Host Beth says:
Summary: The Pharaoh is back in their own time, but what has happened?  Earth is decimated with just a handful of survivors.  The Federation is non existant and the comm is strangely quiet.  What caused this?  Did the Pharaoh do anything inadvertantly?  Or maybe there was something they should have done...only time will tell...

XO_Santiago says:
::Feels the TL stop and she steps onto the bridge wearing what could be called the costume of the day, not that there was much to it.::  CO:  Capt, looks like I'll be ready to go.  ::Looks for Sanford.::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Is already in his attire for the Away Team on the Bridge as he takes some last minute scans.::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: Sensors light up all over the OPS console.  Life support throughout the ship is failing.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Raises his eyebrow slightly.::  CO:  Captain!  We are losing life support throughout the ship.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::looks over to the OPS station, concerned::

OPS_Sanford says:
::Immediately begins to search for the cause.::

XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Re route auxiliary power.

XO_Santiago says:
::Goes and finds what will be her seat today.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: tries not to giggle :: XO:  You look....fine Commander.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Attempts to reroute auxiliary power to compensate for the sudden loss of life support.::

XO_Santiago says:
::Tries to sit in a dignified position.::  CO:  Yeah right.... try not to laugh too much.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Get engineering on it.  Reroute power.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Already on it, Captain.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Lt, Engines still functioning?

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Laugh???  At you???  Never.  :: stifles a chuckle ::

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  What about weapons?

XO_Santiago says:
::Sighs::  CO:  So you are a fashion aficionado are you?

OPS_Sanford says:
CO, XO:  I'm now losing main power as well.  ::Attempts to compensate and find out what is going on.::

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Checking now ma'am.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::checks engine status::

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Any luck Mister Sanford?

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  Scan outside the ship.  See if there is a power source draining the Pharaoh's power.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Negative.. we are starting to lose systems throughout the ship.

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Weapons offline.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::starts scanning areas for power drain::

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  We're loosing power Commander.  There are fluxuations in the warp plasma relays.  ::shakes head::  Can't compensate.

XO_Santiago says:
CO: There might be something on the surface draining power.  We have no idea what to expect anymore.

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Nothing so far ma'am.

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Maybe somehow connected to the disappearing people.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Scratches his head and attempts to scan the surrounding space for any anomalies.::

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  We suffered no power drainage during those times though.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Warp core still stable?

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Let's find it Commander.

OPS_Sanford says:
Self:  Common... ::Sees the new readout on his display.::  This isn't good...  CO:  Computer systems are shutting down Captain.  We need to evacuate within thirty minutes.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Negative, warp core is not stable.  Might be able to give you warp 3 or 4.

XO_Santiago says:
Self:  Swell.   CO:  Evacuate non-essential personal?

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Wouldn't want to chance it if we had to move fast though.  ::Thinks::

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Make it so Number One.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Impulse drivers are also loosing power.  We'll be stuck here...  Ahhhh damn.  Propulsion systems just went down.  Trying to reinitialize.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Sees the new alert appear on his console.::  CO:  We're receiving a transmission from the surface.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Put it through.

XO_Santiago says:
::Hits the inter-ship communications::  ALL:  All non essential personnel to the life pods... all non essential personnel to the life pods.   CIV: Activate abandon ship.

Host Beth says:
<Hickock>COM: CO: Hey...we're reading that ya'll are having some problems up there.  But we can't see what's attacking you?  Is it those damn snakes again?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::hears the klaxon::

XO_Santiago says:
::Prays that Becky gets Conner to the Life pod::

Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Hickock:  We don't see anyone up here either.  We don't know what's happening.

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Well, the ship is very screwed at the moment .

OPS_Sanford says:
::Continues to try and figure out what is the cause on all the power drains.::

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  No kidding.   Let's get it un screwed. Find me the core problem.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: Personnel start streaming into the lifepods clutching their loved ones and a few small pets.

XO_Santiago says:
OPS/CIV:  Is there anything magnetic around here?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::throws up hands in frustration::  XO/CO:  We're dead in the water here.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::scans for magnetic frequencies::

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Keep trying Mister Hawkes.

XO_Santiago says:
::Rubs temples::  CO:  You know I vote for Quch to get out and push.  What do you think?

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Shouldn't we still be staying in motion in space?

OPS_Sanford says:
::Attempts to give some functionality back to the helm.::

Host Beth says:
<Hickock>COM:CO: Well you can send your people down here.  We don't got a lot but we got enough to share.

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Ok, call him and tell him.

XO_Santiago says:
::Flashes a grin::  CO:  Don't you ever think I won't do that Ma'am.

Host CO_Sacul says:
COM: Hickock:  It's appreciated Mister Hickock.  Thank you.

CIV_S`Sath says:
XO: Nothing I on sensors ma'am.

FCO_Hawkes says:
CO:  doing my best, sir.  ::continues to try to correct the engine power loss::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  I wonder, would the power on the shuttles be drained also?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::hears the XO but is distracted by proximity sensors::  Aloud: What the?

XO_Santiago says:
::Hears the proximity sensors::  FCO: What is that?

OPS_Sanford says:
Self:  Common... why are we losing power?  ::Checks surrounding space for anything abnormal.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  What the hell is that?

FCO_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Hey Sanford, you getting a sensor ghost on your end?

Host Beth says:
ACTION: There is an odd reading that flashes on the OPS console, too fast for anyone to comprehend it before the console goes dark.

FCO_Hawkes says:
CO/XO:  Looks like another Defiant Class ship.

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  What?

CIV_S`Sath says:
FCO: What the hell sir.

OPS_Sanford says:
Self:  What the?  FCO:  There was something.... CO:  My console is gone.

FCO_Hawkes says:
CO:  I know, that isn't hardly possible...  Is it?

XO_Santiago says:
OPS:  Hail the ship?

XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Capt please tell me it's not us.

OPS_Sanford says:
XO:  Everything is down on my end Commander.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::notices the ghost image vanish from sensors::  All:  Its gone now.

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Ok, it's not us........I think.   Self:  I hope.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: Could that defiant class ship have been us or another us from another dimension

FCO_Hawkes says:
::runs a quick diagnostic on SRS::

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: Captain.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: Reports come from all over the ship that strange readings are appearing on consoles before they go black

OPS_Sanford says:
::Tries to get his console working again.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  Yes?

Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  I don't know Mister S'Sath.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: we could check the logs for their quantum signature.

Host CO_Sacul says:
FCO:  Are the shuttle still working?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::checks shuttle systems::  CO: The shuttle appears to be operational, Captain.

Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  Do that.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  How long before the power drains out of them?  I don't want to burn up in the atmosphere.

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  XO:  Take the FCO and take a shuttle out, see what you can see.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: Seems i find nothing on quantum signature.

Host Beth says:
<Computer>All: Warning...complete power failure in 15 minutes.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Tries to get any functionality out of the ship.::

XO_Santiago says:
::Stands up.::  FCO:  Let's go.  Let's pick a Jefferies tube.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  the shuttle's power systems seem unaffected as yet.  Of course, the shuttle isn't powered up.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::follows the XO::  XO:  Aye sir.

Host CO_Sacul says:
XO:  Let's evacuate the ship completely.

XO_Santiago says:
::Pulls off one of the covers then looks down at her outfit and hastily decides.::  FCO:  You go first.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, I have a wild hypothesis.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Give the word Mister Sanford.  Get them off this ship.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Thanks.  ::enters the JT::

XO_Santiago says:
::Climbs in after Hawkes::

XO_Santiago says:
::Mutters::  FCO:  I think I should have changed...  ::Crawls after him.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::moves down a latter to deck two, opens the inter-deck hatch and continues down::  XO:  Yeah, I guess it isn't easy to crawl around in that

Host Beth says:
ACTION: A little jagged edge on the Jeffries tube catches the XO's costume and rips it even smaller

FCO_Hawkes says:
::tries not to look::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::fails utterly::

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: I hope the bridge doesn't disappear from us captain.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  In regards to some of the missing crewmembers... it is possible that we are at last perhaps suffering the same fate.. Since the technology doesn't seem to exist in this timeline, it is feasible that our systems are failing.

XO_Santiago says:
::Sighs and looks at the tear.::  FCO:  I guess I should be grateful Quch is not here.  ::Sees Hawkes trying not to look::  See something you like?  ::Tries not to giggle.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::reaches the cross over to deck three::  XO:  Ahhhh...  You know, I'm glad this ship only has four decks

Host CO_Sacul says:
CIV:  So do I.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  That's possible Mister Sanford.

XO_Santiago says:
::Laughs::  FCO:  You know.  So do I.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Activates the comm from one of the other stations.::  *Shipwide*:  This is Commander Sanford, all hands abandon ship immediately.  We are to meet near one of the settlements on Earth.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, I have transporters but I don't know how long we'll be able to use them.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  How much further?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::reaches deck four, and pushes open an access panel leading into a corridor::  XO:  Wa-la.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Transport as long as we can and then use the pods.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  third door on the right, is the shuttle bay.

CMO_Balena says:
::grabs as much gear as he can carry and orders his staff to head for the escape pods::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, you should be one of the first teams to go to the surface.  Your crew will need you down there.  There's nothing more you can do up here.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Ahhh here we are...  Well let's go and take a joy ride around the galaxy.

CIV_S`Sath says:
CO: Captain I advise you take some security.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Yeah, assuming we can get the bay doors open.

XO_Santiago says:
::Climbs out of the Jefferies tube.::  FCO:  A strong man like you can't open the door?  ::Winks at him.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Mister Sanford, when your Captain, you can go down with the ship, but until then...:: let's the sentence trail off and smiles at OPS ::

CMO_Balena says:
::exits sickbay and stops and takes one last look at his sickbay::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, you're no good to us if something happens within the last moments.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Actually...  ::enters the shuttle bay::  I was thinking a well places micro-torpedo should do the trick.

CMO_Balena says:
::makes his way with the crowd to the escape pods

XO_Santiago says:
::Grins::  FCO:  A man after my own heart.  Blow them up Lt.

Host Beth says:
<Computer> All: 10 minutes until complete power shut down.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  That’s why Commander Santiago is off the ship.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Sighs and then begins evacuation procedures.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Ahhh, ten minutes, we should still have enough power to open the bay doors.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Let’s get going then.  ::reaches the doors and hopes they open::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::steps up to the shuttle::  

XO_Santiago says:
::Climbs in a takes the seat next to the pilot.::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Let's not worry about start up procedures today.  Let's go a sees what is taking down our ship.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Starts to use the transporters to beam down some of the crew.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::jumps into the seat, initiates start up, hears a warning chirp::  XO:  Oh oh.

CMO_Balena says:
::opens his escape pod and starts to through his equipment in::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  What?  Oh oh. ....  I don't want to hear Oh oh..

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Get the rest of the senior staff to shuttles.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: Escape pods start blasting off heading towards Earth and the settlement.  Reports come through of safe landings and some not-so-safe.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::checks start up again::  XO:  Got a problem here.  the fusion initiators aren't working...  Looking like a computer link problem.  It'll take a few minutes to fix.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  How is the evacuation going?  Is everyone else away from the ship?

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Yes Captain.  ::Gets the senior officers to head to the shuttles.::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  We don't have a few minutes.  Can you fix it out in space?

CMO_Balena says:
:: seats in his escape pod and he floats way from the ship::

CIV_S`Sath says:
:::heads toward the shuttlebay::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  I'm getting reports of some safe landings.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::gets out of the seat and moves to the rear of the shuttle, pulls open an access panel::  XO:  without the initiators working, this shuttle is a stone, we can't go anywhere.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Understood.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Anything I can do?

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Yeah, the computer is still linked to the other shuttle, see if it has the same problem.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::enters the shuttle::

Host CO_Sacul says:
*XO/FCO*:  Why don't I see a shuttle with you 2 in it out in space?

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  I'm not a techie... I don't know what you just said.

XO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  We seem to have a problem regarding initiators...whatever they are.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Good, who is still left on the ship?

CMO_Balena says:
::follows the rest of the escape pods::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, we don't have time.. We need to get everyone off NOW.

Host CO_Sacul says:
*XO*  Are all the shuttles affected?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::calls up the shuttle operations computer menu, taps the button marked OPSYS::  XO:  Ask the computer to check the other shuttle for system faults.  :;smiles at the XO::

CIV_S`Sath says:
;:pushes the power button::

XO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  One moment captain

XO_Santiago says:
Computer:  check shuttle 2 for any system faults.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Is everyone else off this ship Mister Sanford?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::calls up the fusion reactor sub-routines::

CIV_S`Sath says:
*FCO*: My shuttle isn't working sir.

Host Beth says:
<Computer> ALL: 5 minutes until complete power failure

XO_Santiago says:
::Waits::  FCO:  Hmmmm I don't think the computer is responding.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::sees a red flag marker::  *CIV*:  I see the problem, give me a minute.

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  Chief, why aren't you on a life pod?

Host Beth says:
<Computer> XO: The bird dogs can fly if the purple umbrella opens with chopsticks.

CIV_S`Sath says:
*XO*: Told senior staff to go to shuttles.

XO_Santiago says:
Computer:  That is good to know.  Too bad I don't have a purple umbrella.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::calls up the back up fusion subs from the archive core, sets it to upload into the main bus, and sends a duplicate command to the other shuttle.::

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Everyone is now on the surface except for you, myself, Commander Santiago, Commander Hawkes and S'Sath.

XO_Santiago says:
CIV:  Understood.  Two minutes if the shuttle is not working you go to a life pod, understand?

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Then lets get the hell out of here.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The FCO's fix works and the shuttles agonizingly slowly start to come to life.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Nods.::  *Shipwide*:  Everyone who is remaining on the ship, prepare for transport down to the planet surface.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  You are a genius!!!!

FCO_Hawkes says:
::checks the fusion sub-routines again::  Self:  Oh yeah baby.  ::closes the panel and returns to the pilot seat::  

CIV_S`Sath says:
*FCO*: Thank the gods your a genius commander Hawkes.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Back in business

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Get us out of here!!

XO_Santiago says:
*CIV*:  Follow us out Chief.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::links to the Pharaoh and orders the bay doors to open::

CMO_Balena says:
@::feels his pod hit solid ground and starts to shut down system::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Blow the doors up if you have to Lt.

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Come on Mister Sanford.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  Captain, I think that the shuttles are working now.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: heads towards the shuttle bay ::

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  Let's get there.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::gets a green light on the engines, moves the shuttle towards the doors::  XO:  Just gonna give it a little nudge.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::follows shuttle 1::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  DO what you have to.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  I need to get something in my quarters.  ::Hurries into the turbolift.::

CMO_Balena says:
@::open his hatch and steps outside

Host CO_Sacul says:
OPS:  You'd better make it quick.

OPS_Sanford says:
CO:  It won't take long.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::bumps the shuttle into the doors, pushes through them::

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Hope you don't mind a little scratched paint.

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: hurries to the shuttle bay ::

CMO_Balena says:
@::taps on his commbadge:: *ALL*: To all personnel this is Lieutenant Balena lock onto my signal and lets set up camp here

XO_Santiago says:
::Laughs:: FCO:  I'm not the one who is going to be painting it.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::avoids the door::

Host Beth says:
@INFO: As the crew open the doors to their escape pods, it is like they stepped into an old cowboy movie.   Horse drawn wagons are everywhere, people walking around with six-shooters in gun belts.  but in the midst of all that are glimpses of crashed space ships in the background.  Salvage used for walls and a huge satellite dish turning slowly in the middle of town.  It is a curious blend of advanced technology and a John Wayne movie.
XO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  Capt, we have left the Pharaoh.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Nor I.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Heads down to the deck where his quarters are.. and then enters in his quarters.. He quickly grabs the holo-imager.  He then heads back out towards the shuttlebay.::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::moves the shuttle away from the Pharaoh, then turns to face her::  XO:  Looks like all the escape pods have been launched

Host CO_Sacul says:
*XO*  I'll be right behind you Number One.

OPS_Sanford says:
::Arrives in the shuttlebay after a few moments and runs into the shuttlecraft.::

XO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  You heading for the surface captain?

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Let's find out is going on.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@*XO*  Eventually, we all will.

CMO_Balena says:
@::goes back into his pod and grabs his tricorder::

XO_Santiago says:
*CO*:  I'll see you down there.  Hopefully with a report.

OPS_Sanford says:
@CO:  I'm back Captain.

XO_Santiago says:
*CIV*:  Chief you head for the surface and link up with the Capt.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Right, coming about.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: arrives at the shuttle bay and waits for OPD ::

CIV_S`Sath says:
@*XO*: Understood ma'am.

OPS_Sanford says:
@CO: Let's go Captain.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ OPS:  Let's get out of here.

CIV_S`Sath says:
@::heads towards the surface::

Host CO_Sacul says:
@ :: enters the shuttle and straps in ::

XO_Santiago says:
::As she looks back at the ship.  All she sees is blackness.  What isn't black, the lights and power were completely diminishing.  Other then that no damage.::

OPS_Sanford says:
@::Goes in with the Captain and places the holo-imager next to him.::

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to scan the former starships and tries to get information on them::

FCO_Hawkes says:
::gets another alarm, looks at the display::  Self:  Awe no way, that isn't even fair.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  No damage to the ship....  Activating scans.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  We need to land, now.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Why?

FCO_Hawkes says:
::aims the shuttle for the planet and engages full engines::  XO:  There is a cascade failure in the primary control bus.  Its going to fail, and I'd really like to be on the ground when it does.

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  Transporters working?

OPS_Sanford says:
@CO:  Captain, we need to hurry.  We have ten minutes before we lose power to the shuttle.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  For now.

Host CO_Sacul says:
@OPS:  Take us to the surface.

CIV_S`Sath says:
::heads into the atmosphere of earth:

OPS_Sanford says:
@::Lifts the shuttle off and starts heading out of the Pharaoh and towards Earth.::

Host CO_Sacul says:
:: sighs and looks at her dead ship ::

XO_Santiago says:
FCO:  lock onto us.  If this bucket of bolts is not going to make it...use the last of the power to transport us off.

FCO_Hawkes says:
XO:  Don't worry, I can get us to the surface before it fails.  If we loose the shuttle we will really be stuck here.

XO_Santiago says:
::nods::  FCO:  That is a true story.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: As the CO's shuttle pulls away the Pharaoh goes completely dark.

FCO_Hawkes says:
::pitches the shuttle into a steep dive, reentry phase begins::

XO_Santiago says:
::Closes her eyes and prays.::

CMO_Balena says:
::closes his tricorder:: Self: This doesn't look good

OPS_Sanford says:
::Brings the ship into the atmosphere.::

Host Beth says:
ACTON: The shuttles all land safely, barely moments before the power completely drains out of them.  They are greeted by the inhabitants and the rest of the crew on the surface.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: In the dark and eerie atmosphere of the Pharaoh a small light blinks on the FCO's console and slowly it comes back to life.

Host Beth says:
