Mission Summary: 

Host Susan says:
A second away team has transported down in search of the first team.  The team has found a tunnel and is following it in hopes of locating the underground chamber believed to have been the last known location of the missing team.

Host Susan says:
The investigation into the sabotage has proven that all evidence was planted.  The intended target was indeed a member of the freighter's crew, Lt. Bodine.

Host Susan says:
As they wrapped up the investigation, sensors picked up an incoming ship.  It was coming in fast and all weapons hot and aimed at the freighter.

Host Susan says:
<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS Walker says:
#::moving down the hall as quickly and quietly as possible::

XO Martin says:
#::making her way down the hall with CMO & OPS, wondering if they'll find what they're looking for soon...::

CO Regnum says:
::looks at the ship on the view screen:: Self: What the?

CIV Bodine says:
@CTO: Lieutenant ... ::again Bodine hears no sound::

CMO Burton says:
#::Conducting scans for radiation::

CIV Bodine says:
@Self: damn it .. ::considers hitting the force field with his fist::

FCO Jankara says:
::on the bridge tapped into Operations::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  ::phaser on heavy stun, sweeping right/left::  I got life forms ahead...really distorted, Commander.

Sec Marin says:
#::covers the others back::

CO Regnum says:
FCO: Lieutenant, can you identify that ship?

Host Susan says:
ACTION: As the incoming ship nears, sensors identify it as a Nebula class Federation vessel.

FCO Jankara says:
COM: Unknown Vessel: Please identify yourself.  State your purpose for running armed.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Working on it Sir.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The vessel doesn't respond

XO Martin says:
#OPS: Possibly the room where the meeting was being held?

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  your guess is as good as mine.  

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Confirmed sir.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Database identifies it as the USS IO reported missing from Utopia Planetia 2 years previously.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Sir, it's a Federation nebula class.  Transponder signal says it's the USS IO.  It disappeared from Utopia Planetia 2 years ago.

FCO Jankara says:
::raises shields::

XO Martin says:
#::pauses for a moment, considering:: OPS: Well...I guess we'll just have to find out...let's keep going

FCO Jankara says:
CO: I'm raising shields.  Permission to arm weapons Sir?

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Aye, sir.  ::arrives at the door and checks for traps::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The door within the tunnel appears to be locked from the inside.  Once more a manual lock, no apparent heat source behind it.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  No traps I can find...but it looks cool, so we should be okay to enter.

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Permission to blow the door?

CIV Bodine says:
@::touches his finger on the force field and gets a nasty jolt:: Self: Oooh err

XO Martin says:
#::nods at OPS and looks at Marin:: Sec: I think picking the lock would be a lot quieter...just to be safe

OPS Walker says:
#::exchanges glances with the XO and shrugs::  XO: Probably the only way we're getting in there without attracting a lot of attention, yes.  ::starts to pick the lock::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Io enters weapons range and opens fire on the freighter, battering the smaller vessel's shields.

Sec Marin says:
#XO: As you wish sir.

CO Regnum says:
::feels the freighter rock from the fire:: All: Return Fire!

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Walker feels the lock tumbles drop as he works to open the door.

Sec Marin says:
#::covers the door::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  We're in.  ::eases the door open quietly::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The freighter returns fire, sensors detect no damage as the shots bounce of the Io's shields.

CO Regnum says:
::runs to the tactical console that is still unmanned and fires phasers at the Nebula::

Host Susan says:
ACTION: As the door opens, the team sees the meeting room.  It appears that some sort of auction is taking place.

XO Martin says:
#::motions for Sec to go ahead, ready to follow right behind::

OPS Walker says:
#::plays rear guard::

Sec Marin says:
#::slowly enters the room and goes off to one side covering the team::

CO Regnum says:
::scans for weaknesses in the Nebula::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  As the team moves into the room, 2/3 of the people in the room vanish.  All that remain are a handful of confused vagrants in a nearly empty holodeck.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Holodeck...?

Sec Marin says:
#::sweeps the room:: XO: This doesn't feel right Commander.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect a slight power fluctuation in the port shields.  More intense scans indicate that the port side shield generators are not Starfleet equipment.

OPS Walker says:
#::dials his phaser up to wide beam resolution and levels it ahead of him::

CO Regnum says:
::sees the fluctuation and fires on that part of the shields::

XO Martin says:
#::looks around in surprise:: OPS: It would seem so... Sec: I think I could have told you that back on the surface. ::smiles a little, though she doesn’t feel too pleased about anything anymore::

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Everyone watches the team, apparently lost and confused at the change of their surroundings.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  radiation levels in here are tolerable, but high.  ::scanning the room for a certain CIV::

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Orders sir?

