Last time on the Scimitar...

The Scimitar began returning power to the ship after it lost it in the strange lightning strike. The XO and Amuz returned to the Bridge as the crew attempted to follow Thalev's trail. They performed the shield alterations, as Amuz noted that Thalev had looked 25 years older than she remembered.

Soon, Thalev appeared again, but he could not stay long on the ship. They detected some strange device that seemed to be preventing Thalev from beaming permanently onto the Scimitar but could only send him supplies before he disappeared again. They are now working on a way to rescue him for good.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission -  Pinnacle – Part 5>>>>>>>>>>

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::on the Bridge, still consoling Amuz::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Engineering, did you beam those supplies across in time?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Ensign, scan for any debris left by the encounter, anything that can help

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::On the engineering deck:: *XO*: Yes, Sir

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood.. :: taps a few buttons 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: And the device we managed to retrieve?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Amuz: Take a seat on the third chair, Lieutenant, gather your thoughts and let me deal with this

Khethiwe Amuz says:
::nods and moves to the centre area::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: We have it. I would suggest analyzing it to see what it it exactly.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Excellent idea. ::turns to Zen:: OPS: Lieutenant, will you be able to analyze the device from your console here?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Anything yet, Ensign?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Yes Sir, my console has all the usual USB, Microcard and Data Storage Device ports.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Nothing as of yet. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Micro-HDMI as well?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Establish a link with the Operations console on the bridge, Ensign, I want Zen to take a look as well

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::grins:: XO: You could plug in a Ferengi-Station 900 here if you wanted.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: I can do that, sir. ::Links the engineering colsole in front of him to the operations colsole::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: How about warp trails? Or alternative methods of getting Idrani off the ship?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Nothing as of yet but I'm working on it.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::narrows his eyes:: FCO: Ensign are you implying that we have all the time in the world? You do understand that it is imperitive that we obtain Commander Idrani in the next itteration?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Yes Commander I do. It would be good to maybe see the data off that device.. Give an idea..

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Does his own scans of the device::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: By all means. ::turns to Zen again:: OPS: Do you have anything yet, Lieutenant?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Looking now, but maybe we should link it to a non-networked console. We have no idea what it is.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Taps his combadge:: *XO*: Engineering to bridge.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Go ahead

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: I appreciate your concern, Lieutenant, but won't that take some time?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*:I've never seen a device like this. I'm not sure what it's for, but it it laced eith chronotons like the hull plating exept it's stonger and is not fading as quickly.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::analyses the particles in more depth and the initial scan of the exterior of the device:: XO: As you wish. *CEO*: Chief, please initiate link with device. XO: The initial scans show the device operates on a similar frequency to that of the energy pulses we experienced earlier which begs the question of whether the pulses were natural bi-product of the time-travel or... ::lets the sentence trail::

Khethiwe Amuz says:
::turns to the OPS officer:: OPS: Or what? Are you saying THIS thing caused the disruptions and...and... ::begins to lose her composure again::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*OPS*: Right away. ::Trys to link the alien device to the console::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Success, somehow that was the reason we couldn't beam Idrani out.. theoretically we should be able to this time around.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::looks at the data flooding in:: XO: My God... ::looks up at the XO with horror in his face:: This might have been what caused Idrani's time travel in the first place.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::curses in Bajoran::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: So the same thing that was preventing us beaming him off the ship might be the thing that was causing him to time travel back to our time?

ACTION: The energy pulse rips into the universe from another time-line and Idrani's vessel bursts onto the scene as expected. The energy discharge is a thousand times more powerful than previous occasions.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: He's back! 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::glances up just in time:: All: Brace for impact!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Lock onto him, beam him out of that ship and straight to sickbay!

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood. If i can keep us stable. I'm having a hard time keeping us stable.. :: 
taps a few buttons and initiates transport :: 

ACTION: The energy discharges  being so strong interfere with any transport attempt. In the meantime, a large vessel, a few hundred times larger than the Scimitar bursts out of the fissure behind Idrani firing weapons at him. He tries his best to evade.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Engineering! I need as much power as you can give me to transporters!

Khethiwe Amuz says:
::jumps up and is at the Tactical console before Ro'kar can say a word::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Evasive pattern Delta three, we need to rescue Commander Idrani and get out of here!

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Yes, sir... wait  --the device is humming?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Idrani is... ::grabs his console as the ship rocks violently, despite the shield modifications:: he's hailing us!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: On screen!

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: already on it.. 

Cmdr. Thalev Idrani says:
::appears on screen:: COM: XO: Commander.. ::speaks weakly in his old age - he looks as old as any Andorian can get:: get out of here...go... you must go! Forget the rescue. My time has come anyway but you can't stop them without dying.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
COM: Thalev_Idrani: I can't leave you, Commander, not when we have come so far

Cmdr. Thalev Idrani says:
COM: XO: No, you don't understand. This is bigger than me and you. Someone has to warn Star... ::his comm is cut off as his ship is hit by an energy pulse::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Get him back!!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: And WHAT in the Prophets' name do you mean the device is humming?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: His comm is shot! He's getting close to his departure coordinates.

ACTION: The huge ship fires weapons at the Scimitar too.

Khethiwe Amuz says:
XO: Give me access to the weapons, we can fight that vessel! We have to!

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: I mean it's like it been activated...

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Any luck with the transporter lock?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: I know this may seem idiotic but what about setting a colision course at the attacking vessel.. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: I am a XO not an engineer, could you be more descriptive?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: That is highly idiotic, what is your reasoning?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Give idrani some escape time 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Ensign, you saw how old he is. He will not be back after this... this is it, now or never

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: that and get us closer to maybe get a better lock.. the ship is large enough our only escape may be in the same direction as Idrani.. 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Dammit... the device is effecting system control. I highly suggest cutting the link, sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Do it!

ACTION: In a desperate attempt to avoid energy discharges, Idrani's ship keeps trying evasive patterns. The large ship fires at the Scimitar again for being in the way. Despite the modifications, the sheer volume of energy is damaging the ship.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Trying sir.... what the hell...  I can't cut the link!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::mutters:: Self: Forgive me, Thalev...

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: What do you mean?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: get as close as you can to Idrani's vessel and reinforce the shields

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Self: One more try... please by the Prophets... Pl- ::sees Idrani's ship leave::

ACTION: As Idrani's ship disappears again, the Scimitar is hit with a huge blast. The ship is launched into a sideways barrel roll as intertial dampeners also go offline.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood. :: maneuvers into position 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: flys out of her seat at the sheer impact :: 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: I think that the device might of overid the console so I don't have access to it anymore.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::flies across the Bridge, reaching out to grab onto something and is rewarded with a pop as his right shoulder dislocates::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::tumbles around the bridge and screams in agony as he gets falls twice awkwardly across the bridge and snaps his leg until bone sticks out.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: reaches up and randomly taps a few buttons to try and restore inertial dampers :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::groans:: *CEO*: Bridge to Engineering, are you there?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::The blast knocks him over severly brusing his back.

ACTION: Another blast strikes the ship full on destroying more systems as the device hums stronger. The Scimitar, in a flash, is sucked in to the other time-zone. On the viewer, Idrani's ship can be seen and the moon Andor looming ever closer.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: flys across the bridge hitting her head on a bulkhead blacking out :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::flies the other way, banging his shoulder more out of place and emits a low groan::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::immediately starts to rise:: All: Everyone OK?

ACTION: Idrani's ship gets closer, it is using all power it can to help slow the Scimitar from crashing into Andor. Ground features can easily be made out as they get ever closer.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::in agony::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::gritting his teeth, he runs to the Helm console, trying to figure out which button allows them to reverse course or to halt their descent

ACTION: The device goes dead, seemingly failing.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Very slowly sits up against a wall::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::mutters:: Self: Not today and not by your hand... Come on you silly ship, obey me!

ACTION: Idrani's efforts seem to be helping stabilise the Scimitar as they both enter the lower atmosphere.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::attempts to right the ship with one arm using the automated programs::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Crawls to the nearst console, diverting all non-essential power to the bridge::

ACTION: Idrani and Ro'Kars efforts are helping, but the crash is inevitable. Idrani's power drains and his tractor beam fails, as do his remaining thrusters. His ship starts to plummet as the Scimitar is set up on a good gliding angle.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: The fighters... if any are still operational maybe they can ::wincing through the pain:: help slow the descent.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::shifts over to the active program that was attempting to get a lock on Thalev and tries to get a lock again::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Good idea... the question is whether the flight team is operational...

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Sir, is everything okay there?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*TIC*: Bridge to TIC, launch all active fighters and use their tractor beams to slow our decent.

ACTION: Out of time! The Scimitar makes contact with Andor. A large boulder doesn't help as the hull scrapes the floor and the ship starts dragging along the floor sideways.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: flys to the front of the bridge getting pinned under one of the consoles :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Argh! The paintwork.... Captain Rome is not going to be happy when he finds out....

SCENE: The last thing the crew can see before they all pass out is the rock-face heading towards them at a high rate of knots, or the smoke rising from what must be Idrani's crash site.
