Last time on the Scimitar...

The Scimitar crew continued the auction, winning a medical device in the process that appeared to create any blood type in a small quantity.
Back on the ship it was discovered that the Jem Hadar ship possibly contained Tholians and the Vidiian ship occasionally fluctuating. The auction ended abruptly and moments later, the Romulan ship cloaked.

The Vidiian 'flickered' briefly again, showing signs of being out of phase with the rest of reality, at the same time the medical device did the same thing, affecting the CMO. The CMO has retreated to investigate the device while the rest of the crew research why the Vidiian ship keeps fluctuating with repeated frequency.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission - Out of the Shadows - Part 6>>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::on the Bridge debating ways to contact the Klingons:: Self: I wonder if we can use morse code

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Report, where are the Romulans ?

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::in the primary science lab monitoring the medical device::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::In a science lab, with the blood making machine, trying to understand why it fluctuates, like the ships but, getting no where::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Commander, there's something fishy going on... I'm reading tachyons in really close proximity.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks up at the OPS officer:: OPS: How close, Ensign?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: That's lieutenant, Commander Romack. ::smiles politely:: And very very close... within metres of the hull!

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Going over some data on a computer console, the results of some previously run tests::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::taps his badge:: *CO*: Captain, I can only speculate that they may well be where ever this medical device is phasing too....

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Prepare to raise shields...

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Aye but if there is an object that close and we raise the shields, I don't know what could happen.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::starts looking around:: Aloud: Tactical and Science, is there anything on the sensors? ::looks at Zen:: OPS: Can you pinpoint where it is coming from?

ACTION: The Scimitar shudders and a large metallic clang can be heard.

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: the shields emitter will either close around it, or push it out..

CO Capt. Rome says:
::listens::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: I am also concerned that the damn device is going to try and pull us with it....

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: What. Was. That? ::gets out of his seat::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Hears a bang::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: All right Captain, lock a transponder beacon on it, and eject it to port if it starts affecting the Scimitar.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::walks over the the CMO:: CMO: Getting any results Doctor?

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Locate that docking attempt!

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Self: I think we just hit an ice burg::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: Don't you worry about that the transport is already locked and set

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::frantically working the controls:: CO: Docking port six, on the underside... I still can't tell who we picked up but we definitely have company.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: Intruder alert, Captain?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: No, Sir. But, I didn't expect to, this isn't exactly my kind of science.  I've been going through some of the results we obtained early.  I see nothing telling, so far.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::nods:: XO: See to it, take a team down there.

ACTION: Medical device fluctuates again to the point of completely vanishing for several seconds before reappearing.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Tactical: Tactical, activate intruder alert. All personnel are to be locked down

ACTION: Intruder alert sounds

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
Aloud: What the......  CMO: I think I have an idea....

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: That's not good.  I mean the intruder alert not that you have an idea.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::unholsters his phaser and moves to the turbolift:: TL: Docking port six

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Vidiian ship phased again and this time it was a big one. They are definitely phasing in and out of our universe.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: I agree, but security will deal with it, we have more pressing matters

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*Security*: Security room, we have an intruder alert active. Send two teams to meet me at Docking port six and lock down the ship

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Make sure we stay clear of any....in draft.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*OPS*: Zen, can you beam a micro-probe inside the primary science lab containment field?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Aye Sir... ::gets the gist of what the CO means::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Agreed, security isn't my thing either.  To bad we can't attach some kind of sensor or something to the devoice that will detach itself from the device when it phases and is where ever it goes to.  Is that a possibility or am I talking science fiction?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*CIV*: Yes, I can if you want me to.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::arrives at the docking port:: Self: I'm an XO not a tactician... or am I? I don't know any more... ::steps forward, raising the forcefield after him and the team::

SCENE: Docking port hasn't been opened.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: That is exactly my plan, we put a probe in the containment field, it phases with the device, and as the device is in constant flux a small gateway will remain for the data feed to return to us... theoretically

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Any chatter ?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Runs a tricorder over device checking for any residue on it that will give us a clue as to where it went::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*OPS*:  Yes then, if you would Mr Zen

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Oh good, I'm glad you thought of it.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Seems to be a lot between the Jem Hadar, Vidiians and Tholians since the Romulans cloaked.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
*CIV*: Aye. ::beams the micro-probe as requested::

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Hack into it.

ACTION: Micro-probe successfully beamed.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::motions for the security team:: Security: Set phasers to stun only. *Bridge*: Lieutenant Commander Ro'kar to Bridge, the docking port has not been opened, is there signs of life behind the door?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: How can I assist you?

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: We're attempting to send a probe with the medical device as it phases, find out where its going?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Will do my best Sir. ::gets to work, glad that on such a busy day as this he had the best training from the best guy he ever met, the one and only Thalev Idrani, God among men::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO:  Can you monitor the medical sensor readings from the probe?

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Do it, Captain.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*XO*: Checking now, Commander.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at Zen::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Sets the probe to collect a few samples, as well as data when it is sent::  CIV: Aye, Sir, I'll set that up now too.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Gets to his tasks::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::sits down at a console near the containment field, with controls for the probe:: CMO: I'm monitoring probe integrity and science sensors

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::wonders why the CO is staring at him and wishes he hadn't worn the tighter trousers today:: CO: It might take a while, Sir.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::sees the results on the side console::*Bridge*: Looks like they are Klingon life signs, transmitting a weak signal to avoid detection... they 'say' they come in peace

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::watches as the probe attaches to the medical device::

ACTION: Medical device phases again, probe with it.

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: The Commander is asking for life sign scans of the docking port, Lieutenant!

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Never mind.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Apologies Sir... very busy...

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: I'm all set here, you can launch the probe whenever you are ready, Sir.  ::Pushing a few last commands into computer::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*XO*: All right Commander, let them in. Keep weapons trained in case.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::motions for the security to open the door, keeping his phaser raised::

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::sets the probe to detach from the medical device::

ACTION: Door opens to reveal 3 Klingons, weapons holstered. They offer their hands in greeting.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::hesitantly holsters his phaser:: Klingons: Who are you and why did you scratch our paint work? ::motions for the team to lower their weapons::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: Are you receiving any data?

Klingon says:
XO: I am K'Roc of the house of Kitrof. The Tholians must be stopped.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Yes, but so far nothing conclusive. ::Ready the stats::

ACTION: Medical device phases back into reality, probe with it.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*XO*: Ro'kar, report!?

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::sees the device reappear:: CMO: Damn, the probe didn't detach

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
K'Roc: I am Lieutenant Commander Ro'kar, Ex- ::is interrupted:: K'Roc: Give me a minute

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Sees the probe return and gets ready to examine it:: CIV: Maybe it collected the samples I asked it to.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CO*: Captain I have three Klingons here, lead one identifies himself as K'Roc of the family Kitrof. He says the Tholians have to be stopped... I am tempted to agree with him

CO Capt. Rome says:
*XO*: Bring them up here.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
K'Roc: Forgive my wariness, but if you would like to follow me, I will take you to my captain. Forgive me as I state that the security team has to follow us as a precaution

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Sir, I have one feed from the Vidiian ship to the Tholian ship!

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: On speakers.

K'Roc says:
XO: Don't apologise for it is a sign of weakness. ::follows::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Hey, this may be a break in this case, Mr. Holmes.  The probe is giving me readings.  The medical device phased to another reality, along with Vidiian ship.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: I think I've determined the time sequence within which it phases.... I'm setting a delay so it should detach next time it phases

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::hides a grin as he walks:: K'Roc: Of course ::steps into the Turbolift:: How many of your crew are here?

AUDIO: ...not part of our deal!.....We are running out of time. If we don't do this soon you won't get all the information you or I need.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: According to this, the sensors on the probe picked up hundreds of Tholian ships and Vidiian ship with both races represented on all ships.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::checks the data downloading from the probe:: CMO: Good Find Doc.... seems there a signatures from hundreds of what seems like vidian and tholian ships

AUDIO: Don't you see the mess this has become? You said it would be a piece of cake and we have a disabled Gorn, cloaked Romulans and Klingons and Starfleet on their toes.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Exactly what I read too.  I hate alternate realities, they give me a headache, looks like Tholians and Vidiians are tight in that universe too, you don't suppose the Tholians and Vidiians here with us now are actually from this other universe, do you?

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::arrives at the Bridge::K'Roc: Right this way, sir

K'Roc says:
::follows::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::holds up a hand and shushes everyone as they arrive::

AUDIO: Do not forget our deal. I don't care what alliance we have in your universe. Here, the Tholians are alone. We will destroy you if you do not hold your side of the bargain.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::waves the entourage over::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: If that's the case, things may not be good

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::gestures to the spare seat for K'Roc and resists the urge to offer a beverage and light snack::

AUDIO: You've made that very clear. We must move on to the final auction piece. Get all the information we can on the enemy ready for our full scale invasion. Territory for you, the organs of the prisoners we capture to be ours.

K'Roc says:
::growls::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: Captain we have some disturbing news

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Shush.

ACTION: Vidiian ship phases with medical device, which cuts the comm that was being listened into.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: All right, go ahead.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: Hopefully that probe will detach this time.... keep checking for a feed

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: It seems the medical device is phasing into an alternate reality.... and one where the Tholians and Vidians seems to have amassed a large military alliance

CO Capt. Rome says:
::extends his hand towards the leading Klingon::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Watches CIV talking to CO, thankful he isn't a Captain and wondering how they are going to get us out of this one and remembering when he recommended not following the Tholian ship into unknown space without telling SFC but, water under the bridge::  CIV: Aye, Sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Backs up what we just heard....we managed to slice into their comms. They are preparing an invasion......

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Looking for new incoming data::

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: Well they have a whole invasion fleet in the this sector, just out of phase with our universe

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Start collecting data on possible ways they travel between dimensions....from there we might come up with a way to extend some kind of a dampening field over the area.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: The feed is working, Sir.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: We have a feed from our probe which I now situated in the other reality..... transmitting tactical data on the fleet

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: Well done Doc

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Transmit to main viewer. Good work down there.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::transmits data to the bridge::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Nothing much new, Sir.  There are a lot of ships in that other reality, if they come here and we can't escape this web we are in, we're toast.  We have to find a way to warn SFC of the threat.

ACTION: On the main viewer hundreds of ships can be seen.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: Uh. Oh.

CO Capt. Rome says:
All: Let's make sure they stay in Kansas....or we stay in Kansas....or they don't get to Kansas....

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
Self: Too late.

K'Roc says:
CO: Maybe that is where we can come in. We've determined a way to escape the grid, but it requires so much power we'd both have to focus a beam into one spot. Even then it is tricky but today is a glorious day to die.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: I'm monitoring the external sensors, Sir. We have company.

CO Capt. Rome says:
K'Roc: Show me the figures and we can talk.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: What is this device actual designed for?

K'Roc says:
::swivels a console without asking and taps some keys:: CO: Here. This frequency at this strength sustained for about 2 minutes should create a break. The rest of the grid will collapse at that time.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: It can manufacture blood, Sir.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Co/K'Roc: What could possibly go wrong? And it is better than sitting here waiting

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at the console:: K'Roc: We would have to focus most of our energy into that, tie the deflector straight into the core......we would be all but defenceless for 2 minutes. I may be mad, but I'm not crazy.

K'Roc says:
CO: What other option is there?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Captain, Romulan is decloaking!

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: Hail them, peacecode only!

ACTION: Romulan warbird decloaks in close proximity to the Vidiian vessel and fires full weapons before cloaking again.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: I can't get a direct link because they cloaked again!

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
All: It looks like they are more interested in the Vidiians than us. We could use them as a distraction.

ACTION: Romulans decloak again on a different trajectory and fires another volley at the Vidiian before cloaking again.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Good idea....start the preparations, work with Captain K'Roc!

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: Okay... I concerned though that the device is being used to destabilise the rift between our two realities

ACTION: Jem Hadar and Tholian ships move into a battle formation to protect the Vidiian ship and start firing blindly inside the grid.

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Captain Wuer, you have 5 minutes to come up with a theory on how we stop them from jumping dimensions.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
K'Roc: How do we liaise with your ship?

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: Okay....

K'Roc says:
XO: These two ::points to his fellow Klingons:: will relay messages.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: Nothing like a bit of pressure

ACTION: A few of the wild shots slam into the Scimitar.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::feels the ship rock:: OPS: Raise shields, but do not fire back.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Aye Sir. Shields up!

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the two Klingons:: K'Roc: Ok-ay... ::almost loses his balance as the shots hit the Scimitar:: CO: Captain... are you sure you want to do this?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Some kind of tractor beam or a web of our own might hold them.

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: No....continue.

K'Roc says:
XO: I don't' want the Tholians intercepting any messages.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
K'Roc: It makes sense... please proceed with how to implement your suggestion

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
CMO: True, but wouldn't stabilise the fabric of reality

ACTION: Romulan decloaks, fires a volley and cloaks again but not without taking a little damage themselves.

K'Roc says:
XO: Configure your deflector dish as per the specifications. When you are done, start firing at these coordinates. ::points:: I'll be back on my ship ready to fire once I see you have started.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: I'm out of my league on this one.

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::nods:: K'Roc: Alright... and you are sure this will work... not blow up our ship?

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: ...but, I'll help you in any way I can.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: I think the devices that were auctioned may well contain technology which is creating a rift between out two universes.... they placed it into technology they knew we would all want.... its an educated hunch

K'Roc says:
XO: No, I'm not sure but imagine the songs of glory if this works! Klingon and Starfleet side by side against Jem Hadar, Tholians and Vidiian scum while the Romulans act their usual disgraceful way!

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Actually that makes a lot of sense....the filaments between universes respond to these foreign but small objects.....

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
K'Roc: Alright. Qa'pla, K'Roc.

K'Roc says:
XO: That's the spirit. Qa'plah! ::walks off the bridge heading for his ship::

CO Capt. Rome says:
*CIV*: Better be safe....destroy it.

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
CIV: Maybe the auction was just a way to get a item on each of the other ships here, maybe the device being here causes us to phase too, we should get rid of it, I think.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
*CO*: My only real suggestion therefore is to destroy all the technology ::looks at the CMO re-empting his reaction::

CO Capt. Rome says:
K'Roc: Captain ! Wait !

XO Lt.Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::begins to implement the changes:: CO: I should be able to make these changes soon, Captain.

K'Roc says:
CO: The battlefield doesn't wait even for the bravest man Captain - what is it?

CO Capt. Rome says:
K'Roc: The Vidiian technology....we must destroy it all immediately. Try and contact the Romulans, inform them.

CIV Cpt. Wuer says:
::sets the containment field to disintegrate its content::

K'Roc says:
::nods and leaves::

CMO Cmdr. Bauer says:
::Watches the CIV work::

CO Capt. Rome says:
OPS: This is where it gets exciting. ::manages a slight grin as he sits down in the centre seat::

ACTION: The CIV is successful in destroying the technology.
