XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
@::on the shuttle, debating whether to start a game of i-spy::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::On the bridge preparing to beam the XO and admiral onto the Scimitar, as ordered::

Admiral Shinra says:
@XO: Fancy a game of "I Spy"?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
@::brightens up:: Shinra: Are you sure you aren't betazoid, Admiral? Yes, I would, you start

Admiral Shinra says:
@XO: I spy with my little eye something beginning with...holy crap!

ACTION: Mirror universe ship appears as before.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
@Shinra: Holy cr- ::sees the ship:: By the Prophets!

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: keeping the ship at a safe distance from the vessel we came back to find :: 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::attempts to beam the XO and admiral onto the Scimitar:: TO: Keep that ship away from the shuttle.

TO_Oran says:
::On the Bridge at her post at Tac I:: CSO: Aye, sir. 

ACTION: XO and Adm are beamed out to the Scimitar bridge.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks around:: All: What is going on here?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Welcome back, sir. We were expecting this.

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: Long story, Commander. Everything will be explained shortly.

ACTION: The mirror universe ship moves to attack the Scimitar.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
TO: See if you can get a tractor beam locked on to that ship. We need to stop it jumping back into the mirror universe.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: uhm the ship is moving to attack pattern.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
All: O-kay... ::looks at the view screen, then at the others, then at Shinra:: Admiral: Please, Admiral, take a seat

Admiral Shinra says:
::sits down:: XO: There'd better be a damned good explanation for this.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
TO: Red alert, Ensign. Helm, evasive pattern alpha three

TO_Oran says:
::nods and starts the sequence to lock on to the ship:: 
FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood.. :: executes the evasive manoeuvre

TO_Oran says:
XO: Shields up and at maximum. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Apologies Lieutenant, the bridge is still yours.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, that ship is from a mirror universe and kidnapped you and the admiral the last time it was here. We need to keep it here to find out why. I'll hand command back to you, sir. Tactical situations are not my speciality.

ACTION: The mirror universe ship opens fire.

TO_Oran says:
XO: Should we fire back, sir? ::monitors shields::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
TO: Target their shields, see if we can get a lock on the occupants inside

TO_Oran says:
XO: Aye, sir. Targeting shields and firing. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Keep our strong side to face the weapons fire

ACTION: Scimitar shakes with weapons fire.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::runs scans on the mirror universe ship to learn as much as possible about it::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: So do you know who is on that ship, Lieutenant?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Way ahead of you commander.. :: flips the ship to the starboard side so full shields are available :: 

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Damage to deflector dish. Secondary system has activated.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: No sir, just that it appeared, captured you and the admiral before destroying your ship and disappearing again.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Transfer power to shield the deflector dish. Tactical, are we making a dent yet?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::responds::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Can we track who is on that ship? Any distinguishing marks? Or scan for specific life signs?

ACTION: A huge volley is fired directly at the bridge. Shields drop 50%.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
All: There has to be a reason this person is attacking us!

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I'm trying, sir.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Shields down to 50%! One more hit like that.. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Try harder, dammit!

TO Oran says:
XO: They seem to be focusing on the bridge. Maybe they want something... being as you and the Admiral were their initial target and they wouldn't have known you were there it stands to reason that the Admiral is what they are after.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Then move us around! Stop letting him or her or it attacking us on one spot

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: hits the thrusters full reverse and turns the ship on its Y axis :: 

ACTION: A volley from the Scimitar catches the mirror universe ship in just the right spot damaging the device used for switching universes.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::grunts at the XO as he continues to scan the enemy ship::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
TO: Can we get a lock?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
ALL: OH forgot to mention. HOLD on to your hats! 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Shinra: Admiral, who would want you so desperately from a mirror universe?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: At least tell me how many life signs are on board?

Admiral Shinra says:
::shrugs:: XO: This is all new to me, Commander. I thought you'd have the answer.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Send word to TIC, dispatch the fighters, if we can do a multi-vector attack we might be able to stop this person or persons

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Our scans are having trouble penetrating their hull. I can read several human life signs but I can't get anything more specific than that. It would be helpful if their shields weren't in the way, sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: You speak the truth, Tactical, why are we not penetrating their shields? Surely our entire phaser array possesses enough fire-power?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood! Message sent 

TO_Oran says:
XO/CSO: They're pretty wily, sir. ::is slightly annoyed::

TO_Oran says:
XO: I'm a marksman, not a magician!

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::In engineering, working on bringing more power to the shield, simultaneously directing repair teams to fix secondary systems::

TO_Oran says:
XO: We're also out of weapons range... just in case you wanted to know.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
TO: I'll see if I can pick up a weakness in their shields. ::scans for such a weakness::

ACTION: The battle continues. Enemy vessel shields are low but so are the Scimitars. It is a battle of attrition.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: that can be changed rather quickly if you want.. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Why are we out of weapons range, Ensign? Please coordinate with tactical

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood. :: taps a few buttons to get the ship moving in the right direction for weapons range :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: Bridge to Engineering, we need more power to shields and weapons, NOW!

ACTION: Another volley hits the bridge and the lights go out.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: I'm working on it, Commander!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Can we use our time device, jump away from this time and perform repairs?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: looks around :: and then down at her console :: things flashing randomly :: 

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::manages to get the lights back on:: Aloud: Let there be light! Just quoting...er... God, there.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We should be able to, as long as we have enough power and the device isn't damaged.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::starts running a quick diagnostic on the device::

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: As long as we don't leave answers behind.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV: What do you mean, Commander?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::rubs his head, all the time travelling is giving him a headache::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Do you want to travel forwards or backwards, sir?

ACTION: Shields go down on the Scimitar almost at the same time as the enemy vessel.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
ALL: Not to sound alarmist.. but SHIELDS DOWN!

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
XO: Well, we'd have to come back and find out why they attacked us, wouldn't we?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
TO: Can we beam anyone out? Like, now!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV: Yes, of course, Commander. We need to repair our vessel, then jump back to this time and space

FCO Ens. Uax says:
ALL: If that other ship has any sense and has scanned us they know our shields are down and will fire at any moment.. SO a quick exit might be prudent..

TO_Oran says:
Self: Oops...

TO_Oran says:
XO: Shields are not coming back online any time soon...

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::scans the enemy ship again with the shields down::  XO: Sir, I know who's after the admiral... it's the mirror Shinra.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Grab her now and then let's jump away from this time

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Starts diverting non-essential systems power to shields::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::attempts to transport the mirror Shinra onto the ship before activating the device back to when the they first jumped in to this period::

ACTION: Transport successful and the Scimitar time travels. Perfectly without a hitch. No sweat at all. Easy peasy.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Did you put her in the brig?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. I thought that would be the best place.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the Admiral:: Shinra: Well, that was.. 'fun'

Admiral Shinra says:
XO: Well I am glad one of us enjoyed it.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Get down there and see why she wanted the Admiral so badly. Helm, take us to a safe spot

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*Engineering*: Bridge to Engineering, we have jumped back in time, please investigate whether there has been any damage to our systems

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Understood. 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::hands his post over to a junior SO before heading to the turbolift::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Ensign, do you possess any telepathic or empathetic abilities?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::enters the Turbolift:: Turbolift: Brig.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander. Running scans now.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Very limited empathic. Uax wasn't ever very strong at it.. 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Hmm, regardless, I am sure Uax has had more experience with the mirror universe than anyone else on the bridge - join the CSO in the brig

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: taps a few buttons to move the ship to directly under the starbases reactor core :: ALL: There, that should hide us.. 

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Sir, Starbase is asking what we're doing parking so close to their reactor?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: You're probably right.. I've only been joined with her for a couple years and still haven't gotten the full scope of the knowledge Uax holds :: Gets up and heads for the brig :: 

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Tell them it is keeping us warm in the recesses of space

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::Exits the TL and enters the brig.:: Mirror_Shinra: Welcome to the Scimitar. I hope your accommodation is to your liking.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::shrugs and sends a response to satisfy the starbase::

SEC Drek says:
CSO: Sorry Sir, it's too late.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::looks into the holding cell and is disappointed to see that the mirror Shinra is dead:: Sec: She didn't kill herself before hearing my witty remark did she?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: walks in just behind the CSO and looks in :: *XO* The mirror Shinra is dead..

SEC Drek says:
::nods:: CSO: Sorry Sir. But was very witty. I'm sure she would have appreciated it. Very very witty.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CSO*: Don't tell me you tried to be funny, Lieutenant, you know that your humour is toxic

CSO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: It appears that she killed herself upon being captured... unfortunately before I was funny.

SEC Drek says:
CSO: Perhaps if we travel back in time 5 minutes you can try again, Sir? Maybe even come up with something even better!

CSO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Don't worry though sir, the security officer down here assures me that I was very witty regardless.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::tightens his fist:: *FCO/CSO*: Perfect, just... per-fect.... scan every inch of her, see what we can find

CSO Lt. Powers says:
SEC: Perhaps, although I doubt that there is anything better.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
*XO* Understood :: grabs a medical tricorder and looks to the SEC:: SEC: Lower the forcefield.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
FCO: Let me do that. I was the CMO here.

SEC Drek says:
CSO: Maybe a pun?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CSO: Up to you :: grabs a phaser rifle just to be on the safe side :: 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::takes the tricorder and runs the scans on the mirror Shinra::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CEO*: And the results of your scans, Ensign are? It's been a good few minutes

CSO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: The scans show that she took poison, sir.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
*XO*: Sorry Commander. Everything seems to be working as it did before. Which is to say, the secondary systems are still not fully repaired.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::slumps down in his chair:: CIV: Don't suppose you have any good, unaltered, unrigged to explode coffee?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CSO*: How, Lieutenant? We need to prevent her taking it

CSO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: It was ingested, sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*CSO*: Ok... ::sighs::
