USS Seleya - 10602.19

"Home, Sweet Homeless" - Part 3

SUMMARY: The Seleya has been steadily loading refugees into the flight bays, cargo holds and every other available space. There has been some minor problems, but nothing beyond their capabilities. Two of the ships, the Guggenheim and the Swinburne have arrived and will commence their loading... time is running out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: How are things down there?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Checks in with the security teams working on removing the hold-outs. Nods at the doctor. :: CMO:  So far....as long as we keep the hot-heads away from the rest of the civilians, we should be alright.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Nods. ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Taps his combadge. :: *OPS*:  Not a whole lot of drama in the last few hours, we seem to have a handle on the crowds now that they can see results.  I'm still awaiting word from the teams extracting the hold-outs.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: Thank you.  Just so you know, its starting tog et crowded up here.  I’m debating using you quarters as cargo storage space.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Looks around, making sure he's out of earshot of the civilians. ::  *OPS*:  What’s the ETA on the other ships?  Were going to run out of room before too long.

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
:: Move off in to the crowd to stop one or two fights. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: The Guggenheim and the Swinburne have arrived.  The Holliday and the Madiba are expected in the next 45 minutes.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Injects some refugees suffering from mild concussion and tries to make sure they'll be taken care off properly. ::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The Swinburne and Guggenheim report their commencement of transports and their shuttles have launched for the surface.

CSO_Axin says:
Self: If the planetary governors had asked for help earlier, we wouldn't be doing this while the crust is ready to liquefy around their feet... but no, internal wretched pride...

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Moves over to the doctor's triage. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I think things are overdue to get really tense down there.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ *OPS*: Understood.  We'll keep you posted.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: Your right, it is a bit too quiet.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: Thank you Commander, Seleya out.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Looks at the XO and refills his hypo. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Not that we're complaining though.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Waves the CTO over when he's done breaking up the squabble. :: CMO:  How's it look doctor?

CSO_Axin says:
CO: Uhhh, Captain....

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@XO: Nothing major so far, which is good. Few broken bones and concussions but that's easily fixed onboard.

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
@ :: Starts to move back to the XO then the people have calmed down. ::

CSO_Axin says:
CO: The site our away team are aiding at is some thirty kilometers from an erupting magma flow

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: The air shimmers near the XO and his team, to reveal another Starfleet officer.

CSO_Axin says:
CO: Other beam-out sites haven't yet been affected... that said, half the planet has been, there's a reason the last sites are where they are...

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Turns to the CSO. :: CSO: How many people are down there at that site?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods, then turns to Lt. Cloud. :: CTO:  Mr. Cloud, I want you to contact the security teams currently extracting those hold-outs in the hills, find out what’s keeping them.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Turns to the new arrival. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Heard that. :: CO: Captain, the Cargo transporters and emergency transporters could speed up the loading of refugees.  It means we'd have no reserves if things got bad...  but we could pick up the pace.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@::Goes over to a little girl, gives her a quick scan with his tricorder then sends her and her mother on her way::  Random Citizen: Just a cough, she'll be ok in a couple of days, but see a nurse once you're on board in any case.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
@:: Walks over to the XO. :: XO: Commander Kilroy, from the USS Guggenheim. I'm here to liaise with you.

CSO_Axin says:
:: Eyes the sensors with concern. :: CO: Two and a half thousand remain... the vessels on inbound are supposed to be extracting many of them.

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
:: Nods at the XO, turns and taps his comms badge. :: SEC: All security heads report your stats!

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CSO: How long do we have?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods.::  Kilroy:  Lt. Commander A'an Selzah, U.S.S. Seleya.  This is Doctor Atreides and our Chief Tactical Officer Lt. Cloud.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Nods at the newcomer. ::

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
@:: Nods at the Commander, while waiting for the reports::

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: The security teams report in one by one. Some have difficulty locating the hill people.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
@XO: I understand you have been here for some time already. How is the evacuation going?

CSO_Axin says:
CO: Pressure's building in the caldera, but with the level of damage the crusts sustained i can't predict how long it'll last... it could be minutes, it could be a few hours, it depends how stable everything down there is.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Looks around for a second, the turns back to Cmdr. Kilroy. :: Kilroy:  Well, to sum it up, were pretty much in a holding pattern right now.  Most of the remaining populous are in secured areas like this one, the few holdouts are being flushed out little by little, but were spread pretty thin right now.  The sooner you can get your people into position the better.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
@XO: Understood. I'll bring my security people down. I think Cmdr. Mulross from the Swinburne will be down shortly.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
CSO: Right, so you don't know. ::turns to Lessing:: OPS: We've got a problem, turns out one of our landing sites could be covered in lava soon, we've got about 2500 people down there still.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Decides to call in for a status report from the triage people. :: *Triage*: How's it going up there?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Points at Atreides . :: Kilroy:  The doctor has a temporary triage center arranged here, this is pretty much the layout for all the holding centers around the planet.  You shouldn’t have too much trouble just sliding right in.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Yes Sir.  I'll pick up the pace here, and inform the other ships

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods. ::  Kilroy:  Excellent.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Injects a random hysterical citizen with some Imaprovoline. :: Self: Thank God for sedatives.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Other Ships: This is the USS Seleya, all ships in the group are advised that area around transport site Alpha is becoming more unstable.  You are advised to concentrate transport there.  Thank you.

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
@XO: Sir all teams have reported in, security teams 1,2 4, and 6 should be here within the next 5 minute, how ever Teams 3 and 5 are having difficulty finding two of the hold out's , they believe the groups may have moved into a cave network in the mountains

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: I'm not sure we can wait for the Holliday and Madiba, what's the status on the Guggenheim and Swinburne? Can we relocate one of them?

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: Acknowledgements from the others ships come in.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Taps out a message to his OPS teams to bring the reconfigured cargo transporters on line, and start using the emergency transporters as well.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Hears Lessing. :: OPS: Never mind, your way ahead of me.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I have already sent a message to them, advising them of the situation.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ CTO:  Inform the teams to exercise extreme caution.  Do not enter the caves until they have been re-enforced by security from the Guggenheim and Swinburne.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I had all our ground teams wear transporter beacons.  we should be able tog et them out of most places.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ CTO:  I'll see about getting some help from Sciences to figure out a way to pull those people out.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: And the Holliday and Madiba? Where are they?

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Looks around at some of the people gathered in the area, leaving many for the medical teams onboard the transport shuttles, while concentrating on the ones fit for transport and given orders when he needs to:: Self: Sedative, sedative, antibiotic, pain killer... At least we've got reinforcements now.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Still enroot.  I'm hailing them now.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
@:: Hears A'an's words to his security team and calls the ship for those security reinforcements. :: XO: If you can get your teams' location to the Gugg, she can put my security there with them.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: Tell them they better not be "cruising" .

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Holliday and Madiba: USS Seleya to USS Holliday and USS Madiba, respond please.

CTO_Lt_Fox_Cloud says:
@XO: Understood sir. :: Taps his comm badge. :: SEC: Cloud to security teams 3 and 5, move to the start of the cave network but do not, repeat, do not enter the caves until reinforcements arrives

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: I'm definitely agreeing with you there, Sir.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: Several shuttles set down near the Alpha site, and a woman jumps out of the one, heading over to the group standing there.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods to Cmdr. Kilroy. :: *OPS* Mr. Lessing, I'm sending you some transport co-ordinates, please forward them to the Guggenheim, along with the instructions please.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: Both ships answer the hail and their captains appear on the main viewer in a split screen.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: Aye Sir.  :: Relays the co-ordinates. ::

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
<Mulross> @XO/Kilroy: Gentlemen, Kathleen Mulross, USS Swinburne.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
:: Pats Lessing on the shoulder in a "I’ll take it from here" way:: Comm: Captains: Gentlemen, your ETA?

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Hails from the Holliday and Madiba onscreen, Sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Checks the transport statistics...  Up by another 25%, but still slow, too slow. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Looks at the woman who just jumped out of the shuttle, slightly surprised. ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :; Looks at both Cloud and Kilroy. :: All: Alright, now we just continue as before.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
<Holbrook> #COM: CO: Greetings Captain. The Holliday’s about 20 minutes out from your position. Do you need us there right now?

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
<Geldar> $COM: CO: The Madiba is about 10 minutes away, Captain. We had a slight warp problem we had to sort out and couldn't go above warp 4 for several hours.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Notices the woman moving through the site, begins walking toward her. ::

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: More of the Seleya shuttles arrive to remove the last of the medically unsound patients who cannot be transported.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
Com: Holliday: Do. I...need...you..now? No please take your time captain, the planet is only falling apart and about to engulf it's population in magma, no rush what so ever......::closes the Holliday comm and turns to the Madiba:: Comm: Madiba: Several hours? If your engineers aren't up to the challenge then get them off your ship captain, time is something we don't have, Darklighter out. :: Closes the comm.. :: Self: Idiots.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Debates whistling innocently, then decides better of it. ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Makes his way over to the newcomer. ::

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@:: Sighs as the shuttles remove some patients. :: Self: Finally.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Captain, the good news is the Guggenheim has moved to a position from which they can better get people out of Alpha site.  And our transporter throughput is up 25 %.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: Did you think that was over the top?

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
<Mulross> @ XO / Kilroy: Gentlemen, my science department tells me we're in an unstable area. Best we get these people out of here ASAP. I know all the ships currently here are concentrating on this site. The other two should show up shortly.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods at Mulross. ::  Mulross:  Lt. Cmdr. A'an Selzah from the Seleya, this is Commander Kilroy from the Guggenheim.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: No, not at all, I'd probably have been more...  angry than irritated though.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ Mulross:  How long do we have?

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
<Mulross> XO: They said an hour or two, but that is about 30km away. So we have some time before the lava gets here.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: Good, because if you had told me it wasn't enough to get my message across my next order would be to take a few pot shots at them to see if that'll get them moving, although I doubt  Starfleet would like that ::grins::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: They might not like it, but it might be effective.. :: Smiles in his twisted way. ::

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
@XO/Mulross: I say we stuff some people in the shuttles and use all available transporters to clear the area. :: Looks at A'an. :: XO: Think your Captain would agree?

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ Mulross:  Definitely.  I'll inform him and get things going from our end.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: The Madiba drops out of warp and sends a message to request instructions. Seems the Captain didn't want to talk over the comm system.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
ACTION: The Holliday also drops out of warp and requests instructions.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Sends a summary of the information back to the Holliday and Madiba, at the highest power level possible. ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Taps his combadge. :: *CO*:  Sir, I'm sure you've become aware of the deterioration here at Alpha site.  Myself, Commander Kilroy and Mulross all agree that focusing our efforts on alpha site must take priority.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Sighs. :: CO: It's just so difficult to get good help these days....

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
*XO* We are fully aware commander, and have already moved the Guggenheim to assist and the Holliday and Madiba have just arrived and are moving into position.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods. :: *CO*:  Understood sir, I'll report back again in 15 minutes.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Turns and looks at Kilroy and Mulross. :: All:  Alright, let’s get going then.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: With Cargo and emergency transporters running, we can transport about 1800 people per hour.  So, once we're loaded, we can help transport people to the other ships.

Host Cmdr_Kilroy says:
:: Nods at the same time Mulross does, and they both go off to confer with their Captains. ::

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Nods at Kilroy and Mulross. Then heads over to the civilians to help Cloud and Atreides keep the peace. ::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: The shuttles that still had to be filled finish their checks and lift off, heading for their respective ships.

CMO_LtJg_Atreides says:
@ :: Looks at the XO and sends some more people on their way, hoping to get done as quickly as possible so they can clear the area, but the ships can handle most of the injured anyway. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
:: Sends a signal to all the other ships, letting them know the Seleya can transport people directly to them, beginning in about 45 minutes. ::

Host SM-Lyon says:
ACTION: All four ships acknowledge the message, and will send co-ordinates for the Seleya to 
use.

XO_Lt_Cmdr_Aan says:
@ :: Moves in and out of the small groups of people huddles together as they wait for they're turns, trying to look both reassuring and forceful at the same time. ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: Sir, we will be finished with Alpha Site in about an hour.

Host CO_Capt_Darklighter says:
OPS: Good.

OPS_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CO: As they say, All's well that ends well.
