OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: slaves flight over to OPS console, while still checking systems and power usage ::
SO_Love says:
::Down in the science lab.::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
OPS:  Good to have you back Lt. Chaser.  Set course for the Klingon outpost and engage at Warp 7.
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: In office finishing up on some last minute details of the many Evaluations he has done over the last 3 days ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: Nods over her shoulder at the CO :: CO: Aye, Sir-r, good to be home, roger-r engage ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: programs course and hits the engage button ::

ACTION: Claymore jumps into warp effortlessly.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: arranges VIP quarters for the passenger at the far end of deck two ::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
:: picks up a PADD with a report to the XO on some of the more prominent matter of the evaluation of one crewman in particular named Randar, he had requested to be removed from active duty for a period of one month do to a death of a loved one effecting his work and mental judgment. ::
Donavean says:
CSO:  Hey young'un, don't you think you should be up on the bridge?
SO_Love says:
::Looks up from the scope slightly confused::  Donavean:  Huh?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::in his office going over tactical routines::
CNS_Ens_Dizion says:
::Heads to the turbo lift :: Computer: Bridge, please.
Donavean says:
 ::Points upward::  CSO:  Bridge... you... your still in charge of science last I heard.
SO_Love says:
::Looks frustrated at her work, wanting to finish it.  Sighs::  Donavean:  Anyone ever tell you your a pain?
Donavean says:
 ::Smiles::  CSO: Go on, I'll put things away for you.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: checks time to destination, nodding at the two hour time frame, thinking just a short trip, those can often be the most dangerous ::
SO_Love says:
::Nods as she stands and heads out the door, muttering under her breath about the slowness of Starfleet.::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::nods at the positive and negative results of the drills::
SO_Love says:
::Steps into the turbolift::  Computer, bridge.
SO_Love says:
::As the doors slide open, she steps out and heads for her station, not really seeing anyone, her mind elsewhere.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::in engineering finishing up her report for the captain::
SO_Love says:
::Logs into her station and pulls up the sensor readings.::

ACTION:  In her distracted state, the SO doesn't see the seat that is out of position and she stubs her toe on it.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: checks LRS for anything in the area ::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Enters the Bridge With his PADD in hand and sit in the "CNS" chair ::
SO_Love says:
Ouch...  Who the... ::Bites her tongue.::  Never mind.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: minds course and speed, monitoring flight status ::
SO_Love says:
::Looks through the sensor logs frowning as something seems to be missing.::

ACTION: Sensors detect an ion storm brewing just ahead.

SO_Love says:
::At a flashing light she looks over and reads the sensors, then glances around to see who is in charge.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
ALL: Ion stor-rm br-rewing ahead.
SO_Love says:
OPS: It is reading as a magnitude 2.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: Ion stor-rm magnitude level two in our-r path, lieutenant.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Understood, class 2 ion storm.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Looks over to Lt Chaser:: OPS: Lt, do have any info on the species of our up coming guest yet ?
SO_Love says:
::After a moment realizes what was wrong.  No one had been at science when she had arrived.  She didn't remember forgetting to post the schedule... if that made any logic.  With a sigh, she focuses on the storm.::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::walks onto the bridge::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: shakes her head :: CNS: No, Ensign.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CTO: Lt Blade, monitor-r this Ion stor-rm ahead it is the per-rfect place for-r enemy ships to hide, wouldn't you agr-ree?
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
OPS: Thanks anyway Lt . :: wonders if they will get that info the last min ::
SO_Love says:
OPS:  Ma'am, the storm does not cover a large area... about a light year.  We can avoid it if you drop to warp two and go around it.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: I concur.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: ponders a moment, then nods :: SO: Aye, dr-roping to war-rp two.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: Ma'am may I suggest something?
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: powers back the Claymore watching the perimeter of the storm ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CTO: Cer-rtainly.
SO_Love says:
::Turns to the counselor::  CNS:  Sir, that information is classified.  I have tried to get a head’s up, but have been informed that we won't know until they come aboard.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: If we use a modified tetryon pulse it would deflect off the hull of a ship like a bat's sonar.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CTO: For-r what r-reason?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: Enemy Ships.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks a moment :: CTO: Make it so.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::exits his quarters and heads to the bridge::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: But Ma'am...
CTO_LT_Blade says:
OPS: We will have to change course and speed after every attempt to keep from being spotted.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::begins making the modifications::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
SO : Aye, thanks.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CTO: Negative, just let me know if you spot anything.
SO_Love says:
CNS:  Your welcome.  Sorry it wasn't much help.
SO_Love says:
::Keeps a close eye on the sensors and ion storm.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Enters the TL...typing on his last few reports...notices a few last minute ones flying in and attacks them...types the last lines...noting that all Romulans are off the ship and the ship is at 100%...exits the TL on to the bridge::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
SO : That’s quite alright, we will just have to hope and pray they don’t require special quarters.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
*CEO*: We have power-red down to war-rp two going ar-round the stor-rm.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Understood.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::stands as the XO enters the Bridge ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Lt. Report.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: Nods to the XO while still flying :: XO: We ar-re on our way to the r-rendezvous point, avoiding an ion stor-rm,
SO_Love says:
CNS:  Ya know...  I don't think they do.  I mean.. if you think about it, it takes time for us to set up special quarters.  We would need to have that information in advance.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::finishes:: OPS: Modification complete initializing first pulse.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
XO:  The CTO is monitor-ring for hostiles, and engineer-ring is awar-re of the categor-ry two stor-rm
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
SO : True.
SO_Love says:
::Nods a greeting to Commander Taylor.::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Excellent...keep up the good flying...  ::walks over to the SO::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::watching his screen intently::
SO_Love says:
::Turns her attention to the XO and smiles questioningly at him.::

ACTION:  The pulse does not activate.

XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Ens. What do you have on the Species?
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: hands the  XO a authorization PADD::  XO:  I’m requesting Crewman Randar  be relieved of duty for a period of one month  for medical reasons.
SO_Love says:
XO:  You just missed out.  Doing too many reports again?  ::Smiles::  Unfortunately, that information is classified.  We won't know until the minute the beam aboard.  I find the whole thing rather... odd.  There is something more here then saving a race thought to be extinct.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CNS: What type of medical reasons...if I might so inquire?  ::looks down at the PADD...and over to the SO::

ACTION:  Claymore finally clears the ion storm.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches course and speed  as they clear the storm ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
XO: Back to war-rp seven?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Sounds it...keep up on scans...and anything interesting you get.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
XO: All I can freely say is a death in the intermediate family is affecting him mentally on a large scale.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, are you reading anything abnormal about the deflector array?
SO_Love says:
::Looks over at sensors while the counselor talks to Taylor.::  XO:  We are clear of the storm.
SO_Love says:
XO:  I find the idea interesting, it is the mystery they are wrapping it in that makes one wonder.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Yes...warp seven.  ::looks back over to the CNS::  CNS: Understood...  ::looks down at the PADD...and authorizes it::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::looks at the navigational deflector grid::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: taps in the commands for the jump to warp seven and hits the engage button ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I tend to agree...I think the whole thing is a little odd...but I guess we can only wait and see how odd it truly will be...::grins::
SO_Love says:
::Nods::
SO_Love says:
::Turns around, the giggling in the back of her head about not posting the assignments bothering her.  Pulls them up and scans them and sighs with relief.::  I did post them.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CTO*: All my scans and diagnostics come up negative.  Deflector is functioning normally.
SO_Love says:
::Quickly locates who was on duty and calls them up.::

ACTION: Claymore nears the Klingon border and is now only 1/2 hour from the outpost.

CTO_LT_Blade says:
*CEO*:I just tried to initiate the modified tetryon pulse and it shorted out.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches power usage as well as warp status carefully making minor course corrections where necessary ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
XO: Thir-rty minutes to r-rendezvous, sir-r.
SO_Love says:
::After a moment, she tries again and frowns when she still does not get a reply.::  CNS:  Sir, I have a missing crewman.  He was not on duty when I arrived and he is not responding to comm.  I believe that is up your alley.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::signs his final report and sends it to the Captain’s PADD...moves forward and sits down in his chair...and turns to the OPS::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Thank you Lt.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: blushes, and nods to the XO ::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Looks at the SO :: SO: Who might it be ?
SO_Love says:
XO:  Area clear.  Station on long range sensors.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
XO: LRS shows the Klingon outpost and no ships.
SO_Love says:
CNS:  Ensign Doghert.
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
XO:  Report Commander.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: puts the area ahead on screen ::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
SO : Have you checked quarters or medical? Able to locate him on internal sensors?
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CTO*: What exactly are you trying to do with the deflector dish?
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::looks over to the SO::  SO: Thank you Ens...   ::looks over to the CO::  CO: Sir...We have cleared the storm and are at warp 7...the Klingon outpost can be seen on LRS...and there are no ships on sensors...as for arrival we are about 1/2 an hour from the post.
SO_Love says:
CNS:  Yes.  He is not coming up, so I assume he has taken off his comm badge.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*CEO*: I was going to try and use a modified tetryon pulse to detect ships.

ACTION: The Claymore now nears the outpost and is being hailed.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: We ar-re being hailed.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: drops out of warp ::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
SO : Please Have security locate him I cant do nothing till then when found have them escort him to my office and i will talk with him
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
XO:  Thank you.  ::turns to OPS:  OPS:  Put it on the main viewer.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: puts the message on screen :: CO: On scr-reen.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CTO*: A tetryon pulse is no good with all the ions from the storm.  They cancel each other out.  It would have been better to use a neutrino sweep instead that is why it didn't work.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: takes the ship to one quarter impulse past the outer markers ::
SO_Love says:
::Nods and looks over at tactical.::  CTO:  I have a missing officer who is not replying to comms and does not have his combadge on.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*CEO*: I see, thank you, Lieutenant.
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
COM:  I am Captain Patrick Randolph of the USS Claymore.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*SO*: I'll have security teams search for him.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::sits back and watches the screen::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: contacts Station OPS for clearance and docking assignment ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir, sorry for the delay in my report of ship’s readiness.  I have it ready now if you like.
Klower says:
COM: CO: Claymore, this is Klingon outpost, Klartan.  The IKV Korron has not yet arrived.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
*Sec team Alpha-Delta*: Team I would like you to make security sweeps through three decks at a time, we are looking for Ens Doghert who appears to be missing.
SO_Love says:
*Donavean*:  If your not to busy, we have a missing ensign.  Can you see if you can locate Doghert?
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
COM: KLARTAN: Thank you.  We will be awaiting their arrival.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: drops to thrusters as the ship enters the inner perimeter , and puts the ship in low orbit  ::
Donavean says:
      *CSO*: Can't say I remember seeing him recently.  I will check the labs for you.
SO_Love says:
*Donavean*:  Thanks.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
<Sec teams>*CTO*: Aye, Sir.
  OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: We or-rbit ar-round the station, Captain.

ACTION: The station cuts off the transmission and at that very moment, a K'Vort class cruiser decloaks and opens fire on the Claymore.

CTO_LT_Blade says:
::raises shields::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: screams ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CTO:  Red Alert.  OPS:  Evasive Maneuvers!
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::arms phasers and photon torpedoes::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::senses danger:: Condition red alert 5 NOW!!!!!!!!!!
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::watches as the cruiser uncloaks...opening fire on the ship::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::initiates Red Alert::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: takes evasive maneuvers, attack pattern Delta 5::
SO_Love says:
::Quickly pulls up as much data as she can.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::hears the klaxon go off and watches her staff do their jobs as readiness reports come in::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
OPS:  Hail Them!!!!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: opens a hailing frequency :: CO: OPEN!
SO_Love says:
CO:  Captain the ship is the Korron.  They fired at half power.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls the ship over trying to flank the Klingon ship ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
COM: Korron: This is Captain Randolph of the Claymore.  Why have you fired on my ship.  Please respond.
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CTO:  Target their Weapons and prepare to fire.
SO_Love says:
XO:  No damage reports coming in, only questions.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::complies:: CO: Aye.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: gives the best attack angle possible to the CTO ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::waiting for a response::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::walks over to the SO::  SO: That’s good...what questions are we having?
Killemall says:
COM: CO: Claymore, we fired on you because you took too long getting here!  ::practically spits at the screen::  I'm sick and tired of this passenger we have!
SO_Love says:
XO:  The usual... 'What is going on up there' kind.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: looks with astonishment at the CO ::
Killemall says:
COM: CO: All I have heard for the last three days is "messiah" this and "prophet" that!  I want this vermin off my ship!
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
COM:  Korron: Next time...file a protest with Starfleet Command!
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Ah...those kinds...never really liked those questions...when I sat in the CSO seat... ::grins::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: thinks boy are we in for a fun ride with this one ::
SO_Love says:
::Whispers::  XO:  Annoyed Klingons appear to be worse then angry ones.  ::Nods to the screen::  I guess we are about to find out who our guest is.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sounds like a Bajoran ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::whispers::  SO: Seems so.  ::watches the screen::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir, all stations are manned and all damage control teams at their assigned stations.  Shields, weapons, engines are at 110%.
SO_Love says:
XO:  I think you should take your seat back and let this lowly ensign return to her labs.  ::Smiles sweetly::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: would just love to curse well at the Klingon CO ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::looks over at Commander Taylor::  COM: Korron:  We are sending you beaming coordinates now.  ::nods to the OPS officer::  We are awaiting their transport.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
*OPS*: Ma'am, you have 110% power to all systems if you need more just let me know and I will get if for you.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Sure why not...  ::smiles and walks back to the CO::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: powers back engines to 100% while at red alert ::
SO_Love says:
::Watching him walk away::  Humph...
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sends coordinates ::
Killemall says:
COM: CO: Weapons are more persuasive than protests!  Be sure you are present in your transporter room, Captain or this...thing...will not beam over!  Korron out!
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
CO: Shouldn’t we get some information on this individual before we bring him aboard?
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::watches the power distribution boards and hears the core back down to 100%::
SO_Love says:
::Sits up::  Thing?  ::Looks over at the captain.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks thing? ut oh ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
XO:  Gotta love those Klingons...CNS: I have asked Starfleet for information but got nothing.  XO:  You have the bridge.  CNS:  You are with me.  ::walks over to the TL and enters::

ACTION: The Klingon ship cuts communications.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: keeps an attack angle on the Klingon ship wishing they could attack ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CO: Indeed you do...and understood.  ::sits back down in his chair::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Follows Randolph::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CTO:  Stand down from Red alert.  ::before the doors close::
SO_Love says:
XO:  I guess we get to wait, but I wonder what the Klingon meant by messiah and prophet.  I do not like religous wars.  They are nasty.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::senses the Klingons emotions and closes her eyes to their thoughts and her mind as well::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
XO: R-return to or-rbit?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::complies::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Well On the turbo lift ::CO  By the way,  sir, my apologies for the trip up on the last mission perhaps next time I'll be a bit more forward with my information.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::watches as the red alert is cancelled and informs her staff::  ALL: Stand down Condition Red Alert 5.  Return to caution stations.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: I can't wait myself...I'm very interested to see what we will be dealing with...and I to have never really liked religious wars.  ::looks over to the OPS::  OPS: Yes return to orbit...and keep watch on the ship.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: backs off the Klingons ship still wary ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
CNS:  We all missed things that we should have caught.  I just wished you had spoken up sooner.  I do not wish to go into it now.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: turns the Claymore into a low orbit, not happy about the actions of the Klingons ::
SO_Love says:
XO:  Should I scan the transporter room?
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
CO : Understood.
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::the TL slows and he exits walking down the corridor to the TR and enters::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::keeping a wary eye on the Korron::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
::Follows the CO Still ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Yes...I want any scans you can...Just incase we get any surprises...again.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: readies transport waiting the order ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Chief S'Levik: Contact the Korron and tell them we are ready to receive the delegate.
S’Levik says:
CO:  Understood.  ::follows his orders::
SO_Love says:
::Nods and smiles that she has the permission.  Pulls up internal sensors for the transporter room and closely watches.::

ACTION: No sooner does the CO give the order than the delegate is beamed over.

ACTION: The Delegate is tall and slender with a dark skin tone.  The being is all too familiar to the Captain.

SO_Love says:
::Quietly::  XO:  Delegate has beamed aboard and...
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::Randolph stands there as the delegate appears.  He holds his breath a bit when he arrives::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Looks to the SO:: CO: Understood...anything on scans?

ACTION: Upon seeing the CO, the delegate drops to his knees and bows his head.

CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Glances at the CO noticing the look about him ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Delegate:  I...uh...I am Patrick Randolph...
SO_Love says:
::Sits back::  XO:  It is a Camarian...  ::Looks up confused.::
Rusa says:
CO: My Messiah, I am deeply honored to be in your presence.  I must speak to you and your crew immediately.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: monitors their orbit closely ::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::scanning for hostile ships::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO: Camarian...  ::looks at her confused::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks this could be interesting ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::senses her husband and crumbles to the floor in shock::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::walks over to the delegate::  Rusa:  Please stand up.  What is your name?
SO_Love says:
XO:  Why the secrecy?  I thought we were picking up a rare species thought to be dead.   They are not dead.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
XO: They wer-re supposed to be dead, Sir-r.
Rusa says:
CO: I am your humble servant, Rusa.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: At a loss for the Greeting the CO just received unsure what’s going on ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
SO/OPS: I'm not very sure...but I am very confused...very, very confused...  ::looks down at the floor rubbing his temple::
SO_Love says:
OPS:  True, but that was before we, errr... altered things.  As far as the rest of the galaxy knows, they never were extinct.

ACTION: The Korron cloaks and moves away from the area.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: remembers with trepidation the inquisition of the Temporal Investigators ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  Rusa,...that is a good name.  This is the ship's counselor, Ensign Dizion.  ::taps his combadge::  *XO*  Randolph to Taylor.  Assemble the senior crew in the Observation Lounge.  Our guest is a Camarian...Rusa.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: nods to the SO, her eyes wide :: SO: Agr-reed.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::grabs head:: Self: NOOOooo please dear god no.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
Rusa: Rusa, it’s a pleasure to meet you.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
XO: Sir, the Korron is gone.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
*CO*: Understood sir.  ::taps his comm badge::  *ALL*/ALL:  All senior staff needs to head to the Observation Lounge.
Rusa says:
::gets to his feet and nods politely at the CNS::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
CTO: Thank you, Lt.
SO_Love says:
::Slightly worried as she again considers the Klingons words::  XO/OPS:  They thought the captain a god...  you don't think this has to do with him?
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  Come with me. ::starts to walk out with Rusa and the CNS to the bridge::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
XO: Aye.
SO_Love says:
::Stands and calls in a replacement to cover her.::
Rusa says:
::dutifully follows the CO::
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::goes to the observation lounge and takes a seat at the near end of the table::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::is helped up by Ens. Spanner:: CEO: Ma'am, you are needed in the observation lounge.  I can accompany you if you wish.
SO_Love says:
CTO: I don't suppose you have found my missing science officer?
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  I thought your people were dead.  How is it that you came upon the Klingons?
CTO_LT_Blade says:
SO: Not yet.
SO_Love says:
::Follows the XO.::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Follows the CO some more ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: nods to the young flight control officer as he takes the helm, and grins at Sonoy as she takes OPS, and heads out for the briefing ::
Rusa says:
CO: I will explain all, my Eminence.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Ens. Spanner:  No son I can get there on my own.  You have engineering.  ::walks out of ME and into the TL:: Computer: Observation lounge, express.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::leaves Lt. Ericson in charge::  Lt. Ericson:  Take command...we will return shortly.
Lt Ericson says:
       XO: Understood.  ::nods and takes the center chair::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::stops::  Rusa:  My name is Captain Patrick Randolph.  I am not your messiah.  ::continues to walk::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::as the lift heads for its destination she closes her eyes and tries to clear her mind and thoughts::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::the lift stops and she heads for the Observation lounge::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::enters the TL and orders the TL to the bridge::
Rusa says:
CO: Of course, your glory.
SO_Love says:
::Steps in behind the XO.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::arrives on the bridge and heads for the observation lounge quickly and enters::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stands near the door, wary ::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::walks over to the big window and stares out it::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Pays attention closely how the CO responds and acts to this high praise from Rusa ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::the TL arrives and he exits the TL and walks over to the OL and enters.  He sits at the head of the desk and motions for Rusa to take a seat::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::walks to the observation lounge...and enters::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Sits as well ::
SO_Love says:
::As the doors close behind them, she takes a seat, pulling out a PADD.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::turns around and sits with a blank face::
Rusa says:
::bows deeply to the CO, then performs some sort of  ritual with his hands before he sits down::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::sits and watches the front of the room::
Rusa says:
CO: Thank you for blessing this chair, your glory.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: notices the discomfort in the CEO though she does grand on hiding it ::
SO_Love says:
::Recording what was going on, she watched curiously, but confused.::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::rubs his forehead with his hand::  ALL: This is Rusa.  He has some information to pass along to us.  Rusa: Go ahead, and it’s Patrick Randolph.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::closes her eyes once again and tries harder to keep her composure and can feel the CNS's concern for her::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::watches the CO and Rusa...listening intently to what he is about to say::
Rusa says:
ALL: ::speaking in soft, even tones...almost as if talking to school children::  You may have been told that my people had destroyed them selves.
SO_Love says:
::Sits back and listens, noting the captain looks a bit exasperated.::
Rusa says:
ALL: It almost came to that.  There was the fiercest religious war our planet has ever seen following the prophet's disappearance.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::feeling her husband’s discomfort, she only wishes that she could be next to him to help him::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Gives his attention to Rusa but can’t help but pay mind to the CEO from time to time ::
Rusa says:
::bows deeply again to the CO::
SO_Love says:
::Looks at the first officer even more confused.::
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::listens intently to what Rusa is saying::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::listens as Rusa speaks...taking in all his words::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::continues to listen to Rusa::
Rusa says:
ALL:  Just in time our scientists discovered a rift in space.  We know not where it came from, but we built a large vessel and sent as many of our people through it as we could.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: doesn't like the way this is going watches the room intently, thinking that Camarian sure smells bad , she tries to bury her antennae in her mane ::
Rusa says:
ALL: We did not know where we would end up, but we did know that with our Eminence's guidance, our people would survive.  ::bows to the CO again::
SO_Love says:
::Taps a message onto her PADD and sends it to the first officer.::  XO: The reports I discovered during your inquisition was they were a peaceful, thriving race.
CTO_LT_Blade says:
::looks at the Camarian a bit suspicious::
Rusa says:
ALL:  Our glorious prophet did not disappoint us and we found a planet in what you now know as the Klingon Empire.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: Remembers Reading the reports from the mission that involved this race and the rift that this crew had created to get back to our time ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::rubs his forehead again Self:  I am never going to live this down::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::face grows a little alarmed..and looks down to the PADD...types a message back...  SO: I thought they were...I guess without guidance, they were lost.
Rusa says:
ALL:  Our ancestors have lived on that planet ever since.  Now, we have discovered the rift again and we know where it leads.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::Self: I must maintain control, I am Vulcan, strength is logic, logic is strength..........
SO_Love says:
::Types:: XO: Someone is lying somewhere.  I don't like this.  And I would like to know who and why.
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  Where?
Rusa says:
ALL: It appears that the rift became unstable and enveloped much of our home planet.  Many ancestors traveled on foot through it.  They ended their miraculous journey in another universe.
SO_Love says:
::Types::  XO:  Or are we talking about two different groups here?  That would explain some things.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::types a message to the CNS: The nightmares I have been getting...something is not right here.....
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: folds her arms across her chest, raising her left eyebrow just like Xen ::
Rusa says:
::turns to the CO:: Messiah, we do not have the resources to go to the rift.  Only you can guide us there.
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Types in his PADD again::  SO: I agree...I want to know why I had to go through those investigations...if they still lived...There is something not being told to us...
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
::looks at Rusa::  Rusa:  What are you asking of me...my crew?
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
::knuckles go white as she grabs the hand rests of the chair::
Rusa says:
::looks at the CO with a sad, pleading look:: CO:  Messiah, we ask that you transport us to our ancestors so that we may become whole again.
SO_Love says:
::Thinks for a moment.::  XO:  I will see what I can pull up on them afterwards.  But if what he is saying, looks like our actions had much further reaching reactions then we ever though.
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: wonders a moment on how much more of the temporal directive was violated then reported,  these people shouldn’t even know of the  Claymore and her crew ::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks OH NO way, her eyes almost bug out of her head ::
XO_Cmdr_Taylor_III says:
::Types again to the SO::  SO: I know...I know...
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  I...I...Rusa.  Let me give this some thought.  ::pauses for a moment::  CNS:  Counselor...please take him to his quarters.  Rusa:  I will be along to talk with you.
CEO_LtJg_Randolph says:
Self: No, this is not happening again.  The rift again and the fact that I just may lose my husband again but this time for ever...........
Rusa says:
CO: There are 1000 followers on the station.  They must come with us!
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
CO : Yes, sir. :: stands up ::  Rusa : Rusa Please follow me
SO_Love says:
::Her eyes go wide as she looks over at OPS, thinking 1000 people to find quarters for.::
Rusa says:
::stands firm::  CO: I cannot go without knowing the Messiah will lead us!
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: thinks they ain't NO way we ar-re gonna do this ::
CO_Captain_Randolph says:
Rusa:  I understand.  Please go with Counselor Dizion.  ::smiles a bit and motions him on::
CNS_ENS_Dizion says:
:: knowing the CEO won’t try to read his mind but would sense someone telling her something mentally if directed towards her:: ~~~ CEO: we must talk ~~~
