~~

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: Allasios is your God?

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: One life at a time.  No life lost is useless or a waste of our efforts~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Opens files, skims the data and continues::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: He is our creator.

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: So these actions are of a religious nature?

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:50 - What appears to be a dog rushes up to the XO and OPS barking.

CTO_Ryan says:
@::Opens a file and begins reading intently::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
~~~CMO: I am no Doctor, Auri and there are not enough people for me to direct~~~  ::Chuckles:: ~~~And my tactical training is useless here~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
::Reaching the outer room, notices blood on the floor near a door::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Raises his head, looking at the barking creature::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Has an idea::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:51 - The "dog" barks a few more times then rushes away toward some rubble apparently wanting them to follow.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: You do not have to be a Doctor or tactical to be of use.  I doubt those babies you saved will think less of you for not having those abilities~~~

CSO_Raal says:
@::In Godly voice:: ~~~Leader: This is Allosios!  Release the outsiders!~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Finishes reading the file and frowns::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Looks surprised for a moment:: Who said that?

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Gets up and heads to the rubble with the OPS officer in tow::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Weird Man One> ::Still has gun pressed against Adrianna's head:: Lead Man: Sir, we have been hearing weird voices ever since we left the Tech End building.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Pulls open the door to reveal a closet stuffed with bodies::  As if there have not been enough life lost as it is.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: This is Allasios!  Heed Me or face the consequences!~~~

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Suddenly considers something:: Oh of course!  Bring them inside, hurry!

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Watches some commotion in the streets below wondering what the crew’s next move will be.  At every turn they hit a dead end.  They spent so much time just trying to get here, losing members of their group along the way, only to have it end with a missing computer system::

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&~~~CMO: Thanks, Auri~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir?  ::Looks around for the Captain::

Host Adrianna says:
<Lead Man> @::Moves inside, as the others forcefully bring the CSO, Adrianna and the FCO inside the church building::

CSO_Raal says:
@::Is drug into the church building::

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Glances at Ryan:: CTO: Yes?

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~XO: Always~~~

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:55 - The dog barks at some rubble, the XO can hear some shouts in from underneath the rubble.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, according to these files the only way to destroy the satellites is to enter a self destruct code through the missing computer terminal or fire upon them from space, while at the same time preventing an automatic launch of a replacement satellite from the military compound.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Takes out his phaser and considers the option but decides against it.  Gets a piece of iron, melts it down with his phaser to form a crowbar and gets to work on the rubble::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Examining the bodies, discovers they have all been shot.  Thinks: One more piece to a puzzle that we have no clue to what it should look like?::

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: Why are you making this momentous time for your people to enter into a Holy War?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: We would need the proper command code to prevent the automatic launch of a new satellite.

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 10:56 - The inside of the church is weirdly built and decorated, some of the ceiling caved in and red hazy light filters in.

CMO_Biishe says:
::Stands up slowly and searches gingerly for any clues::

Host CO_Vakol says:
CTO: In other words, without the assistance of Gothraic military it is virtually impossible.  Huroc: Why has your military not responded to this disaster? I should be looking out this window seeing a city under martial law with hordes of troops assisting the wounded. I see none of that.

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> CSO: Because Allasios has had it written you and your Federation….you may not realize it, but you are Allasios' prophets!

CSO_Raal says:
@Leader: Prophets of what?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Actually, Sir we would need to secure the missing terminal and obtain the authorization code.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::Little by little starts removing the rubble::  Is anybody there?  Are you hurt?

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: They are My Prophets.  Prophets of peace!  Let them go!~~~

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CO: Captain, it's a military order.  First the airspace and the area around the city would have to be secured, this takes hours, while the internal city functions would attempt to render assistance.  If a base were placed in the city, they would dispatch units to secure the inside of the city.  But you are right, there should be troops in the city now, from our own base.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> ::Silently:: Something is wrong. 

CMO_Biishe says:
::Finding nothing, steps out and closes the door on their temporary tomb::

Host CO_Vakol says:
Huroc: I would suggest that your established plans are in error.

Host CO_Vakol says:
CTO: A suggested course of action, Lieutenant?

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Perhaps it is this civilization's military that is behind this disaster.  Huroc: Who is in charge of your military?

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Walks forward and kneels before a slightly tilted golden statue:: Oh Allasios, I hear your voice.  You tell us to let them go but how can we hear their word and why those of the Federation, why not your own children?

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: I work in mysterious ways~~~  ::Is going to have fun with this::

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: If the military is behind this, it would be logical to assume that the missing terminal is somewhere at the military compound.

Host CO_Vakol says:
::Nods:: CTO: Yes, it would be and with the entire crew of the Paula Greene attacking the base, we might manage to recover it.

CTO_Ryan says:
Huroc: Where is your military compound located?  ::Pulls her tricorder from her belt and flips it open activating it::

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Calls out:: Mysterious ways?  But why?  This makes no sense.

Host Adrianna says:
<Huroc> CTO: Just south of the city and is accessed by a singular bridge.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: I am known by many names.  To people like that Betazoid behind you and the unconscious human, I am known as God~~~

CTO_Ryan says:
::Taps her tricorder bringing up the map and studies it::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 11:02 - The XO manages to dig through the rubble and a hole can be viewed, an apparent basement level of a building is below.  A large grouping of people can be seen gathered.

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: And I have several other names for others who worship Me.  I brought them here to help your people join with others of My children through the arm of the United Federation of Planets~~~

CMO_Biishe says:
::Finishes searching the area, returns to her group::  CO: I found a few guards shot and stuffed into a closet on the main floor, but nothing else of use.

Host CO_Vakol says:
CTO: If you are suggesting the four of us assault the base, I am afraid I am going to have to refuse your course of action.  I will not start a full-scale war on the eve of these people's intergalactic peace.

Host XO_Amendoeira says:
&::A small tear rolls down his cheek:: All: Don't worry, we'll get you out of there.  ::Climbs into the hole along with the OPS officer, trying to help people up and out::

CMO_Biishe says:
::Catches the Captain words::

Host Adrianna says:
ACTION: 11:04 - The people are relieved at the assistance and begin to organize for an escape.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: Sir, it would only be two of us, the less the better.

CMO_Biishe says:
~~~::Sends support to her husband, trying to ease some of his sorrow::~~~

Host CO_Vakol says:
CTO: Yes, much more efficient, the two of us would be killed much more quickly than the four of us.

CTO_Ryan says:
CO: We would need to procure military uniforms in order to make it past the guards and move freely within the compound, infiltrate it, Sir.  ::Looks up from the map on her tricorder::

CSO_Raal says:
@~~~Leader: They are My messengers of peace~~~

Host Adrianna says:
@<Lead Man> ::Really confused by this::
