Last time on the Scimitar...

Once the medical team had proved that the 'future' Scimitar crewmembers were who they said they were, the crew began to rig the time device into the Science console.

They succeeded in doing so but, as they waited for the appearance of mirror universe Shinra, they saw pieces of a starship appearing in the area. The pieces of the starship belonged to the Scimitar itself!

After beaming them across to the ship, they managed to capture the mirror universe Shinra, beaming her to a cell filled with knock-out gas, before jumping 4 hours into the past.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::on the Bridge, tapping his console::

CO Capt Rome says:
::storms out of his Ready room and onto the Bridge:: XO: Ren, report.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::on the bridge, looking through the results of his scans on the debris::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks up from his padd at the entering CO, as usual angry::

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
::On the bridge, monitoring the alien device::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::looks up, stiffening at the CO's tone:: CO: Sir, we have jumped 4 hours into the past because we were losing parts of our ship for no explained reason ::glances at the CTO:: CO: I believe we have captured the mirror universe Shinra too.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at the CSO for confirmation::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks at the XO wondering if he'll tell the CO what to expect health-wise::

CSO Lt Powers says:
::nods to the CO:: CO: I'm running scans on the parts we managed to save to see if I can work out what happened, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO: First off, if you can handle not killing her this time... yes, I read the report, get down there and interrogate her.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CEO: Have your guys been able to get a look at the parts we beamed aboard?

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::shifts in his chair, matching the CO's gaze:: CO: I did not kill her, sir. The overzealous tactical officer who is no longer with us did, I was where I should have been, on the bridge in command.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::gives a glance to the CSO as he hears the XO::

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: And you, Idrani. What happened to your face? Wait no, I don't want to know. I'm giving you a field commission, welcome aboard Mr. Specialist.

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
CSO: We have confimed that the parts are from the future Scimitar. I will personally take a look, though.

CO Capt Rome says:
::hides a grin:: XO: Take charge of the interrogation. You know her, you know what's been happening. Go.

CO Capt Rome says:
CEO: Engineer Peake, status of our hull integrity?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CEO: Good, I'll let the captain know.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::rubs his chin, naively proud of his looks despite the damage:: CO: Thank you.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Sir. ::nods and rises from his chair:: Do you want me to take anyone with me... given last time I was left alone with her... ::rubs his jaw instinctively::

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
::Gets up and takes the turbolift down to the cargo bay::

CO Capt Rome says:
XO: I expect you to handle a single woman, with a forcefield between you... if you're scared, you can always take a security force with you?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sir, engineering has managed to confirm that the ship's parts in the cargo bay came from the future. I also have news about the time device, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
::shouts:: CEO: Get my ship back in working order, Ensign!

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::grits his jaw:: CO: Sir. ::turns on his heel and proceeds to the Turbolift:: Computer: Brig.

CO Capt Rome says:
Self: Everyone's in such a hurry...

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Speak.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I managed to scan the mirror ship before we jumped back in time and I think I can match the frequency to use the device to jump into the mirror universe, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Specialist Idrani, coordinate with Engineering to have them transport the core back in place. Please oversee the procedure.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::exits the turbolift and walks to the Brig, his jaw clenching and relaxing:: Self: Perhaps one day he'll understand...

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::stands:: CO: Yes Sir. ::realises the CO is in 'professional' mode (or as close as he can get) and holds back a joke::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Also, the parts from the ship which we lost sabotaged us but were not enough to destroy us. I think whoever did it had a very good understanding of the ship and only wanted to put us out of action.

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
::Arives at the cargobay and steps out and heads toward the pieces of the Scimitar::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::approaches the cell:: TO: Has she been scanned for any suicide pills or devices?

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Who would do that? From what they've told us, these “Rheeshans” want us dead.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I don't know, sir. It would have to be someone who knows how Federation ships are put together. Someone from starfleet would be my guess.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::leaves the bridge to attend to the warp core::

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
::Walks toward a console and runs scans on the pieces::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up some strange readings. The missing pieces seem to be slowly... err... fading back into their proper place. I can't explain it.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: The admiral perhaps.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Excuse me?

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
*CO*: Uh, sir? The pieces of the ship appear to be.... fading!

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sensors show that they are fading from the cargo bay and returning to their rightful places.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Then inform Idrani to get me a coffee instead.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Perhaps capturing Shinra has stopped her from transporting the pieces back through time in the first place. All this time travel stuff is starting to hurt my head.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: Ms. Shinra, can you hear me alright in there?

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Hurting YOUR head? ::sits down in his chair::

Shinra says:
XO: So..... we meet again.

CO Capt Rome says:
::opens the comm:: *CEO*: Then report to Engineering, make sure everything goes back properly! I want this ship back up to specs! We just left drydock for heaven's sake.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. *CIV*: Sir, the pieces of the ship seem to be returning on their own. Captain Rome would like you to fetch him a coffee on your way back to the bridge. I assume he intends for that to be part of your role as ship specialist... sir.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::smiles thinly:: Shinra: Yes. I don't suppose you have had a change of heart and actually want to help us now?

CO Capt Rome says:
::grins at Powers:: CSO: He'll love that.

Shinra says:
XO: That would be the easiest interrogation in history.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: It would be, but it would also save us both a great deal of time and sanity.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
*CSO*: Very well. One coffee coming right up.

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
*CO*: Maybe you don't understand, sir, but I can't put the ship back together if there is nothing to put it back together with.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I thought it might be pushing him a bit too far if I ordered one for myself as well.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Nah, go ahead.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::laughs:: *CIV*: You'd better make that two, sir. Cream in mine.

CO Capt Rome says:
*CEO*: Perhaps you don't understand, ENSIGN, oversee the 'reversal'. Make sure the ship works properly after it magically fixes itself.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I think I'm going to like having a specialist onboard.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: It's very convenient, isn't it?

Shinra says:
XO: I find your lack of faith disturbing.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I used to have nurses to do that sort of thing for me before I came up here. Makes me feel more at home.

CEO_Ens_Peake says:
::Sighs:: *CO*: Yes, sir. ::Walks up to the pieces of the ship and kneels down to closely examine the part and loses balance and falls onto the pieces::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::enters the bridge, a cup in each hand::

ACTION: The pieces finally move completely back into place, the future pieces in the cargo bay disappearing along with the CEO on top of it.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: I lost whatever faith I had in the Prophets the day I watched my family killed in front of me. Why do you want to destroy this universe, what do you have to gain from doing so? This is not your home, the mirror universe is.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::hands a cup to the CSO with an emotionless face::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CIV: Thank you. ::takes the cup and scans it with a tricorder before drinking any::

Shinra says:
XO: Your family live, ::waves a dismissive gesture:: for now.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sir, sensors show that the pieces are back in their original places. There is one problem, though... Ens. Peake doesn't appear to be on the ship anymore.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::walks to the CO and hands him a cup::

CO Capt Rome says:
::grabs the cup and stands up sharply:: CSO: My god. Scan for his commbadge.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::runs a sensor sweep to try to locate the CEO::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: In your universe and mine, save a few members... but this is bigger than my family. I know that blackmailing you does not work so I will continue to ask nicely, why this universe? Why this place? Why this time period?

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Idrani with a worried look on his face::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::looks at the COs worried face:: CO: The coffee is clean, I promise.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: I'm not worried about the damned coffee, Idrani!

 Shinra says:
XO: You don't understand, do you? What's his name...Jinrak?

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: I know the name. But what does that name mean to you? ::keeps his face neutral, as much as he wants to show the frustration::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Mr. Powers!?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sir, I can't find him. It's as if he has faded out of existence.

CO Capt Rome says:
::puts his hand to his forehead::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Scan outside the ship, scan the repaired hull. Scan the warp core.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Find him.

TO Ens Jones says:
::Walks onto the bridge:: CO: Ensign Jones, reporting. ::Sits at the tactical station::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::turns to the CSO, then the CO, silently::

Shinra says:
XO: Yes, and the other one, Kenji, they all live.

CO Capt Rome says:
::places the coffee on his armrest, then walks towards the viewscreen and just stares at it::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::widens the area of his sensor sweep as well as directing focussed scans on the cargo bay and the repaired parts of the ship::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Well if you're not going to drink it. ::takes the coffee and starts drinking it:: Is it possible he has travelled time or is in the mirror universe?

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::swallows and does his best to keep a straight face:: Shinra: As I said, this is more than just my family. Why destroy this universe's federation because of some personal vendetta against my fa- Against Jinrak and Kenji?

ACTION: CSO knocks his coffee over his console.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Time travel without a capsule? Has that ever been done, is it possible....would he survive?

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::stands and walks next to the CO:: CO: Well those pieces had to come from somewhere, right?

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: But they reappared in their right places on the Scimitar.

CSO Lt Powers says:
Aloud: Oh, bother. ::takes a step back to avoid the boiling liquid before frantically trying to clean it up::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Mr. Powers, clean that up later. Find my crewman!

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::wipes the worst of the mess away and dries the console as best he can before returning to the scans::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I'd say most likely they returned to where they came from, taking the CEO with them.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Oh god, you're right...

CO Capt Rome says:
::takes the coffee cup from him and takes a large sip::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Can you extrapolate where those fragments came from with certainty?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Sir, I did manage to scan the future pieces while they were in the bridge. I might be able to determine where they came from and we could use the device to follow them back.

Shinra says:
XO: You misunderstand. So handsome yet so small minded. ::sighs and sits back on her bed::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Do the math.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::works on transferring the data from the earlier scans into workable coordinates for the time devce::

CO Capt Rome says:
Idrani: Thalev.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: So enlighten me, wise one. Show this time weary half-Bajoran how silly he is because we can keep repeating this trick over.... and over... and over again.

CO Capt Rome says:
::touches his beard awkwardly::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Jonathan.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Welcome aboard. It's....good to see you.

Shinra says:
::sits up with a chuckle:: XO: Ooh! Didn't expect the sarcasm so soon.

CO Capt Rome says:
::adjusts his jacket before turning away from the viewscreen and taking his seat::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Glad to be here, old friend. It probably breaks every rule in the book but we need to chat later.

CO Capt Rome says:
::sits down and holds his hands up:: CIV: I can't know too much about the future, you know the rules.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::grits his teeth, thinking:: Self: You little dog, you and your silly games, just give me answers... ::keeps a straight face:: Shinra: Well it seems it is the only thing that gets your attention - violence didn't seem to work and last time I used a truth serum on you it had severe adverse effects on you.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: To hell with the rules. It was either you or Ethan that taught me that.

CO Capt Rome says:
::manages a smile::

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Sounds like Ethan to me.

Shinra says:
::sighs:: XO: Ask your questions. Make them specific. I don't have all day to guess what you mean.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: You know that bottle of Andorian Brandy I gave you? Well, we drank that together once. It's a good bottle, and it deserves to be drunk again once this is over.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I have programmed the device with the destination, or time I should say, that the future debris came from. We can jump to there whenever you are ready, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Alright. When this is over, we drink and we talk. Deal?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I should warn you that it is in the mirror universe, sir.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Deal.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: Six months from now, a race known only as the Rishans will appear and destroy Andoria, one of many worlds. The attack comes out of nowhere and seems unprovoked. I have reason to believe you are involved, so why are you involved?

CO Capt Rome says:
::almost spits out the sip of coffee he just had::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: One does not simply walk into that place, Mr. Powers.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Trust me, I lived there once.

Shinra says:
XO: The Rishans aren't that much a threat as you think. They have one mothership and that's it. One device.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I understand, sir. If we want answers and our CEO back, I think we're going to have to go there, sir.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO/CSO: We don't know what to expect. As far as we understand, the timeline has changed there too.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Where exactly, would we arrive? Show me the location on the galactic map.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: With the ability to jump in and out of time whenever they want. We want to prevent them from ever attacking, and you seem to hold the key to this whole thing. We can stop the Rishans but unless we stop the catalyst it will keep happening again and again.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::brings up a display on the viewscreen and adds a “You Are Here sign” to make it easier for the CO to read::

Shinra says:
XO: This is just a game. They jump in, cause some havoc and play a game before heading back.

CO Capt Rome says:
::chuckles at the joke as he stares at the map, trying to remember the alliance line from his last visit::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: If you are lost, just remember the black bit is space.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: And if we don't want to be part of their 'game'? Do we throw them another ball to play with?

CO Capt Rome says:
::smiles at Idrani::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: We should be alright at this location, when we arrive. Set a course for that nebula. ::points at it on the screen:: In case we need to hide. We don't want the other side to seize this ship.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO/CIV: So... we're doing this?

Shinra says:
::sighs again:: XO: There are four devices. You already have one. I have one. The Rishans have the third. The fourth, no one knows.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I can't see any other option, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
TO: Ensign, yellow alert.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: Four? ::shows surprise for a moment:: So if we find this fourth device we might be able to stop the event from occuring?

TO_Ens_Jones says:
::Activates yellow alert::

CO Capt Rome says:
TO: Prepare your department.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Then do it.

Shinra says:
XO: I have to spell it out for you, don't I? You don't need the fourth device. You need the Rishans device.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::activates the device and holds onto his (now sticky) console incase it's a bumpy ride::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::glances up as the lights change to amber:: Self: And now? ::looks at Shinra:: Shinra: You have seen their ship? Do you suggest we just go ask them for it?

TO_Ens_Jones says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Sends a report to Tactical::

Shinra says:
XO: Well, you can be anywhere you want at any moment in time. It's not easy, but it's possible. And I'll give you my device freely.

Shinra says:
XO: On the condition you let me go.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::sends the coordinates for the nebula to flight control and runs long range sensors::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
Shinra: You would... ::folds arms:: Let you go where? Without your device you would be stuck here in this universe.

Shinra says:
XO: Where I go is my business. That's the deal.

ACTION: The Scimitar leaps into action upon activation of the device. Moments later they are in the mirror universe. Ahead of them, the Rishan mothership.
