Episode 162: "Prelude to Invasion, Part 2: Where In The World Are We": Screeching has been heard throughout the ship as she scrapes across another as they enter the other dimension or not... It would seem that the Luna has gone back in time but to where and when and is the Vesuvius there.  What are these Tetrahedron things.  Are they the ones killing all the humans?  Now the problem is... how badly damaged is the Luna and can they get home?

CO_Savar says:
CTO: Damage report!  FCO: Move us, z-plus 100 kilometers.  CSO: What did we hit?
CMO_Kymar says:
@::keeps an eye on his environmental console, his right hand drifting down to the weapon at his hip subconsciously::
CSO_Singh says:
:: At her station, digging through the telemetry, and frowns.::  CO:  We hit a Federation ship.  Getting her registry.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: A Federation vessel?
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Guides the shuttle towards the Orbit.  She sits dead in space.::  CMO:  We have reached the Orbit... eerie isn't it?
CSO_Singh says:
::Turns to look at him.::  CO:  Looks like you got your wish.  It is the Vesuvius  And... I finally have a time date for you.  We are currently in the year 1947
FCO_Zeno says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Moves the vessel up, being careful to try to not rip the underside open::
CTO_Jarot says:
::sighs::  CO: Captain, we've lost underbelly of the ship... don't ask me how that will take to repair... but I guess a long time...  sensors additionally reveal a large federation vessel and a shuttle along with two Tetras...
CSO_Singh says:
:: Downloads some data and hands the PADD over to Silver.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods slowly, looking out of the viewscreen at the hanging ship:: Aola: Eerie is one way to describe it...
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Hail the Vesuvius.  CSO: What kind of shape is the Vesuvius in?
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Guides the ship in closer.::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Shuttle approaching...  she reads as the Magma.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Pulls up the engineering report.::  CO:  The upper side of her has been cut into.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Aye...  opening communications...  ::quickly moves his hands over his panel and opens a communications channel with the U.S.S. Vesuvius::   Comm channel open, Sir...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::thinks to himself:: We're in 1947, two years after WWII. How can this be?
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO:  I suspect that this is not going to be a party.  ::Sighs::  Sometimes it sucks to be a doctor especially when there is nothing we can do.

ACTION: The tetrahedron's shuttlebays open and two saucers exit.  The head for Earth.

CO_Savar says:
CTO: Lieutenant Commander, target the shuttlebay again - fire.
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: We're not doctors right now...just baggers and taggers. ::standing up from his seat slowly he smiles over at her:: But don't let it get you down.
CO_Savar says:
COM: Vesuvius: USS Vesuvius, this is the USS Luna, please respond..

ACTION:  No response from the Vesuvius.

CTO_Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Understood... firing what weapons we have... ::sighs softly as he pushes the big red button after targeting the tetrahedron’s shuttlebays manually::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  More 'saucers' are leaving the alien vessel.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO:  I know.  It still sucks.  ::Latches onto one of the docking ports on the port side.::

ACTION: Explosions can be seen inside the tetrahedron but still no significant damage.

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Sir... we really are not in any condition to battle anything at the moment, especially something that has proven already they have superior weaponry.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Too bad we don't have a cloaking device because I am certain we have been detected by the long range sensors of the time
CMO_Kymar says:
@::"She's right..." For one the voice sounded...mournful:: Aola: Come, let's see what we can find out. ::picking up his medkit he slings it over his shoulder, placing on hand on the butt of his phaser pistol and moving to the airlock::
CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  Perhaps not captain.  They are just now discovering the transistor.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I suggest we find a place where we and the Vesuvius can repair some of the damage and then see what we can discover.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Grabs her medkit after shutting down the shuttle.::  CMO:  Let's get this done so we can report back.  They are just babies and they are dead.  Cadets!!  They didn't stand a chance against these aggressors.
CO_Savar says:
::Changes channels:: COM: Magma: Shuttlecraft Magma, please respond  This is the USS Luna.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Perhaps
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: Do you think that these are the same as the ones that we've been looking at? So many at once...::shakes his head, drawing his pistol with one hand and tapping the code for the airlock door with the other::
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Is the Vesuvius in a condition to be towed?  Or are we even in a condition to be towing their vessel?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Checks with Engineering.::
CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Captain, we're not doing any major damage at this moment in time... we might have to redraw and regroup, somewhere, somehow....
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO:  I got a bad feeling it is.  According to the Argon, it sounds the same  ::Waits for the latch to open.::
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Understood.  Cease fire - begin damage control.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: This is Commander Lane on the shuttle Magma. Glad to hear a friendly voice. Go ahead.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CTO: See that we don't Cmdr, because I don't want to go home try to explain to my superiors why the time-line has been changed. What a mess that would be.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::hears the click of pressurization before the latch opens, walking out slowly with his weapon leading the way:: Aola: We'll find out soon enough
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  We do not have the power to tow the Vesuvius at the moment.  We can move at impulse only at the moment.  The slower the better with our current damage.  Either way, we need to regroup as Commander Jarot suggested
CO_Savar says:
COM: Magma: This is Captain Savar, Commander.  What is your status, and the status of the Vesuvius?
CTO_Jarot says:
CO: Aye, Captain..  ::powers down the weapons they currently have and begins listing the systems that need to be repaired::
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Nods:: CMO:  I guess we will.  ::Pulls out her phaser in case.::
CO_Savar says:
::Nods to the CSO to acknowledge her::
CSO_Singh says:
CTO:  Luna?  It would give us some protection.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: We're fine on the Magma, except for a sick crewman, but the Vesuvius has taken some damage. She's been hit by something just exiting an anomaly. Can you assist?
CTO_Jarot says:
::smiles faintly and nods at the CIV::  CIV: I too want to get home safely without disrupting the timeline, but currently I'm more worried about getting this ship in safety before we can tend to the rest of our problems...
CSO_Singh says:
:: Grimaces as the Luna is what hit the Vesuvius.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO::  CSO: Anything where we can slide out of attention of the Tetras for a small period of time...
CO_Savar says:
COM: Magma: We just suffered an impact as well.  We will spare what aid we can, but I would rather be able to communicate with the Vesuvius before beaming over crew, medics, and engineers.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods at the CTO::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances around the bridge::  Self: Where are engineers when you need them ?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Contacts sickbay to check their status::

ACTION: Suddenly the bridge becomes a beehive of activity.  Security and Engineers charge the bridge.

CMO_Kymar says:
@::looks around as he walks through the corridor, wondering when they'd reach the bodies::
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: You've been hit as well? What could have hit both ships?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Acknowledges their current status and contacts all science teams informing them to follow the drill.::

ACTION: As Aola and Kymar walk into the Orbit, an eerie silence desends upond them.  Several bodies litter the hallway.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at her captain.::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps out of the way of an engineer.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::his eyes wander to the first bodies, walking over and kneeling down to holster his pistol before pulling out his medical tricorder and quickly running a full scan, fearing the worst::
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::walks over to the nearest body and kneels down.  Pulling out her tricorder and scans.  She frowns.::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Magma: It is possible we could have impacted each other.  We had no helm control being dragged through the rift.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: I'll try and contact the Vesuvius again. Stand by.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Our medical is over run.  They are currently using the cargo bays.  I have sent science to assist.  At the moment, we are not much help to anyone.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO: Oh man... ::Looks distressed::  It's the same.  Organs missing along with eyes and brain.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods as he looks up from his scan:: Aola: The same here...Let's head for the bridge, see if we can glean anything from the sensor and Captain's logs.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: I agree.  We'll hold here and do what we can and then withdrawal to the Luna perimeter.
CSO_Singh says:
CO: Vesuvius communications are down; that is probably why they are not answering us.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#:: tries to raise her ship :: *Vesuvius*: Vesuvius, this is the Magma, please report your status. I have the Luna on the com channel and they need to confirm your status as do I. Come in please.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::nods::  CMO:  I agree.  We should get the Argon to start removing the bodes  We can do a complete autopsy on base.

ACTION:  No response from the Vesuvius.

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Sir, I suggest we limp our way around to the other side of the moon.  I should be able to send the Vesuvius a type of communication suggesting they do the same.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
# :: tries several times but can't raise her ship ::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods and stands up, tapping his commbadge:: *Argon*: Doctor Kymar to the Argon, begin tagging and beaming the bodies to the morgue. Have the medical teams put on high alert status to begin the autopsies.
Host Argon_OPS says:
@COM: Kymar:  Understood Cmdr Kymar.  I'm sorry we are meeting under these circumstances.  Don't worry they will be treated with the respect they deserve.  Let us know when you are finished.  The Captain has invited you aboard for dinner if you have the stomach for it after this.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I am going down to sickbay, my broken wirst needs tending too, especially this large gash on my forehead
CO_Savar says:
CIV: Very well, Captain.
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
# :: sits back in the pilot's seat and taps the com to the Luna again :: COM: Luna: This is the Magma again. I'm unable to raise the Vesuvius. She may have taken damaged to her communications array.
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods at the CSO's suggestion::  CO: I concur with the Commander, Sir...  engineering reports they are slowly beginning to work on the critical area's... no ETA on those things yet, though...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::nods at the CO and walks to the turbolift and enters:: TL: Sickbay
CO_Savar says:
COM: Magma: Understood, Commander.  We have incoming vessels, and the Luna will be moving out to the Luna perimeter.  We suggest you and the Vesuvius do the same - but we have no way to contact them or the structural integrity to tow them.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::smiles softly and nods to himself:: *Argon*: Of course. We should be finished within the hour, Kymar out.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I can use the modified Morse code with the ships running lights.  They should be able to see that... Ummm... we could also beam someone over there and let them know what is up.  They should be able to see us as well.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Perhaps we should pin a note to their chest, in case they are shot on sight.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::smiles over at his companion, hoping to raise spirits a little:: Aola: Come on, let's get moving
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks at the captain in surprise at the humor::  CO: Ummm... yes sir.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO: Ok... you know, dinner sounds good.  ::Tummy growls.::  My friends think I'm nuts to eat after surgery or an autopsy.  ::Sighs::  They don't understand.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps off the turbolift and walks to sickbay and enters::
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: Acknowledged Luna. I'll continue to try and make contact. By the way, may I tell Captain McGrady to whom I am speaking...... for the record of course
CO_Savar says:
COM: Magma: Captain Savar, Commanding USS Luna.  Serial Number 981105 dash 024
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan looks around holding onto his left wrist while dried blood is still visible on his forehead coming from the scalp::
CSO_Cmdr_Lane says:
#COM: Luna: Thank you Captain Savar. I shall send Captain McGrady your compliments Lane out.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::allows himself a small grin as he walks for the turbolift, trying to ignore the bodies around him:: Aola: I know what you mean, I've been doing this too long to get sick after an autopsy
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
All: Can someone help me here?
Host Dr_Aola says:
@CMO:  I want a steak.  Medium rare with some asparagus and little potatoes smothered in butter.  A nice red wine would top it off nicely.
CO_Savar says:
CSO: Would you mind representing our vessel to the Vesuvius?
CMO_Kymar says:
@::turns as he enters the turbolift and smiles at her:: Aola: I prefer to chase mine around the plate before eating it
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I can do that sir.  Anything specific you want me to relay to them?  I will also pass on our recent information from the Admiral as well as discover what they have learned.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Laughs::  CMO:  Cut it off the cow do ya?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan sits on the nearest bed until someone tends to him::
CO_Savar says:
CSO: If you can, take a portable communications device with you so that if all else fails we shall be able to communicate.  Please convey my apologies to their commanding officer, and request a meeting.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Aye sir... understood.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Calls Silver back to the bridge.::

ACTION:  Sickbay is busy busy busy.... Clanging can be heard along with screaming and moaning of the injured.  Harried looking medical staff are running their butts off.

CSO_Singh says:
~~~~CTO:  I don't suppose you know any Betazeds on that ship?  By now they probably know we are here and what not, but no one likes surprise beam-ins.~~~~
CSO_Singh says:
:: Pulls up her current records and data and downloads them into a data PADD::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Nope...sorry, but once you're we can, in any case, communicate...~~~~
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Yea, more then one way.  Don't loose me just yet.~~~~  ::Smiles and turns to Silver to fill her in.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: Definitely. It's one of the only human foods that I've come to enjoy ::steps out from the TL and quickly looks over the bridge, reverting back to tactical-mode and raising his pistol slightly::
SO_Silver says:
::Nods as she listens:: CSO: No problem.  I will keep working on the telemetry you gave me of the wormhole.  They obviously used some device.
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Enters the bridge.::  CMO:  I'll head for science and see what is there.  :;walks over to the science station.  Taps a few buttons and it bursts to life she begins her search.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods and walks out slowly:: Aola: I'll see what I can find in the Captain's logs. ::walks down to the command circle, taking up the center seat and accessing the arm console, searching through the logs quickly::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Requests a portable comm unit from engineering to be sent to transporter room one.::

ACTION:  The saucers return from Earth and re-enter the tetrahedron  As they enter, two other saucers exit.  At the same time, several beings beam into the bridge - all translucient and organs can be seen.  The Bridge security raise their rifles.

CSO_Singh says:
:: As the computer bleeps it is finished, she reaches for her tricorder.::  CO:  I will contact you as soon as I am aboard sir.
SO_Silver says:
CSO:  Commander...
CO_Savar says:
::Stands from his chair to face the beings::  Aliens: Who are you, what do you want.
CSO_Singh says:
:: Turns around and opens her tricorder to scan them.::

ACTION:  The beings point to several of the tactical officers and they are absorbed in light.  They also point to the CSO but she is beamed quickly away.  Gopher is on transporter duty having gotten out of the brig..  She appears in the transporter room.

Host Aliens says:
::Ignore the Capt.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::to himself:: Maybe I should just lay down and take a nap, better yet, I'll just return to duty ::he gets up from the biobed and heads back to the bridge::
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks surprised at Gopher::
CO_Savar says:
Security: Security, neutralize them.
CTO_Jarot says:
::draws his phaser and opens fire::  CO: Captain, get into cover... they don't want to talk...

ACTION:  Several of the aliens appear throughout the ship.

Host Gopher says:
::Does a little bow.::  CSO:  Hello Ma'am... Going on a trip?

ACTION:  Three of the aliens fall down dead.  Their captives fall to the ground dead also.

CSO_Singh says:
Gopher:  Your timing was... we'll talk about it later.  ::Realizes she just escaped by the skin of her teeth.::
CTO_Jarot says:
:.grumbles as he takes cover behind his console, glancing at the other officers hiding behind their consoles::  Self: Darn it...  *Johnson*: Status report, Lieutenant..we're being boarded...  ::glances and fires his phaser at the aliens once again::
Host Gopher says:
::Reb:: CSO:  My timing is always impeccable Ma'am.  ::Too by the book for Gopher as he tries not to gag.::  Are you still going to the Vesuvius?
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  I am down in the transporter room.  What is the situation up there?~~~~
CSO_Singh says:
Gopher:  One moment...
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Don't ask...we're being boarded by aliens from the Tetras... they've killed a few crewmembers already, we'll need to make a stand soon...~~~~
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*:  Shall I proceed to the Vesuvius?
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: Go, Commander!
Host Alien says:
::Lightening comes out of his fingers and he fries the console the CTO is hiding behind sending him flying backwards::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps onto the lift:: TL: Bridge
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: It seems the last logs were....hurried. They speak of transparent aliens, the crew being caught up in a bright light...
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at Gopher.::  TC:  Beam me over.
Host Gopher says:
::Hides slides up the console.::  CSO:  Beaming over.  Have a nice Trip Ma'am.  Please don't get shot it would be very distressing.
CTO_Jarot says:
::hits the back panel behind him, moaning as he tries to get a clear sight again, blinking with his eyes rapidly::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::sighs and looks up from the console:: Aola: The video was erased, no playback available. ::stands up slowly, clutching his phaser pistol tighter::
SO_Silver says:
:: Phaser in hand, she uses her chair for protection, aims and carefully fires::
Host Dr_Aola says:
@ CMO: We got some telemetry on science but not much.  Pretty much confirms what was said on the logs.

ACTION:  One of the aliens target the Captain as another targets Silver..  Several Security have been thrown across the bridge.

CSO_Singh says:
% ::An expression of surprise from Gopher's comment as she finds herself aboard the Vesuvius, not so sure it was a good idea she left.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::thinks for a moment:: Aola: "You have what we need"...The logs say that the beings were transparent, see-through...no mention of organs being seen through that. Perhaps they steal the organs to stay alive?
CTO_Jarot says:
::as he slowly regains his composure and fires at the aliens targeting the Captain::  CO: Captain, we need to vacate the bridge immediately... and make a stand on strategic points on the ship....
CO_Savar says:
::Dives out of the way of the incoming alien - not what he needs with his recently healed back::
SO_Silver says:
:: Fires at the alien staring at her.::  Alien:  Staring is rude...
Host Dr_Aola says:
@::Slowly looks over to him.  Ponders that thought.::  CMO:  Possible, possible..  ::Runs a hand through her hair.::  What about people from their own world?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::As the lift doors open, Ewan sees phaser blast flying all over the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::shrugs:: Aola: Perhaps none of them have organs...maybe they had their organs stolen as well?

ACTION:  Commander Singh appears on the bridge of the Vesuvius much to the surprise to everyone there.  Security on the Vesuvius bridge raise their weapons as the stand off begins.
