USS Pharaoh
SD 10302.13

The USS Pharaoh has finally arrived at sector 912 and were greeted by large amounts of turbulence. These were found to be ripples in the space/time continuum. These ripples were even more strong than those recorded by the previous starships that have visited this world.

After barely making orbit and the ship arrives with only reserve power working. A landing party is beamed to the surface and locates the mysterious artifact known as "The Guardian of Forever". It confirms to them that there was a change in time and begin to show them their history or technically speaking, their lack of history.

This images of the dinosaurs ruling and destroying the Earth have stopped and the Guardian is once again silent...

CO_Trelan says:
:: stands in front of the Guardian as the vision winks out, replaced with the landscape beyond ::
CMO_Stidd says:
:: On the planet watching the activity with the Guardian::
CSO_McGrady says:
::stands in awe of the vast amount of information just presented before his eyes::
CEO_Irvin says:

FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the sky::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Sir... ::still recovering from the information overload::
RAdm_Silek says:
::shivers slightly but ignores it::
CO_Trelan says:
:: turns to the CSO ::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I was able to pinpoint the point in the timeline where our histories divulged...the moment of impact of the asteroid, I believe...
CSO_McGrady says:
::shows the CO his tricorder data::
CO_Trelan says:
:: returns his gaze to the Guardian ::
CO_Trelan says:
Guardian: Can you send us to the moment of the divergence?
CMO_Stidd says:
::Is somewhat shaken by the sight of the past but recovers quickly::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders why the guardian is being weird::
COB_Ramoth says:
@ *CO*: Captain.... sensors have detected 25 of the "new" Romulan ships decloaking around us.... I believe we were followed Sir  ::voice is quite calm::
CSO_McGrady says:
Self:  Oh boy...
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: 25? That's it? I thought they would've sent an armada of at least 100 ships...
CO_Trelan says:
@*COB* Acknowledged. Self: Dagva. *COB* Has Engineering got that new shielding up?
FCO_Khrex says:
::says it rather sarcastically::
COB_Ramoth says:
@ *CO*: Sir... they are....  ::shakes from weapons impact:: firing...
COB_Ramoth says:
@::shakes head::  *CO*: Negative... ::falls on floor:: Shields are dropping fast.... 75%.... 60%....
CO_Trelan says:
Guardian: Can you send us? Even our ship above???!!!
CEO_Irvin says:
Self: Oh Dear God....   ::looks over to the CO with a concerned look::  CO: Recommend that they leave orbit now. 
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders who is flying the Pharaoh::
CO_Trelan says:
*COB* Get the pharaoh out of here! Maximum warp!
COB_Ramoth says:
@  *CO*: Captain... I....

ACTION: The COM goes dead

FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders how many Romulan troops will land on the surface to capture the Away Team::
CSO_McGrady says:
Self: Damn!
CO_Trelan says:
*COB* Ramouth!? Ramouth!?
CEO_Irvin says:
::shudders::  CSO: Doane... Scan for the ship....
Guardian says:
CO: I am made to function in one manner .. I cannot change

ACTION: The crew watch helplessly as the flaming trail crosses the sky from east to west. The trail that used to be a ship... the USS Pharaoh breaks apart in the atmosphere.

FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Maybe they went to warp.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Uh... maybe not.
CSO_McGrady says:
CEO: Gone!
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: And I left my lucky shorts on board...
CSO_McGrady says:
All:  Gone!
CO_Trelan says:
:: watches :: Self: By the Prophets....
CMO_Stidd says:
::Shakes his head at the huge loss::
CEO_Irvin says:
::drops to knees::
CSO_McGrady says:
::turns to the Guardian with a growl::  Guardian:  You could have saved them!

ACTION: The CSO detects transporter activity at 3 km for the away team's position.

CO_Trelan says:
:: draws in a deep breath, stands straight, looking at the Guardian ::
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: Recommend that if we are to stay here we take cover.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  I'm picking up transporter activity...
FCO_Khrex says:
::is prepared to restrain the CSO if necessary::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: They could be Romulans. ::breaks out his phaser, and sets to maximum::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Lifesigns?
Guardian says:
CSO: I am made to function in one manner .. I cannot change
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the despair shown on the faces of the away team::
CO_Trelan says:
:: draws phaser ::
CSO_McGrady says:
Guardian: Shut up!
CEO_Irvin says:
::gets up and composes self::  CO: The Guardian might not have been able to get us AND the ship back... But perhaps he could get us back onto the ship before we initiated the shield testing?
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Lifesigns unknown.
CO_Trelan says:
Guardian: Can you replay the history for us?

ACTION: The Guardian replays the history.

CO_Trelan says:
All: OK, everyone. Looks like we have no choice. Let's go through.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Draws his phaser:: CO: There are some caves 1/2 a click east
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks up:: CO: They're Romulans..and maybe alot of them.
CO_Trelan says:
:: steps toward the Guardian, disappearing through the portal ::
CSO_McGrady says:
All: Everybody in ::provides cover::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Enters the Guardian::
CSO_McGrady says:
All:  Move!
CEO_Irvin says:
::shakes head::  All: I think this is a bad idea...  ::Follows in. ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::waits for his turn::
CSO_McGrady says:
FCO:  Get in there, Khrex!
FCO_Khrex says:
::enters behind the CTO and XO::
CSO_McGrady says:
::follows the FCO into the Guardian::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders what that smell is::
FCO_Khrex says:
::smells the person in front of him. Can't see who it is.::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if the Guardian is equipped with a lav::

ACTION: The Away Team find themselves in a large field, the area looks worn down, the plant life same but different.

CO_Trelan says:
:: looks around ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks around::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Tricorder readings?
CEO_Irvin says:
::looking around at the surroundings::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Holsters his phaser and begins to look around and take tricorder readings::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  I'm picking up plant life...::continues to scan::
FCO_Khrex says:
::runs around to look over a hill::

ACTION: They all look down at their feet and find themselves in a path of what they thought was dirt.... but the smell confirms it as something else

CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I'm not sure what to make of this, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
Self: Great.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: So that's what I've been smelling.
CO_Trelan says:
:: moves forward onto the grass and wipes his feet ::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: I hate to state the obvious, but this appears to be manure.

ACTION: A large rumble is heard off in the distance.

CO_Trelan says:
:: turns to the CSO with a smirk ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks up at the sound::
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: Did you use the tricorder? Cause my nose could've told you that...

CO_Trelan says:
:: snaps head in the direction of the sound ::
CEO_Irvin says:
All: I think that sound is something that we do not want to be close too....
CSO_McGrady says:
::targets tricorder scans toward that area::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if the guardian provides a shoe shine service::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: We may entertain the possibility that this is Earth, and we're about to meet a dinosaur.
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: We need to find some cover.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  Whatever they are , they're huge, and lots of them are headed our way.
CEO_Irvin says:
CO: Ya think? ::looks around for some caves or other low lying cavern
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: With all these... droppings... we could hide in it... uh... maybe not.
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks around for cover::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Wipes his feet in the grass:: CO: I am getting lifeform readings.  Big and Lots of them coming this way.
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: This way...head for the tree line.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Follows the CO::
CO_Trelan says:
:: sets off at a run ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::follows the CO for the tree line::
CEO_Irvin says:
::runs after the CO for the trees::
CSO_McGrady says:
:waits for all to move and takes up the rear::

ACTION: A large heard of triceratops appear in the distance, the noise becomes deafening

FCO_Khrex says:
::being bolian he passes the other members of the away team with relative ease::

CO_Trelan says:
:: breaks through, stopping and standing behind a tree, watching the open field ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::shouts:: CO:  The good news is, I think those dinosaurs are herbivores!!!

ACTION: The CEO trips on a branch and falls face first in the dirt that is not dirt

CMO_Stidd says:
::Continues to scan the beasts as they run past:: All: Fascinating
CSO_McGrady says:
CEO: Eli!!!  ::gets down to assist him::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: If that was my alarm clock at the Academy, I would never have slept in.
RAdm_Silek says:
::runs with the away team::
CSO_McGrady says:
::chuckles at the FCO's joke::
CO_Trelan says:
:: stifles a laugh :: CEO: Are you OK, Eli?
FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: Hmm... crap?
CEO_Irvin says:
::spits out the manure and gets up::  CO: I've got *explicative removed* all over me!  Whaddda think?

ACTION: The heard is 15 seconds away

CO_Trelan says:
:: shakes head at the CEO ::
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks at the triceratops::  Self:  Beautiful...
FCO_Khrex says:
CEO: If we ever get back, I think you're gonna need like 50 sonic showers.
CO_Trelan says:
:: looks back up at the herd of dinosaurs ::
CSO_McGrady says:
All:  One problem I have is....what are they running from!!!
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Good question.
CSO_McGrady says:
::is almost deafened by the stampede::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Let's hope it's just their morning jog.
CEO_Irvin says:
::continues following folks::  FCO: I think that this one is going to require real water....   
CMO_Stidd says:
CSO: I am getting some great readings from them.  This will answer alot of questions about this period in history.

ACTION: The heard pass buy in a rush.... hundreds... thousands... of triceraptors pass next to the away team. The sound makes it impossible to hear and the heard spray the "dirt ... not dirt" all over and cover the away team from head to toe. The smell once again proves that this is not dirt

CSO_McGrady says:
::smiles at the CMO::

ACTION: The CSO's smile is now brown

FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Isn't this peachy?
CO_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva! :: slopping what he can off from him ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Well... at least we look alike.
CSO_McGrady says:
::wipes his face takes a deep whiff::  All: I love the smell of manure!
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: I think the fumes are getting to your head.

ACTION: After opening their mouths the CSO and FCO swallow quite a large quantity

CO_Trelan says:
ALL: Let's get going. We need to figure out what the hell we can do to get out of this mess.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Brushes himself off and checks the tricorder for any damage from the "mess".::
CSO_McGrady says:
::barfs::  All:  Ichhh...but I don't love the taste!
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks over to the RADM and states sarcastically::::  RADM: Give a whole new meaning to the *explicative* has hit the fan huh.....  
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: Let's head north. Stay inside the trees.
FCO_Khrex says:
::vomits on the CO
FCO_Khrex says:
::wipes mouth::
RAdm_Silek says:
::still manages to looks dignified even if he is covered::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Uh... sorry sir. I had <beep> in my mouth.
CSO_McGrady says:
::shakes off the muck, takes a deep breath, and follows the CO up the tree line::

ACTION: The away team barely hear the CO's comments the sounds being so loud

CO_Trelan says:
FCO: :: smirks :: How...unfortunate for you.
CO_Trelan says:
:: shakes head ::
CO_Trelan says:
:: continues moving, producing his own tricorder and taking readings ::
FCO_Khrex says:
::follows the CO::
CEO_Irvin says:
::begins to follow the CO northward, looking at the overly dignified Admiral::  All, but in a calm voice: I tell ya...  Even in these situations, Operations still manages to keep a straight face...  ::chuckles a disgusted chuckle::  Never ceases to amaze me...
CMO_Stidd says:
CO: The manure proves that the beast that left it was in fact an herbivore.

ACTION: The Away Team move deeper in the growth, the sound of the heard slowly dying away. Large amounts of mosquitoes begin to coalesce around the away team.

CO_Trelan says:
:: begins swating the pests as they land on him ::
CSO_McGrady says:
All: Damn!  I HATE mosquitoes!  ::starts swatting in front of him to clear a path::
CMO_Stidd says:
All: Fortunately, they hate Vulcan blood.
CO_Trelan says:
Self: If it was the asteroid not impacting, how are we suppose to get back into space to make sure it happens?
ACTION: The mosquitoes seems to like the taste of human blood.

CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Remember the readings of the dinosaurs that had evolved into a civilization?
CSO_McGrady says:
::can feel insanity growing stronger and stronger as the bugs continue to feast::
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Maybe there is an intelligent species in this time period we don't know of.
CEO_Irvin says:
CMO: Perhaps you should scan them to see if they are carrying any diseases......
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Do you detect or theorize that they are in existence yet?
CSO_McGrady says:
::slaps his neck:: CO: Yes, sir.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: Those triceratops are familiar to me....my best guess is that the evolution has not yet occurred.
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  I have a hypothesis....
CO_Trelan says:
:: sighs ::
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: Yes?
CEO_Irvin says:
CSO: Do Tell... 
CMO_Stidd says:
CEO: Good idea, although I doubt that they are.  ::Scans the mosquitoes for any sign of contagion::
CEO_Irvin says:
::rolls eyes and continues walking::
CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  You asked the Guardian to send us to the moment of Divergence....I believe it did, but without our ship.
CO_Trelan says:
CSO: That's what I figured. But how do we stop the divergence?

ACTION: The Away Team arrive at a clearing and find a slaughter. A heard of what look like raptors are rotting in the open. The decomposing bodies smell worse than the manure and the slaughter seemed to have occurred a few days ago,

CO_Trelan says:
:: breaks through and looks as he stops :: Self: Oh my....
CSO_McGrady says:
CO: That would be the prob....My God!!!  ::looks at the carnage::
CEO_Irvin says:
All: Oh Dear God! What the hell is that?
CEO_Irvin says:
::covers nose and mouth::
FCO_Khrex says:
::covers his nose::
CMO_Stidd says:
CEO: Nothing lethal with the bugs but this is another story.:: Points to the dead bodies::
FCO_Khrex says:
::vomits on the XO::
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Uh... sorry, sir.
FCO_Khrex says:
::watches as the captain falls in a pile of bodies::

ACTION: A branch swings back and hits the CO in the face. He falls back and hits the jungle floor his head falling on a rock

CSO_McGrady says:
CO:  They appear to be velociraptors...or at least they used to be.  ::holds his nose::  CMO: Captain down!
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Has anyone noticed how the captain always seems to hit his head?
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks on in amazement::  All: Beautiful.  ::jogs over and kneels down next to the Captain::
FCO_Khrex says:
::Draws his phaser in case whatever killed these raptors returns::
FCO_Khrex says:
::at least his thinks it his phaser::
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks up to the CMO::  CMO: Stidd....  

ACTION: The raptors seem to have markings on their faces.... different markings on different dinosaurs. Red... Yellow..  Blue

CMO_Stidd says:
::Begins working on the CO:: CEO: What?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Hey, what do you make of this?
FCO_Khrex says:
::points at the different coloured markings::
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks up:: FCO:  These markings....maybe we were wrong about....
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Warpaint?
CEO_Irvin says:
::shakes head:: CMO: Nothing.... 
CSO_McGrady says:
FCO: This certainly seems like the markings of sentient beings.  ::starts scanning the raptors::
CMO_Stidd says:
Self: typical human emotional responses
CEO_Irvin says:
::moves over to the CSO at the raptors, trying not to let the smell make him sick:: 
CSO_McGrady says:
CEO:  What do you make of this, Eli?
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders how the XO and CTO are holding up::
FCO_Khrex says:
::spots them looking over the CO::
CMO_Stidd says:
CSO: I believe you will find them to be of Earth but they were killed with knives
CEO_Irvin says:
::reaches out a finger and wipes some of the paint off onto his finger and tastes it::
CSO_McGrady says:
::looks up at the CMO:: CMO: Come again?
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Knives?
CMO_Stidd says:
All:  That is what I detected in my scans before the captain was injured
CEO_Irvin says:
::smacks lips and mouth together::  CSO: Might not be war paint...   It doesn't taste natural...
CSO_McGrady says:
All: Set phasers to maximum stun, stay armed, and keep your wits about you!
FCO_Khrex says:
CSO: I'll help carry the captain.
CMO_Stidd says:
All: I would need time for an autopsy to confirm it though.
CSO_McGrady says:
CEO: This is quite a situation, Eli.  Suggestions?
FCO_Khrex says:
::moves over to the captain and with his bolian strength carries the captain over his shoulder.::
CEO_Irvin says:
CSO: Search me...  ::looking over at the Admiral::  I bet Starfleet Operations wished now they had finished simulation testing on that shield now.... 
CMO_Stidd says:
All: We need to get him to a cave out of the heat of the sun.:: Points to the CO::

ACTION: Sensors detect a large grouping of small dinosaurs like the dead ones here heading towards the way team's position. 2 KM and closing

CSO_McGrady says:
::chuckles:: CEO: Agreed.
CEO_Irvin says:
::looks back to the CSO::  CSO: Stidd's right.  Our first priority is to secure the Captain....
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Which way, doc?
FCO_Khrex says:
::holding the captain over his shoulder::
CSO_McGrady says:
All: We've got company!  2 KMs off...more raptors...lets move out.. ::starts heading for some cover in the trees::
CMO_Stidd says:
::Scans for a cave in the vicinity::
CEO_Irvin says:
CSO: If we are in fact at the point of divergence, I Think that I might have an idea about what we can do....  
CEO_Irvin says:
CSO: But if my idea works, we will die in this place.  
CSO_McGrady says:
::starts moving out::  CEO: Lets hear it :: running::
FCO_Khrex says:
::with his free arm, holds his phaser::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Does anyone hears that?
FCO_Khrex says:
::sees the CSO move towards the trees::
CMO_Stidd says:
FCO: I can find no caves and I don't like leaving the CO out in the heat, especially in a jungle setting.  I could really use sickbay about now.

FCO_Khrex says:
::follows the CSO::
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Maybe the shade of the trees would provide some cover.
CMO_Stidd says:
::Continues to follow the FCO:: FCO: yes, but not much and there is no water to cool him down.
CSO_McGrady says:
All:  These raptors can run alot faster than we can....we may have to improvise.
CSO_McGrady says:
All: The following is a non-negotiable order.
CSO_McGrady says:
::enters the trees and stops::
RAdm_Silek says:
::points to the dense trees:: All: Running would not be logical... I recommend we look for cover
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Pigs on earth used mud to cool themselves. Perhaps we should cover the captain with the manure we encountered.
CSO_McGrady says:
FCO: Agreed...cover the Captain with manure.  Make sure he can breathe.
CSO_McGrady says:
All:  You knew what you where getting into when you signed up...start burying yourself!
FCO_Khrex says:
::puts the captain on the ground::
CMO_Stidd says:
FCO: Unconventional and I don't think he would appreciate it but I don't see as we have any other choice.
CSO_McGrady says:
::hits the "dirt" and starts covering himself with doodoo::
FCO_Khrex says:
::starts to cover the captain with the "dirt"::

ACTION: After the away team cover themselves, the forest opens up with a group of raptors carrying what looks like equipment and weapons ... they stare in shock at the slaughter.

FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: So I'll get demoted or something. At least he'd be alive right?
CMO_Stidd says:
FCO: Right
