Host TomG says:
RECAP: Last week, the AT led by LtCmdr SKywise was captured, with only the somewhat slow Ensign Skywise managing to escape to the relative safety of the shuttlecraft.  The XO, CMO, TO, and EO were taken to the heavily shielded hive, had their EVA helmets ripped off, and were thrown outside, at the mercy of the atmosphere..  and the Hive.  As we pick up, the captured AT members are unconscious, or almost unconscious, and the nightmares are starting...

<< BEGIN Claymore Episode 56 -- The Enemy Within >>

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: They are onboard the Claymore, various unknown personnel are operating the consoles of the bridge while the husband and wife sit in the center and executive officer chair. The Captain and her husband. A fitting future ... or so it seems ...

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: He finds himself amidst one of the corridors of a Borg cube. Various people he's known in the past and the present are being assimilated before him. The Borg drones ignore him, he can feel their chilling presence, but they do not seem to notice him.

CO_Captain_Hall says:
::Moves down to the helm::  CTO: Understood.  Ready to make the attacking run Lt?

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
*Sickbay*: Prepare for injured.

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_Hall: Aye, Sir. I have scanned the area and loaded the possible targets into the computer for you.

Host Uaoner says:

Host Uaoner says:
EO DREAM: He is in Main Engineering of the Claymore all by himself. The entire room has been taken apart, wires and isolinear chips [gel packs, whatever] hanging here and there ... a gigantic mess. He is all alone ... and deep inside, he knows that if he does not repair it ... others will pay for it ...

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: The CMO's weapon passes right through the Borg XO, as if the CMO were a ghost.

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: The Borg XO turns and acknowledges the CMO for a moment, studying him. But then just walks around him. He is unimportant. Irrelevant.

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Looks back at Kaly oddly at the sharp tone::  XO:  Aye ma'am.   ::Enters the command to move the ship to high orbit::

CO_Captain_Hall says:
CTO:  Understood.  ::Pushing controls::

CO_Captain_Hall says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Lt. Tyfair.

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Fires the phasers at second target::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: What did you do?  Get us out of the atmosphere now!

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: His weapon once again passes through this drone, which ignores him completely. The drone walks over to the side, and begins to attach a new mechanical limb in replacement for the limb of a part Borg woman. After a moment, the CMO realises it's Quinn, the ex-Q'Orphod robot known as Thumbelina.

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::looks around wildly::  XO:  I don't know!!!  You said low orbit... it's not my fault!

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: Not your fault?  I said high not skim the surface!  Get us out of here.....

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: The Operations Console explodes, killing the young Ensign there instantly. The Akira Class starship dips into a dive ... plummeting through the upper atmosphere.

CO_Captain_Hall says:
CTO:  ::Brings the ship about changing the course somewhat::  Beginning Third run.

TO_Ens_Pierce says:
$::Finds herself at the river and kneels down to look into the water::

CNS_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Begins his scan of the FCO, the Nurses work on the leg while Hunter works on reversing what ever happened to the FCO’s neural pathways::

CO_Captain_Hall says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Lt. Tyfair.  How are things with the shuttles coming?

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CSO_Lt_TShara: Scan for the Away team DNA signatures.

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
Computer:  Once containment field has been engaged all access to controls within Shuttle bay one are to be deactivated.

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: Well get it working! ::Yells at engineering for emergency maintenance::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: THE TORPEDO VOLLEY FROM THE CLAYMORE DOES SLIGHTLY MORE DAMAGE.  HIVE SHIELDING AT 85% AND HOLDING..

CSO_Lt_TShara says:
CTO: Aye Lt.

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
%::Very frustrated:: Quinn: I'm trying to kill you! It won't let me! ::Tries stabbing her with the knife in many different places::

EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Begins hallucinating unknown engineers...all looking identical....he opens his mouth to speak, none of them move, all around him things are systematically falling apart, feels helpless. The clone/crewman are ignoring him while he goes an a tirade::

Host Uaoner says:
@ ::One of the Scientists monitors the dream of the XO. He states that Starfleet's Akira Class Starship cannot enter into the atmosphere of a planet. Uaoner nods, and notes the sudden assault. He fears not ... knowing their Inorganic legions will slaughter those who try to invade::

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: Quinn's humanity fades away as her mind fully seeps into the Collective Consciousness. Borg Drones come between the CMO and Quinn, and she is gone. He could not even kill her ...

CSO_Lt_TShara says:
*CTO*:  Acknowledged.

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Frantically pushing controls::  XO:  Kaly!  I don't remember the commands!  I can't do this!  ::Looks around at the rest of the crew for help, but he can't seem to talk to them::

@:: Blather.....they are all Blather............I can't do it alone!::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#::Pounds her fist on her chair:: FCO: On duty I'm Ma'am and how can you NOT remember the commands!

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: The other officers on the bridge of the Claymore smirk at the two. They are no longer Starfleet officers, but are leather clad Storm personnel. One by one, they start to clap as the Claymore begins it's steeper dive.

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
Computer:  Set shuttle lockdown and containment activation once the shuttles touchdown.

CSO_Lt_TShara says:
::Continues scanning for any sign of the AT.::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#::Picks up a phaser and starts shooting those clapping::

::Fries on 2nd and 3rd targets with phasers::

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:

CMO_Lt_Endo_ says:
%::Tries stabbing some of them::

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: The Borg drones ignore the CMO and continue on. They do not even show any pity for the man.

CNS_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Still working on the FCO::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: No....they were Storm...::Looks over at the one nearest to her and it looks like Owyn:: …..OWYN!!  No....No.....I can't have killed you.

EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Hits his combadge:: *Tyfair*: Where are you?  ::Waivers under the stress::

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: The Claymore's nacelles start to buckle and rip off ... they've entered into the lower atmospheric regions.

CSO_Lt_TShara says:
*CTO*: Nothing so far Lt.  I am still checking.

Host Uaoner says:
EO DREAM: The EO gets no response. Tyfair is gone ... he has no support. Not from the motionless Engineering personnel. Not from anyone.

CO_Captain_Hall says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Tyfair.  Are your shuttles and teams ready?

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: Nate.....Get us out of here......::Sliding into her chair totally blank faced::

ACTION: AFTER MULTIPLE ATTACKS FROM THE CLAYMORE, HIVE SHIELDING HAS DROPPED TO 65% BUT IS STILL HOLDING.

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_Hall: We are doing some damage to there shielding, but I can't find the main power source.

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#FCO: I didn't....I couldn't have.....

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Exits the shuttle and see his Med Team loading up into the shuttle, and moves himself to the Environmental suit storage area, which oddly smells like week-old cheese::

@::Croaks:: Tyfair? Anyone?

CSO_Lt_TShara says:

CO_Captain_Hall says:
*CEO*:  As soon as the shields are dropped on Garuda, the CTO will come to join you with several Security Teams.  I will contact you when we are ready to begin the rescue mission.  Hall out.

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: They both hear a voice, "He's right you know, how could you kill your own crew ..." Captain Varel stands nearby, wearing a similar black suit as the Storm personnel did earlier. "You're not fit to be in command of this ship." Varel vanishes as the Claymore seemingly reaches the stage of the crash. They can both see it on screen ...

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Stares at the helm... then at the planet rushing up on the screen....  he knows he should be able to fix this... but the panel is like something he's never seen::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#::Sees her former CO and covers her head as if to prepare for the crash::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
CO_Captain_Hall: The Hive shielding is down to 65% as of now.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Hall* There is not enough room on the shuttle for myself, a Med Team, plus the crew down there.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Puts on the least rank smelling Environmental suit::

Host Uaoner says:
CMO DREAM: The cuts appear on the CMO for a moment ... then instantly fade away. He can do nothing. Not even take his life.

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Stares at the screen in utter fear and the knowledge that he has failed his ship and his wife::

CNS_Ltjg_Hunter says:
::Summons the Neural surgeon.::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
*Hall*:  I'm not going to be able to take multiple security teams as well.

EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Screams at the crewmembers:: Do you  all want to die! Wake up!

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
::Keeps his phasers concentrated on the Hive shielding::

Host Uaoner says:
XO/FCO DREAM: The Claymore crashes. But it is not like they would expect ... one minute they're falling, the next it is over. Everything is dark ... smoke and darkness ... choking them both.

CO_Captain_Hall says:
::Continues making several attacking runs::  *CNS*:  Understood.  Continue your work.  *CEO*:  The CTO and his teams will take another shuttle.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:

Host Uaoner says:
TO DREAM: She senses another presence. And across the river she sees a Klingon targ sipping some water as well.

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Coughing... choking::  XO:  Kal...?

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:

%::Walks into the locker room and changes into the uniform and sees Gonzo:: Gonzo: Hey Gonzo, congrats on making the All-Star game... no one deserves it more... I guess we'll both be going to Seattle, huh? Maybe Jay will make it too.

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Turns and fires on the scrim near the shuttle::

OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Acknowledged Captain.

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#::Mumbling:: FCO: I'm sorry, Nate.

CO_Captain_Hall says:
COMM:  CTO:  Move the Mr. Hunter to the quarantine shuttle.  We cannot risk beaming him aboard.

CNS_Ltjg_Hunter says:
CTO:  ::looks up at the CTO:: Sorry, Sir.....::Collapses on the ground::

Host The_Inorganics says:
:: But soon, the program meets something familiar and uses it to it's advantage. The Odeon feels like it's time to sleep and regenerate, so it does::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: ONLY A COUPLE SCRIMS REMAIN, THE BULK OF THE REMAINING INORGANICS ARE ODEON.

Host The_Inorganics says:
::The slow, dumb, Odeon move from the shadows as a few more Scrim leap out::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@CEO: Can you get him into the shuttle quarantine area?

TO_Ens_Pierce says:
$::Her ghostly clone disappears as she suddenly remembers all that had happened since the away team:: Self: Am I dying?

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
%::Jogs out on to the field once he's done::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Fires on the scrims again::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
Anthony:  I'm kinda still being held by Mister Friendly here, though he isn't squeezing anymore.

Host The_Inorganics says:
::The Scrim outmaneuver the phaser blasts this time. They are quite fast.::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Turns and fires at the dead scrim holding on to the CEO.::

EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Watches the blood run down his arm, holding his hand up to watch it rool down:: Self: The dead don't bleed.

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
%::Starts playing catch with Jay Bell, working on pretty catching moves::

XO_LtCdr_Skywise says:
#::Turns slowly and walks off::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Set his phaser to wide beam::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: AS THE SCRIMS GET WITHIN RANGE OF THE CEO, THEY SUDDENLY CLICK AND ENTER THE SLEEP MODE.

Host The_Inorganics says:
::As the Scrims have realized they are being defeated by the Starfleet personnel, they have now attempted a new tactic, diversion to protect the Bellicose scientists during their evacuation::

FCO_Ens_Skywise says:
#::Falls to his knees and begins shaking.::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Whacks on the Odeon's arm::  Odeon: Lemme go you sleeping Oaf.

Host The_Inorganics says:
::The initial Odeon remains asleep::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@CEO: Lets get our people and get out of here.

Host The_Inorganics says:
::The quite fast moving Scrim that come into range of the CEO's "field" suddenly click and fall asleep. The really fast moving ones crash to the ground and slide away in their regenerative state::

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
%::Walks over to the stands and begins signing balls even though the DBacks are not at home::

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All:  Could someone chop this guys hand off or something?  ::Feet still dangling a few centimeters above the ground, his Haydonite Translator hovering nearby almost useless::

Host The_Inorganics says:
::The Scrim have now learned to avoid the CEO, and go straight for the other members of the team. The Odeon are slowly moving, but are not as smart. One enters the "field" and clicks for a few moments as it's processors are slowly tampered with, before totally succumbing to the CEO & EO's workings::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Grabs the Odeon’s arm and pull it off::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: SEVERAL REMAINING CLAYMORE SECURITY PERSONNEL THROW OVERLOADING PHASERS AT THE FEET OF THE ODEON.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Wishes he had a plasma torch::

Host The_Inorganics says:
::One Odeon bends down to look at the pretty, slightly sparking thing::

Host The_Inorganics says:
::With a creak, the initial Odeon's massive hand is removed from the CEO's right arm, permitting him to slide out::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Hears the hum of an overloading phaser:: CEO: Take cover!

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Finally gets his feet on the ground and cradles his arm as he rushes towards the med shuttle::

EO_Ltjg_Hayward says:
@::Begins to hum a tune, just watching himself bleed, on a whim, tastes his own blood to make sure its human.::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: AS THE ODEONS STOP AND STARE, THE PHASERS BEGIN HUMMING QUITE RAPIDLY, THEN SUDDENLY OVERLOAD.  THE RESULTING EXPLOSION RIPS THE ODEON TO PIECES, MANY OF WHICH SLAM INTO THE REMAINING SCRIM, TAKING THEM ALL OUT AS WELL.

CMO_Lt_Endo says:
%::Jogs into the dugout once Scott Elarton finished warming up and suddenly the game starts::

CTO-Lt-Mark-Anthony says:
@::Grabs the CNS and drags him to a safe distance::

Host TomG says:
ACTION: AN ERIE SILENCE FILLS THE AIR AS THE MASSIVE BATTLE FINALLY ENDS.

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
::Sighs as a Medic administers a pain reliever, and checks out his arm::

CO_Captain_Hall says:
CSO:  Do you have the results of the diagnostic yet?

CEO_Lt_Tyfair says:
All: I guess you guys want that Tricorder program..?
