Host Beth says:
Summary: Earth is a wasteland and the solar system spookily silent.  What happened?  Could something  that the crew did or not do in the past alter the timeline?  Are they doomed to live this bleak existence without  friends or family?

Host Beth says:
And how do they fix this if they can?  They are back in their own time but things are very, very different.   Stayed tuned....

OPS_Sanford says:
::At his station on the Bridge trying to determine the extent of the changes to this timeline.::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::running some calculations trying to where they were previously::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: taps her fingers on her chair ::

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Sir I have a  problem

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Commander, we need to find out what caused this and when.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  What is it Doctor?

CEO_Rydyll says:
::gets the report from the computer and turns to the Captain::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Runs some scans of Earth.::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::does a background check on Dawson family name::

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Right now, the evidence points to us.  However, if we can pin point the exact moment the timeline diverged from what we know we could travel back to that point and stop it happening

CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Ma'am, I have information on that white light.

CMO_Balena says:
CO: You asked me to research what the missing people have in common. Yet the are no longer in the ships computer

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: However.....we may have already done that...and that's what caused the problem in the first place.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  I agree with you Commander.  Find it.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  I understand that Doctor, but, go on what you know for a fact.

CIV_S`Sath says:
OPS: Why not just scan the surface to see how long the attack was.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  What is it chief?

OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  That could work.  We might get some residual weapon signatures.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: Sir do we have a list of the missing crewmen?

OPS_Sanford says:
::Begins to scan the surface for those weapons signatures.::

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Not written down anyway.  We could make a hard copy list.  Something that won't change necessarily every time more people disappear

CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Ma'am, I'm finding references to a white light that is associated with a temporal string.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  What information do you have?

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: Good idea sir. May I see it

CIV_S`Sath says:
::does a scan of residual weapons::

CMO_Balena says:
::whispers:: CTO: Sir you were right there is something wrong with the CIV

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: That's what I'm saying...I don’t' have one except up here  ::taps his forehead::

CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: There isn't much in the database.  Just a report that the white light we encountered has been seen and the ship dealt with a temporal string.  Not much more at this time.  I'm forwarding the information to you.

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: ....told ya

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: I am feeling perfectly fine.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::forwards the information to the Captain's chair::

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: My scans show an anomaly in her cellular structure

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Get with every department and have them write down who is missing and any information they have on them, that should make it easier.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Can you pinpoint any major grouping of populace when you do your scans as well please

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Aye sir

CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: See...delusions as well

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and adds those calculations to the scan.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  All right Chief, at least we have something to go on.

CIV_S`Sath says:
OPS: Decay rate has shown nothing, sir.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: I don't think that it would cause delusions but with out more tests I can't be certain

OPS_Sanford says:
Self:  Hmmmm...  CIV:  Either they have weapons we do not know about... or it's been a really long time.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Maybe we could calculate the spread of the current populace based on their current locations and track it backwards in time...pardon the pun.....to see if the event occurred at a particular place

Host CO_Sacul says:
All:  We need to figure out where and when things went wrong and correct it.

CMO_Balena says:
::moves next to the CO and hands her a PADD::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Do we have the time line from our last jump?

OPS_Sanford says:
CTO:  Without further information regarding what happened, we'll only be able to make an educated guess at best.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: takes the PADD and looks at it ::

CIV_S`Sath says:
OPS: Wasn't it 2006?

CEO_Rydyll says:
CO: Captain, with your permission, I'll return to Engineering and make certain everything there is okay.

OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  We're in the future again.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CEO:  Granted Chief.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: It is better than nothing

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: You mean what happened from when we were until now?

CIV_S`Sath says:
OPS: Maybe a slingshot effect?

OPS_Sanford says:
::Begins to make the new calculations to figure out where the initial attack took place.::

OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  Slingshot effect?

CMO_Balena says:
::whispers:: CO: Sir based on the CTO suggestion I had the computer scan the CIV. It shows a anomaly in her cell structure. I don't it would cause what Mr. Quchant suspects but I can't be certain till I run more tests.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Yes, before we came to where and when we are now.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CMO:  Then I suggest you run them.  What ever is wrong with her, could be a cause of concern with all this time jumping.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::nods and leaves the bridge, heading back to work::

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::starts to pull sensor readings of possible transmissions to try and establish a timeline back to their last intrusion into the timeline

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: I am fine, last physical I had I was in top shape.

CIV_S`Sath says:
OPS: We could try and use a slingshot effect for time travel if we must.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Which is exactly what I had suggested to the Captain earlier

OPS_Sanford says:
CIV:  Right now we have to figure out why things are the way they are.  If we need to do that though, I'm sure that we will.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Is there any possibility of getting to within a few months of what happened and when?

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: There is a very good possibility of doing that.  However, I have to warn you we may make things worse...or we may have started the ball rolling in the first place

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: You do remember your academy training on time paradoxes don't you

OPS_Sanford says:
::Returns to trying to figure out where the attacks came from.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  I do, but refresh my memory.

CMO_Balena says:
CO: Aye sir

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: Will there is something there now please follow me to sickbay

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: Yes sir.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Well...put it this way.  If I said the cause of the original time jump we experienced could very well have been us trying to go back and fix it

CIV_S`Sath says:
::gets up::

CMO_Balena says:
::waits at the exit to the bridge::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods ::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::follows the doctor::

CMO_Balena says:
::exits the bridge and makes his way to sickbay::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::follows the doctor toward sickbay::

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: However, if we did indeed cause the issue...then we've already gone back.  So we have to go back, because we did

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Then we have to stop ourselves from making the first error.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Over hears the Captain and Commander talking.::  CO:  How did we ever get into this mess?

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Which means we'll have to meet ourselves and explain it...which may have cause the issue

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: That is of course assuming it was us that did it in the first place

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  We got into it because we already got into it.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: How long will this take doc.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO: Exactly.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: sighs ::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  We need to know if it was us who caused this in the first place.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Were  you able to pick up any type of technology or life down there?

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: We may find some clue to whether or not it was us.  And as strange as this sound...these ships we're following might be us...or our descendants....

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Yes Captain.  The general population that is remaining on the planet is located around San Diego.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: CTO:  Makes sense.  Perhaps we need to send an away team down to gather more information before we go running amok in time.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  See if you can find out anything about how they dress and the current culture.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Yes ma'am.  I know I may be out of place saying this with Commander Santiago below decks but she would need to go down there to lead the mission.  I'm human...and it appears that as only humans have been disappearing from the ship I may be next.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::waiting patiently for the doctor::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and attempts to bring up some images from down on the surface about the general population.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Agreed Commander.

CMO_Balena says:
::steps into sickbay:: CIV: Please take a seat on one of the biobeds

CIV_S`Sath says:
::lays on one of the biobeds::

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: I feel fine.

OPS_Sanford says:
Self:  Hmmmm..  CO:  They seem to dress in the same manner as in the old west.  They don't use any technology.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Is there any active technology down there...that would seem to be out of place with this context

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: Right now you may but this anomaly may cause you to blackout

CMO_Balena says:
::grabs a medical tricorder and starts to scan the CIV::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  So, if we are the cause, then we are partially immune to paradox at this time. :: stands and begins to pace ::

CEO_Rydyll says:
::checks the impulse engines thoroughly::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  See about getting an away team together.  Dressed appropriately of course.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Scans the surface for any unusual devices or energy signatures.::

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: I would suggest a small group to minimize the intrusion..  Commander Santiago, Mr. Sanford and myself.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: nods :: CTO:  Make it so.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: Odd that I am slowly beginning to trust you. I don't trust spoon heads in general.

