Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 30 - 11202.07
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  Green and orange flashes of energy exchange from one side of the dark array room to the other.  Outside the Jarrow Ensign Hawk and Commander Raeyld talk with Grand Minister Elect Natalio Ser Belaon.  The Xrevea in the caverns one by one transform back to their original selves.
Host SMDrew says:
******************* Resume Mission *********************
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::huddled behind a console his knees against his chest. He glances around at the flashes of illumination splashing against the walls and other consoles trying to find something.::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Through the dark room the Romulan disruptors open fire.  Sparks fly from consoles that are hit.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::holds his head down behind the nearest console as blasts strike the front; he pauses for a moment::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Crouching behind a crate doing his best to keep his head down, gripping a hand phaser.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::peers to the side of the console and fires three shots, not really aiming at anything in particular::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Outside the Jarrow, waiting for a signal from the doc on what she wants them to do next as the planets inhabitants start to move after their traumatic alteration from the drug.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Keeps her head down as a console nearby sparks, looks around the edge of the crate and fires::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Outside the Jarrow more Xreveans begin to come around.  They appear weak at first, but recover rapidly.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Looks up as the FCO motions her back to the shuttle::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::remembers where the beam down point was and makes a choice, crawling low towards the crates that were beamed down with the tactical officers::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Looking at Sky, she heads back to the Jarrow, taking care not to step on anyone.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Steps back toward Belaon, bowing slightly as she pauses a few feet from him:: Belaon: Grant Minister, I've received word from my Captain. They are currently under assault from the Romulans. She's ordered our team to make our way to the planet's surface, to meet reinforcements.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Listens as the FCO repeats the captain’s last message.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers> ::sees Fong crawling out into the open a little and runs at him, firing shots to cover himself as he crosses the cavern and dives on Fong::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Motions to Sky::  SO:  Looks like we have new orders.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> ::Nods to Raeyld as he stands.::  CMO:  How can my people and I help?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::She ducks back behind the crate and pauses as more phaser fire hits nearby.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Moves over to the CSO::  CSO:  What would those be?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::pops out low from the console and begins advancing forward again via crawl::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Without really looking fires a few shots toward the Romulans, he was never the best with the phaser.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::lets out a breath and looks up:: TAC: Thanks for drawing attention. Now go do something useful Starfleet.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@SO: The captain wants us to do what we can to get the Jarrow, claymore crew and Xrevea to the planet surface.  I am open to ideas.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Disruptor fire continues to fly from across the room.  Striking equipment along the way.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer> ::suddenly appears next to Foster, out of breath and extremely dirty from the combination of crawling and running it took to get to Foster's position::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Raises his eyebrows::  CSO:  Is that all?  Really, couldn't the Captain come up with something at least a little challenging?  ::frowns, trying to think through options::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stays low and continues forward, looking up to see where the disruptor fire is coming from exactly::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Jumps as someone appears next to him, turning with his phaser raised until he sees it on of the security officers.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Glances back to Senn and Hawk, as they have more of the technical details:: Belaon: We took some significant damage on our way down. We won't make the ascent without a more clear and well-mapped path.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stays low and makes her way out from the crate and moves forward as she sees Davis doing the same in the darkness of the fire fight.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@Belaon: I realize it's been some time since you've been running scans of your own...but would your people be familiar enough with this area to suggest an ideal path to the surface?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer>  CNS: Hey, easy killer!
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Glances over at the doc before climbing aboard the Jarrow to hunt down the holo-engineer.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::doesn't move; just looks up and fires back towards the Romulans::  
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer>  CNS: First time with that thing or what?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Crouches behind another boulder, popping up to fire off a string of shots, before disappearing behind once more for cover::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Quickly lowers his phaser.::  Rizer:  Sorry  ::Shrugs apologetically.::  They were never my strong suit.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finds a not so damaged console along the wall and reaches the area behind it::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::lays prone trapped under the tactical officer.::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>:  I know of a thermal power vent that was sealed off years before I took office.  I will join you in your craft.  My people will assembly down here with the rest of your kind and help them to the surface using the natural caverns.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ Holo-engineer:  What is our status?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::crawls over to the nearest crate, crouching behind it she looks around for anything to indicate where the Romulans were::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer>  ::smiles::  CNS: Well, hell, sir...this is the time when them sunuvaguns are handy!  ::turns and fires at a Romulan's face::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Follows the CSO, anxious to hear the status report::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Holo_Engineer>  CSO:  We are operational Commander.  There is nothing more we can do from this location.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::moves to the side of Fong, but stays low::  OPS: Where are you going? We've got to get forward of this point, not go away!  ::speaking kind of loud, with all the weapons fire and all::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ Holo-engineer:  We are out of time anyways.  What was the diagnosis on the transporter?
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ FCO: Plot us a course out of here.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  One of the consoles near Davis explodes in a shower of sparks.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Bows slightly to Belaon once more:: Belaon: Thank you, Grand Minister. We are honored by your support.  ::With a slight sweeping gesture toward the Jarrow:: This way when you're ready, Grand Minister.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns right back around and fires several shots at the source of the last shot::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  FCO passes out due to his current condition.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::points at the Romulans.:: Tac: Shoot at the ones with the green disruptor fire.  Go that way. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Moves out slightly from the crate staying low and fires two shots at the direction of one of the shots::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::nods and moves from Fong's way, waiting for the Lieutenant to move again so he can provide cover fire for him::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Looks at the FCO and shakes his head.  Slides into the pilots seat::  CSO:  Plotting a course.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
Rizer:  Didn't say I couldn't use, just don't expect me to hit what I'm aiming at.  ::Fires at the nearest Romulan he can make out.::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Davis's return fire meets its mark as one of the Romulans scream before falling to the floor.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Sparks fly from the consoles near the Romulans as Ensign Foster’s shots miss their target.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::moves on over to the cover of the crates away from most of the fire, staying on his belly with his hands over his ears as he reads the labels spotting the big box he was looking for and moving to release the latches::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  Okay...  fortunately, the Jarrow's computer retained the course followed to get here.  I have a reciprocal course plotted, ready to lay in.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Opens fire again and begins to crawl forward once more toward the nearest console::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Looks at the FCO and waves the engineer over to help her put him in the back.::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Guides Belaon toward the Jarrow doors::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::with seven other tactical officers and enlisted, he advances forward towards the Romulan position, steadily closing in while maintaining an almost constant stream of fire between the eight of them::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ SO:  We need the doc.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Enters the Jarrow with the Grand Minister, catching the end of Senn's words:: CSO: ...  ::Tilts her head::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer>  ::laughs, seemingly at ease despite the complete and utter commotion around them::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  ::Talks quickly to one of the Xrevean's getting up then moves into the Jarrow.::  All:  fly through the large corridor ahead and be ready to climb at 67.6 degree climb.
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::picks up the silver shape of the isomagnetic disintegrator and looks for the Ensign who tackled him:: TAC: Catch.  ::tosses it his way then turns before he can see if the man caught it or not to pull another from the box::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Makes the FCO as comfortable as possible as she secures him in.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::shrugs::  CSO:  Or, we could follow the direction of someone who knows where the heck he's going.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::feels something hit him in his back, and turns to see the device Fong threw; he reaches down and drags it close to him, then continues to fire::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::waves to his left towards another cadre of tactical officers::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods to Belaon, then gestures to a seat near the conn for him to occupy, turning back to the science officers:: CSO/SO: Commander, Ensign, may I introduce Grand Minister Elect Natalio Ser Belaon, leader of the Xrevean people. His instructions will guide us to the surface via a path to minimize further damage to the Jarrow.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: returns to the front.:: Grand Minister:  Welcome.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@SO: Ensign, up to flying this thing?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Holo_Engineer>  CSO:  I've finished the diagnostics on the transporters.  There is no way to repair them fully here.  I believe there are power drains from ship systems causing an 84% power spike mid cycle.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Nods respectfully:: Belaon:  Welcome, sir.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ CMO: The FCO seems to have fainted... he is secure in the back.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Ducks back down and turns toward Rizer as he hears him laughing.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::looks at his phaser, then at the isomagnetic disintegrator, then back at his phaser::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Takes a seat::  SO:  There is your road map.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  Yep
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::holsters the phaser and lifts the isomagnetic disintegrator to his shoulder::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::spots the Counselor hiding behind some nearby crates with a tactical officer he whistles at the man pulling two of the disintegrators from their protective padding.:: CNS: Ever use one of these?
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  Awaiting your order, Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_SCPO_Cash>  ::gestures to her group and begins advancing along the wall opposite Davis, using a similar approach to Krag's group, firing constantly and moving gradually::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stays low for now, listening and waiting.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers> ::moves to his left some so there's a firing line in between the two tactical crews that are beginning to move forward::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Turns as he hears a whistle and looks at what Fong has in his hands.::  OPS:  I haven't but I have a feeling this guy has.  ::Points to the laughing Tac Officer next to him.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::fires dead center into the Romulan group::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: As the CMO gives them the order to go, she activates the sensors, putting the cave system revealed up in the corner of the screen.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::continues firing at the individual Romulans, providing a distraction if nothing else for the tactical groups, who are now even with him::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  Outloud:  Once we are at the lake.  Take the northern most passage until it ends.  From there we will need to access the sealed doors.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks out from around the console and opens fire taking three shots at another Romulan, hearing the loud boom of the different weapons::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  Aye, ma'am  ::Engages maneuvering thrusters and gently sends the Jarrow airborne and moving slowly toward the corridor pointed out by the Grand Minister::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::tossed the disintegrator towards the two and pulls the remaining one from where he leaned it.  He then looked at the thing's confusing array of buttons and aiming devices for a long minute trying to figure out which end to point at the enemy.::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ Belaon:  What closed doors?  :: Points to the screen::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_SCPO_Cash>  Tactical Crew: Come on! Keep moving!  ::the moment the 'g' clears her throat, she is vaporized by Romulan fire::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Jarrow lifts off and turns 180 degrees as it hovers a few feet off the cavern floor.  Bits of ablative armor fall from the hull as it begins towards the corridor.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Crew_Cheng>  ::stops, staring at the spot where Cash just stood, confidently commanding the crew; his hesitation costs him his arm, which is blasted off by a subsequent Romulan disruptor shot::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_Ens_Smithers>  ::sees Starfleet people being cut down by disruptor fire from the left of the Romulan position, from his vantage point, and he fires the disintegrator that way::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Maintains her cover as she continues firing.  It was hard to tell how many were left at this point.  She questioned were there more waiting if they made their way out::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Grabs the disintegrator not sure how to use it he turns to Rizer.::  Rizer:  Would you like some heavier fire power?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The purple energy pulse flies through the dark room.  Romulans scatter as best they can before the beam impacts the far wall and computer banks.    On impact the room lights up as the area around the Romulans explode.  Most organic material is instantly vaporized.   While the electronic equipment in the area is melted into pools liquid.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_CPO_Rizer>  CNS: Ahh, hell yea!!!! ::goes to grab the bazooka-ish weapon, but pauses::  Why don't you give her a whirl, Ensign?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  CSO:  There is an old sealed thermal vent that leads out.  Or at least it should.  If I can access the door controls we should have the ability to fly out.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::jumps at the explosion, and is so startled that he stops firing and pauses for a moment, but he regains his senses almost immediately::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ Belaon:  Manual or signal?
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Holds the weapon uncertainly.::  Rizer:  Never used one before.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Covers her head behind the console at the big explosion, waiting before looking to see what the damage was.::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The few remaining Romulans begin to retreat into the massive corridor.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
Rizer:  Wouldn't want to shoot it the wrong direction.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sees the confusion among the Romulans and sees this as an opportunity::  ALL: Charge!
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok- says:
::Moves toward T'Shara:: CO: Captain, I strongly suggest we do NOT follow them in.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Moves toward of the Jarrow, resting one hand on the back of the pilot's chair, between the pilot's chair and Belaon::  SO: Doing great, Mr. Hawk. Easy as we can, given the damage we've taken.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> CSO:  Should be signal.  Unless it’s been damaged.  ::Shrugs.:: We will cross that path when we come to it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::scurries to his feet and sprints forward, hoping to at least clear the area rather than just blindly follow the Romulans::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes her arm down and looks up at Damrok::  CTO: Commander, why not?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@SO: Thermal vent doors, ETA?
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::points the opened end of his disintegrator at the middle of the light pouring in from the corridor and starts to pull the trigger, pausing and raising the tube as he hears the XO's orders from a near by security officer's comm badge.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::hears the call and advances his group forward as well::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  Just using enough maneuvering thrusters to keep us airborne and moving.  About 1/4 thrust.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok- says:
CO: If we send anyone, we should send only a small group. We shouldn't allow our main formation to be compromised. It would take us from a place us strength to a position of vulnerability.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: nods and prepares a set up for him to try.  Notes he seems to be doing fairly well with them given their race was once xenophobic... maybe the change altered that.::
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::hands the rest of the disintegrators out to near by tactical officers keeping his for a moment, then thinking better of it and handing it off to someone who knows how to use it.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  ETA to the lake is about 5 minutes...  across the lake to the northern most corridor, then first star to the right.   ::grins::  Doors aren't on sensors yet, so I don't know.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::advances forward to the point of the annihilated Romulans and burning equipment from the disintegrator fire, then stops, scanning around to see if anything is still living::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Hears the call for advance.::  Rizer:  With us moving up I think it'd be best for you to take this, I'd prefer not to kill my own crew by accident on my first mission.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Damrok as she stands::  CTO: Noted Commander.  Let's send a small group ahead.  We need to continue advancing.  We will leave a group behind this will be our base camp.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: reads through sensors as she is able to.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok- says:
::Nods once, finding that an acceptable plan tactically::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  ::reaches the site of the Romulan's demise and looks at Davis::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The Jarrow pulls up from the corridor and into a huge cavern.  Water runs down from the ceiling into a lake in the center of the room.  Small wooden shacks are scattered around the lake through out the room.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Does catch the brief literary reference, since it touches on a genre of preference, she smiles:: SO: Just let me know when you find something.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  Understood.  I'll try to let you know before you hear the crunching noise.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns, not seeing anything threatening in the immediate vicinity::  Krag: Secure this area, moving forward just a few meters in the direction of the Romulan retreat. I'll find out what our next move is.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TAC_LtJG_Krag>  XO: Aye, sir. ::motions his men forward so he can talk to them::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ CMO/SO:  No major obstructions.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  ::Points out at the spot in the cavern near the forward windows.::  All:  There in that passage.  Near the end should be a sealed access door.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ Belaon:  The console is yours to set the signal.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks around for Davis to update him.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves towards his previous position, where he last saw T'Shara and Damrok::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Tweaks the Jarrows course slightly to head to the passage Belaon pointed at::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> ::Moves to the console.::  CSO:  Please type this in.   Secure echo three passage one four security over ride.
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  CSO:  Play it on frequency 1354.12 GHz
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Continues to stand in place. As long as Senn and Hawk are working successfully, she actually has little to do but try to plan for the future. Like, when they arrive at the surface to face hundreds of thousands of Romulan ground soldiers::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> SO:  Be prepared Ensign Hawk.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Nods and inputs the frequency::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@Belaon: For...  ??
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ All:  Set...
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  SO:  This passage was sealed over 350 years ago,  Alot can change.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@Belaon:  Roger that, sir
OPS_Lt_Fong says:
::feeling that the room is somewhat secure he moves forward to check to see if the Array was still working.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  Do we have shields?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finally sees T'Shara among the swarm of tactical officers, and he moves right towards her::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Watches the viewscreen, hands suddenly gripping the back of Hawk's chair tightly:: All: All hands, brace.    CSO: Give us all the shield power you can without sacrificing engines.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@SO:  yes, but not at full strength.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Mutters::  Thanks for the vote of confidence  ::But can't really blame her::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Looks at the doc and turns to begin shifting power::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Commander in talking with Damrok I think it best that we send a small group out to see where the corridor leads.  We will leave a group here making this our base camp.  We need to progress on and not just sit around here waiting for their next move.  But, I also don't want to take any risk by all leaving this area either.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@CMO:  I can give you 80%, but not for long... Not sure about after.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  I assume phasers are out of the question?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CSO: Give the 80% as the doors open...if all if clear, we'll scale back, conserve power for future obstacles.
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  As the codes are broadcast from the Jarrow warning lights begin to glow from the cavern walls.  Huge doors begin to open and loose stones fall to the cavern floor.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Stands as the sounds of weapons fire fades looking around::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ SO:  Only if you have some miracles hiding in your pocket.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, kind of expecting this response, from the words to the facial expressions::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Xrevean messages are picked up by the Jarrows Communications equipment.   "Caution Flooding of central thermal venting in progress.  All persons should evacuate the area immediately.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Brings the Jarrow to a hover well outside the door area::
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Looked back at the leader::  Belaon:  Flooding?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  ::Hears the warning message.::  All:  We should move forwards as soon as the doors finish opening.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Holds tightly to the SO's chair, still standing behind the pilot's seat:: Belaon: Grand Minister...?  Will that affect your people in the cavern behind?
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@Belaon:  Are your people safe?
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> CSO:  Yes.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::At Belaon's direction, looks back at the CMO for confirmation::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The doors finish opening and the water from the lake begins to fill into the corridor under the Jarrow.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: I think we should lead on and leave some of the Overton Tactical officers here to keep it secure.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Nods once, the Minister's opinion of his people's safety is sufficient for her. She turns back to Hawk:: SO: Keeps us centered and...move us in, quickly.  ::Spies the water on sensors::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon>  CMO:  My people will be safe,  but we will need to hurry if we want to reach the surface.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CSO/SO: We want to get through the corridor as quickly as possible, so we can close the doors behind before the lake entirely drains. It can help maintain our cover as we move toward the surface.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Sounds good.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Engages forward thrusters and moves the Jarrow into the corridor...  moving as quickly as he can and still keep the Jarrow from bouncing off walls::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Jarrow warning sensors begin to sound as outside hull temperatures begin to climb.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@All:  OK folks, this is not going to be a smooth ride.  Sensors are picking up an active magma flow in the thermal vent.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Begins to sweat a bit...  the corridor walls look a lot closer when you're actually flying through them::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  Water begins to hit the thermal vent.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@::She's probably repeating herself, but discretion and all:: All: Hold on, people!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Pick a team to stay here and notify the rest we will be moving out.  Make sure both teams are equipped with the disintegrators.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Reaches over to silent the warning.::  All:  Once that water hits the magma... :: does not need to say more.::
Host SMDrew says:
@<Belaon> All:  This will be the tricky part of our escape.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@SO:  Sky, you will need to stay in front of it.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Mutters::  Again with the oh god, oh god we're all gonna die thing
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
@CSO: Hold shields at maximum for as long as you can; divert power from life support if necessary.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Commander make sure no Starfleet are left behind.  ::Gives a look in the direction of Fong and then back to Davis::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CSO:  Acknowledged  ::increases speed slightly::  Let me know how we're doing.
CSO_LtCmd_Senn says:
@ :: Nods marking the changes at a moments notice if needed.::
Host SMDrew says:
@ACTION:  The water fully floods into the Thermal vent causing a massive explosion behind the Jarrow increasing its forward velocity.  Sparks fly as the ship bounces briefly off the corridor walls while Ensign Hawk quickly corrects the flight path.
CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok- says:
