Episode 197 “Tempus Fugite, Part 4”:  The USS Lampo remains stricken in deep space.  The Away Team from the Luna have boarded her and been mistaken as "hostiles" by a civilian crewmember and have been promptly pinned down by the ship’s security personnel.  Meanwhile the investigation of the Lampo’s ill fated voyage onboard the Luna appears to have ground to a holt, with the Lampo’s Slipstream Core generating large amounts of interference as well as expelling chronoton particles scans of the ships interior are proving to be difficult to say the least.

Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Have security stand by, but not send them over yet.
Host Anteac says:
@::returns the call:: All: Talk?  You have boarded our vessel! Where are you from and how did you get here?
XO_Singh says:
:: Nods and turns toward Tolson::  TO: Have your team ready.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:puts his phaser down and shows his hands :: ALL: I'm unarmed. May we speak face to face?
TO_Tolsen says:
:: Calls down and orders two tactical teams to be ready.::
Host Anteac says:
@CMO: Step out into the corridor
CMO_McDonald says:
@ALL: Very well. :: hesitantly steps out of hiding into the corridor ::
MO_Lynch says:
::figures he can do this anytime and decides to review medical records of senior staff::
FCO_Shania says:
::returns to helm with her mug::
SO_Silver says:
CO: Captain, I am not sure if this helps your theory any, but there are a lot of extra particles of various elements, including your chronotons surrounding around the ship.  The space outside of that is void, which I believe was why this area had been chosen to begin with.
Host Anteac says:
@::watches the figure appear and lowers his rifle:: CMO: That... that is a Federation Uniform?!
Host CO_Savar says:
SO: An interesting choice.
CMO_McDonald says:
@ALL: Yes It is. I am Commander Lennier McDonald USS Luna.
Host Anteac says:
@::thinks for a moment:: CMO: The... Luna?  But we left the Luna behind years ago when our Slipstream drive malfunctioned...
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: thinks to self :: Yup that would explain it all.
MO_Lynch says:
::brings up the XO's Medical File::
CMO_McDonald says:
@ALL: We were able to catch up with you. It appears your Slipstream drive malfunctioned. How I'm not sure yet as that isn't my area of expertise. Would it be okay if I brought over an engineering team?
MO_Lynch says:
::raises his eyebrows::  Self: Interesting...
Host Anteac says:
@::Watches the CMO suspiciously:: CMO: There were more of you?  Where are they? ::clutches his gun tighter:: How do we know this isn’t some sort of trick...
XO_Singh says:
:: Listening::  CO: So time has been involved.
CMO_McDonald says:
@ALL: I will call the rest of my away team out if you wish.
Host Anteac says:
@::just nods to the CMO::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods in agreement::  XO: We should find out if these are the original crew, or their offspring.
CMO_McDonald says:
@::Looks back to the bulkhead where everyone is hiding :: CIV: Come on out.
XO_Singh says:
CO: Shall we invite them aboard?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::wonders if it is truly safe to come out from behind his place of comfort::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: It is okay. Come on out.
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Perhaps.  Based on the recommendations of Captain MacPherson-Quest and Doctor McDonald...
MO_Lynch says:
::scrolls to the next entry... the CMO::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::As he comes out from behind the bulkhead, he taps his combadge so the Luna Bridge crew can hear them. He moves over to the doctor::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Would are your recommendations to bringing them aboard the Luna so that we can figure out what happened.
XO_Singh says:
CO: Given enough time, the extra life form readings could be offspring.  I admit, that was not one of the theories I thought of.
CMO_McDonald says:
@ALL: This is our Intelligence Officer Captain MacPherson-Quest
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@XO: Just listen to our conversation for now. Then you make the call
Host Anteac says:
@::watches the newcomer:: CIV/CMO: So you are both officers on the Luna?  How long have you been following us?
SO_Silver says:
CO/XO: The Lampo’s core output is increasing.  The overall readings are still erratic, but there is defiantly a build up in power and it is not being used or released as far as I can tell.
CMO_McDonald says:
@ :: Looks to the CIV :: I'll let you take it for now captain.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Frowns and taps his combadge::  *CMO*: Captain Savar to Doctor McDonald.
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* Yes Captain.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@All: As far as I know it has only been a day
Host CO_Savar says:
*CMO*: The Luna is detecting energy buildups in the Lampo's core.  We may have to pull you back soon.  Depending on the recommendations of you and Captain MacPherson-Quest, we may also have to abandon the Lampo to save the crew.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@All: If even that, you were gone a for one moment then only reappeared.
CMO_McDonald says:
@CO* Understood. I'll recommend that to captain MacPherson-Quest and the crew.
MO_Lynch says:
::finishes reviewing the Medical files of the Senior Staff::
CMO_McDonald says:
@CIV: Massive energy buildup in the Lampo's core, We may need to abandon her.
Host Anteac says:
@::looks somewhat desperate:: CIV: Then we have returned to normal space?
XO_Singh says:
OPS: Begin refugee procedures.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@All: Yes, you're back in normal time. Look, we can finish later, we need to get all of you back over on the Luna ASAP, the Lampo can go at any time
OPS_Kanna says:
XO: It's going to be complicated. We still can't beam because of the interference.
XO_Singh says:
SO: Are their escape pods in tact?
Host Anteac says:
@::shakes his head but looks half relieved:: CIV: Its not as simple as that.  Come with us, you need to speak to our Captain, she will fill you in on the situation here.
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* Can we bring over another shuttle to load the crew in?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Commander Shania... can we get sufficient quantities of shuttles brought to active standby?
SO_Silver says:
XO: Visually, I would say yes.  Sensors, I have no way of guaranteeing that.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Anteac: Ok, but we need to get out of here very soon, or we'll all die.
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: In your questioning, discover if their escape pods are in tact.
Host Anteac says:
@::actually laughs at the CIV, a strange response:: CIV/CMO: Come on, we are going to be safe for a while longer, I guarantee it. ::heads off down the corridor::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'm sure we can.
MO_Lynch says:
::mumbles to himself::  Self: Don't ever remember the Luna ever being quite this quiet before.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::follows Anteac down the corridor:: Anteac: Are your escape pods intact?
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Looks at the CIV and shrugs :: walking in behind the CIV ::
Shirley says:
:: Enters into sickbay, sniffling as she holds her arm.::
Host Anteac says:
@CIV: I believe they are structurally sound, although they have been scavanged for equipment, I do not know if they are spaceworthy anymore...
MO_Lynch says:
::notes the girl arrive::  Shirley: What happened little one?
SO_Silver says:
CO/XO: At the continued rate of output, the ships power system will overload in 32 hours... assuming everything is in good condition over there.
MO_Lynch says:
::thinks: So much for peace and quiet::
Shirley says:
:: Holds up her arm.::  MO: Chris bit me.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: Did you hear that Commander?

@ACTION: The Away Team are led through a series of corridors, each one the same, dimly lit and severely damaged, but if they look close they can see the evidence of what has happened, key components and relays have been removed and the rest just left...

MO_Lynch says:
Shirley: Aww....  Now come sit over here.  ::putting a gentle hand on her shoulder and pointing toward a chair::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Unfortunately, yes.  However, if we move fairly quickly, it should not be a problem.  You have about 30 hours before you become star dust again.
Host Anteac says:
@::leads the away team down into the bowels of the ships living quarters and not upwards towards the bridge::
Shirley says:
:: Follows and with a slight hop jumps onto the chair and then scoots back.::
Host CO_Savar says:
SO; Thirty-two hours isn't as dire as it originally sounded.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: It also appears Commander that the corridor  key components and relays have been removed and the rest just left behind.
MO_Lynch says:
::rest his left hand on the girl's right knee and holds up a Tricorder to her arm::  Shirley: Now why did Chris do something so mean?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Anteac: What happened to the Bridge?
SO_Silver says:
CO: I did mention if the ship is in perfect condition right?  And what I did not mention, is the power output such an explosion would cause.  It is a good thing this area of space is relatively empty.
Shirley says:
MO: I don't know...
Host Anteac says:
@CIV: Like most of the ship it has been stripped for what we needed to survive and then sealed, when you have been stuck in space the bridge ceases to become important...
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: I take it they have made the ship more into a small village then a vessel.
MO_Lynch says:
::notes the reading on the scan and is satisfied there aren't any contaminants:: Shirley: Did you maybe do something to him?  Hurt him? Take something of his?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: I guess the only way to get people out of here is shuttling them back-n-forth. We can only take so many on the runabout
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Opens his mind up more to see if there is anything untoward they should know ::
Shirley says:
MO: No... we were just playing house.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: It appears so Commander
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Anteac: Are the computers still online or have they been stripped as well?
MO_Lynch says:
::nods and grabs a skin regenerator:: Shirley: I see... and he just bit you just because.... No reason.

@ACTION: The Away Team finally enters a much larger space than the corridor; everywhere they look there is equipment, crewmembers rummage through it and appear to be sorting it into two distinct piles.  More crewmembers are working these piles into other smaller piles and so on...

CMO_McDonald says:
@ :: Looks around :: Anteac: What are they doing?
Shirley says:
MO: I told him he had to make dinner as I had to feed the baby.  :: Holds up her dolly to show the doctor.::
MO_Lynch says:
::after a quick brush over with the regenerator the wound is healed.  Puts that down and grabs a hypospray::
Host CO_Savar says:
*CMO*: Doctor?  Have you been able to ascertain how long the Lampo's crew believes they have been missing?
CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* Not yet.
MO_Lynch says:
::smiles seeing the Doll:: Shirley: Well isn't she pretty.  What's her name?
CMO_McDonald says:
@Anteac: How long do you guys figure you've been missing.
Host Anteac says:
@CMO: Sorting the damaged equipment to what is salvageable and what is going to be used to be recycled in the replicator.  With supplies as limited as they are we cannot afford to waste anything... ah, here we are ::arrives at a door to a living quarters and knocks::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: We have just arrived in a large area filled with equipment spread out everywhere. Crew are rummaging through it and appear to be sorting it into two piles. More crewmembers are working these piles into other smaller piles.
Shirley says:
MO: Christina.  Chris said if the baby had to be a girl, she had to have that name.
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: Sounds like scavenging or recycling.
MO_Lynch says:
::smiles at the doll::  Christina: Hello there Christina.  How are you feeling?  ::applies the hypo to Shirley's arm::
Host Anteac says:
@::gives the CMO a stare:: CMO: 69 years ::opens the door and motions for the AT to go in ahead of him::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@*XO*: From what Anteac said, a little of both
CMO_McDonald says:
@*CO* did you get that? they figure 69 years
Shirley says:
:: Bends her head to the doll to listen.::  MO: She is sad.
MO_Lynch says:
::looks sad:: Shirley: Aww... Why?  Does she need some medicine too?
Host CO_Savar says:
CMO: Acknowledged.
XO_Singh says:
CO: That is a long time.
Shirley says:
:: Nods her head::  MO: Yes please.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: Steps through the door ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::waits for the CO to ask them in::

@ACTION: The Away Team is treated to another room that has been stripped, although this one appears to be a little bit more homely, with a single antique clock ticking on the desk that is otherwise empty.  An ancient Vulcan female looks up from the desk.

MO_Lynch says:
::moves the hypo over the dolls arm:: Christina: Now you can feel better like mommy.  ::pretends to apply the medicine:: Shirley: There.... she is ready to go home.  ::smiles at Shirley::
Shirley says:
MO: Do I have to go back?
MO_Lynch says:
Shirley: No... You can stay here for a while if you wish.  As long as it's ok with your mommy.  Shall I call her and ask?
Host Captain_Rumar says:
@::watches the away team enter:: CIV/CMO: So it is true, we have finally returned to normal space...
Shirley says:
:: Smiles:: MO: Can you really?  My Aunt says she can't call mommy.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks at the Vulcan:: CO: Yes you are, and you are?
MO_Lynch says:
::feels his heart skip a beat... and quickly recovers::  Shirley: Then shall I ask your Aunt?
Shirley says:
MO: I would rather talk to mommy.  You said you could call her.
Host Captain_Rumar says:
@CIV: Captain Rumar.  Tell me, how long have we been missing?
MO_Lynch says:
::kneels down beside the girl again::  Shirley: Well sometimes we can't always talk to those who are far away.
CMO_McDonald says:
@:: discreetly pulls out his tricorder and scans the captain in front of them ::
Shirley says:
:: Nods her head slowly, becoming very sad.:: MO: That is what my aunt said.

ACTION: The Luna shakes slightly and on the viewscreen the Lampo appears to... flicker

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks at the Vulcan:: CO: I am Capt. MacPherson-Quest, Star Fleet Intelligence and you have only been gone for a few moments.
MO_Lynch says:
::grasps Shirley's arm firmly::  Shirley: You can always come here and visit whenever you miss your mommy.  You can tell me all about her.
XO_Singh says:
SO: Silver?
SO_Silver says:
XO: Checking....
MO_Lynch says:
Shirley: ...but for now... how would you like to go for an ice-cream?
Shirley says:
MO: OK...
SO_Silver says:
XO: The Lampo’s core just surged in power.  For a moment there, I lost our teams lifesigns.
MO_Lynch says:
::checking the crew quarters assigned to the girl in the database that matches Shirley's DNA scan he discovers her identity and opens a channel::
XO_Singh says:
CO/SO: We may not have 32 hours...
Shirley says:
:: Scoots forward and hops out of the chair, holding Christina tightly::
Host Captain_Rumar says:
@::nods and stands up, taking a good few seconds to get fully upright:: CIV: It is as some of us has suspected.  Are you here to bring us home?
MO_Lynch says:
::after talking with the girl's Aunt he takes Shirley's free hand and moves toward the door smiling and talking::
XO_Singh says:
*CIV*: For a brief moment, we lost you.  You may not have the time we thought....
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks at the Vulcan:: CO: Yes, we're here to recover you from the Lampo before it disappears again. We have a runabout that can hold about 40 people, and we can always send more shuttle craft's, how many are there?
