Last time on Arcadia: The crew found out that General Lee is not only a holographic image, but the projection unit is somewhere in the building behind him. Lt.Cmdr, Starr and Cmdr. Kraight beamed up to the ship as part of a "magic act" ploy. They have the supplies they need and are prepared to beam down into the building to take out the projector. Then the crew can hopefully figure out who is behind this, fix history, and get back home.

 Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::as they take a break from the entertainment, he waits for a sign or report from Kraight and Starr.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Sits nearby her eyes scanning the surrounding area.::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: finishes packing the explosives into a travel case :: CSO: Time to go.  :: heads out the door, down the corridor to the transporter room ::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
@<LtCmdr Starr> XO: Right with you. ::follows the XO::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Hopes they can figure out what device is suppressing their phasers but lets tricorders work.::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Wishes she thought to bring more weapons, glances at the CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
@ :: enters transporter room, goes directly to the pad :: 
Host ASM_Bruce says:
@::gets on padd:: TO: Lock onto that building and put us inside it, near the top floor.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::looks at the FCO, does an eyeroll and a shrug and waits to see what the command crew has planned, keeping an eye on the guards and their location and fields of fire::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
@<TO_Nothere>: CSO: Yes sir.

@ACTION: LtCmdr. Starr and Cmdr. Kraight are beamed back to the surface into the building 2 floors from the top

FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Nods at the CTO and keeps an eye open on the other side.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::finally sits next to the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::moves to stand up :: CO: Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: activates tricorder and starts scanning ::  CSO: Now to find the projector...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Airhart: I believe I just noticed the sign of a beam in to the building.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr Starr>: XO: Based on the beams when the salt was thrown, I'd say the top floor.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: scans the upper floors ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Stands.::CO: Yes, sir. So any time now? ::Looks at the building..::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Airhart: Perhaps.  It is somewhat interesting that they seem unconcerned that the "magic" act has no return.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: I wonder how many of these people are projections? ::She muses.::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: No curiosity about our weapons a few weeks back either. I'm surprised we didn't get burned at the stake..
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::snags a pebble and flicks it nonchalantly at one of the guards::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Airhart: An interesting thought.  Perhaps we should throw salt at all of them, but the real ones might shoot us.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: Too bad we can't do medical scan if these guys are real, they don't seem right...
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: I'm having trouble locating the projector. Go to the other end of this floor and scan for it. We'll try to triangulate its position.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::nods::CO: Yes Sir, I would just as soon not be killed by a musket ball...
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr. Starr>: XO: Yes sir. ::moves to the other side::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Airhart: Perhaps their disinterest goes even further.  See how close you can get to the building.  Take the CTO with you to offer some distraction or help.

ACTION: As the tricorders triangulate, Kraight and Starr realize that the emitter is on the roof, but the projector is the building itself.

FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: Aye Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: taps commbadge :: CSO: You're right. Join me back here, and we'll find a way up to the roof.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Goes over to the CTO::CTO: Ma'am, skipper wants to see if the guards care how close we get to this building....
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr. Starr>: ::joins the XO:: XO: Ok. 3 things. 1. The emitter is on the roof. 2. The entire building is the projector. 3. We are not alone here in this building.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: I noticed the lifeforms. Possibly Pakleds. The Great Maker only knows how they got hold of time travel technology.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
FCO: Right. Well, let's fly casual. ::starts wandering toward the building whistling "Whiskey in the Jar" and looking around nonchalantly::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: We'll disable the emitter. Once it's out, the projections should vanish.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Follows the CTO's lead::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: finds a staircase and starts climbing ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Only without the whistle..::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr Starr>: ::follows the XO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::walks up to the building and leans against it next to the window, then casually peers inside::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Keeps an eye out for guards or anything unusual, watching the CTO's back.::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: once on the sixth floor, the pair find a stairway to the roof ::  CSO: Keep a close watch. I detect no lifeforms above, but there may be automated defenses.  :: starts up the stairs to the roof ::

ACTION: As the CTO turns to peer into the window, she comes eyeball to eyeball with a Pakled, who freaks out, runs away screaming, and not watching where he is going "clotheslines" himself on a low beam, knocking himself out

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::motions for the CO to come over to the window::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Turns just in time to see the Pakled.:: CTO: Seriously?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::rises and walks toward the CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: crawls out onto the roof, looks around for the emitter array ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
FCO: Ye expected anything less? ::shrugs:: CO: Something ye oughta see here Sir. ::points at the unconscious Pakled:: Think I've solved the mystery, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::as he walks by Sanchez:: Sanchez: See if there's a back door to the building.
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CTO/CO: Shall we go in?

ACTION: The whole encampment begins to flicker badly, and bright yellow lines and black squares begin to appear and disappear

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::stands next to the CTO and looks in the window::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Having quietly remained out of the way, he nods ::  CO: Aye, Captain.  :: Refrains from a mock salute as he silently slinks off, inspecting the building closer ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he sees the prone Pakled on the floor:: Murphy: Is that what I think it is?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Request permission to thrash the Pakled on general principles Sir? ::smirks::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: Looks up, sees the sky flickering in and out of existence ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CO: Sir I'll go back up Sanchez if I may?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Murphy: If there's one... there will be more.  I've sent Sanchez looking for a back door.  You two see if you can get in the front.  I want to know exactly why we have Pakleds.
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Glances back at his name ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::attempts to open the window and gain entry to the building::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he follows Sanchez::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: steadfastly ignores the sky, and crawls over to the emitter array, where he plants three of the nitrilin charges ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CTO: Suppose the Skipper will do that then. ::Helps the CTO open a window::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: then retreats to the safety of the sixth floor ::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
CO: Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: Here goes.  :: taps the detonation code sequence into his tricorder ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sanchez: We have Pakleds.  I'm with you while Murphy and Airhart seek alternative entrances.
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Suddenly gets very nervous ::  CO: Very... well... sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Hops into the opening and looks around for any more Pakleds::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he follows as the Operations officer leads around a corner::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::follows the CTO, wondering at the lack of glass then remembers the pakled and stops wondering.::

ACTION: As the XO punches in the final detonation code, the emitter explodes into a shower of sparks.

FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::moves forward to check the Pakled on the floor but pauses and glances at the CTO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Nods and moves to check any other entrances to the room::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
CO: Shall we, then?
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Checks the Pakled to make sure his pulse is steady afterward will rifle his pockets.::

ACTION: With the emitter destroyed, General Lee and company disappear

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sanchez: By all means.  ::he follows Sanchez through an opening in the walls::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Starts to walk in a certain direction, looking for ways to keep going further ::  CO: What do you expect to determine from this, captain?
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: Let's go view our handiwork.  :: starts back up the stairs to the roof ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sanchez: I would like to catch a Pakled for an...  :: almost says 'in depth' :: ...a conversation.
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
CO: I was not aware such a thing was possible.  :: Another door, another room beyond ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
FCO: Secure that scrub to keep him out o'trouble, eh? ::points at the unconscious Pakled::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Sanchez: Admittedly, it may difficult... but perhaps we can at least get them to point to what brought them here.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSOLtCmdr Starr>: XO: Perhaps we should catch and interrogate one of these Pakleds, instead of scaring the hell out of 'em.
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Looks thoughtul for a moment ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
CTO: His pulse seems steady, found some items on him..:: motions to the small pile of bits and pieces, pulls a wire from the pile and moves the pakled to his side and starts to his hands behind his back.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::looks through the items briefly::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::they begin moving deeper into the building:: Sanchez: Perhaps if we make our way up to the next floor.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Pakled Leader>: ::screaming:: NO! NO! NO! STOP!!! You're wrecking everything!!!
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Wonders if they're underground and he never noticed ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CSO: Let's go downstairs and see who we can find. We'll need to arm ourselves... look for something we can use for a weapon.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: starts back downstairs ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Finishes tying his hands and lifts him to lean against the wall as she hears someone yelling..::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Takes off running in the direction of the voice::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::hears the sound:: Sanchez: Sounds like we have a Pakled.  :: leads the way towards the sound ::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::pauses glancing at the Pakled then follows, unwilling to let the CTO go without backup.::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Tilts his head ::  CO: Sorry, sir, must have missed it.  Which way?
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Pakled Leader>: All: All this work to bring you here and... and... and... change historicals... and... and... and... ::realizes what he just said:: I ought not of told you that... I ought not of told you that... ::begins smacking his head:: Self: stupid... stupid... stupid...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::finds the stairs and begins moving up:: Sanchez: My hearing is a bit more acute.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Continues to head for the voice, taking time to clear any corners before running around then and looking for any possible threats::
OPS_LtJG_Sanchez says:
:: Tries again not to make a smart comment ::  CO: Aye, it is.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<Paklead Leader>: I fix... I fix... ::starts messing with things, gets a shock:: Ouchiness!
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Continues to follow the CTO, feeling a bit like she walked into a sitcom..::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::continues up the stairs past the second floor with Sanchez right behind::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives third floor and stops:: Sanchez: I believe it was on this level that the shouting came from.
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<CSO LtCmdr Starr>: ::disappears into what little bit of shadow the interior of the building offers and sneaks into the room with the Pakled leader::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Starts up the stairs taking them 2 at a time::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Keeps up with the CTO::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he begins moving down the hall looking for the Pakled::
FCO_Ens_Airhart says:
::Which is hard to do in a dress with layers.:
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: picks up a length of pipe on the fourth floor, then continues down ::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr Starr>: ::sneaks up on the Pakled leader with non working phaser drawn and sticks it in his back:: Pakled leader: Get up slowly. Let me see the hands.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he arrives at the door and sees the small CSO holding the Pakled leader at phaser point::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr Starr>: ::taps combadge:: XO: 3rd floor room on left side. Pakled leader: Pick up the chair and sit in it.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Pushing the door open:: Starr: You seem to have made a unique capture.

ACTION: The Pakled leader does as instructed and CSO puts away the phaser

XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: finds the Pakled leader, CSO, and Captain Sulek ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Runs into the room and takes up position near the Pakled::
Host ASM_Bruce says:
<LtCmdr Starr>: CO: Yes sir.
