 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
Acting Captain’s Log: Stardate 10404.06: The Captain...alive?  The away team mission continues to stray in the realm of possibilities.  Could he be alive...what really happened...there are so many questions yet unanswered.  It’s time we talked with the Storlamora...Patrick Randolph.

CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::creeps his way through the crowd to get a good view of Randolph::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sits in the command chair finishing simulations ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::still running scans hoping to find something on the planets surface:: Outloud:  Blasted Scans aren't working.  All the interference is not letting me scan the surface.  Arggggghhhhh!!!!
SO_Love says:
@::Standing next to the CTO, scanning everything in sight.  If nothing else, the archaeologist would love to have whatever they brought back... if they got back.::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::Looking forward at Patrick Randolph...eyes widen with shock and excitement::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Walks behind the Captain::
 Patron says:
@::Walks into the chambers::  AT:  Are you ready to see the Storlamora?
SO_Love says:
@ ::Looks at Commander Taylor.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Patron: Yes.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::puts her head in her hands::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CEO: Discontinue scans, and begin analysis of the r-rift in r-relation to the war-rp engines.  We need to see if our-r ship is what opened the r-rift. :: nods to J'Loni ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Patron: Tell me what does Storlamora mean?
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Patron: Please.
 Patron says:
@CTO:  It is Camaran for The Savior...
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Patron: Ah.
SO_Love says:
@ ::Absently wonders if the captain was going to need lots of counseling.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::barely hearing Lt. Chaser she moves automatically to do the engine analysis as requested::
 Patron says:
@AT:  This way.  ::walks into the much larger chamber room::  ALL:  Wait here.
SO_Love says:
@::Glances down at her tricorder, making sure the data link with the ship was secure.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Patron: Right.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Patron: Thank you Patron.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::senses Squiggy’s apparent arrival on the bridge as he has gotten out again and is on the TL just arriving for shift change::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Looks around at the large room then gently bumps into the SO:: SO: Sorry. ::Steps back::
 Randolph says:
@::walks into the chamber with a Camaran robe on::  ACO:  Alex!  ::runs over to him quickly::
SO_Love says:
@::Not realizing she is holding her breath, she scans the man who looks like her captain.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: Captain We thought you were dead until Patron told us the whole story about how you came here 2000 years ago.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: Captain... ::looks at the Captain with wide eyes::  Randolph: How? Why? What happened, sir?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: waits for word of what is happening on the planet, reviewing security and transporter locks on the AT ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@*OPS*: Lieutenant, we have found the Captain he is alive and appears to be well.
 Randolph says:
@CTO:  In a moment.  I want to say welcome to all my friends. It has been 2000 years!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS:  I have no correlation of our engines causing the rift in space.  From the scans I just did, it was not our engines that caused the rift to appear in front of the ship.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks around at the CEO with a nod, pulls up a transporter and bioskeletal lock on Randolph's biosigns ::
SO_Love says:
@::Running the data through the ships, she looks up and steps over to Taylor.::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: No you think it has been 2000 years when it has barely been two weeks.
 Randolph says:
@ALL:  It is so good to see you.  Where to begin....I was dead when the Camarains found me but they were able to revive me.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph:  Sir it is good to see you...I'm still rather shocked to see you.  Patron told us what happened...but its almost to much to take sir.   ::looks over to the SO..and whispers::  SO: Yes?
 Randolph says:
@CTO:  It can't be.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: I know what you are trying to do Lt. however, it is not going to work.  His biosigns have been altered.  You will not get a true lock on him.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: There was a rift that took us back in time...and your funeral pod must have drifted into it.
SO_Love says:
@::Nods her heard in the affirmative that it was captain Randolph.::
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Looks at Randolph then places his hand on his belt.  Taking a deep breath in::
 Randolph says:
@CTO/CIV/SO: How have you been?
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::Looks over to the SO and nods::  Randolph: We've been quite well...but it hasn't been the same without you on the ship.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: Adequate so far.
SO_Love says:
@Randolph:  Confused sir... ummm... sir... this is the planet that was destroyed by some catastrophic event.  We were pulled back into time.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns and looks thoughtfully at the CEO:: CEO: If chr-ronitons are involved, and those dampen dr-rive plasma, could that cor-r-relation have caused a quantum shift and an hole in space?
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@Randolph: It has been rough, sir.
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  Mr. Blade tells me that it has only been 2 weeks since you last saw me?  How is that so?
 Randolph says:
@CIV/CTO/SO: Well, I am alive and well.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: Because of the rift.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@Randolph: I can see, sir.
 Randolph says:
@CTO:  What rift?
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: I'm not quite sure sir.  I believe that the rift has something to do with it. It might be possible that the rift you went through was one much earlier than the one we went through...which might explain the time lapse...depending on how fast time is in this rift.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: The rift just opened in front of us unexpectedly.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph :A strange rift-like anomaly drew us inward we then traveled back in time and we think that your funeral pod may have floated into it.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CEO: Has to have been caused by something though. :: turns to look at the planet on the view screen ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: Since then I have not found any concrete evidence to go on, only a lot of theories.
 Randolph says:
@ACO: How is J'Loni?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: steeples her fingers, thinking ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::still scanning and running diagnostics to find the missing link::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: She took it very hard...as we all did.  The last time we saw her she seemed a bit better than before...but its still been extremely hard.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self:  Stop J'Loni.  Calm down and look closely at what you are doing, concentrate, focus.
SO_Love says:
@Randolph:  Not to mean to interrupt, but I am not sure how long you are supposed to be out of stasis.  Are you planning on coming back with us?
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  Well, I want to see her.
 Randolph says:
@SO:  I am only out for two days of the year and then I return to stasis...the stasis chamber slows down my normal aging process significantly.  Hence the nice little streak of gray running through my hair now.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::the TL stops on the bridge and Squiggy bursts out of the lift screeching loudly and flies to his master clearly excited::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: Rightfully you should, sir...but the matter at hand is...how to get you off the planet, and not harm the race here, if you want to leave.
 Randolph says:
@ACO/SO:  I am not sure that would be wise...
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Turns:: ACO: Captain, the problem is that if he leaves would that hurt his health?
SO_Love says:
@Randolph:  That would explain the aging...  ::Pauses at his last words.::  You intend to stay here?
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: I'm not sure it would impair his health...but it would greatly effect the people of this world.
 Randolph says:
@CIV:  No, it won't kill me and I will resume a normal cycle of aging.  SO:  I don't believe I can.  If I leave, these people will collapse.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Squiggy:  Why are you on the bridge?  I thought I told you to stay put.
SO_Love says:
@Randolph:  Why would they collapse?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shakes her head at the bird ::
 Randolph says:
@SO:  They have built their life and their faiths around me.  Someone they think is a savior.  I have explained it to them many times that I am just a man but they will have it no other way.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@ACO: I recommend then we covertly extract him and limit his visit to the ship to a few hours.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: Why would they think you are a savior?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: My apologies, Lt. Chaser.  He is obviously upset at something.  I will transport him back to our quarters.  ::shakes her head and reluctantly transports him back to their quarters::
SO_Love says:
@::Frowns::  Randolph:  But that is not healthy... and... well, if it is genetic material, we could set something up here to help them for a long time.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*ACO*: R-repor-rt, please?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: Nods to the CEO, trying to remain calm ::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: I'm not sure even an hour would be possible.
 Randolph says:
@CTO:  It is my DNA that help create this new race.  CIV:  I will not be taken away from them.  It would destroy them.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@*OPS*: We are ok...we are talking with the Captain now...I will report more as soon as possible.  But he is alive, please relay that to Mrs. Randolph.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::begins to read the past logs of the engineering analysis hoping to find something to go on::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns to J'Loni and nods with a concerned smile ::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: Sir, would it be possible to set up a hologram image of yourself to reside in status and act exactly as you do when you sleep and wake?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CEO: Would you like to beam down?
SO_Love says:
@::Looks at Taylor wondering if that were possible, given the technology they had.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::looks up in puzzlement:: OPS: Beam down????? To the planet????  Do you think that is truly Patrick????
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  What?  Alex...it would only be a matter of time before the hologram went off-line and the same would result.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CEO: Aye, J'Loni, the ACO thinks so.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::Looks over to the SO's expression:: SO: It might be possible...anything is possible.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@Randolph: Captain what would you suggest, sir?
 Randolph says:
@CIV:  Leave me here and get back to your own time.  Alex here looks to be a fine captain.
SO_Love says:
@ACO:  I still think just creating a bank would be healthier... all around really.  It would increase the gene pool and might also take care of their affliction... whatever it was.  It also doesn't explain what happened here 312 years ago to destroy this world.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: Sir, the hologram could be programmed into the status pod and modified to exhibit a longer life span...much like an emergence medical hologram.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS:  Well, yes, I guess that would be appropriate.  I will get into something comfortable and take Squiggy with me.  He might like to see his master again.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: Thank you, sir.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CEO: Suggest you leave the bir-rd, it might frighten the natives.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
OPS: As you wish.
SO_Love says:
@::As she listens her eyes widen at what he is asking them to put together.::
 Randolph says:
@SO:  They can reproduce sexually now.  The original race, the Camarians lost that ability.  My DNA combined with theirs gave it back.  After 200 years the Camarans, the new species hybrid figured that out.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@SO: That might aid for a while...but once the bank is out its out and they will die out...and if the Captain is a model of hope they may still die out.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stand and salutes the CEO:: CEO: Batlh jup.
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  Its not good enough.  I have a chance to save their civilization here.
SO_Love says:
Randolph:  I am confused then... if the can sexually reproduce now, why are you still needed?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: paces back and forth on the command deck, very uneasy, not liking how this feels ::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph:  Yes sir...you have a chance to save civilization...but you also have a wife and a future that hasn't been lived yet...do you not wonder what could of been and what could be?
 Randolph says:
@SO:  I am more of a symbol now...someone they look to and pray to for guidance...
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::hurries to their quarters and changes and then heads for the transporter room::
SO_Love says:
@Randolph:  But... that is not healthy... I mean... not in the long run.  Did you ever think this is what has kept them back?  I mean... from what we have seen and discovered, these people have not only gone forward, but regressed.
Transporter Chief  says:
CEO: Where to ma'am?
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  But this is what I have to do...if they civilization lasts then I will be there when you return.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Transporter Chief:  To the coordinates of the AT their present location.
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@Randolph: We can't risk it...were not even sure will be able to get back...but were going to try and you have to come with us.
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@Randolph: It will not last, sir, we've seen the future all that is left of this planet is debris.
Transporter Chief says:
CEO: Ready Ma'am.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Transporter Officer: Then transport me .
SO_Love says:
@::Wonders if his wife would have better luck.::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::walks over to the CIV and SO...whispers::  CIV/SO: We need to get the CEO to work on a hologram program of the Captain...and I hate to say this but...if he won't go willingly we will take him by force.
SO_Love says:
@ACO:  I know you want him back... but I still wonder what caused this planet’s destruction.  Was it his staying, or his being taken?
 
ACTION:  THE CEO IS BEAMED DOWN TO THE PLANET.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: notes the CEO's bio-signal and locks it down with the others ::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::whispers to the CTO:: CTO: Make contact with the CEO...and begin work on a hologram program of the Captain.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls up perimeter and sector scans for lies ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
@::appears on the surface with her back turned to the AT::  Self:  Now this is just great.  Where are they??
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@::Whispers:: ACO: Yes, sir.  We might have a riot on our hand though...
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::looks over to the CIV::  CIV: That’s why we have phasers...we have to return him to the ship...we have to.  ::whispers::
SO_Love says:
@::Hearing the transporter, glances over to see the CEO::  ACO:  Looks like your goal has come here.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
@::turns around and sees the AT and Patrick::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: breaths a sigh of relief as nothing shows up ::
 Randolph says:
@::talks to Patron::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
@ALL:  Patrick!!  My god , you are alive!
 Randolph says:
@CEO: J'Loni!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
@::takes two steps and faints::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: paces some more ::
CTO_Lt_Blade says:
@::raises an eyebrow::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@SO: Yes..and fainted...  ::runs over to help the CEO::
 Randolph says:
@ACO:  What a happy time this is...I see my wife for the first time in 2000 years and when she sees me for the first time in two weeks, she faints.
CIV_Maj_McClure says:
@ACO: I'll get a marine company on stand by, captain.
SO_Love says:
@::Pulling out the standard kit, reaches for the smelling salts and hands them to the ACO.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns around thinking she is all alone and turns a back flip just cause ::
 ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@CIV: Good...I'll contact OPS and see if she could work on the hologram program...while the CEO is out.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::beings to stir slowly and opens one eye and then the other::
ACO_LtCmdr_Taylor says:
@::moves the salts under the CEO's nose...hoping they work::
