Last time on the Scimitar:

The crew of the Scimitar is taking shelter in the woods after the orbital bombardment of the camp, hundreds of Umbicar and a few dozen Starfleet officers lay dead on the ground, their bodies charred. Police cars zoom past in the sky, picking up refugees and shooting on sight. The Captain has been hit hard with the disease, but is finally ready to snap out of the worst off it. But the illness is taking it's toll on more people, as the Starfleet officers start, one by one, to pass out to exhaustion and fever. 

The USS Jaynestown is still en route to the system, trying to make contact with the Scimitar, to find out why she stopped responding.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission Crossroads – Part 4>>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::on the surface, looking at all the refugees:: Self: Smart idea, Ren, now what?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Re....report. ::leans against the wall:: Is the Captain conscious?

General Karr says:
@::Stands on the Bridge of the Scimitar, his legs a bit wobbly but his superiors will give him the cure when they were done mass replicating the drug::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::holding his hand to his head and wobbling a bit:: XO: Where are we?

Dr. Karl says:
@::staying quiet::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins to answer then the CO speaks so he keeps his mouth shut and holds on through another wave of nausea::

General Karr says:
@Karl: Doctor....there is another Starfleet vessel on their way......has been hailing us for the past 2 days....what is their standard operating procedure? Will they call in the fleet or examine the situation by themselves?

XO  Ro'kar says:
CO: Captain... please remain seated, you are not well. I...I will deal with this

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::looks up at the XO:: XO: You don't look too good yourself.

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: I'm a Doctor, not a strategist.

General Karr says:
@::checks his datapadd as he receives a memo from his taskforce:: Karl: You are a federation warrior, you know these things!

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: I am not a warrior. My job is to fix people up after the warriors have had their drunk parties.

XO  Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Do we have any tricorders or scanning devices here? ::looks at the CTO, then the CO as he speaks:: CO: I said I will..deal...with ::pauses as the wave of dizziness hits him:: With it...

INFO: Night has fallen over the moon, the crew watches the sun settles quickly and leaves them in the dark and the breeze comes in....shaking the leaves around them

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: None that work, there were a few of the engineering staff that had some but they were deactivated along with the weapons

General Karr says:
@Karl: No matter....it is a small ship, no match for my fleet...

Dr. Karl says:
@:shrugs with a grin::

General Karr says:
@::pushes a hypospray against his neck and breathes a sigh of relief, then sits down in the Captain's chair.....the bridge a complete mess around him, along with the whole ship in pieces.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Sit down Commander... ::looks around at the others:: Aloud: We need to regroup... Vendal, we're going to have to go native, look around and see what you can find that can be used as a weapon.

Dr. Karl says:
@::stands up and paces::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: We still have a little more than a dozen disruptors taken from the camp and the partial charge on the phaser

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Do we have them on sensors yet ?

General Karr says:
@Karl: Sit down Doctor...there is nothing you can do.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: We don't need weapons, sir. We need a way to escape... medical supplies, runabouts, anything... 

OPS Goneril says:
# Rome: Aye Sir, we can see the system and that it is being quarantined but that's about it.

ACTION: A police car appears over the wooded area, blinding the XO with its floodlights

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: If I pace enough I might walk a hole in the floor.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Argh! ::tries to crouch down as the lights blind him:: Get down! Everyone!

General Karr says:
@::lets out a grunt that is considered something similar to a laugh::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::dives for cover:: XO: If the authorities are airborne it would stand to reason they have people on the ground too.

ACTION: The car starts firing disruptors at the crowd, it's pilot attempting to call in the location to his superiors

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Returns fire trying to disable enough to commandeer the vessel::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Long range scans if you can, weapons fire, debris...anything you can think off.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::starts to crawl on his belly towards the car, reciting a Bajoran death chant ::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Ro`kar get back here!

ACTION: The car is hit from underneath, disruptor fire from the CTO and his tactical team hit the power module and the car drops to the ground as the repulsors cut out, killing the driver and damaging the car

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Engineers: GO and see if you can patch that.  NOW!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Vendal and his teams scramble to the car taking out the operators and seing what does work::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Puts all available people to fixing the car to act as support for the crew fleeing::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins monitoring of police bands to find best route to avoid capture::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Sir we have some medical supplies and more rations in here ::Hands them to the XO::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
:: takes them and starts looking at the contents:: CTO: Thank you. ::looks at the CO:: CO: Captain, we need to distribute these rations to the most needy in the group

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Anything on long range? I'm starting to worry again. Make me stop worrying ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Scanns datpad and finds good news:: XO/CO: Sirs according to this datapad Dr. Karl found a cure but it is still in the process of being mass produced.  If we can assault the facility we could save the crew

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Do it... make sure everyone gets what they need out of what we have. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: What do you have by way of weapons?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins pulling up data on the facility doing mass production::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: As I said before sir we have one partial charge on a phaser and a little over a dozen disruptors, we did get 3 rilfes from the car and the car has gun emplacements when the engineers get it back running

INFO: Crewman Daniels coughs up blood and then falls over wideeyed.......he's dead

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: If I could, I would Sir. But then watching you squeam is kind of funny too,

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::checks Crewman Daniels' pulse:: CO: He is dead, Ji- Ethan

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Pick the most able bodied crewmen from this group and arm them... I'll take a rifle, when they get the car running you take the turret

Captain Rome says:
#::Attempts a genuine smile:: OPS: Just give me the damn report

Daniel says:
Aloud: I knew I shouldn't have worn the red uniform.... ::expires::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: You're the closest thing to a doctor that we have here... set up a triage area right here.

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: There is nothing to report more at this time, Sir. Seriously, you should get a magazine or something because I can't handle the 'are we there yet...are we there yet...are we there yet' questions.

INFO: The whole crew and the Umbicar people who followed them are a mess....most are lying around feverish, coughing

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: Closest thing to a doctor? Captain, I AM a doctor, not...a.. ::coughs and just nods::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: My two tactical team have been doing well with the disruptors, I only need a couple more to pas out the rest ::Goes to find able boddied members::

ACTION: The XO coughs up blood

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::glances sideways at the XO:: CTO: I want two of your team left here for defence.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I would advise either to leave an entire 6 man team or assign the job to others, they are trained in group tatics and breaking up the group reduces their effectivness

Captain Rome says:
#::stands up:: OPS: Emergency power, lets take her to warp 9.7 and attempt to broadcast a signal on the deflector, if they are out there perhaps we can try and get through when we are in range..

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::examines the blood:: Self: It seems that the virus has spread to the lungs ::starts examining some of the people::

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: Aye Sir, boosting power from secondary life support systems to the toilet flushes... we'll get there as soon as possible. ::does it::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: And I know the specs say warp 9, but damnit she can handle it. Trust me

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: And if not, it'll be a quick death.. quick.. gettit?

Captain Rome says:
#::accesses deflector control and starts broadcasting a long range emergency beacon to all Starfleet signals in the system::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Shut up.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: They're also trained in escape and evasion and CQB, the previous CTO saw to that... these people ::gestures to the rest of the group:: aren't.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: That will change, we do have a few other security members that can handle a static defense position.  I just would hate to break up one of the teams.  However it is your call

OPS Goneril says:
#::goes all quiet::

ACTION: The CTO's commbadge starts emitting a series of beeps, disrupted by radiation and a bad connection
General Karr says:
@::looks up as the Bridge starts receiving a communications signal, a series of beeps:: Karl: What is that ??

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
:: tries to minimize the symptoms for the more needy of the group::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Taps his badge and sets it to emit a starfleet emergency beacon response coded secure 354::

INFO: The XO notices that every fifth patient is either dead, or in the final stages

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: Sounds like beeping.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: We need that car to be light and manoeuverable... ::pauses:: Split the team, we'll take three and leave the rest here.

General Karr says:
@Karl: I can hear that! What does it mean? ::attempts to cut the signal off from the console in front of him::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Understood

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the people in disbelief, steadying himself against a wall:: Self: I can't help them all...I...I can't help...them... ::tries to hide the disbelief::

General Karr says:
@::coughs up blood on the console and takes a moment to steady himself, the wipes it off and continues his work::

OPS Goneril says:
# Rome: Incoming reply.

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: What does it say ? ::Stands up::

Dr. Karl says:
@::looks at Karr:: Karr: Well I don't think spitting on the consoles will help.

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: It's just an acknowledgement from their CTO.

General Karr says:
@::reaches for the hypospray and injects himself once more:: Karl: Don't worry....I'm not going anywhere yet.

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: Do I look worried? ::carries on pacing, each time moving closer to the back-wall console::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: So they are alive. ::smiles and pats the OPS on the back:: Try and see if we can transmit a audio signal

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the equipment in his hand:: Self: To that starfish I make a difference?

OPS Goneril says:
# ::taps some buttons and nods to Rome to record his message::

General Karr says:
@::looks at the adrenaline shot and notes there is only one injection left:: Karl: Sit down before you hurt yourself, Doctor

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: How long until it's ready?

Dr. Karl says:
@Karr: Pacing help me think, and I need to think about a better all-round cure. ::gestures a 'shush' with his arm::

Captain Rome says:
#Outloud: This is Captain Jonathan Rome onboard the USS Jaynestown, we are investigating the lack of communication from the Scimitar...please respond.

OPS Goneril says:
# ::taps the console:: Rome: They should be revieving the message.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::Takes a deep breath and walks up to the next patient, faking a smile::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Let's hope they get it..ETA ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::With the slight hum the engines of the police car come to life again and it begins hovering a few feet off the ground::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: We are ready now sir

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Then let's load up. ::grabs a rifle and heads for the car::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Looks to the engineers and smiles:: Engineers: You all did well, thank you

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: At our new whizzing speed... 8 hours Sir.

ACTION: The CTO's commbadge receives a garbled signal ..."This is....Rome......lack of.....'cation....Scimi.....respond"

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Loads up into the car, the second half the the second team taking up driver and second positions and first team taking up supporting ground positions::

General Karr says:
@::growls as the signal from the Jaynestown comes through to the Scimitar and attempts to block it::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::hears the garbled communication:: CTO: Did he just say Rome?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Taps his badge keeping on secure channel:: Com: This is CTO Lt Vendal, we have been hijacked from our ship and placed on the moon, we are infected and trying to obtain Dr. Karl's cure for the crew.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: It sounded like it

#ACTION: The speakers receive a signal, very badly degraded.."Vendal....hijacked from the.....place on the moon...<high pitched garble> Infected...cure..." the signal cuts out

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: According to the datapad, the facility is only a hlaf mile into town, we should be able to get there fast, I will report a fake sighing in the other direction to draw off forces

Dr. Karl says:
@::decides now is a good a time as any and reaches for the console to transmit a standard hi-jack-distress call::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins entering request for backup for other side of city, reporting large numbers of starfleet crew::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I would suggest we move fast, it won't take long for them to discover the diversion and come back full force

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: That doesn't sound good......we're the closest ship....can you invent transwarp ?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::thinks fast:: CTO: Send the following message twice then cut the com... "We locked the doors but left the oven on."

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Taps his badge again and repeats the message twice then cuts off the com signal::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Done

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Ok, let's go!

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: Incoming distress call from the Scimitar... its been hijacked!

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
:: sits down to catch his breath, putting his hand in his head::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Orders the driver to navigate to the facility::

Dr. Karl says:
@::moves from the console again, hoping that Karr didn't notice::

General Karr says:
@::looks over his shoulder angrily and runs over to the Doctor and strikes him down hard::

Dr. Karl says:
@::takes the hit and falls down, reaching out and punching Karr hard in the chest where he knows the disease will have made him weak::

#ACTION: Signal comes through "We lock...e doors but left the oven on." the repeats and cuts off.

@ACTION: The General falls down onto the console, cluthing his chest and trying to breathe. The Guard on the Bridge attempts to raise his rifle and fires

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::As the car gets close to the facility, orders the driver to slow and let the teams take point and report on guards::

Captain Rome says:
#::lets out a relieved laughter:: OPS: That's more like it! That's Ethan.....he used that code....what, 4 years ago...The Scimitar is under enemy control, we need to disable it

Dr. Karl says:
@::grabs the Generals weapon and swings it around to shoot his guard::

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: What's the plan, mon Capitan?

@ACTION: The Guard falls against the wall, a large gaping hole in his chest

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Signal the fleet, emergency assistance required. We keep on course and attempt to enter the system undetected...start working on a plan. Open up a channel to the CTO again

Dr. Karl says:
@::Stands up, weapon pointed at Karr::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: What's the word?

General Karr says:
@Karl: Do it....kill me, I don't want to die from this sickness! KILL ME!

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: Right Sir... ::opens channel to the CTO and nods to Rome as she contacts the fleet::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Tactical teams com opens and reports that only one guard in place at facility gate::

Dr. Karl says:
@::changes the setting to stun and shoots him, walks up to him:: Karr: Dammit Karr, I'm a Doctor, not a murderer,

Captain Rome says:
#Out loud: Soup will be checked on, and bringing a good pie.

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Cut the channel

OPS Goneril says:
#Rome: Soup? ::cuts the channel::

Captain Rome says:
#OPS: Spicy. ::grins::
