Mission Summary
Host Naye says:
The crew of the Pharaoh is shifting between the Badlands and a water planet.  They have located the USS Sojourn.
Host Naye says:
Captain M'Taras has informed the Pharaoh that a mad scientist named Persitt is responsible for the shifts and for the fact that both ships are now stuck.
Host Naye says:
With sections of the ship shifting from one place to another, the Pharaoh crew finds a shield protects them from the water and from space.
Host Naye says:
The Pharaoh must find a way to free themselves and the Sojourn before the rest of the Sojourn's crew disappears.

CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Sir am afraid I have bad news on the Propulsion Systems.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: What is it, Commander?
CTO_Teryus says:

Host Naye says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh's bridge shifts to the water planet.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Here we go again...
FCO_Khrex says:

Host Persitt says:
COM: Pharaoh: No!  You go away!  You ruin plans!  You leave now.
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Captain, it would appear that only the bridge has been transported.
FCO_Khrex says:
CO: Captain, we are without thrusters... but I bet you already knew that.
CTO_Teryus says:
::looks around him ::Self:badlands...
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: We will go away when I have a chance to try and talk some sense into you, Doctor.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: I might be able to rig some short of way to move the ship.  That the good news.  The bad news is the odds of what i rig working are barely 50%
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CEO: That would be hardly relevant, Commander, since we have been separated from the rest of the ship.
Host Persitt says:
COM: Pharaoh: Doctor?  You sick?  I no you doctor!  Must move M'Tasas.  You leave!  You mess up the fold.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: Am I to understand that you are folding space to move ship sections and people through space?
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
K'vek: For the moment sir.
Host Persitt says:
COM: Pharaoh: ::eyes brighten as he runs to the viewscreen:: You understand?
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: The general concept. I am a scientist, myself.

COM: Persitt: Yes, it is. And now, so are we.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::gets the feeling the Sojourn and themself are lab rats.....::
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: If you would allow me, I would like to send a team over to...attempt to assist you with "unsticking" the ships. Possibly even to help perfect your process.
Host Persitt says:

Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh bridge shifts back to the Badlands.
CO_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva!
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::wonders if they might be able to launch a shuttle::
CO_Trelan says:
Self: So close....
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: What if we pre a Shuttle for underwater conditions and have a crew standing by in case we can launch it
CTO_Teryus says:
::finally enters a bridge::CO:sir Reporting on duty at last...
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: No. I don't want to chance losing a third ship to this....
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: I understand that sir, but with shields up, transporting may not be possible.
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: Welcome to the Bridge, Ensign. Station.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: Commander, do you know anything about the folding of space and time?
CMO_Sacul says:
:: heads back down to sickbay ::
CTO_Teryus says:
CO: Aye sir ::walks to the tactical console and starts to monitor shields status::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: If it's like folding a dress shirt, I know exactly what you mean.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: The Pharaoh, and the Sojourn, is being torn between two places at once. Parts here and there. What we need to do is get both ships here, not there, and keep him from doing it again.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: I am some what familiar with the theories, Until recently it was thought it was impossible.  Of course before a culture invents warp faster then light speed is thought impossible.  Form what I seen so far, it appears that Persitt has made some breakthroughs but has also encounter some problems.  Much like early transporter tech
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The Sojourn's hull begins showing on sensors, one piece at a time.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::gets and idea::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Captain....
CMO_Sacul says:
:: arrives back in sickbay to find several crew looking green from being underwater ::
CO_Trelan says:
:: looks to the SO, then back to the screen where he motions ::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
All: There was mention of theroan radition early.  How large of an area?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: If you include the ironing, then I have no clue... I just avoid that all together.. I can't seem to figure those things out... it either burns my hands, or turns my shirts black... but there was this one time I got a wrinkle free shirt from a ferengi... it was a nice shirt, until it fell apart at the seems the first time I wore it....
CMO_Sacul says:
Payne: How can you get sea sick UNDER water?
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks around and realizes he's just talking::
FCO_Khrex says:
::slowly turns back to his console::
CMO_Sacul says:
<MO Payne>  CMO:  Don't ask me.  I'd say that they should go and see the Counselor instead of us.  :: chuckles ::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CEO: It is a narrow band. Enough to be used as a sort of transporter lock, only taking pieces at a time.
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The Sojourn appears in one piece and begins shaking profusely.
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: the Sojourn is now fully in our space, Captain.
FCO_Khrex says:
::looks at the viewscreen::
CO_Trelan says:
SO: Can we keep it here?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: That can't be good for the hull.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
K'vek: How narrow?  Are we and the Sojourn with in this band?
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Unknown, sir.
CTO_Teryus says:
::notices Sojourn::
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: What about us? Are we here...intact?
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: I suggest that we contact the Sojourn to move out of the area if they can.  Perhaps the can clear the effect space.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::checks to see if all there system are present::
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Sojourn: Captain, we are reading that you are fully intact. Get out of here if you can!
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh's viewscreen is filled with a brilliant explosion.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Ok, that is definitely not good for the hull.
CO_Trelan says:
:: closes eyes as he lifts an arm ::
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: As the light dies down, no debris is seen.  The space where the Sojourn was is empty.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: Negative sir we missing several system.  Mainly Auxiliary systems.
CO_Trelan says:
Self: By the Prophets....
CTO_Teryus says:
::and there goes another good ship::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Sir, sensors do not detect any debris. It is as if they were never here.
CO_Trelan says:
SO: So it's possible that she isn't destroyed, just...gone.
CTO_Teryus says:
::looks back to console::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Possible, but unlikely. Everything we have witnessed thus far has proven to be a failure.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
CO: He may have gotten his folding system working.
XO_McGrady says:
::as the turbolif doors, McGrady takes a deep breath, resulting in a cough, straightens his uniform, and enters the bridge::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CEO: I would give him a twelve point six four percent chance that he was able to make the corrections that quickly, Commander.
CTO_Teryus says:
::looks at XO and nods to him::
XO_McGrady says:
::nods at the CTO::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
K'vek: He did mange to restore the ship haul, so it possible he finally worked out the kinks, of course it also possible we just witness the destruction of the ship.  However we now that matter can not be destroyed or created.  So if the ship destroyed, were is the energy or matter that the ship represented.
XO_McGrady says:
::hangs back observing bridge activity to try and gain a sense of the situation::
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: In the Gamma quadrant....
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::prays that the 500 souls on the sojourn are still alive...
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh shifts back to the water planet.
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Correct, sir. It would have been transported, and, if what we have seen is true, it would not have been capable of handling the stress.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
All: Not again....
XO_McGrady says:
::flinches briefly at the sight of water::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::looks to see what missing this time::
CO_Trelan says:
CTO: Do we have tactical sensors?
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: Main power goes offline.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
All: We have all system in place..... Perhaps ....::watches as it get dark::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Ahhh!!!
CTO_Teryus says:
CO: No we don't have them!...as well no others...
CO_Trelan says:
Outloud: Arrrrrrgggghhh!
XO_McGrady says:
CEO: Auxiliary power.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Not afraid ::coughs:: of the dark, are you, Mr. Khrex?
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::Begins trying to restore power, shutting down less important system to reduce the strain on emegerny systems::
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: Water begins dripping on the CTO's head.
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: No, sir.
CTO_Teryus says:
::stands back as he looks the water dripps::ALL: We have hull breach!
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
XO: Working on it  Sir
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: Just caught me off guard, that's all. Like an instinctive primal yell.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Understood.
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: All power is restored, for no reason whatsoever.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::Watchs as all power comes back::
CO_Trelan says:
Self: I've had enough of these games.
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Ahhhhh!!!
Host Persitt says:
COM: Pharoah: You see that?  You see that?
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Bring forcefields back up to protect the hulls integrity,
CO_Trelan says:
XO: Commander McGrady, assemble a team.
CO_Trelan says:
CEO: GHet those transporters working...now.
XO_McGrady says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Teryus says:
XO: aye
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::is tried of begin the RAT, wants to bet the cat::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Ensign, you're with me.
CTO_Teryus says:
::brings back force fields:: CO: fields recovered
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: Yes, we see that. What did you do?
CMO_Sacul says:
:: heads back to the bridge, soaking wet ::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::checks the transporters::
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: The leak stops.
CTO_Teryus says:
::Walks to the XO::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: arrives on the bridge ::
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Uh... doctor? You're supposed to take a shower without your clothes on.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO:  Set your phaser to maximum stun.  ::does the same::
Host Persitt says:
COM: Pharaoh: You ask them!
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Perhaps I could be of assistance the next time you... uh... nevermind.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::shakes the water out of his fur as he works on the transports, not a happy Caitian.  Fur wet.  Ship system messing up::
XO_McGrady says:
::looks up:: CMO: Doctor, welcome...you're with me.
CTO_Teryus says:
::sets phaser to maximum stunt::
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: Ask who?
Host Persitt says:
#<M'Taras> COM: Pharaoh: Sojourn to Pharaoh, please come in.
CMO_Sacul says:
:: looks down at her clothes :: XO:  You can't be serious, sir.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Sojourn: M'Tarsas...you're alive. I must say, I'm surprised.
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: It was that, or a cleverly crafted joke at your expense.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Sojourn: What happened?
XO_McGrady says:
CMO:  I want a doctor with me if things go south.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
XO: Transporters are currently working.  If you want to go I suggest you do so before they stop  ::glares as the Persitt::
Host Persitt says:
#<M'Taras> COM: Pharaoh: I wish I know.  Our systems came online and get got thrown from the planet surface.  We are in orbit of Senoch now.
CMO_Sacul says:
FCO:  You know, I think your due for a physical.
CTO_Teryus says:
XO: Sir what is our task?
XO_McGrady says:
CO: Captain, the team is prepared...your orders?
CMO_Sacul says:
XO:  ALright Commander, I'm right behind you.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Sojourn: In orbit?!
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: No more guessing games!
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: I am? Uh... perhaps, that water is giving you a head cold? ::coughs twice:: And you're coughing... you should see a doct.. uh... yeah.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::release that the Sojourn was transporter......those this mean Persitt technology is now working? or was it some fluke::
Host Persitt says:
#<M'Tasas> COM: Sojourn: Yes, in orbit.  It doesn't appear that we are stuck anymore.  Once you are free we'll head for the wormhole to get back to the Alpha quadrant.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::shakes fur again trying to get the water out..::
Host Persitt says:
@COM: Pharaoh: Games?  No games!  Work!  My work!  It worked!
CTO_Teryus says:
::looks at XO and then at CMO::
CMO_Sacul says:
FCO:  No, I'm CERTAIN your due.  You come see me in sickbay soon as I get back.  :: smiles ::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Patience, Ensign.  ::stands by for the Captain's orders::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::begins to wonder how Persitt locks onto his target as he keeps an eye on ship systems::
FCO_Khrex says:
CMO: Uh... yes, ma'am.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: If it worked, then allow us to beam you aboard. You can take your idea to the Federation Council. They can help perfect it.
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders who he can shave bald and paint blue to take the physical in his place::
CTO_Teryus says:
CO: I have all the patience of this universe.
Host Persitt says:
@COM: Pharaoh: NO! ::screeches:: NO!  Do not leave!  Can not leave!  Persitt Diiiiieeeee!!!!!
XO_McGrady says:
::nods::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::begins to wonder how old Persitt is::
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: Die? Why would you die?
Host Persitt says:
@COM: Pharaoh: Punish!  They punish!  My cells die without this atmosphere!
CMO_Sacul says:
CO:  I could transport over and take a look at him.
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: Would you allow me to send a doctor over to look at you?
Host Persitt says:
@COM: Pharaoh: No!  No Doctor!  Need to send you home!  You leave now!
CO_Trelan says:
COM: Persitt: No. We won't leave until we know the nature of your work. I'm sorry, but you cannot be allowed just to trap a ship and use it for your own personal gain.
CTO_Teryus says:
::takes a minute to think about reason of Sojorun explosion::
FCO_Khrex says:
::wonders if Purrs Wit will send them a pair of Ruby Slippers::
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: A strange glow appears around Persitt on the view screen.
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::gets a feeling the only way to stop Persitt may be to kill him and destory his technology.  After all if the domian gets their hand on the tech the war could be restarted, not to mention anyone with that power::
CMO_Sacul says:
:: wonder if she should click her heels together and say there's no place like home ::
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: That's a neat trick.
CO_Trelan says:
SO: What is that? Can you get a reading?
CTO_Teryus says:
FCO: How did u come to conclusion that this is trick?
FCO_Khrex says:
ALL: Do you think he teaches a weekly class?
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: Stand by, sir. :: fingers dance across his console ::
CEO_Jakuharrr says:
::sees the glow and wonders if some one else has the same idea::
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: Persitt begins to transform from a midget into a tall man with dark purple skin and hair.
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: I am reading an extremely large amount of energy, sir.
CMO_Sacul says:
FCO;; Really neat trick.
FCO_Khrex says:
CTO: I saw a friend do that once back at the academy... He never told us how he did it though.
CO_Trelan says:
ALL: He seems to be...morphing into something...
CO_Trelan says:
SO: A metamorph?
FCO_Khrex says:
CTO: Although, I think he stuffed his pants with flashlights... that also might explain why he was popular with the lad... uh... nevermind.
CTO_Teryus says:
FCO: Tricks aren't logical! ::takes a look to Persitt morphing::
CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> CO: No sir. His bio readings are unlike anything I have encountered.
Host Persitt says:
@COM: Pharaoh: You forget that I did not want you here Captain.  The shield around the planet was a warning.  You Federation should learn to keep your noses out of where they don't belong.
Host Persitt says:
ACTION: Persitt's voice grows deeper.
FCO_Khrex says:

Host Persitt says:
ACTION: Pharaoh's systems read a large system build up.
FCO_Khrex says:

CO_Trelan says:
<K'Vek> Captain, we are reading a large system buildup.
