<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin:  Double Trouble in the Darkest Hour>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION:  As the Capt hits the ground, she hits her head knocking her unconscious.  Her left arm pinned underneath her in an awkward position.

@ACTION:  A faint mist can be seen in the air, a little greyish.  The OPS O begins to feel light headed.  The world around her begins to spin faster and faster till she finally collapses

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::heads back through tunnels he scouted along with part of the TAC team, heading towards the CTO position:: *CTO*: Stuart I'm headed in your direction I've been informed you've found something!
OPS_Miralles says:
::sits at the OPS console trying to get comfortable in the chair but not succeeding very well::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@OPS: Renee! ::taps his badge on hearing Tobius:: CSO: Get down here quick Tobius, Renee's just collapsed!
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Still in main engineering trying to keep the old bucket in operational status.::

ACTION:  When gravity re-asserted itself in engineering, tools go crashing into consoles... some dissipate into the warp core.

OPS_Miralles says:
::keeps an eye out for the away team on the planet:::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
:: Enters the Bridge:: self: what happened here?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::checks Renee’s pulse and breathing:: Self: where is he?
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: I'll be there ASAP!  ::doubles his speed when he hears about Renee, knocking a few of the TAC team out of the way as he runs back through the tunnels::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*CMO*: we got a medical emergency on the bridge!
OPS_Miralles says:
::as the XO enters she notices the Captain on the floor::
Host Arlene says:
<Medic> *XO*:  I'm sorry Sir, the CMO is indisposed.... medical team on the way to the bridge.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*Medic*: fine, just a get a team up here!

ACTION:  No sooner does the XO speak, a medical team enters the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::moves to the captain and checks her pulse::
OPS_Miralles says:
::looks around at the bridge crew and then at the CO hoping she is alright. Then she turns with dismay to the last sensor results::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::Runs past a tunnel intersection and sees Lt. MacAllister on the floor with Renee:: CTO: Stuart, what’s happened!  ::trying to keep the tension out of his voice::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::motions for Tobius to get down:: CSO: Keep yer voice down... there's people working down there. She just collapsed and I haven't been able to get any kind of response from her.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Walks onto the bridge:: XO: Sir, where... err... never mind. ::Rushes over to the captain, kneels down and begins to scan her.::

ACTION:  The CTO gets a tickle in his throat.

XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*Engineering*: This is Commander Exeter, could somebody down there give me a status report on what is going wrong with this ship?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::suppresses a cough and continues:: CSO: you look after Renee, I'm going to take the team and scout the tunnels ahead.

@ACTION:  The cough is persistent.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::gets out his tricorder and sets it for MED operations and scans Lt. Santos, notices the CTO cough:: CTO: Lt. if you don't recall I'm leading this AT
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Looks up at the XO as the scan is completed.:: XO: Sir, I need to take her to sickbay on the double. She seems to have a concussion, some bruised ribs and... ::Looks at the captain, then back up again.:: A broker arm as well sir. Sorry.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::nods to the MO::*OPS*: Open a comm. to the away team and ask them for a status report
OPS_Miralles says:
::listens quietly to the medical report:: Self: well, at least she is alive
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::swallows the cough as he was trained by his brother:: CSO: You got any military training Tobius?
Host Arlene says:
<EO Break it> *XO*:  Hmmmm Sir... Ensign Massimoto is busy at the moment...  All I can say now is, what is not broken.  Loosing gravity has played havoc on our systems.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: Did you notice anything odd before she passed out?  I have Starfleet basic command training, and I will quite happy for you to lead the TAC team but I don't want you passing out as well

ACTION:  Alarm bells sound on the OPS console.

XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: I want repair times on broken systems and I don't want to hear days or times multiplied by four. Otherwise we'll be having a few engineers with broken limbs in sickbay. Fix what is broken and give me the repair times, do I make myself clear?
OPS_Miralles says:
::was about to reply to the XO when she sees her console go off::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::He moves closer to CO:: Computer: Computer, two to beam to sickbay please.
Host Arlene says:
<EO Break it> ::Looks at Massimoto with her eyes wide open.  Being no fool, she will let him answer.::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::nods:: CSO: I saw nothing, one moment she was talking to me, then she got dizzy and passed out. I'll try and keep an open Com link and if you don't hear from me in 15 minutes... panic. ::grins::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: From your coughing I suspect an airborne source of irritation, maybe we should hand out respirators...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: Good plan, you got any on you?
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks at EO Break It and shrugs:: *XO*: Allight... ellll... I think lepails might be done in... 33 houls sil. ::Looks slightly nervous at that reply.::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: I'll try to open the com in a moment but we might have a bigger problem. We are being scanned

@ACTION:  A shuffling sound can be heard from behind the away team... it's still faint but it's coming towards them.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: The TAC team have numerous supplies  ::notices part of the TAC team come up behind him::
OPS_Miralles says:
::has the computer look for the source of the scan and then accesses the com system::*CSO*Tal War to away team
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::nods to the team to break out the respirators::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::raises an eyebrow:: *EO*: you got  17 hours, chief, no more no less!
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: We are being scanned from somewhere on the planet but I can't pinpoint where
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::In a blue shimmer the CO and himself are beamed to sickbay, where immediately begins to treat the wounded captain.:: Self: How someone can do this to herself just being on the ship.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: What are they scanning for?
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::Notices a slight sound as if following behind the last members of the TAC team as they approach::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::walks round to the rear of the AT to have a little listen::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks at EO Break it again with wide eyes and trembling hands.:: *XO*: But... but... sil!!! I... I'll tly my best. Massimoto out.
OPS_Miralles says:
::Taps her console looking for an answer to the XO::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*OPS*: Lt. Wuer here ::whispers:: the COM line isn't very stable, and I am a little occupied I'll get back to you
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: They seem to be concentrating on our databanks. I speculate they are just trying to figure out who we are. It would be nicer if they just asked though
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::takes a seat in the CO's Chair:: self: Wonder how much he would have complained If I gave him 9 hours.
OPS_Miralles says:
*XO*Commander Exeter wants a status report
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::walks after the CTO and pulls out his phaser:: CTO: ::whispers:: Your heard that too then?

@ACTION:  Something shiny reflects off the surface of the cave.  Almost blinding.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@AT: Find cover, someone's coming!
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::has to turn his head and put his hand up to his face a blinding light hits him::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::signals the TAC team to take up ambush positions and helps Tobius get Renee to cover::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@AT: As the Lt. says lets take cover, and prepare for the worse....
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: I am waiting for the away team’s report but it looks like they are busy ... also, our Comms are not very reliable at the moment and I can not get a lock on them
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::helps Stuart with Renee who they place out of harms way behind cover and then takes up position:: CTO: Here we go again...
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: have you tried using one of the runabouts comm. systems?

@ACTION:  Clanging sounds can be heard.  Two beings come into view.  Metallic in nature.  Shiny metallic suits..

OPS_Miralles says:
XO: I haven't, but if the interference is external it won't help much
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::whispers:: AT: hold your fire.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@*OPS*:  If you can here us, we may be in for a fire fight, Comms are erratic, we’ve set up one of the pattern enhancers but can not currently get to it, standby for updates...  ::turns to see what comes round the corner::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: here is the AT report ::puts the CSO on speakers::

@ACTION:  The two beings stop where the AT was originally.  They look around...as if searching.

EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Works hard to get each and every system to operate again.:: Self: Daln it.... And hele I was, only lunning some alignment things on those allays.
OPS_Miralles says:
::accesses the runabout Comms, trying to use them to boost the signal::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: There must be a way to get through to the Away team, I'm just a pilot by trade so the miracle of contacting them lies in your hands, ensign.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he set on his chair in the Sick bay he activates communication to over listen AT on the surface::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Comms are not functioning well but we managed to get a report. As for getting a lock, there is something in those caves interfering
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: I defer to your greater experience here Stuart ::smiles::
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being>  ::Sees something in the distance and walks over to the transporter enhancer.  Picking it up, it crushes it.  It also sees one of the Tac team... Lifting up its left hand it stuns the Tac officer.::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he opens all scans that TW has taken earlier and begins to check all bio-scans from surface for odd bacteria and all other life forms::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@AT: Open fire! ::aims at what looks like it might be a weak spot and fires his phaser rifle at it::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: let me  have a check. ::moves the science to find out that is broken as well:: OPS: remind me to put a new CEO on our next supply list.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::watches as the metal being destroys there easiest escape route, on the CTO's command fires his own phaser rifle::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Will do sir ::smiles .. she never liked him anyway::
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Beings> ::Turn towards the source of the firing... One of the beings talks quickly asking for backup.::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: shouldn't we help the away team? The CSO reports they are in a battle of some sort
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: transporters are off line, there isn't much I can do.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::fires again trying to disable the big metal doohicky::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Notices the CMO in his office and gives the CO a sedative until she wakes up by herself. Leaving the CO to rest, he turns around and walks over to the CMO's office. The door slights open and he steps in.:: CMO: Doc, I regretfully have to say the captain doesn't look too well.
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: well, you’re a pilot ... sir

@ACTION:  The grey mist becomes thicker...many more of the away team start to cough.. another Tac officer collapses.

CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::begins to find the respirator he is wearing rather annoying but continues his attention on firing::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Oh didn’t see you...::Stops for second confused:: Captain what happened?
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: I got a CO in sickbay my senior officers are down there, the ship is a flying wreck. Our first job is getting this ship operational.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@AT: Hit the deck!!!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He moves out of his office to the main SB and automatically takes his Med tricorder and pulls out probe from top of it::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Aye sir ::looks at the status report of repairs::

@ACTION:  The Metal beings stop firing.  One holds out its hands...he speaks to no one in particular.  "Come with us.  You are outnumbered.  Continue to fire and you will die."

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::he begins to scan Captains body and compares analysis for bio bed::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::tries to stay low below the grey mist, and suddenly hears the voice::  AT: Hold you fire!!!
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Steps forward:: CMO: Sorry to intrude like this sir. Apparently the captain fell on the bridge. She has a concussion, some bruised rips and a broken arm. It appears she landed on her arm a little... well... less comfortable. It's broken on several spots sir.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@AT: Cease Fire! ::turns to the metal thingy:: Machine: We have wounded, they need treatment
OPS_Miralles says:
::sits back glancing at the XO wondering what he is really thinking::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Ah that is not good, at all.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::looks across to MacAllister:: CTO: We weren't getting anywhere anyway...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
He firstly scans captains’ head::
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being> ::Looks like it shrugs to the CTO.::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: I know but they started it.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: Then he pulls over a little medical kit try and takes cortical probe::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::Stands up from behind his cover:: Metal Being: I'm the Senior Officer here, please ensure my wounded are seen too and name your conditions
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being>  ::Ignores the statement:;  CSO:  Follow us.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::shrugs:: CSO: Looks like we have no choice.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::moves back to the big chair:: *EO*: You need some help?
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Metal Being: I will come with you ::motions to a couple of the TAC team:: But I need to leave other here to deal with our fallen comrades
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being>  ::Turns and begins walking.  It heads deeper into the caves, towards the mines.::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::His face cheers up slightly as more lights come on as time passes of systems that are operational again.:: *XO*: Sil! You'll be happy to leceive wold that we have been able to lepail a few systems. ::Looks at his fresh tea cup on top of the console, takes it and puts it on the ground.:: So no sil, things ale looking good light now.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::stays put to see what happens::
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being>  ::Without turning around.::  CTO:  Bring them.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: Okay sensors back, transporters, weapons? What's back on?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he finds that she has and slight concussion he exhales a deep breath:: MO: There is no severed blood vessel, which is good.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: Did you see any eyes in the back of their heads? I didn't
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: You have given her a sedative?
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Checks his console.:: *XO*: That would be leplicatols, sonic showels and the mess hall is fully opelational again.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: Looks like were all going  ::helps Stuart up with Renee:: AT: Help the wounded follow us...
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Nods:: CMO: Yes sir. Just a little so she can recover by herself mostly.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: ever heard of priority repairs, god when did you graduate or better yet where!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Good I will dosage her a little more of it just to make sure that cortical probe do the job faster.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::with Renee in hand heads on after the metal monstrosity::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Stutters:: *XO*: I... I... elll... solly sil. Those wele the easiest systems to lepail filst. What would you like lepailed filst now sil?
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
:;swears under his breath:: *EO*: Sensors, Transporters, shields, weapons. 
OPS_Miralles says:
::listens to the argument between the XO and EO, amused::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: In that order and if life support is busted as well, your supposed to fix that first!!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He activates higher frequency on the probe so her brain could be stimulated and pressure that was done by clashing brain on the scull pellicle would be easier::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@:taps his comm. badge, hoping it connects to the ship:: Metal Being: Where are taking us? Are we your prisoners?

@SCENERY:  The clanging gets louder and it becomes warmer.  Machinery can be heard as the mines work at peak capacity.  A couple of trolleys of ore pass by them.  The clanging echoes off the walls indicating perhaps a large cavern below them.

CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::follows along::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He than moves toward her lungs and bruised rib::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Bows even though he knows the XO can't see it.:: *XO*: In that oldel, yes sil. I'll do my best sil. Anything else sil?
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He activates a Medical panel over her bode so he could do better job::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
<MO_Sharp> ::Stays with the captain and the CMO all the time, checking at the wonders the CMO is performing.::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: The names of the people  who trained you
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: As a panel rises over her he activates screen of medical sensors and begins to search for concussed rib::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Sir, there is something from the planet but its fuzzy. I think the CSO accidentally or purposefully activated his com but it’s blurry
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: let me hear it.
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Its something about prisoners but ... ::puts the com on speakers::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::turns to look at the rest of the AT team following and wonders if the Tal could hear anything on the comm.:: Metal Being: Hey are you listening are held captive, are we prisoners, were are you taking us too?
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks confused:: *XO*: Solly sil? Why would you need that? I was tlained plopelly, tlust me on that sil.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
*EO*: I doubt it, get to work, Exeter out.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He finds that a 4 rib has take a quite of beating he enlarges that segment of it::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Could they be ... prisoners? Of whom I see no other life signs
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Being> ::Turns and looks at the CSO and nods.::
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Gets slightly annoyed with the XO's orders and turns to face EO Break it.:: EO: Hmmm, what evel happened to oul captain? She was nicel than this fellow. ::Returns to his work at hand.::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::makes a mental note of the directions they are travelling in::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: could be the Borg.
Host Arlene says:
<EO Break it> EO:  No idea Sir...they never let me out of here nor do they tell me anything.  Hmmm want a sandwich or something?  I think it's our break time.  Union rules you know.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@Metal Being: Are these mines down here, this ore we found it on the surface you appear to be mining it but for what Purpose!
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::There he sees a little piece of broken bone structure and begins a series of stimulation on her bone structure as he takes an hypo and gives her a slight dosage of minerals especially a calcium directly to her blood stream::
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: I don't see any of their readings either ... but those caves are messing up our not so healthy sensors
Host Arlene says:
@<Metal Beings> CSO:  All maybe revealed later...just follow us.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: If they wanted to kill us they'd have done it by now.
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He awaits for few minutes to for her body to take a way of transmission on needed material for healing as he continues with check on her arm::

@ACTION:  They reach the mouth of the large cavern... the bottom must be at least 40 stories down.

EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::Looks at his console for a moment, then back at the EO:: EO: Sule, let's take five. I've been wolking on this too long anyway. ::He bends down, picks up his tea cup and moves over to a bench, gesturing the EO to follow him.::
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: well, we better wait till that Idiot in engineering fixes everything and our CO gets back.
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: Very true... no wondered we could get any sensor readings there mining tons of this stuff and it’s sending our scanner AWOL, I get hardly anything on my tricorder
Host Arlene says:
<EO Break It>  EO:  You be the boss.  I think I'm going for hot turkey today.  I’m really in a turkey mood.
OPS_Miralles says:
XO: Our away team could be dead by then ... sir
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::looks down then back to the AT:: CSO: I hope you don't have a problem with heights.
XO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
OPS: there prisoners so lets assume the best instead of the worse
OPS_Miralles says:
::nods curtly and continues listening::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@::looks down the 40 story drop and notes all the mining equipment a various levels:: CTO: And I never brought my abseiling gear...
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: There he finds that her arm has 3 broken places:: To him self: It was a very nasty landing.
::He looks at her:: CO: I don't know how good ware you as a pilot but if you land shuttles like your self I better write a last will.
EO_Ens_Massimoto says:
::nods:: EO: Bling me some too... sound pletty good to me too. ::sips from his tea.::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: I wonder where we go from here...
Host Arlene says:
@<EO Break it> ::Heads for the replicator.::
CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He begins with treatment of her arm by lightly placing bones on they right spots::
CSO_Lt_Wuer says:
@CTO: I guess we follow the big robot....
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@CSO: And where's he going?
