Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 05:28 PM

*The teams emerge to the edge of the first and right ahead is the station. It consists of a small, one level brick building. A parking lot is placed behind the building where a few cars are parked. In front of the station is a one way road with one guard by the front traffic light and two more chatting by the building’s entrance. The lights guide the trucks to stop on the scale then leave when the whole process is complete. There are no trucks currently on the scale.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 05:32 PM

*T'Pel noticed a lack of truck, so they must be early. That meant there would need to be stale conversation to stall until the truck did show up. Her stomach churned and she kept pace.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 05:34 PM

*Vale very gently gave T’pel what would be the betazoid equivalent of a pat on the shoulder to help calm her nerves.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 05:35 PM

*"Good thing I am not required to have much in the way of a personality." T'Pel let flitter out of her head.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 05:35 PM

*Max made his way with his group. Taking his time. He had even donned a pair of glasses. With no added benefit though they made him look a little dorky, in accordance to his disguise.* (edited)

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 19-Mar-21 05:36 PM

*He went through every piece of kit he had on him. Double checking everything was up to scratch and that he didn't lose it on the walk here*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 05:36 PM

*”Don’t worry, I’ll just look at anyone who wants to bother you in a threatening manner. My job i to let you do yours or so it seems to them.” Vale thought back.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 05:41 PM

*His walk changes, his disinterest peaks and he seems more concerned with his immediate person than anything else.*

Lt. JG Lylla Sh’avoness 19-Mar-21 05:41 PM

*lyllas glasses fit nicely with her kit. She looked the perfect fit as a human.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 05:42 PM

*Nim put on an air of cool disinterest, good old betazoid defence mechanisms.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 05:43 PM

*T'Pel made her way up to the two guards by the building door,* "Good day, Folks." *And in a move she had obviously practiced, she pulled her badge from her pocket and opened it for them to see,* "The name is Tishae Evelyn Mendoza. I am with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. There is a cargo truck due to come through here that I have been instructed to check." *It was not her intention to dial up the vibe just yet, so she was playing it cool and relaxed.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 05:44 PM

*She stood with her own cluster, putting her hands behind her back as she looked around, making sure her sunglasses were situated properly.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 05:45 PM

*Max pulled out one of the many electronics he had on him. He pulled out a phone of the era and made to look like he was checking emails.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 05:45 PM

*Vale looked briefly at the guards over her sunglasses disinterestedly.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 19-Mar-21 05:46 PM

*Jules watched and listened to everything, He had his arms down beside his waist holding them together*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 05:46 PM

*Mattie sighed quietly through her nose, looking over the guards with vague interest and half-lidded blue eyes.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 05:46 PM

*He leaned over to show his fellow workers a meme.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 19-Mar-21 05:47 PM

*he looked and looked disgusted afterwards* (edited)

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 05:47 PM

*She looked at him and at the meme, raising an eyebrow and simply closing the app in one swift motion before putting her attention back at the guards.* (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 05:48 PM

*Nim shook her head and, brushed some imaginary dirt off her pants.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 05:48 PM

*Vale was focused and silent. Though she took this time to check the surface thoughts of the guards.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 05:49 PM

*Looks a little displeased with the lack of reaction, but moves on with his life.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 19-Mar-21 05:50 PM

*his face looked like he was saying just why?*

Joe Neckbeard BOT 19-Mar-21 05:50 PM

*Being the uppity up start that he was, he stood straighter as he eyed the woman in front of him, a half sneer and half grin planted on his face,* "Oh? Is that so? Mendoza." *He leaned forward and squinted at her badge before looking past her to the others,* "We get a lot of cargo trucks through here. You may need to be more specific.\*

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:27 PM

*A second officer comes up to check out the group of people. Man, there sure are a lot of them.* “All of you are with the Health Depo?”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:28 PM

*Vale nodded silently. She went about checking his surface thoughts.*

Jepsie Jo BOT 19-Mar-21 06:30 PM

*Not far behind the away team, a loaded semi-truck arrived at the weigh station, pulling to a half with a squeak of old overworked break pads, the exhaust off the back puffing out black smoke that only added to the pollution in the atmosphere and the acidic smell on the ground. The driver’s door opened with a slam the moment the truck came to a stop, but the driver didn’t get out yet. Jepsie Jo had something to finish first.* “Now you listen here Hot Rod 69, I don’t give a damn what y’all hauling or what y’all got between the wheels, you cut me off while I’m mergin’ again, I’ma gonna smash you so hard, the insurance agent is gonna call that nasty rig of yours an accordion instead of a truck. You hear me? You better! Hot Momma out!” *A hot momma, Jepsie Jo was certainly not. A permanent grimace was set in stone by the lines of her face, thin greasy blonde hair pulled back into a messy ponytail, and eyes constantly searching for the next target of her ire, mostly other truckers through her beloved ham radio. Her voice, harsh and cracked from years of chain smoking, carried easily over the roar of the semi’s engines.* *Her tirade finished, Jepsie Jo returned her mic to its home on the console almost lovingly, before roughly twisting the key to turn off the truck and hopping down from the cab.* "Who's in charge here?" *She looked around at the fuckton of people milling about.* "I'm on a tight schedule, gotta get through this station."

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 06:31 PM

*Vale could sense that he was wondering why there are so many of them. Last time health came they sent a few, not a whole group. What did they do wrong?...*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:33 PM

*He watched the truck pull up and walks over to Jepsie.* “That would be the manager inside.” *He thumbs towards the building.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:35 PM

*”Drivers hot tempered and going to be pissed but they are starting to wonder what they did wrong. Your authority will work well for now.” Vale thought to T’Pel.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 06:36 PM

*T'Pel returned her badge to her pocket, eyeing Jepsie curiously,* "While you tend to that, I will inspect your cargo before you take off...Hot Mamma." (edited)

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 06:38 PM

*Both guards look at T’Pel then look at each other. One guard steps up to her.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 06:39 PM

*T'Pel turned her green eyes to the guard that stepped forward, and before he could get a word out,* "That is non-negotiable."

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:39 PM

“Ma’am you’re going to need to speak with the manager before we can allow you to do that.”

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 06:39 PM

*She waited for her orders, mostly those that indicated that she was allowed to 'inspect' the cargo.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 06:40 PM

"Then how about you call them out here so Hot mamma and I can efficiently do our jobs." *She cocked a brow, slipping her hands behind her back.*

Jepsie Jo BOT 19-Mar-21 06:40 PM

"The name's Jepsie Jo. That there's my radio name, gotta keep some damn anonymity on the airwaves. All sorts of shits out there. And I ain't letting you touch my cargo until I know who you are." *The big woman crossed her arms over her chest, looking quite sure of her decision, and protective of her truck and it's cargo.*

"As for you," *she turned to the guard,* "Y'all want me to speak to the manager now, or can I pull the rig up and you can weight while I'm chatting?"

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:43 PM

*He looks at T...and the others in the group then Jo.* “You’re free to park the truck on the scale.” *He looks at T.* “You’re going to need to give the manager your paperwork.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 06:46 PM

"Tishae Evelyn Mendoza, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Random inspection, Jepsie Jo." *Her tactic changed, as she felt she could possibly work with Jepsie better if she came off as reasonable and in just as much of a hurry.* *Quirking a brow to the guard, she said nothing and looked back to Jepsie, sweeping an arm for her to go first,* "The manager it is, then. You first, Jepsie Jo."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:48 PM

*Vale noticing what T’pel was doing similarly looked Jo up and down then seemingly satisfied appeared to pay her little attention. Not a threat. In actuality she was keeping a mental eye on the woman as well as everyone else.*

Jepsie Jo BOT 19-Mar-21 06:48 PM

"Naw, gonna pull my rig up to the scale. They always go faster that way." *Jepsie Jo turned and hoped back in her truck, not without a glare at Hill on her way.* "Keep your eyes off it girl, this here's mine. Gonna have to get your own."

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 06:50 PM

"Who says I don't have one already?" *She gave a quick mocking smile before regaining her posture.*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:51 PM

*He nods at Jo then looks at Hill.* “You a truck driver?”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 06:51 PM

*T'Pel gave her a nod, and turned to signal for the rest of them to stay out here, "Do not let her leave. Stun if need be. I am taking the paperwork inside."* "Enjoy the air, fella's." *T'Pel said allowed and headed in through the door.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:52 PM

*Vale wanted to say something about one blond being threatened by another but didn’t. That should be obvious. Vale kept an extra mental note of T’pel and who ever was inside there just in case.* (edited)

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 06:52 PM

"Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not. Maybe I'm your boss undercover. You never know in this line of work, now do you?" *She stayed cryptic for a reason. Mostly to don't give away any info.*

5

Jepsie Jo BOT 19-Mar-21 06:52 PM

"Me!" *She declared with a humph.* "Because I ain't seeing one! Where the hell did you all come from anyway? A clown car? Mine's the only truck here." *She didn't wait for an answer, slamming the door shut and firing up the engine again, driving the short distance over to the scale.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:54 PM

*”Don’t let her get to you Hill...” Vale thought to the nurse.*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:54 PM

“My boss?” *Okay this chick, there’s something about her that doesn’t sit right.* “Can I see some ID miss boss?”

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 06:55 PM

*She got her credentials and showed handed them to him.* "Happy?"

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 06:55 PM

“Joe’s right, where is your car? Did you all walk here?” *Presses a button on his walkie talkie.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 06:57 PM

*”Shit!” Vale thought then said.* “We left it a little way down the road. Something about it getting in the way.” *Vale said calmly.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 06:59 PM

*"We could drop all 3 of them relatively quickly if needs be." She nodded at what Vale said and looked at the guard, extending her hand, asking her credentials back in one simple gesture.*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:00 PM

*He looks over the credentials and looks back at Hill.* “What’s your name? All of you?”

Jepsie Jo BOT 19-Mar-21 07:01 PM

*Her truck now in the proper place, she turned it off and got out again, making sure to lock the door to the cab and check the padlocks on the back before coming back over to the building.* "I'm speakin' to the manager now. Y'all stay out of my cargo. I have manifests and counts of everything!" *With a suspicious glare mainly targeted at Hill, she pushed right through them all and into the building.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:02 PM

"Grace O'Connor." *She answered simply, having chosen a rather Irish sounding last name as Humans tended to have that funny redheaded gene from that specific area.* "Apologies for my trainee, she really doesn't know when to be serious. We're here to work, not horse around." *She looked pointedly at Jasmine before blue eyes leveled evenly at the security guard with a smile.* "Kids." (edited)

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:05 PM

*He thinks over Vale’s comment but says nothing. He’s not that convinced.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:07 PM

“Corporal Ellen Snow.” *Vale said holding out her papers.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:08 PM

“I’m Addison Shaw,” *Nim said, nodding.* “How about you?” *She rested her weight her weight on back leg, giving off the air of someone who’s quite easygoing.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:08 PM

"Minarah Belanov." *She looked at Grace and raised an eyebrow.* "You know I'm right here, right?"

6

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:09 PM

"Sure do, maybe you'll learn something if you get knocked down a peg or two every once in a while."

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:11 PM

“Who?.” *That name sounds strangely Russian!?* “Okay Im going to have to ask you all to step to the side by the building...” *He starts to get very nervous.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:14 PM

*”Damnit Hill...” Vale thought She was easily ready to take down the guard infront of her if needed but that meant someone would have to go into the building and take out the driver and such as well.*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:15 PM

“Everyone up against the wall.” *Stands by his partner.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:19 PM

*”Commander?” Nim thinks to Vale, wondering what they’re supposed to do.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:19 PM

"Excuse me? On what basis! Your trucks are getting inspected on federal orders, you cannot order us 'up against the wall' like this is a prison, **sir.** You **will** treat my associates and myself with respect." *Mattie was an extremely tall woman by 'human' standards, topping out at 6'1", and she was not above using that height to intimidate the guard as she fronted herself in front of the group.* (edited)

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:21 PM

*Pulls out his gun.* “I know who you all are enhanced Russian soldiers! Now get against the wall!”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:21 PM

*Yeah in the war this is exactly what Vale would have done. They would be patted down. “Get into position. They are paranoid and somethings... shit if this doesnt work we need to take them out. Quietly.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:21 PM

"Enhanced Russion sol- Are you out of your MIND? Who let you have a GUN!?" (edited)

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:21 PM

*"Want me to give him a little pat and knock him out?" She thought as she took a step back.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:23 PM

*”Shit yes if you can get close enough I’ll take out the one closest to me as you do we just need someone to take out the neck beard.” Vale looked at the guards like they were insane.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:25 PM

*”I think this is officially going sideways, I can keep their attention on me if need be. All **without** getting shot,” There is something implied in that statement, something Nim hopes Vale understands as a fellow betazoid.* “Jesus dude, chill out,” *Nim grumbled, showing her hands.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:25 PM

*She looked at the officer. "I can shoot him." She looked at the guard, slowly approaching with her hands up.* "Why don't we all calm down here. No-one is going to shoot anyone, ok? How about we try this again?"

2

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:26 PM

*Vale may be looking rather menacing but she used her betazoid abilities to seem like a lot less of a threat.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:26 PM

"*Shit, shit, shit.*" *Mattie hissed internally, tactical training kicking in as her legs tensed, getting ready to throw a foot up and knock the gun out his hands.* "We are Federal Agents and you are impeding an inspection on grounds of make-believe Russian spies? Sir, I ought to have you **sectioned** and your weapon siezed, do you have any idea what sort of malarky you're getting yourself into if you do not *lower your weapons?*"

Security Guard 1 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:28 PM

*He looks at Mattie then at Hill, too scared because he doesn’t want to die or get captured by Russians. Then he hears commotion in the office a shout and it freaks him out so he shoots at Hill.*

Security Guard 2 BOT 19-Mar-21 07:28 PM

“What are you doing Fred!? Backups coming!?”

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:29 PM

*She attempts to dodge the bullet and grab his ankle as she slid away, activating the hypo injector with a highly potent sedative.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:30 PM

*Vale quickly without really even thinking about the practiced motion she took her weapon and shot a dart at the other guard.*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 07:32 PM

*Hill didn’t manage to dodge it, the bullet hit her vest leaving a huge welt before the guard went down.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:33 PM

*Nim felt herself start to panic, she isn’t a combatant. Not by any stretch of the imagination, but she’s a damn good telepath. She sent a powerful mental suggestion to the guards. They’re so tired, perhaps it’s time for a nap?* (edited)

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:34 PM

*Mattie pulled her weapon from the back of her waistline belt that'd been hidden beneath her jacket and pointed it to the ground with both hands, backing up and getting closer to her group. Hearing a shot fire off, she looked around at the faces of her ship mates. Who'd been shot?*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 07:35 PM

*Both guards are now down sleeping on the ground but in the distance the group can hear the sound of sirens. Back up is coming.*

Joe Neckbeard BOT 19-Mar-21 07:36 PM

*Like the Full try hard he is, this was his moment to shine. The time had come for him to single handely save the day with his years of tactical training. He aimed his rifle, and his aim being shit, started firing,* "Die you commie bastards!!!"

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:37 PM

“Should someone slap these two with a sedative so they weren’t knocked out by nothing if they do a chemical analysis?” *Nim suggested meekly, knowing she’s probably in trouble. She felt quite gross having done that but they were shooting.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:37 PM

*She grunted and got up, rubbing the place she got shot before drawing her pistol and firing a single shot .* "No you."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:38 PM

“Thats backup we need to hurry.” *Vale started to shoot at Mr Neckbeard keepin calm and aiming. T’pel “humans called for backup we had to take two guards down. Any better luck?”*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:40 PM

*Mattie quickly followed Vale's lead, back up out of direct fire as fast as her long legs would carry her and shot low, hoping to take a thigh, even a knee.*

Joe Neckbeard BOT 19-Mar-21 07:41 PM

*He wouldn't stand still, managing to dodge, all the while humming his own action music. Sounding like something from Five finger Death Punch, but still unable to hit the broad side of a barn,* "Give up! I have you surrounded!" *Until a shot managed to catch him in the leg, and he went down, the morphine kicking in quickly due to his quickened heart beat.*

5

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:42 PM

“Try Volbeat it’ll work better you Russian asshole.” *Vale said hoping this insane joke might work.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 07:43 PM

*From inside, T'Pel emerged,* "Inside is all clear. Get the transporter enhancers in place, quick."

*After that, she tapped the badge under her jacket to alert Girak of the change in situation.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:45 PM

*She pulled the enhancers out of her arm and tossed them to wach member of her team.* "Let's go!" *She ran to the truck and looked if she could open it somehow.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:46 PM

“Wait! I need half a dose each for those two!” *Nim pointed to the sleeping guards.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 07:46 PM

*Max offered Nim his gun with the sleep darts in with it.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:47 PM

*She carefully dosed them, then handed the gun back and fell in with the others. Her stomach twisted with anxiety, this was bad.* (edited)

Lt. Girak Mayott 19-Mar-21 07:47 PM

*Girak’s voice could be heard to T’Pel.* “Commander, transport the vitamins quickly! We’ve got company coming.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 07:48 PM

"Affirmative. You heard heard him! Move! We need to be gone *yesterday*!" *T'Pel responded.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:49 PM

*Nim obeyed.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:50 PM

“Everybody hurry up I’ll deal with the Russian asshol! He cant hit the back side of a truck!” *Vale kept shooting at the idiot hoping to distract him and knowing he wasn’t really listening to anything anyone was saying but might hear maybe that he was being called a Russian.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:50 PM

*She eventually found the door of the trailer and forced the lock by breaking it via a good punch with her arm. She went inside and placed pattern buffers on the boxes.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 07:50 PM

*Max belayed what he said and ran to help Hill.*

Original message was deleted.

Lt. Girak Mayott 19-Mar-21 07:51 PM

Girak is at the shuttle))

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:51 PM

*Mattie followed close behind, helping Hill as quickly as she could. The last thing they needed was a bunch of humans seeing them transport out of here via the shuttle as a last ditch emergency exit. Gods alive this went bad.*

Joe Neckbeard BOT 19-Mar-21 07:52 PM

*Jo got hit, and dramatically spun before hitting the ground,* "Noooooo..." *snore*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 07:52 PM

*Two armored trucks zooms down the road plowing to the station’s parking lot.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:53 PM

*She tossed some buffers to Mattie and max to help her out.* "Let's round it up!"

Joe Neckbeard *Jo got hit, and dramatically spun before hitting the ground,* "Noooooo..." *snore*

Lt. Girak Mayott 19-Mar-21 07:54 PM

(( Give that guy a medal! ))

Ensign Terzom Vax 19-Mar-21 07:54 PM

(Lmao

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:54 PM

*Nim swore, and turned to see the trucks. She expanded her awareness to try and get a headcount.* “Their backup arrived!”

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:54 PM

*Mattie nodded and quickly affixed the buffers with strong slaps of the adhesive backs onto the metal of the crate. Jasmine was great at this part, if only she'd been able to do this without also speaking.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 07:55 PM

*T'Pel's eyes widened as she ducked behind cover, "Fuck." \*She looked to Vale, "You take point on this one. We only have so many darts."*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 07:55 PM

*Tapping his comms, he spoke to Girak.* "Permission to cause some explosive damage."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 07:56 PM

“Shit!” *Vale said out loud and put away her gun she was going to try to do something to salvage the situation if she could. She ran up to one of the trucks She tried to appear like she was on their side.* “Hell yeah! Backups here guys! We got shot at when we were just doing an inspection!”

Ensign Amatea Janaii 19-Mar-21 07:56 PM

"Fuck yeah!" *Mattie jeered, looking over to Max with a sudden smile as she slapped on the last buffer and retook up her gun.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 07:57 PM

*He grinned and waited for confirmation. His hand was already on his pouch though.*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 07:58 PM

*Nim braced, ready to give another dose of psychic sleepy time to the soldiers if they so much as twitched the wrong way.*

Nurse Jasmine Hill BOT 19-Mar-21 07:58 PM

*She placed her final buffer and looked at the two.* "That's the last of them."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 08:00 PM

*now to see if the new guys were going to buy their story. If not all they had to do was fight their way out to get home. Vale though she had her gun in her hands had it pointed at the ground. If this worked they might get some. More time peacefully. If it didnt work She was going to be the first to be shot at point blank. Betazoids had a little more luck as she could sense when they were about to fire but so close she still could easily be hurt. But it was better than just trying to take out trucks of troops straight up in a firefight.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 08:27 PM

*The trucks stopped and 5 troops jumped out the back with guns raised.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 08:38 PM

“Corporal Ellen snow! I was ordered to escort the inspectors to this weigh station. They separated our head inspector from us and then started firing. We had to take them out.” *Vale said to the five soldiers. She didn’t have much choice and put her hands up. “PLease work please work...” Vale thought knowing no matter what happened next it was up to the others to keep it going. She was just a dumb Corporal after all or thats what they thought.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 19-Mar-21 08:40 PM

"Buy me time please lads'n lasses." *He jumped out and began placing plastic c2 from his pocket pouches next to walls, under a vehicle. Strategically spaced out to cause as much destruction and simoultaniously as little harm as possible.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 08:47 PM

*Presumably has hung back from the group the moment things began to look dicey, opting to stay out of the direct line of sight from the five soldiers that had come forward.*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 08:48 PM

*Two armed officers aimed guns at Vale but didn’t shoot. A guy with a megaphone came out of the car.* “Everyone lower your weapons and surrender. We can do this peacefully.”

*It was repeated in Russian.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 08:52 PM

*He continued to press himself against the wall, using a shard of now broken mirror to peak around the corner at the five soldiers.* *Five soldiers, each with a distance of four feet apart.* *He had three darts, and there was one likely still inside the vehicle.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 08:53 PM

*Well the suspicion was high lets see if she could use it “Oh dont tell me we’re getting captured by fuckin’ commies.” \*She said hopefully though she knew none of them could afford to be captured.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:00 PM

*Now, getting inside the vehicle, and, stealing it, was another option.* *Which would necessitate quick action, and a bit of unspoken teamwork between himself and the Commander.* *He could cross the distance fairly quickly as long as he approached from their blind spot, and employ some CQC in conjunction with the dart gun.* *He would, however need to depend on Vale to take out the other two while he rushed to take out the vehicle.* (edited)

*They would also need to do it under four seconds if he was going to make it to the armoured vehicle.*

*Due to, and only due to the situation, he sent out a very clear thought to be heard by all the telepaths present.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:06 PM

*”Can everybody hear me? Dont speak it think it.” Vale thought to the other members of the away team in the area.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 09:07 PM

*"Affirmative. I am located by the cargo truck."*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:09 PM

*“Vale. I will target six, eight, and nine o’clock. Get seven and five.”* (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 09:09 PM

*Nim took a deep breath. “Loud and clear Commander, I’m also near the truck,”*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:11 PM

*”OK making sure you can hear Altan... is anyone able to take out the last two? I can do it but not without getting hit but they are all focused on me right now.”*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 09:13 PM

*well In for a penny, in for a pound. ”I don’t necessarily have a clear shot, but I can incapacitate the last two.”*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:14 PM

*“I can stretch it if need be. At the end of the day, my heart is not located in the centre mass they have been trained to shoot at.”* (edited)

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 09:15 PM

*The guys become impatient.* “We will give you 10 seconds to comply, or we will be forced to use action. Lower your weapons and surrender.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 09:16 PM

*T'Pel loaded another dart, and prepared to take a shot if need be.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:17 PM

*”Sending in a sleep command takes time. Try to take out seven I’ll try for five. Ready?”*

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 09:19 PM

*”Ready,” She picked seven out of the crowd and waited for Vale to give the order.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:19 PM

*Vale gave no visable indication as she thought to the others “Now!”*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:21 PM

*He moved like some sort of liquid projectile fired from the long barrel of a high caliber sniper.* *The distance between himself and the soldiers was crossed in a second, legs powered by the enhanced by his advanced bio-mechanical upgrades* (edited)

Dr. Nimarah Drex 19-Mar-21 09:21 PM

*Nim pushed the command into the man’s mind, time for him to take a nap!*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:22 PM

*he barrelled into the first soldier he saw, knocking his gun up with his elbow, and firing his dart at the neck of the soldier across from himself, and first he grabbed*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:22 PM

*Vale pivoted quickly letting a dart out of her gun as she levelled it in one smooth move aiming at the soldier.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:25 PM

*he believed he had a two second window for the soldier he had stunned to react, which gave him a second to shoot the other soldier, and a second to react to the soldier still at his back*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 09:26 PM

*Once the men saw movement they all started to fire. Altan took the first one down as a stray bullet nicked his shoulder. Nim took down another, he had no idea what happened. Vale moved but was shot in the chest before taking the guy out. Good thing she too had a bullet proof vest.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:28 PM

*Vale was nocked back by the shot and coughed a few times before sitting up. She was a little winded but the bullet hadnt broken the skin.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:28 PM

*he threaded his hand up into the gun strap of the soldier he had stunned, and pulled him down to the ground in the same moment he fired his second dart* (edited)

*he planned on hitting the ground, rolling over the first soldiers body, and while using him, and his body armour as cover, firing his last dart at another soldier* *if this action was completed, he would strike the first soldier on the back of the head to knock him out.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 09:44 PM

*All the soldiers went down leaving the team alone at last. For now.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 09:44 PM

*Altan stood up, and ran his hand through his hair.* “Are you alright Commander. Did the kinetic dispersion work.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 09:46 PM

*Noticing all the men down, T'Pel came out from beind the cargo truck,* "Are all the emitters in place?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 09:47 PM

“Worked as well as any bullet proof armour.” *Vale said getting to her feet.* “lets check them and get the Vitamins beamed out.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 09:54 PM

*T'Pel walked around the truck, dart gun still in hand and ready to fire,* "The emitters are all in place and ready to work. What is the status with team 3?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:05 PM

*Vale looked to T’Pel impressed* “Stalling till we can get this stuff beamed up.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:07 PM

*Listening to Vale's comm, her brain started working,* "Beam it over, and then we can come back up from behind and take them out. Agreeable?"

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:11 PM

*Vale looked up at T’Pel and put her head to the side in. A kind f hold on gesture.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:13 PM

*T'Pel held, but was sitting on the edge of her seat, so she pulled out her tricorder,* "I have a fix on all the lifeforms."

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:13 PM

“I am going to crash this truck into their truck. I believe this is my course of action.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:14 PM

*T'Pel quirked a brow,* "We can easily walk over and take them by surprise. We need to render them unconscious anyway so they do not see us take off." (edited)

"I still have darts."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:16 PM

“I think the idea is to prevent the soldiers here from following us by destroying their forms of transport.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:16 PM

"No one here should be waking up any time soon."

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:17 PM

*He nods* “I believe the best course of action is to let team 1 and most of team 2 out, to engage the soldiers that are outside the truck. I will crash this one into theirs, which should trap the rest until we leave.”

“Unless there are any of objections from my Commanding Officers.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:18 PM

“Right lets get everyone together! Team 3 needs backup. No time we just need to get out of here.”

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:19 PM

*Is going to take that as no objections*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:19 PM

"Unless you already know how to drive the truck, Commander Azoci is correct. We need to go now."

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:20 PM

“I gave read the instruction manuals, and even in gear one, it is faster than on foot.”

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:21 PM

“It’s also loud and will prevent us from having the element of surprise.”

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:22 PM

“It is a military truck, Commander. It is the perfect disguise.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:23 PM

"There is still an element of surprise with their own equipment, but we do not have time to argue this. It is your dicision, Commander."

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:23 PM

“How many land vehicles have you driven Lieutenant?”

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:24 PM

“I have driven a multitude from our time. I trust in my ability.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:25 PM

*T'Pel was tapping her foot,* "Do it, but if it takes too long abandon it and follow. I am heading over on foot with the rest." *T'Pel motioned to the others and began walking toward the treeline.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:26 PM

“We leave the truck. I’m not scraping you off the roadside after you crash this thing. Come on. “ *Vale followed T’pel.*

Lt. JG Roderic Altan 19-Mar-21 10:28 PM

*It turns out, modern military Humvees run on modern military tech and are automatic transmission*

*however this is no longer relevant*

*Altan, simply nodding in response rather than arguing, takes off, at speed, away from the team, and towards the forest.*

Narrator BOT 19-Mar-21 10:29 PM

*The rest of the team (since some are asleep) follow T’Pel out of there.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Mar-21 10:30 PM

*T'Pel, tricorder in one hand and her dart gun in the other, slip into the forest off the road.*

Cmdr Vale Azoci 19-Mar-21 10:34 PM

*vale held her dart gun following only because T’pelchad the tricorder. She would have rather been in the front to protect them all but just behind and ready to help T’pel was the best idea.*

Narrator BOT 22-Mar-21 11:17 PM

*As the station manager heads out he’s confronted by the station’s guards.*
