CSO: If you need to correct it, do it quickly..  We don't have much time left if memory serves

Host Vowad says:
::On the main "bridge" of the Farago as of present ... attempting to gather any possible sensor data on Bellicose movements in the region that may hamper their attempts to liberate other worlds::

CSO: Hopefully containing something useful?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
*CMO*: Uh Corzi....you been to Sickbay yet?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Deactivates her padd:: CO: Not unless you consider bed linens and wool blankets very useful. ::Half grin:: This is checked in. Anything in particular you want me to do now?

CMO_Endo says:
::Sees a robot thing come towards him... wonders if this is their leader:: *MO*: Uh yeah, Hunter... wanna come down too... I feel kinda alone being the first SF guy down here

EO_Hayward says:

CTO: Already checked in.....and looked through.  ::Tosses him her padd:: Catch

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: Aye. I'll look at it when I find the bridge.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Walks into sickbay:: CMO: Hey Corzi ::looks around::

CO_Torbin says:
Tirrick: It's definitely not Starfleet, that's for sure..  Although I have to admit, I haven't seen much of it yet...

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Looks up and see Captain Tirrick::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Picks up a 2nd padd off a nearby container and crosses her arms over it, taking a step aside waiting for the CO:;

CMO_Endo says:
::Nods and smiles:: Sarna: Yes.. I see you heard about me... ::Sees Hunter walk in and motions to him:: this is my second in command, Doctor Owyn Hunter... you are the Chief Medical Officer here?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
::Nods::  Well, the Revolution volunteers are all aboard.  I understand we'll be heading out of the Rigan system in a few moments

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
Sarna: pleased to meet you.

CO_Torbin says:
Tirrick: Excellent, and good to have you with us..  I was just off to find the bridge with LtCmdr Rillian..  Care to join us?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Heads towards where he heard Kalyn's voice, and then hear's the Captains and keeps walking::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: I've heard they have a Bellicose on board have you heard anything about it either?

CMO_Endo says:
Sarna: We are pleased to be welcomed to the Farago so openly... how are things here in sickbay?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  CMO:  Primitive....the Bellicose felt little need in treating their pets

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Sees Caleb keep walking by and grins::

XO_Hall says:
::Standing on the bridge of the Fargo thinking of different techniques to use to get information from that bellicose other than force.  His thought processes are not coming up with any answers.::

CMO_Endo says:
Sarna: Their pets?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CTO: I haven't heard anything about it......doesn't mean it's not true though.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
CO:  Of course.  Lron and the rest of the Liberator command have announced a briefing in 30 minutes.  We've been asked to attend

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
Sarna: mind if i take a look around?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Examines the bridge... well for what passes for a bridge on the ship::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Isn’t' exactly at ease on this ship, it gives her a bit of the creeps::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: Well if there is. I would like to talk to them or it. Maybe get some Intel from it or what ever it is.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CTO: Get that cleared through the CO or Vowad before you do, Okay?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Rounds a bend and walks right into what appears to be a big leafy plant::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: Already planned on that. 

CO_Torbin says:
::Wonders why he never hears anything important::  Tirrick: Best not keep our friends waiting...  ::Exits the CB and heads off to what hopefully will eventually lead to the bridge::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  CMO:  Their captives...slaves....  ::Rotates to face the MO::  MO:  Of course, Lt. Hunter.  I'm afraid we don’t have much room to explore

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
::Walks with Torbin::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Hands the CO her padd with a ship's map on it::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Self: Let me guess... Life Support system aides... ::Moves around the plant and keeps walking::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: I guess we follow them. ::Pointing to the two CO's::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Looks through a limb at Tyfair::  Careful with the Fruit plants......

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:

CO_Torbin says:
::Grabs the map as he walks past and silently thanks the prophets, adjusting his course accordingly and nodding his thanks to his CSO::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: ACK!!!!!!!  ::Jumps back::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  ::the sound of a smile on her voice::  I know

CMO_Endo says:
::Shakes his head to clear the confusion:: Sarna: Sorry about that... didn't catch on for a moment... I didn't know the Bellicose were THAT cruel

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Waits on the bridge simply watching what is going on .... learning what she can ::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: Don't do that..

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Nods to the CO hoping she'll get that padd back eventually........follows the CO along::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  GNEA IS A PRAXIAN, AN AMAZON WARRIOR.  SHE IS NEARLY A FOOT TALLER THAN TYFAIR, WITH LONG BLONE HAIR THAT REACHES DOWN NEARLY TO HER KNEE'S, WRAPPED IN A TIGHT PONY TAIL.  SHE WEARS LEATHER ARMOR THAT REVEALS MORE THAN IT CONCEALS

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Snickers as he walks past the CEO::

EO_Hayward says:
::Finds a console and pulls up the specs on the spacecraft::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  SHE ALSO HAS THE SAME SORT OF BIRD-LIKE EYES THE OTHER PRAXIANS

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Composes himself::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Captain Tirrick: It has come to my attention that you have a Bellicose aboard your ship is that true?

CMO_Endo says:
Sarna: How large is your staff here... heck how large is the crew compliment? I never got a chance to find out

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Frowns, these Earth males are so confusing::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Looks up at the woman in front of him::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  I am the only.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: I'm Caleb

XO_Hall says:
:Walks around the bridge continuing to think and to wait for the meeting to begin.  He looks up for a moment to see Bela::

CMO_Endo says:
::Looks around, noticing how truly empty the sickbay is:: Sarna: The only one? But how do you care for them all?

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::As she walks by:: Gnea: Also known as Genius.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
Hall:  I take it all is well?

CO_Torbin says:
::Finally arrives on the bridge and passes the padd with map back to Kaly, but not before making a copy on his own padd for future reference::

EO_Hayward says:
Computer: Display basic technically specification on this craft, prioritize propulsion specifications.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  I am Gne...::looks at Rillian and thinks....the females aren’t any easier to understand::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Steps on the bridge::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  CMO:  I do what I can

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Looks to the entrance to the bridge and the SF officers that entered::

XO_Hall says:
CIV:  Yes, however, I am trying to gather my thoughts.  I have attempted to get information from the captured Bellicose without physically having to hurt him.

CMO_Endo says:
::Shakes his head:: Sarna: Did you ever have a larger staff?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE BRIDGE IS EXPANSIVE, WITH THE MAIN VIEWER BEING AN ACTUAL VIEWPORT THAT OPENS TO THE STARS ACROSS 75% OF THE BRIDGE.  THE HELM STATION IS BEING MANNED BY A HUGE BEARMAN FROM SILICA

CO_Torbin says:
::Overhears his XO::  XO: And it failed completely, correct?

Host Vowad says:
::Notes the arrival of the CTO::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Walking around what passes for the sickbay::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Takes the padd back........scrolling through some information::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
XO:  What is the fun in that? :: Hides a wry grin::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea:  Good to meet you Gne.  This is a fruit tree...where is the fruit?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Over hearing the XO and approaches Hall:: XO; Sir if you will permit me to try. I might be just a bit more persuasive.

XO_Hall says:
CO:  Most defiantly, Sir.  I thought maybe if we show him that we are only trying to get information but  the point is, what do we do after we get the information?  ::Turns to the CTO::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  :;Turns back to the tree and touches the leaves softly::  It is a Praxian Dy'na tree....another prize for the Khan. It refuses to bloom off of Praxis

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  Maybe.  Can you get information from him without injuring him to within an inch of its life?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  CEO:  And it is Gnea....

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: This might sound like a dumb question, but have you ever tried to trick it?

XO_Hall says:
CTO:  I wish not to hurt him but I fear that maybe necessary.

CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Wait in line Mr. Anthony..  ::Grins evilly::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
XO_Hall: I can only try. There are a few StarFleet techniques I have learned that where successful.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Several "appealing" ideas come to mind  on how to get information out of this guy ... then again  SF strictly forbids all but one and that one is borderline::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::looks at the Earther::  Yes....it is the soil.  We have no way to re-infuse it

Host Vowad says:
::Listens into the conversations of the Starfleet officers ... although it's not obvious that he can listen as his ears aren't visible::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Walks around observing the various consoles.  Watching for their function, usage and how to activate them.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Torbin: Yes, Sir. Just let me know when you would like me to start, Sir.

CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Don't worry, I'll be sure something is left for you to....  interrogate..

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea:  We do... our Medical Officer or Science Officer could probably replicate the necessary nutrients, that's what plants eat right?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  CMO:  I did...they died during the flight from captivity

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
CO: Using some of the skill picked up from our lizard "friends" , Captain?

CO_Torbin says:
::Turns to Vowad::  Vowad: Shall we start the briefing?

XO_Hall says:
CO:  I think the Bellicose would give himself before he would divulge any information.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Captain Tirrick: Who is your Tactical officer here on the bridge?

Host Vowad says:
::Seemingly, not sure to the CO though, turns to look at the CO::

CMO_Endo says:
::Looks down:: Sarna: I'm sorry... well, I'm here along with Owyn and the rest of the volunteers from the taskforce... we'll make it work better than ever ::Looks up and smiles encouragingly::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Hears Briefing and turns......asking the CO with her eyes if she should join::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: Uhh Corzi, can you come here for second.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Crysta>  ::looks at Vowad::  Vowad:  We are in position - Sekiton engines online and ready for superluminal

CO_Torbin says:
XO: That would imply we will allow him to die..  ::Notices Vowad turn to face him and wonders when the briefing will start, remembering his telepathic nature::

CMO_Endo says:
Sarna: Excuse me a moment... ::walks over to the MO:: MO: What's up, Hunter?

CO_Torbin says:
::Shrugs in response to his CSO, then changes his mind and nods::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  CEO:  Yes.....with your supplies, it could be done.

Host Vowad says:
Crysta: Engage. ::If he were Bald, English, and playing the part of a Frenchman he would point his hand out or somethin'::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Watches the command staff and follows where ever they go::

MO_LTjg_Hunter says:
CMO: this is appalling....I’ve only read about conditions like this.....Sarna must be one hell of Doc! look at this ::Picks up a rather large looking saw::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE FARAGO CHUGS THEN LEAPS TO WARP SPEEDS......

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Turns from the console she was observing and waits for Vowad and the CO::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Leans over to the CSO:: CSO: No stabilizers. ::Feeling the Jerk of the ship::

Host Vowad says:
*ALL DECKS on ALL ATTACHED SHIPS* All Officers and Off Duty Crewmen are to now proceed to the Common Room for Briefing.

EO_Hayward says:
::Is unsettled at the awkward shove into warp speed::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CTO: There's a lot of things they don't have.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Smiles at Gnea::  Gnea: I hope we can help... could you direct me to the Common Room...?

EO_Hayward says:
::pulls up his map and heads to the common room::

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Keep it down Hunter... she's the only member of the medical staff left... all the others were killed and they didn't have much to start with. I'll have modern equipment beamed over immediately

Host Vowad says:
::Hovers to a corridor, expecting the CO & co. to follow::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_LtCdr_Rillian: Hopefully they have a small fleet, but that is only a hope.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Hears the page::  CEO:  Yes...this way...::picks up something that approximates a padd in StarFleet and heads off down the corridor::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
:: Waist to follow Torbin out of the bridge::

CO_Torbin says:
CIV: Of course..  ::grins evilly again, and turns, following Vowad::

XO_Hall says:
::Shakes his head and then turns to follow the captain noticing Bela and then continuing on::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Senses Vowad's eagerness to get the proceedings underway and follows::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: Sounds like we need to head to the Briefing.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Follows the really tall woman and looks at the various doors they pass trying to get a sense of where he is::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Sarna>  ::Floats to the door::  Corzi, Owyn, coming?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Follows the rest of the crew to the briefing room::

CMO_Endo says:
::Nods:: Sarna: Be right there ::Follows Sarna::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
Sarna: Yeah ::smiles::

EO_Hayward says:
::Wanders for a bit, looking for the common room::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
Sarna: after you 

Host Vowad says:
::Arrives at the Common Room, floats in after sending a signal to the main panel next to the door::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Enters the room.......her eyes immediately drawn to the huge creature in the cage::

EO_Hayward says:
::Stumbles across the common room, almost by accident, and enters::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  AS VOWAD ENTERS, LRON OF SILICA, RAISES THE GIGANTIC HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTOR, THE CIRCULAR DEVICE SLIDES OUT OF THE FLOOR AND UP INTO POSITION

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Observers the actions of the Farago crew:: CSO: Is he a telepath by chance?

CO_Torbin says:
::Enters and throws a glare at the captured Bellicose, his mannerisms nautically changing, and not for the good::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: Is there a map of the ship I could get?  I'm completely lost and have no idea where we are going.

Host Vowad says:
::Moves past the large spherical cage in which the quite large, needs a stairmaster, Bellicose toward the holographic projector::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Walks into the Common room, and does a double take at the big nasty creature in the cage::

EO_Hayward says:
::Examines the projector, from a distance::

XO_Hall says:
::Enters the room his has seen over and again::

CMO_Endo says:
::Walks into the room and notices the thing in the cage... wondering what it is::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Moves in  with Co ::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CTO: Vowad?  Yes, he certainly is... ::Takes a spot in the back of the group......opening a new document on her padd......to jot notes.::

Host Vowad says:
::Waits for everyone else to arrive::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Enters the Common room and sees the cage approaches it and stands a few meters away staring at the Bellicose::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Helps the CEO into a lift that is bulging with other crew members, the young Praxian pressed right up to him, face to face::  CEO:  Once you get the hang of it, the layout is simple.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods to the CSO::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea:  And cramped I see..

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Walks over to stand beside Kaly:: CSO: hey Kaly.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Looks down at the CEO, eyebrow raised::

CO_Torbin says:
::Starts to move to the front, then shifts sidewise not wanting to block everyone's view with his height, his penetrating gaze never once leaving the caged Bellicose::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Smiles at Owyn:: MO: Good to see you, Owyn. ::Pats his arm::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Tries to back up a little and fails against the press of bodies::

XO_Hall says:
::Walks up to the Bellicose::  Tesla:  I'm back.  Are you going to answer any of my questions on this trip?

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  The lift stops, the doors opening right behind the CEO::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Smiles back:: CSO: I feel like I need a tetanus shot.

Host Vowad says:
::Wonders if SF officers have encountered Bellicose in person before ... and know how dangerous it is to be so close to the cage::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Backs out of the lift::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Tesla>  ::gives a smug smirk of his antennae::  Away Worm

CMO_Endo says:
::Stands in the multitude of people somewhere in the middle::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
MO: That bad?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CSO: Worse I found a saw in the sickbay.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Stands behind and to the right of the Co, not exactly liking what she is seeing before her::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
To Self: Tesla. Hhhmmm a name I haven't heard of in a long time. A very long time.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
MO: You found a what? ::Totally blank stare::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Gnea: Now where too?

EO_Hayward says:
::wonders if the Bellicose fold knowledge could be extracted without harming  him::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CSO: You heard me.  I’ve only read about conditions like that....its inhuman...reminds me of research I did in high school on Medicine of the 18th Century

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
MO: I hope you brought some of your own equipment, Owyn.......You aren't using a saw on me.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE COMMON ROOM SLOWLY FILLS WITH MOST OF THE ELDERS, OFFICERS, AND VOLUNTEERS NOT IMMEDIATELY ON DUTY.  THE ROOM IS NEAR CAPACITY

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Motions for the CEO to follow::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Whispers to Tesla:: Tesla: If you talk to me I can get you something. Just let me know when you want to talk.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Feels like a sheep following Gnea::

Host Vowad says:
::Hovers to a height so he is visible by all::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CSO: Corzi said he had some stuff beamed over..

XO_Hall says:
Tesla: ::Whispers loud enough for Tesla to hear him::  Tesla, I give you respect enough to call you by your name.  Why can you not call me anything other than Worm.  I have a name.  William Hall.  Can you just humor me once and call me by my name you sluggish targ.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Heads down a hallway, following the line of people into the briefing room::

XO_Hall says:
::Tries yet another tactic::

EO_Hayward says:
::notices Tyfair with a strange looking alien::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
MO: That's right....I checked the medical equipment in.   Please tell me there's more I didn't check in.  Please.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::As Caleb enters the room behind Gnea, he sees the large spherical cage, and stops in his tracks.  His eyes locking on the creature inside::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CSO: I don’t know I wasn’t in charge of that portion he was.  I  was busy downloading medical records and such.

Host Vowad says:
::Amplifies voice:: ALL: Our first mission will be to Silica. Our intent is liberation.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE DOORS SHUT AND THE LIGHTS DIM.  THE HOLOPROJECTOR WINKS TO LIFE, THE PROJECTED IMAGE OF THE WORLD SILICA SPRINGS TO LIFE, FILLING THE ROOM WITH A BLUE GLOW

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Senses a sudden and terrible terror coming from someone in the room......her eyes search for who it is::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::His black eyes seem to ripple in barely contained fear as he tries to back up... running into the closed door.  Quickly turning he literally claws at the seam in the door trying to get it opened::

CO_Torbin says:
:Vvery forcibly rips his gaze from the Bellicose to the view screen and turns one ear to listen..  while thinking about how similar to the resistance this mission has the makings of being::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns to look at the Holo-projection::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Gnea>  ::Looks at the odd human, her voice a thin whisper::  CEO:  What are you doing?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::He gropes his way to the edge of the door looking for a panel to open the door... can't find one.. lets out a sound of fear, before trying the other side, completely ignoring Gnea::

Host Vowad says:
ALL: Reports from those who have managed to join our cause who have been on the planet recently report that there is a small garrison of inorganics on the surface. Whether or not there are any severe Bellicose emplacements is unknown.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Sees Caleb.......and inches her way toward him....laying a soothing hand on his arm::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods his head::

CO_Torbin says:
::Notices the CEO acting strange, even for him, and deduces that it has something to do with the Bellicose..  debates involving himself but refrains, allowing his 2nd officer to handle it while trying to calm himself back down from resistance fighter to Starfleet Captain::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Darting his frightened eyes around the room he tries to locate another door but sees none, and goes back to trying to claw at the door, the black of his eyes seeming to swirl in on itself::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Feels overwhelmed by the emotions suddenly.......fear from Caleb......discouragement from the  Silican’s.......sees the access panel for the door and presses it opening it::

XO_Hall says:
::Listens to Vowad while eyeing Tesla::

Host Vowad says:
ALL: We will assume the worst. The inorganics are of course the worst threat, as many of us know. I am unsure of the United Federation of Planet's encounters with the Inorganics, I will assume they are Tactically prepared for engagement.

::Stands , and listens, but always keeping an eye on the captain::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Kami>  ::The small Catman of Garuda stands and approaches the projection::  It is likely the garrison will be centered around the Capital city here - it is likely the hive and the Brain controlling the inorganics are there::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Outloud: We've had 2 years to prepare since our last encounter with them.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::As the door opens, Caleb stumbles forward before taking off as fast as he can down the hallway away from the Briefing room::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Kami>  If we destroy the brain, then Silica is ours.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Takes off after the CEO at a run:: CEO: Caleb.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Is too frightened to even look behind him, he just keeps running, knowing he just has to get away and hide::

CMO_Endo says:
::Listens.. trying to make sense of it all::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Hears the rumbling behind him, turns and look into the chest of a Huge bear like thing::

Host Vowad says:
::Brings up a holographic image of the Bellicose Brain::

EO_Hayward says:
::Studies the image::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Easily outdistances Kalyn, before catching view of a ventilation hatch, he tears it off, cutting his hands and crawling inside and away::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Vowad: Excuse my interruption. But do you have any communications with the planet?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Eyes raise to look the bear like thing in the eye::

Host Vowad says:
::The image is that of a huge tank of a massive brain [20 feet across] anchored by a spina column feature to the base of the tank::

Host Vowad says:
CTO: There have been none.

CO_Torbin says:
::Memorizing all the images..  yup..  just like the days in the resistance...  and ponders having the CTO remain quiet::

CMO_Endo says:
::Remembers the brain::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Vowad: Do the Bellicose have any communications links there that we could tap into?

Host Vowad says:
::Slightly minimizes the brain image to the side of the holographic "screen," to show the Inorganic targets: The General Bellicose, those which Starfleet engaged in hand to hand combat two years ago, as well as the ones the Claymore encounters on Riga and in the Q’orphod ship ...::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Turns a corner and doesn't see the CEO anymore........still senses the intense fear coming from the area......walks the hall and sees the blood on the floor.........gently opens the ventilation shaft to see Caleb........Her eyes filled with concern::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE REST OF THE GROUP CAN HEAR SOME OF THE SILICANS GROWLING

Host Vowad says:
:: ... along with the updated models, including those with the saws in their limbs, and the Wolves::

Host Vowad says:
CTO: That is currently unknown.

CMO_Endo says:
::Looks towards the growling::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Huddles at a juncture his arms wrapped tightly around his legs, eyes frantic::

CMO_Endo says:
::Divides his attention between the images and the growling::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Beginning to wonder what Torbin had gotten them into and realizing that fighting Cardassian might be an easier task then what was being thrown at them ::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods his head:: To Self: hhhmmm this is going to be very difficult to conduct a raid operation.

EO_Hayward says:
::disturbed by the grumbling::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Crawls in slowly......her voice gentle:: CEO: Caleb.......It's just me.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Looks Kalyn directly in the eyes, and yet looks right through here::   Rillian:   .....Bellicose...

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
;:Turns to look for the CSO::

Host Vowad says:
ALL: The attack must be concentrated on the Brain. Once the Brain falls, the planet will be ours. Anything else is inconsequential.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Yes.......back there, but it's just me here.....

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Very unnerved by the grumbling of the large Bearmen::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  AS VOWAD SPEAKS, LRON, THE ELDEST OF THE SILICANS REPRESENTED THERE LEAPS TO HIS FEET.  HIS VOICE IS DEEP AND IS FELT AS MUCH AS IT IS HEARD

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<LRON> NO!  WE MUST NOT!

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns and sees the door is open slightyl::

Host Vowad says:
::Does not turn, but directs attention to Lron::

CMO_Endo says:
::Looks at Lron::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Wonders what has gotten into that guy::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns and hears the voice::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Sees the  blood and tears part of her sleeve off taking his hand........applying pressure to the cut::

CO_Torbin says:
::Finally decides to allow himself to slip partially into his resistance fighter self as he begins planning possible mission outlines and resolving that nothing will injure his Neoma and live::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Looks over at Lron, raising in eyebrow::

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Lron: Why not?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Inches his way over to the CMO::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
Lron:  THE BELLICOSE...........::His voice lowers, his body trembling::  The bellicose have hostages.............::Looks down, shuddering::....

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: <W> This could get ugly...

XO_Hall says:
::continues to listen to the briefing while standing near the sphere::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Feels the sting as Kalyn touches the cut and sort of snaps out of the fear trance::  Rillian: OWWW!!

CO_Torbin says:
::Hostages?  well, this complicates matters slightly::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Lron>  They have our children........

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Calm down.... don't worry...

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Mumbles:: What kind of hostages.......

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Lron: Do you know where they are holding them at?

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Loud::  Children? ::Looks to the CO::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Sorry......::Presses gently::

CO_Torbin says:
::Children?  great, not even expendable hostages..  changes gears to a multiple pronged assault::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Lron>  CTO:  Even if we did, it wouldn’t matter.....if we rebel, they will kill them all.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian: Why are we in a ... err.. ventilation system?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: <W> I’m perfectly calm just thought of 10 foot tall Bears going on a rampage and tearing us into especially gooey bits is a bit unnerving.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Things won't get ugly... at least not here...

CMO_Endo says:
MO: They haven't done it yet, why would they do it now?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: Don’t know...

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: You seriously don't know?

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Shrugs::

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Under breath::  You don't hurt children and live.....

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Lron: As an old Vulcan proverb once was said. The Need of the many out way the need of the few. I am sure we can rescue them, maybe not all, but most of them. I would need as much data on the stronghold then.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Takes Caleb's other hand and turns it over seeing if he cut that one too while keeping pressure on the first::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian:  No... I was just following Gnea.. and then you made my hand hurt.

CO_Torbin says:
::Decides to speak up::  Vowad/Lron: It seems that a multiple pronged assault is the best course of action..  I have no desire to see hostages, especially children, injured, but failing to take action because of that is far more dangerous than taking action and having them die..  At least in death they will be free of the Bellicose.

CMO_Endo says:
::Silently unsheathes his knife and takes it by the blade and hands it to the MO:: MO: Just in case.

Host Vowad says:
::Considers it ... calculates their chance of success::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Gee, thanks........You don't remember what you saw in the meeting room?  ::Wishes she had a med-kit::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Lron>  ::glares at the CTO, his teeth baring, then at the CO::  Madness.....how you....can speak of the slaughter of children as acceptable losses.  ::large hands grip into knots, knuckles cracking::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Looks at the CMO:: CMO: I’ve got mine ::Lifts up his sleeve to produce the stiletto shape of a British Commando Dagger::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian: Besides Gnea's Back... no.

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
ACTION:  THE OTHER SILICAN DELEGATES BEGIN GROWLING AUDIBLY NOW

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns to Tesla:: Tesla: How can a races take children hostage. Your no worse than the slime you come out of.

EO_Hayward says:
::Cringes at the thought of dead children::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad/Lron: Of course not..  Given our small number, no loss is ever acceptable...  But if you study the history of my people, you would know we faced a similar situation.

CMO_Endo says:
::Grabs it by the handle and re-sheaths it:: MO: Then you'll be fine... just don't commit any instigatory actions

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Might be a good idea if you steer clear of that room then, Caleb........There was...a Bellicose in there.....::Applies more pressure on the cut to make sure he doesn't blank on her again::

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CMO: no problem.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Nods in an agreement with the CO::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Lron>  Torbin:  The hell with your history - these are not your children - and it is a decision that WE, not you will make.

Host Vowad says:
::To tell the truth, he was never permitted to gather any knowledge on the UFP ... but does not speak yet::

Host Captain_Tirrick says:
<Kami>  All:  perhaps if we got onto the surface undetected, we could slip in, destory the brain and free the children.....

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad/Lron: Rather than cower and do nothing for fear of the children being injured..  This should be used as motivation for our goal to succeed.  They are counting on us to do nothing, which is exactly why we should do something.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian:  You aren't serious... wow, what do they look like?

CMO_Endo says:
::Decides to speak up:: Lron: You may want to listen to him... he knows what he says and what must be done.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Lron: I know children are our greatest asset in life. We will try everything in our power to not see any child get hurt. I have 2 children of my own as well.

EO_Hayward says:
::Formulates a plan to remotely disable the brain::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad/Lron: Rescuing hostages without death isn't as hard as it may seem.  It can be done, but only if we are all together and willing to do it.  Divided, then we are all as good as dead.

Host Vowad says:
CO/Lron: I am in agreement.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Takes a step closer  to the CO, she is not in a good mood. especially having her people insulted::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Quite tall, Very largely built, not particularly good looking either.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian:  And can we get out of this vent.. my leg is falling asleep.

MO_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Just keeps quiet, thinking of his little sister::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad/Lron: And quite frankly, I am amazed that you believe the Bellicose will allow those children to live, regardless of what we do to them.  Once they have seen we have backed down, they will still be killed, only by then, we will be powerless to help them...  or anyone else.

CMO_Endo says:
MO: Looks like we have further to go than I thought

Host Vowad says:
::Considers something:: CO/Lron: Perhaps there is a way we could get onto Silica without being detected ... ::Turns, only slightly noticeable by the light reflecting off his metallic structure as he moves to view Tesla:: We use the Bellicose to get there.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
::Ties the cloth around his hand securely.......wanting to scoff a bit:: CEO: You lead us in here, Genius.  I just followed. ::Turns and starts out on her hands and knees::

Host Vowad says:
CO/Lron: We make the Garrison think we are there to collect more creatures for the zoo?

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Nods his head toward Lron:: CO: I will come up with some plans to rescue the children first. If Lron will help me in the layout of the compound and the surrounding area, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Follows Rillian out::  Rillian: Why did I lead you to a ventilation duct?  ::Obviously confused::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: That might work..  and for the record, just how strong of a telepath are you?  ::nods to the CTO::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: You were running from the Bellicose, Caleb.  Quite fast too.......Okay, so if Baseball isn't your thing maybe Track is.

CIV_Neoma_Jazz says:
::Silently Fuming ::

Host Vowad says:
CO: I am not strong enough to breach a Bellicose mind. That has been attempted. No telepath can read them.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian: I don't understand.. was it chasing me?

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: No single telepath..  but what about multiple telepaths working in tandem with each other?

Host Vowad says:
::Nearly uses the Mind-Download word ... but chooses to use Telepath to accommodate the CO::

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: No.....It was caged, Caleb......but you started clawing the door of the meeting roomto get out.....and when I opened it you took off in terror and hid in there.

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
::Turns to the Bellicose:: Tesla: Your tranny has come to an end with us.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Rillian: I don't remember that...

Host Vowad says:
CO: I am not sure that would work. But it could be attempted.

CSO_LtCdr_Rillian says:
CEO: Well, you may want to steer clear of that room is all.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Still Confused::  Rillian: Okay

CTO-Mark-Anthony says:
Tesla: Nothing to say on your behalf huh? I would think you would say something. ;:Stareing boldly at the Bellicose::

CO_Torbin says:
Vowad: I will leave that decision up to you, but I have several Vulcans among my volunteers and they have strong mental discipline, as well as my telepathic Betazoid CSO that you already met.
