Host Frank_SM says:
The Crew of the USS Europa is preparing to send and Away Team on a very dangerous rescue mission.  They must rescue a Cultural Observation Team and they will only be armed with crude weapons.  The odds are against them and the situation looks grim...

Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::back on the bridge in the center seat::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Ready to beam the team down?

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Aye Sir.

OPS_Clemons says:
::back at the OPS station::

FCO_Voraye says:
::In the Turbolift on the way to the bridge, somewhat zoned out::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
*XO*: Your team ready?

CEO_McGregor says:
::Ready to be beamed out::

CSO_Enki says:
::Grumbles about having had to put this stuff back on... standing around on the transporter pad::

XO_Llewellyn says:
::stands on the pad wafting to be beamed down:: *CO*: We are ready

CTO_Hexx says:
::Waiting on the pad.::

CEO_McGregor says:
::Looks over at the XO::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and takes the helm::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Beam them down.... *XO*: Good luck. ::said with affection::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods at Mister Voraye:: FCO: Welcome back. ::smiles::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO:  Aye Sir.  Initiating now... ::Initiates the transporter::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Pulled back to reality at the Captain's statement:: CO: Thank you, Captain. It's good to be back.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at the FCO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::turns her attention back to the screen::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Away Team Materializes on the surface a Kilometer from the Camp of General Klon.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Taps some buttons on the screen, re-familiarizes self with panel:: Aloud: Gods, didn't think something could become so foreign in a month.

OPS_Clemons says:
::At the ready to beam the AT up at the first sign of trouble::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::arrives on the planet, and automatically looks around:: All: This is it, ::points in the direction of were their people are located:; Let go get our people and get home

CTO_Hexx says:
@All: Move quietly, no talking.

CEO_McGregor says:
@XO: Ah hope it's all that easy Commander

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods to the CTO and starts walking behind him, reaching down and takes his sword out.::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Spins chair to face the Captain, waits to catch her attention::

CSO_Enki says:
@::Determined to not be walking last, she keeps up with the XO::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A patrol from the camp is very close to the AT.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at the FCO:: FCO: Yes?

CEO_McGregor says:
::Draws his sword and feels the weight::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Just a question. Tell me about this Chitwa. I do believe I missed her arrival by a margin.

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: Ah hope we do not have ta use these

OPS_Clemons says:
::Chuckles lightly to self and shoots a glance at the FCO, shaking head slightly::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Quietly:: Everybody down.  ::Drops to the ground.::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Drops down::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::drops to the ground at the sound of Hexx' voice::

CSO_Enki says:
@::Down::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Yes, you did. She is the adoptive niece of my yeoman, Graham.... apparently her sister adopted Chitwa initially... and well when her parents died and we found her, she was brought on board.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sees the action on the screen and bites her lip::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The patrol passes within a few meters of the AT, but do not notice them.  They are talking about some kind of party last night.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::doesn't know if she can stand to put Donnie in harms way again::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Nods thoughtfully:: CO: From what I gathered when I was down in The Spot, she's got a bad rap from the crew. But to me, she seems like a pretty....nice young lady. ::Sees the captain's reaction to the screen and spins back around::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Moves up next to the CTO::CTO: What ya see lad?

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::watches as the patrol passes by, turns to Hexx as the CEO is speaking to him::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Bad rap from the crew? I've heard nothing bad about her... except she likes to travel in the jeffries tubes... and those can be dangerous places to be... she could get hurt and well for her own well being I'd rather she not sneak around in them.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Notices the patrol::

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Apparently it's more exaggerated than that. But I want to help her, you know? She said she wanted to find something to do around the ship, any way we could try and arrange that?

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Waits for the patrol to pass, then sighs::

CTO_Hexx says:
@XO: (Whispering) Did ya catch that sir?  They had themselves a shin-dig earlier, I 'spect , most of 'em are gonna be feelin' no pain right about now.  We might get lucky after all.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Its possible. But there are two things to consider... one she is not a member of Starfleet... nor is she in any training program to be in Starfleet... she is a civilian and two... she is a minor... ultimately, Graham is responsible for her.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::nods to Hexx, and then looks around checking to see if it okay to stand back up::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: the patrol moves on and is soon out of sight.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: True, very valid points to consider. However, I recall the Enterprise having their Medical Officer's son serving as an Acting Ensign. Now I know we're not exactly the flagship of the fleet, but that might be something we could work out with Chitwa and Yeoman Graham.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::stands back up, waiting for his team to do the same::

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Stands::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Alters the ship's orbit to stay hidden properly::

CSO_Enki says:
@::And back up.. this is exciting::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::raises an eyebrow at the FCO:: FCO: I believe that Mister Crusher eventually was admitted into Starfleet and.. I do not know under what exact circumstance he was made 'acting ensign'. But this is not the enterprise and I am not Jean Luc Picard.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Moves out again::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Chuckles:: CO: I'd certainly hope not, Captain. Just tossing around some ideas. She seems like a nice kid.

OPS_Clemons says:
::under breath:: Self: Ouch.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::motions for them to continue towards their people::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::gives him a softer look:: FCO: She is a nice kid... and smart too... from what I have seen... we will see what she has to offer in due time, Mister Voraye.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: I hope so. So what else have I missed in my absence?

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Only so much an intel report can say, you know?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks back at the screen:: FCO: Not a lot... we've been  on patrol and we've been here... that's about it.

FCO_Voraye says:
CO: Oh, okiedokie. ::Taps the helm console to bring up the Engine Status monitors::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Away Team is soon at the outskirts of the camp, and the sun is just beginning to break over the horizon.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Crawls up on a low dune to survey the camp.::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::crawls up next to Hexx:: CTO: So what do you think

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Looks behind them to make sure there's no sneak attack::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: As soon as the sun rises the loud call of a trumpet can be heard, then the thundering hoof beats of the Ragnor, finally followed by the war cries of General Haalk’s cavalry.  The attack has begun.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@CTO: well our friends are here

CSO_Enki says:
@::Woohoo... it begins... maybe we'll get some real action now::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: What are the guards around the Observation team doing? Are they moving in on them or are they going away?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: From the away Teams vantage point the needlelike formation of the attacking cavalry can be seen, cutting a swath of death through the unprepared camp.  Chaos ensues.

CEO_McGregor says:
@:: Well here we go, Hope ah don't get any new scars this time::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: They don't appear to be moving that much at the moment...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods:: OPS: What about everyone else... are they attacking Haalk's men?

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Shrugs::  All: Well, reckon there's no time like the present.  Let's go, and act casual.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Looks around, thinks to self "I really oughta read more current reports"::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Haalk and his men have begun their attack on the camp, they are on their way now.  The Away Team will need to hurry if they are to succeed.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods and hopes the team hurries::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Gets up and starts jogging into camp::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::stands and starts off after Hexx, wondering what act casual meant::

CSO_Enki says:
@::Wonders if she should have worn her casual shirt... starts in following the general direction::

FCO_Voraye says:
All: Wow, how's about a tense moment? Really, you could cut the anticipation in here with a knife.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at the FCO, then back at the screen::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Due to the extremely chaotic situation the Away Team is able to pass through camp quite easily... or at least as easily as can be expected in a situation like this.  Except that Hallk's cavalry is headed right toward where the prisoners are being held.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::keeps an eye out for anyone coming at them::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Softly, under breath:: OPS: Maybe Beta shift would be a little more....accepting of subtle humor?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::wonders if she hurt Voraye's feelings... it is a tense moment::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@ All: We need to hurry, I wouldn't want Hallk's men to think we are from Klon’s camp

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: Perhaps so... but you can't expect humor at a time like this.

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Just trying to lighten the atmosphere in here.

OPS_Clemons says:
::Shrugs::  FCO: It'll all be over soon enough.

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Draws his knife and grabs the XO's arm.::  Sorry sir, reckon we shouldn't a' healed this so fast.  ::Cuts the XO's arm to match the old wound, then rips off a piece of shirt to bind it.::

CTO_Hexx says:
@XO: Reckon they might remember you better this way.

CSO_Enki says:
@::Suddenly has new respect for the CTO... at least someone around here has a sense of humor::

CEO_McGregor says:
@CTO: Glad you did that an not me

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::gasps a moment but realizes what Hexx is trying to do... plans to heal Donnie again when he gets back::

CTO_Hexx says:
@::Keeps running toward the tent.::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::His eyes grow wide, as the CTO slices his arm.  He grabs the wound:: CTO: What the hell, ::takes off after the CTO::

CEO_McGregor says:
@:: Runs next to the XO:: XO: We better hurry sir or you might get more than that

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::sees Donnie is not pleased, all will be settled after everyone is back and safe::

CSO_Enki says:
@::Follows along still, taking the rear... but watching her back.  She learned how to do that a long time ago::

OPS_Clemons says:
Self: Hexx is gunna get it.

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::shoots the CEO a look, but keeps up with the CTO::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action The Away Team arrives at the cages just as the Calvary does.  One of the riders, seeing the XO chasing the CTO bears down on Hexx.  As Hexx reacts and thrusts down with his sword the pike doesn't strike him in the chest, but he is impaled through the gut.

FCO_Voraye says:
::On the edge of his seat::

OPS_Clemons says:
::Sees the action on the screen and spins to the Captain::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::looks at Hexx get it in the stomach:: OPS: Keep an eye on Hexx' life signs... ::worries for the team, sees he is still moving somewhat::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Aye Sir.  I'll beam him out if they get too bad?

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::runs up to the CTO, reaching for a med kit that isn't there.::  CTO: Maybe you should have cut your arm instead ::takes a moment to look at the wound::

FCO_Voraye says:
::Makes sure the ship can still transport without interference, but still stays hidden from view::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::nods to OPS:: OPS: Yes... but lets see what Commander Llewellyn says...

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Aye.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The rider pulls back and frees his pike from the wounded CTO, and turns toward his next target, which happens to be the CSO.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Comes up behind the rider and swings at his arm::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@ ::sees the Rider and yells:: Rider: STOP THESE ARE MY MEN

CSO_Enki says:
@::Grins a feral grin, and draws her sword.  With a battle cry, she parries his pike sideways, throwing a punch towards his face::

FCO_Voraye says:
Self: Oh Gods.

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The rider catches only a glancing shot at the CSO, then, hearing the XO's cry and fearing he will be executed for his mistakes, charges the XO.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Get ready... when you beam out... beam every one out.. the Away team the observation team... and ... no! ::panics::

CSO_Enki says:
@::The pike scrapes her side, and as his attention lapses...::  Rider: Get back here!  ::Charges, her sword at the ready, a little too good with it::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Sir?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Two more riders, seeing the battle, charge the Away Team.

CEO_McGregor says:
@::Leaps at the rider catching him in a tackle ::

XO_Llewellyn says:
@::as the rider approaches he quickly drops to the ground and raises up his sword to it will hit the horse as he passes::

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Sir! Two more!

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Beam them out... now!

OPS_Clemons says:
::Starts Transporter::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Ragnors stomach is armored and the XO's sword glances harmlessly off.  Unfortunately the Ragnors claws penetrate the XO's armor, leaving him wounded also.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Directly to sickbay.

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::directs the beam out to Sickbay.::

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: the Away Team and the prisoners are beamed out.

OPS_Clemons says:
CO: Should I alert Sickbay?

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
OPS: Yes....

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: You have the bridge... I suspect I won't be your Captain for much longer.

FCO_Voraye says:
::Blink blink:: CO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::gets in the lift and goes to sickbay::

OPS_Clemons says:
*Sickbay*:  Prepare to take heavy casualties Doc.

FCO_Voraye says:
<Doctor Standin> *OPS*: Understood.

OPS_Clemons says:
FCO: I'm Confused, why won't the Captain be our Captain much longer?

Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The battle on the surface continues, just as General Haalk had planned.  His men ride out and Klon's men pursue.  They are met on the plains by Haalk's infantry and are easily defeated.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::feels his mid section and can feel the blood escaping from his wounds, and then he looks around and realizes he is in Sickbay.  Even though he is suffering extreme amounts of pain, he feels like he failed more then anything

CSO_Enki says:
::Right before she dematerialized, she had leaped... now as she rematerializes, she slices apart a biobed with a war cry that would make a mother proud::

FCO_Voraye says:
OPS: Symantics, Ensign. One could construe her putting the crew in danger like that as a court martial offense.

FCO_Voraye says:
<Dr. Standin> ::Watches hurt folk materialize in sickbay:: Med. Staff: Okay, let's get to work people.

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::arrives in sickbay, goes to Donnie but speaks to everyone:: XO/CTO/CSO/CEO: I am so sorry... I... I've failed you all...

CSO_Enki says:
::As the sword clangs off the deck, she realizes where she is, and the battle adrenaline fades... she slowly stands up::

FCO_Voraye says:
<Dr. Standin> ::Grabs a tricorder and a dermal regenerator and begins to sweep over the XO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::feels Enki's blood lust and then feels it back off a bit, looks at her with a sad look::

FCO_Voraye says:
<Dr. Standin> Med Staff: I need twelve CCs of acetomenophen Stat!

CSO_Enki says:
::Feels the CO's gaze::  CO: Um... sorry... do I have to pay for that, ma'am?

XO_Llewellyn says:
::closes his eyes and lays back letting the med staff work::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
XO: This is not your fault... believe me... the blame is mine... the plan was mine... you were just carrying out my orders...

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::turns to Marla:: CSO: No.

FCO_Voraye says:
<Dr. Standin> XO: Thank you, Commander. I think there may be some internal bleeding, here. We'll have yall folk fixed up in no time.

CEO_McGregor says:
:;Sits silently::

CSO_Enki says:
::Sets the sword down, and rubs the back of her neck, and then looks over at the XO, then at the CEO, and finally the CTO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::watches as med staff attend to the CEO and the CTO::

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
XO: Donnie? No word for me?

OPS_Clemons says:
::Wonders what happening down in Sickbay::

FCO_Voraye says:
<Dr. Standin> Med. Staff: We need a Resonance Tissue scan on the XO. ::Scans the CTO:: Med.: Might as well get one for the CTO as well.

XO_Llewellyn says:
::opens his eyes and looks at Heather with a sad look, and then closes his eyes again::

CEO_McGregor says:
Med person: Alright lass enough, A'm fine...Let me out a here

Host CO_Llewellyn says:
::closes her eyes, feeling his pain both physical and emotional, knows that this will not end well, touches him to comfort him as much as to comfort herself::
