<<<<<<<<<< Resume mission>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
@::sat at the front of the shuttle, looking at the Scimitar through the window:: CSO: There we are ::points:: she has a few battle scars, but she's still beautiful.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::turns his chair sideways to look at Julian:: Julian: Do you have any idea what could be out there?

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
@::Yawns and stretches his arms above his head.:: XO: She Looks great. I'm glad we're finnaly here. It's been a long voyage.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
@CSO: Fresh out the academy, aren't you? Couldn't be joining a finer ship.

Julian 
CO: Home

CO_Capt_Rome 
Julian: I understand the sentiment, but I was referring to the signal we are picking up under your vessel's hull

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
@:: Smiles.:: XO: I'm greener than the grass at home. I couldn't have hoped for a better posting.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
@CSO: Shame about the Captain, though. But, beggars can't be choosers. Only got promoted for nearly killing himself in Engineering one day. ::grins::

Julian 
CO: I have no clue as to that. It shouldn’t be there.

CO_Capt_Rome 
Julian: Well the readings should be analyzed soon enough. ::motions for the empty seat next to him:: Sit down, you'll wear out the carpet.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
@:: Doesn't really know how to respond to that.:: XO: I'm sure the Captain was an outstanding engineer sir.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
@CSO: I'm just kidding. I served alongside him for many years. The Captain is a fine man, one of the few I would die for, but don't let him know I told you that. He'd never let me live it down. ::smiles and taps the controls and hails the Scimitar::

CO_Capt_Rome 
::receives a report from OPS that a shuttlecraft is inbound with his new Chief Science officer onboard, which makes for great timing::

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
::Laughs at the Commander’s comment.::

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
@::gets docking clearance and pilots her in::

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::opens the shuttle door, now that it has docked, and gestures to the CSO:: CSO: Welcome to the USS Scimitar.

CO_Capt_Rome 
FCO: Inform the replacements on the shuttle to report for the Bridge, please.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: puts his head out of the shuttle first and looks around. :: XO: Thank you sir. I'm glad to be here. :: Exits the shuttle.::

CO_Capt_Rome 
CTO: Lieutenant, how is the analysis coming along?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::follows the CSO off the shuttle and towards the turbolift: Turbolift: Bridge!

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Enters the turbolift together with the Commander.::

FCO_Ens_Uax 
*XO*: What's your ETA to the bridge?

CTO_Raash 
::enters the bridge from the science lab just as the CO asks the question:: CO: Slow but steady, Captain.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::smiles:: CTO: Seems to be the case. Precision takes hard work it seems.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::as turbolift doors open at the bridge, he gestures for the CSO to enter first, as he sub consciously scratches one of his Borg implants::

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Enters the bridge of the USS Scimitar for the first time. ::

CTO_Raash 
CO: But precision prevents problems.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::looks up as a young male enters the bridge, doesn't recognise him but stands up:: CSO: You must be my new Chief Science officer, welcome to the Scimitar Ensign.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::winks at the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::steps out the Turbolift with a big grin::

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
CO: Ensign Lukas Sanders reporting for duty Sir.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::stares at Thalev:: XO: What the hell are you doing here?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
CO: I heard the place was falling apart.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Looks from the Captain towards the Commander and back.::

CO_Capt_Rome 
CSO: Yes, of course. Sorry Ensign. ::walks over to him and shakes his hand:: Please take your orders from the CTO for now, she might need your expertise. When we have more time, we should talk. ::smiles at the man::

CO_Capt_Rome 
XO: Damnit Thalev, I didn't receive any mention of this...visit. What are you doing here? Not that it's not a pleasure to see you again, old friend.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Takes the captains hand and shakes with vigour.:: CO: Thank you Sir. Where can I find our CTO?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::smiles:: CO: Oh.. this isn't a visit my old friend. ::gestures to the XOs RR:: I hope Ro'kar didn't leave a mess in there.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::motions for the woman standing by the console at his far left:: CSO: She will fill you in.

CTO_Raash 
::motions to the CSO::

CTO_Raash 
::looks back at her console, frowning deeply::

CTO_Raash 
CO: Captain, I'm now reading a graviton field on that ship.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Walks towards the CTO:: CTO: Can I be of assistance Lieutenant?

CO_Capt_Rome 
::just stares at Thalev:: XO: We will talk about this....later. Consider yourself on duty, commander. Until I get this straightened out with Command. ::grins::

CO_Capt_Rome 
::turns to face Raash:: CTO: Go on.

CTO_Raash 
CSO: If you'll log into the science station. ::motions to the console:: I'll send you copies of the tests I've been running. A second set of eyes would be great.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
CO: It's fine. I bought a bottle of Andorian Ale to numb the shock. ::walks over to the familiar XO chair and sits in it::

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
::arrives at the bridge, from the science labs. She goes to her station::

CO_Capt_Rome 
::doesn't know what to make of this sudden appearance, but decides to smile at his old friend and then returns his attention to Raash::

CTO_Raash 
::looks back to the Captain:: CO: I wish I could, Sir. I'm reading a graviton field, but when I try to pinpoint the source, I'm not finding it.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Walks to the console and quickly logs in.:: CTO: I'm ready to receive the data.

CTO_Raash 
CO: The sensors say it is and it isn't there.

CTO_Raash 
::transfers copies of all her tests and scans to the CSO::

CO_Capt_Rome 
CTO: Curiouser and curiouser..

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Starts looking over the scan and test results.:: CTO: Now this is interesting.

CTO_Raash 
::glances at the Captain half expecting him to be grinning like a Cheshire cat::

CO_Capt_Rome 
::looks over the Bridge of his ship and smiles, still in shock of having Thalev onboard as his XO it seems..and a new Tactical and Science officer as well, these are indeed the winds of change::

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
CSO: I launched a probe earlier to Julian's ship. You can direct it elsewhere if it is helpful.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::quietly:: CO: Don't look so flabbergasted, Jonathan. At least pretend you know what you're doing.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::lets out a laugh:: All: Please ignore the Andorian people, he's trying to be funny.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::grins and turns to catching up on the situation with the latest reports::

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
CTO: Well at the moment I can only confirm your scanning results. Is the ship at the same location where it entered our space?

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
::looks up from the CO to the apparent new-old XO and raises an eyebrow::

CO_Capt_Rome 
OPS: Lieutenant Saprin, please fill Mr. Idrani on what's been happening.

FCO_Ens_Sumner 
::glances back briefly at Thalev with a smile before turning back to her console, ready to get them out of there should the need arise::

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
CO: Yes sir.

CTO_Raash 
CSO: The hull fragment retrieved by the first probe is in the science lab. Scans and tests showed nothing dangerous for Julian's return journey to his own universe.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::stands and moves to OPS:: OPS: Good to see you again, Lieutenant.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
CTO: There might be residual radiation at the location where the ship entered our space. Do you have the exact coordinates?

Julian 
CTO: You said you were reading a graviton field?

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
::nods:: XO: I am looking forward to working with you again sir. As for our situation, we were sent to monitor an anomaly emitting large amounts of particles, most of which chronotons.

CO_Capt_Rome 
Julian: Yes, do you know what to make of that? ::moves closer to the railing at the top of the Bridge to speak to Julian::

CTO_Raash 
Julian: I'm reading the field but not the source of it. Could it be coming through a rift?

Julian 
CTO: How strong is the reading?

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
XO: When we approached, an object came out, with a single life form aboard. That was Julian, an ape-like life form. Similar in appearance to Earth apes, but sentient, able to communicate and in many ways with superior technology.

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
OPS: Well we are all apes... technically.

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
::points to Julian:: XO: Once we talked to him we realized he comes from an alternate universe. Similar yet with major differences from ours.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::hears Thalev's comment and tries to picture a blue ape::

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
XO: No we are not. For example my Betazoid ancestors evolved directly from amphibians.

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
XO: Shall I continue sir?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
OPS: Yes, forgive me. I was considering the hoo-mans. Do continue,

CTO_Raash 
Julian: It is faint but readable because of the probe.

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
::smiles ever so slightly:: XO: Indeed those are as primate as they come ... In any event, we realized something in our universe possibly emitting large amounts of chronotons interfered with Julian's space-folding technology. His drive overloaded and folded more than the normal dimensions of space and he ended up here. We are trying to understand what happened. Not many phenomena emits chronotons. Other than time travel, for which we have no evidence, only some cloaking devices such as the ones used by the Romulans emit chronotons.

CTO_Raash 
Julian: Our scans didn't show it.

Julian 
CTO: Can you locate on my ship where that signal is originating from?

CO_Capt_Rome 
XO: Thalev, fresh eyes and antennae could help. Any theories?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
OPS: To what end? To send him back?

CTO_Raash 
Julian: I'm unable to pinpoint it. I'm directing the probe for a closer pass.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
CTO: We could boost the probes power. We might get a better reading that way.

CO_Capt_Rome 
::glances at the CSO and smiles slightly, glad the newest member of the crew is taking an active part so soon::

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
XO: I don't think so. We believe the chronotons were emitted in our end. So, if anything, it was to bring him here. But we are not yet sure it wasn't something on his side either.

CTO_Raash 
CSO: Do it.

CSO_Ens_Sanders 
:: Increases the probes power with 50 percent.:: CTO: I increased the power with 50 percent. Let's see what that gives.

CO_Capt_Rome 
CSO: Ensign, is there any way we can use the deflector dish to emit some kind of a pulse that could, at least, give us a clue as to if there really is something cloaked out there? Perhaps a nadion inversion beam ?

XO_Cmdr_Idrani 
::thinks the CO is joking about his damaged, single remaining antenna but ignores it:: CO/OPS: Well, I'd like to see the sensor readings from the anomaly.

OPS_Lt_Saprin 
XO: I can send a summary of all the data to your screen.

CTO_Raash 
Julian: Probe is closer. It appear to be coming from the hull, right on the belly of your ship. The hull appears to be reinforced there.

CO_Capt_Rome 
OPS: Work with the Commander, see if you can come up with a theory.