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: Well this little guy could have caused you to have a seizure or even to black out.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Scan for an isolated area outside of the main populace of San Diego.  I will replicate some gear.  I'm going to need some images of a typical make and a typical female so we can dress appropriately

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: Well that’s understandable since we just got out of another war with the Cardassians

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods and transfers the images to the Tactical console.::

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: I'll let you go back to duty but I'm going to place a device on your neck to monitor you. I'll schedule some time later to remove the object

CMO_Balena says:
::attaches a small device to the CIV neck::

CEO_Rydyll says:
*CO*: Rydyll to Captain Sacul.  Ma'am, did Tactical or Sciences check our quantum signature compared to anything we can scan on the planet?  We may be dealing with a quantum flux that put us in the wrong reality.

CTO_Quchant says:
::programs the replicator to make two similar human male outfits for himself and Sanford and .....raises eyebrows at the...amount of skin shown in the female outfit::

Host CO_Sacul says:
*CEO*  Good thinking Chief.

CTO_Quchant says:
OPS: Is that female image typical of those down there?

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: Otherwise I can go back to duty now doc?

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Check our quantum signature against others of this area.

CMO_Balena says:
CIV: Yes but if you feel ill return here immediately

OPS_Sanford says:
CTO:  Yes.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CMO: Understood

CIV_S`Sath says:
::heads out of sickbay and towards the turbolift::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Runs a scan of the ship's quantum signature and frowns at the results.::  CO:  We are in the correct time.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Ma'am...I just want to pass this image in front of you before I replicate the outfit for Commander Santiago...could you come and take a look at this please

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  But, are we in the correct quantum reality?

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: looks at the CTO and moves over to the console :: CTO:  What have you got?

CIV_S`Sath says:
::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

CTO_Quchant says:
::shows the CO the revealing typical female image::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::arrives at the bridge::

CIV_S`Sath says:
::sits at tactical station two::

CMO_Balena says:
::exits sickbay starts to do his rounds of all departments::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Yes we are.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: I just want to make sure you realize that Commander Santiago is going to be very....exposed...when we beam down

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  I'm aware of that, but, it has to be done.  :: smiles ::

CTO_Quchant says:
::tries to suppress a wide grin::

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Alright, then we need to fix whatever happened.

CEO_Rydyll says:
::runs a check on the warp engines::

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: Yes Ma'am!..  ::said a little too enthusiastically::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods.::

CIV_S`Sath says:
CTO: I will make sure security is run tight in your absence sir.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: chuckles at the CTO ::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  Let's not be to enthusiastic at Commander Santiago's expense.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, we are receiving a message from Earth.

CTO_Quchant says:
CO: :: clears throat::  Don't worry...I'll be ....watching closely

Host CO_Sacul says:
CTO:  I'm sure you will Commander

CTO_Quchant says:
::makes preparations for sub dermal implants and transponders::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  They wish to speak with you.

CTO_Quchant says:
::gets notified from the computer that the outfits are ready::

CTO_Quchant says:
::looks up sharply at the Operations Officer's words::

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  On screen.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  We are only getting audio.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, we shouldn't mention we are from Earth.. it may further complicate things in this new timeline.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Let's hear it then.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Puts the transmission on audio.::

Host Beth says:
<Man> COM: CO: We see you! ::static:: ....Palmarian scum...::static:: We will fight...::static:: not defeated....::static::

Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Earth: Man:  We aren't here to fight you.  We are here to help.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Attempts to clear up the transmission.::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The transmission clears up and the man can be heard clearly now.

CTO_Quchant says:
::looks at the screen::

Host Beth says:
<Man> COM: CO: Who....what?  You sound human?  How can that be?  Who are you?

Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Earth: Man:  I am Captain Kytiara Sacul of the USS Pharaoh.  It's a long story.....and you are?

CMO_Balena says:
::steps onto the bridge with a piece of paper and pen::

CEO_Rydyll says:
::finishes her checking of the warp engines and moves on to ship's power::

CMO_Balena says:
::looks around the bridge:: Self: What did I miss?

CTO_Quchant says:
::Watches the screen and  prepares for the away mission::

Host Beth says:
<Man> COM: CO: Captain Sack-yul?  You have a ship?  A real space ship?  My stars....do you realize what this means? ::sounds of jubilation can be heard:: My name is Hickock....William Hickock.  And boy are we glad to hear from you!
