Last time on the Scimitar... 
As the crew discuss how to proceed, the Scimitar receives a message from the mirror universe from Jinrak Ro'kar. This creates even more questions, but there isn't much time to think about it before the Rishans appear, destroying Andor in an instant. The crew now have to escape the shock wave.

<<<<<<<< Resume Mission #516, - There is No Dark Side of the Moon - Part 4>>>>>>>>>>

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::on the Bridge:: CTO: Reinforce the shields. Everyone, brace for impact!

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::at her station, monitoring the progress on the changes to the time-device. She glances up for a moment at the destroied planet, knowing the shockwave must be on its way::

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::braces himself for the impact::

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
ACO: Yes, sir :: Franticly working at the Tactical Station::

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::grabs her console, for the first time wishing they had seat belts on all chairs::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::arrives on the Bridge:: ACO: What the devil is going on up here?! 

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Incoming shockwave, brace yourself for impact, Doctor.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CMO: Make sure that your department is ready for casualties.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::wraps her arms around a pylon and sneers at the AXO:: AXO: Don't you think I know that, Powers?!

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: Get all the spare power you can to the shields.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
AXO: Aye sir ::diverts all energy from nonessential systems to shields::

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
AXO: Is the time device ready?

ACTION: The shockwave fast approaches.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
AXO: I came up here to make sure I declare you dead for good! 

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CMO: Not today. ACO: We can jump through time, sir.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Doctor, if you have nothing constructive to say, then I would recommend you keep your mouth shut ::turns to the AXO:: AXO: Then let's jump.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::looks from the ACO to the AXO, thinking to herself "to when? And in which universe?"::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: Oh, no you don't! If you jump both Uax and Rome are DEAD!

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: Activate the time device. A few hours backwards should do for now.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CMO: If we don't, there's a good chance we'll all be dead.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
AXO: Yes sir. programming the device to jump to 8 hours ago ....

  CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
AXO: Seventh time's a charm.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
All: Now ::activates the time device::

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::jaw tightens:: CMO: Ensign Jeq, I will caution you one last time. Either help your colleagues or return to your station

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: You're going to kill them!!

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: I'm giving you my expert opinion. Why won't you take it?!

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: It's on YOUR head if you kill them. I will go on record to say that I didn't recommend it!

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Then, by the almighty Prophets give a better suggestion, Doctor! ::snarls:: We stay here, there is a good chance we will all die. If we jump, at least only two are at risk

ACTION: As the shock wave hits the Scimitar, consoles begin to spark and some people fly around. The time device activates and the Scimitar travels in a flash.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::her console shifts in and out of her eyesight as she grabs onto it, not to fall. Then all is quiet.::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: You couldn't have just warped away? Where were the engines? What was your damned pilot doing? 

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CMO: I'm sorry doctor, but we have to think about what's best for the whole crew. I suggest you do all you can to prevent the deaths of Capt. Rome and Ens. Uax.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::looks up at the view screen and then back at her console, figuring out what is working:::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
AXO: There were a few other options than just letting the girl turn on the time device, Powers. The quick-and-dirty way gets people killed.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CTO: Ensign Peake, scan the surrounding area. ::turns to OPS:: OPS: Damage report, Lieutenant Saprin

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
::Blinks a few times and clears his head:: ACO: On it, sir.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::stalks off the Bridge:: ACO/AXO: Don't come crawling to me when this all turns out horribly wrong for everyone involved. 

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::raises from his chair:: CMO: Doctor Jeq!

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::fights with her console for information:: ACO: We suffered massive damage....warp is offline... decks 5 through 10 have no power...other sections also report power loss

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
ACO: Sensors appear to be down, sir...

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: By your leave, Captain... I have more pressing duties to attend to.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
TL: Sickbay!

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Denied, Doctor.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: Reports of causalities, 10 confirmed, 37 injured ... and these are just preliminary numbers

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::raises her eyebrows at the young upstart:: ACO: Yes?
 
ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: You do not have my permission to leave. You were and remain out of line.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::moves towards the ACO and speaks quietly to him:: ACO: Sir, the wellbeing of Dr. Jeq's patients is of paramount concern. I will speak to her later about her behaviour on the bridge but I suggest you let her get on with her work, sir.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: What is the status of the time device?

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::tightens his jaw:: AXO: No, Lieutenant. You have the bridge. ::looks back at CMO::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::folds her arms across her chest and stares him down with a look of disdain::

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: You do not storm onto the bridge, demand answers from an occupied bridge crew and then question your superior officer's orders in front of the rest of the crew. If you have an issue, you raise it in private

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::as sensors are unreliable, she contacts the science lab to check on the time device:: AXO: The device was not damaged and we were able to make the necessary modifications for the mirror jump, just before the shockwave. However, it is not clear we have enough power to activate it now.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: You are quite green, Commander. Are you really going to try to embarrass and chastise me in front of the bridge crew in a moment like this? 

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: Coordinate with engineering to get the repairs and power you need. CTO: Are our weapons systems and shields still active?

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::glances up at the CMO at that last remark. "Did she really say that?"::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: I gave you my opinion of the matter: make the jump and their conditions will worsen.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: You decided against it. May I go?

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: I don't care if you are a friend of Captain Rome. It is not my concern that you have some former relation with Lieutenant Commander Powers. Your former lives may help you in your current duties, but they do not excuse your condescending and rude behaviour

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
AXO: Aye sir ::has the whole OPS department work with engineering in getting more power::

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::really hopes that Ro'kar will drag the CMO into his office rather than having it out on the bridge. For some reason, the name Phil Brown jumps into his mind::

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
AXO: Shields are low... weapons are online but we're running on low power.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: My apologies. I could not stand idly by without saying anything. 

