In the standoff that was ensuing the last thing Zogozin had expected was someone walking straight towards them with furious intent. He took a step back with the gun still leveled at Azrene’s face.

“I will not permit my people to be abusssed in thiss manner” he said flatly.

Suddenly the tremors they had been experiencing intensified into a full-on earthquake. The whole place started to buck and heave and people scattered, some under tables, some for the exits

Janna took cover as best she could, but given she had been out in the open, she had to dash to find safety.

As the earthquake hit, Kaylee instinctively covered her head with her hands and lowered herself into a crouching position. She looked all around, trying to assess the situation, watching for falling debris. Slowly she made her way over to where Laraan lie. She positioned herself in front of the Heleen to shield her and looked around for the others.
-Kaylee Baxter

Stepping outside Vander presses his com badge as he surveyed the area. =Vander to Athena, what is our status? = Konral asked, they needed more information for sure and this whole mirror universe trip was growing thin for him.

Vander, CoS

The relay in the shuttle replied to his message, =/\= Athena is currently out of range =/\=

“Well… that sucks.” he grumbled as he hit his combadge once more.

=/\= Away team, this is Chief Vander, do you have a situation report=/\= Konral asked, hoping Kaylee or someone would give him a shout as he looked back into the shuttle with a sense of dread and worry.

As the comm came through, it was obvious to Kaylee that this room was no longer safe, debris and dust from the aftershocks continuing to rain down from the ceiling.

=/\= Baxter here, we got hit pretty hard by the earthquake. Beginning evacuation procedures to safer ground. =/\=

Looking around at everybody, she shouted, “All right, everybody out!” She looked around for someone to help her with Laraan. “I need some help here!” She cried.

Julien’s right ear picked the shuttle computer’s reply up inside the shuttle and he knew Stark’s ears would have as well. He looked into Stark’s eyes.
“I don’t like this. It all seems disjointed. This is an away team with a supposed mission, not a leisure cruise, we’re missing leadership here. I hate this feeling of being a puppet of some destiny, a faceless puppet master who whisks us from one universe to the other, expecting us to figure it out while the ship and crew are yet again in mortal danger, oh, and of course the universe as well. I so understand why it makes Ghubi feel helpless and angry. This is not the kind of stuff you sign up to Starfleet for.” he ranted in a low voice, giving Stark a half smile, aware that he was whining. “I guess I still miss command. At least there, I feel like I could actually help her, give her something to lean on.”

  • Julien Smith, doctor

Stark grunted agreement, “This has all the hallmarks of a run-in with Q, but if it was he would have popped up and gloated by now. Whoever these puppetmasters are they have absolutely no idea about the art of buy-in.” He sighed, “I wish the Athena was here, it feels disjointed to be here without her in orbit”.

When the earthquake hit the shuttle, it tilted dangerously, standing on uneven ground as it were. Julien instantly wedged his right leg and arm into the frame of the shuttle hull, stabilizing Stark with his left so he wouldn’t be bounced off. When he saw that Stark had it under controle, he said
“Stay put, I’ll check how serious this is.”

He ran to the console, running a geological and environmental scan to gauge just in how much danger they were. Diplomacy or not, if the landing party was in danger they had to leave.

  • Julien Smith, doctor

Deep cracks were beginning to form in the substrata of the planet and it was painfully obvious from the scan that they were radiating out from the sunken platform where the orb had been stolen from. It was also obvious that because the cracks were radiating out from that point that, short of getting off the planet entirely, that spot by the dais was the safest place on the planet right now.

“I feel like this is the type of thing out of those crazy holo novels about Indiana Jones…” Konral said as he turned in as he looked for Julien hoping he had far better news about everything he was seeing.

Vander, COS

Within the shuttle the waiting computer chimed, =/\=Athena is now in range =/\=

High above the planet Athena and Cyrano entered into orbit to find the planet cracking across its axis as the forces unleashed by the removal of the Mirror Orb started to take their toll.

On the planet, others were beaming off if they could and heading for the safer ground offered by the Prophets Dias if they couldn’t.

She navigated the Cyrano to the planet’s orbit and was surprised to see the damage across the surface. “I would not recommend landing unless we know where we can. This is a powder keg and we are smaller than ants in the great scheme of things.”

Delaney, Sec

On the bridge, Ghubari felt a strange sense of relief. =/\=Athena to Away Team, report,=/\= she said, wanting the lay of the land before they even mentioned the crystal. They had no idea what had befallen the crew down there while they had been away and it was imperative to make sure everyone was okay.

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

Flat on his back Stark slapped his comm badge, to discover he’d lost it in the fight. “Third time this month,” he muttered to himself, “Orvos is going to slap me when I requisition yet another one.”

Stark Nightstalker CIO

OOC: lol :D

R’han would start scanning the area, but would focus on the person that responded to the comm call.

R’han

Scans confirmed that the seismic eruptions that were tearing at the planet were coming from the sunken amphitheater where Orvos, Stark and Julien had originally found the Orb Container.

(OOC: Im a bit confused, are the ppl of the cyrano supposed to go to the Athena, or the dying planet? Izzy has the bag of Orb pieces)

Amber

OOC We need to get the Orb pieces, Laraan and Aurora and two Liams to the Prophets chamber down below. The one that Orvos, Stark and Julien found where the Orb was stolen from. Everyone else is welcome to come along for the show :-)

Junior Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

“There is absolutely an massive earthquake in progress. It is a planet wide extinction level event.” R’han said as if he was reporting that the grass was green. “The shuttle is on one of the many faults.”

Moving carefully, Jann re-grouped with Kaylee and grumbled, “I need a vacation.”

Kaylee tapped her comm badge in response to the Athena’s hail. =/\= Baxter here. I have initiated an evacuation of the auditorium we were holding our negations in. We were hit pretty hard by the earthquake. I have Lieutenant Kingston with me. =/\=

-Kaylee Baxter

=/\=Acknowledged. We have the pieces of the missing orb and are about to bring it down. I’ve been told that thing should be fixed once we have certain people fix the orb,=/\= Ghubari said. Her tone was more distant than normal.=/\=I’ll be down shortly to meet up with everyone.=/\=

Outside Stark was getting worried and looked over at Julian and Konral, “Do you think we should go in there and help them all get out?”

Stark Nightstalker CIO

M’k’n’z’y and his entourage thundered past the man-mountain still carrying Laraan, along with Eddington and *Orvos they got into their shuttle and prepared to lift off. As the door was shutting a hail came through.

=/\= Orvos, it’s Aurora, we have to get to the Prophets Dias, we’re on our way =/\=

The sound of Orvos was abruptly cut off as the door of Excalibur’s shuttle closed tight and they lifted off heading across the compound towards their destination.

Junior Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

OOC: My turn to be confused, but I’m going to try and weave this smoothly. Where is the dias in relation to negotiation chambers?
IC:
Janna watched them leave and then looked at everyone else. She was a bit confused but also worried about getting caught in the growing tremors.

~Janna Kingston, ACNS

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

R’han

After looking over scans on the Cyrano, Orvos began issuing orders. “Izzy, Laraan, and Aurora, I’m going to get us as close to the Prophet’s chamber as possible. I have a strong feeling that these tremors will end when that Orb is put back together down there. Prepare to be beamed in.” He maneuvered the Cyrano to get the best possible closeness to the Prophet Chamber without risking the rest of the ship.

“Yes sir.” Izzy replied and transferred the reigns over to him. She then carefully rewrapped the pieces of the Orb for transport with her. She wanted to think she didn’t know why she took such care with the relic, but she did. She had been a devout Neo-Catholic much of her life. Respect for spiritual artifacts was ingrained in her very being.

He then went to the computer and input commands as he saw fit. Then moving to Delaney, he said, “Maintain an open channel. I’ll be monitoring your progress, so if anything crazy happens, I’ll be there. And keep them safe.”

She looked up from the bundle as she stood and found Orvos there, the seriousness in his eyes catching her and stopping her. “Yes sir. My priority is their safety and you and I are agreed there.” Orvos would know she meant that her life was less important than the other two if the planet became more unstable or if something should go awry on the mission. Her job was probably the most important thing to her and she would always do it to the best of her ability. She walked to the back transport pad to join the others.

He then turned back to the operating console. “Ready?”

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

“Yes sir.” she replied when everyone was ready.

Delaney, Sec
