USS Pharaoh
SD 10301.16

After installation of a new defensive system designed to tie deflector 
shields directly to the USS Pharaoh's warp engines, the Pharaoh rendezvoused with the USS Iroquois and USS Montreal to initiate the first phase of testing.  The Iroquois and Montreal coordinate a series of attacks against the Pharaoh at both impulse and warp speed.  At impulse speed, the new shields were unaffected by intense phaser and torpedo fire.  At warp speed, shield damage under intense fire was minute and within specifications.

Having passed the first round of testing, the Pharaoh proceeded to the Kotaki star.  Shields were unaffected by the star's corona.  As the Pharaoh proceeded inside the chromoshpere, sensors detected an accretion disk forming at an exponential rate.  The Pharaoh was unable to evade the phenomenon, and passed through the disk.

SO_Raja says:
::At post trying to figure out what is happening::
CMO_Stidd says:
::In sickbay treating the XO::
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: Report!

ACTION: The Pharaoh emerges on the other side.... the blue giant behind them...

CO_Trelan says:
:: moves back to the command chair ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::analyzing sensor data, trying to put the pieces together::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We've emerged on the other side of the star sir.

ACTION: Sensor contact is lost with the USS Montreal and the USS Iroquois.

CSO_McGrady says:
::runs a reading of the closest stars against the Pharaoh's data to determine the date::

CTO-Exeter says:
::has a urge to drink some water::
CEO_Irvin says:
::turns to the Captain::  CO: Captain, power to the shielding system appears to be holding, but I don't want to stick around to see what happens...  I've routed what power I can muster to the Impulse Engines....  
CO_Trelan says:
FCO: All Stop!  What is out position?
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: Acknowledged.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Until we find out what happened, I r-r-recommend that we disengage the shields and r-r-run a diagnostic
CMO_Stidd says:
::Taps his COMBadge:: *CO*: Dr. Stidd to the Captain.  The XO will be incapacitated for a while, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: Drop the new shields until we can ascertain position and bearing
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  We should not have survived that accretion disk...we actually captured solar matter within the shields.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We're 1 million km from the star's photosphere.
CEO_Irvin says:
::swings back around in chair::  CO: Aye...  Initiating Shield Shutdown sequence  ::begins tapping on console::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Accor-r-rding to these r-r-readings, looks like the shields caused the pr-r-roblem and saved us also
CO_Trelan says:
*CMO*  Acknowledged Doctor. What is his current status?
CEO_Irvin says:
::disengaging shields::
OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Sir... I can't raise the Montreal or the Iroquois on any frequency... and... ::frowns:: that can't be right...
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Confirmed...it seems as if our shields had some sort of reaction with the stars gravity core.
CO_Trelan says:
:: stands ::
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to run scans to get a clear picture of what happened::

CMO_Stidd says:
*CO*: He took a severe blow to the head.  He is currently unconscious and I would recommend leaving him that way for now, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Confirm. Check long range sensors.
CSO_McGrady says:
::scans for the ships::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Confirmed sir....gone....without even a trace of any kind.
OPS_H`lo says:
CO: Sir.... I'm not getting anything on ANY subspace channel... ::frowns::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Looks like the shields focused the suns ener-r-rngy and re-dir-r-rected it
CTO-Exeter says:
::Looking around the bridge:: Self: now I know I have a job here
CEO_Irvin says:
::checks power levels:: CO: Shields are down.  Reading full power available on all flight modes.  
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  Yes...and created a node...is this possible?
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: We're at an all stop.
CO_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CEO ::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: And our position is holding.
RAdm_Silek says:
::frowns and looks around over the CTO's scanner::
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: OK, people. We need answers.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: I want to know what happened.
CEO_Irvin says:
 Comp: Computer, what is the current status of the EPS Grid and Warp Power Output Nodes?
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: I have no idea, sir, sorry
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Aye, sir....where to begin....
SO_Raja says:
CSO: The evidence is r-r-r-ight her-r-re. It will take some time to figur-r-re out exactly how though
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: I want to know what impact this had on the engines.

CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I may be able to tell you what happened...but not why.
RAdm_Silek says:
<Computer> CEO: All systems functioning normally.
CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Keep me informed, Doctor. Trelan out.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Go.
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders what’s going on::
CEO_Irvin says:
::points up to the ceiling::  CO: There's your answer....  I'm commencing a level 3 diagnostic to verify the status at this time.
CSO_McGrady says:
::takes a deep breath::  CO:  Are you familiar with Cosmic Strings?
SO_Raja says:
::Continues to assimilate the data::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Vaguely.
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: Oh you mean the band on Anterras III?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Cosmic strings are Primordial matter so tightly
spun that it manifests itself in immeasurable gravity slicing though levels
of space-time. It is so dense that it actually bends space and time.
CO_Trelan says:
:: nods ::
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: Oh, forget it. I thought you were talking about the band.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Our shields work by displacing energy through space time.
RAdm_Silek says:
::listens to the CSO::
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: I got to know the lead singer quite well. If you know what I mean.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Our shields interacted with the suns gravity to create what is called a node...
CTO-Exeter says:
::grins, then looks at the viewscreen ::self: should have stayed Tactical Officer, life would be easier.
FCO_Khrex says:
SELF: Uh huh... cosmic string, space time, node...
FCO_Khrex says:
SELF: cosmic string, space time, node... oh my!
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  A node is only a theory, but it is a phenomenon that creates a period of stabilization for a cosmic string to manifest itself in our dimension.
SO_Raja says:
::looks at the FCO:: FCO: No, what do you mean?
CEO_Irvin says:
::swings around to face the CSO::  CSO: So, in essence, the shields, in that they were formed using converted warp plasma, formed sort of an out of whack static warp bubble?
CSO_McGrady says:
FCO:  Yes...they actually sucked in matter, but remained inside the shields.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: In essence, our shields acted as a lens, which somehow created this node.

ACTION: LRS detect a large vessel approaching....

CO_Trelan says:
CSO: So how is it that the matter inside the shields didn't affect the ship itself?
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: have a large ship on LRS, sir
CEO_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes::  All: Figures
FCO_Khrex says:
::sees alert on the console::
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: Identify.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Only veering into the object within four seconds saved
the ship. Because the ship moved faster than gravity moving at the speed of
light, the ship actually passed through the accretion disk before it had a
chance to crush the ship.

ACTION: Vessel is unknown configuration..... Romulan signature.

SO_Raja says:
::hearing the CTO, re-directs sensors towards the new ship::
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: Unknown Configuration, but it looks like rommies
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: Red alert! Battlestation!
FCO_Khrex says:
SELF: Great... cosmic strings, space time, nodes and Romulans... oh my!

