Our undesired hosts are apparently keeping close watch on us. Our situation has changed and the crew appears to have been split up. For what reason, I don’t know. But it won’t be for long if we can do anything about it. It is my belief that our captors will show their hand soon and we’ll know what this is all about, but I don’t intend to wait around to find out they have demands we’re unwilling to pay.

MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
CEO: Sir do you get the feeling we in a hogan hero's script?

:: Turns and eyes the captain's height and then stretches her arms upward.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:

Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::not giving t he Ferengi his full attention:: CNS: Keep it up. Remember to move if you hear anything. ::walks back down the middle of the Barracks, stopping by where the other men and women are working::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
CEO: Surly you seen seen Hogan's Hero sir, it a old earth classic.  About Stalag 13.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
NCPO: Nope, never saw it, sorry.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The door and windows all open at once to reveal a beautiful summer day with sweet smelling air, green grass and tall trees for as far as the eye can see.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Unfortunately, staring at the replicator will accomplish nothing.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: steps back startled.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Dodges the door quickly and falls to the floor.::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::grumbles something about officers and youths::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: feeling a breeze, turns around to see the doors open::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Outloud:  Ooof.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
Dr_Ahkileez:  I'm beginning to realize that, but to be honest, I don't have any...
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
CEO/CTO/MCPO: And the weapons? ::turns as he hears the noise::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Walks over to the door and helps the counselor up.::  CNS:  That was too easy.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
Dr_Ahkileez:  Or then again, maybe it does.  ::Smiles obliviously::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
CO:  Doors open sir.  ::Starts to stand up.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::The security personnel in the barracks gasp, some snap to attention ... preparing for a fight. Selan remains quiet, and looks around:: ALL: Well, it seems we have an avenue of exit.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CO: We could strangle someone
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: shrugs lightly and walks toward the door along with others.::
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
:: winces at the bright sunlight and frowns at the greenery and heat :: Self: I miss winter back home...
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Nods to Dr. Ahkileez.::  Dr.:  Yes looks like our friends want to give us some time outside.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Those crewmembers with sensitive brainwaves will get the feeling that there is an intelligence hovering over them with a massive amount of curiosity.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::stops and looks as the doors and windows open.::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::holds up a finger:: CEO: Hold that thought... ::glances at Ki:: CTO: Lieutenant... ::moves toward the door, warily::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Feels ... somewhat nauseous, but tries to overcome the feeling. Using his cane, he stands himself up::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::walks towards the door purposefully::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Watches as Ki moves toward the door::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CNS: Play time huh?  :: Peeks through the door::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::sticks his head out the door::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::looking around:: All: Anyone else feel that?
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Frowns and looks at her husband:: ~~~~ CO: I sense...~~~~ :: shakes her head questioningly.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Dusts himself off.::  CSO:  Well all good little pets need to get out and stretch a little.  ::Turns and smiles to Lt Senn.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steps "outside"::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Feel what?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks to the door, feeling the heat from the sun and is relieved to see it even if it is a holoprojection.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::calls back::  CO:  Looks safe enough.  I can see other barracks.
aTO_Krrn says:
:;stands in front of the replicator:: Computer::   a glass of water please
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at Ki and shrugs in agreement.::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
:;glances up with a strange expression on his face:: All: It's like somebody's watching.... waiting to see what we'll do. ::snaps a glance back down:: CTO: Wait right there, don't leave the premises yet. See if you can see anyone in any other doorway.
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
:: follows the XO and starts rolling up his sleeves ::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::can feel a presence as if someone is watching them.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::holds position and peers towards the other barracks::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::Waits for order::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::smiles tightly:: All: They're waiting to see what we're going to do. I'm sure of it.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Leans against the wall, waiting for some instruction::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::calls back::  CO:  I think I see the Exec standing in a doorway.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::walks out the door and looks around and sees what appears to be a big courtyard.  Notices what looks like the CSO at one of the buildings.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Sooo... we are an experiment?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: frowns at that thought.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Outloud:  Well if they are watching they are currently laughing seeing all the little mice peer out the cage door.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
CTO: T'Shara? ::crosses to the threshold and looks out, waving an arm::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Waves to the XO::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Moves slowly to the door:: Sec. Unus / Sec. Duo / Sec. Tria & Sec. Quattor: Spread out from the barracks, secure the area. ALL: The remainder of you, follow me once the area is secure.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Smiles a bit at Renor's remark, but remains quiet, pleased to remain in a more observational mode::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Sitting cross-legged on the bottom bunk of a barrack bed, with a thoughtful, almost curious look upon her face, mentally distant from her current place as her team continue their tasks::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::turns back to the TO.:: FCO/aTO: Krrn what do you make of this
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::walks outside and looks up::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  And I think I see some tactical types moving around.  Must be Commander Selan's group.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::turns back to his wife and nods:: Kela/CSO: I think Lieutenant Senn was right.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
<4 Sec. Officers> ::Unus, Duo, Tria and Quattor exit the barracks to look around, noting the other barracks nearby::
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
XO: Someone should turn down the sun and turn up the air conditioning :: frowns ::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::raises his voice:: All: We can't waste this opportunity. Everyone, take your stuff, grab whatever you made and let's go. Security, I want you to start a headcount as soon as you're out there.
aTO_Krrn says:
:;takes his glass of water:: XO:: Well at least it works
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Sees the CO and CSO instead of waving nods.::   All: Grab whatever you can that might be used as weapons that you have made and let's try and meet up with the Captain and the crew before the doors close again.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Follows the first four, being followed by security officers - Quinque, Sext, Septem, Octo, Novem, Decem, Undecim, and Duodecim::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Watches and laughs a little at the underlying comic value of the situation.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Finds her gaze drifting toward the door and out into the pleasant surroundings...Becomes more present as she notes the medical personnel et al have also taken attention::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::has no stuff, so walks out into the courtyard, trying to ignore feeling like a bug under a magnifying glass::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::waits by the doorway for everyone to exit, unwilling to leave anyone accidentally behind:: All: Move quickly to the center of the yard.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Sees the rest of the crew exiting the other barracks, feels some relief::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Stands and moves to the doorway, glancing to the captain with a brief nod as he exits::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::makes her way with the others toward the Captain and the others.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Follows the crew as they exit not wanting to miss anything.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::seeing the others, heads for the center of the courtyard::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: trying to remember what she had been right about, steps through with the others.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the crew all move towards the courtyard, they can hear a piercing cry of a winged animal high above them.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::takes his wife's hand and walks with her out to the center of the field once he's sure everyone in his group is out::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Raises a hand, silently motioning them to hold their positions, and quietly stands, walking over by the Ahkileez children, resting a hand gently upon Jerni's shoulder::  Sokov: Take a look out the door, but do not pass the threshold yet.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::reaches the center of the courtyard.   Looks up::
MCPO_Schluesselbenutzer says:
::follows the rest of the crew::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::looks up again::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Moves out toward the children who come running toward her and their father.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
All:  And cue the action sequences.  ::Turns back to the barrack.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks up::
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
:: follows the XO ::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Looks upward:: Security: Team Alpha, prepare to secure the senior staff!
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Kneeling down, wraps her arms around the group of them.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shudders and begins a head count::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  MO:  Right away, ma'am.  ::Walks to the door and looks outside::  Doctor, it appears some of our crew is gathering in an area outside.  There are other barracks that outwardly appear to be similar to our own.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
<"The Twelve" Security Staff> ::Nervous, but ready to protect their superiors::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
:: stops in the middle of the field and looks up before calling to T'Shara:: XO: T'Shara! Have everyone head back to the buildings. Nobody goes back inside yet. But be prepared to.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::looks up and rushes over to the Captain.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Bites her lip as the children pull away from her, running after their parents:: Jerni: Jerni...!
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Turns to everyone.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stops back at the barrack door before looking up holding his hand over the bright sun.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
Children: I hope you have been good.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Looks up as Keiran points up with awe.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  ::Unable to prevent the children from exiting as they run past::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
All: Head back to the buildings ::turns and looks up hand shielding her eyes::  You don't have to enter the barracks but be prepared to when myself or the Captain gives the word.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::squinting, trying to make out what the thing is, but it's too far away even for Vulcan eyes::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks into the sky, his hand on his forehead to shield his sight from some of the bright light::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As the crew looks up in the air, the animal dives with incredible speed.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Turns to the Captain:: CO: Can you see what it is?
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
Security Team: NOW!
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Sokov: Anything else?  Are they within earshot?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Hears the executive officer and doesn't bother to look back, making his way back toward the barracks::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::feels extremely uneasy for no apparent reason::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
<"The Twelve" Security Team> ::All twelve security members rush at the senior crew and anyone one else in the courtyard, encouraging them to get to the ground rather forcefully::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Her eye automatically shifts to the greater distance.::  CO: It looks look like a bat of some sort, but I do not recognize it.
aTO_Krrn says:
::looks to where the captain an XO is looking::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::motions to everyone to hurry as a shadow bears down on them::
aTO_Krrn says:
::moves out of the way::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Before he can make it back inside the animal picks it s target...the MCPO...and literally gulps him down in one bite.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  MO:  I heard something, ma'am...but I could not identify the specific sound.  It was similar to a call made by a bird-of-prey or a similar avian creature.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Watches the officer get devoured::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::stares in disbelief as a crew member is whisked away::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
Children: I want you all to head toward the barracks daddy and I just came from :: glances over toward it.::  Near the counselor.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
All: Holy Mother of...Pearl!
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
<"The Twelve" Security> ::The Twelve Security Officers start shoving everyone in the courtyard to nearby barracks::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Gasps and then seeing the children frozen, moves to pick up one of them, turning back to the barracks.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The creature zooms back up into the air, but as it reaches the tops of the barracks, it is engulfed in greenish blue light and disappears.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CO: I would say getting back inside the buildings would be a wise choice at this point instead of waiting to be picked off one by one.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Grabbing the youngest two, hurries back toward the barracks, saying nothing.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::hisses in disbelief:: Self: No!
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Dives back into the barrack and finds a nice quiet bunk to hide under.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::pauses as the words come out of her mouth.::  Self: What...
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::moves back into the barracks::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Inside the barracks, puts one of the twins down, looking up to see the doctor arriving with the rest of her brood.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Yells to no one in particular: Cowards!  You're cowards!  Come out and face us!!
Dr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Thank you, Lieutenant.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Motions again to recommunicate the command to remain inside the barracks::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
CTO: Lieutenant, inside!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: nods, still in a bit of shock as it had happened so quickly and so unexpectedly.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Starts moving as quickly as he can with his cane to a nearby barrack::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns around as he enters the barracks, mostly unaware of what has happened::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::stomps a foot on the courtyard dirt:: XO: Damn it. Who was that? Schluesselbenutzer?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::furious::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  MO:  ...It appears I was correct. ::Turns around, unnaturally calmly::  One of the crewmen was attacked and eaten whole by a large avian creature.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.  I believe it was.  I recommend sir we regroup and join the others inside
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Tries to imagine he is safe, but deep down knows there is no such thing as safe.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::slowly, almost casually, walks back towards the barracks::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::doesn't move:: XO: I don't think he's dead.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Settles the children on a bunk, working on calming them.::
aTO_Krrn says:
:;walks back over to the replicator:; Computer:: Type 2 phaser
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Exits back out the door, staying close to the building.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir whether he is at this point or not there is nothing we can do.   We've seen how they can change thing in a moment.  If it's true we have to believe we will find him along with the Orion crew before this is over.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: A greenish blue light shimmers about 3 meters from the CO and a tall humanoid dressed in dark purple robes emerges from it.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Sees the CO and XO aren't leaving. Sighs, turning back to retrieve them::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::whirls around and sees the humanoid.  Quickly makes his way back towards the CO::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::feels the presence and turns towards it, spotting the robed stranger::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Walks back to his spot several feet from the replicator, still totally oblivious to what's going on::  CEO:  What happened?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Blinks at the arrival of a stranger, staying perfectly still.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::grabs down for her phaser and realizes there is nothing there.::
SMDave is now known as Apparition.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: One of the crew has been killed by a large bird like creature
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Indicates her shock at Sokov's remark by nothing more than few extra blinks:: Sokov: All right...Get VanKampen and move a bunk near the door...Leave the door open about ten centimeters, and use the bunk to hold it there.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Trusts the CTO to take appropriate physical action as he is in better shape than he IF needed ... not before::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> :: Moves toward the bunk and looks under it.::  CNS: Why are you under the bed?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Somewhat shocked::  CEO:  Really...?  ::Turns and looks back to the door, though not at an angle suitable to peering outside::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steps up beside the CO and XO::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  They were...taken by it?
Host Apparition says:
::moves to the CO, arms intertwined in the sleeves of the robes then bows slightly::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Keeps his eyes shut.::  Outloud:  Because I believe this to be a safe spot to spend my time at this very moment.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: Yes. ::stands in the door and looks out::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::glares at the figure::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> CNS: But a warrior does not seek safety!  He is there to protect.  :: Points to his sisters and mother::  Like them.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::makes no move to return the courtesy, fairly certain he'll be understood:: Apparition: Who are you?
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Remains a few feet behind the CO, XO ... and the CTO who joins them::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov, van Kampen>  ::Start dragging a bunk over in front of the doorway, as instructed::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Keiran:  I am no warrior and have never attempted to pretend to be one.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> CNS: But... :: frowns::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::stands alongside the CO and waits for a reply making no movement.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns toward the door, leaning against the wall again...::  CEO:  I guess there's not much we could do about it.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Stands in the proper position to see out the ajar door, watching the meeting now taking place within the field::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::repeats the question::  Apparition: Who are you? Why have you brought us here? What have you done with my crewman?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Keiran:  Now now, child, there is little time for buts around here.  If you are smart you will stay here with me in the safety of this bunk.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: Not...yet. I suspect these people could kill al of us at once if that is what they desired
Host Apparition says:
CO: I am the ::pauses as though searching for a word::  caretaker of this place.  I have come to ::pauses again::  apologize for the loss of your companion.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::clenches his fists::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> :: Looks with disgust at the man.::  CNS: You are supposed to help people, like my mother.  How can you help someone if they do not respect you.  :: said with all the indignation of a child.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Can sense the intelligence she detected before but more so coming from the being in front of them.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  It seems if that's what they really wanted, they might've been able to do it before now.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::jaw clenches at the word 'loss':: Apparition: He's dead?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: Exactly
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Thinks... caretaker, caretaker... caretaker of what exactly?  Them?::
Host Apparition says:
CO: Indeed.  An unfortunate event to be certain.  ::shows no emotion on an nearly featureless face::  Occasionally, inhabitants from other sections find their way into forbidden sections.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  It's possible whomever has us here intends any harm to come to us...perhaps the animal attack was an accident.  ::Folds his arms::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Phases out a moment, as she did earlier, then refocuses on the present:: Sokov: Take command here. I'm going out to join the Captain, barring any orders otherwise.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: blurts out::  Other sections?  :: And stops.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Opens his eyes and smiles.::  Keiran:  You can look at me as you will child.  I am who I am.  I am here to help as needed,  but to stay and be food for a beast is not my idea of a hero.  ::Turns to look out the door.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Shakes her head.  This is not getting any better.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: I think we're animals in a zoo. And another animal just killed one of ours
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::debates throttling the lack of smile off the featureless face but keeps his anger in check:: Apparition: I demand you release us immediately and return us to our ship. You have *no* right to imprison us.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> CNS: It's gone.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::straightens up, trying to make himself look as big and threatening as possible::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: The girls calmed as well as her babies, she stands and takes them over to the counselor::  CNS: If you would please... keep them here with you.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  ::Having finished moving the bunk into place, is also observing the proceedings outside::  MO:  I must object, ma'am.  Having observed the attack myself, the outdoors do not seem the safest place, presently.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> Mom, I would be better then him!
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Keiran:  Yes and it can come back as fast as it left child.  ::Stops::  Doctor:  I am no baby sitter.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Sokov: Safety of our crew is our prime concern. However, we need to report to the captain for further orders.  One person leaving is an acceptable risk.
Host Apparition says:
CO: You are not in a position to demand any thing.  You, your crew, and others like you are now a part of the greatest collection the 12 universes have ever witnessed.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Sokov: And besides: I taste bad.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Blurts out:  Collection?!
Dr_Ahkileez says:
Keiran: In a crisis, you will find some people are not quite what you thought of them.  :: Leans down and kisses his forehead before turning away toward the door.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Doctor:  The child is right.  She is better on her own then with me.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> :: glares down at the Ferengi::  CNS: And we are no babies.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  ::Blinks a few times::  MO:  Ma'am...I do not find that to be a logical argument.  Birds of many species often do not possess taste buds.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Listening to the caretaker.::  Apparition:  If I may how many other species do you have here exactly in your collection?
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni & Kendi> :: both of them nod in unison.::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Ki and expands on his outburst:: Apparition: We are part of no collection. We are citizens of the Federation. Officers and enlisted members of the United Federation of Planets Starfleet. I say again, release us.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Rolls his eyes and crawl out from under the bunk.::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::glances over at the CIV, fury burning in his eyes::
aTO_Krrn says:
::stands next to the XO::
Host Apparition says:
::turns slightly to the XO::  exactly 12 million sixty three different species and 45 million subspecies.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Thinks, given what the caretaker just said, the captain is not going to get anywhere with him.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Sits on the edge of the bed.::  Children:  Come children we will sit here and wait for some fuzzy fairy to come rescue us.  ::Rolls his eyes again at the Doctor.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Mentally celebrates the instant of momentarily taking a Vulcan off-guard, but shows no sign of it:: Sokov: Perhaps this argument will be more logical: I am the commanding officer, and this is the decision I've made, and I have absolute faith that you will excellently fulfill your responsibilities in my absence.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Walks over and stands beside Hayward, watching, but not hearing particularly well::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Kendi> CNS: Fairies are not fuzzy!
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
::Lips purse. This isn't the first time he's heard of such things ... reports from another SF vessel indicated encounters with beings / vessels that would collect species, people, etc. to "record" history::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  MO:  Understood, ma'am.  ::Stands aside::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni> :: Nods her head in agreement with her twin.::
Host Apparition says:
CO: Your designations and demands hold no power here.  I must go now.  However, if it pleases you, in reparation for your loss you and your crew shall be allowed to see your ship one more time.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Apparition:  What exactly do you intend to do with this rather large collection?  Is it your purpose to study all of them and then what?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: One of the aliens has revealed themselves
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Doctor:  I told you they would be safer by them selves.  ::Looks the children over.::  Doctor:  They are scrawny little things aren't they?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Wonders how that is reparation::  XO: Commander, him if we can take stuff off our ship?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Somewhat indifferently::  CEO:  I see.  The Captain is in negotiations, I take it?
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CMO: Looks like it
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Nods:: Sokov: Excellent.  Take care.  ::Pauses just a moment, then makes her way, slipping through the opening in the door and making her way swiftly across the field, in the direction of the apparition and the captain::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Watching by the door, barely hears what is going on behind her.::
Host Apparition says:
XO: You are merely a collection.  Once this vessel's capacity is fulfilled, it will return to the first universe to display all it holds.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notices a medical officer heading this way and wishes heartily that these people would stay under cover like they're supposed to::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Looks and nods to the CSO::  Apparition:  Will we be allowed to remove some of our stuff and equipment we might need from our ship?
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Sorran> :: Imitating his brother, crosses his arms.::  CNS: I not scrawny.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Tries not to look at them.::  Children:  Okay just find a bunk and sit under it.  You should all be safe there.  I guess.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::struggling to keep himself in check, glad T'Shara has the presence of mind to cover those important questions::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Juleah> :: Walks very slowly over to the counselor and tries to climb onto his lap.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  Hm.  Something tells me a request to leave won't be duly processed.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> CNS: I am no coward... I will protect my sisters.
Host Apparition says:
XO: You may recover replicas of such equipment if you desire.  Working equipment is not possible at this time.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
::looks at the chief medical officer with a bizarre smile on his face:: CMO: I think we're screwed
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Sorran> :: Nods his head in agreement.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Smiles dryly, at that::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Keiran:  Umm great.  Just sit down and do something quiet.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
Apparition:  What of our personal belongings other than equipment?  We have children here among the crew that have things they need from the ship
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
:;takes a step toward the Apparition:: Apparition: I accept your... payment. Allow my crew to take what they want. But I want you to know, we're going to get out of this zoo of yours.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> :: Looks suspiciously at the Ferengi::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The apparition of the caretaker disappears in the same greenish blue light
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Quietly approaches the Captain and XO, taking up position behind them, trying to catch up on the process of the conversation, as a listener waiting for it to end::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
Lovely...
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<Sokov>  ::Watches, emotionlessly yet keenly, as Raeyld takes the field...eyes scanning the sky now and then::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Steps away from the building.::  XO: I wonder what he meant not possible at this time.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::lets lose a string of expletives::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:looks out of the door, and hesitantly steps out, moving to where the captain is. Keeping an eye on the sky::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::takes a deep breath and calms himself before turning back around:: XO/CTO: Finish that headcount. I want everyone accounted for and in the same place. If they intend to keep us here, we can see about accommodations later. But for now, I want everyone together.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::Turns to the CSO::  CSO: Good question Lieutenant I'm not sure.  How are we to know what we can or can't take for that matter by the way it sounds.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::glances at the hobbling man:: CIV: Selan, make yourself useful and head up the team putting together the weapons.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::growls:: CO:  Aye.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: As much medical equipment as possible I think.  I would not mind some scientific tools.
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CO: Aye sir.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Scratches his right ear a bit as Ki's tirade reaches him...walks back to his leaning-against-the-wall spot::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Trying not to pay attention to the children.::  Doctor:  Doctor?  How do you turn them off?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Agreed see what you can get Lieutenant make sure you have what you need.
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
CO: Certainly, Jyg'Lo, try not to punch any ghosts and get yourself eaten by dragons ... ::Heads off to gather weapons::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Steps out the door and over to Jyg.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Jerni> :: gasps:: CNS: You cannot turn us off!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO: Ummm... did you catch at how we are to get there¿
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::glares after Selan and then moves back to the main group:: All: It looks like we might be here awhile. We're making sure everyone is here and alright before we take the next step. Please get together with your department and section heads so we can complete the headcount.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Doctor:  Doctor!  Don't you dare leave!  ::Watches as she leaves the barracks then looks down at Jerni then Juleah.::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: No I did not.  Although, I am sure the way they have transported us around so quickly we will soon find out.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Juleah> :: Holds her arms up to be picked up.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Kendi> CNS: For some reason she wants you to pick her up. ::disgusted::  She only does that to people she likes.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks down at Juleah.::  Child:  No don't even think about it child.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Sidles along the wall, up to the door, and takes another look outside, unable to remain in one place essentially on standby::
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
CSO: Have all your people join you and give me a headcount when they are all together.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods::  XO: I will get a hand count of my staff and then... I guess wait for the venture.  If all of us get to go, that will be to the better in collecting things.  If only a few of us go, we will be extremely limited in what we can bring back.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::gathering people up and herding them towards the primary barrack::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The entirety of the Halas crew is swept away, some in mid-sentence, by the now familiar greenish blue light and deposited on various decks of a Federation Starship...only it is not the Halas at all.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Kendi:  Well she is mistaken.  ::Picks up Juleah by the back of her clothes.::  Outloud:  I don't think I could even get 2 bars of latinum for her.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Briefly touches his arm.::  CO: It is not going to be easy to get all of us out of here.  A few maybe... but... :: leaves the rest of the sentence unspoken.::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
Self: What now?!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Blinks:: XO: Darn....
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks around trying to orient himself::
CIV_LtCmdr_Selan says:
Self: Erk!
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Blinks slightly as she tries to reorient her vision to her new surroundings::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::blinks at the change in light and looks around, trying to orient himself::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Blinks a few times, waiting for the colors to get back to themselves::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: There are no lights on this ship.  the decks are strewn with debris an damaged components.
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::turns around once in a circle:: Self/All: This isn't Halas...
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Kendi> CNS: Put her down... give her to us.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CO: No...it isn't....::looks around::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The bridge crew is deposited on the bridge of this vessel and even through all the debris an upended consoles it is very familiar.  Those with keen eyes on the bridge will notice occasional smudges of pink paint on the bulkheads.
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Keiran> :: Looking around the strange ship.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Stops still holding the child level with his face.::  Children:  Shhhh stay close.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Walks to a bulkhead, leaning a hand against it::  Self:  Hm.
aTO_Krrn says:
Aloud:: Pink? where did that come from
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Children> :: Hearing the command in the counselors voice, follows his orders.::
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
:: winces at the light and waits for his eyes to adjust as he finds himself on an unfamiliar ship of Federation design :: All: Alright, now where are we?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::looks over at the bulkhead and notices the familiar color peering through.::  CO: Sir take a look at this
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain...I'm not sure, but I think this is the Claymore....
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::moves over to her side::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks around the familiar room and her staff.::  Science: I do not know how much time we have.  Get only the essentials you need and as much science gadgetry as you can with the other hand.  There is no telling what we can use later.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
Aloud:  Anyone else here?  ::Steps over a tipped cart and into the ward::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Looks around a bit.::  Children:  Follow me hold and hold hands.  ::Reaches down and opens one of the emergency panels and gets out a wrist light.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: With those words, dashes out the door to what had once been her brothers quarters.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Steps forward in the darkness until she's brushed against a biobed. Hears Welland's voice:: CMO: Here...
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Children> :: Well trained, take each others hands and stays close.::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Turns on the wrist light. and shines it around the office.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: I am here.
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Self:  Claymore?
XO_Cmdr_TShara says:
::opens an emergency panel and gets a write light out and puts it on shining it around the bridge.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Sighs a bit::  MO/Dr_Ahkileez:  Hello, doctors.  ::Pulls his lab coat more closely around himself::
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
:;looks around the battered bridge:: All: What the hell happened to this ship?
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
::Hears some voices close by.::  MO/CMO:  Doctors?  ::Shines the light around sickbay.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: At the captain's quarters, begins to make her way in.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
:: Sensing her children, relaxes.::  CNS: Thank you...
FCO_LtJG_Thursson says:
:: notices some people calling the ship the Claymore, and assumes that's where he is... despite everyone ignoring his question :: Aloud: So this is the Claymore, eh? :: looks around :: it's seen better days...
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::finally recognizes the Akira class bridge module.  Rushes to the weapons locker::
CNS_Lt_Renor says:
Doctor:  Yes I think they are all here.  I hope.  ::Shines the light around some more before giving the doctor one.::  Doctor:  I found a few working wrist lights.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Entering, looks around, and then makes her way to the dresser in the bedroom.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Children> :: Makes their way to their mother.::
Dr_Ahkileez says:
<Juleah> :: Kisses the counselors cheek:: CNS: Down
Host CO_Captain_Ahkileez says:
::rests a hand on Atlas' chair:: Self: This is where it happened...
