U.S.S. Vesuvius – January 18, 2000

Host Kris says:
When last we left the fearless crew of the USS Vesuvius, they were participating in a training exercise on the Federation training facility at planet Benning.  Split into two teams, they are attempting the takeover of a Federation outpost from an...

Host Kris says:
enemy of undetermined strength.  Kelson has discovered a metallic hatch in the ground several hundred meters away from the installation and has just opened it.....

Host Kris says:
<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Kris says:
ACTION: THE HATCH'S GRATING METALLIC NOISE IS LOUD.

CTO-Crazi says:
@::continues his trek toward the bunker::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Silently follows Crazi::

O_Trelan says:
:: continues scanning as they walk ::

TO_Kelson says:
::pulls back as soon as hatch is open::

MEDXenobia says:
@::continues checking tricorder for lifesigns::

XOBishop says:
$::has a fleeting thought wondering if the TO has his affairs in order but quickly shrugs it off::

CSOLorenzo says:
::just beamed down, with phaser, and supply pack, to the @ teams position::

TO_Kelson says:
$::scans the inside of hatch::

CSOLorenzo says:
@ team: Hello guys[ in a whisper]

CMOTigs says:
@points to the bunker bringing up the rear::

XOBishop says:
$Beta Team: Doole, Xenobia, keep your distance until Kelson has opened the hatch and disabled any security measures

MEDXenobia says:
$XO:so far so good...the sound didn't attract anyone

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Nods to Lorenzo::

TO_Kelson says:
XO: Scans show a corridor leading in the direction of the bunker.

CTO-Crazi says:
@::watches for rustling in the bushes::

CSOLorenzo says:
::takes position behind Crazi, holding phaser and tricorder::

CMOTigs says:
@:: signals for CSO to take the right flank::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Caution is advisable in my opinion

CSOLorenzo says:
::nods at Tigs, and takes position::

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: shall I investigate?

CSOLorenzo says:
@::scans area with tricorder::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::slows down slightly when they near the bunker, waits for the CMO issue orders::

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: ::points toward the hatch with his phaser:: Lead the way ensign

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: Yes, sir.

CMOTigs says:
@CTO;  Any sign of any hostiles, CSO watch for underground installations::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::begins to map out the area::

TO_Kelson says:
$::heads into the hatch and begins down the corridor::

FCO_Doole says:
$TO: Be careful

CMOTigs says:
@CTO:go right next person left disperse along the rim::

SO_Trelan says:
@ CSO: Sir, heavy shielding on the inside. I can't read anything.

CSOLorenzo says:
@::again nods to Tigs, and begins underground scans::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CMO: approximately 5 hostiles spotted currently

TO_Kelson says:
::puts on night vision gear::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::ducks quickly::

MEDXenobia says:
$::continues to check tricorder for lifesigns::

SO_Trelan says:
@ :: ducks as close to the ground as possible ::

XOBishop says:
$Beta Team:Alright Doole and Xenobia, down the hatch, I’ll come in last and close up behind us

CMOTigs says:
@CTO :: and signs of movement and how many?;;

TO_Kelson says:
$::scans the area ahead::

FCO_Doole says:
::climbs down the hatch::

MEDXenobia says:
$Bishop:Yes sir  ::heads into the hatch::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::runs scans on the Jem'Hadar soldiers::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Readies phaser::

SO_Trelan says:
:: silently draws phaser ::

SO_Trelan says:
<@>

MEDXenobia says:
$::at the bottom of the ladder::

CMOTigs says:
@ALL:: arm weapons to stun, ::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CMO: Five Jem'Hadar ahead ma'am!

MEDXenobia says:
$::still scanning area inside the hatch/tunnel::

XOBishop says:
$::lowers himslef into the hatch closing the rusty hatch once he's down::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: sets phaser settings ::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Sets weapon to stun::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::checks phaser::

TO_Kelson says:
$::Moves cautiously down corridor::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::has phaser poised and readied to fire at the soldiers, gets low::

FCO_Doole says:
::draws phaser::

CNS_Jalara says:
@CMO:  I don't think we should fire until we know their intentions.

CMOTigs says:
@ALL:: We have 5 hostiles, hold fire until we know their intentions::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::makes a hand motion for the rest of the team to lower so they aren't spotted::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Drops to the ground::

SO_Trelan says:
@ :: gets closer to the ground ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: THE APPROACHING JEM'HADAR PATROL WALKS BY TIGS' TEAM AND APPROACHES THE BUNKER.

XOBishop says:
$Kelson:any readings on what’s ahead?

TO_Kelson says:
$XO:  no other lifesigns than ours.

CTO-Crazi says:
@::keeps quiet::

SO_Trelan says:
@ self: :: wiping brow :: That was close !

MEDXenobia says:
$XO:confirmed sir

TO_Kelson says:
$:XO: we are moving closer to the bunker.

CMOTigs says:
@::watches as the Jem'Hadar go by motions for the team stay low::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::watches the Jem'Hadar:: CMO: orders ma'am?

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: I'm not sensing anyone here but us, however we still need to be careful

MEDXenobia says:
$Beta Team:the air is rather stale in here

TO_Kelson says:
$XO::stops::Reading an energy source ahead, sir.

XOBishop says:
$Xenobia: can you tell when this corridor was last used?

CMOTigs says:
@ALL:: Move in behind them slowly lets see where they are going::

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: possible source?

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Slowly rises to a crouch and follows one of the Jem'Hadar::

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: could be a force field of some sort.

CTO-Crazi says:
@::begins to walk again, stays behind the trees, tries to avoid branches and twigs::

SO_Trelan says:
@ :: follows the soldiers ::

MEDXenobia says:
$Bishop:no sir, hard to say...the air is still breathable...perhaps this was last used two, maybe three weeks ago

Host Kris says:
ACTION: THE LAST JEM'HADAR SOLDIER IN THE PROCESSION SLOWS AND TURNS AROUND AS IF HE HEARS SOMETHING.

CMOTigs says:
@CSO:: what do you see below ground::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Freezes in place::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::motions to get down::

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: I'll look for a panel.

CSOLorenzo says:
@::still crouching low, advances her position::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: spins behind tree ::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::ducks low again::

CMOTigs says:
@:: stands tall knows she cannot hide::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::aims the phaser in the middle of the Jem'Hadar's eyes, ready to fire::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: takes aim ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: THE JEM'HADAR SOLDIER SHAKES HIS HEAD AND HURRIES TO CATCH UP TO THE REST OF HIS GROUP.

CTO-Crazi says:
@::stays put for a minute::

TO_Kelson says:
$::scanning the energy source::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Resumes following the soldier::

SO_Trelan says:
:: doesn't move, doesn't lower phaser ::

CMOTigs says:
@:: moves  in behind her team covering them as the advance::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::resumes pace, after making sure the Jem'Hadar was out of ear shot::

XOBishop says:
$Doole: I want you to keep your scans localized on the floor, I'd prefer not to end up in a involuntary descent

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: we seem to be located directly beneath the bunker, sir.

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: The energy source is large and steady, not pulsing.

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CMO*a large steady energy source beneath the bunker

SO_Trelan says:
:: crawls through the bushes watching the advancing soldiers ::

CMOTigs says:
@*CSO* :: keep scanning we need to find a way in and out of this place::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CMO: I suggest keeping COMM to a minimum, the hostiles might hear it, or intercept it!

CNS_Jalara says:
@CMO:  I agree with Crazi.

CMOTigs says:
@ALL :: ok do it::

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: Now what?

CSOLorenzo says:
@::scans the bunker, looking for doors::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: checks tricorder ::

MEDXenobia says:
$XO: the air is thinner here, let me administer a hypo to assist with breathing

CTO-Crazi says:
@::watches for any surprises::

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CMO*I scanned only one way into the bunker, and that’s the way the Jem’Hadar are going

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: If the energy is not pulsating, could it be a natural phenomenon?

XOBishop says:
$Xenobia: go to it

MEDXenobia says:
$::pulls out hypo and administers to the Beta team::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: TIGS FALLS OVER A TREE ROOT AND FALLS FLAT ON HER FACE.

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: though I wouldn't mind that way, it would probably be fairly bloody!

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: it wouldn't be that localized

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Hurries over to check on Tigs::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CMO: are you ok?!

SO_Trelan says:
@:: turns toward Tigs :: CMO: Are you alright?

TO_Kelson says:
$::goes back to scanning::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::continues to scan the bunker::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: you treat her, I'll cover!

CMOTigs says:
@*ALL*:: me leg is broken I heard is snap, holds her leg in pain::

SO_Trelan says:
@ :: gets into the CMO's Bag and grabs a hypo ::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Reaches out her mind to CMO::  CMO:  Relax.......

CMOTigs says:
@:: loses consciousness::

CTO-Crazi says:
*XO*: CMO hurt herself, we are going to have to beam her to the Vesuvius!

SO_Trelan says:
@:: presses it into her neck ::

CSOLorenzo says:
@::turns to CMO, to asses her condition::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::watches for any Jem'Hadar who may have heard the commotion::

XOBishop says:
$Crazi:understood, you have command of beta team, have the medical staff contact me as to the extent of her injuries when she arrives onboard

CSOLorenzo says:
@::nods to SO::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Stands and walks over to Crazi::  CTO:  Orders?

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: that leaves only 2 above ground.

XOBishop says:
$::nods::

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: should we send reinforcements?

CTO-Crazi says:
*XO*: aye sir

MEDXenobia says:
$::hopes Tigs will be alright::

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: no we proceed, we have the best chance of success now

SO_Trelan says:
@:: touches commbadge :: COM: Vesuvius: Emergency Transport! Lock onto CMO Ravenprowler's comm signal and transport her to sickbay.

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CTO* there are too many officers to take on unless we use something to put them to sleep?

MEDXenobia says:
$::checks tricorder, still no lifesigns...nothing::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: TIGS IS BEAMED TO SICKBAY ABOARD THE USS VESUVIUS.

CTO-Crazi says:
@SO: take the med. supplies, you'll be our make shift doctor

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: sorry, sir.  scanners malfunctioning...

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: Aye, sir. :: grabs medkit ::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: the main entrance with all of them is out of the question, too risky, we are not Ferengi, I need other options!

MEDXenobia says:
$XO:my tricorder isn't reading anything but our lifesigns

Host Kris says:
ACTION: BISHOP'S TEAM FALLS THROUGH A TRAP DOOR IN THE FLOOR OF THE CORRIDOR.  THE DOOR FLAPS SHUT AFTER THEY FALL.

SO_Trelan says:
@:: runs a scan to assist the CSO ::

XOBishop says:
$feels a rush of air and he is vertically misplaced::

MEDXenobia says:
$::feels the floor under give way::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Stands watch while her team scans::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: whispering :: CSO/CTO: There is just the one entrance, sirs.

CTO-Crazi says:
@SO/CSO: options, a way to knock them out, or, if necessary, to take them all out at once

CSOLorenzo says:
@*SO*configure a grenade with atrazine gas

TO_Kelson says:
$::falls to a lower level::

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: I told you we had to be careful. ::closes eyes, concentrating, trying to sense out the area::

XOBishop says:
$Doole:Where are we?

MEDXenobia says:
$::lands lightly::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: configures a grenade as ordered ::

MEDXenobia says:
$::scans beta team, everyone appears okay...no injuries::

SO_Trelan says:
@CSO: Here you go.

CTO-Crazi says:
@SO: make sure it will go off after a few seconds, the Jem'Hadar will hopefully all rush to it and we can get them all with one try!

TO_Kelson says:
$::sweeps area for signs of enemy::

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: All I know is we are four feet directly below the corridor that we were in.

XOBishop says:
$FCO:and I told you to mind the floor, but given that we're here now we should focus on getting out, anyone see a passageway ?

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CTO*disagree Sir

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: Aye, sir.

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CTO* do you want them to have a chance to throw it back?

CTO-Crazi says:
@::looks suspiciously at the CSO::  CSO: would you prefer a blood fest?!

MEDXenobia says:
$XO:  I'm not reading anything other than our lifesigns

CNS_Jalara says:
@CTO:  If they rush out at us, they will more than likely be ready for a fight.

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: no way other than up.

CNS_Jalara says:
@CTO:  And we are greatly outnumbered.

SO_Trelan says:
@:: waits for the controversy to conclude ::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: I didn't mean 20 seconds, I meant 2 or 3, I don't want it going off in my hands!

CSOLorenzo says:
@*CTO* I suggest minimal wait on the exploding time

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: that's what I meant, sorry if I didn't phrase it too clearly, is it ready?

CSOLorenzo says:
@thinks to herself::yeah well that was a given::

XOBishop says:
$::removes his machete from its pouch and moves over to the hatch and tires to find the seam::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: ALL THE JEM'HADAR SOLDIERS OUTSIDE THE BUNKER SEEM TO FLICKER FOR AN INSTANT.

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: Yes, sir. Here.

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: need a boost?

CTO-Crazi says:
@::notices the flicker, frowns::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: watches the soldiers phase out, then back in ::

CSOLorenzo says:
@TEAM:something must be wrong with the training

CNS_Jalara says:
@CTO:  Sir, I am unable to sense the Jem'Hadar's thoughts.

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: The Jem'Hadar soldiers outside the bunker just flickered for a moment

CTO-Crazi says:
@Team: it could be part of the training, do not be distracted

CNS_Jalara says:
@CTO:  And they don't show up on tricorder scans.  How sure are we that they are real?

CSOLorenzo says:
@team:its a training, I’m sure they aren’t real

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: alright

CNS_Jalara says:
@CSO:  I meant...what if they ignore us.

TO_Kelson says:
$::lifts the XO onto his shoulders::

CNS_Jalara says:
@Team:  Earlier they walked right past us, what if we are able to walk past them.

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: I'm not sensing the thoughts of the Jem'Hadar

CSOLorenzo says:
@CTO:the grenade...::hands it over to CTO::

MEDXenobia says:
$::takes out light from pack::  XO:does that help?

SO_Trelan says:
@ CNS: They could be holographic projections.

CNS_Jalara says:
@SO:  Exactly.

XOBishop says:
$Doole: Understood

CTO-Crazi says:
@::examines the grenade::

CNS_Jalara says:
@Team:  I propose one of us simply walks into the base.  I volunteer.

XOBishop says:
$::finds the seam and tries to insert the knife into it::

CSOLorenzo says:
@CTO:the grenade wont work if the training calls for holograms

SO_Trelan says:
@:: looks at the CNS ::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CSO: yes CSO ::tries to think of another idea::

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: Nice machete.  Where'd you find it?

CSOLorenzo says:
@::stares at the CNS, strangely::

CTO-Crazi says:
@CNS: No, out of the question, but what about......

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: Suggestion. Find the emitters.

XOBishop says:
$Kelson: Bolian flea market ::has some success from the prying::

TO_Kelson says:
$::spreads feet to gain better base::

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: They are probably in the trees or on the wall of the post.

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: Being a full Betazoid, I can sense the thoughts of every living creature that I tune into. However, since that I cannot sense the thoughts of the Jem'Hadar, and we are on a training mission, it is possible that the Jem'Hadar are only holograms.

TO_Kelson says:
$XO: Great bargains with Bolivians.  Much better than Ferengi...

MEDXenobia says:
$::looks at tricorder, nothing but Beta team's lifesigns::

XOBishop says:
$Doole: that is very likely

CSOLorenzo says:
@::scans area for holo emitters::

CTO-Crazi says:
*XO*: any progress sir?

XOBishop says:
$Beta Team: Someone hand me a rock or something to keep this thing wedged open

MEDXenobia says:
$::finds rock and hands it up to the XO::

CTO-Crazi says:
@SO: they would most likely be contained inside or underground, I'm checking with the XO

XOBishop says:
$Crazi: momentarily delayed but soon will be back on course, what is your situation?

TO_Kelson says:
$::pushes XO through the trap door::

SO_Trelan says:
@CTO: Yes, sir.

CSOLorenzo says:
@::continues scans::

XOBishop says:
$::takes the rock and jams it so the door stays open and climbs through::

CTO-Crazi says:
*XO*: we are assuming these Jem'Hadar up here are holograms, they have been "flickering", perhaps the cause of a faulty holo-generator

TO_Kelson says:
$Xen: You

Host Kris says:
ACTION: THE XO'S UNIFORM CATCHES BRIEFLY ON THE TRAP DOOR AS HE CLIMBS UP AND THE SEAT OF HIS UNIFORM TROUSERS TEAR A BIT.

SO_Trelan says:
@CSO: If they are INSIDE the base, we can't read them. The shielding is too heavy.

FCO_Doole says:
$XO: It is therefore my surmise, that if the Jem’Hadar are holograms, then there are hologram emitters around, probably tied into a generator of some kind. Therefore, if we  find this generator and take it out, we in turn, take out the emitters.

TO_Kelson says:
$Xen: You're next, doc.

XOBishop says:
$Crazi:that's likely, I'll be sure to inform the training staff

MEDXenobia says:
$::Climbs up and out::

TO_Kelson says:
$::lifts Xenobia up and out::

XOBishop says:
$::feels a slight breeze::

FCO_Doole says:
$TO: Up and out you go.

TO_Kelson says:
$Doole:  Your

CTO-Crazi says:
@Team: we're going to sit tight and hold this position, until the XO reports back!

TO_Kelson says:
$Doole:  Your the injured one.  Your before me.

TO_Kelson says:
$::lifts Doole up and out::

XOBishop says:
$::in one swift motion bishop produces a instant patch kit and repairs the tear without losing any dignity::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Takes a seat on a nearby fallen tree::

MEDXenobia says:
$::grabs hold of Doole and helps him out of the pit::

Host Kris says:
ACTION:  SEVERAL EXPLOSIVE CHARGES FIRE AND A WIDE NETTING SWOOPS UP FROM THE JUNGLE FLOOR AND ENGULFS THE ALPHA TEAM.

FCO_Doole says:
$::reaches down, grabs Kelson's wrist and lifts him out::

SO_Trelan says:
@:: struggles in the net ::

Host Kris says:
ACTION: SEVERAL METAL DOORS CLANG SHUT AND TRAP THE BETA TEAM IN THE CORRIDOR.  ANOTHER DOOR OPENS ABOVE THEM AND THEY RISE ON A PLATFORM TO THE SURFACE.

CSOLorenzo says:
@::grunts::

CNS_Jalara says:
@::Screams and falls to the ground::

MEDXenobia says:
$Doole:how's that wrist?

TO_Kelson says:
$Doole: Thanks.

XOBishop says:
$::looks around as the rise to the surface::

Host Training_Tech says:
Alright, alright......end scenario!      End scenario!

FCO_Doole says:
$MED: just ducky.

Host Training_Tech says:
Good grief.

CTO-Crazi says:
@uses his knife and begins to cut::

Host Training_Tech says:
::hands on hips and gazing at the group in the netting::

Host Training_Tech says:
Gas grenades? 

XOBishop says:
$::makes a small motion to make sure the patch held::

CTO-Crazi says:
@::is extremely dis-satisfied at this all::

CTO-Crazi says:
@Training_Tech: first thought sir, it was later shot down!

Host Training_Tech says:
::turning to the team coming up from the ground below::  And you people.  Do you like dank corridors or were you just souvenir collecting down there?

SO_Trelan says:
@:: looks at the training tech :: Training Tech: Uhhhh, hello, sir.

CSOLorenzo says:
Tech: Sir?

TO_Kelson says:
$::shakes head::

CNS_Jalara says:
@Tech:  Sir, I hardly think it is fair to criticize our performance in this mission....

Host Training_Tech says:
I mean really.  The last group through here almost figured it out, but you people take the cake.

XOBishop says:
$Training tech:Actually we found several interesting geological formations but otherwise no sir

CSOLorenzo says:
Tech:the grenades would have worked if they had been real Jem’Hadar

Host Training_Tech says:
::rolling eyes at Bishop::  

Host Training_Tech says:
Bishop:  Haven't I seen you here before?

CTO-Crazi says:
@Tech: can we get down now sir!

Host Training_Tech says:
::rubbing at unshaven chin::  Hmmm.

XOBishop says:
$Training tech:Yes sir twice, My team succeeded the last time

Host Training_Tech says:
::waving down to some other techs::  Release the restraints and let them go.  The need to take a picnic break!

TO_Kelson says:
$::standing at attention::

CSOLorenzo says:
::nods at CTO, signals at our knives::

CTO-Crazi says:
@Tech: with the equipment and the man power this was almost a no win situation!

Host Training_Tech says:
Bishop:  Ah, you were the one.  That machete was a nice touch.

Host Training_Tech says:
Carry on, and better luck next time.  You've got your job cut out for you with this crew.  ::wink::

FCO_Doole says:
::looks at Alpha Team hung up in the netting, and shakes head::

Host Training_Tech says:
::striding back to the outpost::

XOBishop says:
$Tech:You should also have someone take a look at your holo generators, there was some flickering, only serve to degrade the scenario

CTO-Crazi says:
@::wonders why SFC insists on always making us lose::

Host Training_Tech says:
Bah!  ::waving off Bishop over his shoulder and stomping away::

SO_Trelan says:
@ :: falls to the ground with a thud ::

TO_Kelson says:
$Crazi: Just hangin' around?

Host Training_Tech says:
