Patrolling the Frontier - Mission 20 - 11001.26
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  The away team escorting Prime Minister Welland has encountered a group of Lothian soldiers as well as thermal pipes blocking most of their forward path.  After a brief encounter with an EMP device, which rendered all of their electronics inoperative.  T'Shara, Hull and Kizlev have entered an active Lothian missile silo and are now face to face with a Lothian guard in one of the silos control rooms.

CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Having heard the fire of weapons in the distant, pulling her out of her concentrated state, reminding her where she was and why, she had run as quickly as she could down the tunnel toward her team.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:

Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Points her phaser at him::  Lothian Guard: I believe that would be unwise.
Cptn_Lembra says:
@ ::Cries out in a fierce growl as she reaches around and grabs him by the bloodied wrist, yanking it around behind his back fiercely::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Squints into the darkness::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: It did not take the heat long to make her feel drained as her light catches on her companions.  She pauses to take a few deep breaths.::
Host SMDrew says:
#<Lothian Guard>::Raises his phaser and quickly pulls off a shot as T'Shara speaks.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::in Ferengi:: MO: Did you get a good look at where Welland is?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#::bursts into the control room with Hull and T'Shara, hears the latter issue a warning to one guard, sees one try to make a shot, and returns fire with stun setting::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
OPS/MO:  What happened?  Where is Marcus?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::low crawls forward, then pauses for a moment, waiting to see if more fire will come or if anything else will happen::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CTO:  What took you so long Commander?  
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Calls out into the darkness...in Lothian::  Aloud:  I'll ask one final time for you to identify yourselves.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::doesn't even attempt to fight Lembra, letting her close however far she'd need to in order to secure his arm, then brings his other up in a fist to attempt slamming it into her nose, twice::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CTO: Good to see you though
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION: The shot passes Commander Kizlev and hits T'Shara in her arm.  A second later he falls to the floor stunned from Kizlev’s phaser.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Instinctively reaches her other hand toward the origin of Senn's voice...having a weakness of really terrible night vision:: CSO: We're here...Doctor Welland seems to be in--er...that direction.  ::Gestures vaguely toward the source she last remembered hearing his voice::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Hearing Welland, she shines her light  in the direction the MO is pointing.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::Continues in ferengi and motions at the CSO's light:: CSO: Kill the light you'll make us a target.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Spins around before she can react and falls to the floor from the blast, knocking the phaser from her hand::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Captain!  ::observes the shot as it strikes the Captain's arm::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Frowning, she dials it down to minimal, adding a red lens and crouches down with them.::  MO/OPS are you alright?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Peers under the pipes and sees a number of feet, which are still for a moment::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scans left to right, seeing a small opening to his right; he very carefully adjusts his position away from the feet of the Lothian::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#::briefly assesses the captain's wound, and then turns and shoots the downed guard one more time out of retaliation, just to make sure the bastard stays down for at least a few hours::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::Gives the CSO a look that really can't be understood in the low lighting, than says in his native tongue:: CSO: No injuries... CSO/MO: What if Welland said that he was the last survivor of the prime minister's cabinet? Those could be loyal guards...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
      :: As they appear to be alright, she simply nods and keeping low, makes her way to Welland::
Host SMDrew says:
@<General_Casin> ::Unlocks the door and enters.::  Lembra:  Good work Captain.  We have enough information from the probe.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#::scans the Captain's wound with his tricorder::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Listens quietly for any response, or anything he might be able to overhear...tilts on his side slightly as he hears someone approaching, and looks over his shoulder, sighing with relief as he hears Senn::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Bites down against the bleeding of her nose, and secures Williams' second arm behind him as well, holding him tightly and closely, as she stands to attention before the General:: Casin: Sir!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::takes his phaser from its holster, having to twist his back to do it, but finally ends up holding it in his right hand::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CEO: What is her condition, commander? ::starts to examine the control interfaces in the room::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looking slightly embarrassed, she joins Marcus::  CMO:  I am sorry... I... did not see you leave or hear either for that matter.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#::Rips his sleeve, tearing a piece for what would be a bandage for the time being for the Captain, until proper attention can be made::  CO:  Captain, just a burn, no immediate danger, but a Doctor should tend to that before an infection sets in.  
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
OPS: ...Perhaps.  What if they're not?
Host SMDrew says:
@<General_Casin> ::Looks at Williams and smiles.::  CAG:  Thank you for your help in this matter.  I am impressed with the amount of useful information you so willingly gave us.  We now have fighters on their way to your vessel.  We have eliminated your Captain and her companions.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Glances to her wrist beacon, which seems to be working::  CSO:  I think, in hindsight, it was probably rather fortuitous that you were separated from the group.  They rolled some kind of EMP device in, and none of our gear is working.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
# CTO:  The Captain is alright, she is paralyzed in that arm for some hours to come, shock I suppose.  
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::whips the phaser out from beneath the pipes, throwing it hard enough to make it pass the group of Lothian’s::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Slowly sits up::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  Ahhh... :: glances over him::  But you are safe.  :: Looks around::  Where is the first officer?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CEO: I'm going to figure out how to sabotage this warhead and disable security in the facility. See if there's anything like a first aid kit we could use.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Hears the clatter...blinks a moment, and instinctively starts to slither forward under the pipes on his belly::  CSO:  Follow me?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
MO: Than they shoot.  Maybe I go out and give them a target while Welland talks.
Host SMDrew says:
@<General_Casin>  CAG:  We have gunships heading to your marines and we know your people are trying to take a new prime minister through the old tunnels to the capital.
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Holds Williams arms more tightly together, lifting up uncomfortably to bend his elbows entirely the wrong way::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CTO:  Captain will need assistance to walk, see a proper Doctor, should be no permanent damage,....
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The guards turn quickly to look at the phaser passing by them.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::allows himself to be held, not that he's given a whole lot of choice... he simply hangs around, a little closer to spent now than anything else, and still leaking blood from open and no longer blocked wounds::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Takes a deep breath to say something only to pause and simply nod her head::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::quickly crawls out from beneath the pipes. Kicking at the outside of the nearest guard's knees as hard as he can, then literally throwing his tricorder at the face of another::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Keeping her voice to a level only he should hear::  CMO:  Fong thinks you might be dealing with loyal guards.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Makes good time, approaching Davis' heels as the first officer quickly gets to his feet beyond the pipes::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Thank you Commander.  ::Carefully begins to stand::  Once we meet up with the others Raeyld or one of the other medical staff can take a look at it for now this will have to do.
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Gestures with a sharp pulls of her head to the two guards who've waited quietly nearby as she took her pounding, indicating they should come and better secure Williams themselves::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::hears a clatter and frowns...:: Raeyld: Or we could go with the commander's plan.  ::Starts moving forward towards the pipes low and quick::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Quietly::  CSO:  I've no way of knowing, unless I get a good look at them....  ::Nods his head forward a few times::  Ready?
Host SMDrew says:
@<General_Casin> CAG:  So there is little reason we need you at this point.  ::Turns to Lembra.::  Lembra:  Keep his equipment and escort him out of the capital so he may return to his friend.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Her weapon in hand, she stands, joining him and simply nods her head::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO/CEO: Before you attempt to sabotage the missile I would like Commander Hull to see what information he can attain about it.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CTO:  I've been thinking about this warhead, apart from using a phaser to vaporize the outer housing, if we damage the ignition source, the missile will not be able to fly...what do you think?
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::As she guard roughly take custody of Williams, taking a moment to wipe a spout of blood away from her mouth, and picking up her own rifle again::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The two guards fall quickly stunned by Davis's quick attack.  The other two guards use their rifle butts on Davis first hitting him in the chest then a sharp blow to the forehead.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shrugs slightly, really glad not to be in charge of this little endeavor anymore, and follows along behind Fong and Senn::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::slumps to the deck as quickly as he crawled out from the pipes to begin with::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::shifts ever so slightly, and draws in a ragged breath, holding it for a few seconds before attempting one sharp sort of fake kick, the aim being to take the platform off balance and, with luck, in the direction of the 3 Lothians::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CEO: That may only be a temporary solution. I was just thinking about finding a way to make it self-destruct, taking this whole place with it preferably.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Aye Captain, I've already made a complete survey of the missile and control room.  
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sees Davis slump to the ground, and quickly scrambles to his feet, swinging his backpack around hard at the head of one of the guards::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Not far behind Marcus, she aims and fires at the other guard::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::not unconscious, but definitely seeing little birdies::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Moves ahead behind Fong and Senn, her phaser rifle still in hand, reaching up onto her tip-toes to see over Senn's shoulder clearly at whatever she seems to be firing at::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::stays low trying to find the pipes with his hands he discovers them instead with his forehead::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Walks over to where Kizlev is and takes a look at the control panels.::  CTO: With enough time for us to get clear I hope.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The platform wobbles a bit.  As the guards laugh at Williams attempt.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stirs a little, more to free up his hand to hold his aching head than anything else::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@General: Now, Sir?   ::Spoke with only the slightest tinge of anticipation. She always gets her job done...But this time he was unusually impudent::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Very good Commander.  I should have known without asking you would have already taken care of that.  Always one step ahead Mr. Hull.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods:: #CO: You're right captain, a little intelligence gathered first  will go a long way to dealing with these weapons in the future. I should be the one to search for a first aid kit if one is nearby. Hull is more qualified than I to handle these controls.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO/CTO:  The warhead I had figured on being Nuclear, perhaps even a conventional load, but...I'm showing matter/anti-matter, but there is something wrong, it seems the mix is off.  Won't cause much of a bang if it did go off!
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO/CTO:  Not much of any reaction at all, from what the Tricorder can figure...I agree
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::gets lower and tries crawling under the pipes slower wondering if the ringing is coming from his head or the pipes::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the Lothian guards raise their rifles for another round of hit to Davis a solid orange beam passes over Davis and hits the first guard.  He falls back against the wall.  Quickly the other turns to draw his rifle as Welland hits him.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Swings the pack backhanded, clobbering him again on the return pass::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Reaches down to pickup her phaser and reholster it with her good arm, slowly standing back up the pain in her arm throbbing a bit.  She tries to concentrate and channel out the pain::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::manages to get to his feet with some effort, but his equilibrium is not completely with it, and he runs around in a tight circle before hitting the pipes and falling over again::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Knocked off guard by the backpack attack he drops his rifle and quickly grabs onto Welland's waist.  He throws them both off balance and to the ground.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::discovers a foot that belongs to someone standing upright, and is not in a Starfleet issue boot on the ground in front of him.  He grabs it and pulls.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quickly thumbs her phaser to a light stun and aims at the second guard and fires::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::As she sees what's happening to Command Davis, she quickly throws herself to the ground and practically slithers under the pipes with fairly easy clearance, her pack slowing her down slightly::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
;:Drops the backpack and grapples with the man, bringing his knee up sharply toward his gut after they thud hard to the ground::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As quickly as Welland and the guard falls the guard is pulled off by a hand from under the pipes.  Shortly after another phaser blast knock the last of the Lothian guards out.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::attempts another, slightly harder kick, this one aimed to try and break loose at least one foot... if he successful, he launches one or both of them at his newest attackers; more specifically their noses, faces, heads, throats, wherever he can reach if anywhere to do some kind of damage::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO: Commander you misunderstood you are both more than capable of handling these controls.  You are the most capable of the three of us to hack into and take control of the security system.
Cptn_Lembra says:
@Guards: Move out!
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::notices something moving past him quickly and flails at it hitting his head on the pipe again as he tries to back up away from it.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Kneels down::  CMO:  Marcus?  Are you alright?  :: rolls the guard away::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: If the missile is not used as a weapon then what are they using it for?  ::Raises an eyebrow, holding onto the console with her left arm::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::holding his head, just as before; the difference is that now the rest of his body hurts, too::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Just as Williams lunges for his attack more guards file in grabbing him by the arms and escorting him out of the room.  More guards wait outside with their weapons drawn.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#::starts to work on the security protocols, but struggling to make heads or tails of the Lothian language, so resorts to his tricorder for help::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Rolls to his back::  CSO:  I'm fine...  ::Rolls further, then slowly gets back to his knees, looking over at Davis::  Gonna have to take a look at the commander, though.  Your tricorder work?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Coughs and gaggles a little a moment, as she swept at by the Ferengi's hands:: ::In a loud, hushed whisper:: OPS: Lieutenant!   ::Pauses half a moment, then quickly moves the rest the way beneath the pipes::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Frowns with relief::  CMO:  This is not exactly what I call keeping you safe.  :: Turns to look over at the XO::  Yes.  :: reaches into her pack and hands it to him.::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Nods to the General, then immediately marches her way out the door, waiting at the side for the contingency of guards to "escort" Williams out in front of her::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes it out and scans Davis once::  XO:  Hang on just a second, Commander... ::Gets his backpack, unzips the main pocket, and pulls a vial of painkiller out, dialing a small dose and applying it to Davis' shoulder::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Stands and moves closer to Davis::  XO:  I only lightly stunned the second guard.  Thought you might like to question him.  The other one should be out for awhile.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::wonders why there are seven Senn's standing in front of him, asking questions, and he realizes too that is eight too many::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pulls out from the pipes considerably mustied from the dirt of the flooring, and kneels down near Davis...although not too near, since Welland is already there::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::keeps his eyes open, scanning as much of his surroundings as he can... once he's cut loose, he'll need it... idly, he takes count of number and position, visible equipment, and the likelihood of the full complement following him out... and decides he'd have to take this time to recoop some strength first anyway::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  That should help the pain, and this... ::Reloads his hypo, this time with Losorin:: ...should aid with any disorientation that you are probably experiencing.  ::Injects him again::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Moves to secure the second guard.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Fights back her impulse to tend immediately to Davis herself, since it's fairly basic etiquette to let the first attending physician actually attend, and instead turns back toward Fong, to ensure he's making it through the pipes all right::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::as suddenly as he felt horrible courtesy of the original phaser hammering he took, he starts to feel better; within moments, he's a little groggy, but not completely disoriented::  CMO: Thank you..::rubs head::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Are you able to determine just what they are using the missiles for?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::isn't exactly sure why but the odd noise that the creature made was familiar.  It clicks after a minute or two as Betazoid.::
Host SMDrew says:
@<General_Casin> ::Follows the guards out.::  Lembra:  Release him once he is beyond the shielding.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#::grins wickedly:: Self: Poor, very poor. CO/CEO: I haven't seen such incompetence in military security in a long time. I have access to their major surveillance and communication systems from here. I'm shutting down base security and securing this room now.
Cptn_Lembra says:
@General: Aye Sir.   ::Nods once, as the guards continue ahead, then falls in line behind them, almost as if she were "driving" the movement::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks from the CMO to XO::  Do you want me to wake him?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Captain, with the warhead in such a state, I'm not sure it could be used for anything.  The warhead is pretty much a dud!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CSO: Who?  ::shifts his gaze from Senn to the areas next to her, where the four Lothians are apparently incapacitated or dead::  Oh, yes. ::nods::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CSO:  I do, in fact.  ::Then nods to Davis::  But that's up to the commander.  ::Hands Senn's hypospray back to her, tucking his vials away in his pack::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reaches out vaguely toward Fong, speaking once more in Federation Standard:: OPS: Joining us, Ensign?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Taking the hypospray back, she adjusts it and applies the medication to the guard’s neck::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#::activates a primary network function which turns on a bank of monitors above the control consoles that light up, showing numerous video feeds and Lothian troop movements::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::still under the pipes he looks at the hand and mumbles something incoherent, in ferengi about liking it where he was than crawls slowly out from under the pipes rubbing his head::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Interesting.  So whether we destroy it or leave it it will have no impact at this point.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: As he starts to stir, she stands and steps away, keeping her weapon trained on the guard.::
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION:  From the monitors the teams get a first look at the destroyed monastery.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Tilts her head, watching Fong emerge, keeping her gaze outwardly casual, while instinctively and surreptitiously evaluating the extent of any injuries he may have suffered from the tubing::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  That is correct Captain, plus the prime directive doesn't hurt as well, I mean if that is a concern, the missile seems operational, it will go up, but no one will be worse off than they are right now if it did
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Marches along with the soldiers, watching as they load Williams once more up into the truck, taking her seat beside them, and thumps the wall between back and front, setting the truck into motion::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::continues to regain much of his composure, and strength, but for the moment doesn't make a move at resisting further... that time will come::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gets up to his feet, feeling infinitely better than he did moments ago, waiting for the guard to stir, and actually considering kicking him right in the face in retaliation::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::brushes his hands off on his pants infact having the opposite of the desired effect by removing dirt from his pants and placing it on his hands:: Self: Well...than.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  As quickly as they are loaded the truck departs.  Once again taking the elevator to the top and the short ride out of the city.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Looks up at the monitors::  CEO: At this point I am not to concerned with the prime directive.  I am more concerned with finding our teams and stopping this war.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Gathers up his pack, handing Senn's tricorder back, as well::  CSO:  Thanks.  ::Dusts himself off a bit, then puts his backpack back on::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CEO: Can you force the matter and antimatter to make uncontained contact from here? ::gazes up to see the monitors, and notices the one with the ruined monastery::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::continues to observe his surroundings, watching things they pass by, markers to make reference of, and signs to indicate city limits... also, looks a little closer for moving things appearing humanoid::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Keeping he weapon trained, she takes the tricorder and tucks it back into her pack::  CMO:  Ummm... I don't suppose you recognize him as one of yours?  I mean the Prime Minister?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Tilts his head and stares at the guard a moment, appraisingly::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Notices the monastery::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
OPS: Are you...all right?  ::The Federation Standard falls from her lips ever-so-slightly-detectably less fluidly than her own language, even if it had been suffering the usual effects of the Universal Translator. After all, there's fluent in a language, and then there's native...and the latter, she definitely is not::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Captain, there isn't much there to do anything with, just enough to register as what it is
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Sighs as the guard seems to take forever to come around, talking to no one in particular::  Geesh... and I used a light stun to begin with.
Host SMDrew says:
<Lothian Guard>:: Stirs a bit then looks up at the people around him.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::kneels near one of the unconscious guards and says in broken fed-standard:: MO: I am be the fine. ::thinks about the statement and mutters in ferengi:: Self: No...not right...freking humon language....::hits the guard on the top of his head with his wrist light::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Speaks in Lothian::  Guard:  Hello.  You have been captured.  ::Smiles good-naturedly and delivers the traditional bow::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO: What were your thoughts Commander?  ::glances over at Hull:: CEO: I would have to agree for now I see no need to destroy the missile at this time.  There would be no benefit on either side.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::listens to Welland, although it doesn't do him much good; he decides to follow Welland's lead, which essentially means he will be providing the necessary beat down::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Smiles somewhat, but quickly frowns as he hits the guard:: OPS: Shaleeve!
Host SMDrew says:
<Lothian Guard>::Looks over at Welland shocked he is speaking Lothian.::  CMO:  You will never make it to the Capital.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::hisses quietly and says in Ferengi:: MO: He moved.
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::as they continue, he observes as best he can for another few minutes, but his eyes go cloudy after a moment, and quickly begins to again fade from consciousness, though the internal fight to do so isn't a one-way one::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Purses her lips:: <FS> OPS: I--mean...   ::Continues in Ferengi:: OPS: I know... Be careful but.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Lifts a brow, considering they were doing fairly well so far, but remains silent::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Please don't take me the wrong way Captain, it is a weapon of mass destruction, just as its current payload is a dud, someone could come along in the future and put a proper payload on the missile and then it would be someone's problem
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Steels her position as the truck comes to a stop, and gestures for the guards to offload Williams first, before she follows after::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Speaks in Lothian, still smiling, outwardly making pleasant chit-chat::  Guard:  You will never leave this passageway.  Are there others?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::checks the guard’s pockets for latinum, booze, a flashlight, and weapons...in that order.::
Host SMDrew says:
<Lothian Guard>  CMO:  More then enough to stop you.  We will destroy those on this planet then reclaim it under the new Lothian government.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quietly, under her breath::  CMO:  Hmmm... not a loyal guard.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Quietly, this time in Standard::  CSO:  Quite.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Footsteps can be heard coming down the corridor.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks back to the guard, returning to Lothian verbage, though still altogether amiable::  Guard:  My associate here is going to kill you now.  Rest in peace.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::In standard::  CSO:  Heavy stun.  ::Nods::  We have to get moving.
Host SMDrew says:
#ACTION:  The silo doors begin to open.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::grabs the flashlight and flips it towards the MO in standard:: MO: Heads that be up... Self: no no no....
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::is, outwardly at least, nearly completely unconscious... at least he's not moving, and perhaps barely breathing, anyway::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues close by Fong, partly providing him cover as he searches, and partly....not quite ready to move back over by Welland, Davis, and Senn. Has kind of the feeling that she shouldn't be near there::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::kicks the guard in the face without hesitation::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Flicking the switch without question, she aims and fires.::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CEO: Looks like you just summoned the future, commander. ::nods to the opening doors::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#::Looks up to the doors of the silo, the sun blaring down::  Himself:  Bogus Trot!!!
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Follows the guards out of the truck, then moves along behind them as they continue beyond the perimeter shielding::
Host SMDrew says:
<Lothian Guard> CMO:  So be...  ::Falls over grabbing his face from the kick.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::watches the flashlight fall to the floor, than sighs and hands the MO the guard's rifle, than moves to the next guard::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks back to Welland matter-of-factly::  CMO: Well?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks at Davis a bit grimly as she turns toward the sound of footsteps, ready to again fire::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
Self:  Hm.  ::Almost shrugs, then immediately catches himself::  Aloud:  That works.  Anyway, he said there are more in the passageway, and that we'll never make it to the council chambers.  He's from Lothian Minor;  they plan to torch the planet and reclaim it to form a new government.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Nods::  CEO: Aye, Mr. Hull that is most logical.  With that in mind how do you suggest we go about.... ::before she can finish the doors begin to open as she looks up::  CTO: Report
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
All:  I intend to see that does not happen.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The Lothian guard is hit with the phaser blast and slumps the rest of the way to the floor.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Catches the flashlight lightly, and accepts the phaser rifle...:: ::In Ferengi:: OPS: A good Securement Officer you are.   ::Hefts the rifle a moment::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: So what's our next move?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO/CMO:  I hate to end this little chat, but we have company coming.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  If the Claymore was nearby, she could track the missile after it stages into orbit, and phaser it out of existence
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CO: Could be the arrival of that payload we were just talking about. ::switches through the available camera feeds for any external view of the silo itself::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  I'm unsure.  To my knowledge, the passageway has little cover, and there are probably many soldiers.  There may be no alternate routes...I don't know that we can fight our way through without phasers.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::checks the next unconscious guard, again checking for latinum, booze, than weapons and flashlights, and also thinking to look for scanners and grenades::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Turning back could be just as bad...we have no idea whether or not the Marines were successful.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Slips her tricorder out of her pouch and keeping her weapon aimed, activates it to scan the area::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Glances across the landscape, then comes up short:: Guards: Halt!   Here.  ::Lowers her rifle::  Let him go.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
CMO: We've be have phasers.  Four. ::points at the guards.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Unfortunately we don't have that option.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
XO:  We most likely must move forward.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Standing quietly beside and behind Fong::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods gravely::  
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Turns around;  hadn't realized the ensign had been scavenging::  OPS:  Good work.  The four of you ought to take them.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::picks up the rifle from one of the guards::  CMO: hopefully this damn thing works.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CSO:  How far away is the new company?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the Awayteam once again starts to move six Lothian's turn the corner.  They raise their weapons.  Then speak something in Lothian which the UT doesn't fully understand.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::notices the very dead guard that they were interviewing:: CMO/XO: So...killing be approved, than?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO/CEO: Come on Commander we need visual now.  ::Continues to look at the doors and looking around::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO:  Commander, Six....
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Raises a hand to the team::  All:  Wait...  ::Takes a few steps forward::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns immediately and raises the Lothian weapon right back at them::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::steps in front of Welland::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Instinctively drops to her knees, new Lothian rifle held in position, although she hasn't the slightly idea how the settings work, but does not fire::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pauses in the act of firing::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@ ::Watches the guards hoist and drop Williams several yards ahead::
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Stoically::  Guards: Retreat.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::having taken the weapon from this most recent guard he moves around to use the man's body as a shield, his weapon pointed in the general direction that everyone else is pointing::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
All:  They're... ::Narrows his eyes a moment, then blinks in surprise::  ...they're surrendering.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CEO: Can you disable the missile from here to by us some time if indeed they are preparing to launch it.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Holds her breath a moment::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
All:  They're with the Lothian underground.  ::Moves out from behind Davis::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::weapon trained forward, almost positive he knows how to fire it::  CMO: You're sure?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
Self: Oh good, maybe they have some latinum
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Because god damn it I'll blow them straight to kingdom come.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: .....wherever that is..
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Not having understood what was said, she trusts Marcus and lowers her weapon slightly, but not down.::
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::is effectively dead wait at this point, being haphazardly tossed ground wards by the now retreating guards::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Addresses them in Lothian::  Soldiers:  We accept your surrender.  ::Walks forward and extends a hand::  I have been looking forward to meeting you.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
XO/CMO:  And our next move is....?
Cptn_Lembra says:
@::Once the guards are a safe distance from Williams, she speaks:: CAG:: Consider yourself released, Mr. Williams.  ::Pauses a moment::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Shouldn't be any tribble at all Captain ::Grins:: 
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
XO: He looks be pretty sure sir.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The guards lay down their weapons and touch Welland’s hand.  They immediately bow.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CMO:  Now yours?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::maintains weapon lock::  OPS/MO: Secure those weapons.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
#CO: We may have disrupted the installation of the payload by coming here, but it seems the missile is still set for launch regardless. This is, however, only one missile out of many scattered around the planet. There must be a way to access central control somehow, but I doubt it's possible from here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
OPS/MO: Just in case...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Turns and smiles::  CSO:  They're with us.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Under her breath::  Finally...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::In Lothian::  Aloud:  Prepare to move out!
Cptn_Lembra says:
@CAG: Do call again.   ::Lowers her weapon, and fires at whatever's left of Williams' back, before turning around and moving with the guard troop back into the truck::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::moves forward dropping his rifle onto its sling and says in ferengi:: MO: Cover me.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#::Looks at the CEO, missing the comment::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, replying in Ferengi:: OPS: I have you.   ::Holds her rifle carefully, not aggressively, but definitely available::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO: Can you stop the launch?  And is there a way to determine where the main controls are that handle all of the missiles?
CAG_FO_Williams says:
@::doesn't even twitch, or move, or... scream, or um, anything... he's definitely unconscious, if not very very dead::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
#CO:  Aye Captain, we can disconnect the umbilicals from the missile, the control room won't have a way to launch or power up the missile systems
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The weapon blast hits Williams in the back.  The massive energy blast burns through his back exposing muscle and charred bone.  The pain is immediate then Williams’s body becomes numb with shock.  His eyes blink a few moments before all goes black.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
#CTO: I have confidence in your capabilities that if anyone could access main controls you could Kizlev.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::moves up to the guards and takes their weapons one at a time stacking them on his arms::
Host SMDrew says:
