066 - The Great Escape

[bythe_books]

[Text; Filtered to: Kirk, Sgt. Howie, Tosh, Martha, McCoy, Tommy, Chekov, and the Doctors]
We need to evacuate everybody into the Dining Hall, as soon as I give the word. A contingent of Security will be heading through Level 3, presumably, to get to the Queen. Hopefully, this'll distract the Borg long enough for everyone to get to the Dining Hall safely.

Once there, we will be barricading all entrances, so it is absolutely vital that you take a head count before and after you get your people to the Dining Hall. We have to keep this neat and orderly, so no panicking, no running off in other directions, and don't let anybody try to be a hero. Remember, there are two stairwells on every floor-- one at each end of the corridor-- so if something is blocking your way, proceed through the corridor and try the other stairwell.

I don't know if there are enough weapons to go around, but if you have the means, arm yourselves as soon as possible. We may not be able to stop them, but we can at least try to slow them down.

NOTE: Be careful who you talk to/how your filter your communications. We don't have a complete list of who's been taken, so as of now, it's best to discuss evacuation plans either in person, or within a very tight, secure list. If they find out the plan, we're... well. We're fucked.

Here's the situation so far:
LEVEL 1: This is our destination. Martha, I'd like you to take this floor. We're going to need a doctor, so I don't want you to stray too far from the Dining Hall. Chekov, can you help secure the Dining Hall? I'm about to bring a prisoner over; he'll need to be watched.

LEVEL 2: The Infirmary. If supplies haven't been gathered, they need to be now. Given its close proximity to Level 1, I want somebody with minimal training and/or no weapon to take this floor and move fast. Tommy, can you take this one?

LEVEL 3: As of right now, consider Level 3 the most dangerous floor. This is the Queen's base of operations, so we need to send only our most capable and best-armed to round up whoever's left here. Everybody else, avoid it at all costs. Captain Kirk, would you do the honours?

From here on, we need to send people through the remaining levels based on their training and experience. Remember: the further away from Level 1, the more dangerous the evacuation will be. You'll have to travel the furthest and be sure to pick up any remaining stragglers who got lost along the way. I can take Level 7. Any other volunteers?

LEVEL 4: ? Sgt. Neil Howie Sam Tyler

LEVEL 5: ? Toshiko Sato

LEVEL 6: ? Dr. McCoy

LEVEL 7: Sam Tyler Sgt. Neil Howie

And if all else fails... Doctor, is there any way to take your ship off the Barge?

I got the supplies from the Infirmary, enough for what gets thrown at us the next few days I'll wager. Alex Krycek hasn't been assimilated but he tried to attack me so I wouldn't call him a trustworthy companion.

Might as well take a level- I'm not a cut throat but I have a phaser and enough training. As for the number I'll leave that up to qualification. I'll take six if you need it.

Good, that's one step down. Think you've got time to drop them off before the evacuation? Just in case

As for Krycek, I think our best bet is to cuff him somewhere in the dining hall. Hopefully, we won't have too many other defectors, because between the Sergeant and myself, that's only... two pairs of cuffs.

Got it; you're on Level 6.

I'll make time.

He's still out like a light in the Infirmary, at the moment I don't think he's too much of a threat. He doesn't have any weapons and the only reason he attacked is because these god forsaken drones apparently have a deal for grabbing up Starfleet personnel.

Thanks.

Great, just what we need, another reason for some of the Inmates to betray us... Alright, I'm on my way to get him now.

I can take a higher floor. I have a couple of weapons that I don't think the Borg will have encountered before - I know they adapt quickly, but like you said, we can't hope to do any more than slow them down right now anyway.

Just tell me what I need to do.

And...I think we have to assume that they know everything we know. If the Queen has control of the Barge then it's highly likely she also has access to all communications, and possibly some means of surveillance.

Will Level 5 work for you?

When the Master took over, he disabled all filters and private functions. Far as I know, that hasn't happened... yet. I don't know if that makes any difference, though, since she's a very different sort of creature.

But the journals aren't safe anyway, not with some of the Inmates we have here. I think the best thing to do right now is go to the designated level and prepare everybody in person. It'll be dangerous, with these things running around, but we don't have too many choices. If you know for certain who lives there, you could try to send a message out to them individually.

because I'm slow - FILTERED, DAMMIT.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I have no real arms, but that's not a problem.

Do we have a full list of everyone on those floors available? Security took one, didn't they?

Just so we can make sure we've got everyone. Or at least everyone who hasn't already gone to one fate or another.

Oh, and maybe it'd be worth someone else looking into getting enough things to barricade a door together. Perhaps another source of light too, if they decide to cut that off. If they can.

Can you take Level 4?

I dunno-- it's as complete a list as we've got, but even then... it doesn't have everybody.

We've got the tables and chairs in the dining hall; they're pretty heavy. As for the source of light... hm. We can get fire from the stove, but I don't know about candles or anything. I've got a flashlight, myself. I'll be sure to bring it.

Re: FILTERED FOREVER

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Can do.

Fair point. We should have a fair idea of numbers, anyway.

I'll bring mine and...starting a fire is possibly not the best idea for a lot of reasons. But would the pre-19th century people have candles? Admittedly, all three or four of them. If it comes to burning things, then we'll have to.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I'd be glad to.

Tosh is right. Maybe they don't know now but when everyone starts running in one direction, they'll figure it out. Tommy and Martha, you two are going to have to be able to defend the dining room if it comes down to that until the next group shows up.

Filter

[bythe_books]

Yeah, that's the problem... I'm banking on Security to act as a distraction-- hopefully, their numbers aren't so high that they can afford to send more drones out from the fight. Not that it'll matter for long; they're bound to find out quickly.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

From one it sounds like it, only takes one one of them to do a significant amount of damage.

I'd hate to digress to something like a secret knock but we might have to.

Re: Filter

[toldastory]

We'll hold her as long as we need too.

Filter

[remarkablyblunt]

As Martha says. We'll defend it as long as necessary.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I don't know. She's not working that well at the moment. However, I think that I can get her working if needed.

Same Filter

[bythe_books]

Can you at least get her to the dining hall, for now? If things start to go-- If it looks like we're not gonna make it, I need you to round up everybody you can and take them away from the Barge.

Same Filter

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I can try. I should be able to muster enough power to make her go a few halls down.

Filter

[thetroublewithv.livejournal.com]

Ah, I can try to get there within possibly two minutes, sir. I have a phaser, but not a lot of training in full combat. Is there special protocol running? Anything?

Filter

[bythe_books]

Unfortunately, no, we don't really have any set protocol for this sort of thing. Right now, the most important thing is to make sure that anybody in the dining hall does not leave, unless they are part of the evacuation party. Once everybody is in the dining hall, we'll need to barricade the entrances-- the tables should be heavy enough to do it.

Re: Filter

[thetroublewithv.livejournal.com]

Standard evacuation, OK. I can do that. Удачи, and the dining area will be safe as long as I can manage it.

Filter - threadjacking youuu

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's the same as a red alert, Ensign. You just have to keep in mind that no one besides me or Doctor McCoy knows exactly what to do in that kind of situation. Help them out. Keep everyone as calm as you can. When we all get down there, we'll figure out the next step.

Filter - oh noes.

[thetroublewithv.livejournal.com]

That is what I was thinking, Captain, but thank you for clearing up. I'll be there shortly.

Have you ever heard of these Borg before? They're asking about Starfleet.

Too bad she got all that shit about carrying a gun. Heh.

[toldastory]

I'm heading there now. I have some medical supplies, but I'm unarmed.

Filter

[remarkablyblunt]

Certainly, sir! I shall see to it immediately.