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Those are words I understand, Doctor, but there is a right and a wrong way to express those concerns

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
All : Engineering expects it will be a few hours before we get power back. I will try to make sure it is less than 8 ...

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: I'm sure they know the time constraints but it wouldn't hurt to prod them every now and again.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::nods at the AXO, then glances at the CMO:: AXO: We will have to work together to live through this.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
CMO: Another outburst like that again and I will see to it that your permissions aboard this starship are revoked. Understood?

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::looks back at her console, looking where she can borrow some power:: CTO: At least we know what will happen. we should not need shields and weapons in the upcoming hours.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
CTO: Make getting the sensors back online your priority. We need to be able to see what is around us.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::nods at OPS::

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
::Gets working on the sensors::

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: If the time travel happened in the same way as before, we should be very close to Andoria. We can ask them for help. ::understands the irony of the suggestion::

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: Understood. But if I may leave you with one last thought: I don't believe that you should use that time device any more. The longer it stays on this ship the more danger we all are in. Not just Rome and Uax, but everyone. ::closes the turbolift doors:: 

 ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::mutters:: Self: I know...

 ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: We could, but what help could we provide them? Tell them to bolster their forces? There is not much more we can do for them in eight hours

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: I know sir. I mean ... we could ask them to help us restore our power ....

ACTION: Sickbay is soon full of casualties.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: Yes, that too ::swallows hard:: Can you see if you can raise them on the conn?

CTO_Ens_Peake says:
AXO: I managed to get short range sensors back online. Running sensor scans, now.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
All: The first reports from engineering are coming. It will take about 8 hours to bring full power back and a few hours longer to get warp and impulse.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::stalks into Sickbay like a firestorm:: MO: ORAN! 

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::nods and attempts to open a channel to the Andorian authorities::

Andor Control says:
 COM: Scimitar: Yes, Scimitar? ::audio only, crackly with the ship damage::

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
::puts the message through:: ACO: On speakers.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
COMM: Andor: Andor Control, we have suffered ship damage from a... ::pauses:: We have suffered ship damage which has resulted in a loss of power, could you dispatch some engineers to help repair our vessel?

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
OPS: How long until we have enough power to jump again?

MO_Oran says:
     CMO: Doctor, what's been going on up there? 

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
*CMO*: Dr, Jeq, I know you're busy down there, but we need a casualty report.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
AXO: checking ... Engineering won't be able to give us enough before the 8 hours of repairs are done.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::slaps her chest angrily:: *AXO*: You're right, I AM busy. ::scathing tone:: People are dead. I'll forward you and your precious Cmdr. Rokar the details once I have them. 

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
MO: Not now, Oran! Just get Uax to a stabilizer!

Andor Control says:
COM: Scimitar: We will dispatch aid immediately.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::Suppresses the urge to snap back at the CMO:: *CMO*: Just send us the report when you have the figures and a list of any supplies you need... without the additional comments.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
COMM: Andor: Thank you, Scimitar out.

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
*AXO*: Well, that's something I can't promise you, Powers. 

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: Sir, since time travel replaces the individuals and objects at the destination coordinates, a group of us could, in theory, go back in time and recover an intact version of the Scimitar.

MO_Oran says:
::whispers timidly:: CMO: Ma'am, it looks like there are at least 15 crewmembers dead...

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: That leaves us open to a lot of complications. We would need to pinpoint an exact time and place where we have the right people at the right time

CMO_Ens_Jeq says:
::nods to her:: *AXO*: My number two says there are 15 dead so far.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
::doesn't say that there would have been a lot more if they had listened to her:: *CMO*:Understood.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: We jump to the 'first' time the Rishan's attack, none of our new arrivals would be on the ship

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: Well, let us say you would travel alone sir, to 3 hours ago. You would disappear from the Scimitar at that time and be replaces by your current self on a ...say...shuttle. Then you would rendezvous with the scimitar, probably at the Starbase and the Scimitar would be intact

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: I agree that the exact point of the jump would have to be carefully calculated.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::looks thoughtful:: OPS: I see what you mean...

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
ACO: It sounds crazy but that could work, sir. We would be aware of the time device then so it wouldn't take a lot of explaining.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
ACO: Plus, Dr. Jeq would be a lot more pleasant to deal with back then.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
AXO/OPS: But what kind of time are we looking at to integrate the device with the shuttle? I remember we thought about it originally and discarded the idea

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO/AXO: We now know the device much better. I believe one hour would be enough.

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: Also, sir....since they were exposed to less jumps, the past Captain Rome and Uax should be healthier

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
ACO: We can't use the device on the Scimitar until the power is fixed so it can't hurt to try it. We can always put it back where it is if it doesn't work.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: So how many previous jumps would we be erasing?

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: It depends on how far back you choose to go.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
ACO: This plan could also save the lives of the 15 crewmembers that we have lost so far.

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
OPS: We would need to go back enough time to have the Scimitar repaired, but not so much that we don't lose yourself nor our new colleagues

OPS_LtJG_Saprin says:
ACO: Unless we go with you ...

ACO_Cmdr_Ro`kar says:
::smiles slightly:: OPS: I see.... start compiling a list of the people that need to be on the shuttle. ::looks at Powers:: AXO: Start making the necessary preparations

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
ACO: Aye, sir.

AXO_LtCmdr_Powers says:
SO_Bullard: Get a team together and hook the time device to one of the shuttles.
