@::Continues to keep an eye out for robots.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
::looking around at the guards with his fingers on his  old style type I Phaser::
Host Aaron says:
<CO_Knight> Aidan:  You still have a lock on the AT?
Host Aaron says:
<Aidan> CO:  Aye Captain.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
All: The entrance is here we descend via these stairs, no contact with ships will be possible
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::nods at Aaron:: Aaron: That would be me, I guess.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Keeps up his guard.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Wake: Its fine, we have other means of communication.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene:  The AT begins to leave the communications shed and warehouse behind
Host Aaron says:
@*CO*:  Ethan, we've found a contact...a Cmdr. Peter Wake.  He is going to take us down into the entrance.  Contact will be lost.
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ Wake: Then that is where the data bank is?
Host Aaron says:
<CO_Knight> *Aaron*:  I'm not too thrilled with that, but be sure to keep me informed telepathically.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:

XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~ AT ~~~ What is your current position?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~XO: We're about to head down into the dig. You joining us?~~~

@All:  Wow, this is my kind of dig!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks around apprehensively and sighs internally:: Self: Get over it.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: The area looks like the upper level of a pyramid.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Heads down into the ruins to meet up with the AT::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Not at all surprised::  Aaron:  Perhaps we will find you a bride down here... bride of the mummy... something like that.
Host Aaron says:
<Aidan> CO:  Negative sir.  Both the Silverhawk and we are concealed behind the planet's moon.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::chuckles softly:: Aaron: I forgot you liked these things.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
All: This is first level of the structure, nothing significant except writings which I couldn't translate

Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
hieroglyphic
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@CMO: I see, do we have any idea what they are doing down here?#
Host Aaron says:
~~~<CO_Knight> XO:  If you can hear me, we've got company up here.~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks at the writing but it looks like squiggles to him::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@ ::Does some sightseeing while he brings up the rear.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~CO: What kind of company~~~
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: Naval Task Force taking up defensive position of Class M world, Doomsday Device prototype nearing completion
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:

Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: Slaves pass carrying boxes in silver cases from the lower levels
Host Aaron says:
~~~<CO_Knight> XO:  Looks like their main robotic ship, along with a destroyer.  Not sure how much time you have.~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Wake: What's in the boxes?
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ XO:  Doom day device.  My goal is to locate the database where they are keeping the information stored on ancient weapons.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
CNS: They must be looting something they discovered, maybe the library
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@All: Lets hurry this up, there is a destroyer above our heads and I don't want to hang about
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: The party is being supervised by a robot guard
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
<Guard> Slaves: No Talking! Move fleshlings!
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ XO: The robots are excavating the remains of an ancient civilization that had the ability to cut neutronium.
Host Aaron says:
@Self:  I hope this guy knows what he's doing.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: The team enters the second level, which appears to be a library of some sort, with extremely sophisticated holographic interactive terminals, there are civilian robotic scientists here working
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@CMO: Had? Does this technology still exist/work?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::looks around hoping they aren't attracting attention, keeping an eye out for the robots noticing them::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Keeps his phaser out of sight, but remains vigilant.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ XO:  I am taking my information from Commander Wake.
Host Aaron says:
~~~@CMO:  Oh sure, blame me!~~~
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
All: The robots have been able to activate the power source here which runs the library, the lights and ventilation, not so much
Host Aaron says:
@XO:  Can't we just shoot our way through?
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
All: The library information seems to be very important
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@Cmdr_Peter_Wake: What information are you specifically looking for?
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Lifts a brow toward her brother-in-law::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Aaron: Think there's a way to get them to evacuate the level?
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: A slave drops a crate and a large stone with writings on each side of different cultures on each face falls out
Host Aaron says:
@CNS:  You mean other than taking 'em all out?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::jumps a little when the slave drops the crate and looks in that direction:: Aaron: Preferably so. I don't feel like dying again.
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Something about the stone catches her eyes and she looks at it.  Quietly::  CNS: Varesh...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::goes to Sky:: CMO: Yes?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@CMO: I'm going to take the TO and Aaron with me to scout the place further. You take charge here
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Nods to the first officer before turning back to the counselor::  CNS:  That looks like what is called a Rosetta Stone.  Think you can get your hands on it for me?
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
XO: We need to prevent them making more of the Doomsday Devices, and perhaps there is a way to stop the monster ships
Host Aaron says:
@XO/TO:  Now you're talking!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@Cmdr_Peter_Wake: Let me worry about that. Stay in touch and let us know of any discoveries you make
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The Robot Guard looks at  Conor and says "Back in line"
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:

@::Turns and nods at the robot:: Robot Guard: I'm going!
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Smiles at Aaron's zeal.:: Aaron: Don't get too excited, we are in enemy territory. Keep vigilant, mate.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CMO: I'll have to work fast. ::moves to where the stone dropped and bends to pick it up::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Heads towards the rest of the slaves::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~TO/Aaron: Tail me but don't get spotted~~~
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
<Guard> ::waste of flesh, points weapon at Conor's back::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Keeps an eye out, ready to pull him back if needed.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
<Guard> ::begins to squeeze trigger::
Host Aaron says:
@TO:  I have no intention of letting you down....I got your back!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::frowns and wrestles with the unwieldy stone, not so much heavy as awkward::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Smiles as he tries to follow the XO while blending in.::
Host Aaron says:
@::grins to himself at what the XO just said::  ~~~XO:  No problem sir.~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CMO: Some help here? It's kind of awkward. ::manages to get it upright::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
<Guard>::pointing weapon at XO's back as he is walking away::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: No one in the near vicinity, she pockets her tricorder to assist.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The tricorder is quickly translating the languages of the other 2 sides from the Iconion side::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Turns to face the robot::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Waiting for a good time to strike,.::
Host Aaron says:
@~~~XO:  You want me to just take this thing out for you?~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ CNS:  We need someplace out of the way so I can scan it as well as get a good look at it.
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The guard fires wounding the XO in his right arm as he turns, a nasty wound as his arm goes limp:
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::glances around and points to an alcove:: CMO: There.

@::stumbles and dives for cover::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@TO/Aaron: Blast him
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Quickly moves to the alcove and puts the awkward think down::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The party witnesses the guard shoot the XO, other guards look and don’t pay much attention
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Reveals his weapon and fires at the robot.::
Host Aaron says:
@::looks at the TO and grins and pulls out his phaser::  XO:  With pleasure!  ::fires::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Starts to loose the feeling in his arm::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@CMO: Will you be OK here? ~~~Aaron: Do you need me there?~~~ ::draws his weapon as he asks::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Nods and motions the counselor to assist.::
Host Aaron says:
@~~~CNS:  We got it covered.~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Tears a bit of cloth from his clothes and ties it around the wound::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Pulling out her tricorder, she begins a quick but thorough scan.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The XO's arm is burned and useless
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Bares his teeth as he fires at any other nearby robots, trying to avoid hitting the slaves.::
Host Aaron says:
@TO:  Nice shooting there ace!  ::grins::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::checks to see if the robots working on the consoles are paying attention::
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Then time here greatly shortened, she shifts to get the next side::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@Aaron: Thanks mate. Not bad yaself. We gotta get to Conor. Get over to him, I'll cover ya.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~CMO: I've been shot, your skills would be useful at this time~~~
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: A firefight has erupted in the library
Host Aaron says:
@::nods and ducks...heading over to the XO::  XO:  You okay?  How bad is it?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Covers Aaron and the XO.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@Aaron: I can't feel my arm
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ ~~~~ XO:  Almost done...~~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Moves to the third side::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Rummages around in his bag for his phaser and uses his good arm to provider cover::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::shrugs and shoots from his position at any robot he can target, making his way to the rest of the team::
Host Aaron says:
@::removes his shirt to help with the XO's bleeding::  XO:  I'm not too versed in medical, just hang in there.
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: As soon as she is finished, she closes the tricorder and turns to look for the first officer.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The CMO completes the translation
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@:: Heads over to the others seeing no more opposition in the meantime.::
Host Aaron says:
@XO:  I'm sensing that Sierra is close by.  Shouldn't be too much longer.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@XO: That looked like a wicked shot you took. Ya OK?
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: After a significant firefight, the party has incinerated the robots
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
:: Moving to the edge of the alcove, she looks around, waiting for a clear space.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@TO: I can't feel my arm
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: As it suddenly goes silent, keeping her head down, she moves around the corner and towards the XO::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::checks over his shoulder to where Sky is and hurries to the rest of the team, kneeling next to the XO when he gets there::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@TO: Whatever they are firing it hurts pretty bad
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Pulls out her medkit as she kneels beside him.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@Sorry, mate. Shoulda beat  that 'bot to the punch.  ::Picks up the robots weapon to study.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@Aaron: Keep pressure on it  until Sky gets here. ~~~You had to go and lose your shirt, didn't you?~~~
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Scene: The wound is a pinpoint nerve shot which can be repaired on the scene with a tissue regenerator which the CMO has
Host Aaron says:
@::sees the CMO arrive and he gets up and looks around at all the incinerated robots::  All:  Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~CO: Some bad news, I've been shot but the doc is patching me up now~~~
Host Aaron says:
@~~~CNS:  Who, me?~~~  ::grins::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@XO: Probably some type of disruptor. I'll need time to study this thing.
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@:: Finishes her initial scan::  XO:  You are lucky... it looks and probably feels worse then it is.  :: reaches into her bag for a tissue regenerator.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::chuckles softly:: ~~~Aaron: Just an observation, not a complaint.~~~
Host Aaron says:
<CO_Knight> ~~~XO:  Can you continue on?~~~
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@~~~CO: Yeah, should be ok~~~
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: Taking his arm, she works quickly.::
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: Feeling begins to return to his arm as the regenerator repairs the nerves
Host Aaron says:
<CO_Knight>  ::sighs deeply::  ~~~XO:  Be a little more careful down there, will ya?~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@All: While we have the time, I think we should check out those consoles for information.
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: As the light flashes green, she turns the unit off.::  XO:  You should be good to go.  There will be some pain, but manageable.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::His arm feels stiff but usable:: CMO: Cheers doc
Host Cmdr_Peter_Wake says:
Action: The party now has control of the library level, there are several panicked slaves but no hostiles
Host Aaron says:
@::points his finger directly at the TO::  TO:  YOU!  I owe you a round of drinks ace!
CMO_Cmd_Knight_Sky says:
@ :: stands::  XO:  Damage done, I will take a look as quickly as I can of the area.
