::Hears the shoots and feel's the urge to engage the enemy on a glorious battle.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at display.:: CO: Permission to engage evasive maneuvers?

CTO_Senek says:
::Fires wildly at the Gorns on the top of the tank.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Of course. They have good targeting systems linked to the sensors.

CIV_Deimon says:
Self: Holy! ::Pulls the trigger accidentally of surprise though sending another shot right on target.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Certainly.

::Brings his turret around.:: FCO: You might wanna back us off in the next 5 seconds!

CTO_Senek says:
::Almost falls off the tank.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Falls to the floor.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Fires at 4.::

EO_Z`heta says:
*CO*: Ma'am, there's a way to repel boarders, but CTO would have to get inside and comm would be temporarily off.

FCO_Durron says:
::Is jolted from chair stands and punches throttle to max.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Gets up and climbs quickly down the ladder.:: EO: Then let us not do that yet. Be ready to implement it at my order. CEO: Excellent work.

FCO_Durron says:
::Sits back down and attempts to figure a way out of the chaotic mess.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Base* What is you status?

CSO_Sketek says:
::Getting up again.::

CO: Understood, captain! ::Opens a plank and starts preparations to divert power if and when needed.::

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The Gorn tank fires at point blank range... sending the tank backwards 10 feet and destroying the repulsorlifts, the industrial strength treads activate and crush a few Gorn infantry as the tank lands.

Host Col_Paladin says:
<Base>*CO* We are fine, the battle is evenly matched.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CTO*, CIV: Target that tank and fire all out.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Repulsorlifts out.  We are using treads... I think.

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: See what you can do to get the hover function back.

CTO_Senek says:
::Keeps firing at the Gorn infantry.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO:I just did!!! ::Fires again.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Keeps her hold on the edge of the panel in case they get hit again, and continues her monitoring of communications.::

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: Right on it, ma'am.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Go back and see if you can help EO. I'll take over here.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The CTO blasts some of the infantry as the CIV destroys the Gorn tank making a huge pile of junk.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Base*: This is Captain Kalla of the USS Andromeda we are approaching with relief forces.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Opens the floor plank and uses his tricorder to read the repulsor’s status.::

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: Federation Marines and Gorn troops are fighting in the jungle.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: Yes ma'am. ::Jumps from her seat and goes to the back of the tank to help the EO.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Opens another channel.:: *Paladin* Status!

::Tries to steer his fire away from any places with federation marines.::

CEO_Rogers says:
EO: What are you supposed to be doing?

Host Col_Paladin says:
*Captain* We are driving them off, but taking heavy casualties

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: How many Gorn tanks in our vicinity?

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Paladin* Anything we can do to help?

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks at the CEO.:: CEO: Lt, I'm checking the repulsor’s condition.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The FCO crushes a mass of Gorn infantry under the treads as the rest of them scatter.

CIV_Deimon says:
::Fires again into the forest and listens as another explosion sounds.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: 10.

FCO_Durron says:
::Laughs and begins looking for another group of Gorn.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Nods.:: EO: Alright.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The EO is knee deep in burnt circuitry trying to fix the repulsor lifts.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Lay in the best firing order and send it to the guiding systems of the two phasers.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Can we move at all?

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Aye.

EO_Z`heta says:
CEO: Perhaps the quickest way to repair this would be to replace the damaged repulsor with a good one. What do you think?

FCO_Durron says:
CO: We are currently using the tank’s treads.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Calculating firing pattern.::

CEO_Rogers says:
EO: Yes, that’s probably right, if we have one.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Good. Keep moving towards the marines. They sound as if they could do with a helping hand.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The Gorn tanks begin to retreat as the bulk of the Gorn infantry have either been killed or captured, the Gorn field artillery fire to cover.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye. ::Points the tank at the Marines' adversaries.::

CTO_Senek says:
CO: They're retreating.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Feeds in firing orders for phasers.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Takes 3 shots at the Gorn artillery.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*CTO* Excellent. *Paladin* We will start moving towards the colony again.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: The tank shakes with recoil each time the tank's main gun fires, lighting up the landscape and turning a Gorn tank into junk.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Has a hard time to get away from all that circuitry and gets up.:: CEO: Ma'am, I'm going outside to get the spare part we need.

CEO_Rogers says:
EO: Be careful.

Host Col_Paladin says:
*Captain* Aye, they will be dug in around the colony.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at display and begins to follow the retreating Gorn.::

CIV_Deimon says:
All: If anyone has something against one of these tanks speak now, cause I'm having a lot of fun. ::Grins and turns towards his next target.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Nods at the CEO, checks his riffle and opens the door.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Paladin* Most likely. How is your equipment. Do you need a pause to repair?

CEO_Rogers says:
::Starts pulling away the old repulsor pieces and pushing them out of the way for more leg room to stand and do the repairs.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CIV: As long as you target only Gorn tanks.

Host Col_Paladin says:
*Captain* We should camp for the night I could use your Engineering staff to fix our tanks.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Jumps outside and runs to the rear to get the repulsor.::

CIV_Deimon says:
CO: Sounds good to me.... ::Fires one last shot into the vicinity of the retreating Gorn.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at display and sees EO outside.:: *EO*: What are you doing?

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Any good campsites near here?

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Scanning.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: A few Gorn are thrown 20 feet into the air as tank blast hits.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Hears FCO.::FCO: He's getting a spare part from the outside of the tank that we need.

EO_Z`heta says:
*FCO*: Sir, CEO can explain to you. I'm in a hurry...

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: There is a good site next to a nearby river.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Send coordinates to all units.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*EO* Get in here right now. We are going to camp for the night.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: In a rather comical scene the FCO keeps driving and the EO is chasing the tank.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Opens a small plank, pulls out the repulsor and heads back to the door.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Alarmedly throttles back so EO doesn't get thrown of.:f:

CSO_Sketek says:
::Sending coordinates of the campsite to all units.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Shouting.:: *FCO*: Sir, sir! Wait for me!

FCO_Durron says:
::Sees that he has failed in that and looks at the throttle button.:: Self: Up or down.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Stop the tank till EO is back on.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Gets up.::

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Yes ma'am. ::Looks dejected and drops the throttle to Zero.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Jumps in.:: *FCO*: thanks! You can move on!

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Confronts EO.:: EO: What did you think you were doing, Mr Z´Heta?

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Move on.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Stands at attention.:: CO: Sir, I just went to get the part we need to repair the tank.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Aye. ::Resumes course with no idea where he is going so only moves the throttle to 1/4.::

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: There are burning tanks as far as the eye can see,  dead Gorn and Federation infantry lie scattered about as small brushfire slowly burn, the tank reaches the campsite.

Host CO_Kalla says:
EO: And who gave you the order to do that?

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Umh.. where are we going?

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: I allowed him to go ma'am it was a mistake I admit.

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: You should have got the coordinates from CSO.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: Errrrrr.... But it was my idea, ma'am, I confess.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: OK. Another time, both of you will think twice before endangering yourselves or a mission, is that clear?

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: Yes ma'am, I will think twice in the future.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at display taps a few buttons.:: CO: Oh.  well than we are here.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: Yes, Captain!

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO. EO: Good. As you were.

Action: Marines begin setting up tents for the wounded, a place to repair tanks and a temporary mess hall.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Ma'am we are here.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Realizes her stomach is starting to growl at her....but ignores it for the time being wanting to get the repairs done as quickly as possible.::

CIV_Deimon says:
::Setting the tank gun on standby stands up and moves to the engineering station bringing up a schematic to see where he should fall in with Trial and Mr. Z'Heta.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: Excellent, find us a good place.

Host CO_Kalla says:
All: Good work today. We all require a break.

FCO_Durron says:
::Moves the tank near the repair station.:: CO: Aye.

Host Col_Paladin says:
Action: A few technicians open the tank, and begin waxing it up and tinkering with it.

Host CO_Kalla says:
*Paladin* We can meet tonight for a brief meeting.

Host Col_Paladin says:
*Captain* I'll be there.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Closes comm link to colony.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Begins shutting down the tank.::
