Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::they stand at the opening of an alley in Atlanta, looking out at a main street, at least it has the appearance of a main street:: Starr: Scans
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Glances silently at the Vulcan captain ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Looks around her eyes taking in everything, especially the other women in case she needs to try to duplicate attitude and behavior.::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Whispers::Any: I wonder if whatever changed things is still around...
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSO_LtCmdr_Starr> ::begins scans::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::continues to look around, sticking close to the others.::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
FCO:  Starr scanned the planet and did not find any alien life forms.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Observes the area silently, looking and listening to get the lay of the land and watching for threats::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CNS: Yes Ma'am but they've been known to hide..::A little concerned in her first time travel mission.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSO_LtCmdr_Starr>: CO: Captain, we have a problem
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
CNS: Maybe it's not alien, Com... :: stops himself from saying the rank, lest anyone be around ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Shifts closer to the CTO subtly.::

ACTION: The crew is suddenly surrounded by a large Confederate force at gunpoint, and a General steps forward and charges them with being Northern spies

FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CTO: How in the...
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::shrugs::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Phasers on wide field stun Sir? ::whispered softly::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Hand hovers near where she has a pocket phaser hidden, in her upper under-garments.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<General_Jackson>: I am General "Stonewall" Jackson. You are hereby charged with being Northern Spies, and will be dealt with accordingly.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: remains perfectly still.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::backing into the alley with the Confederates:: General:  ::finding it a bit odd that a General would draw security duty:: I assure you that we are merely traveling players.  ::he points at Starr:: Honestly, does he look like a spy?
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Trying to look scared and cowed and harmless while looking for options, glancing at co for orders or guidance.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::thumbs the phaser in her pocket to max stun and wide field by touch alone, being so familiar with the weapon she could do it in her sleep, moves to cover a direction the FCO is not, standing back to back with her::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<General_Jackson>: ::looks at Starr:: ::with distain in his voice:: CO: That sir, has got to be the ugliest "thing" I have ever seen.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::notes the CTO's moves and prepares to draw her weapon. It’s already set and can be drawn and fired in less than a second, waiting for orders.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lt_Cmdr_Starr> ::starts to move towards the General, but holds ground for the safety of the crew::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
General: Surely any tribunal would be STUNNED to find our little band of players and oddities more than we are.  ::he keeps pressing back into the landing alley away from prying eyes::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Hearing what sounded like an order she glances at the CTO, ready to move on her mark.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<General Jackson>: CO: You are spies, and you will be transferred by prisoner train to Richmond. ::looks at his Captain :: Captain, take this rabble out of my sight.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Nods to the FCO, draws, and fires at her section of the target zone, going instinctively into a crouch, engaging the targets before her::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::at the same moment draw and fires on wide stun taking out her section.::

ACTION: The phasers fail to work and emit only a beam of light, much like that of a laser pen

FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
all: oops.

ACTION: The crew is relieved of their weapons, and marched to a nearby prisoner train

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
Self: Bloody hell....
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: raises an eyebrow not expecting that at all.  For that matter, it did not make sense.::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Whispers to any when the guards leave them::ALL: And no tech was detected before we came down that seemed odd, I just don't understand...

ACTION: Several hours later, the train arrives in Richmond, the crew is offloaded and marched to a nearby camp, where they come face to face with another General

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Keeping an eye out and trying not to trip over the long skirts, she follows the group.::

ACTION: As the General turns to face them, the crew recognizes him as none other than the Confederate Commander himself, General Robert E. Lee

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::as they approach:: Airhart: I believe even I know that face.  Some of his strategies were readings for the academy.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: Yes Sir I remember..::A little in awe.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<General Lee> ::adjusts his uniform to appear more distinguished than he is::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Captain Miz Takin>: General: here are the Yanks we were wired about.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::blinks and glances at the CO mouthing the word, "wired?"::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Airhart: I think it's the accent.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::mouths the word "telegraph" and makes a tapping motion with her index finger to the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CTO:  :: Whispers furiously ::  We were there for 5 minutes in an alley..how they'd know?
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<General Lee>: Capt Takin: Thank you Captain. I'll take it from here. All: which one of you leads this rabble?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::shrugs::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lee: I am more or less the speaker.  I would not say that any one leads a troupe of performers such as ourselves.  It would be like herding chickens, General.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
:: vaguely knows what a telegraph is..sort of but that wasn't her question, how did they get the warning so fast? That’s what she was curious about.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::mumbles to the FCO:: FCO: Apparently we ain't the only ones here with a bit o'foresight.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Nods to the CTO as she watches the CO try to bluff their way out of this.::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: It had been a long time since she had been part of a 'rabble'... and this was not it.  Continues to listen and observe.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee>: CO: What would one such as yourself be introduced as?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lee: I am Sul...ly...and this is our troupe of oddities and sideshows...who are apparently much like spies.  Our tents destroyed... we are reduced to this rabble.  ::he sweeps off his cap letting the full impact of his bald head and ears sink in on the general::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As she looks around, something is not right... between what is being said and what she is seeing.::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Looks around trying to alert for options.::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Turns at the captains movement and curiously watches Lee's reaction.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee>: Well, Mr. Sully. If you are a carnival act as you say, then you will get to prove that. However, until such time that we can determine you true identities, if you are not who you say you are, you will be sent to Savannah, Georgia, to a Prisoner of War camp.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::rising:: Lee: Oddities, General, Oddities.  We do not take sides, but eke out a meager existence.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lee: Richmond is not then our final destination... what if there were a way to prove ourselves?  We have one of the finest fortune tellers in North or South. ::he looks at Azhure::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee>: CO: I am sorry, but my orders stand sir. You are dismissed. ::holds out his hand for the CO to shake::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Tries not to react more then to give a slight bow of acknowledgment.::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As she straightens, something catches her eyes.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Grabs his hand:: Lee: Your comrade in Atlanta was wrong about us...we merely seed to right injustice and perhaps get a meal.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Wonders if she'll be called on to do something odd as she mentally goes through her list of skills.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee>: However, before you go, I would like to see some of this entertainment. ::sits in his chair::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Shifts slightly to catch the CSO attention and nods her head slightly towards one of the buildings.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lee: What would you like to see? Feats of strength... your fortune read... I suppose a demonstration by our marksman is out of the question.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lt_Cmdr_Starr>: ::looks inquisitive at the CNS::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Grins at the mention of the marksman::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: needs him to scan, but unable to ask him with things as they were.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee>: CO: You are free to entertain at your discretion. As they say, "The stage is yours."
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lee: Your heaviest soldier and perhaps an odd tune ::well aware of Azhure’s state::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: moves closer to Sulek, speaking so that only he can hear::  CO:  There is technology here that does not belong... at least not in this time period.  Someone has either polluted it with advancement or... ::shrugs, uncertain where else to take that thought at the moment.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he looks at Starr:: Starr: Your instrument ::points at the tricorder::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: I play the fiddle..::Thinks to self, "well a violin is like a fiddle.."::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Trying to think of some way to help she blurted the first words that came to mind..::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he moves to Lee and gently lifts the sitting General chair and all into the air::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee;>: CO: Impressive.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sitting the general back down:: Lee: And now a reading.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I shook his hand... an odd sensation....
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Lee> ::a large man comes from the back of the tent:: CO: This is my biggest soldier, at your request.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Starr/Airhart:  Play on.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Turns slightly to look at Lee more carefully::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Turns back and again, for his ears alone, glad of his Vulcan hearing::  CO:  He is not what he appears to be... close, but he is not human.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Takes a fiddle handed to her by an aide and commences to playing a lively tune.::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Starr>: ::begins playing the flute, badly::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Can sing on key so begins to sing a song she knows to match. Thankful her brother is one of those lunatic re-enactors so she knows some tunes from this time period ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Trying to cover what Starr is doing..::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: resists the urge to cover her ears.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::claps in time with the tune::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to face the soldier:: Soldier: Come sir...a contest of strength...arm wrestling....a tussle of any kind....for Lee, country and honor.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I too believe this... we need to get a read of exactly what he is since scans showed no aliens.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSO_Lt_Cmdr_Starr>: ::frustrated with the sound, stops playing, turns and hurls the flute with all his strength, and the flute just sails, whistling all the way, further than they can see::
