Host Kevin says:
<RECAP>

Having recovered the archaeological team from the planet, and with the temporal anomalies increasing in size and number, the away team returned to the Scimitar.

The CO ordered helm to take the ship away from the planet but a problem with the impulse engines prevented them from moving any faster than maneuvering thrusters would allow.

The artifact on the planet’s surface fired a beam at them that, upon striking the Scimitar, enveloped it in a temporal field preventing scans farther than the shields and stopping the ship cold. Modifications were made to the sensors allowing them to penetrate the field. Further attempts to escape from both the planet and the field resulted in the field growing in strength and the shields losing power.

 The shields were deactivated, and  the field contracted around the Scimitar then disappeared moments later.

Attempts to coordinate the ship’s time with Federation time beacons failed, no Federation signals could be found. However, there now seems to be heavy comm traffic on the planet’s surface with one audio only signal directed at the Scimitar.

<Resume Mission>

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Notices CO collapse.:: CO: Captain!

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Returns to engineering, starts checking systems.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Rushes out from engineering station to CO's side.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::On his way back from sickbay after his conversation with the EMH.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::At replicator getting a drink.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: I am intercepting a transmission from the Planet.  Routing thro' the universal translator.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: On speakers. ::Feels CO's wrist for pulse.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Goes over to science 1, sits down with a cup of water.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Sickbay* Medical emergency on the bridge!

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Walks back onto the bridge to see the CO collapse.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: Putting it thro'.  ::Attempts to route transmission to speaker and visual.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Get Dr. Caplan up here. He may be able to help translate.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
*Caplan* Dr, come to the bridge immediately.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::In turbolift with Dr. Caplan.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: I think that would be a good idea.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Taps comm badge.::  *CNS* Adon, please bring a medical team up here, you’re the closest thing we have to a CMO.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Kalla, take astrometric readings of this system and compare them with Federation cartography records. Let's see where - or when - we are.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
*FCO* I'm on my with Dr.Caplan also.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
*CNS* Hurry!

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: Aye, aye, commander.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Arrives on bridge.:: AXO: Sir, I'm sure you remember Dr. CapIan.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Runs tactical scan of local space.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Makes his way to engineering station, picks up tricorder and returns to CO's side, scanning.::

DrCapIan says:
::Steps out of the turbolift, taking a good big look at the bridge of the ship.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Speaks in Caplan's direction.:: Caplan: Doctor, you'll forgive me if I don't get up.
CNS: Ensign, take over...she suddenly collapsed.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
*CNS* More out. ::Taps comm badge again.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
FCO/AXO: What happened to the Captain? ::Starts scanning.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Makes his way to the bridge,::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: I wonder if it would be an idea to try to mindmelt with the CO.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
CNS: She just..... collapsed.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
Caplan: Please assist me with this transmission.  Can you understand it?  ::Plays recording to Caplan.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
CNS: Unknown. She was fine a second ago.

DrCapIan says:
AXO: Um. Yes. OK.

DrCapIan says:
::Approaches the TO.::

DrCapIan says:
::Listens carefully to the recording.:: TO: I'll have a go at it.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Goes over to TO and Dr Caplan.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: It may be worth a try... but let's see what exactly that artifact did to us first.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: Sir, tactical scans show no star ships in the area.  The paknet does boast a number of atmospheric vehicles.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
AXO: So far I can't tell what's wrong. Let's transport her to sickbay for further scans.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: Yes sir.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
CNS: Intializing site-to-site transport on your mark.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
CNS: Get it done. And have Dr. Brown let me know the minute her status changes.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
FCO: Energize.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Enters the bridge.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Energizes.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Atmospheric vehicles? What's the state of their technology?

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: Sir, we are in a potentially hostile area. I suggest we raise shields.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Agreed. FCO: Mr. More, take us into a high orbit. They may have scanning devices which can determine exactly what we are.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan, TO: We probably have to try to compare the communication from the planet with the inscriptions that were found.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Makes more detailed scan of the planet surface.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Walks onto the bridge and looks around.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Raises shields.::

DrCapIan says:
TO: I'm sorry... Lt. I can't help you on this, I don't understand it. I'm sorry.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
AXO: Yes sir. High geosynchrounus orbit engaged.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Takes the Scimitar into a higher orbit.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Energizes in sickbay beside the captain.:: Medical staff: Let's get her on a bio-bed.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
All: Admiral on the bridge!

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
TO, Caplan: The translator program is 73% complete.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Stands at attention.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: The craft in the atmosphere appear to be similar in design to our shuttle craft.

DrCapIan says:
::Glances up at the entering Stanley but then looks back down.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Startled by TO's announcement, turns to Stanley.:: Stanley: Admiral...we've been hit by some sort of temporal energy from the surface.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Gets out of chair and salutes.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
All: As you were.  Who is in charge?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
:Goes to Science 1.::

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: As the Scimitar's shields are activated a temporal signature is detected from the surface, and the comm signal to the Scimitar increases.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: I am, sir. Captain Ian-Bandra collapsed and is in sickbay.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Starts more scans of the captain.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Frowns.:: AXO: How bad?

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Attempts to analyse temporal signature.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: Unknown, sir. Dr. Brown and Ensign Adon are working on her right now.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Still working on the translation program for inscriptions now mainly covering the communication.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: Sir, another temporal signature is developing on the planet surface.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns, frowning.:: TO: Location?

DrCapIan says:
::Glances at the TO's readout, lots of it foreign information to him, but understanding some of the data displayed.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Looks at read out.:: AXO: (Gives coordinates) It matches that of the artifact.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Looks at navigational logs.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Immediately checks monitors.:: AXO: Translation now at 87%.,

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
Self: We are definitely where we should be.....

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
TO: Yes, the artifact signature before firing at us.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Any idea yet of how far back we've been taken?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
*AXO* The Captain appears to be fine, but Dr. Brown is going to keep her in sickbay for observation.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
*CNS* Thank you, Ensign. Keep me apprised. Bridge out.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: Not as yet sir. Without any markers I have to go by planetary geological development. It will take some time with a new planet.

DrCapIan says:
::Begins walking away from the TO around the bridge operations level and toward the other side where the Sci-Stations are.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
AXO: What is our current situation?

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Use the readings we got upon arrival at Aiseno IV. Cross-reference with the archaeological evaluation.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Complies damage report.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
AXO: What if I were to move the Scimitar closer to Earth? If we could pinpoint what time we are in for definite,  that’s the place to do it, sir.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns back to Stanley.:: Stanley: All systems are operating normally. We suffered a partial impulse failure which kept us from breaking orbit and led to our being hit by the temporal beam.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: Aye, aye, sir.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans artifact again.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: The impulse systems have since been repaired. But we still don't know where we are.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
AXO: Are we still in our time?

DrCapIan says:
::Begins glancing over the Science stations, seeing if there is anything he can identify.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Stanley: As yet unknown, sir.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: I don't believe so, sir. We were unable to contact either the Federation timebase beacons or Starbase 51's automated relay.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Dr Caplan: Any input from you will be valuable, as you were actually working on the planet.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: The temporal signature is building up again. It seems to react to our shields.  Orders please. shall I deactivate them again?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO/Admiral: Analysis complete. Signal as follows:
Unknown craft Identify yourself, do not attempt to activate weapons or planetary defenses will fire. Repeat: Identify yourself, do not power weapons systems or planetary defenses will fire

DrCapIan says:
CSO: And I will give you anything I have anything to offer, as of yet I do not.

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Shields down, but keep them ready. ::Listens to Kalla.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
CSO: What are the possibilities that we are in a different universe, like the one the crew of deep space nine have been to?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
Dr.Brown: I'm going to back to the bridge. Please inform me if the captain's health changes.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Starts to analyse previous temporal beam to construct a shield configuration to protect the Scimitar from attack.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Frowns.:: AXO: Very well.  Then as Sector Commander, by the authority Invested in me by Star Fleet Command I here by assign you as the Scimitar XO and ACO until the Captain returns to duty.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: Just as well we did not try to be too aggressive. ::Looks pointedly at TO.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Deactivates shields.::

AXO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Nods to Stanley.:: Stanley: Aye, sir.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: Temporal signature dissipates.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: And any other position change you want, let me know and I sign off on them.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Immediately checks temporal situation.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
AXO: The temporal signature has dissipated.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Walks out the door to the turbolift.::

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
AXO: Shall we respond to the message, Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
All: It seems that the most important thing will be to find a way to communicate with the artifact.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Thank you, Kalla. ::Faces Stanley, again.:: Stanley: At this point, Admiral, the only thing we need right now is a new chief tactical officer...Mr. Furlong should fill the bill.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: That is, if it's all right with you, Lieutenant.

TO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Thank you Sir.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
TO: You heard the XO you’re ::snaps fingers:: CTO!

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: CSO's panel beeps.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Checks computer progress on time calculations.::

DrCapIan says:
::Looks at the CSO's panel as it begins to beep.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: Now that that's settled... this is a tricky situation. Is this a signal we're allowed to answer...or would this be considered a violation of the Prime Directive?

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: That depends on what year it is

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral, XO: We seem to have come up with a result to that riddle. Temporal calculations have just been completed. Current time is 3765893 years in the past.

DrCapIan says:
::Thinks: Now that is interesting.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Self: Three million years...

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Arrives on bridge and sits down in chair beside captain's chair.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
Adon: Welcome to the bridge, Counselor. As we currently don't have an OPS officer may I suggest you take the ops console until then?

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Hears the CSO’s answer.:: XO: Well that tears it.  Go to red alert if you’re not and turn off all etional system.  We need to emit as little as possible.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: The planet in our own time has been dead for several million years. We are at the end of that... to the day! ::Looks gloomy.::

DrCapIan says:
::Looks closer at Sci-II.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: Aye, sir. *Intraship* Red alert! General quarters, all hands.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
AXO: If it's okay with you, I'll take over ops, sir? 

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: Signal from the planet changes.

DrCapIan says:
::Starts accessing the Science Archives.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CNS: Go ahead. Let me know if you require assistance.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Insures engineering is ready at the sound of red alert.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Goes to ops.:: FCO: Have we made any progress in determining when or where we are?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Sir, red alert usual requires shields - that usually activates the artifact. Shall I refrain?

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
CNS: Just over 3 million years in the past, Adon.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Hold off for now. Stanley: Should we go ahead and respond?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Shall I respond with universal greetings?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: New message reads: Unidentified ship identify yourself now, or you will be fired upon.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Sits down in the XO chair.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: Can their weapons damage the ship?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: There is a certain risk that our presence here may have to do with the planet's doom.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: Unknown. They used a temporal beam last time.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO,CSO: As I said, we should move away from here, sir, ma'am.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Self: But why would their defense system send us back to their own destruction?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: A net of temporal signatures is developing across the planet.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: I agree with FCO.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: Unless we know the ship is in danger, I would recommend not answering.  We do not want to cause any temporal problems. ::Can just see the paper work for when they get back.::

DrCapIan says:
::Overhears CSO:: CSO: Maybe it was a mistake?

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: The CTO's panel flashes!

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Hears Stanley.:: FCO: Mr. More, take us out of orbit, full impulse.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Examines panel.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO: Course?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: Yes, perhaps. ::Doesn't sound convinced.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Back towards Starbase 51's location.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: We can always come back later.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Sir! Unidentified ship approaching – it’s huge!

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans ship.::

DrCapIan says:
CSO: Maybe this "weapon" is malfunctioning. It's 3 Million Years old, remember?

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO: Aye, sir. Engaging  course 84890.61 on full impulse, now.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Identification?

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: I agree.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: Possibly.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Scans are negative expect for large power signatures.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: The question is if we can do anything about it in this time.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Raise shields and power weapons, but don't lock on yet.

Host Kevin says:
Action: Comms to the Scimitar are cut off. The planet’s surface becomes covered in multiple temporal signatures, multiple objects are leaving the surface headed for orbit.

DrCapIan says:
::Interrupts CSO again.:: CSO: Perhaps we were meant to be "Erased" but instead this malfunction is what caused the coming annihilation of this people but in the future.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Sees the view screen.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CSO: Make sure you record all of this.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: That is a fascinating theory.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Looks at screen.:: Self: What the...

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral: Aye, sir. ::Is already recording.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
Caplan: Help the CSO.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Sir, perhaps we have arrived in time for a war which we seem to be stuck right in the middle of.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Suddenly catches himself giving orders...and stops.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: For all we know, we might have unknowingly started this war. Stanley: Can we contact this ship?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Tactical scan - prepares all weapons (just in case).::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: Not without breaking the temporal Prime Directive.  The most we can do is record events.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
TO: Do these satellites have the same characteristics as the artifact?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Continues to scan the objects coming from the planet.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans satellites.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Thinks for a second.:: Caplan: Doctor, were you the first Federation science team to investigate this planet?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: The satellites have the same signature as the artifact.

DrCapIan says:
XO: Yes, I was the first to come here, along with my team that is.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns to Stanley.:: Stanley: If we were to leave some sort of message buried at the site of the first dig by Dr. Caplan's team, it could warn them off, prevent them from touching the artifact...and would prevent them from requiring rescue.

DrCapIan says:
XO: What's to say we would find it before we found the artifact?

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Thinks for a second.:: Caplan: How long ago did your team arrive?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: The intruder is still moving towards the planet on full impulse.  We remain directly in its flight path.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Evasive manouvers?

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Hard to port...take us on a 90-degree path away from the ship.

DrCapIan says:
Admiral: We were there for several months. In fact, the Scimitar was supposed to pick us up after a three month study of the planet.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO: Aye, commander.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
XO: Power output of the unidentified ship has remained consistent sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: I wonder if we or that big ship is the direct cause for the planet’s destruction.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley, Caplan: All we need to do is leave the message on the site Dr. Caplan first began excavating...disguise it so that it looks like a warning from the inhabitants.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley, Caplan: If this works, we would be back in our time...and never know any of this happened.

DrCapIan says:
AXO: Yes, but you could quite possibly cause a paradox.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: The ship's power signature just changed.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: That will not work.  We’re dealing with the temporal Prime Directive.  The best you could do is rig a message to go off....::pause:: say, whatever time it takes to escape from the beam.

DrCapIan says:
XO: Possibly a causality loop in the end.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: You mean, leave a message for ourselves? But we've already been there and the message wasn't ::Rubs forehead and remembers why he failed temporal science 101.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
All: For all we know, we could be in a causality loop right now.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Carries out tactical scan to clear his head.::

DrCapIan says:
XO: My point exactly. You can't tell.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO: Like the Bozeman and the Enterprise D?

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
XO: We have to make sure it is a message we could find easily.

DrCapIan says:
XO: Think about it. You place a message, I find it, we don't travel back in time and don't plant the message, we go back in time... and so on...

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: I suggest that if the planet has the technology to 'capture' us in the first place, it should be able to send us back.  Perhaps we should make contact.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Unfortunately, that could also affect the timeline.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO, Admiral: Temporal beams from the planet are hitting the satellites and form a field around the planet.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: A temporal field is developing around the planet.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO:I think we should travel back in time of our own power.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CSO: Can you tell what time-frame those beams are effect...::has an idea.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: If one of those beams is interacting with our time we may be able to ride it back.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral: Similar to the one that hit us.

DrCapIan says:
::Begins pacing nervously.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
Stanley: If that's so, Admiral, we can't raise our shields. We'd have to divert enough to the structural integrity field and inertial dampeners.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral: A risky proposal. We could go further back in time.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CSO: See if you can get any time readings.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral: Aye, sir.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
XO: Power signature of the unidentified ship has now doubled.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: What if we were to stop the coming ship. Maybe the planet would not be destroyed then.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Intruder still on course for Aissno IV - still powering up.  If it attacks the planet we could lose any chance of getting home Sir.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Scanning beams.::

DrCapIan says:
XO: Uh. May I suggest we stay well away from the ship... don't want to be caught in a fight... or loose the ship... or any part of it....

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
XO: Whatever it takes.  Right now I believe riding one of those beams back is the best idea.  Remember I ordered warning beacons to be placed around the planet, so there will be no rescue mission for us.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: Not fight. Hail it.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO Intruder powering up weapons

DrCapIan says:
CSO: I personally don't think they look like the talkative type

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO, Admiral: Ok, not the friendliest of intentions.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Thinks.:: FCO: Set a course for the temporal beams, full impulse. If one hits us, don't raise the shields.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Admiral: Scans of beams are inconclusive, sir.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
XO: Several holes have appeared in ship's outer hull.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CTO: Inform the crew we are going to having a bumpy ride.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sits down in The Chair.::

DrCapIan says:
CSO: Uh.... what would happen if that ship fired at us while we were in that temporal beam?

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
All hands: Stand by for possible impacts.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Reaches for the seat belt that used to be on the command chair and remembers they no longer exist.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CSO: Very well.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: An interesting question... which we should have a chance of studying very soon.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
DrCaplan: We would fire right back.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CTO: You will not return fire!

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
All: Setting course. Self: Let’s see what you’re made of Scimi......

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: At worst they could disrupt that time beam.

DrCapIan says:
CSO/CTO: What if the weapons interfered with the beam? Wouldn't we be scattered across time?

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
All: Maximum impulse.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: There is an 80% risk of that eventuality.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Routes power from shield generators to structural integrity field.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
Computer: Computer, manual ship steering controls at Flight control console. ::Joystick appears.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
*EO* Bridge to engineering...we'll need as much impulse power as you can give us, Mr. Evans!

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
*Bridge* Aye, sir.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
XO: Intruder now in planetary orbit.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Allocates as much power to the impulse engines as possible.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
ALL: Impulse engines at 110% above nominal, increasing.

DrCapIan says:
All: Then, no. I don't want to go back if that's the price. I don't want to be splattered across time.

Host Kevin says:
ACTION: The Scimitar hits one of the temporal beams just as the unidentified ship fires. Warning lights flash throughout the ship, systems go offline, the image on the viewer flickers then goes out.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Closely monitors impulse engines to avoid trouble.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
::Is thrown around.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
All: We are now in a temporal beam.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Routes all available power to the engines.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Damage report! ::Looks around darkened bridge.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Scanners off line.

Host Kevin says:
Action: The ship stops shaking, backup lighting comes on, panels flicker to life moments later.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Reads damage report on Tac console.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
All: Sorry for the rough flight. ::Gets back into chair.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Scanners back online.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Checks engine systems.::

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
ALL: Report!

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Full scans. Let's see what happened.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Scanning....

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
Admiral: Flight control online.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Tactical scan of local space.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Minor breaches along ship hull. Emergency force fields holding.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Get damage control parties on those breaches. Now!

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
FCO: Get a position reading..

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Sends forth damage control teams.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Some minor systems off line, a few major systems running on backup.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
*damage control teams* Get to work!

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Checks over all power readings.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Begin repairs immediately, with reports every 15 minutes.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
XO: Essential systems seem to be unaffected.

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Aye, sir!

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Checks weapons and shield generator status.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CSO: Now...where are we? Or should I say...when?

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Timewise - we are back where we started.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
Admiral: We are exactly where we should be. The time beacon shows that entire endeavor cost us three minutes of time.

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
::Scans ship's systems.::

DrCapIan says:
Self: A stitch in time....

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
::Executes computer self repair routines.::

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Breathes BIG sigh of relief.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
XO: Planet is dead.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
FCO: Nice job!

DrCapIan says:
CSO: Did we cause that?

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CTO: Are the warning beacons still working that we deployed.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
CNS: Ensign, send a subspace message to Starbase 51. Advise of our status and that we'll need repairs once we arrive.

EO_LTJG_EVANS says:
::Starts scheduling repairs.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: I would say it is more likely to have been the large ship's volley that killed the planet.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Scans for warning beacons.:: Admiral: Stand by on that report, sir.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
CTO: Thank you sir. Computer: Disengage manual flight control ::Joystick disappears.::

CNS_Ens_Adon says:
AXO: Aye sir. ::Starts creating the message to send.::

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
Admiral: Beacons deployed and working, Sir.

DrCapIan says:
CSO: Still we were part of the events. It will be something interesting for my paper at least.....

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Ensign More, lay in a course for Starbase 51, best speed. ::Goes back to chair and sits down.::

CSO_LtJG_Kalla says:
Caplan: It certainly will. Not many people remember 3 million years back.

Host SC_RA_Stanley says:
CTO: Good double the warning range and deploy two more sets of beacons as we leave the system.

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
XO: Aye sir. engaging warp 5, Federation cruising speed.

XO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Engage.

CTO_LtJg_Furlong says:
::Carries out instructions to the letter.::

FCO_Ensign_Adam_More says:
::Pushes warp speed button.::
