Last time on the Scimitar...

The XO, OPS, CNS, CMO, and CIV travelled six months back in time in a shuttle outfitted with the time device, to rendezvous with the Scimitar there. Upon arrival, they were treated suspiciously but allowed to dock.

The security guards confiscated the time device and, after a mini-chewing out session from the CO, they all went to the Observation Lounge so the XO can convince the six month younger crew that they are indeed from the future. 

<<<<<<<Resume Mission – There is No Dark Side of the Moon, Part 6 >>>>>>>

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
:: in the briefing room, sitting down as he waits for the medical team to tell the rest of the crew that they are who they say they are ::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::sitting in the briefing room, listening to the rest:: XO: It is a good thing we still have six months.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::on the bridge waiting for the results from the medical tests and the scans on the time device::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::nods:: OPS: Agreed... although it feels like six months just trying to convince this crew

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: Let us hope not. We still have to make our way to the mirror universe ... if that is still your plan sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: One of a few - either we can try get to the mirror universe and help my father... ::pauses:: Yes... that might be the best idea

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods:: XO: In my analysis, it is still our only lead. Your father knows something of what is going on.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: The other idea was to try 'transport' a half completed Rishan ship to the exact point that it is meant to appear in the normal timeline, since the time travelling object replaces the original, the Rishan ship would be vulnerable to attack

Dr Karl says:
CSO: Sir, I have the results from the medical scans. Their dna does match what we have on file for them and the neural scans do display some temporal anomalies.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: That would involve capturing an alien ship the size of a moon, even if it is half finished, that is quite a task. ::looks at the XO and blinks one while looking at him. wondering how much thought he put into this plan::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Dr_Karl: Temporal anomalies?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: To me, it sounds as possible as trying to get to the mirror universe accurately. We have to keep as many options open as we can

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods:: XO: Yes Commander.

Dr Karl says:
CSO: Indeed. We picked up residual chroniton radiation amongst other things which would be best explained by time travel. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's what we've come up with.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::remembers something:: XO: Do we know where to find the Rishans?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
Dr_Karl: Thank you, doctor. I suppose I had best let them out, then. Make sure Capt. Rome gets a copy of everything you've found.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::shakes his head, wishing this was all some bad dream::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: We know where they appear when attacking Andoria and that is it

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::Heads to the briefing room as Dr Karl wanders off to find the captain... heading for the lounge first::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: We don't know who they are, where they came from ... or even what they gain by destroying the Federation planets. It is almost as if they are out on a quest. Did we do something to them? Is this revenge?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: There seems to be many factors to consider, Lieutenant. Perhaps something that Admiral Shinra said to them... or even mirror universe version of Shinra... Perhaps the mirror universe Shinra insulted their leaders in this universe

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::enters the briefing room:: XO: Sir, it seems you have passed your test. I must admit that I'm not entirely convinced but I can't argue with the tests.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::looks ahead, staring at nothing in particular, pondering the XO's words::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
:looks across at the CSO:: CSO: That is a good start, hopefully with time we can build that trust back up, Lieutenant

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::looks up as she listens to the conversation between the CSO and the XO:: CSO/XO: So we can get started.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Both: Our first step would be to integrate the time device with the Scimitar's systems... ::looks at the CSO::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Will it work on a ship this size? I assumed that you were having to use the shuttle to use it.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
CSO: There is cable inlet in the device. You can connect it to any console and use the computer to control it. You can set temporal and universe coordinates in the way it is set up now.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::nods:: CSO: Yes, we used a shuttle because we only wanted to take a select few on the trip back... some were not designed for so many journeys

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::raises an eyebrow at the XO's statement:: XO: Should I be asking why, sir? I'm not dead in your time am I?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: No ::smiles:: You were promoted and served as Acting XO when Captain Rome fell unwell. You were and still are a great officer

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: Security informed me that you seemed to be the expert on the device, so you'll have to help me hook it up.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::smiles briefly:: CSO: I learned it all from you.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I like the sound of that. Flattery will get you a long way with me. I suggest we get to work, sir.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: I like the sound of that, too.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
CSO: First, I suggest we keep it on the bridge. If by any chance the device leaves the ship, then all the changes it created will be gone. That means Andoria has no chance.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: It might be a good idea to hook it to your console then, so that you can monitor the power drain and make changes where needed.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods as she walks to the bridge:: CSO: Power usage is minimal. As long as our warp core is running, the device will have no problem operating. Other than that ::looks at the XO:: XO: we just need to decide where and when to go.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Both: I suggest that we get a move on, Admiral Shinra is due to leave in a shuttle and, when she does so, her mirror self will appear to try kill her

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. As you know what is about to happen, I'm happy to hand the bridge over to you.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods at the XO and enters the bridge::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Music to my ears, Lieutenant. ::enters the Bridge:: Computer: Computer, note time and date, Commander Ren Ro'kar assuming control of the bridge

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::follows OPS and the XO onto the bridge:: OPS: I'd like to get it hooked up and run 
some simulations before we have to use it for real.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods:: CSO: Then I suggest we hook it up to your console. ::walks to the CSO's console and opens a panel::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS/CSO: Get the device set up ::makes eye contact with Tactical:: Tactical: Set up the sensors to capture as much data as they can within a five minute window, on my command, we need to intercept mirror Admiral Shinra

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::watches and takes notes as OPS hooks up the device::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::carefully pulls up a few cables and closes the panel again. Then she picks up the device and hooks it up::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::walks down to the centre area, logging on:: All: Hurry up, we don't have much time. The Admiral's shuttle will appear here, the mirror universe Shinra will appear here ::inputs the values into the system::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::once that is done, she taps the console to set up an interface. Then she looks up:: CSO: The device is now set more or less as you had it originally in the future scimitar.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: Ok, So I just use this interface and designate the coordinates here? ::points to the relevant parts of the device::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: Do we capture her?

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::nods:: CSO: Yes, and you use your console to modulate the Universe coordinate.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: Alright, I think I've got it.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We're ready here, sir.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Enters the Bridge:: XO: Ensign Peake, reporting for duty, sir. ::Sits at his station and set's up monitoring on the device::

ACTION: The shuttle approaches the coordinates.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Yes. Get the readouts and then capture her.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Tactical: Fill a brig cell full with knock-out gas, as soon as you have a lock on Shinra, beam her there

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: With the tractor beam or shall I try to transport her?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Transport

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::scans the area around looking for this shuttle and trying to get a lock on Shinra::

ACTION: The shuttle passes through the coordinates and continues as normal.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::runs scans of the area and records all data that the sensors pick up::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Self: Strange, something should have happened...

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Was there any change in the readings, Lieutenant?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: No, sir. Nothing out of the ordinary so far.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Wait, mirror Shinra has not appeared... ::wonders if he had the timing wrong::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::wonders whether he was right to trust the XO::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::continues scanning the area::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::drums his fingers on the arm rest, shifting his weight::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
All: Something we did must have changed something else further back in time

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Still not picking anything up on sensors, sir.

ACTION: A piece of metal appears. Sensors indicate it has time travelled. The ship jolts to the side.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::grips the arm rest:: CSO: What was that?

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::grabs her console instinctively as she ship is hit::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir! I'm picking up something... it appears to be a piece of metal. Sensors indicate high levels of chroniton radiation.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CEO: Peake? Can you confirm where that is from? What ship? Or vessel

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
Self: Another traveller?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
XO: Sir, I'm getting a report from engineering that a piece of the hull disappeared!

SCENE: On the view screen, the metal twists over with the Scimitar Insignia on it.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::stares at the view screen::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
XO: And that would be it.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::jaw drops:: Self: How...

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Aloud: Anyone care to explain this to me?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: That can't be good.

ACTION: Another object appears, this time it is a large piece of the deflector dish. When it appears, the Scimitar's piece disappears.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::gulps:: XO: Someone is transporting the Scimitar to these coordinates ... broken piece by broken piece.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: You are in charge of the transporters, Lieutenant, you tell me?!

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CEO: Peake, what is going on here?

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::blinks:: XO: No sir, they are transporting it from the future. It is the only logical explanation. We have to leave

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, that piece is a large chunk of our deflector dish. We've lost the use of some sensors.

ACTION: Another object appears. It is the warp core, which vanishes from the Scimitar. Systems start exploding from the sudden change.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::grits his teeth, closing his eyes for a moment and sighs:: CSO: Prepare the time device

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::feeling a need to state the obvious:: All: we just lost the warp core.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Under his breath:: Self: My god...

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Time jump, four hours in the past, on my mark

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::gets a lock on the stray objects:: XO: With your permissions, I will beam our pieces to the cargo bay.

ACTION: Next, the mirror ship appears heading for Shinras shuttle.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Do it

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::inputs the data for a jump back in time four hours::

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
::beams the pieces of the scimitar to the cargo holds ... wherever they fit. ::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: There! Did you see the shuttle appear?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. I have what sensors we have left tracking it.

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: They are all aboard sir

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Do we have the readings from how the shuttle got here?

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: I can still get a lock on the mirror Shinra.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Beam her over to the prepared cell

OPS Lt.JG. Saprin says:
XO: Aye ::acquires a lock on the mirror Shinra and beams her to the brig::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Jump!

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::activates the device::

ACTION: Transport Complete. The Scimitar Jumps.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I have the sensor readings you asked for as well.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::rubs his temple:: OPS: Is Shinra secured in the brig?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::looks around, stunned at what little fuss there was::