CSO_McGrady says:
::jumps to his station::
SO_Raja says:
CO: Confir-r-r-med. R-R-Romulan signature
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: Try to hail them.
FCO_Khrex says:
::prepares a series of evasive maneuvers::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Wher-r-re did they come fr-r-rom?
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  I'd assume Romulus...
CEO_Irvin says:
::hears the word 'rommiees' and hits the intercom::  *Engineering* Irvin to Engineering, Aux power to hot stand by....   We need to get that stupid shield out of the way of our standard shields...  Mr Kinniemon, rip the panel off that thing I'm on my way down.
CTO-Exeter says:
CO Have more data, sir. ::looks at his console ::vessel is double hulled and double shielded. The vessel seems like a cat, non-descriptive colors and two glowing portals make it seem like an eagle and has definite Romulan energy signature.
FCO_Khrex says:
SO: I was gonna say Vulcan... but I guess Romulus is a better answer.
CEO_Irvin says:
::gets up from chair and heads to the lift::
SO_Raja says:
::Does a quick scan of the area::
CEO_Irvin says:
::entering the lift::  CO: I'll have us back on standard defenses in two shakes....   
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: New Romulan vessel?
CO_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CEO as he leaves the bridge ::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I don't see any other-r-r feder-r-ration ships in the ar-r-r-ea
::Hears the alert sirens and begins prepping sickbay for the possible casualties::  Medic: Go and start preparing the mess hall for triage.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  Confirmed...unfortunately.
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: Never  and I mean never seen the likes of it.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: What happened to the Montreal and Iroquois?
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: Analysis. What effect will our weapons have on them if we get into a heated battle?
CMO_Stidd says:
<Medic> CMO: Aye sir. :: Leaves the room to follow the orders given::
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: Almost any Romulan ship  is in the Sf database so I know them all,sir
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I am getting confused. Our-r-r tr-r-rip must of done mor-r-re than cr-r-reate that disk
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: I have no idea, maybe Science can get some data on their shields and armor, sir?
RAdm_Silek says:
::frowns and looks at the viewscreen::
CO_Trelan says:
Self: Something isn't right here. Unidentifiable Romulan vessel, no Federation ships...
CEO_Irvin says:
::enters Main Engineering, walks over to the ladder and slides down, then walks over to the left side of the warp core where the shield generator is sitting, still glowing a blue hue::  ALL: We need to disconnect this thing...    ::attempts to access the main shutdown sequence so that access to standard shielding can be regained::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, how should I proceed?
SO_Raja says:
::Goes back to the sensor readings::
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  Cosmic strings...and anything in their proximity...do not obey the laws of physics that our dimension does.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Can you get a reading?
CO_Trelan says:
FCO: Keep us at the ready. Don't jump the gun yet.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Is it possible that the str-r-ring displaced us somewher-r-re else also
CTO-Exeter says:
:;opens comm:: Comm: Unknown Ship: This is the USS-Pharaoh, please identify yourself?
FCO_Khrex says:

R_CO_Rlgor says:
@COM: Pharaoh: CTO: This is the Imperial Guard, you are in a war zone. Identify yourself and your purpose here.
CEO_Irvin says:

CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Sir...this certainly seems to be a Romulan vessel, but not of any type I've ever seen, or our databanks, for that matter...
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Warzone? I thought this was federation space?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  She is double shielded and double-armored on the hull.
CTO-Exeter says:
Com: Imperial Guard: Putting you on speaker so our Captain can answer your question. :;puts the IG on speaker::
CO_Trelan says:
FCO: Me too.
CEO_Irvin says:
::moves around the small table to another angle and brings up a drive and defensive system status monitor::
CTO-Exeter says:
CSO: What kind of Armor, standard Romulan or unknown???
SO_Raja says:
CSO: I might offer-r-r a theor-r-r-y to what is happening
CO_Trelan says:
COMM: Rom Vessel: This is Captain Trelan Drukkar of the Federation starship Pharaoh. You are in Federation space. Please explain yourself.
CSO_McGrady says:
CTO:  Unknown...unfortunately.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO: Go ahead, Mr. Raja.
CEO_Irvin says:
::starts an open-ended comm with the bridge as so to hear what is going on::
R_CO_Rlgor says:
@::waiting impatiently and then hears the word Federation and is confused:: COM: Pharaoh: CO: Federation? There is no Federation.
CTO-Exeter says:
CSO: nuts, Well  we will find out sooner or later.

SO_Raja says:
CSO: With the ener-r-rgy focused thr-r-rough the shields, it might of opened up a 'door-r-r' to another place in the space-time and we went thr-r-rough
CO_Trelan says:
Self: No Federation?
CO_Trelan says:
:: motions to the CTO to pause connection ::
SO_Raja says:
CSO: That would explain what is happening
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: From the conversation with our new friend, I'd tend to agree.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Ok, no Federation... I'd say we're knee deep in it now.
SO_Raja says:
::Runs some calculations::
R_CO_Rlgor says:
@::motions one of his team to start to translate the foreign language so they can understand it more clearly::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Check the sensor logs for a dimensional shift.
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: I think we are in a parallel dimension
SO_Raja says:
CSO: It might be possible to r-r-r-ecr-r-reate the incident by back tr-r-r-acking our-r-r flight path and going thr-r-rough the door-r-r again. Maybe
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Look for cronotonic particle displacement.

CTO-Exeter says:
 CO: Suggest we ask to beam over and explain the situation, sir?
CO_Trelan says:
COMM: Rom Vessel: I am afraid there is something wrong. I am currently having my officers check for a spatial dimensional shift. I think it is possible that we are from a parallel dimension.
CSO_McGrady says:
SO:  Keep working the problem...there must be a solution.
R_CO_Rlgor says:

CO_Trelan says:
*CEO* Acknowledged. We are a current course to Earth. Fix as much as you can en route.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, ETA to Sol is 2 minutes.
CSO_McGrady says:
::scans for Earth...or something like it::
CO_Trelan says:
:: smiles :: *CMO: For now.
CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Report.
CEO_Irvin says:
::walks into the lower lift headed towards the bridge::  *CO* Aye Sir.  I'm en route to the bridge to supervise from up there.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Anything on LRS?

ACTION: Earth appears on sensors... no lights... no satellites... no COM traffic... no orbital installations... no Jupiter Station... No sign of contemporary industrial life at all

SO_Raja says:
::Runs a graviton wavelength comparison scan::
CTO-Exeter says:
::looks at the view screen and sighs:: Self: Been a long time since I've been on earth
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Earth is there sir ::puts her on the viewscreen::  but there is no sign of any kind of advanced civilization.
CEO_Irvin says:
::enters the bridge looking a little tired, tattered, and some electrical burns on both sleeve cuffs - walks over to bridge engineering station::
RAdm_Silek says:
::frowns::
CO_Trelan says:
:: turns toward the viewer ::
CMO_Stidd says:
*CO*: The XO is still unconscious and there was 1 fatality in that action.  The OPS officer, Mr. H'lo.  I will process the death certificate for your records as soon as possible.
SO_Raja says:
::Runs an electron vibration signature test::
CO_Trelan says:
*CMO* Acknowledged. Bridge, out.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, I suggest we fly to a neutral space port and get equipment upgrades and repairs.
CO_Trelan says:
:: looks over to the Admiral, then back to the screen ::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  I'm not reading any Terran lifesigns on the planet, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
FCO: I would tend to agree...but I'm afraid that might not be possible.
CO_Trelan says:
:: can't take his eyes from the viewer ::
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: Suggest we visit Vulcan, sir
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks over to the FCO::  FCO: Do you know where one is Mr. Khrex?
SO_Raja says:
::Compares molecular density on the matter in this place against the ships density::
FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: We can always emit a general distress call. Get directions.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Sir...this is extraordinary...
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: We're alone here. We need all the allies we can get.
CEO_Irvin says:
FCO: Yeah... That will lead those Romulans or whatever they are right to us....

ACTION: No human lifesigns.... but sensors detect   dinosaurs... instead.

CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  The planet is populated by....dinosaurs...they’re all over the place.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: It's as if they never went extinct.
FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: What about the Klingons? The Romulans are at war with them right?
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: :: wrinkles brow :: Dinosaurs?
FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
CEO_Irvin says:
FCO: Who knows.  ::raises eyebrow and eyeballs station::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Affirmative sir...::puts a herd brontosaurus on the viewscreen::
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: I think their never was that meteorite so the things never gone instinct, so in theory they never evolved to mammals ergo to us, sir
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  I believe the CTO is onto something.
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: But how is this possible?
SO_Raja says:
CSO: Hear-r-ring the r-r-reports. I was going under-r-r the assumption we wer-r-re in a differ-r-rent univer-r-rse. But, what if we altered time some how instead.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: You said we were in the same time...
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Yes, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Same place, same dimension....
CTO-Exeter says:
CSO: I think I'm right, scan for any meteorite impact in the last 30000 years?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Instead of entering a new dimension, we seem to have altered our own.
SO_Raja says:
CSO: What if we 'jumped' time lines
CTO-Exeter says:
CSO: I mean 15 million years, sorry
CO_Trelan says:
:: thinks ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::tries to ascertain any evidence of a significant historical meteorological event in the planets structure::
CSO_McGrady says:
CTO:  Nothing...not anything which could alter the dominion of the dinosaurs.
CO_Trelan says:
Self: This cannot be good....
SO_Raja says:
::Working under his new assumption, scratches all his previous calculations and begins working on time calculations::
CTO-Exeter says:
CO: So we where never born, sir
