Last time on the Scimitar...

Admiral Shinra, accompanied by Commander Ro'kar, set off in a shuttle to complete her Ambassadorial meeting. On the way, however, they are attacked by an unknown ship and taken captive. Data shows their attackers are from the mirror universe.
 
Their captor is soon revealed to them - the Mirror Shinra! Now Captain Rome and his crew are left with some tough decisions to make.
 
Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.- Robert H. Schuller

CSO Lt Powers
@::On the starbase trying to figure out how to get onto the departed Scimitar::
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
::sits next to Rome:: CO: I know it's hard, but I don't know what else we can do.
 
CO Capt Rome
OPS: We need Lietuenant Powers, get him here.
 
OPS Lt Zen 
CO: Aye! ::contact the starbase::
 
CSO Lt Powers
@Self: I can't believe they left me here.
 
OPS Lt Zen 
::gets permission for transport:: *CSO*: Scimitar to Powers.
 
CSO Lt Powers
@*OPS*: You left me. I can't believe you left me. What am I supposed to do for the next 7 months?
 
CO Capt Rome
*CSO*: Mr. Powers, I recalled you 15 minutes ago. Next time be quicker on your feet, stand by for transport mister.
 
ACTION: The CSO is transported over in one piece.
 
CO Capt Rome
::looks over at Powers:: CSO: To your station, Lieutenant.
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Go over there you mean ?
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: Aye sir. I detected some sort of ship appearing out of nowhere. I'm assuming it wasn't a problem on my end.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: I was wondering if you'd heard me. Yes, going over.
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: The ship appeared, attacked the shuttle carrying Admiral Shinra and Commander Ro´kar, and took them. Then vanished. I need you to confirm that the ship did come from the mirror universe.
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: It would take weeks to gather the supplies and convert a shuttle for the dimensional drive......months for the Scimitar herself!
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: You're joking... things seemed to be going so well... I mean, aye sir. ::goes over the readings from the other ship::
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: Work with Stephanie, at least she -was- here.
 
FCO Ens Uax
:: chuckles at the jab from the captain at the CSO ::
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Weeks... we have a time machine don't we?
 
CSO Lt Powers
FCO: What have you got, Ensign?
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: So you suggest we spend the next couple of week gathering illegal supplies and working on building a dimensional drive, MOSTLY from memory. Then go back, AGAIN, and rescue Ren from here?
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: Sir... we could go back in time to when you had the other ship and use the parts from that.
 
FCO Ens Uax
CSO: Not much. all I know is that it was a demensional ship, which means we'd need to do a demensional jump.
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: When I was here in this universe, the ship was in pieces, the Scimitar herself rescued me and SFI took it from us almost immediately. I'd rather not jump into that mess of having to steal it from myself.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: I don't know. Can't we go back in time to where we can get that technology then come back? Or if we can go to any time, can't we go way into the future and get technology that hasnt been invented yet?
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Steal from yourself? There's only one of you at a time, remember?
 
CO Capt Rome
::starts rubbing his temples:
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: So if we go back to where I am in the ship, then I wouldn't be in the ship, and the ship wouldn't be there....
 
CSO Lt Powers
::brings up the readings from the attack to confirm where the ship came from::
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: We go to the exact time you reappeared and you'll be here and not there and we can take the ship. ::really trying not to sound confusing:: Make sense?
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: I can't interfere in my own timeline!
 
CO Capt Rome
::turns around to look at Powers:: CSO: John. You still have contacts in SFI, correct?
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Okay Jonathan, what do you want to do? If we stop the mirror ship in the past before they took Shinra and Ro'kar, that could work.
 
CO Capt Rome
::sighs::
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Sounds like a reasonable first step.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: An hour in the past, be ready for the attack, stop it?
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: I don't know what you're talking about. I've never worked for SFI. ::nods to the CO::
 
CO Capt Rome
::glares at Powers:: CSO: Alright, we'll talk later.
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Alright, get it done.
 
CO Capt Rome
CTO: Amuz, get this ship ready to fight.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CSO: How long before we can jump back in time an hour?
 
CO Capt Rome
*CEO*: Engineering, we're jumping time. Get the ship ready.
 
CTO Khethiwe Amuz 
CO: Aye, Captain. Do you want to go to yellow or red alert?
 
CO Capt Rome
CTO: Red alert, but silence the damn klaxons and make sure the station won't pick us up when we appear. Hide our weapon signatures.
 
CTO Khethiwe Amuz
CO: I will do my best, sir. ::begins the configuration requests::
 
CSO Lt Powers
CIV: Assuming that you didn't do anything to the device while I was gone, we should be able to jump back now,
 
CO Capt Rome
::waves the Yeoman over::
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CSO: You're wrong, Lieutenant. If this goes wrong, it's your fault no matter what. ::grins:: Please prepare for a jump.
 
CTO Khethiwe Amuz
CO: Bringing us to silent red alert now, sir. ::presses the button::
 
CO Capt Rome
Yeoman: Get my old engineering journals out of storage and bring them to my ready room.
 
ACTION: The red alert sirens blare extra loud.
 
CO Capt Rome
CTO: Shut that off!
 
CTO Khethiwe Amuz
CO: Trying to, sir
 
ACTION: Alarms are silenced.
 
CSO Lt Powers
CIV: We jumped almost immediately after the unfortunate affair with the asteroid and that was after a ship wide power drain. If the engineering department hasn;t messed around with it too much, I don't see why the device can't be used again. I will obviously make sure everything is running properly before pushing the button though.
 
CSO Lt Powers
::runs a diagnostic of the time device::
 
FCO Ens Uax
CSO: Let's get to this. I wanna be done and over with all this as quickly as possible.
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: When we're ready, take us back. About 10 minutes before the ship appeared. we need to make sure that the Commander and Admiral are on the shuttle heading out.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CSO: Understood. Let me know when it's ready please.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
FCO: Be ready to change course to intercept the enemy vessel.
 
CSO Lt Powers
::sees that the device is running normally, with the addition of a dampening field:: CIV: Everything is working fine on my end. I'm ready when everyone else is.
 
FCO Ens Uax
CIV: Aye
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CSO: Thank you. CO: We're ready. ::looks to his wonderful Amuz:: CTO: Tactical?
 
CO Capt Rome
::turns in his chair slowly towards Thalev:: CIV: Do you wanna take over?
 
CTO Khethiwe Amuz 
::smiles softly:: CIV: Of course, Commander
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
::returns the smile, still not over the joy of being reunited with her:: CO: No thank you. They don't pay me nearly enough.
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Then sit back, and enjoy the ride, blueman.
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: I do have one suggestion, sir. As we're going to use the time device anyway, we could take this opportunity to head to Risa for a month or so and then jump back to save the XO.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
::needs the CO to take control as a captain should::
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: Next time, Lieutenant. ::smiles::
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: Activate.
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: Aye sir. ::Activates the device::
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
::laughs at the CSOs joke, nervous about the jump::
 
ACTION: The Scimitar jumps back in time. Perfectly. All is well. Nothing bad happened. It's looking good. Everyone can relax. It was a fantastic time jump.
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: Scan the surrounding area. I want a constant update if anything changes.
 
CO Capt Rome
OPS: Communications blackout.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
::turns to the CSO for his report::
 
OPS Lt Zen 
::nods to the CO::
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: We've arrived back to the very second we were aiming for, sir. A perfect jump you might say.
 
CO Capt Rome
CSO: Good driving, Lieutenant.
 
CO Capt Rome
::Stands up and places his hands behind his back:: All: Now we wait.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Shuttle is on course, Shinra and Ro'kars life signs on board.
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: Thank you, sir. ::keeps a constant watch on the sensor readings::
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Prepare a tractor lock and a transporter lock.
 
CSO Lt Powers
CO: Sir, we could warn the XO and make sure they don't take the shuttle.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Why the hard way round instead of asking Ro'kar to bring the shuttle back to us?
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: I was getting to that.
 
CO Capt Rome
Self: Time travel is tiresome.
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: I can't take the tension.... please... do tell
 
CO Capt Rome
CIV: Contact him, but I want that tractor beam and transporter lock. When have things ever gone according to plan ?
 
CIV Cmdr Idrani 
CO: Well our last jump... ::nods:: Preparing tractor beam.
