Host Regin says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Triton Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Regin says:
ACTION: The troop of androids raise their weapons, as if to fire at the AT

CIV_Knote says:
::Does some calculations on lowest possible orbit::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CTO:  Let's go..!  ::Gets the Selay up onto his shoulder as best as possible, and starts to run::

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Sir? ::waiting for an order::

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*  What is the status of the polaron sensor?

CTO_Hayes says:
@::follows the AXO keeping her phaser ready and close::

Host Regin says:
ACTION: The androids fire, and hit one of the security officers

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* The sensor is online and fully functional.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: I can drop us down to within 50 KM of where the probes disappeared in the atmosphere.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Make it so then

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Hears someone get hit as they duck out of the street::  CTO:  Look for a safe place to set this guy down...  ::Barely carrying Redh'd's weight 
any longer::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Aye sir. ::Changes Triton's orbital altitude::

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: We need to find a way to contact the ship. ::motions to the other redshirts to take care of the injured::

EO_Porter says:
::Continues working on the sensors, trying to get them to penetrate the field.::

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: There is a mountain there... maybe we could find a cave ::points::

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*Can you get a fix on the source of the dampening field

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* Not yet, but we are getting minimal readings from beneath the field. I'll try to isolate the power source for the field.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Altitude now 350 KM; holding over last known position of the colony.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: As the other security officers run to help their fallen comrade, one of them gets shot

CTO_Hayes says:
    @All: Let's go! Everybody move! ::sees the still alive SECs take care of the wounded... at this rate not a lot will be left to talk about it.::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Nods::  CTO:  Yes...all right.  Somewhere away from the city.  ::Sets the Selay down a moment, to catch his breath::  We've got to get our 
officers out of there...

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  It seems the closer we get, the better our vision

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Good... was hoping it would.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Can you take us in a little closer without hitting the field?

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* I'm getting faint readings of buildings. The colony must still be under there, but I can't tell in what condition.

CIV_Knote says:
::Cocks head and sighs:: OPS: Can certainly try.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: As the AT moves away, the Androids continue toward the center of the city, stepping on and crushing the fallen guards as they go

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO* We are going to attempt to get closer, give us full power to the shields

CIV_Knote says:
::Shifts to station holding thrusters and drops another 25KM::

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* Transferring power to shields now.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Now 25 KM above the field... at least I think its 25 KM.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Thank you Mr. Knote

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CTO:  We can't help them now.  Keep moving.  ::Winces, partially from the weight of the Selay, and partially from the security as they're left 
behind...::

EO_Porter says:
::transfers power from auxiliary systems to the shields, and returns to trying to boost sensor efficiency::

CTO_Hayes says:
@::runs:: AXO: Sir... those androids... they seem on a mission... I wonder if we could control them... ::keeps running::

CIV_Knote says:
::nods in response to OPS and concentrates on flying::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Anything from those probes?

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO* we are as close as we are going to get, can the scans turn up anything?

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Slows::  CTO:  If I felt we had enough power to the tricorders, I'd give it a shot.  Maybe we should see where they're headed...

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  the last probe was lost up impact to the field

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* I'm reading multiple power sources, jumbled life signs, buildings, and lots of interference.

CMO_Thornne says:
@::Catches up with her group..... silent but a little behind::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Thought since we're lower we might some readings from them.

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO* can you find the source of the dampening field?

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Indeed sir... the mountain is not that far...

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* But there does seem to be one large power source. It might be powering the field generator, but I can't tell for certain. I'm sending you the coordinates now.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  We can always give it a try I suppose

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*  Acknowledged

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO:  Scan back to the city...if the tricorder can reach that far.  See if the security are still alive...

OPS_Miaek says:
::receives the coords::

CMO_Thornne says:
@AXO: I thought our tricorders were down......

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Send the probe to these coords and keep it with 5km of the dampening field  ::transfers coords to the CIV terminal::

CIV_Knote says:
::Sets the coordinates for probe and launches::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Continues scanning please Mr. Knote

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO/AXO: Tricorders have not a lot of power left... but our goal should be to get to safety

Host Regin says:
ACTION: Screams are heard around the corner as a small group of colonists is gunned down by the androids

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Transferring Science commands to my console.

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: I'd much prefer safety be defined by the parameters of the Triton at this point.....

CIV_Knote says:
::Tries to get data link from probe::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Grits his teeth, lowering the Selay's feet to the ground to take off a bit of the weight::  CMO:  Yes, well, we still haven't heard from them yet.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Acknowledged

CMO_Thornne says:
@AXO: Too bad..... ::frowns while pulling out her tricorder::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Probe holding at 5KM above the field.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Can you determine that power source?

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: Is there anyway we can combine the powers of both our tricorders to get a more accurate, long-range reach of these little guys?

CTO_Hayes says:
@::Keeps running toward the mountain, trying to find shelter::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@AT:  But we can't stay up here to save ourselves.  Everyone hold here a moment.  ::Lays Redh'd down on the ground::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: If I'm reading this correctly it's coming from where the ruins are suppose to be.

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: Probably... but our goal should be safety first than scanning.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Is it the source of the dampening field?

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: Just brainstorming ideas, Ensign.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Getting very faint readings on some buildings and major terrain features.

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: Of course, Cmdr... sorry.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: It has a major energy reading... for what I'm not sure.

EO_Porter says:
::tries to isolate the modulation pattern of the field frequency::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Any ideas?

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@AT:  All right...we need to head back down to the colony.  It seems those androids were moving in some sort of a pattern...maybe a patrol 
route.  If we can learn the route, we may be able to stay out of their way.

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Whatever you decide something must be done fast. And the safety of the AT is important.

CIV_Knote says:
::Puffs cheeks and exhales:: OPS: A shuttle?

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*  We need to disengage that dampening field, any ideas on how?

CMO_Thornne says:
@AT: Do they appear capable of adapting to our motion?

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Not with that dampening field still up

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: What about a shot at that energy source?

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO:  Not yet.  They were moving in the same direction he ::motions to the Selay:: told us to go, though.  I'd say that's where we need to 
focus our attention.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  It could contain civilians.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Narrow beam.

EO_Porter says:
*OPS*  Dampening fields are designed to suck up all power emissions and stop power flow. Maybe we can overload the generator by feeding it more power then it 
can handle.

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@AT:  Unfortunately, with our phasers nearly drained, we can't do anything to a group of androids.  But we can't let the civilians down there be 
killed by them either.  Suggestions?

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: We should be able to narrow the phaser beam to a 40 cm diameter.

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*  Make it so quickly, we've already allowed to much time to pass for our away team.

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: We need to take care of our two SECs, then do something about what is going on here... we need weapons or a fantastic plan that doesn't need them.

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* Ok. I'll rig up a photon torpedo with anti-matter. We can rig it to detonate inside the field, and hopefully the excess energy can overload the generator.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Set the phaser a minimal settings, basically just a light show, maybe the AT, can see it and go there

CMO_Thornne says:
@AT: We could play a little baseball with the androids.... ::grins, looking up at the trees::

CIV_Knote says:
::turns to look at OPS and shrugs, slaving the Tactical to helm console as well::

EO_Porter says:
::heads to the main torpedo bays::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Firing.

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO:  Oh?  ::Raises an eyebrow::

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO*  Very good

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: Baseball?

CMO_Thornne says:
@AXO: If new technology weapons don't work, we could use branches & rocks....

CIV_Knote says:
::Sees the surprised look on the TO's face as his console goes inactive::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Keep firing till it punches through.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Aye, will creep up the power slowly.

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: Against Androids?

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO:  That's only a distraction at best...  ::Ponders a plan::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: The field is flickering.

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: Knock one out.... rewire it to get the rest..... ::shrugs::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: good, keep firing

CMO_Thornne says:
@AXO: Who said we needed to be heroes and take them all out.... all we need is a distraction to get to the colony

CIV_Knote says:
::Steps up the power to phasers::

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: You need to be pretty powerful to knock out an android with a wooden stick!

OPS_Miaek says:
*EO* Forget the torpedo, the phaser is working, give us full power to the phaser array

CIV_Knote says:
::Sees the field begin to glow around the point where phaser is firing::

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: Then add a rock to the mix.....

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* All right.  ::reroutes power to the phasers::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Fire wide beam at full power

CTO_Hayes says:
@CMO: You don't have a little mixture in your Med things that could enhance our strength?

CIV_Knote says:
::Flips the console screen through all the systems he's monitoring::

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: Adrenaline.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Aye, wide beam. ::Adjusts the phaser beam::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Any luck yet?

CIV_Knote says:
::Hand hovers over phaser controls to shut off as soon as field drops::

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Orders sir?

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Making pretty designs down there.

EO_Porter says:
::enters the bridge and takes ENG1::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Field is down.. ::Shuts off phasers::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO/CTO:  We wait out the Triton.  I'm not going anywhere without a guaranteed plan.  And it's pretty obvious we don't have one.

OPS_Miaek says:
::looks back at the EO::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Scanning for AT.

OPS_Miaek says:
EO: Start scanning for the AT and any colonist

Host Regin says:
ACTION: For a moment after the field falls, the AT hears the whine of phaser fire burning the air about 2 km from them

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Aye sir.

EO_Porter says:
::scans the general area of the colony::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Try to hail the away team

CMO_Thornne says:
@AT: Well, in that case, anyone in need of medical assistance?

CIV_Knote says:
ALL: What the....?

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  What's wrong?

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: There are androids down there.

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Stands very still, listening.  Waves off the CMO::  AT:  Did anyone else hear that?

CIV_Knote says:
COMM: AT: Away Team, respond.

EO_Porter says:
OPS: Picking up multiple life signs as well as multiple energy discharges, almost like phaser fire, but not quite.

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Quickly taps at his commbadge::  *CIV*  This is Weaver.  Do you read?

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: I did sir... phaser fire burning the air...

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Can you get a lock?

OPS_Miaek says:
::taps the controls::

CIV_Knote says:
COMM:  CSO:  I read you Weaver.

OPS_Miaek says:
EO: Transport all civilians to cargo bay 2

EO_Porter says:
OPS : Energizing transporters.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  Have the AT run a distraction while we beam out the colonist

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@*CIV*  If you can get a lock, we've got two men down, near the colony.

CIV_Knote says:
COMM: CSO: Beaming colonists now... need a distraction.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: We could shoot in front of the androids.

CTO_Hayes says:
@AXO: Sir, I suggest the CMO's plan now... we need distraction while the beaming is done, so why not have fun at the same time?

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@*CIV*  Understood.  We're moving now.  ::Nods to the CTO::  CTO/CMO:  Let's go.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  That's too big of a chance of hitting civilians

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks at the young TO and nods at him as Tac is transferred back::

CTO_Hayes says:
@::follows the AXO::

CMO_Thornne says:
@CTO: True... and the transporters will be too busy anyhow to get anything down to us.

OPS_Miaek says:
EO:  how many do you have?

CMO_Thornne says:
@AXO: Uh sir... phasers or bats?

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Shouldn't be a problem targeting non humanoids.

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods again at the TO::

EO_Porter says:
OPS: We currently have 2000, we need more time to get everyone.

CTO_Hayes says:
@AT: Phasers would be more efficient but less fun.

CIV_Knote says:
<TO>OPS: I can differentiate between the colonists and the androids.

EO_Porter says:
OPS: I'm concentrating on those near the androids first, and I'll beam the others later.

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@CMO:  I'm going with my phaser...  *CIV*  Evacuate from the center of the city outward.  Get as many colonists away from the androids 
location as you can.  ::Nears the city::

OPS_Miaek says:
EO:  time is something we are lacking

CMO_Thornne says:
@::Picks up two long thick branches... tosses one to CTO:: CTO: Catch! ::smiles::

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: make it so the Mr. Knote

CTO_Hayes says:
@::catches and throws it before taking her phaser properly and follows the AXO::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Emergency Transports working over time... Got 3000 so far.

CIV_Knote says:
<TO> ::Begins firing phasers in front of androids::

Host AXO_Weaver says:
@::Shakes his head, rolling his eyes...::  ::Pulls out his type II phaser and sets it to 8, then looks around the corner of a building toward the 
center of the city::

CIV_Knote says:
<TO> OPS: Firing in front of androids... slowing them down a bit.

OPS_Miaek says:
::taps the controls::  EO:  Can we configure a pulse torpedo to disable the androids?

EO_Porter says:
OPS: hmm... Yes, if we can get it to emit a burst of energy it could overload their neural circuits. I'm on it. ::sets transporters on automatic and begins working on 
torpedo::

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Got all the colonists.

EO_Porter says:
*OPS* I've modified a torpedo for a maximum release of energy, but in a dispersed fashion. It will fry most equipment and machines, but it shouldn't cause more than a sunburn on people, with no damage to buildings.

OPS_Miaek says:
EO:  Fire when ready

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Lock on the AT?

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: Yes

CIV_Knote says:
<TO> ::Continues to fire in front of androids.::

EO_Porter says:
::targets the center of the android groups and lets fly the torpedo::

CIV_Knote says:
COMM: AT: Beaming up now.

CIV_Knote says:
::Commences AT beamup::

Host Regin says:
ACTION: The torpedo explodes, and all equipment, including the androids cease to function

CIV_Knote says:
<TO> ::stops phaser fire::

CMO_Thornne says:
::feels the transporter tingle::  All: Oh never thought I'd be so happy to feel the transporter...

Host AXO_Weaver says:
::Suddenly finds himself in the transporter room::  <Riley>  ::Jumps back, because the CSO has his phaser pointed right at him::

CIV_Knote says
*CSO*  Your team all aboard? :: Looks over at OPS::
