Mission 4: "When Science Turns to Chaos"

[John Moore]

John began pulling himself up out of the jeffreys tube hatch, but then rose a lot quicker and higher than he should, his feet dangling above the ground. In front of him was a tall creature with it's claw on the top of John's head. The creature seemed to be looking at him curiously, it's head tilted to it's side. Various other monstrosities were gathered around too, looking on curiously.

John yelled and, sticking the nozzle of his rifle into the side of the creature's head, fired, blowing it's head off. As he did so, the creature became limp, falling backwards into a couple of it's fellows, and John fell back into the jeffreys tube feet first, almost landing on another Marine. Vaulting back up into the open, he crouched by the hatch opening while firing at the creatures, creating a safe exit point for his men.

[Balkazar]

"More like a much needed promotion." Balkazar mumbled.

The captain gave Ensign Dolan a order to close to rift as soon as the Iroquois comes trough

=/\= Dolan, close the rift as soon as the Iroquois comes trough =/\=

[Raszagal]

Raszagal took a hard corner around a junction in the corridor and found herself in the armory, right where she wanted to be. She grabbed a hand phaser and attached it to her belt on the left side, opposite of her khala. She then grabbed a Type 3 assault rifle and began making her way to find an officer in charge.

(OFF: Type 3 assault rifles are the rifles used in ST: First Contact by the Enterprise crew against the Borg.)

[Balkazar]

((Im on the bridge http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>))

"Yes, Captain." was the only thing Balkazar said as he left the bridge for the shuttlebay.

<Few minutes passed and Balkazar entered the shuttle bay and saw what marines he had on the ship putting equipment into the flyer>

"Hows it going, Lobo?"

=^= "Simpson and Cameron, report to the shuttlebay and bring your gear.  We are on standby and if they need us to go into the rift I dont want to waste anytime.  Balkazar out." =^=

[Balkazar]

"Thank you for respecting our orders, Master Tech.  Your companion wont be harmed, you have our word on that." the sargeant said as they escorted Raz to the Brig and was put behind a lvl 10 force field, then 2 marines stood guard while the other 2 left to patrol the ship.

[Lobo_Negro]

*Looks back and notices Dolan...*

Ensign... get up here with me on point.. Im not exactly the best with TriCorder readings, and I need you to help me interpret what Im seeing so we dont walk into an ambush."

[Techerakh]

"Come, Raszagal. You have training to complete."

The two Gallifreyans leave the marine barracks to begin Raszagal's psi-training.

[Lobo_Negro]

*Lobo motioned for Moore to join him.*

"OK SSgt,  I need a platoon Sgt and you're it until you're dead or I find somebody better.  Col Balkazar has placed me in charge of a new unit based on the United States Navy SEALs.  I need recommendations for a 2nd Lt.  You know the Marines here nearly as well as Eastwood and Balkazar, so Im asking for your opinion.  I also want you to hand pick two people one from Star Fleet, one from the Corps to work on SEAL Team 1 with the two of us.  I leave who up to you.  You're the SNCOIC for ST-1, youve got about as much combat experience as I do and I need strong people to back me up.  As for the mission ahead, we are to remain on call here in the MSB until the Colonel calls for us.  The sooner we have those people the better."

[Balkazar]

<Then the entire ship rang with a red alert noise, Balkazar was standing nearby watching his marines scramble under the confusion.  Balkazar then released the button and still watched everyone scramble>

[Jeroen Bode]

"Not yet Lieutenant, we'll wait until we start up the generator"

=/\= Colonel Balkazar, get you men ready. I want Marines posted on every deck =/\=

[Techerakh]

"It would be quite a long story. In any case, I'm here on business. I'm sure, judging by your soldiers' immediate response, that you are familiar with Raszagal, my former apprentice. She was coerced into aiding the Heraan in their war with my Order and with Starfleet. Well, she has finally accepted the error of her ways, and seeks a way to atone. The Council refuses to so easily accept her into the Order again, but she has proposed another way. If she cannot fight as a Templar again, she wishes to fight alongside your marines. I am here to acquire your approval in this matter."

[Lobo_Negro]

"Computer, Location of Colonel Balkazar."

"Colonel Balkazar is currently located in the Amory."

*Lobo exited his quarters carrying his PADD with a copy of his proposal and medical clearance to report back to duty.  Lobo had been ordered unfit for duty after he'd spoken in a bizarre language in sickbay.  Lobo quickly made his way to the Turbo Lift.  

"Marine Barracks."

*The turbolift doors opened and Lobo walked out, almost Jogging.*

"Damnit.. where the HELL is the Marine Armory."

*Computer Responds*  "Main Marine Armory is located here.  Follow the red indicators located in the bulkhead"

*Lobo looked at the diagram, and jogged down the corridor following the red indicator lights. Lobo turned the corner at nearly a dead run as the door opened from the armory and Colonel Balkazar walked out. Lobo skidded to a stop nearly running the man over.*

"There better be a DAMNED good reason you almost knocked me over Lieutenant, because if there's not, Im gonna knock YOU over."  *Balkazar glared at Lobo.*

*Lobo snapped to attention, handed the Colonel his PADD and reported in.*

"Sir, Lieutenant Kohime reporting back for duty Sir."

*Balkazar looked at Lobo.*  "Yeah I can see that, still doesnt explain why you tried to run me over LIEUTENANT."

"My apologies Sir, I saw the printouts in my quarters and wanted to get down here before you departed...  I think I have a way for us to bulk up our Marine Contingent here on the Loth, and...  spread the wealth, a bit, shall we say.  While I was confined to my quarters by the Dr, I did some research into ancient earth history and came across what the old United States Navy used to call SeAL.  It stood for Sea, Air, Land Teams... These guys were Special Operations.  They did everything from infiltration behind enemy lines to recon to small team assaults.  I was also thinking about Admiral Janeway's Hazard Team when she was stranded in the Delta with Voyager....  Im thinking we can combine both of these entities into one.  Hazard was a StarFleet operation, and since the SEALs were both Navy AND Marine, I think we can recruit from within the ship.  We have the talent, we just need to figure out who we need and why.  We will need Tactical Officers and Enlisted, Weapons Experts, Demolitions, Explosives, Science and Medical personnel... all Officer and Enlisted ranks.  The bigger pool we have to pull from the better we'll be because WE can choose who we NEED not just who's available.  With these highly trained teams we can send out a small advanced force, maybe 4-6 people instead of entire squads or the whole Battalion.. let them feel the area out first and then send in the maine Marine force, followed by the Starfleet personnel as is SOP now.  Forgive me if Ive overstepped my bounds Sir, I know Im still relatively new but this last Away Mission went south in a hurry and I want to try to help make sure we dont go through that again."

*Lobo moved to Parade Rest as he was attempting to gauge the
Colonel's response to his proposal."



((Sorry I havent posted in so long guys... Ive had alot going on in my personal life and its kinda kept me away from the computer... things should be back to normal now though...... I hope LOL))

[Balkazar]

<Marine Quarters>

"Alright sense thats out of the way, here's the basics's.  You are to remain armed with a hand phaser at all times, I dont care if its war time or peace time you carry it.  You dont take that weapon off unless your dead! or off duty and your asleep, other then that you are to remain armed at all times.  Their are spare suits of armor in the armory for your use so go pick yourself out a battle suit.  Also, your to carry atleast 2 combat knives at all times.  Sense we are in a state of ready action, your to wear your armor at all times as well, EVEN! while your sleep!.  Also, sense your a Private, youll get the worst jobs ever.  Like helping the field medics set up their triages and carrying their equipment.  Understood? Good, now go and get geared up.  The armory is easy enough to find.  Ill be in sickbay if you get lost." Balkazar said as he left the marine quarters for sickbay.

"Captain, I can't send a update to Admiral Julian, the nebula is interfering with our signal"
