#::On board the Thomas, in orbit around Arcadia Station. Sitting in captain's chair::

CSO_Tyler says:
::steps off turbolift  dusting himself off  from the ventilation shaft dust, and debris::

ACO_Danos says:
::walks into OPS::  OPS: Mr. Danforth, report.

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: all we can do now is wait for them to come get us.

MO_Utoo says:
*Ops* can I please get a clean up team down to sickbay, those bugs made a big mess!

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Sir, the station is finally cleaned up and the contamination has been limited to sickbay and its patients.

FCO_Vekh says:
#<Thomas_TO> FCO: We are getting a transmittion. The signal is weak.

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Sir, I'm receiving an emergency message...it's from the Chief!

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Put it through, Ensign.

Host Tari says:
Jason: I think it is lunchtime.

FCO_Vekh says:
# Thomas_TO: Boast the signal and locate origin.

MO_Utoo says:
*Ops* I cant treat my patients without a sickbay!

OPS_Danfo says:
OPS: Aye, sir. ::rerouting transmission to the ACO::

ACO_Danos says:
*MO* A team will report immediately.  ::taps requisite buttons on console::

MO_Utoo says:
*ACO* Thank you, sir

CEO_JJ says:
@::notices hunger:: Tari: must be, what's for lunch, rations'ala'king?

OPS_Danfo says:
MO: A team should have been down there 2 days ago to clean everything up.

CSO_Tyler says:
CO: remind me to ask the Chief to come up with some kind of dusting schedule ::lightlybrushes a little more dust off himself::

FCO_Vekh says:
#<Thomas_TO> FCO: It seems to come from Arcadia IV. It has CEO Claymore SF code on it.

MO_Utoo says:
*Danfo* it didn't happen, I was missed

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Sir, the message is simple coordinates.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION:  A couple more people are reported ill on deck 23.

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: I have them now and am transferring it to you.

OPS_Danfo says:
::transferring coordinates to the ACO's station::

ACO_Danos says:
::ods to the CSO::  OPS: Open a channel to the Thomas.

CNS_Savar says:
#::Arrives on Bridge of the Thomas::

OPS_Danfo says:
::Opens a channel:: ACO: Channel open, sir.

FCO_Vekh says:
#SELF: Intriguing! CNS: Open a channel to Arcadia. It seems we are receiveing a distress call from CEO Claymore.

ACO_Danos says:
Comm: Thomas: Are you monitoring a distress call?

OPS_Danfo says:
MO: Ensign, a team is being sent to sickbay now.  We have reports of two more people getting ill on deck 23.  Can you check it out?

ACO_Danos says:
CSO: See if you can lock down the coordinates indicated in that message.

MO_Utoo says:
*OPS* I'm on my way ::Heads onto the TL::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Moves to Tactical:: Vekh: Thank you, Ensign.  I will do that

Host Tari says:
@Jason: Who do you think will get here first?

MO_Utoo says:
TL: Deck 23

CNS_Savar says:
#Vekh: Can you fill me in quickly before I am able to relieve you?

FCO_Vekh says:
#:: moves from the captains chair on seen LtJG Savar arriving on the bridge. CNS: would you like to take the command, sir?

OPS_Danfo says:
MO: Let me know when you are there.  I'm isolating the section with force fields and reducing the temperature on deck 23.

CSO_Tyler says:
::begins checking for the coordinates on his Science Console::  ACO: Standby   ::double checks::   ACO: I think i've got em

MO_Utoo says:
::Steps onto deck 23:: *OPS* I'm here

OPS_Danfo says:
::establishes medical force fields on deck 23 and reduces the temperature to -70 degrees::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Moves to Captain's chair:: Vekh: Thank you.

FCO_Vekh says:
#CNS: We just received a weak distress call. It contained CEO Claymore's SF code and coordinates from Arcadia IV, sir

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: well I don't think the Orions can send anyone, the Thomas should be here within the hour, but if the colony has any more shuttles well and picked up our message then they will be here in about thirty minutes

ACO_Danos says:
CSO: Standby to transmit those coordinates to the Thomas.

CSO_Tyler says:
::nods::  ACO: Ready

OPS_Danfo says:
Computer: Lower force field to allow the medical team through and reestablish once they are inside.

FCO_Vekh says:
#::moves to FCO workstation:: CNS: Shall I inform Arcadia?

MO_Utoo says:
::Steps into the force field::

ACO_Danos says:
:Comm: Thomas: Are you monitring a distress call from Lieutenant Claymore?

CNS_Savar says:
#Vekh: Inform Arcadia of the contents of the message

MO_Utoo says:
::Starts to treat the patients who are covered with goo::

Host Tari says:
@Jason: And that's if the atmosphere here didn't block it completely.

FCO_Vekh says:
#COMM:Arcadia:ACO: Yes, sir. We picked up a weak signal from Arcadia IV. It seems to come from the CEO. There were coordinates along.

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: and only if there was enough power to even reach the ionosphere.

ACO_Danos says:
Comm: Thomas: We've been able to lock down those coordinates.  Sending now.  ::nods to the CSO::

MO_Utoo says:
*OPS* The bugs are dead raise the temperature

OPS_Danfo says:
All: Attention, station personnel.  This is just a reminder that as infestations are reported, the station will need to drop the temperature to minus 70.  Please be prepared.

CSO_Tyler says:
::sends coordinates to the Thomas::

OPS_Danfo says:
*MO*: Alright.  Raising the temperature.

Host Tari says:
@Jason: You are such a pessimist.

OPS_Danfo says:
::raising temperature to normal::

FCO_Vekh says:
#::get coordinates:: CNS: Arcadia was able to pinpoint the source of the transmission. it is indeed from Arcadia IV

MO_Utoo says:
*OPS* Is my sickbay clean?

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Is everyone in this room clear of the infestation, or are we still carriers?

CNS_Savar says:
#Vekh: If our CEO is in trouble, I believe it would be prudent to launch a rescue mission

OPS_Danfo says:
*MO*: According to the security teams, it has been cleaned and sanitized.

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: me, nah. come on, let's go to the roof and watch for the Thomas

FCO_Vekh says:
#CNS: I agree, sir. Shall I request clearance from Station?

CEO_JJ says:
@::walks out on the floatation devices::

Host Tari says:
@Jason: Sure.  I could use a tan.

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Sir, we should be free of the infestation.  When the temperature dropped, it should have killed them all.  However, two new cases were reported on deck 23.

CNS_Savar says:
#Vekh: Request clearance.  Set course.  Engage as soon as possible

MO_Utoo says:
*OPS* Thank you ::Motions for a few crewmembers yo help bring the patients to sickbay::

Host Tari says:
@::Follows Jason::

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: I can't say we got them all.  I'm scanning now for any new infestations.

OPS_Danfo says:
::Scanning for new infestations::

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Very well, we'll just have to stay put until we can be certain it's been contained.

FCO_Vekh says:
#COMM:Arcadia: This is the Thomas again. ACO: Sir, we are requesting permission to investicate the distress call of CEO Claymore.

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Sir, preliminary scans indicate no new bugs.  However, a complete scan will take 30 minutes.  I started that process 5 minutes ago.

MO_Utoo says:
::Enters sickbay and motions for the crewmembers to put the patients on the bio-bed::

ACO_Danos says:
Comm: Thomas: Beam myself aboard first.

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Very well.  CSO: Take care of the station while I'm gone.

OPS_Danfo says:
ACO: Yes, sir!

CSO_Tyler says:
ACO: Good luck

FCO_Vekh says:
#COMM:Arcadia:ACO: As you wish, sir. Engaging transporter beam ::taps controls on his board.::

MO_Utoo says:
::Starts to scan the patients::

ACO_Danos says:
::steps off the transporter pad and heads for the Bridge::

CNS_Savar says:
#Danos: Sir.  ::Rises out of the Captain's chair::

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: Greeting, sir.

OPS_Danfo says:
::Continuing scans for new bug infestations::

ACO_Danos says:
#::takes his place in the center seat::  FCO: If youd like to take them helm, this would be a good time.  

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: Keep me posted on those scans Ensign

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Aye, sir!

MO_Utoo says:
Patient: Your going to be fine, I'll have you on your feet in a few hours

FCO_Vekh says:
#::wonder... 'I'm already here:' ACO: Aye, sir. The course to Arcadia IV is laid in. Shall I engage?

ACO_Danos says:
#FCO: Engage.

CNS_Savar says:
#::Moves to Science console and ties in tactical scanners to search for JJ as soon as we are in orbit::

OPS_Danfo says:
::feeling trepidation toward the results of the scan::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: After travelling for an hour, the Thomas arrives at Arcadia IV.

CEO_JJ says:
@::waiting::

FCO_Vekh says:
#::taps his board and engage:

MO_Utoo says:
::Starts to treat the patients::

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: Comming within visual range of Arcadia IV, sir. Entering standard orbit.

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Sir, the station is free of the insects!

ACO_Danos says:
#FCO: Good job.  Very smooth rde, the time seemed to just fly by.    CNS: Scan for the chief.

OPS_Danfo says:
::inwardly cheers::

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: Scanning for CEO JJ now.  ::Activates scanners::

MO_Utoo says:
::Sends the patients back to work::

FCO_Vekh says:
#::nods to ACO in acknowledgement::

CSO_Tyler says:
::shakes head in agreement::  OPS: very well.  ::turns to the viewscreen, stops and then turns back::  OPS: Excellent work Ensign

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Thank you, sir.

OPS_Danfo says:
::Sends crews to clean up the few remaining stains on the walls::

CNS_Savar says:
#::Console beeps:: ACO: Sir, I'm picking up two lifesigns and a wreck... transporters should be able to beam up the lifesigns.

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: now just keep an eye out for our crew mates

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: There are no further messages from the planet, sir.

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: Do you think I should go in and get something to try and make us more visible to the Thomas

ACO_Danos says:
#CNS: Energize, but be sure to run them through the bio-filter a few times.

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A storm begins to brew near Claymore's location.  It is strong enough to interfere with transporters.

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: Sir, a storm is coming up... transporters are not operational.

Host Tari says:
@Jason: They should be here by now shouldn't they.  I have a flare kit in the shuttle under the pilot's seat.

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: I suggest a shuttle, then.

ACO_Danos says:
#::nods to the CNS and then turns to the FCO::  FCO: Mr. Vekh, I take it this storm would affect a shuttle too?

MO_Utoo says:
*CSO* I am done down here, do you need me on the bridge?

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: Alright ::runs in and gets the kit then comes back out and stands on the roof of the shuttle:: ::fires Flare!::

OPS_Danfo says:
::Monitors long-range scanning::

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: The magniture I'm reading would most certainly affect a shuttle, sir. We could try to take the ship closer.

CSO_Tyler says:
*MO* : At the moment Dr. we have everything under control... please remain at your post. If we get any suprise cases i'd like your expertise on the scene to avoid possible spreading

MO_Utoo says:
*CSO* Aye sir

ACO_Danos says:
#::nods grimly and sits back down in his chair::  CNS: Blue alert, beam him off when we're in effective range, if possible.  FCO: Take us down.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The flare is misdirected by a strong gust of wind, but still gets into the clouds.

MO_Utoo says:
::Sits down at his desk and prepares for more patients::

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: Still scanning for holes ... *Transporter Room*: Stand by.

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: Aye, sir. ::taps console:: ALL: Entering Arcadia IV atmosfere ... now! ::the Thomas buckles slightly in the passage::

CSO_Tyler says:
::walks over to the replicator::  Replicator: Cocco, Hot

FCO_Vekh says:
#::a dense cover of clouds could be seen in the main viewer::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The waves near the shuttle begin to crest over the shuttle's top.  The Thomas can be seen entering the atmosphere.

CSO_Tyler says:
::takes Cocco off pad and retakes his post..  puts his nose just above the mug and takes a deep breath::

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: For a brief second, I picked up a flare... Starfleet issue

CEO_JJ says:
@Tari: We should get back into the shuttle.

ACO_Danos says:
#CNS: Good.  Do you have a sensor lock on the shuttle and its occupants?

FCO_Vekh says:
#::magnify screen resolution:: CNS: can you give me a fix on that flare?

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>@::nods in agreement and follows JJ::

CNS_Savar says:
#Vekh: It originated at the origin of the CEO's distress call

MO_Utoo says:
::Feels sorry for the Thomas crew because they have to put up with the EMH::

FCO_Vekh says:
#CNS: Thank you, sir. Comming about to take position ::sets course::

ACO_Danos says:
#::watches the crew work...not much he can do now::

CEO_JJ says:
@::hits comm badge in hopes it can be picked up:: COMM: Thomas: Thomas do you read me?

CEO_JJ says:
@COMM: Thomas: This is Lt. Claymore, do you read me?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Thomas arrives at the shuttle's position and the thrusters vibrate everything within 1000 meters.

FCO_Vekh says:
#COMM:JJ: Yes, sir. We copy you. ::turns:: ACO: Sir, it is the CEO. We located him.

CNS_Savar says:
#All: Sensors clear.  *Trans Room*: Beam two lifesigns out now.  *Cargo Trans Room*: Trqansport the shuttle up immediately.

FCO_Vekh says:
#::reinforces the SIF generators to sustain the strees of atmosferic flight::

ACO_Danos says:
#::nods to the FCO::

MO_Utoo says:
::Is sitting in sickbay::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Tari and Claymore are beamed into the transporter room.  Tari is shivering.

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: Sir, if we are done here, I suggest taking off rather quickly.

CEO_JJ says:
#::appears on Thomas:: ::is welcomed aboard by the Trans Op:: Trans OP: Thank you, Tari: You go to Sickbay I need to tell them what happened on the Bridge

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: the storm is worsening

ACO_Danos says:
#NS: You're with me.  ::heads for the transporter room::  FCO: You have the bridge.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The shuttle is beamed into the shuttle bay and the floatation devices explode due to the hard deck surface.

ACO_Danos says:
#FCO: Take us up, then.

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: Acknowledged.  ::Gets up to follow ACO::

ACO_Danos says:
#::gets into TL::  TL: Transporter room.

CEO_JJ says:
#::almost falls to floor because of rumble aboard the ship, walks over to transporter panel and presses a button:: *bridge*: what was that?

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: aye, sir. ::moves to the captains chair, as the CNS and ACO leave the bridge::

FCO_Vekh says:
#Jr_FCO: Take us back to standard orbit, now!

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Three vessels appear on the Thomas' sensors.  Arcadia picks them up as well but is powerless to do anything.

FCO_Vekh says:
#*JJ*: Greetings sir. That was just the storm getting worse by the minute. We are know moving to orbit

ACO_Danos says:
#::exits turbolift and crosses a short bit of corridor to the transporter room::

FCO_Vekh says:
#*ACO*: Sir, we have 3 contacts on the sensor screens, unidentified yet

CEO_JJ says:
#*bridge*: alright, ACO: Sir, I have bad news to report, the Orion Syndicate has taken over operations at the Mining Colony

ACO_Danos says:
#*FCO* Yellow alert.  Request identification and statement of their purpose.

FCO_Vekh says:
#Thomas_OPS: Go to yellow alert. Raise shields.

MO_Utoo says:
::Takes his raktajino and sits down::

CSO_Tyler says:
::heres the Ops panel go off::   OPS: Whats going on??

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: Then this is probably going to end up being more than a simple rescue mission.  ::slips uniform jacket off and offers it to the Trill woman::

FCO_Vekh says:
#COMM:Unidenfied ship: This is the Federation Starship USS Thomas. Please identify yourselves and state you bussiness here.

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>#Danos: T...g...hanks

CNS_Savar says:
#::Pulls out medkit in Trans Room and loads hypo for Tari:: Tari: Here... this will help

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: yes, we will have to return to the colony and take over the command center, the head of the colony, Macker, is with the syndicate, the head Orion is Bobor, we must hurry, they are already at production levels that could mean the Orions are building a fleet

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Sir, an unidentified ship is coming into range.

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: On viewer

OPS_Danfo says:
::scanning continuing:: ::ship on viewer::

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: Walk with me.  ::heads toward TL again::  First we need to return to the station and figure out just what is going on.  Then we'll need reinforcements.

MO_Utoo says:
::Runs diagnostics on all the medical equipment::

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: This is Tari, she helped me escape, she is a computer specialist from daystrom

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: Go to yellow alert.  Check the Thomas..is she taking defensive measures??

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: Yes sir, Tari: Savar will take care of you, I'll see you later

CEO_JJ says:
#::follows Danos::

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>@::waves a weak hand at everyone::

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

CNS_Savar says:
#Tari: How do you feel?

FCO_Vekh says:
#*ACO*: Sir, the ships are not responding to my hails. Permission to go to Red Alert.

ACO_Danos says:
#Tari: Good to meet you.  Wish it were under better circumstances.

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>#CNS: ccc...oo..lllll....d.

OPS_Danfo says:
::Placing station on yellow alert::

ACO_Danos says:
3*FCO* Permission granted. 

CEO_JJ says:
@::hates to leave a friend::

MO_Utoo says:
::Spills his Raktajino on the Lazer Scalpel:: Himself: Damn it ::He throws the Scalpel away and replicates another::

CNS_Savar says:
#Self: Facinating... the hypo should have taken care of that... Tari: Please follow me to the Sickbay.

OPS_Danfo says:
::Scanning Thomas for shields and weapons power::

ACO_Danos says:
#TL: Bridge.

FCO_Vekh says:
#Ship-wide: Attention all stations. Red Alert. All hands to battle stations.

MO_Utoo says:
*OPS* Whats going on??

CNS_Savar says:
#::Leads Tari to Sickbay and scans her with Tricorder::

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: Tell me, why did they target the two of you?

FCO_Vekh says:
#Thomas_OPS: Raise shields. Jr_FCO: Take us out of orbit, now! Course 220 mark 35

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The frieghters, still out of Thomas' weapons range, fire energy weapons.

CNS_Savar says:
#::Prepares hypo:: Tari: This will relieve some of the coldness.  I suggest warm liquids and some bed rest.

CEO_JJ says:
#::in turbolift:: ACO: I figure that it was the inspection, the Orions didn't know about it and they didn't want anyone to find out what was going on there. Tari is just a bystandered that got caught in the middle, she however saved my life when I was being chased on the planet

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>#CNS: I...have..nno..ppprob..lem....with...tttthat.

FCO_Vekh says:
#*ACO*: Danos, report to the bridge. The freighters are firing energy weapons upon us. Shall I return fire?

MO_Utoo says:
*CSO* Whats going on??

FCO_Vekh says:
#Jr_FCO: Evasive maneuvers!

ACO_Danos says:
#::steps onto Bridge and makes way to the command deck::  CEO:  her involvement is noted.  What did you make of their tactical capabilities?

CNS_Savar says:
#::Begins to move to replicator:: Tari: Would you prefer coffee or raktajino?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The enrgy weapons hit Thoms, but there is no damage.

ACO_Danos says:
#FCO: Evasive manuevers.

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Sir, there is weapons fire on the Thomas and she is engaged in battle.

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>#CNS: NNo....tthanks.

CSO_Tyler says:
*MO* : The Thomas is engaging an unidentified vessel . Prepare sickbay for a few patients Dr. It might be very ugly

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: They destroyed my runabout very easily but it was powered down completely, I haven't experienced much of the Orion side of their equipment or tactics

FCO_Vekh says:
#::gets up from captain's chair and hurries to his FCO console:: ACO: the Thomas was hit, but there's no damage worth mentioning. Engaging evasive maneuvers

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: How far out of weapons range are we??

CEO_JJ says:
#::wonders if he should take the XO seat or his normal Engineering station::

OPS_Danfo says:
::Scanning for range::

MO_Utoo says:
*CSO* Aye sir

ACO_Danos says:
#::nods to the FCO::  CEO: Take tactical.  Guage their shield and determine the effectiveness of return fire.

CNS_Savar says:
#Tari: Acknowledged.  I suggest you rest here.  I will turn down the lights and bring thermal blankets for you.

FCO_Vekh says:
#CEO: Sir, to my knowledge, they could be decieving us, to lure us into a trap so we think they are powerless against us.

FCO_Vekh says:
#CEO: Unfortunately, this is the Orion way...

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: Yes sir ::does as ordered:: Sir, they have heavy shields and weapons, but they are slow, if we were to get to the colony and take it over before they reach it there is a chance they will give up

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Sir, we are out of weapons range and barely able to monitor the battle.

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: How heavily guarded is their command center?

CNS_Savar says:
#::Turns down lights and brings blanket to Tari:: Tari: Rest now.

Host AGMDave says:
<Tari>#::begins to fall asleep::

FCO_Vekh says:
#::still effecting evasives, wishing he could return fire on those b***ards::

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: There were orbital defense platforms, they are very old and if we come in at the right angle they will not be able to fire before we destroy them

CSO_Tyler says:
OPS: Looks like all we can do is wait. If they get  15 minutes within weapons range sound Red Alert

OPS_Danfo says:
CSO: Aye, sir!

CNS_Savar says:
#::Softly:: Computer, moniter her condition.  If she does not improve, notify me through my commbadge.  No verbal response to this command.   ::The computer beeps::

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: Your orders, sir?

ACO_Danos says:
#CNS: Auxilliary power to shields.

CEO_JJ says:
#::notices one almost ready to fire and sends a torpedo at it::

CNS_Savar says:
#ACO: Transferring.  ::Pushes appropriate buttons::

FCO_Vekh says:
#::maneuvers the Thomas to provide JJ with the best firing window::

CEO_JJ says:
#::checks sensors:: ACO: All defensive platforms have been disabled, he can now beam down to the surface.

MO_Utoo says:
::Is wondering why he has to prepaer for casualties::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Thomas' weapons easily disable the platforms, but the frieghters reappear on LRS from behind Thomas.

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: What kind of ground defenses do they have?

FCO_Vekh says:
#ACO: freighters comming from behind sir. Shall I turn around on them?

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: I did not incounter any beyond personnel ::scans colony:: and all the personnel are moving into the Command Center

FCO_Vekh says:
#::turns the Thomas around, reinforcing forward shields:: ACO: Aye, sir.

ACO_Danos says:
#CEO: Is there any place you can seize control from that is minimally staffed?

CEO_JJ says:
#::transfer's shield power::

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: scanning

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: Outside of the command center is a landing pad, we can beam down there and then move ahead to the command center.

ACO_Danos says:
#::looks grimly at the CEO::  CEO: When we take the surface contols, you will lead the team.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The frieghters fire again, this time hitting the Thomas.  Sparks fly on the bridge.

CEO_JJ says:
#ACO: Yes sir ::has Phaser rifles sent to the Transporter rooms::

Host AGMDave says:
