Episode 199 “Tempus Fugite, Part 6”:  The crew of the Luna are faced with a problem, how to get the crew of the Lampo off the ship if they don't want to come?  There would appear to be just one obstacle to this a human by the name of Pappas, however in nearly seven decades who knows what the political situation is onboard the forsaken vessel.  Could removing Pappas just add fuel to an already potentially disastrous situation?  Meanwhile there is another mystery.  The Lampo appears to be venting energy from her slipstream core when it reaches a specific level, what is venting this energy and why and can it be shutdown safely?

MO_Lynch says:
::in the CMO's Office working with T'Neer in the Cargo Bay preparing for the crew of the Lampo::
Host CO_Savar says:
::In the command chair of the Luna::
MO_Lynch says:
::wondering why nobody else has thought to contact the Slipstream Project Personnel and ask for Technical Assistance in the situation::
FCO_Shania says:
::at helm, sending orders to an OPS team to clear out Cargo Bay 4::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Standing in the same room with the two faction leaders::
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: So? Do you wish to view engineering and try to shut down the core?

ACTION: On the Luna the FCO begins to detect some strange readings about 5000 metres off the Lampo’s bow, it looks like the Chronoton particles are converging...

FCO_Shania says:
::checks a blinky light[tm] on her console::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'm getting some weird readings here, about 5000 meters off the Lampo's bow. The Chroniton particles seem to be converging.
MO_Lynch says:
::is confident T'Neer has everything under control he decides to head to the bridge and witness the horror... err... progress::
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Converging?  What do scans of the area reveal?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'm picking up a distress call from that area.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: Yes, lead the way
Host CO_Savar says:
::Furrows his brow::  FCO: Is there... a ship?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I guess so.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: But I can't be sure, I'm only detecting the beginnings of a temporal rift.
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives on the bridge just in time to hear "temporal rift" and has the urge to say "I told you so" but somehow it just wouldn't be enough::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks over curiously::  FCO: Continue to monitor the rift for a vessel.  Put the hail on screen.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye. ::opens channel, putting it on screen::
MO_Lynch says:
::stays near the SCI Consoles at the rear and listens in::
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: Excellent.  Rumar will accompany us ::heads off towards what is probably engineering::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::Ewan follows, though leery of the company he is with::
FCO_Shania says:
MO: Hey doc, while you there, can you monitor that rift for me?

ACTION: The distress call is horrifically distorted, it reads: "...ayday" ::static:: "-ederation shuttle d'tagh" ::Static:: "temporal phenomenon" ::Static:: "-eed assistance"

MO_Lynch says:
::steps up close to the rear of the Command Chair and leans over quietly::  CO: Anything I can be of assistance with Captain
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: Why are you so afraid to leave this ship? Do you really enjoy blinking in and out of existence?

ACTION: In what could be a rather pleasant lightshow a Federation shuttle is expelled from the rift and begins drifting towards the Luna

LT_Augustus says:
#::struggling to control his shuttle craft and maintain hull integrity, and beginning to wonder what is happening, puts his distress call on automated response::
MO_Lynch says:
::looks at the FCO::  FCO: I don't have the technical know how for that Commander.  You'd have better luck getting the Stewart to do that
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks curious::  FCO: Lock onto lifesigns on that vessel and beam them aboard.  MO: I believe we are having unexpected guests...
LT_Augustus says:
#::Looks up to see him bearing down on two Starships::
MO_Lynch says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: So it would appear
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: I am not "afraid" to leave this ship, this is my home, this is all of our homes ::looks defiant and leads the group down a series of corridors::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'll try.
FCO_Shania says:
::tries to lock onto any lifesigns on the shuttle::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: Have you ever thought of the family you may have out there?
MO_Lynch says:
::steps through the TL door and heads for the transporter room::
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: They are not my family, my family is here ::has real venom in the words::
FCO_Shania says:
::checks if all the assigned OPS teams are doing their jobs::
LT_Augustus says:
#COM: Luna: Unidentified Vessels, This is Lt Augustus of the IKS QIb Mayday, no engine functions, life support nominal hull integrity failing
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives in TL Room Two::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::approaches one of the corridors of crew quarters, having split up from the CMO and uses a tricorder to scan for lifesigns, rather than putting any more strain on herself by trying to sense them::
MO_Lynch says:
::nods at the TL Room Operator waiting to see when the 'guests' arrive::
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: Augustus: Lieutenant, this is the USS Luna.  Please stand by for transportation.
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Attempt to lock a tractor beam on the shuttle to prevent it from slamming into any of our ships.
Host Captain_Rumar says:
@::follows patiently behind:: CIV: You see for many this ship is home, the universe out there is an alien place
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: You know, you may think your safe on this ship, but your not. You're going to perish here, along with any other foolish enough to stay here.
LT_Augustus says:
#COM: Luna: I repeat this is Lt  Augustus ::hears the comm... USS Luna::
FCO_Shania says:
::orders a SEC team down to Sickbay, then beams one person from the shuttle there::
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: We have only your word on that... ah here we are ::motions to the engineering doors::
LT_Augustus says:
#COM: Luna: USS Luna this is Augustus standing by
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Rumar: I understand, but this "home" is going to be destroyed whether you like it or not.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I've beamed one person from the shuttle to Sickbay. Security should be there any minute.
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Understood.  Please inform the MO.
FCO_Shania says:
::tries to get a lock on the shuttle::

ACTION: Lt Augustus appears in Sickbay

MO_Lynch says:
::begins shuffling his feet in the TR::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Taps his combadge::  *CIV*: Captain MacPherson-Quest.  Is there any progress to report?
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::detects approximately 60 lifesigns in various quarters:: Self: Avon calling. ::smiles:: ::prepares to go door to door::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: This isn't only coming from me, this is coming from science officers on the Luna who tell me and I just relay it to you.
LT_Augustus says:
::stands shocked in a strange area, that appears to be a med bay::
MO_Lynch says:
<TR Operator> ::notes the reading on his console:: MO: Sir?  It seems our guest has been beamed directly to Sickbay.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: Nothing much hasn't changed. Some are willing to leave, but others are not.
MO_Lynch says:
::rolls eyes and steps out into the corridor at a brisk pace::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::approaches the first door and sounds the chime::
FCO_Shania says:
MO: I've just beamed a passenger from the shuttle to Sickbay.
MO_Lynch says:
::sounding a bit out of breath as he jogs through the corridors:: *FCO* Thanks Commander....
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::standing back from the door with her hands at her sides with nothing in them::

@ACTION: As the CNS presses the chime a hand covers her mouth from behind and she finds herself dragged out of the corridor into the room behind her

LT_Augustus says:
::Heads for the hatchway, thinking the USS Luna what’s it doing in our patrol area::
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives in Sickbay out of breath and as the doors fully open he leans one hand against the door jam and holds his chest with the other::
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Understood.  The shuttles are ready to begin the process.  I shall check in with the others to begin.
LT_Augustus says:
::Looks at the out of breath individual blocking his path::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: You OK?
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::cannot sense anything, as she cannot reach her Canar and her abilities have already been over-used; she didn't even know there was anyone behind her::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::makes an effort not to struggle::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Rumar: You should have those ready and willing to leave gather so that our shuttle may begin to transport them over to the Luna
MO_Lynch says:
::notes an Officer with Lt pips standing there::  Augustus: Lieutenant... where is our new guest?
MO_Lynch says:
::not yet familiar with all the crew as he is still relatively new::
LT_Augustus says:
::looking at the MO::
Host Anteac says:
@::removes his hand from the CNS mouth and whispers in her ear:: CNS: Please don't scream, we need your help.
LT_Augustus says:
MO: That would probably be me, now where is the bridge I need to warn the Captain and contact my ship
MO_Lynch says:
::lifts his hand off the door jam and steps into Sickbay allowing the doors to close::  Augustus: You??  ::holds up a hand::  Now now... not so quick.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Rumar: The doctor and counselor will take them where they need to go.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: ::turns to him and smiles gently, even though she's scared crapless:: That's what I'm here for. What do you need?
MO_Lynch says:
::motioning toward a bio-bed:: Augustus: Now if you'll sit here please.  ::grabbing a Tricorder::
Host Captain_Rumar says:
@CIV: I have already informed them to be ready, when your shuttles dock you will find them waiting for you... although there will not be many ::hangs head slightly::
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Have any of the other shuttles docked with the Lampo yet?
FCO_Shania says:
::sees the tractor pulls the shuttle away from the ships:: CO: The shuttle is safe. The tractor is pulling it away.
LT_Augustus says:
MO: Just out of curiosity, why is that?  No offense I am a LT on a specific mission and need to advise the CO of this vessel of a danger that lies within this area a temporal rift, or something
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Checking, just a second...
FCO_Shania says:
CO: The first one is docking right this moment.
LT_Augustus says:
MO: and besides that I must notify my ship that I am safe and then be on my way
MO_Lynch says:
::lifts up a hand::  Augustus: Your on the Luna now and you'll do what the doctor orders  ::sees the Security Personnel finally arrive:: or you'll have to talk to them.  ::pointing::
Host Anteac says:
@CNS: Its Pappas, he is quite mad, he will not allow us to leave.  He is prepared to destroy the ship to prevent us leaving... you have got to help us.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: A shuttle can land at any time now, there is a group waiting.
MO_Lynch says:
Augustus: Now sit.
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Thank you.
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: The first is docking right now.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: How much further?
LT_Augustus says:
MO: You’re a Doctor, not a med tech? ::finally notices the rank insignia, and looks at the security team, and gives them his quick professional once over glare::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: Excellent, but it will be the only group for the time being.
FCO_Shania says:
::checks with the teams down in the Shuttlebays::
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: We are here... ::taps a code and opens the engineering door, steps inside::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: They wont stop me, and a little manners might get a bit more cooperation, first I must warn the CO logic would dictate that Doctor!
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: What should I do? ::trying to focus on the situation, in spite of a massive psilosynine depletion headache::
MO_Lynch says:
::begins scanning the LT::  Augustus: So you say you are on a dangerous mission and you ran into a temporal rift?  Tell me about it.
FCO_Shania says:
::gets an ok from the teams::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: No one said anything about a dangerous mission, just a specific one, the comm unit Doctor, and is this a Nebula class vessel?

@ACTION: Engineering is a mess, it looks like they have been through several major wars.  Conduits hang all over the place and most of the consoles are offline.  The warp core is totally drained but to the right there is an orange glow where the slipstream core hums to itself

MO_Lynch says:
Augustus: Well let me tell you Lieutenant...  Unless you want to find yourself in one of those drawers over there  ::points at the morgue::  You'll do as I say.  ::notices the SEC Personnel pull out Phasers after the Lieutenant’s comment::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: Doctor... ::pushes the scanning device away from him:: I really must insist I am fine
MO_Lynch says:
::injects the Lieutenant with a sedative to knock him unconscious::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::takes a look around at the mess and walks towards the slipstream drive:: Pappas: So this is the infernal slip drive?
LT_Augustus says:
::thinks that something is very strange with this Doctor::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: The teams in the Shuttlebays are standing by for the first shuttles, including security. And Cargo Bay 4 is almost ready, too.
Host Anteac says:
@CNS: You need to get us all off this ship, and in one go!  He has control of the autodestruct charges, if he finds us leaving...
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Now if only the Lampo's crew would be as cooperative.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I guess you call their behaviors irrational.
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: Yes it is, we have been unable to shut it down since it engaged.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Okay, how many of you are there that want to leave?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Quite.  ::Thinks for a moment::  This strange radiation, and the buildups.  I wonder if this was detected in any tests.  Can you attempt to find any information about the technical specifications of this drive?  Or a way to contact Starfleet R&D?
MO_Lynch says:
::begins scanning him again not in the mood for anyone's garbage with all that is going on with the Lampo and notes something odd::  *CO* Captain....  I'm getting some odd readings with the Starfleet Officer from that shuttle sir.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas: I've only read about these things, this is the first I ever laid eyes on one. I've been out of Engineering for several years now.
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Odd how?
Host Anteac says:
@CNS: Nearly all of us, who would want to live here?
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* The Lieutenant is in perfect health... however...
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I have the test reports, just need to open them. Was a little curious there.
Host Pappas says:
@::moves over to the CIV:: CIV: We had a theory that the computer wouldn't let us shut it down, but we could never figure out why...
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: From both factions I'm assuming?
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* ... he has somehow been infused with Chronoton Particles after his little time travel excursion
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@Pappas/Rumar: Matter of fact, I hadn't stepped foot into an engineering compartment since my first duty assignment until now. 
Host CO_Savar says:
::nods to himself::  *MO*: Is this affecting his health in any manner?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks curious:: Pappas: The computer wouldn't let you shut it down? How strange.
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* I don't believe so sir... but it obviously has something to do with the Lampo.
Host Anteac says:
@::nods to the CNS::  CNS: We might have our differences but we all want off of this wreck.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: According to Pappas, when they tried to shut down the slip drive, the computer wouldn't let them.
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* By the way... he urgently wishes to talk with you.
FCO_Shania says:
::brings up test reports and looks over them in hope to find something related to the current situation::
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: Do you feel it would be better for me to come down there, or bring him up here?
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* .. and the computer has just identified him as one Lieutenant Augustus of the I.K.S. QIb
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: We think it was something your federation technicians put in to prevent us from aborting the test, we were just pawns in this.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Would Pappas detect it if I used my combadge to contact the Luna? I'm not exactly a technical whiz. Just enough to get through the Academy, in fact.  I know that it's a separate comm system, but I don't know if he'd be likely to detect the transmission.
Host Anteac says:
@CNS: Most of our systems don't work, you can contact them without any risk.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: Do you think that the Federation put some kind of lockout code on it to keep the test from being aborted?
MO_Lynch says:
*CO* It might be safer to come here although I believe he is a Starfleet Officer as the computer suggests...  ::under his breath:: although an abrupt one....  Security could escort him to the bridge as it would be better suited to your current needs
Host CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: That would be a... most curious situation.  Commander Shania is looking over the records we have, you should speak with her.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Alright. ::taps combadge:: *Bridge*: Ensign Nhicola to Bridge.
MO_Lynch says:
::waiting for the CO to respond to the last he hovers over the Lt with a hypospray to bring him around::
Host CO_Savar says:
*MO*: I appreciate that.  Please see that he arrives to the Bridge safely.  Savar out.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@::wishes she had an empathic sense to tell her if Anteac was being up front with her:: ::instead, she must assume he is telling the truth:: ::watching his face without being too deliberate about it::
Host CO_Savar says:
*CNS*: Ensign, Captain Savar here.
MO_Lynch says:
::injects the Lt with the Hypo and motions for the Sec Team to approach::  *CO* He's on his way sir.  ::notes the Lt coming around::
MO_Lynch says:
Augustus: The Captain will see you now.  These fine men will escort you.  ::motioning to the Sec Team::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@*CO*: I'm here with Anteac, and he says that most of the Lampo's crew would be willing to leave, but that if we try, Pappas would rather blow up the ship than allow anyone to leave.
LT_Augustus says:
::shaking his head, Gladius opens his eyes further to see what he now considers as being the "Med Tech"::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: Doctor, did you have to do that?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *FCO*: Mr. Shania, can find out if the Federation had a lockout code put onto the slip drive to prevent it from being shutdown?
LT_Augustus says:
::sits up::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: Finished?  Now can I speak to your Captain?
MO_Lynch says:
Augustus: I did... As you know... Every Starfleet Officer is responsible for the Security of his or her posting.  We didn't know who or what you were
Host CO_Savar says:
*CNS*: That is... unfortunate.  Several security officers arrived with the first shuttle - eight, I believe.  Please make contact with them, and inform them of his intentions.  Perhaps you can negotiate with him.
MO_Lynch says:
Augustus: As I said... these two fine gentlemen will escort you.  ::pointing at the Sec Team::
LT_Augustus says:
MO: Doctor ::shaking his head:: Ever think of asking? ::heads with the Security Team::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@*CO*: Arrived on the Lampo, or made it back to the Luna?
Host CO_Savar says:
*CNS*: On the Lampo, Ensign.
MO_Lynch says:
::mumbles to himself::  Self: I think I asked a few times to kindly sit on the bio-bed...  Didn't I?  ::puts the Tricorder and Hypo back in their places::
LT_Augustus says:
::Glad to have left sick bay and the Med Tech behind, smiling though that one should be serving on a Klingon vessel::
CNS_Nhicola says:
@*CO*: Very well, Sir. I'll go find them. Anteac wants to take everyone off at the same time, but I just don't think it's possible.
LT_Augustus says:
::heads toward the TL with the escort behind him,  notes approvingly::
FCO_Shania says:
*CIV* There is no code to abort the test, from the looks of the reports. But there seems to be evidence of severe safety measures.
Host CO_Savar says:
*CNS*: We'll do what we can to attempt to ensure the safety of the personnel.
LT_Augustus says:
::arrives on the Bridge to see what would appear to be a form of organized chaos::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks behind him::  Lt: Mister Augustus?
MO_Lynch says:
::pulls up Lieutenant Augustus' Starfleet Medical records::
LT_Augustus says:
ALL: Excuse me, who might be the CO?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::taps his combadge:: *FCO*: Can you try and pinpoint something that will allow me to shut this thing down please?
LT_Augustus says:
CO: Sir... ::noticing the Captain pips::
FCO_Shania says:
*CIV* I will look into it right away.
Host Anteac says:
@CNS: You have to be careful, if you back him into a corner he might do something rash...
CNS_Nhicola says:
@*CO*: Thank you, Captain. Nhicola out.
LT_Augustus says:
CO: Permission to speak?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Commander, please continue to assist Mister MacPherson-Quest.  I will return in a few minutes.  ::Looks to the tactical officer::  Lt: Mister Augustus, if you could please follow me... ::begins to walk towards the Ready Room::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye aye.
LT_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir::follows the CO::
MO_Lynch says:
::furrows eyebrows at the records then realizes that would make sense considering the current situation::
MO_Lynch says:
::gets up and decides to head to the bridge::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Steps into the Ready Room and looks at the QIb officer, waving his hand to inform the security officers they have performed their duties and are dismissed::  Lt: Can I get you anything, Lieutenant?
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: I understand. Right now, I need to report back to Captain MacPherson-Quest and Commander McDonald. The former is in charge of the away team and the latter is the senior officer assigned to the evacuation. I also need to find the security detail the Captain told me about.
FCO_Shania says:
*CIV* According to the reports, the computer should shut down the core automatically. But since that didn't seem to have happen, maybe you should just try pulling the plug on the computer.
LT_Augustus says:
CO: Thank you, however I must decline, sir there is a temporal rift or something out there, and I just need to get going, I have duties to perform and I need to contact the QIb about my safety and whereabouts
MO_Lynch says:
::arrives on the bridge and begins looking for the CO and Augustus::
LT_Augustus says:
CO: Then maybe a shuttle to continue on my way, sir
Host Antead says:
@CNS: I think your Captain is in engineering... I do not know where your Commander is....
MO_Lynch says:
::notices them missing and looks for the next senior officer::  FCO: Commander...  Where is the Captain if I may?
Host CO_Savar says:
Lt: You may find that contacting the QIb to be more difficult than you think.  She was destroyed in action several years ago.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Thank you. Would you like to come with me?
Host Anteac says:
@::nods to the CNS:: CNS: If anyone asks I am giving you a tour...
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
@::looks curious:: Pappas: Has anyone tried to pull the "plug" on the computer and shut down the drive?
LT_Augustus says:
CO: What?  Wait several years ago? ::a shocked look appears on his face:: My wife?
FCO_Shania says:
::turns around:: MO: In his Ready Room.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Okay. You should lead the way, then.
CNS_Nhicola says:
@Anteac: Which is good, since I don't know where Engineering is from here, anyway. ::smiles::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods slowly::  Lt: I am sorry.  I can provide you with computer access so you can attempt to locate any of the others, but the QIb is gone.  I'm sorry
Host Pappas says:
@CIV: I don't believe so, we require the computers limited power to provide what systems we have...
LT_Augustus says:
::reaches to the small of his back and touches the handle of his d'tagh::
