ON

One fight had broken out -- and was quickly squelched by the Marines -- but the locals were getting decidedly restless. Two more skirmishes had broken out. Fistfights, mostly. Helga was now adding mild sedatives to her juice to help calm everyone down.

It wasn't helping much. So, she began to replicate pies. Food, her mother told her, was always a good way to improve someone's mood. And nothing made her father happier than a homemade cream pie.

In short order she'd replicated ten dozen pies and lined them up on long tables to feed everyone after lunch.

Ulrick, who had his blood drawn earlier by one of the nurses, got up off the cot and ran out of the tent. His vision was double and he blinked. He saw a few fighting and ignored it. Ulrick smiled as he looked at the nurse at a table, assuming that there is just one in a white uniform with a short skirt, and ran toward her. He knocked her down on the ground, holding her wrists away from her body. "Hello, love..."

Hel kneed him. Hard. When he groaned and fell to the side she grabbed a hypospray and sedated him.

Noelle saw this and hurried over "You okay?" She asked as she grabbed the guy before he hit the ground and took him back into the tent. She looked around and over to the CMO "Ma'am, we may need a bit more help down here, we've got fights breaking out. So far we've been able to quash them, but things are getting a bit tense." She said.

Hel watched the man get carried off, adjusted her skirt and went back to arranging lunch.

Doctor Bowen nodded at the Marine Commanding Officer as she picked up a few hyposprays and passed it to some of the crewmembers. "Use this for sedation. I don't want to see heavy weapons used on them."

Helena walked into the main room where everyone was getting restless and took up a guard position in case more trouble broke out. The tension was so thick she itched. As per orders, she set her rifle on wide stun, just in case.

Tomas, a farmer of the planet, got mad as he watched the crowd come into the tent and were fighting. He was sitting on his cot. He assumed that these strangers from the sky might be taking over the planet as he looked around. He squeezed his fists and jumped up, running towards a doctor's back.

Doctor Valdez felt someone pushed from behind him, knocking him to the floor. He turned around, trying to get up. A man's fist connected to his jaw and he felt the pain through his head. Darkness enveloped his mind.

Callen was in the middle of helping some one when she heard a crowed of wild people out side. She really didn't pay no mind to it for the fact the doctor and some of the staff went out to assit the problem. After a few moments or so something bursted threw the window. Callen almost jumped out of her skin as she looked to the broken window. Shew was at lest happy that none of the glass landed on any of the pachients. She went over to asses the damage and reaching over she was quite shocked by what was going on outside. A few of the civilians were screaming and distroying things. She didn't understand what was going on.

She took a step closer to the window to peak her head out to get a better look. Things weren't going well down her and she decided to get a hold of the ship to see if they could do anything. Sticking her head back in she tapped on her badge, "Cheif Warrent to Calypso." But before she could answer one of the Civilians jumped threw the window and attacked Callen. A full grown male, wrapped his arms around her throat and begain to choke her. The presser from his arm caused Callen to start choking and gasping for air. She quickly jab the male in the side causing him to let her go. She quickly turned around and punched him in the face, causing him to fall down to the ground. She grabbed her pasor and pointed it at with a pissed off look.

"Captain," she mangaged to speak, "I request back up ASAP. I think we have a riot on are hands."

Sam looked at Damon and Robert. "Get security and more Marines down there at once."

=^= Calypso this is Shuttle Ierreth requesting permission to dock? =^=

Sam raised an eyebrow. Shuttle Ierreth? "Permission granted."

=^= Thank you Calypso, Ierreth out. =^=

Helga picked up a pie, intent on taking it over to where the doctors worked. She was careful to weave between the various men and women walking around the warehouse.

She hadn't gone far when someone bumped her from behind. Hard enough for her to stumble forward and lose her pie -- onto a grumpy-looking man wearing what looked like a Hawaiian shirt. He uttered a few colorful imprecations in response.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. If you would come this way I'll help you clean up," Hel offered.

The man seemed to comply, until they were near the table of pies. At that point he picked up a pie, turned, and threw it at Hel. She ducked. The person behind her was caught off guard. The pie landed squarely in his face. With a roar of anger, HE grabbed a pie and threw it back. He hit his target, and the child being held by a tired-looking mother. The child began to cry loudly.

"Hey, you don't hit kids!" the man roared. He tackled the man who threw the pie. Both fell to the ground and began to punch each other.
