Host SM_James says:
Summary: Aboard Claymore, the crew traces Stevens's troubles to a location on deck four. Meanwhile, Stevens's troubles are slightly delayed due to her current presence in Claymore's transporter buffer. Can they close the door, or will the Kethran find a window? Elsewhere, Rain and her team start off in the general direction of the demilitarized zone in search of hopefully unclassified answers. This can only end spectacularly.

Star Trek: A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Claymore in: "Reflection"

OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::on the bridge at operations, no longer sure about what time it was or how long he'd been there.  He checked on the transporter cycle::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: Simmons's tricorder beeps alarmingly only a second before it sparks, sending her to the deck. The tricorder slips from her hands, now powerless.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: The report finished, she looks it over before sending it to her captain.::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Sitting on the bridge, gets a ping on his PADD and opens the message::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: On the bridge, keeping track of the various teams.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Standing on the bridge, nearby Damrok, monitoring the situation from the XO's seat while Davis is otherwise occupied on the Flight deck::
Host Andrews says:
::moves immediately to check Simmons, discarding her tricorder almost instantly and instead quickly placing fingers to her neck::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::checks something:: *CSO* Beginning retransport cycle. *OPS3*: Standby with the maintenance cycle.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong>  :: On the shuttle, waiting::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
*TC*: Incoming beam in for transporter storage. Lock on may be problematic. ::beams Stevens into transporter room one, and begins immediately trying to get a lock on her::
FCO_SubLt_T’alin says:
:: walking around to the various teams security and marines taking positions around the shuttle bracing and awaiting potential incursion :: 
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> *CPO Talya Singh*:  We have a problem.  The CSO is down.  Something about the tricorder.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: Orders a medical team down to the shuttle::  CO:  Captain, Lieutenant Simmons is down.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::winces and energizes:: *CSO* I don't know how many more times we can do this.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Stands, turning to face tactical::  Singh:  Have you dispatched a medical team?

CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> CO: Aye, Sir.  They should be on their way.
Host Andrews says:
::just gives a small nod, getting up from next to Simmons:: All: Pulse is steady. Likely reacting to the tricorder failing. ::moves to step over her and access the console at which she was working::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Tosses his PADD onto his chair and holds his forehead in his hand for a few moments::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: Looks up as Roberts & Begay enter their quarters.::  Well... you two ready to start your new jobs so we can get started sooner?  Mostly it is helping to secure the supplies we have picked up here.  Unless you want cooking detail?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks to Damrok, noting his gesture with the PADD, and concerned and curious...but also trying to wrap her brain around the current situation:: CO: Captain...permission to investigate the source of the signature on Deck 4.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ < Tac  LtJG. Atsa Begay> :: looks at Adamia::  CTO:  Actually ma'am, I am curious about your cooking skills.
Host Andrews says:
::considers, for about a half second, then... decides desperate times and all that, taps at the console to access Claymore's computer system, and direct dumps what Simmons was working on::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::pokes at the communication system to make sure it was working::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: Looks at the two::  Begay/Roberts:  Hmm... I am not sure if I should make the worst dish I know how or a the best.  Then again, the two might be the same. :: heads out of the room with a grin, not paying attention to their expressions.::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: OPS registers a security override on the internal comm system. A second later, tactical alarms with an internal sensor alert. Sensors have locked on to the previously reported temporal frequency.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
CIV:  I'll go with you.  I don't want to pull security from any of their designated positions should we have to deal with a Kethran incursion.  ::Moves a few steps toward operations::  OPS:  Fong, you have the bridge.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: steps aside as the medical team arrives to collect Simmons.::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Looks to Raeyld, gives his head a sharp tilt toward the turbolift, then starts that way::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> CO:  Sir, my task is to keep you safe.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::frowns:: CO/CIV: Apparently someone just gave me the temporal frequency you are tracking down.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::feeds the information to their tricorders then goes digging into where the information came from::
Host Andrews says:
::scans the shuttle, then the wider flight deck, eyes paused on T’alin as Simmons is rushed out of the way, but he starts for the shuttle's exit having pretty much done all he could from here::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: watches Andrews::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Pauses::  Singh:  Chief, for all we know, Kethran could pop up on the ship at any moment.  The best thing for everyone to do is to keep their posts.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stands and starts to follow Damrok, pausing to look back to Fong...then hears a beep from her tricorder...and smiles a little, before joining Damrok in the turbolift, pulling out her tricorder and locking onto the signal::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Turns back toward operations::  OPS:  Gave it to you, Mr. Fong?
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  CO:  Aye, sir.  But I will keep a lock on you meanwhile.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
Singh:  That will do.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> Andrews:  Where are you going, Sir?
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  :: nods as she turns to set the computer for a lock on the captain::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Data signatures are from Starfleet equipment, looks like CSO's tricorder. Surface inspection shows her tricorder was dumped into the shuttle's console and uploaded to the computer. I'll keep digging.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
OPS:  Good enough.  CIV:  Doctor, if you would.  ::Motions toward the turbolift with the universal "after you" gesture::
FCO_SubLt_T’alin says:
:: notes Andrews as he's talking with a marine.  Naturally not trusting the guy... but is busy interacting with the squad leader he's conversing with ::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: as she turns for what is a multipurpose room, including cooking, the other two head for the storage bay.::
Host Andrews says:
::pauses, glances briefly to Sarpong:: TAC: To finish closing the door, Petty Officer.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Steps into the turbolift and orders deck four as Damrok takes his place::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: with the two main people gone she was to assist, she moves to follow him::  Andrews:  Understood.  Is there anything I can do to assist?
Host Andrews says:
Scene: Per previous orders, deck four is virtually a ghost town with only the necessities running. Two security officers stand outside the lift as it deposits Damrok and Raeyld on the deck.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Nods to each of the security officers, and takes the first few steps off the turbolift::  CIV:  Where is the signature?
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu> :: at attention, turns as the lift doors open, his hand lightly on his weapon.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::considers something as he feels the nexus of attention leave the bridge.:: *TC*: I want you to look into the effects of setting up chroniton baffles around the transporter room.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Begins scanning with her tricorder:: CO: Checking.

CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu> :: Returns the nod of acknowledgment, slightly surprised to see no security with the captain.::
Host Andrews says:
::produces the small device from his pocket as he walks, checks the readout, then shrugs at Sarpong:: TAC: Hope we succeed, Officer Sarpong. Hope we succeed.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO1 Imari Abara> :: As Raeyld passes, he looks over at Lu who just shrugs.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> Andrews: Success is far better than failure.  :: tries again with a glance at T’alin::  Is there anything I can do to help with that success?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Gestures down one corridor with her tricorder:: CO: Section 22 Alpha....Doctor Stevens' quarters.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Nods once, moving down the corridor in the indicated direction::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: glances at the screen with a small blimp moving on it.::  *Lu/Abara*:  Remain at your station unless needed by the captain or Commander Raeyld.  I do have a constant lock on the captain should an immediate transport be needed... such as the Kethran showing up.
Host Andrews says:
::approaches a turbolift and presses the call button, shaking his head:: TAC: We're limited if we can't remove the device. Stevens won't survive more than a few trips through the buffer, despite Simmons's care.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong>  ::uncertain of the device in question, she simply follows him into the lift.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Assumes the standard "We are Starfleet and mean business, but are also appropriately cautious as the situation calls for it"-stride down the corridor toward Stevens' quarters::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu> :: simply sighs.  Earlier it had been interesting as they searched out what caused the explosion and secured the deck.  Now?  He simply sighed again.::
Host Andrews says:
::steps into the lift as it arrives, requests deck four::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Stops in front of the quarters, feeling a sort of pressure against his mind...after a few moments to determine it is not the headache that has been lurking at the fringes of his consciousness for the past several hours, realizes that he's being telepathically probed and makes an effort to stonewall it::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
CIV:  I'm feeling a sort of...telepathic probe.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Flinches, pausing in her approach, not quite ready to move any closer at the moment:: CO: That...might be what I'm experiencing as well, but...it's not quite clear. Mostly... ::Rubs her forehead a bit:: ...a headache.
Host Andrews says:
::gets off the lift on deck four, Sarpong staying with him, and starts down the corridor after Damrok and Raeyld::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu>  :: as the lift doors open, he looks to see Nomalanga following someone vaguely familiar.  At a silent signal from her, he and Abara remain in place.::

CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: I don't know if I can block it so much as...it's just...almost "angry," that there's nothing to connect with.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
CIV:  Is it safe to open the door?
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: her long legs keep her in step with Andrew::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Taps at the tricorder a few more times:: CO: I'm not reading anything concerning on the other side...beyond this signature, and unidentifiable energy readings. ::Looks up to Damrok and shrugs slightly:: I'm not sure the door is doing much to shield us from them at the moment anyway.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: begins by opening the various cabinets to learn where items are as well as what supplies she has to work with.::
Host Andrews says:
::catches up to Damrok and Raeyld outside the door, and each earns a brief, assessing look, the former earning a quick salute:: CO/CIV: Captain. Commander. ...Mind if I lend a hand?
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Raises a breath to speak but halts when Andrews approaches, and though he considers inquiring about Andrews' presence, decides to table that for later::  Andrews:  ...By all means.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: takes a place beside the group before taking a moment to let Singh know where they are.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Squints a bit more, still wrestling a bit with the form of a headache...or more of a head storm...but she does her best to shake it off, and tries to identify the energy readings within while she awaits Damrok's clearance to enter Stevens' quarters::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: acknowledges and mentally sighs that at least one of her people are near the captain.::
Host Andrews says:
CO/CIV: The temporal displacement device is largely inactive right now. It needs a host to function properly, but at the moment the host it's looking for is decidedly unavailable. So long as that remains true, your ship is safe. We need to isolate and remove it before we release Stevens from the buffer, or it's going to hurt. A lot.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: Frowns as she takes her place, only to turn to look at the door.  Quietly::  Andrew:  What is in there?  :: turns to look at him.::  I need to... protect it.  :: takes out a weapon and steps back slightly::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Glances to Raeyld a moment::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: looks confused at the weapon and then at her captain, but she does not lower the weapon.::
Host Andrews says:
::glances sidelong at Sarpong, but keeps his attention largely on Damrok and Raeyld:: CO/CIV: Whatever you do, you'll want to do it... quickly.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
Andrews:  All right, tell us what we need to do.  ::Enters his emergency override into the wall panel::

CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: Feeling the pull, she finds herself closer to the door.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> CO:  Captain, stop.  You cannot go in there.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: the need to protect slowly eats away her common sense::  All:  Please step away from that door.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Tilts his head slightly::  Sarpong:  Petty Officer, you are in no position to give me an order.  I realize you're trying to do your job, but you need to move.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reaches her hand into her bag, looking to Damrok, and tapping her tricorder lightly against her temple in a gesture to him, mouthing the word "probe" silently::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> CO:  No, sir.  My job is to protect what is... ::frowns::  inside.  I need to... protect it.  :: takes the safety off her weapon as she speaks.::
Host Andrews says:
::curses, in surprisingly fluent Betazoid:: CO/CIV: It has her.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: anxiety and need fill her, her breathing increases as part of her fights the need to follow her training.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: raises her hand to fire at Andrews::  Andrew:  You... lied.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::With her tricordered hand, taps her combadge, pulling her other hand out of her bag, hypospray at ready, trying her best to keep her voice steady:: *Butler*: Immediate beamout, Sarpong to brig--NOW.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Fires at Andrew....::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Glances to the side a moment, reading Raeyld's movement, and reaches to shove Sarpong's aim off-course::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Half shuts her eyes as she takes the distraction of Sarpong firing on Andrews to thrust her hypospray at Sarpong's arm as Damrok shoves it::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<TC_SCPO_Butler> ::energizes beaming the security officer to the brig::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> :: looks around widely as a field goes up around her.::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: In very quick succession, the following things occur. Damrok knocks Sarpong's arm just enough off course that the shot wings barely past Andrews's left shoulder. The movement runs Sarpong's arm into Raeyld's hypospray, a microsecond before Sarpong dematerializes.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> :: hearing the transporter and shield, walks over to see and Nomalanga::   Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong:  What are you doing here?
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::With unusual urgency, repeats his previous request::  Andrews:  Tell us what we need to do.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Hits her combadge again:: *OPS*: We need deck four entirely cleared of absolutely everyone except Captain Damrok, Andrews, and myself.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Tac PO1 Nomalanga Sarpong> TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose:  I do not... ::sinks to the floor unconscious.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
*OPS*: As well as Section 22 Alpha of Decks 3 and 5. ::Just to be sure::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
*CIV*: Understood. Increasing SIF in that area.
Host Andrews says:
CO: You won't be able to lock onto it directly. Nothing personal — this thing was invented well after your time. But it's in physical form. So connect it to something you can lock onto, and get it off this ship. Preferably twenty minutes ago.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Hits her combadge again:: *Bellerose*: Ensign, you should be receiving Petty Officer Sarpong, who was under the influence of a telepathic probe and sedated. Please have medical review and ensure they're free of any influence before release from the brig.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::begins clearing the quarters above and below where the CO and Second Officer::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> :: does a remote check of her vitals:: *CPO Talya Singh*: Sarpong is here, unconscious in the brig.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  :: contacts Lu and Abara to find the captain.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> CO:  Captain, Sarpong has been transported to the brig.  Are you alright?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Squints again through the...storm:: Damrok/Andrews: So...what does energy like to connect to? Some kind of...conductive energy sink?
Host Andrews says:
::shakes his head slightly:: CO: At the moment, you, Commander Raeyld, and myself are the only ones confirmed to be immune or resistant to Kethran technology. ::points to the area of his head where the implant is contained:: It won't work on me. They tried. ...We tried harder.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
*Singh*:  We're all right.  Give me a minute and I'll give you a rundown.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> *CIV*:  Acknowledged, Ma'am.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<TAC Ens. Margo Bellerose> :: shakes her head as she contacts medical.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> *CO*:  Acknowledged.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::As they talk, she switches her hypospray for a phaser set to stun, just in case::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> *Lu/Abara*:  The captain is apparently fine.  Keep your distance until we know more.
Host Andrews says:
CIV: The device is matter. Just... slightly out of phase matter. Think Stevens, only smaller. Your technology can't lock onto it because your technology wants to tell you it's not there. ...So prove your technology wrong. Give it something that *is* there.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Nods once::  CIV:  Lead the way.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: Quietly humming to herself, gathers items for the crews evening meal.::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<Sec PO3 Jinhai Lu> :: seeing the captain, he pauses and waits until needed.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Starts to form a little bit of an idea, but nods, and presses the control to open the door to Stevens' quarters, leading the way in::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Follows Raeyld inside, immediately visually scanning the room for anything they might use::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues following her tricorder through the empty quarters...and to the threshold of Stevens' bedroom, then gestures with the tricorder toward a broach on the dresser::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: Almost on queue, the broach briefly winks from existence, then reappears.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  :: quietly monitors the ship with one eye on the captain as she listens to incoming reports.::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Finds herself leaning against the wall just inside the bedroom door, having significant difficulty staying on her feet without her knees buckling:: CO: ...that....  ::Winces and squints:: ...that's it...
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Just...decides to save her energy for the mental battle and offers the phaser to Damrok as she starts to slide down the wall, giving upon the physical battle for now::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Winces against the pressure he feels in his mind, but nods to Raeyld and accepts the phaser, going toward the device::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Has to shrug off the voice that's creeping into his mind, but takes his combadge off, tapping it once::  *TC*:  Damrok to Butler.  It is urgent that in fifteen seconds time you lock onto the object that contains my combadge and beam it into space as far from the ship as you can.  Do you copy?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Buries her head in her arms in her lap::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Gets confirmation from Butler, then quickly grabs a pillow, shaking it out of the pillow case; drops his combadge in the pillowcase, then uses the case to attempt to pick up the device and drop it inside alongside the 'badge without touching the device::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Drops the pillowcase and staggers back, losing his balance as though pushed back in the process as he grimaces and falls to one knee, barely planting his palm into the floor to stay upright::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
@ :: It had been awhile since she had cooked for more then a small group.  She hoped she could remember.  At lease she was not cooking for a starship.  That could be... well, not the best scenario::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: The pillowcase and all is beamed out of the room, materializing precisely 40000 KM starboard aft of Claymore. Sensors read a slow build-up of temporal energy in that region.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  *CO*:  I am picking up temporal energy outside of the ship... followed by the transporter beam.

Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Slumps a bit as the pressure immediately subsides, almost as if it had been holding him up as he fought against it...takes a deep breath and exhales::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Reaches to tap his combadge before he suddenly realizes he doesn't have it anymore::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
:Slams her head back against the wall once with a crack...just as the device dematerializes....and the raging storm dissipates from her head::
Host Andrews says:
::moves quickly to visually assess first Damrok, then Raeyld, then as if to double check, taps at the small device in his hand and scans both, before nodding once::
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Just looks up, as though the computer will hear him better::  *Singh*:  Understood.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
Andrews:  What now?
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> CO:  Sir... do you want me to fire into that area?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a few deep breaths, sort of feeling herself out, before using the wall as a guide while she climbs back to her feet, still slightly disoriented::
Host Andrews says:
::lifts up a shoulder:: CO: Hope the blast is directed inward rather than outward. ::adjusts the device again to scan the timeline, eyes narrowed slightly::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: The temporal energy continues to increase. Sensors now register significant fluctuations in that region.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh>  *CO*:  The energy in that area is increasing,  I am also picking up significant fluctuations.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Pauses a quarter-second as he considers the idiotic sentences he has to queue up in his brain and aim at another sentient being::  *Singh*:  Lock phasers on that pillowcase and fire, full power.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: Entering the coordinates, she then fires multiple blasts into the area::
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: Phasers make easy contact with their target, temporal energy spikes, then the explosion inverts, becoming an implosion. Scanners reveal the creation of a small temporal black hold. What remains of the device, and several surrounding particles, are being pulled in.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: watches the screen for any reaction, ready to alter coordinates to re-fire::
FCO_SubLt_T’alin says:
<HLM4_Ens_M'irl> :: monitors the hold with nav sensors preparing for necessary evasion if called ::
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> :: recording the action.::  *CO*:  Completed.
Host Andrews says:
ACTION: The event horizon expands, energy continuing to almost spin inside it, before the black hole and everything it contains begins to slowly, very slowly, collapse in upon itself.
CTO_LtJG_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<CPO Talya Singh> *CO*:  A black hole was created.  It appears to be collapsing in on itself.

Host Andrews says:
::continues to check readings on his device:: Timeline barrier strengthening. 20 percent... twenty-three percent... ::pauses, smiles just a little:: I believe we may have closed the door, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Damrok says:
::Sighs with some relief, but also some restraint::
Host Andrews says:
