Summary: The Scimitar crew is en route to the NuVola sector to investigate a distress call. On the way there, the XO received a personal message containing bad news about his brother, Kenji. Upon arrival, scanners pick up that the ship is a Federation Akira-class, but the ship cannot be identified at such distance.

As they drop out of warp, the ship starts to shake violently, several people being thrown around. The FCO is injured and the Captain's chair breaks...again. It appears that the anomaly is sucking the ship in. A few suggestions are given as the ship is sucked closer and closer into the anomaly.

When the ship fires an inverse graviton pulse, they are sucked completely into the anomaly and it is revealed the other ship is... the Scimitar (too)!They are hailed and the former XO of the Scimitar, now Captain of Scimitar 2, Captain Idrani comes on screen. While the two CO's speak, it is confirmed that the other ship is the Scimitar but it is a little off, like it has been shifted.

The XO spots his brother, Kenji, at the CTO station and a man he has only seen pictures of, his half-brother, Del-Mar. After a brief discussion, the CO agrees to meet the (S)CO Idrani on Scimitar 2 and takes the CTO with him. The CO and CTO are now about to beamed across to the Scimitar 2 with the rest of the crew beginning investigations into where exactly they are.

Captain's Log, Stardate 10907.06: We appear to have been sucked into an alternate universe where we have encountered the Scimitar. Or at least it appears to be the Scimitar, but a lot has changed... I'm going to meet with her commanding officer to try and make sense of the whole bizarre situation.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission – In Search Of Lost Time – Part 2 >>>>>>>>>>

ACTION: The CTO and CO are beamed to the second Scimitar.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::in sickbay healing crew members::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::Loading up star charts about this sector ::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::on the Bridge, in the not-so-Big chair(not TM)::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::looks around and recognizes the ready room::

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::looks up:: CO: Ethan. ::stands and offers his hand::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::sees a badly burned crewman stumble in and rushes over to administer treatment::

ACTION: Sickbay is quickly filled with many injured.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::begins to tap her fingers on a console while waiting for the star charts to load::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Crewman: Don't worry, you're in good hands here. You're going to be fine. ::gives the crewman some painkillers before working on the burns::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@::walks into the ready room:: [B] CO: I want to go to their ship.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Lieutenant? How are those results of the star charts coming?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::shakes Idrani's hand:: [B] CO: Thalev... ::turns to the man who walked in:: [B] Kenji: And you are?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: I should have stopped the captain and gone myself... I want to see Kenji... even if it is not actually him

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@[B] Kenji: You know I don't have a problem. ::gestures to the CO:: Ask him.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: The results are slow, but not seeing any difference from our logs compared to these charts Sir.

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@CO: Kenji Ro'kar. Can I please go to your ship?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] Kenji: Ro'kar... under the circumstances I don't think that's wise.

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@CO: Listen chump, if it wasn't for you getting in the way we wouldn't even be here so I think the least you could do is let me go see my brother.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::looks around sickbay at all the injured crew coming in:: Sickbay: Anyone in here just shirking their duties will be discovered and harshly dealt with so, if you are not really injured, go back to your station.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@[B] Kenji: Now, now Kenji, don't let that warrior spirit come through too strongly. He's not the Jem'Hadar. Save it for later.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: So nothing, Lieutenant? So according to the charts we are, well, exactly where we should have been?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: Exactly Sir.

[B] Delmar says:
@::walks into the ready room and takes a seat:: CO: Howzit.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] Kenji: Look here boyo... for one that is my ship and I get the final say on who boards her. And for two... ::turns to Idrani:: [B] CO: Jem'Hadar?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::watches as several crew members try to leave sickbay without drawing attention to themselves::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: Bridge to Sickbay, report

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@::turns to Idrani:: [B] CO: Who's he calling boyo?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: As you can imagine, we're pretty busy down here sir. We're mostly getting minor injuries and a few shirkers  but there are one or two more seriously injured.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::raises his hands:: All: Okay, shut up everyone. CO: I'd appreciate it if my our crews were free to travel between vessels. We can help with repairs too. The longer we are here the more dangerous it is.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::shifts in his seat, unable to stop thinking about seeing Kenji and Del-mar::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Looks behind him and sees a crewman bleeding all over a nurse:: Nurse: Get that bleeding stopped while he still has some blood left!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: And if the wrong people were to be allowed to interact their emotions would get in the way of the repairs.

Nurse says:
CMO: Yes sir... I'm trying sir.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@CO: I think it'd put a lot of minds at ease. You have the final say, but I trust all these men with my life, if trust is your issue. As for your other question, yes the Jem'Hadar. I'm assuming you have those in your universe too?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: And now? Have you found anything? something out of the ordinary?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: No Sir, not found anything at all out of the ordinary.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: Trust isn't the issue. ::gestures for Idrani to shoo off Ro`kar::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@::looks at MacAllister with fire in his eyes, then summons Stuart::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::cannot wait any longer:: OPS: Lieutenant, the Captain did reach the other ship OK? Perhaps we should check

[B] Stuart_MacAllister says:
@::walks in the ready room:: [B] Kenji: What'd you want? I'm busy!

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@B-Mac/CO: Stuart, Ethan, Ethan, Stuart. CO: Now can I please go to see my brother dammit?!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::stays in his spot with his back to the door:: [B] CO: Thalev, we need to talk.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Rushes over to the bleeding crewman and gets covered in blood as he seals the artery quickly with an auto suture:: Nurse: I know there's a lot of people in here but you have to trust your training. You can do this. Now move on to the next one and we should have all these people back on duty in no time.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::sighs:: All: Everyone OUT. Ethan, take a seat. Coffee, I presume? ::waves away the protests of the ones leaving:: B-Ro'kar: Send the Scimitar our star charts so they can compare.

@ ACTION: Everyone leaves the ready room bar the CO and [B] CO. The Star Charts are transferred to the FCO.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: How about now, Lieutenant?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@::takes a seat:: [B] CO: He's a handful isn't he.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::softly:: Aloud: I really think we should check on the Captain... its been almost 25 minutes...

ACTION: Someone forgot to pick up the stray golf balls and a nurse trips on one while holding a tray of instruments. A sharp one embeds itself about half a centimetre into the CMO's forehead.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: I have just received the Scimitars.. I mean the other ships star charts I will check them against ours now, please have a little patience Sir.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Good, please check ::pauses:: Very well, I will wait...

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@[B] CO: He's saved my life a number of times. He has his way, but he's a good man. Now... we must prioritise getting back to Federation Space.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: Loads the other ships star charts into the console and runs them against the original star charts already there:: 

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Drops to the floor and tries to resist the urge to pull it out as blood starts to cover his eyes:: Sickbay: What idiot brought golf balls into sickbay!? 

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: As far as a free roam between our ships is concerned, I think it's going to have to be limited... Ro`kar's 'brother' just received a communique informing him that he just tried to top himself.

MO Putter says:
CMO: Er... ::coughs as he bends down and stupidly pulls the tool out::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
Self: Hmm :: Looks closer at the charts to check she is not seeing things::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the FCO:: FCO: And now?

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@CO: To be blunt, that is not my concern. My priority is getting back to Starfleet so we can make a final stand against the Dominion.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::watches as his blood covers the MO:: MO: Close this up quickly and then get out of my sight before I do something you'll regret!

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Commander Romak, Engineering reports we have lost warp completely and with no replacement nacelle they can't do much about it unless we get to a starbase.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: Maybe we can be of mutual assistance to each other... the dominion war ended in our universe years ago.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: What? ::regains his composure:: That is unfortunate... Can they salvage parts from the shuttles?

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::looks at him with surprise:: CO: Lucky... they've been sending reinforcements through the wormhole every day. For every one ship we destroyed, they'd end three. How'd you beat them!?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: OK it appears that there are several differences between this ships star charts and that ship there .. :: points out of the view screen: it seems that on their star charts that federation space is around 5 percent of what we have it as on ours, along with Jem'Hadar and Cardassian space is a lot bigger that what we have it down as and the other thing that I noticed are that Betazed, Vulcan, Andor and Earth no longer exist on their star charts.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Commander Romak, I think we'd look funny with a big warp nacelle over here..::gestures:: and a tincy tiny one ::gestures again:: over here.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: I'll have my OPS officer send across the records from my ship.

MO Putter says:
::quickly seals the CMO's wound and scurries off before he can do anything nasty to him::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Five percent? That is a serious difference. So do you think that the Dominion War didn't end?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: True, Lieutenant. I'm a doctor, not an engineer, so they need to tell me if they can make such changes, even if it is temporarily

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: I have no clue Sir.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::gives the CO a glass of bourbon and takes one himself:: CO: Not that it matters. Our plan failed which means we have no chance... here's to lost causes and to honourable deaths in battle. ::raises the glass in a salute before he downs it::

OPS Zen says:
XO: Actually, you're an Executive Officer, not a Doctor. ::grins oh so proud of himself::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: I'll drink to the honourable deaths in battle but I think there might be a chance for you yet.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: So I am, you are incredibly attentive, Lieutenant, good job. I will put a gold star on your chart

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Wait a minute... Commander Ro'kar? Who's that? Another typo? Incoming transmission for Ro'kar, Commander Romak.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Computer: Computer, activate the EMH.

EMH says:
CMO: Please state the nature of the medi... oh.. you again.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
OPS: From who, Ensign?

MO Putter says:
::getting hard to work::

OPS Zen says:
XO: A Kenji..Rok..no that can't be right...a Kenji Romak sir.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
EMH: Yes, me. ::gets up off the floor:: As you can see, the nature of the emergency is that we have a sickbay full of injured crew. It seems like sickbay is far too dangerous a place for me so I'm leaving you in charge down here and going to offer my services up on the bridge.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Kenji! ::stiffens:: OPS: Put it on screen, unless it is marked as private

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@CO: What would that be? Jem'Hadar on our tails. The new dimensional weapon was a huge failure... ::pours himself another glass:: and I'm talking to a man that I saw die just days ago.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Private? Don't think so... ::puts it on the viewer::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@COM: XO: Ren! I knew it was you I had seen.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: Well... to coin an old earth phrase... two Scimitars are better than one... what's the status of your fighter wings?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
EMH: Also, I wouldn't object if MO Putter was to have a little accident. ::turns and walks to the TL::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::rolls his eyes and looks at the view screen:: COM: Kenji: Kenji, my brother... you are my brother, aren't you? What are you doing here? How did you get here? What is going on? ::Takes a breath::

EMH says:
CMO: Leaving me in charge? That is highly against protocol. When will you return? My program wasn't designed to run indefinitely! ::calls after the CMO::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@COM: XO: Well, you're my alternate brother. Kind of like a half brother, only from a different dimension instead.

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::lets out a laugh:: CO: Destroyed 7 months ago. Lost 40 good pilots that day.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Ignores the EMH and enters the TL:: TL: Bridge.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::keeps scanning the star charts to see if there are any more anomalies::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
COM: Kenji: I.... I don't know what to say? I received such drastic news from yo- ::clears throat:: From you in my dimension... it was...was not good news

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
COM: Kenji: And yet you are here... in front of me, on this view screen

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: Then we could safely say they wouldn't be expecting another 4 squadrons. ::grins and downs his drink:: Or two of the same ship for that matter.

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@COM: XO: Your Captain wouldn't let me beam over. So I called you instead. ::grins:: I wanted to see my brother before I died.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: Typical Captain... ::out loud:: COM: Kenji:You...you died? ::swallows hard:: Kenji, what do you mean died? Surely things are not that drastic here? Surely you can... ::has lost his composure::

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@::laughs again:: CO: I don't think you fully grasp the situation. Even if we had 40 Scimitars, it's not enough. They have thousands upon thousands. They prepare their final attack to wipe us out. They already destroyed Andor, Earth and Vulcan to name a few. No.. this weapon was our last chance.

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@::looks closely at the XO, leaning in to fill the screen with his eye:: XO: Not as smart as the Ren I knew, mind. He would have been able to tell a live man about to die from an already dead one.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: You've changed Thalev... there was a time you would have faced a hundred thousand ships with a shuttle and a huge smile on your face.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::twitches, a flicker of anger:: COM: Kenji: I am the Ren who likely understands the meaning of never giving up. Our...my...your... I dunno, our dad did not have to die in vain. He did not have to go on that suicide mission

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::Exits the Turbolift and steps onto the bridge::

[B] CO Capt. Idrani says:
@CO: Did you not just hear that Andor was destroyed? ::slams his glass on the desk, shattering it:: Do you know what it's like to see every Andorian left in the universe be wiped out and not being able to do a damned thing about it? I am a warrior, I have been from the age of 12, but this isn't war any more. This is just a game for the Jem'Hadar. They had us in checkmate ages ago, but they're allowed to play on and capture all our pawns... don't you come over here from the relatively easy life you had, a time of peace and happiness, and tell me I've changed. Of course I've changed, damn it!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::stands quietly at the back while the XO talks to his brother.... or brother clone...::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@COM: XO: What do you mean he died? ::smiles:: So he died in your universe, did he. Jinraak didn't die here.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::rubs her eyes and stretches her fingers while continuing to scan through the charts ::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
COM: Kenji: What? ::feels the blood drain from his face:: He...he didn't die here... what happened to him? Where is he? Is he OK? What about our mother?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::feels faint at the idea of his father still being alive::

[B] Kenji Ro'kar says:
@COM: XO: Both alive and kicking. You're the only one who died over here. Turned out to be a damned Cardassian spy... treacherous heathen...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
@[B] CO: Save it Idrani! How many times have you died so far? You know what... forget it... you seem to be forgetting that we have tactical data about the Jem`Hadar that you obviously don't if the war has been allowed to continue for this long. If you want to sit here and feel sorry for yourself, resigning yourself to your defeat and taking your anger out on tables then send us back and get on with it! But if you want to deal a blow to the Jem`Hadar then let us try.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::notices that he's covered in blood but decides it would be too embarrassing to leave the Bridge to clean up so soon after arriving. Besides, it'll make him look more menacing to the CSO::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
COM: Kenji: Me? A spy? I... I don't know
