Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
First Officers Log Stardate 10311.22:  The Counselor, Lieutenant Jackson and myself are still buck naked.  We are trying to find a way to get off the planet.  We also have to save our doctor, and stop the queen bug.(Now is that right?)

Host Biishe says:
<<<<<<<<<< The Search >>>>>>>>>>

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::turns to Sid:: XO: Are we getting Gary to the surface or how does it work?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::at the helm, monitoring the Coobla activity::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Are you any closer to the surface?~~~

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Turns to Varesh:: CNS: We will have to get Lieutenant Jackson to the Nighthawk, get some clothes, then get some weapons and rescue our doctor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Although a little self conscious about her lack of attire she strolls out into the hallway as if nothing was wrong... bug guards with her.  As the King Bugs pet she is determine to see how far she can go...  She projects her progress to Varesh..since he has given her a headache she thought she would return the favour.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::grabs Gary and lifts him up::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: No, Aaron, we're still fighting a rear guard action from the Coobla. We're finding a ventilation shaft so we can get closer to the surface. Can you scan and maybe help us in any way?~~~ XO: Aye, sir. I just told Aaron that we're attempting to get closer to the surface.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::brings up a report from engineering showing that some headway is being made with the crystals::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::She thinks to herself thank heavens she works out not that slimmy bugs care about things like that.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::waves the tricorder around, trying to find a way to the surface.:: TO: How is Gary doing?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  I'll try my best, but being behind this moon, I'm not certain how much luck I'll have.~~~

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
CNS: He has fainted.I gues the pain was just to much.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS:  I guess we need a couple phasers and a med kit. ::Turns to the Ensign::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Understood. Anything will be much appreciated... I'll even buy you a drink or twelve.~~~ XO: That is an understatement, sir. I will settle for nothing less than a phaser cannon if I could.

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  From around the caved in tunnel, workers could be heard clearing away the rubble.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::a grin comes across his face::  ~~~CNS:  Let's just work on getting you guys out of there first.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir, I suggest we get out of this area. ::peers at his tricorder:: That way. ::points down the corridor::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::As she begins to wander around she pays particular attention to what the critters are doing.  She finds it fascinating to say the least.....::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Puts gary down fore a brief moment::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
:Laughs:: CNS: If we could beam down a photon torpedo I would be happy.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::stops and scans again:: XO: I'm a bit muddled... we have a gaping hole in the ceiling.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::from out of nowhere, he can sense a strong feeling of fear and terror coming from the Coobla::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Amen to that!~~~ ::smiles and starts climbing up the pile of rubble.:: TO: Hand Gary up to me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::As she walks plans come across her mind....:: Self:  The only thing missing around here is the regeneration tubes....  ::She looks into a room and takes a seat near the wall and just watches... she commits what she sees to memory... She projects it to Varesh.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up:: CNS: Let's head up.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Lifts up Gary::CNS: Here be careful with him mother will be crushed if he gets hurt.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets the image from Anita, since he's been "watching" her since he could focus.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@CNS:  V, I don't know if you can here me...  The bugs are not unlike the Borg in mentallity...or single mindedness..hive mentallity as far as I can see.  That is to our advantage....

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the obviously broken legs:: TO: Too late for that. We'll get him fixed up on the ship.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Starts heading up::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::projects as gently as he can, almost a whisper:: ~~~CMO: Thanks. We'll keep that in mind.~~~

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Please inform the Cmdr, that until I can think of something to get me from behind this moon, I will not be able to transport anyone.  I'm working on something as we speak.~~~  ::begins checking all ships systems to see how much power they're getting::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Starts climbing up one rock at a time::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Winces as she receives a response then groans.::  Self:  Don't do that again.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Starts to climb::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I see... keep trying Aaron. Lt. Jackson is in serious need of medical attention.~~~ XO: Sir, Aaron says that until he can find a way to get out of hiding, he can't beam us back to the ship.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::braces himself and Gary on the pile of rubble, letting the others climb past him to take the security officer from him and onto the next level.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Gets up to the next level and extends his hand to whomever was behind him::  CNS: Ok.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks I must climb faster before those nasty Coobla catch up::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Crawls out of the hole in to the next level::

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  As the others climb up, the captain watches from below.  The now unstable shaft begins to cave in around him.  The floor from above starts to collapse with the rest of the AT standing on it.  They can just hear the captain's last command.  "Get back to the ship".

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::scrambles as the floor starts to collapse, dragging Gary to safety::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Holds on to Gary::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#*EO Morgan*:  We really need to find a way to get those crystals working....and fast!  I've got an AT down there that really needs our help.  Let's get moving.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::lies gasping for a moment:: TO: Pick him up, we need to keep moving.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#<EO Morgan>*FCO*:  Give me five more minutes, and I'll definitely have the power you need.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Stands up and lifts Gary up::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the cave in:: ALL: You heard him...

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO:Yep I heard loud and clear. Lets move out.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gives Sid a long look, takes his tricorder and scans:: XO: I have a faint signal on the Captain... but we have Coobla coming towards us.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: We got to keep moving we can't stay here.

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  A group of soldier Coobla come upon the CMO and surround her, motioning for her to move.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Agreed sir. We have to keep moving up.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  In about five minutes, I should have enough power to go out and show those Coobla ships who they're dealing with and to get into transporter range.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Becomes bored and is about to get up when she is surrounded.:: Self: Oh boy... ::She gets up not making an overt move.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Line up those drinks Aaron... I just have to warn you... I'm not good at drinking.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@Coobla:  Hmmmm is there a problem?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: I'll take Lieutenant Jackson, Ensign Jackson you take point.

Host Biishe says:
@<Lead guard> :: Shakes his head and motions her to stay with them. ::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  I'll just have to work on getting you good at it.~~~

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Grabs his phaser::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Takes the point::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Shrugs::  Lead Guard:  Oke... lead on McDuff.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir, Aaron will be able to help us in five minutes or so. ::swings the rifle into position and follows the others down the corridor, scanning for a way up. Keeps looking backwards for sign of Coobla.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Plops Jackson on his shoulder, and walks behind the TO::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: I'll take that as a promise.~~~ ::smiles slightly to himself::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Starts to walk a little faster::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks we have to get out of here::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::can still feel the nervousness and fear coming from the Coobla::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Projects to Varesh and Aaron that she is being led away... past many tunnels in a upward way.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: Slow down, Ensign.  Slowly and carefully.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir! Anita is being taken to the surface!

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#<EO Morgan>*FCO*:  Got it!  Power is fully restored and we should be able to replace any power as we use it.  Good luck!

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@Self:  Hope Aaron doesn't mind.  Besides it's V's fault he was the one who taught her this against her will...  ::Sends an apology to Aaron for intruding and blames V for it, but sends a grin for good measure.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks if we move any slower we will move back::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#*EO Morgan*:  Excellent.  Hold on to your hats, we're about to go in!

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: We're getting to the surface as fast as we can.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Continues to walk and curses as pebbles get embedded into her feet.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
:;keeps a rear guard action, watching for any Coobla::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Continues behind the TO:: CNS: Anybody ahead?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::receives an image from Anita.  Begins bringing shields up and weapons online::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Not yet... we still have bugs behind us... I'm not sure if they know we are here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Takes a deep breath as fresh air enters her nostrals... the light begins to hurt her eyes a bit, but it's a welcome sight.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@Lead Guard:  Why are we going to the surface?

Host R`t`k`d says:
@::Turns as the alien approaches her.::  CMO:  I have changed my mind.  It is not good for one to go beyond her station.  I have decided to send you home to the queen.  Perhaps she will find you amusing.  If not... ::Shrugs her shoulders::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::starts entering an attack plan, first going after the ships that he can sense the people that the Coobla have taken onboard::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Bugs behind us, wonderful...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@R'T'K'D:  Hmmmm Oh..... and where is home?   ::Panic projects to both Varesh and Aaron... Help!!  They are taking me away!::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Aaron... if you get any sign of Anita on sensors, try and beam her out.~~~ XO: Sir, with Anita nearing the surface, I asked Aaron to see if he can beam her out.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Understood.~~~

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: Good, that would save us a trip down here.

Host R`t`k`d says:
@::Points upward toward the clear skies::  CMO:  In that area.  ::Nods to the guards who take her to one of the small transport ships.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO: These tunnel go on and on. Where does it end?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks around:: XO/TO: This looks faintly familiar. ::looks at his tricorder:: Yes, we're in the mineshafts.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::gets another image of Anita and knows he needs to act fast::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Tries to keep her outward appearance calm.::  R'T'k'd:  Hmmmm Listen lets talk about this!  I'll make you a good pet!  I'm just a lowly doctor and not above your station...  ::Project's ships to her friends.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: Hold up.  CNS: That means there are people here?

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Sits down to take a breather::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, sir. Including guards... especially the one who cut my back to ribbons. The slaves might help us, but we have to act fast...

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO: Do you want me to carry Gary fore a while?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Gets closer to the small cramped ship.::

Host R`t`k`d says:
@::Shakes her head and turning around goes back underground.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#Self:  Freighter will be first target.  Bring their shields down, transport over all of the people and then work on the transport ships.  I guess this is as good a time as any.  ::brings engines online::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: I have him, you have a better shot.  CNS: Understood.  What do you have in mind?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles evilly:: XO: Simple. Kill the guards and free the slaves.

Host R`t`k`d says:
Scenery:  The hatch is open with a pilot waiting for the CMO to enter.  There is a small area just behind him that she can squeeze into.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Is shoved into the transport basically sitting in the pilots lap.... she smiles sweetly up at him...::  Pilot:  Looks like we are going to be up close and personal for a bit....  ::Looks him over carefully while checking to see if any of her nails have been broken.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::brings up the NH's attack pattern and engages, bringing the NH out from behind the moon::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the Counselor:: CNS: If you don't mention it in your report, I won't mention it in mine....

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::blinks innocently:: XO: What report, sir?

Host R`t`k`d says:
@<Guard> ::Steps forward and binds the doctors hands and legs.  Then nods to the pilot as he steps back and closes the hatch.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO: Shal we start walking again?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Squeezes in behind him.. waits calmly until they take off.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
TO: You'll recognize the guards easily... they are the fat, bullying ones... Slaves are underfed, badly beaten and overall miserable. Don't shoot any of them.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Smiles:: CNS: Let's go TO: FIre at all the guards.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::comes up from behind the ships and fires at two of them::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO:Shal i set my phaser to kill?

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  Surprised and therefore unprepared, two of the small fighters go up in blazes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs:: TO/XO: Heavy stun?

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  The CMO's ship heads up and straight for the freighter.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Feels the transport take off she continues to wait.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the CNS, then nods:: CNS/TO: If they become immune, set it on Kill.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
CNS/XO: Best make is kill?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#Self:  Two down, about a dozen to go.  ::targets the freighter's shields::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods, sets his phaser and heads down the passage:: XO: Aye.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO:Yes sir!

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  Four ships surround the freighter while the others attack the NightHawk.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Stets phaser to haevy stun::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::As they take off she shifts forward a bit in her seat.  With a quick move she loops the Pilots head in between her arms and pulls back her binds cutting into the pilots neck.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::begins firing at will at the guard ships surrounding the freighter::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::hears the sounds of the slaves working in the distance:: TO: You know the drill... creep closer and take them by surprise.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Sends a projection to both Aaron and Varesh of the shuttle and strangling the pilot...and her climbing on top of him to get to the pilots panel.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS/TO: Let's go.. ::Adjust Jackson on his shoulder::

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  The smaller ships, being more moveable attack the NightHawk from all sides, pounding the shields.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Slowes down::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::brings the NH back around and continues firing, working on taking each ship out one by one::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Looks at the control panel and groans...::  ~~~FCO:  I don't know if you can here me... I don't know how to fly anything more then a shuttle... are you close enough to lock onto me?~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Sees a panel that looks like coordinates and carefully enters new numbers.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::slowly makes his way up the passage, carefully remaining hidden from view::

Host R`t`k`d says:
Scenery:  As the AT reach the level of mines, they can hear the sounds of digging with the occassional sound of a whip and cry punctuating the dimness.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::hears Anita::  ~~~CMO:  I think I can filter out which shuttle you are on.  But right now I need you to hang in there since I am engaged with the Coobla ships and will be unable to transport you onboard.~~~  ::notices the shields have dropped to 82% and continues firing::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks I hope I don t get whipped::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::hears the whip:: TO: That one is mine... I recognize his laugh. ::eyes go dead::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
CNS: Why don t we trade wapons?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
~~~FCO:  I'll try!~~~

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
CNS:I am a better shooter then you.

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  Following his orders, he lands on the freighter where others wait to take the Doctor in hand.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
TO: You can have both for all I care.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Takes both the weapons::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the CNS:: CNS: Counselor?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grabs the phaser:: TO: I was being facetious. ::crawls closer to the sounds of the slaves working, peers around a corner and pulls back::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::fires a spread of torpedoes at the closest ships::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Gallows humor, sir. We're at the end of the level, I spotted the guards at either ends. TO: Take the one on the far side, I'll get the one closer to us.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Comes closer to the whip sounds::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Ah... ::Nods::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Aims right between the eyes::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::he clears a path to the freighter and starts firing upon it::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
XO:Can I fire sir?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: Fire at will.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets into position, takes aim and concentrates hard, depresses the button and shoots the guard::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Fires a shot into the head of the coobla guard::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::enters some evasive maneuvers, brings the ship about and comes back at the freighter still firing::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Moves forward to look if there are no other guards present::

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  Sparks from the flight console are seen to dance along the console before smoke is seen.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::waves at Sid to follow and start making his way towards the ramp leading up.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::continues taking hits from the other ships and sees shields down to 54%::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods and jogs behinds::

Host R`t`k`d says:
ACTION:  The fighter having made it on autopilot, those waiting simply take him and the CMO while another pilot takes his place.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Takes the point once again:: ::Thinks why do I have to walk point::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Is pulled along once more.:: ~~~FCO:  Aaron Nevermind... I'm on one of the frieghters... just destroy it.  You'll never get me off it.~~~

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::after the smoke clears, he looks down at his console to see how much damage was caused::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::stops as he sees someone he recognizes:: XO/TO: Wait. ::looks closer:: Slave: Do you want to be free? Do you want to be free of the fear of becoming food? ::points at the guard:: We can help you do that... but you have to help us.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CMO:  Dr., never is not in my vocabulary.  I promise, I'll have you off that freighter come hell or high water!~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Smiles as Aaron's words come through.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
Slave: If you don t help I wil cook you personely and serve you to the coobla!

Host R`t`k`d says:
Scenery:  Lights flicker on the ship as power is shuttled by OPS.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Hopes he scared the slave so he would help::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Stares at the Ensign::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#*EO Morgan*:  How much time before repairs are made?  I've got four ships left I need to take care of.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::glares at the TO:: TO: If you butt in again, I will cook you for dinner. Is that understood, Ensign?!

Host R`t`k`d says:
<Slave>  ::Looks at the stranger and back with hope slowly entering his eyes.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: Watch point, make sure no one is heading this way.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks why do I always take point???????::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Slave: I know these carts go to the surface... if you wheel us in it, I'll shoot every guard we pass, and they will be yours to do with what you want.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Goes to the point::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Slave: Revenge is sweet my friend, and I know you are hungry for a feast...

Host Slave says:
::At comprehension, he starts to back away in fear, only to find one of his friends standing behind him, gently pushing him forward in encouragement.::  CNS:  We will do it, but ::Holds up the chains binding them.::  We will keep look out for you.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#<EO Morgan>*FCO*:  My team is working on repairs as we speak.  Just go and get those last four....it'll make our job a lot easier.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks If the slave screws up I'il shoot him::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: The guard, does he have the keys?

Host Slave says:
ACTION:  The freighters engines start up.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
Slave: And I will do all I can to make your freedom a reality. ::goes over to the guard and searches him::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#Self:  Great, I'm in a dog fight with the Coobla, the AT is down on the planet fighting for their lives, and this guy wants his job easier!  ::targets the remaining four ships and fires::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Cleans his rifle a bit::

Host Slave says:
::Looks at his friend, hoping this will not be the last time.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Sir... I think it best if you three go in the cart, Ens. Jackson shoot every guard and I will push you up. I look the part. Our new friend can help me.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::sees the freighters engines start up::  Self:  Oh no you don't, you're not going anywhere.  ::targets the freighters engines and fires::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Eyes widen as she passes people the terrorified look on their faces just makes her more angry.   She and they knew their fate...and it maybe one she will share if the Queen does not favour her.  She knew though if she can...she will make3 the coobla pay.  She is put into a room all by herself and she examines it.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Grabs a whip from the stunt guard::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CNS: Hand me your phaser rifle.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grabs the keys from the guard:: SEC: You two get another cart... I'm sure our allies will be happy to get you up to the surface too.

Host Slave says:
ACTION:  The freighter shudders as the 2 remaining Coobla fighters attack the ships for sheilds, aiming for the ships enginees.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Looks at the slave::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::brings the NH into an evasive maneuver, bringing her to the other side of the freighter::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::unlocks the chains on enough to help him get carts to the surface, and hands the key to one of the slaves to free the others.::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Shows him the whip he took::

Host Slave says:
::Looks at the whip and reaches out tentatively for it.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Plops Gary in a cart::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::She sighs at the state of the room:: Self:  The Coobla are anything if not unimaginative...  It's going to be dull being a pet.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO/TO: We have to get moving. Slaves: Its now or never.

Host Slave says:
::His friend takes the key and quickly begins to use it, while those already freed wait for the strangers to get ready::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#::sees a perfect opportunity to hit the freighter's engines and he fires::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::grins at Sid:: XO: I always wanted to start a revolution.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Gets in the cart::

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks O brother::

Host Slave says:
ACTION:  The freighter fires at the NightHawk, just as their engines are struck.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::CHuckles::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::She slumps onto the floor and fights back tears.::

Host Slave says:
Scenery:  Throughout the NightHawk damage reports flood in.  No casualties listed.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
Slave: Start pushing man we don t have all day!

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  How's everyone doing down there?~~~  ::decides the best thing to do is to retreat to let the NH make necessary repairs::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::hands his weapon to Sid and takes position to push the cart up to the surface. Smiles encouragingly at the slave next to him. Glares at the TO again:: ~~~FCO: We're on our way up to the surface. Are you still in a shape to get us?~~~

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
Slave: Remember what I told you?

Host K`t` says:
ACTION:  A timid slave Coobla, head bowed, brings the doctor food and drink.  Then getting onto her knees, waits submissively before the strange softskinned alien.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Remember what I told you?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
TO: Sit down and watch for guards.

Host K`t` says:
<Slave>  ::Nods at the TO::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  I was able to take out the majority of the vessels up here, but unfortunately, unless I retreat to make the necessary repairs to the NH, she will be destroyed.  Relay the info to the Cmdr. that I will be back as soon as I can.~~~

Host K`t` says:
ACTION:  The slaves begin to push the heavy carts up the incline of the mines.  Keeping their heads down.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks If all there slave are as good as this one they don t get much done::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Smiles gently at the slave before her and takes a bit of the food she brought.::  Slave:  What is your name?

Host K`t` says:
Action:  Another group keep an eye out for anyone coming from behind.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: How long will it take?~~~ XO: Sir, Aaron says the ship took heavy damage and they will need to do repairs.

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks These carts arnt verry comfretable::

Host K`t` says:
@::Looks up::  CMO: K`t`.  You are honored.  Can I get you anything?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  I was able to take out the freighter's engines, so they are not going anywhere anytime soon.  That just leaves the freighter and two other guard ships left.  I'll need a couple of hours for the correct repairs.  Fortunately, there were no casualties.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::pushes the carts with the rest of the slaves, easily slipping into the part of a whipped slave::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@::Continues to smile.::  K't': I don't know about honored...but I do need one thing.... a friend?  Can you do that?

Host XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Mumbles:: CNS: Is the Chameleon Damaged if not dispatch it to retrieve us.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ~~~FCO: Aaron, can you send the Chameleon to fetch us?~~~

TO_Ens_Jackson says:
::Thinks if that slave doesn’t push faster the guards will see us::

Host K`t` says:
@CMO:  I do not know.  I am but a humble servant.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes another look at the woman in front of her and blinks... She notices a translator box attached to her chest also.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
#~~~CNS:  Hang in there, I'll see what I can do.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
@K't':  I'd be honored to call you friend.  I'm not more then a servant myself.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Understood. I'll let you know when we're on the surface.~~~
