USS Avalon NCC 06742-A: Episode IX

"Transwarp Run"

Summary:
The USS Avalon, finally enacting its plan to retrieve Commander Bryan Lea, has outfitted its Argo-class shuttle with some of the transwarp designs retrieved from the databanks of the mirror universe's General Corav's ship. The team chosen to rescue Commander Lea assembles aboard the shuttle and, once cleared, engages transwarp for their destination: a Borg complex on a planet in the Delta Quadrant. Upon arriving on the planet, they find a very dark, barely-hospitable landscape with acid rain pouring down on the team. Ensign Brigid Lea, using her connection with her twin brother, guides the team to the proper location in the Borg installation and administers first aid to the Commander once he is located. A Hirogen hunting party, however, chooses the team to prey upon. Both Telsia Hunter and Trace Calion are injured before the team escapes, which happens just before the Borg descend on the site. The shuttle returns to the Avalon, and although to them they have been gone for only a matter of hours, two months have passed in normal space, which is obvious partially by the progress of Liel Andora's pregnancy. The crew encounters the Avalon's new XO, Andrea Bellford, for the first time, then are given a week's rest time.


Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: -=[BEGIN SIM]=-
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: sits onboard the Argo-class hitomi, running one last check over her transwarp systems in preperation for launch :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Avalon is completely motionless in the vastness of space. Her crew is going to attempt a rescue mission into the Delta quadrant. A trip which will take an hour there and an hour back... supposedly.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Loads the last of the medical supplies she may or may not need. One never knew it did well to be prepared. Her face was blank her violet eyes distant as she worked. Checking off items on the list. Her brow furrowing slightly in thought.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Crawling through a Jeffrie's tube inside of of the nacelle pylons, on his way back from changing out a faulty power tap::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks to Trace and Telsia:: [18C][18A] You two ready for this? ::he makes one last quick check on the transwarp drive::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: She has her hazard pants on, but the top of her uniform hangs to her waist showing her bronzed skin. ::: Trace... are the weapons loaded?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Yes, ma'am ::: whips around in his seat ::: The Compression Rifles and I-MODs have been loaded. We're just waiting on the other crew.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] Oh, yes sir.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [TAC] ::Resists throwing a fit over finding out she wasn't on the team. There was good reason. She stood on the deck watching them load up.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He reaches a TL and boards it, carrying a small equipment attachez case::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::Well, too, and fro. All right ... he fidgeted with his hair, a tad nervous. This would be something of a first ... pity there'd most likely not be enough time to pick up a souvenir::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] You're handling your not going much better than I thought.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] Main engineering
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Begins to put on his haz-mat suit::[NOIP] These are quite---unflattering on the buns ::And continues to pull it on::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][CO] Only at the moment. I have to tell Verkal then I will throw my tantrum... but it would be counter productive. ::She drew a deep breath walking to Verkal.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A]+T+[CENG] Are you coming with us, Jameson? We could use someone on the shuttle monitoring the transwarp drive...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CTAC] Yes? ::he heard her walking up, letting out a little sigh. More lack of sleep ... he never slept well before a mission like this. The training helped, but it was in no way pleasant::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Not to mention, no one is here to man the Operations post...
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Checks his enhanced compression rifle performing a quick SPORTS drill :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] Verkal... I need to tell you why... I'm not going with... I... uh.. ::She shifted leaning close to whisper in his ear.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][18C] Unless Corav can get here i am manning ops.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG]+T+[18A] I'll be there as soon as my turbolift can get me there. Should be a fun ride.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CTAC] Are you not feeling well? If something's wrong ... tell me ... ::he tilted his head to one side, peering at her::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He made the change in turbolift direction and it headed to the shuttlebay::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][XO] Oh, roger that sir ::: gives a quick nod of his head :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] I'm pregnant... ::Her voice soft and low his ears only.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::slides into the operations chair bringing up all the stats on the shuttle:: [18A] I really hope you and Curtis knew what you were doing when you brought this drive online.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Glances to Trace biting her lower lip for a moment and back to arranging the medical supplies. Then nods satisfied.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] So, lover ::: referring to the mirror Telsia and Mirror Etti ::: I hope to have us in and out once we hit the ground.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::what she had said was almost silent, what he responded with was quite loud indeed:: [CTAC] You're ... you're ... ::trying to grasp what he'd just been told, shocked to say the least:: you're ... WHAT!?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: He raised his purple/green eyes to her ::: Everything okay? Still feeling sick?
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Winces at the shout. Smiling a little.:: [HELM] You heard me!
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::His TL arrives on shuttlebay deck, and he exits just before entering the SB, finding a small group of personnel around the Hitomi::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::took a second to click and gave her a extremely confused look till he realized where that came from.:: [18A] Agreed. And sorry but Selphie is my one and only.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Nods a little bit.:: [18C] It's better though.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A]Awww hell ::: remembers ::: +T+[CSEC] Oiiii! Neris, where are you?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CENG] Ahoy mat'e. Like the suit? ::He smiled to Jameson as he stepped into the shuttle bay, pointing at his Hazard suit::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CTAC] You ... but ... we ... were you? Well I didn't expect ... the species barriers ... ::he managed to shut himself up, taking a long, deep, soothing breath:: Is it healthy
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: a slight smile ::: that's good to hear. ::: he whipped around back to the science and engineering station :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] It is too early to tell. But so far so good. Brigid will keep an eye on us as will K'Tor.. ::She smiled a little trying to sooth him. Her hand lightly on his shoulder.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He blinked and nodded:: [CSEC] Why yes, it makes your buttox look very... Pakledish ::He let out a giggle and made his way to a console where Transwarp functions could be monitored::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Starts kicking the tires on the Hitomi's jeep ::: [XO] Looks like as soon as we get all personel loaded, we're squared away.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CTAC] I ... see ... good ... ::still digesting all of this:: Now I understand why you were not assigned ... ::he cut himself off again:: are you all right then?
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Nods softly smiling.:: [HELM] Other than a bit of stomach upset. ::Kissing him gently on the cheek.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CENG] ::Frowned and turned red:: You know, I dont design these things.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Eyes the Argo and smiles, having been part of a volunteer Academy team that participated in Argo tests before they went into standard production:: [NOIP] Hey! I wanna drive!
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][18A]Good. ::taps his comm::+[HELM]+ Etti to Verkal. Is everything okay?
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG][CSEC] Well, at least you don't have to worry about unruly crewmembers hitting on you.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Standing up, moving over to Telsia ::: [18A] Transwarp core looks good. I just hope the variable geometry warp field takes on the Hitomi. It was originally meant for the Adeema.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he put his hands around her waist, giving Liel a kiss, before pulling away, and hitting his badge:: +[XO]+ Verkal here ... I suppose that depends on your definition of okay ... but as for the mission, so far, so good, as the saying goes ...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sits down her fingers pressed to her temples for a moment then sighs a little.:: [18A] Medical is all ready, Telsia
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Blushes a bit looking up at him. A slight rock on her feet. Then moved to stand beside Zander.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CENG] Very true but once i'm out of the suit! I dont know what i'll do with those crewmembers ::Smiled as he walked around in the silly looking suit with his helmet in hand::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: Wraps an arm around his shoulder and gives him a quick sock in the ribs ::: I trust your work, bud. [CMO] That's good. {Others] Is everyone else ready to go?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] And, how'd he take it? ::: sipping a cup of raktajino. A drink Feala had turned him on to :::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He smiled and took a seat at the station:: [18A] It's all go down here.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] I'm going to go crash in the aft compartment. Wake me up when we hit the delta quadrant... okay? ::: Unzips his hazard top and lets it hang, similar to the way the 18A has hers :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][CO] He's in shock. I hope he understands why you knew first. He was in training at the time I found out. ::Her arms crossing beneathe her chest.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CENG] Well, another good to go. [18C] Go ahead, trace. I know you must be tired.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] Well, at least he's not trying to slit his wrists...
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][ALL] All hands, departure stations.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Well she had to make reports too. She was tired. her head in her hands. She was already there. Trace had worked very hard to make this a reality. So had Liel.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::watches Telsia with a slight grin on her face thinking this will be interesting. He brings systems online along with the engines::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Groans at that image.:: [CO] Do not even give him the idea..
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] Now, we're shipping you back to SB Eight ::: guides her to a type 11 shuttle craft :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] We'll see you and that baby in nine months
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He was disassociating himself very well with the things going on around him, finally having learned the "Betazoid" way. He was already at his station so he just nodded at the 18A::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: ]CTAC][CO} Hell no! ::She yelled. Digging her heels in.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::of course he was a tad shocked ... but he'd speak with her if he lasted through the mission. Ahh, well, to the pilot's station. Off he went ... wondering if being sober was wise for all of this::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Moves towards the front the ship, which wasn't big at all and manned the empty Tactical station:::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: She gripped onto the ceiling's hand bar and then noticed, for the first time, that the Hitomi had a command chair. She sat in it, rocking back and forth a few times ::: So this is what it feels like to be a Captain?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] ::: He busted up laughing ::: Okay, okay.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::turns his chair to face Telsia:: [18A] Like it? ::he grins:: I though you only cared for the hand to hand combat.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][CO] You are not sending me off this ship. You already took me off the mission. ::Realizing he was teasing she started laughing too.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] Pffffft. If this thing had a vibrating feature, a remote control and a beer I'd never leave. ::: a smirk ::: [HELM] Mr. Verkal, signal the Operations officer that we're ready to depart.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: From the rear of the Hitomi ::: [18A] Senpai! That's the Hitomi's Operation's officer's job!
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Doses sitting up. Her head in her hands for the moment. Between opening her eyes and shaking her head. Blinks at the others tilting her head.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Blush ::: [XO] Mr Etti, signal the Operations officer that we're ready to depart.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][NOIP] Baka.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][18A] Just Verkal ... I've gone through too many prefixes and the like in my lifetime ... ::he shrugged, hitting in the needed commands ... making sure they knew the vessel was prepared::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::taps a few commands on his consol as he puts com through to Crewman Balgura at Ops:: +[Balgura]+ Shuttle Hitomi requesting clearence for takeoff.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Hitomi is cleared. The shuttle bay doors open as soon as the forcefield is engaged.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CMB]+T+[Hitomi] Good luck, ma'am. And good hunting.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Laughs shaking her head a little bit. Her fingers idly twining together.:: I am going to miss him. ::She whispered. Heard in the background.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::he nods to Verkal::[Helm][18A] There and Back. [HELm] No site seeing. :he says with a grin as they get ready.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CTAC] Not me, I'm glad to have the kids outta the damn house.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][ALL] Here we go guys ::Glances around around the Hitomi's bridge and prepares himself for anything::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Hitomi is shaped a lot like a run about. Ops and Helm in the front, eng behind helm and tac behind ops.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][NOIP] Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... it was great... sex in the shower... Halley Berry...
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He might as well be in a bubble, fascinated by transwarp science, he studied the schematics and flowcharts with intensity::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Stays where she is. Nodding a little bit. Peering toward the compartment where Trace was napping. Laughing slightly.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] Damn ... and here I was hoping to do a little collecting ... ::he snickered, looking up:: [ALL] Shall we?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][ALL] Who the hell is halley berry? [HELM] Mr Verkal... engage transwarp drive!
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Stands and points in the way they are facing, albeit they need to go slightly to the left, more :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks back to Telsia:: [18A] By the way, when your speaking to me, Either John or Etti....drop the Mr. ::he has always hated that Title::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::did she have to keep calling him mister? He'd start calling her Glinn soon ... the old Cardassian had a few little eccentricities like that. His fingers did their normal dance, as he got ready to, as far as he knew become the first Cardassian to pilot a federation starship at transwarp speeds. That'd silence mother::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] Sorry, Mr. Etti. While on my shuttle you will maintain the proper decorum. ::: a smirk :::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG][HELM] I hope you've got some Ale for later. I might even be talked into having Kanar. Just make sure I have my tastebuds surgically altered, first.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He pulled up various readings on the station as with one hand as he sat down the helmet on the floor beneth the station, everything seemed normal, to him atleast::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CENG] Careful what you say Curtis. We just might hold you to that. And during the operation have it set so everything tastes like cod or something like that...kills an appiteite.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Hitomi slipped into transwarp. From the perspective of the Avalon, turning into a pencil thin beam of light. The crew felt a bit woosy for a second, but then it cleared up and they were on their way.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CENG] You are kidding, are you not? If I live through this, I swear I'm going to go through half my stash when I return ... and yes I'll allow you some ... ::he cleared his throat, a little taken aback by the power of this transwarp system::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: He's wide awake by now, working on rigging the I-MOD cannon to the Hitomi's jeep. ::: It needs a name...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks at Curt then looks forward. Silently brooding.:: [HELM] The exact co-ordinance are programmed in already if you bring them up. ::Her voice was low.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::As the woosy feeling left him he'd remeberedsomething important::: [ALL] I've brought phaser rifles aboard for the landing team, set to kill please. Although they wont attack us unless they belive we're a threat so dont shoot unless shot at :: He'd finished his short little speech and looked back down at the station::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG][XO] ::He blinked and then made the face equivalent to xD :: Well, I'm an engineer. I'm sure I could change that before I got too grossed out.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] :: Looks at the jeep, thinking the same thing ::: Le'ts call it the Warthog.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Why the warthog?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: a slight tilt of his head :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CMO] Very well ... ::he brought up the flight plan, glad for the moment he'd not need to think much for himself ... he had a great deal on his mind::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: heaves a sigh ::: {18A] Cause J2-LRV is too long to use in conversation, Trace.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] But why? It doesn't look like a warthog. I think it looks like ::: Considers for a moment :::: looks more like... a Puma....
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG][18A] Okay, how about J-2-D-2?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sits listening to everyone talk. Shivering slightly now and then. Letting her mind drift the way it did lately.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] What in the sam hill is a Puma?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Like the old shoe company?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] No, Telsia. Like the cat...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18A][18C] It's a large cat. ::She answered.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::seeing everything is in order he gets up and moves back to Telsia and Trace:: [18A And C] Trying to figure out what to name it?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] You made that up...
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] I did not!
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] :: Laughs at his own comment having referred to some old space movie ::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks and smiles a little bit.:: [18A] Nope he didn't it's an animal on Terra.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Yes you did!
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Why does it look like a warthog, Telsia?
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Feeling he wasn't heard, he just tuned the two out and poured over his station again::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] SEe these tow hooks? Looks like tusks, now what kind of animal, aside from a warthog has tusks?
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks to Brigid:: [CMO] I don't think they know we are speaking Brigid. ::walks back to his station leaving them to argue::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] ... A walrus...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::nods a little bit.:: [XO] Too busy arguing.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: throws her hands in the air ::: Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals?!
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Unable to tune them out, he just blurted:: [ALL] ELEPHANT!
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG][XO] I would agree. Is there an invisible wall somewhere?
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he was debating yelling out "how about a shut the hell up beast" but didn't for one reason ... it looked like a targ ... ::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CENG ad 18C] Okay... now if no one wants to nake the jeep anymore mythical creatures... I say warthog... how bout it trace?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shivers a little bit. Sweating some.:: [NOIP] Hot... ::A very low voice not really meant to be heard but not quiet enough to not be heard.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] No, ma'am.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Awww, how bout Big Foot... Sasquach?
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO] ::taps a few commands putting up a force field and blocking sound in there also.:: [All] Hows that?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Hmmm?
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He still liked J2D2, but figured nothing he said was going to go through any thick skulls in the near future::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] What about unicorn...? Leprichaun...? ::: Points to Brigid ::: hey, Brily what's the mexican lizard thing... eats all the goats?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::laughing softly shaking her head.:: [XO] They sound like brother and sister.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::nods:: [CMO] Now i am glad i am a only child.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He thought a second and stood up:: [ALL]We're calling it Robin. now be quiet, I have a migraine.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: True enough, the jeep is named, Robin. The shuttle HELM console bleeps after forty five minutes.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Who knows what in the sam hill brought on that bout of rudeness, but, he returned to his meek state after that::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][XO] I'm not but then it's never been a point of contention for me... except having to rescue him.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he looked down at the beeping, checking it out, wondering if this was the signal to start to slow down ... ::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::started up a game of pong on his consol when he heard the beep:: [HELM] Here already?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks her eyes shifting to Verkal. silently praying that this was not a bad sign.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Stands up, zipping his hazard suit up and moving to the cockpit of the Hitomi ::: [ALL] So we're here? And in record time, too.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he started to reduce speed, keeping an eye on the sensor systems just to make sure nothing went too out of control, eyes darting about:: [XO] Yes, we have arrived in the target system
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shifts a little bit in her chair her hands tightening.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] Are there any other ships in the vicinity? ::: she brings her uniform all the way up after slipping her arms through :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::snaps his fingers as he closes the program::[Helm] I was starting to win too. Take us out of Transwarp. [18A] Telsia, go arm up. We are here. ::does the scans to check::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO]Roger that. ::: She gestures for Trace and Brily to follow ::: [18C] Remember the alternate orders...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sits forward some. Her head throbbing suddenly so much closer. The connection clearer. A slight lift of her head as she waited. her mouth tightening. She stood up taking the kit down with a small nod.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][NOIP] Now I need to alter our quarters ... and I can't leave phasers sitting around ... ::he was clearly fixated on this child thing, for obvious reasons. He struck in the flight plan however::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: As he pulled his EVA helmet from his suit's pattern buffer and loaded his enhanced compression rifle, IMOD, phaser and photonic grenades in ::: [18A] You don't have to remind me, Telsia.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks to Verkal with no clue what he is talking about::[HELM} Whys that?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Sitting in the passanger seat, her EVA helmet on and enhanced compression rifle in hand she was ready to roll when they touched down. :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Set and ready to go she walked to Telsia and Trace. Her mouth in a thin line. She climbed in the back. Her pale hands turning white with her tight grip.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The 'Warthog/Robin/Puma' has its gunning seat removed, instead has a stretcher mounted across the back and a third seat for a medic, IE brigid.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] What's wrong, Brily?
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] Damn ... and it could get out, and eat my plants too ... I mean she eats odd things as it is, who knows what ... ::he shook his head, bringing himself back into reality, now answering John:: Liel is pregnant ...
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Anatole moved from his station,picked up his helmet and ran toward the back of the ship:: [NOIP] Dont forget me! ::He smiled as he jumped in the back of the Argo and smiled:: Ready to go?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: He sat down in the drivers seat, turning to look over the seat at her in geniune concern :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CESC] ::: blinks in surprise the smiles ::: The more the merrier. ::: she hands him an IMOD :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Take us down. ::he then heard that last part:: But i thought....
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18A and C] We better find him fast. He is in too much pain to move. ::She motioned a little bit.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::After having checked various systems, he gently kicked the front right tire of the Robin and patted the hood:: [Robin] Yup, good lil' Argo. With an excellent driver, she'll do well.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] I thought a lot of things ... at least she says it seems to be healthy ... ::he stated, musing, looking confused, entering the flight plans, and sending the shuttle towards the target zone::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] Why thank you!
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][HELM and XO] Once we touch down, fly a circular pattern. Don't land for too long or else you may pick something unwanted up.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Hitomi's wing's sweep down for its atmospheric flight, they come down over the landing zone. The Hitomi hovers five feet from the ground...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::shakes his head:: [NOIP] I wish we could have got the Hunter modified. ::nods to telsia::[18A] Aye. I will have an eye on you guys all time. ::waits for the confirmation from Verkal::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO} We're ready to move out, open the hatch please.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::taps a few commands as the doors open up in the back:: [18A] Go.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Starts the engine up and revs it three times ::: Ooooh. I like it when they pur.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he worked in the flight pattern she requested, setting the ship to stay off the ground, just under five feet in the air. He didn't want to risk something unpleasant getting in there. He nodded that confirmation to John::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The door slides open to reveal a large, barren landscape with acidic rain pouring down by the gallon. There are, however borg stations in the distance...
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He sits back at his station, eyeing everyone on the Robin, waiting for them to dissapear from view. He wondered just how much him having spoken with Brian telepathically helped them.. But he shrugged it off::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Guns it off the ramp and whips around in the direction indicated on his TED. The acid rain shouldn't harm their hazard suits for tie time they were to be exposed to it. He gunned it, doing the Robin's maximum 150 MPH across the landscape :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::slaves tac over to his consol as he follows them on sensors ready to fire if anything goes wrong::[CENG] Get back and check on those engines. I want them tip top on the way home.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::A sickly though amused grin at the statement. Trying not to laugh. Then pales alarmingly. This was of course her own reaction. Thanking the heavens for the haz suits.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: All of their talk is over a com channel, so the shuttle's crew can hear automatically ::: [NOIP} What a horrid little world.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Horrid was right. If not for the headlights on the Robin, the team couldn't see much of anything.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::His thoughts returned to Bri herself, hoping she was faring well, remembering how she had freaked out on the holodeck while he had driven his modified Jeep at only 70 mph across a pleasant prairie landscape.. this would not be her cup of tea::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [18C] Go a little slower grandma ::Sarcasm thick in his voice:: [18A] I agree, so lets get in and go out as fast as possible ::He laughed::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He was shaken out of his little world by the order and he instantly began checking engines, making sure they wouldn't be stranded. [XO] Aye, sir.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::one they were out and about, he started to wheel around in that manner which he had been told to do, trying to stick as close as he could, while remaining fairly due to the terrible conditions::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Brily shook her head slightly. Her gaze straight ahead.:: [18C] Angle slightly to the right.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] Roger... ::: he gripped the wheel and turned them to the right slightly. His foot still meshed with the deck of the Robin :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::She had been doing her own training for this. Still not her favorit way to travel but she wasn't going to pass out this time. She had made sure of that. Her perceptions merged with her brothers drawing closer.:: [18C] Left about 70 degrees ..
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: She peers, attempting to see where in the hell they are going. Her body tightens, something didn't seem right. :::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] Okay... left 70 degrees ::: follows the digital compass ontop of the dashboard :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Draws a deeper breath. Her head turning slightly. Two different perceptions but the light peircing the night was revealing things. Brily groaned.:: [NOIP] This place is a pit.. a stinking hell pit.. ::Her voice hard and angry.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He raised his left hand to wipe the droplets of rain that had splattered onto his helmet, and glanced around at the planet.:: Whoa ::This place gave him the heebe jeebe's.:: [CMO] How much longer?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CMO] ::: Agreeing with neris ::: Yes, how much father? I definately don't like the feel of this place...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he would have agreed ... flying in this mess was most annoying. Even with the technological level of the ship ... it was just not enjoyable::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Still, he monitors the engines, checking systems, making sure the Hitomi itself was working fine. What good would the rescue be unless they could get back to the Avalon? They might have to all kill themselves if the Hitomi was marooned::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Seeming to be counting There was a dual flash in her vision.:: Another hundred yards... ::covering her face as if blinded.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: He agreed with the other three. He didn't feel that this added up. He just wanted to get back to the ship, have a kanar with Verkal and then go the hell to bed. They were a life time away from the Avalon. :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::a kanar? Verkal would have had a bottle if he had anything to say about it ... he'd rather be back with Liel right now, not zipping around over this festering wound on the galaxy's nether regions::
Ensign Brigid Lea: {CMO] ::Gripping the kit tightly. Her head throbbing ... She murmured in Gaelic.:: [18C] STOP!
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He braced himself, for he would have to make sure the whole team was safe and if he'd failed to do his job... he couldn't live with himself knowing that he'd got his crew members assimlated by the scum of the quadrant::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: More than a bit surprised he turned quickly and slammed on the brakes and slid :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Robin slides straight into a boulder. The impact damages its side plating and the lights go out. The only audible sound being the acid rain dripping around them.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][ALL] Flashlights... but keep the light on the ground. He';s been in the dark a long time and can't see.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][AwayTeam] Ground Team is Everything okay?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][NOIP] Shit! +T+[XO] We just damaged the Robin. Give us a sec, we're going to find the commander.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Lets out a huge sigh and jumps out of the jeep, grabbing SIMS beacons, handing them to everyone. he then turns his on, pouring light over the dead landscape ::: [CMO] Where to now, brigid?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO]::Before the lights had gone out there had been a small building off to the right that seemed to have been forgotten.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::An obsenity escapes his mouth into the helmet's com-link. We know who wont be driving on away missions again! He grabbed his flashlight and turned it on and pointed directly at the ground::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Get us over there. ::gets ready to activate the landing lights::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A]+T+[XO] Don't get too worried right now... we're going in...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::ugh, that didn't sound good at all. He was plotting in the flight path as John gave the order, hitting one final point on the console, sending them at his best speed towards the stricken land vehicle::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Takes one moving to the small building slowly. Picking up a small something that was making her walk funny putting whatever it was into a small container. Always the scientist. ::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: The group can see a flash of transporter light in the shape of a rifle as he keys his enhanced compression rifle from his pattern buffer. ::: [18A] Any particular pattern or do you just want a cluster fu-?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: A smile is on her face, not that anyone can tell. ::: I'll go ahead and take point for now, stay with Brigid and Neris. ::: She runs up about five meters ahead :::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] [XO] Sir, If we can get a grappling hook and pull the Robin back in while the away team is retriving the commander, we might be able to patch it up, should they need it again.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CENG] How long would it take?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC]::He giggled to himself as he listened to the com-link::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::but her attention was on the door. Moving almost without hearing Telsia. Then stopped casting her an agonized look. Her jaw flexing. But she was gone.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CMO] Where are we heading, Brigid? Talk to us here. I can't see much... ::: she cursed as she almost tripped.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::realizes suddenly, while there is no grappling hook, he could beam it aboard by using the jeep's automatic transportation system:: [XO] Well scratch that, we should just use the transporter. I'll get to work on it and have it back on the ground as fast as possible.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::nods:: [CENG] OKay get ready. [HELM] We here yet?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: stops turning towards the door ::: [CMO] I take it he's in there?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Etti's console bleeps then dies out.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The bleeping dies out, not the console.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He takes a seat at the Robin's liason console and begins to prep for the transport::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][NOIP] I hate the borg ... everything about them is so ... ugly ... the ships, the cybernetics ... the planets ... [XO] and we're here, meaning there ... ::he ran a finger over his eyebrow ridge::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18A] Yes in there... he can see you but I can't tell how... ::Agonized. She couldn't wait.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Do your job trace. ::: Pulls Neris and Lea back away from the door with her hands :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Stains a little against telsia's hand, but gives way at the same time.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::checks his consol for the souce of the bleeping::[GroundTeam] Okay guys, you might like this. I am detecting life signs near you. Can't tell wether they are borg or not. Prepare yourselves just in case.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] ::: A smirk ::: Roger that. ::: He kneels in the mud and begins pulling out det cord and charges, taking his time to measure out and form a circle on the door ::: Breaching charge set... ::: he moved away from the door and pressed the button :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::taps a few commands as the "Robin" is beamed to the shuttle:: [CENG] There ya go CHeif.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A precision breach, on Trace's part. The door shatters into a million peices and then leaves them a clear path in
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] We copy, we'll be especially watchful. ::: Pulls out her tricorder, putting away her rifle in favor of a pistol :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::A low soft growl emmited from her. Her gaze zipping around the landscape if it weren't for the lights she could see!::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Telsia's triocorder begins to pick up the commander's lifesigns.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Moves backawards as he was pulled::[18C] I see destruction is your thing ::Hinting about his less than spectacular driving. He the pulls his rifle hearing the commanders warning::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::oh ... he really ... really hoped those were not Borg ... sadly this little pleasure cruise lacked a refund option. So he just held position near the ground team::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He watches the busted up Robin as it appears in the bay. He activates a scan on the console, which would diagnose every problem with the Robin and he could begin to replicate parts::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Well, I am a Special Forces engineer ::: a friendly smile as he proceeded in after Telsia ::: I can't wait till we get a full ODA>
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Follows them in no way in this place was she waiting. Her head tilted in a menacing way. She took out two hyposprays from the kit.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: As they proceed in deeper, they notice that the acid liquid flows down with them. As they slope down ito a giant cave area, Brigid sees him.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shutters a little bit moving toward him changing which hypospray she had in her hand. She bent over him sheilding him for the lights while she scanned him over. It was not difficult even in the haz suits to see her shaking. She pressed the hypospray against Bryan's neck firmly. Murmuring softly. Bryan was burned from the rain. Hypothermia had set in within the last 24 hours. The Uniform was starfleet. Bryan shifted away from the light but the movement was weak. He had several gashes along his forehead and sides.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Looks around with his rifle leveled, just in case... :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Etti's pannel chirps multiple times
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][ALL] Ah, sugar honey iced tea ::Looking at the acidic liquid::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CMO] ::: A soft, understanding voice ::: As soon as you get him stableized, we need to move...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::checks his consol:: What the hell.....::he doubles checks his systems:: [GroundTeam] Guys, we got muitple unknown objects moving to you. Too fast to be borg.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][XO] Are you sure they're not sensor echos?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Whipping out his tricorder ::: [XO] You're just reading us, sir. I don't have anything on my 'corder.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][18A] Negative. Just double checked Sensors. OPS and Tac are reading it.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::the Borg did tend to lumber, didn't they? He tried to slow his breathing, tried to stay calm, all the while baby-sitting the shuttle ... crashing it would not be wise::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C and CSEC] Oh, my. Looks like we have a fire fight on our hands ::: her tricorder disappeared as did her phaser. In its place an enhanced compression rifle appeared.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C and CSEC] Let's protect the good Doctor until we're ready to go.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] [18A and C] Will do. :: He noded and gripped his rifel tightly and his finger was braced on the trigger::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][ALL] I don't see anything. Even my TED isn't lighting up. ::: He switched through multiple vision scopes...;
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][Team] They are closing. [HELM] Verkal, is that gap big enough for "Robin" to get down in?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shifts running scan after scan in quick succession. Shaking her head. They weren't going to die here. A shake of her head as she stablized the Commanders condition.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Switches to bio scan mode :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] Yes ... it is ... though I am afraid to say not by much at all ... ::didn't need to be too optimistic, did he? Dark eyes still fixed on the controls::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Telsia sees them first, several hirogen. Then, Trace feels them as a double pronged metal dart flies out and catches him in his right shoulder :::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] What the-? Ahhhhh! ::: Drops his rifle as his pain is heard all over the COM. :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][XO] Get us out of here. We don't have any time left. Now. ::Her voice steady monotone.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] What the hell? ::He fires blindly hoping he hit something:: [18C] You ok?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] Trace! ::: using her bio scan in her eye display she begins to open fire using her compression rifle. Pencil thin beams of blue plasma energy begin flying :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::taps the commands and tries to get a lock on the away team along with Bryan:: [HELM] Verkal get the Robin prepped if i can't get them,.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][ALL] ::: Winces as he stands ::: I'll live. ::: picks up his compression rifle, steadying it on a rock and begins to fire where telsia does :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He continues to fire blindly.:: [18A] Telisa, any clue what those things are?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CSEC] They're hirogen! Hunters in the delta quadrant!
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] Hunters? Why the hell are we being HUNTED? ::He continues to fire::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Taps something on his fore arm glove and a photonic grenade is materialized in his hand. Pushing down the button and removing the pin he chunks it over a rock ::: Frag out!
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::another nod, as he stood, setting the shuttle to auto pilot, and starting to mess with that strange vehicle as best he could. Hirogen? He'd read something about those things ... someplace ... well, they weren't Borg but alas, in theory they were a good deal worse::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][ALL] Hit the deck!
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Shutters a little bit not daring to look up yet. That hypospray that had been near at hand picked up. She cuddled Bryan close who was now unconcious. The kit gathered up.:: [NOIP] Please ... please... ::She whispered. Bending over Bryan at the command to hit the deck.:;
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] Daaamn ::: Crouches by brigid helping her cover the Commander, he must've been important if they went all this way to get him :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::gets a lock on Brigid and Bryan but can't get the others. beams her back in with her brother.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A layer of kelcite prevents transportation, and three of the hirogen are killed instantly by the grenade. Otherwise, four are left :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Brigid and Bryan, however, are beamed through
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: They appear in the Hitomi's one room med bay.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CMO] Doc, you got everthing. Let me know if we get company. ::sets the ship to remote operation as he gets up and moves back and grabs two compression rifles::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][XO] Did you forget us sir!?!
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] ::: Pulls Neris's head down :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] Ah!? What's happned?
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Here Catch. ::he throws one to Verkal:: Lets go gets these guys back. ::hops in the passenger seat as he opens the back doors::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: And no later done than a bolt of plasma energy soars by where his head was.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Her hands move over Bryan's FC era uniform lightly. Realizing that they were back she wailed a little. Setting to work doggedly. She wouldn't lose. No. Tugging the suit off so she could work better. Ignoring the tears sliding down her face as she checked the damages. ::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: leaning over a boulder on the opposite side of the room she continued to fire. :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he gripped one of the Cardassian phaser pistols he always lugged about in one hand, taking the rifle, and hanging it over his shoulder. He was glad the pistols were unapologetically created to kill. He took a seat, in the driver's station, as he assumed that was what was wished, powering up the land craft. Oh, he wished he was not sober for this::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18A] ::Glancing above his head:: Well thank you! ::He smiled althouh she couldn't see. He fired off another round at the hunters hoping he'd caught atleast one with a shot to the head::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A buzzing sound behind telsia gives way to massive pain as one of the Hirogen's jagged wrist blades tears straight into the her back and goes straight through the side section of her stomach :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: blinks in surprise more than anything then kicks herself off the serrated edge, doing more damage than good. She screams loudly as she makes it off, gathering enough energy to fire back a few good shots to its head as she lands on the ground.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][18A] Telsia! ::: Crawls over to her, dragging her behind the boulder with him and Neris ::: This doesn't look good.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::Verkal floored things, as it were, jumping out with the land craft ... or at least making the attempt. Maybe those Hirogen would have a few exotic weapons or something that might look appealing in his quarters. Wait ... they'd have to be put up high ... damn it:: [XO] Let us kill these things ...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::loads his rifle as they fly off the ship ready to take aim. He taps a few commands as the lights come on full:: [CSEC] ON my Way Neris.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Lowers her head slightly bringing her brother around long enough to assure herself that there was no nerve damage. She went to work single mindedly getting him fully stable. Then moving out into the shuttle listening to what was happening below with some despair. Her hands white on the ops chair backing.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The last of the hunting party enters the ramp of the cave.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Another grenade would be nice right about now.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Is shivering from blood loss, not to mention the pain of having a nice blade wound on the right side of her stomach all the way though :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Grab her tricorder, how many life signs other than ours?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] I can't my pattern buffer is damaged. ::: he smirked. ::: Just keep firing ::: lets a barrage out with his and tels'as rifle :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Look where that's gotten us! ::He let a round of fire at the crazed hunters::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Chunks of rock are blown away, eroded until the boulder is thin enough to start blowing chunks of rock back at the ground team.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::As he rode along, pushing the Robin, as it was being called full bore, he used the hand he was not driving with to wield the phaser pistol at anything that might have passed for Hirogen, the weapon of course on a ludicrously high setting::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Her head bowing slightly listening. She couldn't just stand here. Brily swung around and moved to the med bay again knowing that Trace and Telsia were hurt. Telsia badly. She gathered what would be needed.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Good idea. Full speed.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He mumbled into his com-link::[18C] I knew I should have prepared a secuirty team for this--or none of this would've happned ::glancing down at Telisa::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: As Verkal barrels down, he splatters Hirogen right and left. until he bursts through a crowd of them.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: They fly into walls and one is pinned under the wheels of the robin.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Stands up, looking at the robin ::: It's good to see you guys...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][Team] Somebody call for a rescue team?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Help the Ensign, please?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][XO] That'd be us...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: It's no less than the Hirogen Alpha under Etti's wheels.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::jumps out and moves to Telsia helping her get on the ship::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Accepts the help but winces in pain :::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Leans down over the Hirogen, pulling off his mask and kicking away his pistol :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::takes a look down at the Hirogen:: [Alpha] If you live, tell your people don't mess with Starfleet...they won't live long.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::who would have thought he'd get the chance to commit multiple counts of vehicular homicide in this day and age! He pulled as close as he could to the team, and if he could, swipe one of those delightfully lethal Hirogen weapons::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][Alpha] My my... ::: Stands putting his compression rifle over the Hirogen's head ::: How the tables have turned... ::: sets his rifle to tri-burst and smirks ::: Ja... na... ::: pulls the trigger and three bursts go through its skull :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Hirogen's head practically explodes as phased plasma energy rips through it's crainium. Trace gets gooies all over his right leg, however.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::She waited impatiently. Brily's eyes burned blinded some. She set to work. Shaking her head a little bit. Listening still hovering over her stabalized brother.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Well worth the gooies. He picks up the Hirogens mask, a Hirogen rifle and pistol, handing a spare rifle he finds to Verkal ::: There we go. ::: His right arm is lifeless at his side as he tosses everything onto the robin :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::watches Trace fire off the rounds:: Well there goes that idea. ::he reaches down and carries Telsia to the Robin and hops in::[ALL] Get in and lets get out.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] Ick ::He turns away from the goo, he was never fond of gross looking squishyy things. He hops in thethe Robin:: [XO] Wouldnt have it any other way.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: jumps in, clutching at his right shoulder, using his gloved hand to cover Telsia's wound which would only be agitated if hit by rain :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][18C] ::: She nods in dilusional, agonizing appreciation and covers his with her hand as well :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][18C] This will look oh so nice in my bathroom! ::he plucked up one of the masks as well, wanting to get more of the body armor, but letting it be for want of time. Throwing the thing into reverse, once all were on the Robin, he sent the thing rolling away towards the ramp. He did not need to be told twice::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Get us out of here...Now!
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Just as they make it to the top, the team sees green transporter lights coming from the cave. The Borg seem to have taken an interest and they'd gotten out just in time... the Hirogen who were left alive scream as they... are brought to order from chaos.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::grabs the remote and pilots the shuttle down so as soon as they fly out of the cave they head right into the shuttle::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Cradles Telsia's head in his lap as he keeps the acid from her face and wound :::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: A rasping sound ::: Borg? ::: She hisses as acid ocassionally drops onto her wounds :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he floored the break, so as to not slam into the front of the shuttle:: [ALL] I do hope we can leave now ...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Stays where she is not sure what was going on. Her head down a little bit. She waited for the wounded to arrive. There was no relief.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The shuttle rotates, as if expecting them and verkal slides straight in. The wheel clamps engage and the shuttle lifts to a preset altitude of 30000 meters.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Righto. [18C] Get Telsia to Sickbay. I am not going to explain what happened to her to Alex if she comes back like that. ::he gets up and moves quickly to the ops consol::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: A fine mist sprays over them all, neutralizing all the acid as the Hitomi ascends back to the heavens.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][NOIP] Phew, talk about cutting it close. To....the.....wire!
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][XO] Yes, sir. ::: picks up telsia, cradling her limp body and takes her into the sickbay, placing her on the second bio bed. The double pronged dart is still lodged in his right shoulder :::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::the second they were inside, he jumped up, and booked for the helm controls, eager to get the whole lot of them away from Borg scrutiny::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::moves about the bay gathering the stuff to help Telsia. laborously removing the suit so that she could work.:: [18C] you stay.. I want to take care of that dart. ::She worked though regenerating the would. A hypospray of antibiotics.::
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: She holds onto her wound for dear life, the acid burn still there. Coughing, and hacking she moans in pain ::: [CMO] And... this time... I did take backup ::: She grinned ::::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] Thanks but, she needs to be taken care of first. I'll live with this dart for a while... ::: slumps against a wall :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] He jumped out of the Robin and grabbed his helmet off his head and unzipped his suit rolling it down to his waist and walked briskly to the tactics station::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][HELM] Once we get out of the planets atmoshere and clear takes us back to the Avalon. Transwarp.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: THe shuttle breaches the atmosphere.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18A] We will make sure to tell Liel. ::smiling as she worked with the burns dermal regenerator and neutralizing the acid at each turn.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] I was indeed hoping you would give me an order along those lines ... ::so far, so good ... back in under an hour or your raid into Borg space is free ... that'd work. He entered the commands, fingers moving with their normal skill and speed::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: leaves to the bridge for a moment ::: [Bridge Staff] I wonder if we proved our usefulness, or that we could get shot up...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::he moves back to the Medbay.::[CMO] How are they doing doc?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO]::She nodded a little bit seeing Telsia stablized along with Bryan. Another check on Bryan adjusting something.:: [XO] I ... I could have accepted having to leave him. What does he know... look at his uniform... ::She ran her fingers through her hair distractedly.:: What was so important? ::She rocked slightly.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Sits in the vacant operations chair, sighing, the double dart still stuck in his shoulder. It was serrated, so there was no way in hell he wanted to pull it out :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] You should really get that---uh---science was never my subject, pulled out i guess?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: He laughs, geently then sighs ::: Sickbay has worse cases right now. I'm fine.
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CMO] I can't say right now. Other than getting him back so you can be reuinited. How about the others.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::Glancing down at all the readings,still normal:: [18C] If you say so.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sighs a little bit. looking down at Bryan. He was horribly burned. From more than one source some of them old.:: [XO] Telsia is stable but lost alot of blood it will be a while. Bryan is stable but... I will need the medbay on Avalon to do anything more. Trace walks out like nothing happen. I will have to order him back in. ::giving a look that said that was going to be difficult.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he started to rub his temples as he ordered the ship to transwarp speed. At least now he could ... rest::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::nods::[CMO] We will be back on the avalon in the hour. I will get Trace back in no problem.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Actually he walks back in ::: [CMO] Darling... can I have this pulled out?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: The first time he was informal while on duty :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Smiles and nods a little bit. Motioniing him over to the only spot remaining. A chair.:: [18C] How do you react to pain killers?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] Any way I can...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks back::[CMO]Never mind then. I will be up in front. Notify if any changes. ::leaves and heads up front and takes his seat:: [HELM] Verkal go get some rest. I will let you know when we get home.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Laughs a little giving him a painkiller seeing that the dart was serated. Grits her teeth slightly getting out a thin but inflexible and strong tool that looked like a set of pinchers.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][XO] And me sure? May I catch up on the rest thing?
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][XO] Well, if you insist ... ::he smiled in a fairly haggard way, quite thankful, before standing, walking over to a bulkhead, leaning against it, and slumping to the floor with an oddly content sigh. At least he did manage to get some delta quadrant souvenirs::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CSEC] Ayue.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Lays back, sure this will hurt like hell later :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Sets the instrument scowling as she pulled the dart out shaking her head a little bit pressing a cloth around the dart. Closing her eyes a second then opening them and pulling hard.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [ASEC] Phew! I could really do without this suit making my butt look like --- ::He walked into his quarters and undressed down to his underwear::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] Ahhh damn... ::: can still feel it, though the pain killer has dulled it tremendously ::: [CMO] Come on, get... it... out
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] It's out.. ::She said softly getting the regenerator out and working to seal it up the cloth already soaked.:: It's done. ::Her voice gentle affectionate.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: His forehead was sweating as he leaned against the chair, looking at Telsia ::: [CMO] What about them?
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A] ::: Waves her hand slowly and then gives a thumbs up :::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] Telsia is healed and stable. But after loosing so much blood she needs the rest... ::She drew a deep breath looking down some.:
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The shuttle begins to drop out of warp...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::smiles at the wave.:: [18C] She'll be fine...
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::he taps a few commands as he brings the ship out of warp and scans for the Avalon:: +[USS AVAON]+ USS Avalon this is Shuttle Hitoma. Avalon Respond.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The Avalon is repositioned.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Looks to her brother her brow furrowing slightly. Her fingers going through her hair for a moment. A sign of distress.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The shuttle bay opens as an astonished crewman taxis them in using a tractor beam
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Liel and Zander wait on the flight deck
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::once inside the ship he sets up a transporter beam from the shuttle to Sickbay::+[CMO]+ Doc, be prepared to move. ::with perfect accuracy he transports the three to Sickbay. +[HELM][CSEC][18C]+ OKay everyone We're home.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18A] Telsia bed rest for the next two days. Light work only on half shifts. I catch you out of bed I'll have your borhter pin you down.
Ensign Telsia Hunter: [18A][CMO] Yea... yea ::: Site to sites to her quarters with a smile :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Stands there crying. Bouncing on her heels at the same time as they watch the shuttle come in.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::he opens up the back door as he heads out:: [CO] We are going to need some engineers up here to repair the 'Robin" also to clean her up.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][XO] Where the hell have you guys been?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Zander's eyes are sort of full of disbelief :::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC]::Gets out (skips all the good stuff) of the shuttle::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Walks out of the shuttle, looking- in disbelief- at Liel :::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO][CO] Long Story. And you know those Hirogen Janeway had in her Report from the Delta Quadrent. She was kind to them about their fighting style.,
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Covers her slightly rounded stomach with her hands rocking on her feet. Her eyes searching and searching. Tears sliding down her face.::
Fleet Commander John Etti: [XO]::looks to Liel noticing the rounded Stomach::[CO] What Stardate is it?.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][XO] You guys have been missing for two months.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Steps out but stays near the shuttle. Looking for any other medical Then her gaze goes to Zander.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] Two months? [CO] How so?
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Well, transwarp is fast, but time still passes in normal space...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::Verkal got up, looking, well ... tired, but better off for his little power nap. He got out of the shuttle, and say Liel crying, his head tilting to one side::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::fidgets slightly tilting her head a little bit. Her body type made her show sooner.:: [HELM] Verkal... ::Her voice soft Then ran to him hugging him tightly.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] Evidently not...
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Actually, yes. What seemed like one hour to us was actually a month in real time.
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he put his arms around her, rocking her back and forth:: We're fine ... just your average rescue in hostile conditions ... ::well, not average, but it had gone fairly well::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][All Healed Crew] Let's... uh... head to the bridge. We have someone you guys need to meet.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] Been gone so long... I ... kept hoping... ::She murmured. Then nodded a little.:: Come on...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he shrugged, putting the Hirogen weapon over his shoulder, and tucking the helmet under his arm:: [CTAC] Was I really gone for so long?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC]::Moves to the TL alongside 18C:: [18C] This should be intresting.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::her brother was taken to Sick bay post haste. She walked to the group her lips tightening.::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: He puts his good arm around her shoulder as bryan is site to sited to the sickbay ::: C'mon. He'll be fine in K'tor's care for a while... :::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] ::Nods softly wiping her eyes.:: Two months.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::leans on him nodding as they borded the lift. She felt drained. Guilt warring with joy inside her.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] A lot has happened since you all left.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC][HELM] ::leads him to the lift.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CTAC] Damn ... ::he shook his head, taking her hand in his as he moved along::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] We have a ::: smirk ::: new XO.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CO] ::: He leans on brigid, the blood flow having stopped and been repaired by her on the Hitomi ::: Replaced us so soon?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks lifting a brow slightly.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][18C] Two months passed by to us...
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] New? But---what about Etti?::he was shocked:: Two months? You couldnt have though we had---you never came to look for us? ::none of this was making sense::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: The bridge opens and a thin blonde haired, blue/green eyed woman sits in the command chair. She's wearing black, knee high starfleet issue boots, a black, knee length shirt with a hip length tunic and a black department undershirt.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CSEC] Look for us? In the Delta Quadrant? Not even the Avalon is that fast.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::blinks tilting her head. Examining the woman.::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Bites her lower lip. Still holding Verkal tightly.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [XO] ::: With a blank look she stood. Looking them over ::: [ALL] Welcome back. I'm Commander Andrea Bellford the Avalon's new... and I suppose now former XO.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][18C] I guess...[ALL] Did you not contact Starfl-- ::The new commander stepped onto the bridge elegantly.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][ALL] I'll get this sorted out post haste. In the mean time ::: Turns to Verkal and Liel and Trace and Brigid ::: Why don't you guys take a week of leave... I'll have someone cover for you. Same thing with you, Ensign ::: to Neris ::: All of you deserve a break.
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He was rubbed the wrong way as soon as she spoke...she had this, pretentious look about her.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::well this was a mess ... letting yet another shock today ... and for him it was still today sink in. Oh, getting time to curl up on the Scorpion with something to drink:: [CO] I could ... use that time ... thank you ...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CDRF][HELM] Verkal, it's good to have you back ::: A friendly hand shake. She did the same to Trace and to Brigid :::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: ACTION: Yes, fontane was now a Commander. A lot had happened in their absence.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::nods understanding the aim of that her head against Verkal's shoulder.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CO] Sir may I speak freely?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Returns the handshake her eyes half closing. A break. A long break::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CSEC] What is it, Ensign?
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CO] What in the hell has happned? ::He tried to be as curtious as possible, he was still speaking to his Captain and tried not to offend him in any way::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CSEC] We'll get caught up later, Neris. For now, enjoy some leave time while I get the roster sorted out, okay?
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] Sir. ::Very losely. Tired and over emotional. Her head against Trace's shoulder lightly.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CO] Well it's good to be back, but ... so strange ... it felt as though we were gone for but hours ...
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC][CO] ::Not satisfied but he still agreed:: I guess sir, I could use some off time.. ::His voice trailed off::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][CO] Telsia was injured... she should spend some time in bed then a gradual work up from there back to her normal stuff.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][HELM] If you don't believe me... ::: gestures with his head to Liel's stomach ::: the proof is in the pudding. [CMO] I'll go visit her and the Commander [Lea].
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::They had to know there was no way she was going to be far from her brother. Her teeth ground slightly. Trace could feel the faint vibration of the motion.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CO] I don't doubt it ... it's just ... well ... one thing after the next ... ::he shook his head, and patted the helmet:: at least I picked up a nice decoration
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] ::: Does feel the chatter ::: hey, we should use this time to relax.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] [18C] I'll try.. ::She murmured softly.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Stumbles out of his quarters, after having a badly needed shave::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][CMO] Also, Robin wanted to see you. You both should swing by for dinner soon ::: looks to Verkal and Liel ::: And we need to have dinner as couples as well.
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::Makes his way to the TL:: Deck ten.
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Smiles at the mention of Robin. Then looks up at Trace.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CO] I don't think that'll be a problem ... unless Liel has something else to say ... ::he put his arm over her shoulder::
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Sighs slightly feeling that sickness edging up on her. But determined to hold it at bay.:: {HELM][CO] No qualms just make sure there is something light for me to nibble on.
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Is in pain still but nods as he starts to make his way to the turbo lift :::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He enters the SEB and looks around to see if anyone is there, seeing nobody that he cared to speak with. He turned around and headed for the TL once more::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He couldn't think of all this new stuff that had been thrown at him and the rest of the away team,all he could think about is rest. He moved to the turbo lift and asks it to take it to the deck which the officers quarters are located on::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM][CO] Well that settles it ... any time in particular?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO] ::: Sits in his command chair, talking to the commander for a moment before answering ::: [HELM] Whenever you two get around to it. No rush...
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he nodded, giving Liel a look that basically said it was up to her then::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C] ::: Was not, personally, looking forward to returning to his small quarters. He sighed, moving to the lift ::: [TL] Deck six...
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO] ::Blinks following Trace. Kinda stumbly.::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He strode onto the bridge from the TL, nodding at everyone and meekly taking a seat at the engineering liason console::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter: [CO][HELM] Mr. Jordan, set course for Bajor... warp five. I think our crew needs a break.
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CTAC] ::Nods a little and smiles.:: [HELM and CO] After some rest. ::Tugs gently on Verkal's arm to lead him off the bridge.::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::he smirked, allowing her to tow him around ... he was just glad to have gotten back alive, what with all those who wanted to kill them, or assimilate them running around::
Crewman Recruit Trace Calion: [18C][CMO] I'll take you to your quarters to rest, okay?
Lieutenant JG Liel Andora: [CMO][18C] ::Blinks up at him tears slipping down her face and nods.::
Ensign JG Anatole Neris: [CSEC] ::He stepped off the TL and walked into his quarters and undressed once again. He walked over to the replicator:: Warm milk. ::he grabbed it and sipped it slowly. His mother used to give this to him when he had night terrors as a child::
Ensign JG Curtis Jameson: [CENG] ::He was in a daze, in his own little zone, he was somehow content, even though he was no longer with Bri. He was, no longer seeking anything. He realized his home was the Avalon and he should be glad that he was there::
Lieutenant JG Verkal Andora: [HELM] ::Verkal gave her a little peck on the cheek, starting to wipe away a few of the tears with his fingers::
Ensign Brigid Lea: [CMO][18C] ::Blinks up at him tears slipping down her face and nods.::
