Shran113: Welcome, all I have our next storyline in mind, but I don't want to start it without more people here... So tonight I am feeling like it is time for some training.
Shran113: You have all become a little think in the gut as of late, and so I feel a good little hike through our ship's holographic swamps may be good for all of you.
Shran113: Commander Mckenzie I will want you with me to monitor the teams progess on a mental level
CindyLeeMcKenzie: ::nods::
AidanMcKenzie UF: ::shakes his head slightly::
Shran113: Commander T'Lar, Captain Greathouse, Lieutenant Collins, and Ensign McKenzie you will be my four man squad
Cylde Greathouse: Yes Sir
Marshal Collins: Yes, sir
AidanMcKenzie UF: Yes, sir
STUF TLar: Yes, sir
Shran113: Scenario, there is a small Dominion monitoring station on the third planet of the Zeta Reticula system. It has to be disabled before a squadron of Starfleet ships can pass through the system on their way to the Gamma Quadrant wormhole.
Shran113: Official reports list the garrison guarding the outpost to be no more than 24 Gen'hadar soldiers and possibly 1 Vorta
Shran113: Primary objective, take out the outpost by any means possible.
Cylde Greathouse: ::eyes lite up::
Shran113: Secondary objective, get into their systems and see what, if any information they have on our coming assualt on the wormhole.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
Cylde Greathouse: no Sir
Marshal Collins: No, sir
CindyLeeMcKenzie: None
AidanMcKenzie UF: no, sir
STUF TLar: No, sir.
Shran113: With that, the chain of command still applies. Commander T'Lar is in charge with Captain Greathouse as her second. Safety protocols are activated and if you are hit by enemy fire you will be tagged and removed from the simulation.
AidanMcKenzie UF: ::mutters:: i'm just the lower rung of the ladder
Marshal Collins: Its okay,we all got to start somewhere
Shran113: As we begin you are already geared up and will be entering into the holodeck.
Shran113: =====BEGIN TRAINING=====
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac ::enteres the holodeck with fear gear. He takes a look around:: TNIP > what a mess
Shran113: ACTION>The holodeck shows a lush and hot swamp. various forms of wildlife are teaming all around the team. Tricorders will pick up all this wildlife and make it hard to pinpoint and Gem'hadar enemies.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::waiting to enter the Holodeck:: all>Party time
AidanMcKenzie UF: Helm > ::he has a phaser and a phaser rifle with him::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS> ::watches the tarining team::
Shran113: CO>::Shran is in a small room with the counselor watching the team in action.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He walks into the holodeck, checking his gear and pack.:: ALL>I don't think we in Kansas anymore.
AidanMcKenzie UF: TAC > MCO > Did I ever tell you that I dont do well in swamps?
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>TAC> Just a wet jungle
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She enters into the holodeck and sees the scenary inside the holodeck. Looks down at her tricorder and taps on it.:: [CSCI] I doubt that we are any where near Kansas.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>I don't know... you've never seen Kansas in the rainy season. ::he smiles and takes out his own tricorder.::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO> so far they are OK well see when the crao hits the fan
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > MCO > wet jungle.. I dont think I been in a jungle before
Shran113: CO>CNS>This scenario has a few tricks. I am interested to see how the ship's senior officers fair.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>TAC> watch out for the gators and quicksand
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She looks up.:: [CSCI] No and I don't attend to go there any time soon either. [ALL] Lets get moving. we do not have much time.
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO>Yes it will
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > MCO > If I see a gator, i'm gonna shoot
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>Aye, ma'am. ::he follows the XO in the positions she is headed.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>ALL> stay 5 pace a part
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > XO, MCO > Yes, ma'am, sir
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO> I have seen that lock before Clydes going into combat mode
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::stays 5 paces behind the XO::
AidanMcKenzie UF: TAC > XO, MCO > Shall I bring up the rear?
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She moves through the leafy brushes.:: [TAC] Yes.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::keeps shift his eyes looking for the enemy::
Shran113: ACTION>As they walk an energy signal begins to grow on the tricorders indicating the outpost is getting closer. They are nearing enemy territory rapidly.
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She begins to signal that they are getting closer.::
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::brings up the rear, watching out for any wildlife to sneak up on them::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>XO> were nearing the the outpost ::looks at his tricorder::
Shran113: CO>CNS>If they don't begin to quiet down I doubt this mission will last very long.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>ALL> Keep it quite and eyes open
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > MCO > Eyes are wide open sir, being as quiet as i can
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO> Very true sir
STUF TLar: [XO] [MCO] Yes.. I noticed.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::moves quitly keep a watch out::
Shran113: ACTION>The outpost can be glimpsed at a distance now through the thick trees. Several sentries are patrolling the area around it.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::looks through is feild glasses::XO> 5 guards ::points out were their patroling::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO>quit intersting
STUF TLar: [XO] [MCO] ::She nods.:: Move in quitely.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::nods and moves quitely::
ST NPC01: GRD>::A disruptor blast destroys a branch inches from Marshal's head. Behind the team is two Gem'hadar.:: ALL>The next one will be through your mid-section. Surrender. ::he goes to reach for his communications device.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He turns around, shaken by the close call. He has nothing in his hand but his tricorder. He drops it.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::hears the distrupor blast::
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::he spins and fires at the Gem Hadar that nearlt took Marshall's head off:: Surrender that
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::Jumps to the side and fires at the enmey with two pahaers::
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She looks behind her and points her weapon towards the two Gem'hadar.:: [Gem'Haddar] I do believe you are out numbered.
Shran113: ACTION>The enemies fall but the weapons fire brings the sound of more guards running toward the area.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>Apparently there were sentries patrolling the swamp.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>Take cover now
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::takes cover behind a thicket of trees::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::he brings the phaser rifle from behind his back and winds the strap in his arm, holding it tight in his grip and takes cover behind a thick swamp tree.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::jumpd up in a tree::
Shran113: ACTION>The 5 Gem'Hadar guards coming storming into the thicket where they eard the sound of weapons fire. 4 more join them.
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO> Itd getting good noe
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She takes cover in some thinkets nearby.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::he opens fire taking one down as he comes charging into the thicket.::
Shran113: CO>CNS>Yes, but I think the meaning of stealth is lost on my crew.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > self > Oh chit ::he sees the 5 ugly dudes, then 4 four joining the 5 ::he unholsters his rifle and tries to take some out::
Shran113: ACTION>The Gem'hadar guards dig into the swamp land and take cover, returning the federation weapons fire.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > AT > Anyone got any grenades?
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::: Quitly moves throug the trees::
STUF TLar: [XO] [MCO] Take some of your men to keep them occupied while I go into the compound. I'll take Collins with me. ::She returns fire at the Gem'haddar as she goes futher into the thicket.::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO> looks taht way Sir
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He inches further back behind the tree as the disruptor blasts start to chip away at his cover. he returns fire when he can but can' tell what he hits.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO> ::takes some men and they fire down on the enemy::
Shran113: ACTION>Few of the Gem'hadar lay down cover fire as the rest begin an attempt to flank around the four man away team.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>Maybe we should fall back to a better position.
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She fires at the ones that were attacking Collins to give him some room to escape.::
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::fires at a Gem'Hadar reaching where he thinks the XO is hiding::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::Sees them trying to Flank fires at them::
ST NPC01: GRD>::A gem'hadar falls onto Aidan from behind a thick growth of plants, with a dagger drawn trying to plunge it into his heart.::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO>Supprising how fast and quite Clyde moves
Shran113: ACTION>The MCO's fire draws attention from the gem'hadar they switch targets from Collins to him. Concentrating fire.
STUF TLar: [XO] [CSCI] Fall back towards my position.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Once the pressure eases up he gets a bead on the flanking force and rolls a grenade toward them. in the confusion of its explosion he falls back to the XO.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::drops out of the tree at the last second tossing a grenade at them and laying flat::
Shran113: ACTION>The two grenades go off, stunning several of the enemies, including those trying to flank around the team.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > Self > oomph Gem'hadar > man, you're heavy ::feels the knife trying to slip into his padded clothes:: Gem hadar > My heart is fine right where it is thank you ::hits the dude in the head with his rifle butt::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::he reaches the commander.::XO>Reporting as ordered.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::opens fire on the stund guards::
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She nods towards the direction that they need to go.:: [CSCI] Lets go. [MCO] Try to hold them off.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>XO>well do Ma'am
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>Aye, ma'am. ::he follows after the commander, firing sparingly while on the run.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::tries to roll the Gem'Hardar off him
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::firs at the other guard backing up and lifts Aidan up:: TAC> no sleeping
Shran113: ACTION>the gem'hadar struggling with Ensign McKenzie is knocked off him by the MCO's shot, but more fire is coming his way as more gem'hadar forces move to join the first squad.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>TAC>fall back to the others now
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::is lifted up by the gorilla:: MCO > Sleeping? I was attacked and nearly speared
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She making her way towards the compound.:: [CSCI] Lets see if they have a back way. It is usually the least guarded.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>Aye, ma'am
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::When Greathouse let's him go, he'll catch up to the others::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::moves into the tick and dissappears::
Shran113: ACTION>Two gem'hadar bar the way to teh outposts back entrance.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::Watches for the other guards::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>CO>were did clyde go?
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She ducks down behind the thicket close to the back entrance.:: [CSCI] We have two of them guarding it. ::She beings to us the tricorder to scan for more guards.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He rolls his last grenade out betwee the two guards.::
Shran113: ACTION>The grenade goes off stunning the two sentries. The tricorder shows the coumpound to be surprisingly empty as most of the garrison has emptied into the forest in search of the away team
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::works his way to the others in the ticket::
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She cautiously makes her way to the entrance.:: [CSCI] It is odd for the who thing to be empty.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>Don't look a gift horse in the mouth i guess. ::he follows the XO.::
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::he quietly follows the XO and Collins::
Shran113: ACTION>A shot from the outlying swamp strikes Collins in the back. He gets knocked down. The system registers him as dead and transports him off the holodeck.
Shran113: ACTION>More gem'hadar follow the shot and begin to make thier wya back to the compound after the away team.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::he takes the shot in the back. It hurst but doesnt kill. The next thing he knows he is outside the holodeck.::NOIP>SO this is heaven.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>:::waites quity for the enmey to show::
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > TNIP > Yikes ::he spins tries to locate who shot collins:: XO > looks like we lost Collins, commander
STUF TLar: [XO] [TAC] Looks that way. And also looks like we will have company.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > XO > Yeah, as if we need anymore of those ugly brutes breathing down our necks
STUF TLar: [XO] [TAC] + [MCO] We need to take out the outpost and quickly.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > XO > Agreed. Since this place is empty, we should go in and start taking the place apart
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>+T+XO> yes Ma'ma ::quicly enters the outpost ::and closes the door::
Shran113: ACTION>Disruptor blasts ricochet off the closed door. A vorta escorted by three Gem'hadar are around the next corner. They open fire the moment the first sight of the away team peaks out.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::hits the floor tossing a grenade at them:: Fire in the hole
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::followed the MCO and XO in, but them pulls the XO back before she has her pretty little head shot off, also at the fire in the hole call::
Shran113: ACTION>The stun grenade goes off knocking out the remainder of the bas guards.
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She steps back as the gernate does off.::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>::walks over to them and shoots the guards in the head::
Shran113: ACTION>One of the gem'hadar groans awake and fires his disruptor. It hits the MCO in the back. He disappears from the holodeck and appears next to the CSCI.
Cylde Greathouse: MCO> Crap missed one
Marshal Collins: CSCI>MCO>Hey... welcome
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > LLhe turned the corner just as the MCO is hit, he quickly fired at him as the MCO was taken out::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>CSCI> hey I think I missed one
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::fired at the Jem'Hadar, that is::
CindyLeeMcKenzie: CNS>::Laughs::CO> bet Clyde is mad
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::turns back to the XO:: XO > looks like it's just you and me then
Shran113: ACTION>Behind them they can hear a small explosion and then a clank as the back door falls in.
Shran113: The next sound is the sound of boots clattering against the metal hallway as enemy soliders come flooding back into their base
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::hears the explosion. He turned toward the rear with his rifle raised:: XO > Go, commander! I'll try and hold them off!
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>CSCI> who you thinks next
STUF TLar: [XO] ::She quickly goes where the main computer is and begins to download informtion.::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He smiles.::MCO>Betting my time off... Aidan... hands down
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::He fires his rifle at a few, then falls back, or rather forward., towards the main comuter room, firing all the way::
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>CSCI> I agree ::Laughs::
Shran113: ACTION>The Information downloads just as Aidan comes running through the door. the XO distracted by the download catches a blast. She disappears out of the holodeck.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>NOIP>Damn...
Cylde Greathouse: MCO>CSCI> we were wrong
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::fires at a few more Jem'Hdar then takes a pot shot at the main computer
AidanMcKenzie UF: ::
Shran113: ACTION>The computer takes the blast and shorts out. the lights go dead as the gem'hadar come flooding into the room, yelling for Aidan to surrender.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::he drops to the floor in the dark and tries to take a few more out before he is taken out for good::
Shran113: ACTION>The gem'hadar fire, and the simulation ends.

AidanMcKenzie UF: badly
Shran113: ACTION>The fighting is an instense melee of ships with barely room left to maunver between broken and burning ships. One of the Jem'Hadar ships breaks off the attack nearly disabled. As the other comes around to make another run on the Aryes it explodes under fire of the USS Franklin.
AidanMcKenzie UF: Tac > ::was about to target the ship coming around when he saw it explode into a ball of fire. Instead, he targets the ship trying to get away and sends a couple torpedos after it, aiming for the engineering section::

Aidan McKenzie: ( i was using tactical sensors but ok )
Shran113: I know, but sensor information is operations job. This is why we are training. I understand you have tactical sensors but wait till it is a tactical situaiton
Aidan McKenzie: ( gotcha )
Shran113: ACTION>the ship drops out of warp as the sensors identify the ship. It is a Borg sphere.
Aidan McKenzie: Ops > =T= CO, AXO > Vessel is dropping from warp. It is a borg sphere ::a growl is inserted with the last bit of the report::
Aidan McKenzie: ( wrong windo.. )
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> ::Exiting the room and watching the screen:: I suppose that outrunning them is quite out of the question then. ::Takes her seat::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>:Puts his men on alert::
Shran113: CORRECTION> Again Mr. McKenzie, sensor information is an operations (or sometimes science) job
Aidan McKenzie: ( understood but I meant to report that as Ops.. )
cindyleemckenzie: CNS> ::Goes and checks on sicbay ::
Shran113: ACTION>The sphere is hailing the Aryes
Clydegreathous: CSEC>CO> I have security and Marines on standby
Fetch Storm: Ops > CO > That depends if they wish to fight or not. They are hailing us ::sees the indicator come on for an incomming hail::
Shran113: CORRECTON> (this is a tricky one) Communications is actually a Tactical job
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CO > Looks like they want to talk.. incomming hail
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Let's hear what they have to say, although I doubt it can be anything good.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CO > With the borg.. probably not. Most likely something about assimilating us ::he then taps the key, transferring hail to main viewscreen::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Looks at the main view screen::
ST NPC01: BORG>+T+ARYES>We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::mutters:: NOIP > see what I mean..
Fetch Storm: Tac > ::ears lay back, a defiant growl coming from him::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>+T+SEC>MAR> Set weapons to alternating frequinces
Fetch Storm: * OPs
Marshal Collins: HELM>::Collins slides into the helm position and quickly familiarizes himself with the controls.::
Shran113: ACTION>The sphere cuts the channel and begins to move into firing range of the Aryes.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> We know all their common weaknesses, do any of them apply here?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CO > They're in bound, trying to move in for the early kill.. In my experiances, they learn to adapt rather quickly
Shran113: ACTION>The borg fires on the Aryes. Since the shields and weapons are not up the initial attack rocks the ship and deals damage to the vulnerable hull.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::grumbles and curses, as he brings shields up and weapons to bear::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>+T+SEC>MAR> Take up boarding party postions
Shran113: CORRECTION> (though not really), Mr. McKenzie, you did the right thing to raise the shileds but normally wait for the captain's orders to power up any of those two systems (such as Yellow Alert or Red Alert)
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::feels the ship rock:: MED> All right perpair for posable wounded
Aidan McKenzie: ( might help if she were quicker with the orders.. lol )
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Red alert, begin evasive and run through the tactical proctocols. It's just possible this shpere hasn't encountered others and hasn't received shared information.
Shran113: ACTION>Before the shileds were raised decks begin reporting in that borg drones are appearing in critical areas of the ship
Clydegreathous: SEC>MAR> ::Starting fighting the borg as they beam on::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::A Marine group taake postion in sickbaay::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::activates red alert and now the weapons systems:: CO > Evasives aren't my area, commander. We also have intruder alert.
Shran113: =====PAUSE SIM=====
Shran113: I just want to stop here a moment to assess
CmdrHelenGrace: (Some one has to have Helm
Clydegreathous: ::AA::
Marshal Collins: (Im on helm)
cindyleemckenzie: ::AA::
Aidan McKenzie: ::AA::
Fetch Storm: ::AA::
Shran113: Basically I want to look at whats happening
Shran113: Orders have been given and everything should have something to do. That means you are all free to sort of take control of your own areas and embellish a little.
Shran113: HELM and TAC have been ordered to give evasive manuevers and can begin making descriptions of what they and the ship are doing. I should no longer have to really do that unless I have to interject something critical. Try to keep things simple, but have fun with it, and dont go overboard.
CmdrHelenGrace: (Critical? Like we're all dead?)
Shran113: CSEC can start describing what is happening with his men as they engage the borgs on ship. Again keep the descriptions simple and I should only need to jump in with CRITICAL (= SL altering actions). Again use discretion
Shran113: OPS and CENG should begin to start coordinating on damage and can begin assigning teams, making damage assessments (keeping things within reason) and trying to describe what is going on.
Shran113: Also OPS can coordinate with CMO (or CNS) to assess casualties and wounded... and OPS should also coordiante with anything else the other stations might need, such as more power to shields, engines, internal sensors, forcefields, etc
Shran113: And operations montiors all power control for the ship as well as acts as the engineering coordinator when the CENG is not on the bridge
Shran113: Now like I said to everyone do not feel afraid to take some creative control BUT I cannot stress enough to keep it within reason and if you ever have a question abotu what might or might not be appropriate always ask the person guiding the SL (in this case me) over IM
Shran113: lets keep going and see how we do.
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
Marshal Collins: HELM>CO>Understood, ma'am, evasive manuvers, pattern gamma three. ::Collins jukes the ship in a tight arc as he tries toa void the borg weapons fire.::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::They open fire on the borg each time they fire the weapons change frequinces:: Hold them off boys
Fetch Storm: Ops > Begins to asses damage from the first strike, re-routing power to damaged hull and shields. Begins to coordinate with Engineering to send repair teams to damaged areas, bypassing the borg::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::THey start reciving wounded minor injorys from the ship being attacked::
Marshal Collins: HELM>::The Aryes feels slughish to his commands. He taps in a new pattern, but the manuvering engines are lagging.:: OPS>Fetch I need more power to thrusters. Can you spare any?
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::gets a shot off to return fire to the borg, before Collins went for evasives::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Ops> Damage report? How many drones are abaord? What areas are affected?
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::A team engae the borge at engineering the fight is heavy::
Fetch Storm: Ops > ::his clawed fingers fly over the controls, rerouting a little power to the manuevering thrusters:: CO > Borg are in Engineering and some in sickbay, there is damage to deck 10-12, 13 and 16. I have sent engineering teams to repair the damage
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Wounded Sec start coming in with phaser/disruptor burns::
Shran113: Excellent Ops
Shran113: (But dont ignore Helms call for more power)
Fetch Storm: ( i didn't )
Clydegreathous: CSEC>:: THey back up as they keep fireing a sec goes down the others drag him back::
Fetch Storm: Ops > CO > Aft shield generator is also damaged. Shields down 60% in that area. An Engineering team is en route
Shran113: (Yes you did, that was my mistake, but it also never hurts to give an audiable aknowledgement whenever you do something like that to.)
Fetch Storm: ( Fetch Storm is not one to talk that much.. ask Helen. lol )
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Sci>Tac> Apart from taking them out one at a time, we need some options. Suggestions?
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::At ME they fight the Borg takeing 3 down but more come:: WE got protect ME
Marshal Collins: HELM>::Collins gets the power boost from ops and throws the ship into a Delta Eight manuver, narrowly avoiding the random firing patterns of the borg. He swings around the backside of the sphere hoping to give tactical a better shot at their opponents.::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CO > How about sleep gas? ::fires off a shot from the torpedos as Collins swings back around to the Borg's back side::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>MED> Get him to a biobed ::checks on a pationet:: TOss this one to the side hes dead
Marshal Collins: HELM>CO>We might be able to infect the borg with a momentary cold-ware virus. They will adapt to it in minutes, but it may give us enough of a chance to escape
Fetch Storm: Ops > ::gets a report of injuries on deck 16:: =T= CNS > medical teams to deck 16. reports of wounded
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::THey fight near the Armory::
Shran113: ACTION>One of the borg drones in engineering attempts to infect the warp engine with nanites.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS+T+OPS> I'll get a team their were swampt
Fetch Storm: Ops > =T= CNS > Understood ::to the captain:: CO > Warp power is fluctuating. Borg attemtpting to compromise warp chamber
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Rapitly fires at the borg by the warp core:: Becarefull not to hit the core ::runs up and slams his should into it::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Helm> How quickly can it be done? Tac> How do you suggest it be administered so that it may be effective on a cybernetic system?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>MED> GEt a team to deck 16
Shran113: CORRECTION> Mr. Storm when it comes to something that critical it is best if you inform the section commander directly of the danger, in this case, Mr. Greathouse, but he is already on it.
Fetch Storm: Ops > ::shifts report to Clyde of the borg trying to infect the warp core::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Ops> ::Nods grimly:: Let's hope Major Greathouse can hold them off.
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Rolls over slams his rifel into the borgs eye and fires::
Shran113: ACTION>The borg near the warp core goes down uner the blows of Major Greathouse
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > CO > I'm really not sure, maybe something that would infect their cybernetic systems?
Clydegreathous: CSEC>I hate the Borg ::Fires at it:: I got better things to do than fight you
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>It shouldn't take too long. A cold ware virus is a basic template virus. We basically alreayd have it designed it just wont be specifically adapted for borg tech, but it should buy us a few moments. I can transmit it via the deflector disk as a small burst transmision
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>MED> Get that crewmen in here
Shran113: ACTION>The borg sphere hits the Aryes full on in a vicious attack that pentrates the ship's shields. The Aryes rocks under the attack and multiple systems go down
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> CSCI> Do it then. If we can do it enough times, we might at least get out of here alive.
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Gets up but gets knocked back down::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::SIckbay lights flick as the ship is hit::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Understood. ::He stands from the console and gives control over to a nearby ensign.::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::is thrown back with the combination of the borg ramming the ship, and tactical going critical and sparking::
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Gets back up and kicks a Borg before one of his men shot it::
Shran113: CORRECTION>Now Mr. Collins just left the HELM position and gave it away to another NPC as he should. For the purposes of this Sim, the helm functions no longer become critical to describe. So no one else needs to take it over
Fetch Storm: Tac > ::grunts as he is thrown from Ops. landing on aall fours. As he gets back up, Ops goes down:: CO > I've lost operations control
Clydegreathous: CSEC>How many of them are their
Shran113: Operations or Tactical will only need to take over the helm position if they are specifically asked by the CO, and vice versa. it will always depend on how critical the missing station is to the overall storyline
Clydegreathous: CSEC>::Gets reports from his men all over the ship::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Collins is thrown down as the deck shudders below his feet. As he falls his smacks his head on a nearby console and balcks out.::
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::A med team gets to deck 16 and start treating the wounded::
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::gets up, abeit a bit slowly, his left shoulder and leg protesting. He goes to check tactical systems:: CO > Forward shields gone, forward torpedo tubes are shot, phasers banks 2 and 3 are off. Shall we throw some rocks at them now?
Shran113: =====END SIM=====
Marshal Collins: ::AA::
Clydegreathous: ::AA::
Aidan McKenzie: ::AA::
cindyleemckenzie: ::AA::
Fetch Storm: ::AA::
CmdrHelenGrace: ::Just dies and gets it over with::
Shran113: Very good everyone. I think everyone picked up on all this very quickly and I hope you can see how it will really up the storylines. I escpecially liked what was happening at the end with tactical and operations. You took my hint about critical damage and really did well with it
Shran113: ups*
Aidan McKenzie: maybe too well?
Shran113: A few things. Collins went down (which is he perogative as a character.) That means someone would need to notice him and call sickbay. It also means that if you choose to get injured you have to understand you will stay injured probably for the rest of the sim
Shran113: Use that sparingly
Shran113: Also, one thing I wanted to cover but did not get a chance (and I cannot say this enough)
Shran113: ANY OFFICER ON DUTY ON THE BRIDGE unless you are a marine standing guard SHOULD NOT BE ARMED WITH ANY TYPE OF WEAPON
Shran113: unless otherwise ordered by the CO
Shran113: Now are there any questions?
CmdrHelenGrace: ::RH::
Shran113: Yes, Captain
CmdrHelenGrace: I disagree. In general , I feel that anyone who wishes to be injured should first check to make sure they aren't needed for anything elsse critical before doing so.
Shran113: I think that may depend on the severity of the injury. It would be a good courtesy to check with the person in charge first, but sometimes a phaser graze or a flesh wound are not nessecarily critical
CmdrHelenGrace: As Collins was injured
Clydegreathous: lol thats why i have NPC get hurt unless action \ed
Shran113: Also it depends on the situation itself. A bridge that is exploding around us, I would expect at least a few casualties, but getting critically injured while walking down a normal hallway is a little ridiculous
CmdrHelenGrace: Well since he was our only hope just then, I hould be kissing the center seat goodbye!
CmdrHelenGrace: should
Shran113: However, I see Commander Grace's point. If it is an incpacitiating injury, I would check with the CO first via IM, and see what they say
Shran113: Also, injuries down through SL ACTIONS as always override everything else
Shran113: down = done
Shran113: Are there any other questions
Clydegreathous: No SIr
Marshal Collins: no sir
cindyleemckenzie: No Sir
Aidan McKenzie: No, sir
Shran113: Excellent I am hoping this new level of simming will really start to seperate the Aryes from the rest of the pack and ensure that we all are contributing to the richness and fullness of the experience