Host Susan says:
#<K'avak> ALL: What is this?

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Scans indicate transporter residue.

Sec Marin says:
#::visually checks surroundings::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Transporters were used in here.  I can read the Heisenberg effects.

XO Martin says:
#::steps forward, deciding it's time to find some things out:: K'avak: It would seem whoever organized all this has fooled you. Others: If you could tell me some names, I'm sure ...er ... the Planets Government will be able to get to the bottom of this soon

OPS Walker says:
#K'avak:  In other words, you tell us, and we'll both know.

CO Regnum says:
::fires all weapons on the instability in the Nebula's shields::

Sec Marin says:
#::covers the XO in-case the crowd gets hostile::

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The freighter's fire doesn't weaken the shields, however it does cause an energy feedback causing a power outage on the brig deck.

CIV Bodine says:
@::looks at his numb index finger and shocked at the sudden turn of events he goes slack jawed:: Self: that was convenient. ::expecting that whatever just happens is bound to draw a guard he hugs the wall next to the door::

XO Martin says:
#::turns, raising an eyebrow:: OPS: Is that so? Is it possible for us to use transporters as well? Or is that freighter too clunky to do anything decent?

CO Regnum says:
FCO: Any damage to them?

Host Susan says:
<K'avak> #OPS: We were brought in here to up the bid in some auction, then Jem’Hadar appeared, then dematerialized shortly after with a couple of phony Cardassians

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Power outage Sir.  The brig area is out.

XO Martin says:
#K'avak: Do you know who was in charge?

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Well, what goes up must come down, so to speak.  In other words, yes. K'avak:  Phony Cardassians?

FCO Jankara says:
::scans the area more thoroughly::

XO Martin says:
#::turns to Sec:: Sec: see if you can find anything suspicious around here, I want to know whats going on before we make any bad decisions.

Host Susan says:
<K'avak> #ALL: Not sure, some human

Sec Marin says:
#::goes back to the door and covers it::

XO Martin says:
#::looks surprised:: K'avak: Human? You're sure?

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Bodine is able to escape the brig area and slip into a jeffries tube.

CIV Bodine says:
@::waiting for the guards to enter before he attacks them from behind::

OPS Walker says:
#K'avak:  Okay...so which way did they go?

Host Susan says:
<K'avak> #::nods:: XO: Yes, I'm sure.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Mahl follows close behind Bodine.

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Aye...::goes out the door and down a hallway::

Host Susan says:
<K'avak> #OPS: Your guess is as good as mine, they vanished...transporter beam is my guess.

OPS Walker says:
#K'avak:  You might want to stay in here.  There's a lot of radiation out there, sir.  XO:  How do you want to play this out?

Sec Marin says:
#::uses a tricorder and scans the area::

CIV Bodine says:
@::starts to move quickly through the Jeffries tube trying to keep his mind focused:: Hahl: We have to find the core, If you can't keep up then stay here. I will be back for you.

XO Martin says:
#::shakes her head, frowning:: OPS: I don't know, I wasn't expecting them to not be down here at all... Tricorders won't be powerful enough to trace where they transported to..

CO Regnum says:
@<Jem’Hadar on Bridge of Nebula> Conductor: Sir, we've lost power to the security deck, internal sensors can't find the humans

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Seven life signs in the brig area.  ::sits up a little straighter:: Sir, 1 human and 1 trill bio-sign.  It's got to be Bodine and Mahl.

CIV Bodine says:
@::gets to a Junction Labeled JR24-B there is a minor service console there, with it Bodine tries to pull up  a schematic and see what class ship he is on exactly::

CO Regnum says:
@<Conductor> Jem’Hadar: Drat.... Get a detail down there, find them, and kill them

FCO Jankara says:
CO: The others are all Jem’Hadar.

Sec Marin says:
#::turns down another corridor::

CO Regnum says:
FCO: So they are aboard the ship..... Plot some Evasive maneuvers, we can't outgun a Nebula, especially with all these piecemeal weaponry they have

Host Susan says:
<K'avak> #OPS: We know about the radiation.  There is no way out if here that will keep us from it.  Can you help us?

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Right...then we should probably get back to the ship.  I'm betting that John and Joran were transported off the planet.

XO Martin says:
#::looks at OPS:: OPS: Can we still contact the ship?

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Evasive were laid in before we left Arcadia Sir. ::pulls up the plans and ties them into weapons before executing the first one::

CIV Bodine says:
@Self: come on, come on ...::he rips off a panel above the console and simply changes the order of a few of the iso linier rods::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  I don't see why not.

XO Martin says:
#::nods:: OPS: We should get these guys transported to safety, I don't care if they're criminals or what...

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Captain, that is a Federation ship.  What's the chances they didn't change the command codes since that ship was stolen?

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Io continues to fire at the Freighter.

CO Regnum says:
FCO: Very slim, this ship has avoided detection for over 2 years

FCO Jankara says:
::hits the next evasive and fires the weapons::

Sec Marin says:
#::puts tricorder on maximum scanning resolution:: Self: Come out come out where ever you are

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Just thought it might be worth a try Sir. ::continues her work::

CIV Bodine says:
@::manages to locate a schematic of the ship, a Nebula class he quickly takes the ladder down and the tube leading to the left::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Aye, Commander.  COM: Freighter:  Walker to Freighter.

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: What's up Mr. Walker?

CIV Bodine says:
@::He comes to a Hatch but hears some Jem'Hadar just on the other side he decides to remain quiet a moment to see if they will pass::

XO Martin says:
#*Sec* Could you return to the holodeck, Marin? We'll probably be transporting up in a few minutes

OPS Walker says:
*CO*: Captain, The lieutenants are not here.  They were apparently transported out of here in the company of so Jem'Hadar.

Sec Marin says:
#::rolls his eyes::

XO Martin says:
#*Sec* Er, and did you find anything in your exploring?

OPS Walker says:
*CO*:  We've got some locals that will need some treatment for radiation exposure.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  A disruptor blast passes Bodine's head, barely missing the two officers.

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: Yes, it would seem that way, Lieutenant Jankara says they are on the ship that is shooting at us

Sec Marin says:
#*XO*:On My way sir.

FCO Jankara says:
::continues the evasive and firing patterns::

OPS Walker says:
*CO*: So...we're here for a bit.  ::thinking::  Anything we can do from Down here, sir?

Sec Marin says:
#*XO*:I didn't find anything...

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: Not unless you can figure out a way to disable a Nebula class starship that you aren't on

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Sir...we've got...a development.

CIV Bodine says:
@::exits the JT dragging Mahl with him sealing the hatch::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The two ships report minimal damage, though the freighter's shields have dropped to 85% to the Io's 95%.

CIV Bodine says:
@::one Jem’Hadar, passes but the other stays:: Thinks: Must be near the core now ..

Sec Marin says:
#::arrives back in the holodeck:: XO: Sorry sir...I didn't find anything.

OPS Walker says:
*CO*:  Actually ::thinks for a second::  If we could tap into their computers we could use their command codes.  What ship, sir?

XO Martin says:
#::nods at Security:: Sec: Alright, you did what you could, thank you.

CIV Bodine says:
@::takes the Jem'Hadar weapon and attempts to solder the JT access point shut::

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: Unfortunately their command codes seem to have been changed already, I've already tried tapping in

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Bodine is able to seal the hatch.

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: The ship has been missing for 2 years, it's the U.S.S. IO

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Thank you sir.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The far door of the holo room begins to slowly melt from the radiation and fires in the upper areas of the tunnel system.

Sec Marin says:
#XO: Sir we have to get out of here...NOW...

OPS Walker says:
#*CO*:  Io?  Oh brother...Sir, the situation down here is deteriorating rapidly.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Io scores a hit that drops the freighter's shields to 45%.

CO Regnum says:
@<Conductor> *CIV*: Well, well, well Mr. Bodine, you've found your way out of the Brig, you are more taxing then I gave you credit.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  The tunnels might be safer if we can seal the doors behind us.

CO Regnum says:
*OPS*: Then I suggest you find a way out of there, unfortunately I can't be of much assistance

CIV Bodine says:
Mahl: watch out for that other Jem'Hadar he can't be far. While I attempt to bypass the door to the Computer Core ::starts to remove panels and interchanging rods and isolinier chips::

OPS Walker says:
#*CO*:  Aye, Captain.  Good luck.  Walker out.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Captain, shields are down to 45%.  We aren't going to be much good up here in a few seconds.  I suggest we drop into the upper atmosphere and attempt a transport.

XO Martin says:
#::looks at the door:: Sec: I can see that...

OPS Walker says:
#XO/Sec/CMO:  We're on our own.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: The change from the atmosphere may keep them off our tails for a few seconds anyway.

XO Martin says:
#:;thinking:: OPS: Do you suppose they used their ship transporters?

CO Regnum says:
ACTION: Several disruptor blasts fire at Bodine and Mahl, one of Mahl's phaser blasts is able to stun a Jem’Hadar, but there are still several left

CIV Bodine says:
@*Conductor*: I'm glad to be of service ::you say with sarcasm::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  that's my best guess.  There was no transporter down here that we've found.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Sir? If we are going to try a beam out, we must do it soon.

XO Martin says:
#::looks around a bit:: OPS: Perhaps we missed something...Sec/OPS: Let's see if we can find anything useful, at the very least

CO Regnum says:
ACTION: One of the disruptor blasts from the Jem’Hadar hits the console that the CIV is working on, melting away the makeup and prosthetics still on his hands, and giving him a second degree burn

Sec Marin says:
#::runs out of the room quickly and turns and aims at the doors control panel sealing the door shut to the holo room::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Aye, aye.

OPS Walker says:
#::sees Sec::  SEC: Mr. Marin!  What the hell are you doing?

CO Regnum says:
FCO: How do you suggest we beam anyone out without being destroyed?

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Marin seals the away team in the holo room, after exiting the way they had come in.

Sec Marin says:
#::takes a hand phaser and places it just in-front of the door and sets it to go off if the door opens::

CIV Bodine says:
@::turns around and fires back at the one that overloaded the door:: Attacker: Thanks! :: then Bodine howls and retreats into the computer core, again after Mahl Enters he tries to seal their only escape::

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  ::thought occurs to him::  Sir, I bet he DID find something down that other tunnel.  ::proceeds toward it cautiously::

FCO Jankara says:
CO: As I stated sir, if we drop into the atmosphere, it will take them a second to relock those weapons.  It isn't much but it's all we have at this point.

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The blast released the lock on the door.

XO Martin says:
#::frowns, looking after Sec:: Self: Whaaat?...::is about to follow, but then comes up with a scan on her tricorder indicating the door is sealed.::

CO Regnum says:
FCO: And what about the dampening field, we can't beam through that?

CIV Bodine says:
@Mahl: this plan better work now we're stuck.

Sec Marin says:
#*Io*This is Marin...emergency transport

XO Martin says:
#OPS: He sealed it...we'll have to break the door down this time...

Host Susan says:
@<Mahl> CIV: It'll work, now let's get to it.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Then with all do respect Sir, I suggest you get off your butt and do something.  Reprimand me if we survive, but I'm not the one that didn't bring enough personnel.  Or would you like me to rub your feet while I'm flying the ship, running comm’s, doing scans, and firing the weapons?

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  No, sir.  he'll have anticipated we try that and booby trapped it.

FCO Jankara says:
::knows she just went way overboard but doesn't really care since they are going to die anyway::

Sec Marin says:
*Io*:Please respond

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  :motions::  I think I've got something over here....

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Io rocks from another hit.

CIV Bodine says:
::taps into the COM it does not seem to be restricted:: COM: Cardassian Freighter: Come in ... This is Lt. Bodine calling Captain Regnum. Come in.

XO Martin says:
#::raises her phaser rifle at the door just as OPS say’s something about booby traps and lowers it again.::

XO Martin says:
#::moves over to where OPS is:: OPS: What have you found?

CO Regnum says:
::hears Bodine over the COMM:: COMM: Bodine: Lieutenant! Where are you?

OPS Walker says:
#::looks into a small room::  XO:  Sir, I think we're out of here.  ::points to the transporter::

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  Both ships continue to fire at each other, steadily beating down shields.  The freighter rocks and minor systems begin to short out.

XO Martin says:
#::raises her eyebrows:: OPS: Ah, good work

CIV Bodine says:
@COM: CO: On the Nebula locked in the Computer core, long story …

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  Work nothing.  That rat Marin is still down here.  ::walks over to the transporter and looks at the controls::

CO Regnum says:
::thinks fast:: COMM: Bodine: Can you possibly restore the original command codes of the ship? Then we might be able to have an advantage.

Sec Marin says:
*Io*This is Marin...emergency transport now please....

XO Martin says:
#::motions to the other people in the holodeck:: All: If you'll come over here, please, we should be able to transport you to a radiation-free area of the planet...

CIV Bodine says:
@COM: CO: I'll try sir.

Host Susan says:
<Io> @*Marin* We are unable to drop shields for transport, you will have to take cover on the surface.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  The question is where we can go.  We can't stay here.

Sec Marin says:
*Io*:I don't care...do it now. 

XO Martin says:
#OPS: If we just transport to a safe place on the planet, we can wait till the freighter has a chance to pick us up, and we'll at least be out of the radiation zone

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  There's a village just at the edge of transporter range we can get to where the radiation is nil, sir.

XO Martin says:
#::nods:: It will do, we're all in Cardy disguise, so we should be okay for a while.

OPS Walker says:
#::chuckles::  XO:  Who'da thunk it?  ::programs the transporter::

Sec Marin says:
#*Io*:We have a spy aboard...Beam me up now or you will suffer.

CIV Bodine says:
@::starts with hardwire manipulation to get the Computer to allow him to put it into Diagnostic mode:: Computer: Scan your systems you will detect several abnormal sub systems that are not part of your program. Confirm!

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The Io ceases to respond to Marin.

FCO Jankara says:
::continues her evasive::

Host Susan says:
<Computer> @ CIV: Confirmed.

OPS Walker says:
#XO:  We're ready to go.  5 seconds after the last transport is complete, this transporter’s power unit will go offline for an hour.

XO Martin says:
#CMO: how are our radiation levels doing Doc? Good for another few minutes?

XO Martin says:
#::nods at OPS:: OPS: Great, transport these people out first, we can go last

CIV Bodine says:
@Computer: you have confirmed to me malfunctions, you are also missing key bits of information. I need to update you. Some of things include essential command codes. You will not be able to detect that. But if you run a level 4 probe of all systems we need to get details on the extent of damage.

OPS Walker says:
#::activates the transporter and watches the locals disappear::  XO:  I like the way you think.  Sir.

CMO Burton says:
#XO: Still within acceptable levels.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The 9 within the holo room are transported to the nearest safe village.

Sec Marin says:
#::looks around the room he is in, for anyway out::

CO Regnum says:
@<Conductor> All: Lock out the Computer Core, we must not let him succeed!

Host Susan says:
ACTION: The transporter console power cell locks down in self diagnostic mode.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The computer continues it's diagnostic and begins resetting systems.

OPS Walker says:
#CMO:  How's the weather, Doctor?  Radiation-wise?

XO Martin says:
#::looks around seeing their in the village now::

CIV Bodine says:
@Computer: you can't be distracted with protocol requests outside our repair sequence, Confirm.

CO Regnum says:
::continues his firing attempts, hoping that Bodine and Mahl are successful::

CIV Bodine says:
@::hears Jem’Hadar cutting into the bulkhead .... Mahl: Oh god here they come ..

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  As the computer begins to reset, the Io powers down main power, all systems at the ready.

CO Regnum says:
::sees a power drain on the IO:: FCO: Are their Shields down?

XO Martin says:
#::glances at the CMO, waiting for his answer to Walkers question before she starts to remove the helmet of the EVA suit::

CIV Bodine says:
@::begins to enter a set of new command codes:: Computer: Enter my voice print for Alpha clearance and restore power to COMMs. Confirm.

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Yes Sir.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  The computer complies.

CO Regnum says:
FCO: Lock onto all non-Jem’Hadar life signs onto that freighter, I'm going to drop our shields, get them over here!

OPS Walker says:
#CMO:  Doctor, I'm getting helmet hair...  ::chuckles::  Can I get out of this damned suit yet?

FCO Jankara says:
CO: Yes sir.

CO Regnum says:
::lowers shields::

CIV Bodine says:
@Computer: fill the surrounding compartment around the outside of the core with anestizine gas.

Sec Marin says:
#::realizes he's not going to get out over there, takes a phaser and points it at his head::

FCO Jankara says:
::locks on to the life signs and initiates transport::

CIV Bodine says:
@Computer: Restore power to the Brig and lock on to all life signs on the command deck and dispose the complement throughout the brig cells.

Host Susan says:
ACTION:  All non Jem-Haddar are transported onto the freighter.

Sec Marin says:
#::takes a deep breath and pulls the trigger::

CO Regnum says:
::accesses command codes of the Io and deactivates life support to kill the Jem’Hadar::

Host Susan says:
