Nearby a door slid up in the left corner, evidently their way out to the next stage in this mouse in a maze test by their unseen captors.

GM CockRoach

Reid walked through the door alone. Perhaps he hadn’t picked up on the social cues, but his encounter with Captain Taggart left him in a somewhat solitary manner. Different from when they arrived.

Will watched Reid walk through the door “So is this the part where we follow or wait to see if something eats him” The Texan asked with a half-smile. Not giving anyone a chance to answer he shrugged “A where’s the fun in that, hey Vegas wait up” He moved to a half jog after the other Genious through the doorway.

CSO

Chris was still on the floor and now his left cheek was burning on the now hot floor.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Taiya felt a wave of guilt as she saw the Captain on the floor but she knew she had to keep up the pretense, at least for the moment. Grabbing Mwezi and dragging him to his feet she dusted herself off. “Lets move out!” she barked. “Mwezi, kindly pick him up,” she added, nodding to the Captain. “We might need someone to use as a human shield…” she added as they made their way to the door.

Commander Keali (XO)

As Dr.Blaze heard That comment the XO made he had a small flashback of his life in school where the bullies hunted him and used him as a human anything. “ I hope you’re not serious of using us as human shields“ he said hoping she was joking.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

Mwezi growled feraly at Keali, but went to pick up the Captain. He was very light without his bionic limbs, and it was almost trivial for the alien to lift him.

Mwezi

“No worries Ensign” The jovial southern twang came from ahead of the group “If it comes to it I doubt anyone will have a chance to use any manner of body shields. Just hope y’all are fast on your feet.” The Scientist smiled as he walked backwards.

CSO

Blaze saw The awkwardness of having to carry the Capt. he pulled off his lab coat and started to rip it in a few areas. “ here use this for the captain” Dr. Blaze was able to make a carry sling out of his lab coat “I believe this will make things a bit easier having to carry the captain.”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

As the group proceeded through the door they had barely gotten through when the smooth metal surface slid shut behind them preventing them from returning where they had come from. The room they were now in was small perhaps 15x15 square or so and 10ft in height. It was an olive-green color in tone with an impression of another door on the far side across from them. The only other thing present as they entered was a square table upon which were several pieces of wood, stone, iron and such. The only device of more modern make was some kind of welding and hammer/nail like setup on the table’s edge. It wasnt removable nor did they have the means to take it apart, but it did work in welding a thin stream of blue plasma and worked on a hammer/nail set up on the other side.

So it seems they had the basic means of fashioning simple tools/weapons if they wanted. Which was soon answered by the unseen computer voice =/\= Test 6A has begun, testing group will if they desire fashion implements of their choosing from provided materials. Please state if this option wishes to be bypassed…=/\= It stated.

GM CockRoach

William took a step forward and looked at the tools at hand “Interesting” The Texan? said with slight amusement in his tone “Well this is not exactly my area of expertise, Chief Reid, Mr. Mwezi?” He looked at the other genius in the group and the Captain Carrying Galdori “Perhaps you could fashion something of use out of these, some prying bars, screwdrivers and the like” He then looked at the First Officer and smiled “And perhaps some blunt instruments to assist in further violence against superiors”

CSO

Blaze went to the table and started to work. He make a few crude tools to help he also took off his undershirt and made an tool belt to help carry to tools like a wooden hammer screwdriver and a few cutting tools. “ I got the basics” Blaze said to Reid.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

Mwezi placed the captain down on the ground and stood at the ready, ready to pick him up or do anything else he needed to do.

Chris made a slight grunt when he was put to the floor.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

As Blaze would finish his work making simple tools made up of a wooden hammer, screwdriver, and two cutting saws the computer voice spoke again =/\= No response detected vocally on inquiry. Observation and mental pattern adjustment of all test subjects complete. Proceeding with further testing. Initiating contact protocol test 1A=/\= It stated.

Vanishing as if by some sort of transporter beam the table that Blaze had just worked on vanished from their view. Ahead then sliding into the walls was their next room. Which from what little they could see led into some kind of forested biome! The air rushing into their current room was scented by a fresh breeze almost pine like in its odor. They could also make out the faint sound of some kind of wild life chirping or buzzing away ahead too. How big it was though was impossible to say due to the large thick tree like cover.

GM CockRoach

William breathed in the air, the smell of fresh pine was a bracing change. He turned back and smiled at the group and spoke with much too great enthusiasm. “I guess it’s picnic time” The Texan said looking at the welcome change of scenery. Turning back he looked at the Captain “Say, Commander, you’re like a brain doctor or something, should he be unconcious for so long? Can’t imagine that it’s healthy” If he was at all concerned it didn’t show in his voice.

CSO

Mwezi stretched out his arms slightly, fingers and wrists cracking slightly. He then bent down and picked up the captain again, grunting slightly as he stepped forward into the forested area. His nose worked in overdrive, his much more sensitive senses able to pick up things the humanoids might not be able to.

Mwezi

Dr. Blaze went over to the captain “ how are you feeling sir. You have to stay warm with out your cybernetic we need to keep you warm and you blood pumping” he said as he put a hand on the captains forehead to check for signs of fever. Blaze was very good in his medical training if the engineering job didn’t turn out he would have went the medical route.

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

The smells of the forest and Blaze touching him woke him up. He blinked his good eye and wondered where the heck he was. Was he dreaming. His jaw told him he was not because he could still feel the pain of the hit. He had to admit for a little woman she packed quite a whollup!

In a strained voice he tried to say something but then realized he was moving without moving. He saw huge fur arms and paws holding him up and sighed that at least it was Mwezi and not a Cardassian holding him up.

“Wh....wha… what is going on? What did I miss?” He finally said.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Will hesitated at the sound of the waking Captain. Hopefully, he’d quickly regain his senses and previous attitude. He then turned around and smiled at the injured man and spoke in his natural Texan accent “Well sure, the Commander there punched you out cold, assumed command then led us to the forest of the damned” His voice more cheerful than anyone had heard him, just the fact that he was smiling so widely and so naturally was unusual, even uncomfortable. “We’‘ve got some basic tools and good spirits”

CSO

“Well you’re in a chipper mood. I feel like 3-CPO after he found the stormtroopers in episode 5. When Chewbacca found him in pieces. Thank you Mwezi for helping me. Maybe if it’s not too much of a problem you can tie me to your back like Chewie did to 3PO to make it easier to carry him?”

Chris was back to his regular mood.

Captain Chris Taggart CO

Mwezi let out a breath of air. “This is fine. You are quite lightweight.”

Mwezi

Taiya brought up the rear, still feeling a little guilty for hitting the Captain so hard, even though it had been an order. As they entered the biodome, her stomach grumbled as she tried to recall the last time she had eaten. “Perhaps we could find some food in here?” she mused as she looked around for anything edible. She gave a quick apologetic smile to Chris, hoping he wasn’t the kind to hold a grudge.

Commander Keali (XO)

Dr. blaze went back to work “ capt. are you feeling cold at all any soreness I need discomfort except for not having a cybernetic prosthetics”

Dr. Alexander Blaze (Engineer)

“He’s not the Captain.” Reid said, speaking for the first time in oddly long. “Captain Keali relieved him of command per Section C of Starfleet Code 104. As far as the Chernov is concerned, he is relieved of all duties. And he’s no use to us in here.” There was an amount of disdain for Taggart in Reid’s voice that suggested explanations might be necessary later.

“We need to proceed using the tools Dr Blaze made.” Reid looked at Chris for the first time in a while. Referring to their encounter earlier, he said “He’s fortunate we didn’t leave him behind.” He turned sharply to Keali. “Orders Captain?”
