Continue USS Andromeda "The Phoenix Incident" 10405.30

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::sitting in the back of the hover truck listening to the engine waiting::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::looks a bit around himself just to check the environment and then walks to the XO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::stands in the alleys near the refinery, keeping an eye out for trouble and exploring the city's computer network::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Pressed up against wall of hovercar::

Host ACTD JohnSea says:
Action: The hover truck merrily makes it way through the air, rumbling along until it touches down on a landing pad inside the refinery perimeter

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@<w> XO: Hello. As you ordered, I'm working on a fast way to create a fog, when needed.

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@Team<W>:Go

Host ACTD JohnSea says:
Scene: Robotic, automated workers begin unloading the truck

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::eases out of the truck quickly heading away from the vehicle::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Slides out of the truck after the XO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::motions with one finger to his lips at the CSO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::quickly rushes to cover than stays still watching the area for movement::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::nods at the XO and makes himself ready to move::

Host ACTD JohnSea says:
Action: The robot workers continue to unload the truck, unaware of the XO's team

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::makes sure that there's no one watching and makes a run for it as silently as possible::

Host ACTD JohnSea says:
Action: A snow hound off a leash begins to sniff around in the FCO's direction

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::follows the robot workers eyes open for snipers or guards::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Runs across towards the CSO while no-one is watching::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::notices the hound out of the corner of his eye:: Self: Oh... dear. ::begins quietly moving away, looking for something he can climb::

Host ACTD JohnSea says:
Scene: The refinery is quiet except for the occasional spotlight looking around from a guard tower

Host SnowHound says:
::sniffing around the ground::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@<W>team: stay out of the lights.  Avoid the dogs, and stay quiet.

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: The robots are taking packages from the truck into the refinery via a supply door

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO<w>: To the supply door?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::watches the robots as they go thru the door::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::stops and scans around the edge of the doorway looking for detectors::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::glances back and sees the hound still trying to pick up his scent:: Self: I hope there's nothing watching that thing... ::checks his disruptor and continues looking around for something to use to get off the ground::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::holds up a hand his fist closed::

Host SnowHound says:
::howls to a another hound and it joins him::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::looks at the XO and immediately understands that the door will be hard to use::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::tries to ascertain the direction that the camera is facing or if it is avoidable::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::hears the howl and starts getting desperate::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the tricorder than motions to the CEO::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO<w>: I might be able to hack that camera

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::nodds to the CEO and puts his finger to his lips again::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Works on tricorder to send a feedback loop into the camera::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::puts his tricorder away and stands still hoping his dark clothing will blend well with the building in the event someone happens by::

Host SnowHound says:
Action: The camera is now in a feedback loop

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::notices a fire escape in the alley and begins stacking boxes and garbage cans high enough that he can reach it::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Nods at the XO::

Host SnowHound says:
::trotting around looking for something but the wet ground is interfering with the scent::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks around and steps through the door::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::makes sure there aren't any robots in the way and enters::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Follows the CSO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::takes his time and works his way down the corridor::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: The inside of the refinery seems to be totally automated by robotic workers, there are 2 levels to the refinery

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::completes the pile and notices the hounds getting confused by the wet ground, but climbs onto the ladder anyway:: Self: Looks like that holographic snow was better than I thought...

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::follows the XO:: <w> CEO: Make sure you turn of the feedback loop, or it may cause detection.

Host SnowHound says:
Action: The hounds stop sniffing and seem to be communicating via whines and growls

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Switches the loop off::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the CEO, circles his right index finger, indicating the area,  taps his left wrist once, raises five fingers than points to the ground::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::watches the hounds from the fire escape and upholsters his disruptor in case they notice him::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: The second level is where the phoenix compound is processed the first level is where it is stored

Host SnowHound says:
Action: The hounds move off back to the refinery

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the CSO, circles his right index finger than makes a figure walking up steps with his right index and middle fingers than indicates the point where his watch would be signals five again and points to the ground::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::relaxes, but decides to climb to the roof of the building anyway, to get a better vantage point and to stay out of the way of the hounds::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the CEO's face and sighs::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@<W>CEO:  scout first floor meet here five minutes.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Nods::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::thinks that has understood the message and nods at the XO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@<W> CSO: Scout second floor, meet here five minutes.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Heads to the first floor::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::walks onto the roof and to the edge, then sits cross-legged, half-waiting for the XO's team to come running out the front, disruptors blazing::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::takes off his tricorder, records the time and scans for any detector on the stairs::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Begins sneaking around the first floor looking for a container for phoenix::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::checks the time and looks around than worries about the other members of his team::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::returns to his PADD and continues around the city's computer network. Dissatisfied that he can't interrupt the power supply to the city or refinery, looks for a map of the city in order to plan a hasty escape if necessary::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::approaches the stairs and copies the protocol the CEO used to fool the door camera::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: On the first floor there are boxes inside a vault, the boxes are labelled "Phoenix Compound"

Host SnowHound says:
Action: The CSO succeeds in creating a loop in the camera

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Heads towards the security office::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::notices an elevator but decides to climb up the stairs gently to the 2nd floor::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: In the security office there are four robots observing cameras of the whole refinery

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::turns off the feedback loop and scans the 2nd floor::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: On the second floor, there are large quantities of raw ore being refined into Phoenix Compound, however, based on the CSO's knowledge of holograms he discovers that the 2nd floor scene is actually a very carefully constructed hologram

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at his tricorder's time indicator wondering what is taking them so long::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Heads towards the vault::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::looks puzzled at the tricorder readings as he discovers that the scene is holographically created::  ::looks at the time index on the tricorder and turns back, hacking the stair camera again::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::opens the tricorder and scans for life forms than watches the two blips move around on the screen::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::tracks down a map of the city and begins trying to find an exit near the refinery, then one near the hotel::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Sits down and looks at the vault and begins scanning it::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::approaches the XO, and turns off the camera jammer:: <W> XO: Sir, the 2nd floor shows refiner facility, but the whole scene is just an hologram.  I wonder what they're trying to hide under these holograms...

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::nods to the CSO considering::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the time index and looks around for the CEO::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@<W> XO: Sir, there's also an elevator and it perhaps may lead to a non holographic room.  The real room.  Nevertheless, it may be conspicuous to use the it...

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Sneaks over to the CSO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::notices that the Tal'shiar "shoe store" is nearby, climbs down the building and heads for it::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::Shakes his head at the CSO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the CEO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::enters the back of the store and notices a few subdued guards and a great deal of equipment:: Tal'shiar: Gentlemen. ::sits down and begins trying to identify the gear::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at his wrist::<W>:CEO: what did you find.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO<w>: Empty boxes labelled Phoenix Compound

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@<w>CEO: ok.  We will get one of the boxes and get out.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO<w>: Also a security office, with 4 robots in it.

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::notices a fight in the Senator's suite:: Self: I wonder what's happening.. ::increases magnification, hoping the CO and CNS aren't involved::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::crouches and moves into the first floor storage area heading for the vault, looking around for cameras::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Taps XO on shoulder and points to direction of safe::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::relaxes as he sees the CO and CNS aren't involved, but considering the mercenaries are fighting with the Romulans, realises that this could prove to be a convenient diversion::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::Looks at the CEO, looks in the direction that he is pointing and heads that way::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@<w>XO/CEO:  I'm sure those robots aren't there just to check the state of the holographic generators.  Perhaps in the security room we can find a lead to the entrance to the real rooms.

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: The Vault is full of boxes labelled "Phoenix Compound"

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks around and motions to the CEO::<W>CEO: get one.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Lifts a box out of the safe::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::goes over to the communications equipment and sets it to a frequency the Ghost will easily receive and sends the crew the instructions, "4 may need immediate beam-out upon sight; be ready. Do not reply" and hopes no one notices the message going out::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::approaches the CEO and also picks up one box::

Host SnowHound says:
Action: Despite what sensors reveal, there are indeed items inside the box

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::Shakes his head at the CSO::<w>CSO: only need one.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Looks inside the box::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::nods at the XO and puts the box back::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::moves the boxes around so that it looks like they haven't been disturbed::

Host SnowHound says:
Action: Inside the box there is Phoenix Compound composed of matter and antimatter, it is completely invisible to sensors

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO<w>: Would you look at that.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::scans the box just to check the tricorder readings::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::glances in the box smiles and begins heading for the exit::<w>CSO: get the camera.

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::nods and turns on the feedback loop on the camera::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@Self: What is going on....

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::exits the building and looks around::

Host SnowHound says:
Scene: Outside the building there are unloaded hovertrucks leaving and loaded hovertrucks arriving

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::exits after the XO, waits for the CEO and turns off the camera jammer::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Follows the CSO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::heads for one of the unloaded trucks::

Host SnowHound says:
Action: robots get into the unloaded truck and start its engine

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Runs alongside the XO::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::climbs into the back of the truck::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::is still wondering why didn't the tricorder detected the contents of the box::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::realises that there are no cameras monitoring the refinery:: Self: Well now.. that's odd.

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Sits in between the XO and CSO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::turns to the Tal'shiar:: Tal'shiar: You guys just here for the conference?

Host SnowHound says:
Action: The hovertruck lifts off and after a relatively short journey, it unceremoniously lands back at the warehouse and the robots exit and go about their business

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::jumps out of the truck and jogs away into the dark::

Host Romulan Agent says:
::gagged:: Mmmmmdsdkndfjndofn

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Follows the XO::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$Agent: A simple yes or no would do.

Host Romulan Agent says:
FCO: Noidsnfdofindfdfn@#$!

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::raises an eyebrow:: Agent: You want something?

Host Romulan Agent says:
FCO: ^&%$!

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$Agent: Does that gag not taste very good?

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::heads for the alley::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::crouches and speeds up behind the CEO::

Host Romulan Agent says:
Action: The XO's team makes good its escape and heads into the darkness

Host XO Commander Durron says:
Team: Good work

CEO Ensign Conor says:
Team: Thanks.

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::Looks around::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::wonders where the FCO is::

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$::shrugs and turns back to the intell gear, keeping an eye on the goings-on in the hotel, wondering how the XO is doing::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@XO/CEO: Thank you, Sir.  Great leadership too.

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::pulls out his communicator and flips it open::*FCO* You there?

Host Romulan Agent says:
Action: The XO's team does not see the FCO, however, they do see two snowhounds wandering nearby

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@XO: I see trouble.

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$*XO*: Hey, sorry about disappearing like that. Thought I'd try to get a message off to our friends outside and I figured sending you a message would compromise your position. On the bright side, I have a quiet exit for you ready to go, after which you'll be spirited away onto the ship.

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::looks at the snow hounds briefly than begins heading for the hotel.::

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@XO/CEO: <w> quiet! These hounds have perfect hearing...  ::points to them::

Host Romulan Agent says:
Action: The snowhounds stop and their ears perk

Host XO Commander Durron says:
@::nodds to the CSO and keeps walking away from the dogs::

CEO Ensign Conor says:
@::Starts backing up from the snowhounds::

Host XO Commander Durron says:
*FCO*: We've company. Where you?

Host Romulan Agent says:
Action: The Dogs do indeed hear the XO's footsteps and begin trotting towards the party

FCO Ensign Andrews says:
$*XO*: With our would-be shoe salesmen. What's your company like?

CSO Commander Z’heta says:
@::sees the dogs moving and crouches as silently as possible::

Host Romulan Agent says:
