CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::finds her eyesight isn't what it used to be. Pulls out a pair of bifocals and perches then on her tin nose, looking over the rims at the feline::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::looks down at the road, continuing to walk::  ALL:  Who in their right mind would color a road, what is that, pink?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::walks with the rest of the crew down the road trying to get a grip on the situation and not laugh::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::eyes the dog and hisses::  TO:  sorry, instinct.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::finds her fingers rapping against her chest absentmindedly::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  These things are so hard to walk in ::looks down at her shoes::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CSO:  I understand, just watch it.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CO:  Try balancing with a tail, takes a bit of getting used to.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  I just might topple over.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::smiles politely at the TO, while making sure claws extend and retract easily::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
CSO: Can you actually wag it?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO:  Why don't you take the platforms off and carry them?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The crew continues down the road and can see a forest in about 10 meters ahead.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  let me see. ::pauses for a moment to try and pull one the red platforms off.  pulls and tugs but it's as though it is glued on.::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::whips his tail around wildly, hitting anything in range::  CO:  Oh yeah!

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::scans the sky, looking for any rain clouds::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The CO gets a shock when she tries to take the boots off.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::sees the forest and sighs::  CO: Oh great, a place for things to hide and jump us and I only have a water gun.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Damn, they're stuck.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: Maybe the CMO can cut them off?

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
TO: Make sure you don't aim that at me, I'm not partial to water, you know.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
TO: Cut them off? With what?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CMO:  You don't have to worry about that.  I'm not gonna use this thing unless I have to.  It's embarrassing.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Tinny:  Got your ax?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CMO: I don't know.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::looks around:: CO: I must have left it in the corn field ::sigh::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  They enter the forest and can hear the noises that come from a forest.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::looks over the forest approaching::  ALL:  I could climb a tree, maybe get a better look around.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
CO: Besides, I don't want to cut off your feet!

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::glances worriedly at the forest::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CSO: A better look at what?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
CSO:  Your tail just might become useful to us.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::Follows the others into the forest, sniffs the air::  ALL:  Ahhh, pine fresh.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
TO:  better look for where we're going

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CO:  Why, what plan do you have for my tail?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::grabs hold of tail, protectively::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::brings up the rear, watching those in front of her carefully::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::rolls eyes::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
CSO:  We could us it to trip a passer-by if by chance we hear someone approaching us in this forest.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CO:  So someone could step on my tail?  Forget that!

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::rolls her eyes as she continues to walk on::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::can see the headlines now:: CAT TRIPS THE MOUSE THAT ROARED

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
CSO:  Just a thought.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CO:  Why don't we use the "tin-women" over there to chop down a tree, that will stop any passer by.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A bat flies out of the trees  at the crew.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
CSO: BECAUSE, I don't have my axe any more!

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::ducks::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::barks at the bat:: SELF: Did I just do that?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::sniffs::  ALL:  I smell a, a --- a mouse, with wings.   

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::ducks::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
TO: Fetch, girl!

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::growls at the CMO::  CMO: Don't push it.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The bat gets tangles in the CO's braids.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CMO:  Well, your wit is pretty sharp, how about we use that to chop a tree.  ::ducks from the bat::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::narrows eyes::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Help ::swats at the bat::  it's in my hair.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
CSO: fraidy cat.......::hears the CO::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::tries to get the bat out of the CO's braids  while not laughing::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::squeaks over and tries to bat the bat out of her hair::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::laughs at the CO:::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::grabs the bat by the wing and disengages it from the COs braid::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The bat falls to the ground from the swat from the tin woman.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CSO:  Hey kitty, come get the mouse.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::thinks about throwing the bat in the cat's lap and see his jump::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::thinks about it for a second, then  shakes head::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
CMO:  Thanks.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
CO: No worries, Ma'am.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::looks down at the ugly bat and raises her foot::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CMO:  Hey, that could be lunch ya know.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Hear anything else?

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::something inside her tells her not to kill it, a tug of war........anger wins::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::cringes at the thought of eating flying mouse::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::stomps on the bat::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: I hear that bat saying it wants to be eaten.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CMO:  

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CMO:  Well that was gross

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The bad squishes under the CMO's heel.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::looks at the bat on the bottom of the CMO's foot::  CO:  Actually, I don't hear anything anymore.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::turns and looks at the CSO:: CSO: <scarc> Oh please.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Getting a little hungry?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CMO:  You might want to scrap that off, rusty.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: No ma'am, just felt like a snack.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::looks down at her foot and tries her best to scape it off on the grass::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::walks away from the bat:: ALL: Lunch is served.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The crew exits the forest into a plain of metal.  Looking down they are all wearing their own uniforms except the CO is still wearing the boots , but, they all still are in the forms they had assumed.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::feels stomach turn over::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::looks out in wonder::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
  ALL:  Well this is progress

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO:  Ok, something is very very wrong here.  Are we sure this isn't a training mission or something?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
TO:  I'm holding out for mass psychosis

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Better than that tablecloth dress.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::glances down at her uniform and sighs as it doesn't look any better on her or change her appearance::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::mutters under breath:: I JUST love being a flat/barrel chested broad

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Want to toss stuff and the surroundings to see if we hit any holographic walls?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::looks over at the CMO and snickers::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO:  We could do that... or we could see where this road leads.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
CO: I will personally castrate the person ::looks at the CSO:: that has created this holoprogram.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::looks stupidly back at the CMO, licks his left paw::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  That Fuchsia road still beacons us.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: Then after you Dorothy.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::smirks to self:: AHA, I knew you were one of them.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::grumbles to self:: If I am ever ordered to attend another training mission......it will BE TOO SOON!

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  The quicker we get back to ourselves the better.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: I agree Captain.  What do you suggest?

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
CO:   Get back to where, we don't even know where here is

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::hears a booming echo in her chest and wants to cry::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Whatever, lets just get to the "Wizard of Id"

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::glances again at the sky, praying that it doesn't rain::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The crew can see a blue glow coming from a city in the distance and a sign on the side of the road says you are now entering the province of the Wizard of ID...welcome to the Saphire City.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO:  It appears you got your wish captain.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
ALL: lets make tracks!

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
ALL: Yes, let's move it.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Let's go.   ::starts walking at a quick pace::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::squeaks and groans with each step::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::follows the CO watching her surroundings carefully::

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
ALL:  there's gotta be someone there who can correct this, at least I hope.

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::is glad that the cat is afraid of everything, otherwise he would think the squeaking of her joins might be a mouse.::

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::reaches for her oil can and eases the pain and noise::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
ALL: I can see it now, "Congratulations folks, you've just passed or failed your annual training mission."

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
TO: Starfleet wouldn't go this far for a training mission

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
TO:  If this is someone's idea of a training mission, I've got a sharp set of claws them.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CMO/CSO:  Have you ever heard what happened on my first Starfleet Mission?

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
ALL: this is in the realm of something else

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
TO: No

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
::sarcastically::  TO:  Oh please, tell us.  

CMO_Cmdr_TinnySlater says:
::turns and looks at the CSO:: CSO: don't encourage her.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
ALL: I ended up stuck in a drain for hours.  Enough said.

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The crew comes to the city door and sees a rope with a tassel hanging by the door.

CSO_LTjg_Putty_Tat says:
ALL:  do we pull that?
