Aravis turned and pulled her phaser to return fire.  She quickly took  out
two of the enemy.  "Get the scientists  Mr. Knucklbiter.   We'll  be along
in a  moment."

With the scientists attached to  Knucklebiter, Hilda had taken the "save my
own skin" approach and dove for  cover.  Her "get us out of here!" was lost
in the firefight.

The  Security Officer  continued to return  fire, but pulled Mr. Morris and
the rest of the  team into one of the rooms for cover.

The  owners of the facility  continued to move down the  corridor.  It 
seemed the team was  trapped in the room.

Aravis leaned back  into the room and pressed the  controls for the door and
secured it  with the lock.  She used her  phaser to take out the controls. 
"Hopefully, that will keep them busy  for awhile.  Folks, check  out this
room to see if you can get another  way out."

Perry was  unconscious so there was little he could do to check out the
room, but  McTiernan started moving crates along the edges of the room to
see if  there  was another entrance. A moment later, things got pretty quiet
behind Aravis.  "Ummm...Lieutenant, I think you should come take a look  at 
this."

Aravis made her way over to McTiernan.  "What is it,  Commander?"

Upon her approach, Aravis found Station Kerry's CO standing  next to a case
that was open.  Inside was some sort of storage mechanism  with a glass
door. It was a immediately clear from what was inside, that  the device was
some sort of cryogenic freezer.  Looking back at her through  the glass was
a young woman.

Aravis ran her hand over the glass in amazement and wondered why this woman
was being held in the storage space.

Only the woman's face was evident through the glass, which revealed what appeared to be an elf from classic fantasy.  Her eyes were closed, but appeared to be framed by long dark eyelashes.  She had pointed ears and medium brown hair the went lower than the glass extended.  She almost appeared to be asleep.

As the team spread out through the room, Aravis tapped her comm badge. 
"Holt to Knucklebiter.  I think we are going to need some  help  getting out
of here.  Can you get a reading on us with the transporter sensors?"

(KB?)

Hilda went to Perry to check him out and try to revive him.

Other than minor phaser burns, there was not damage.  Fortunately, the
crazies were firing on a stun level.  Perry started to come to as Hilda
administered some basic techniques.

She administered a hypo to help the process and stabilize the shock of
coming out of sudden unconsciousness.  "You were only out a few seconds."
she told him.
Perry sat up slightly, and swayed as dizziness over took him.  "Thanks, Doc," he said as he pulled his hand up to his head to support it.
 
Just then, the owners of the facility broke through the secured door and began firing.

From across the room, the doctor could hear the team leader.  "Doctor,  I
think we could use your assistance over here."

Hilda looked up incredulously, a phaser bolt narrowly missing her head. 
They wanted her to make it over *there*???  Gritting her teeth and taking a
deep breath, she looked around the corner cautiously, and when there seemed
to be a slight lull, she dove across the empty space.  Phaser fire erupted
around her, but somehow she miraculously escaped a hit.  Squirming the rest
of the way on her belly, she said loudly, "What's wrong?"
Aravis extended a hand to the cryogenic unit.  "It seems that our scientists
were not the only people being held by these people.  Is there any way we
can get her ready to move easily and quickly?"

(response?)
