Last on the Seleya…

Liv Enam hooked Maor up to the array.  The energy combined with his altered DNA thanks to his resurrection of years before, creating a field to open up doorways into other universes.  Sumner with a team was sent by the captain to rescue Maor.  They battled fiercely with the fanatics who gave their lives for their cause.  But Federation training is far superior and soon only Sumner and his team faced Liv Enam.  But not for long as the man was suddenly beamed off the Array.

Outward from the array and Maor a field surrounds the area.  Behind the array, an event horizon had opened from which Liv Enam seems to have entered.  The captain and the others on the ship try to come up with ideas to help.  The array console holds Sumners attention as his primary thought is to shut the whole thing down.  Plunging his hand in, he deactivates the system, but the cost will be high for him as his hand demolecularizes and he falls unconscious.

As Sumner succeeds, Maor is free and all energy around the array goes down… all that is but the glow around Maor.  The event horizon continues to widen as the captain tries to figure out away to close it and keep the ship from being pulled in.  And while the ship appears to be moving away from the event horizon, it does not from the station.

At the same time, one of the new crewmembers who had been held due to some questions on his background has finally been released from his quarters.

Captain's log, stardate 10808.17. The array that holds Maor and the weapons has deployed a sort of gateway to a different universe. One of the ships that were attacking us went into it. Meanwhile, Space, Time and the laws of physics are breaking around us. I wonder how long we will hold out.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::in her chair, podering her options:: FCO: Full stop again please

SO Lt Rose says:
:: On the bridge, working on trying to get a lock.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Can we get that lock on Maor yet?

FCO Fung says:
CO: Aye, captain.  Full stop.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::moves to Rose's station:: SO: Perhaps with the information from the CSO's team

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I can get Sumner and the others, but there appears to be some kind of field around the Commander that is causing problems.

MO Ens R Croft says:
:: The two Security guards leave Richard's quarters and Richard makes his way up to the bridge::  CO: Ma'am Ensign Richard Croft reporting for duity

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Glances briefly at the new entry then up at the captain::  CO: Shall I bring them aboard?

CO Capt Gomes says:

SO Lt Rose says:
:: nods::  *Medical*: Incoming...  ::beams Sumner to sickbay::

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: Welcome aboard Mr Croft. You came just in time. Something has happened to commander Maor. He is on that array ::points to the viewscreen::

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: Perhaps you can assist lt Rose in getting a lock on him .. perhaps using his specific life signs

FCO Fung says:
CO: The ship is at a full stop.  We seem to be locked somehow to the station.

MO Ens R Croft says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::With that Richard moves over to Lt Rose::  SO: Can I be of any help?

CO Capt Gomes says:
Self: if only you would give us a sign Maor!

SO Lt Rose says:
:: shifts slightly::  MO: There appears to be some kind of field around the commander that our transport beam lock keeps sliding around.

CO Capt Gomes says:
FCO: Thank you, that is what I suspected. Unless we start being pulled to the singularity again, keep the position

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@::Glances around in wonder, observing everything around him as his body slowly adjusts to whatever that has happened to it. His body feeling stronger and more vigilant. A feeling of true immortality::

FCO Fung says:
CO: Aye, captain.

MO Ens R Croft says:
SO: Have you tried to narrowing the compration rate?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Captain... we could send in a shuttle?

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods to rose:: COM: Array: I am glad to hear you Maor. We can't seem to get a lock on you because of some force field. Can you get to a shuttlebay or a hatch?

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: I am getting no energy reading except in the vicinity of Maor.

MO Ens R Croft says:
:: Moves to take the SO place at the console::

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: Any other life signs?

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: None, captain.

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: They must have left? ::frowns:: SO: and the singularity keeps increasing?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@COM: USS Seleya: CO: I'm not sure, Captain. I seem to be alone here. ::Takes a few hesitant steps towards one of the walls:: Wherever 'here' is.

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Basically, yes.  But we appear to be in some kind of a... you know, like the center of the storm... the eye.

CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Array: You are alone in the array. The array created a singularity that is distorting space around it. do you know how it was created? Can you revert it?

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: You mean the singularity is all around us?

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Not yet...

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I don't like the sound of that. We have to find a way to counteract it ... something tells me Maor has the key

SO Lt Rose says:

CIV Cmdr Maor says:

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I understand the urgency of the situation ... ::listens to the com..SO: transparent?

MO Ens R Croft says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Ma'am we may be able to you the EM "windows" in the shield to beam Maor out

CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Array: You look pretty piqué to us. I am deploying a shuttle to get you. Do you have any idea where you might get to a hatch?

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: You mean beam him between the pulses? Good idea. Try it

MO Ens R Croft says:
::Starts the computer working on finding a window in the shield around Maor::

CO Capt Gomes says:
COM: Array: Stand by Maor, We are trying a new way to get lock on you

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at the captain and then the array and frowns::  CO:  If he is looking up... :: points to the apex.::

MO Ens R Croft says:
CO: Ma'am the computers going to take a few minutes to find the hole

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods:: SO: He must be in the top section

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
@COM: USS Seleya: CO: Understood, I'll standby. ::Continues watching the Seleya, thinking on how much he'd like to be there right about now. Away from this place::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: nods::

ACTION: Maor finds himself on the bridge of the Seleya.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::blinks:: CIV: That was fast

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: Good work Ensign!

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at the doctor, impressed.::

MO Ens R Croft says:
CO: Ma'am that wasn't me the computer's still working on the hole

SO Lt Rose says:
:: raises a brow and looks at Maor::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::raises an eyebrow at the MO::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: Did you beam yourself in?

MO Ens R Croft says:
::Richard moves over to Maor with a tricorder open and starts scanning Maor:: CIV: Can you just stay still for a minute?

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Narrows his eyes at the direction of the CO, remaining silent for now. After a silent moment he turns himself towards the direction of the viewscreen to stare at the direction of the singularity, wishing it gone::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::looks at the CIV somewhat in disbelief:: MO/SO: There is your energy field. What is going on with him?

ACTION: The anomaly wavers at the same time so does Maor; a flickering as if a flame is about to go out.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at the doctor scanning Maor::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::stares at the viewscreen in disbelief:: CIV: Are you ... ::shuts up and lets him do his thing::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Lowers his voice:: MO: Stay away from me. ::Continues staring at the direction of the singularity::

ACTION: CIV becomes dimmer.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Turns to sensors::  CO: The anomaly appears to be shrinking.

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: You mean that when we destroy once we destroy the other?

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: If the Array is an anchor... what if we destroy it?  It has no protection at the moment.

MO Ens R Croft says:
::The tricorder starts bleeping and flashing, Richard looks down at it then up at the captain:: CO: it looks that way, his life sign are fading fast

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods SO:: SO: Good idea though as you said yourself the array is powerless

CO Capt Gomes says:
TO: Aim all we got at that array and fire when ready

TO Thomlinson says:
CO: Targeting array....

CO Capt Gomes says:
::nods at the MO and then approaches the CIV, resisting an urge to touch him:: CIV: I am proud to call you my friend. You will not be forgotten and neither will Shane

ACTION:  The Array explodes in many pieces.  At the same time, space around the ship goes dark.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::moves back as she is nearly blinked by the explosion and then can barely see the darkness of space:: SO: Report!

SO Lt Rose says:
CO: Ummm... I do not know...

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: That is an unusual report. I take it sensor's can't pick up anything outside?

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: Check on Maor

SO Lt Rose says:
:: sighs::  CO: That is basically it.  I am reading nothing... absolutely nothing.

MO Ens R Croft says:
CO: Aye Ma'am ::Quickly get a medical tricorder and over back over to Maor and starts scan him with it::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Allows his voice to vibrate through the ship:: CO: Tell me, Captain.. ::Breaths deeply:: Is it time to start over?

CO Capt Gomes says:
SO: I see on the viewscreen that photons are gone, I was wondering about the other particles.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: shakes her head as she frowns.::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: To start .... ::she finally realizes what happened:: CIV: By all means please. and this time make it even better

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
::Laughs loudly:: CO: Then let it be. ::Allows his voice to trail off::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::goes back to seat in her chair facing the viewscreen:: SO/MO: Enjoy. This is something you never thought you'd witness and likely the last thing you ever will

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at the captain with very wide eyes::  CO:  But... I mean...

CO Capt Gomes says:
::without getting her eyes off the screen:: SO: I know it’s impossible to believe Rose. So don't. Just watch

SO Lt Rose says:
:: closes her eyes::

MO Ens R Croft says:
::Sits on the deck looking at the screen, tricorder still in hand::

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: You surprise me, Captain. I didn't think you'd be so supportive of the idea. ::Begins to vibrate space itself around them::

ACTION:  Throughout the universe things suddenly speed up as galaxies are pulled toward the center.

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: It’s the only way to end it all

ACTION: Galaxies collide releasing massive energy that is slowly drawn to a center point.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Tell me, Captain. What is it that you most wish for? ::Pauses:: I know what I do. ::Begins destroying entire solar systems on their way towards the center point of the universe::

CO Capt Gomes says:
CIV: I wish for the same thing that every sentient creature in this universe wishes: Understanding

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Then be it. ::Gives the knowledge of the universe to the Captain:: Enjoy the ride. ::Destroys systems even closer to their current location in the universe::

ACTION: Prayers of those watching their suns die in various modes can be heard whispered throughout the darkness.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Watch everything around you die, like it deserves. ::Finally annihilates everything around them, leaving the Seleya stranded in the center of nothing::

SCENE:  Silence reigns.  Not even the hum of the ships engines can be heard.  Through the view screen, in the distance, an intense glow of light can be seen.

CIV Cmdr Maor says:
CO: You know what comes next, Captain. ::Stops, waiting for her response::

MO Ens R Croft says:
ALL: This is fascinating getting to see the beginning of life, the papers I'll be able to write from this

ACTION: The seventh big bang occurs as vast amounts of energy are flung outwards.

SCENE: Galaxies are formed.  Life begins and dies.  Wars are fought, won and lost.  Suns are birthed, live and die.

ACTION: Those on the Seleya watch as through a video time pass in flashes of eons.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Finds her jaw open and closes it with a snap::

MO Ens R Croft says:
::Blinks his eyes and looks around him::

ACTION:  Billions of years pass as if in a blink of an eye.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::observes everything without making a sound or a movement as if absorbed by some unknown force::

ACTION:  The hum of the ships engines can be heard along with incoming comms.  Around them the universe is normal including the Madtion Nebula.

SO Lt Rose says:
:: slowly turns to her station::

CO Capt Gomes says:
::blinks, as if waken from a dream::

SO Lt Rose says:
:: Scans through the rush of the data.  Quietly::  CO: Everything seems to be fine... but there are... differences.

CO Capt Gomes says:
::gets up:: SO: Get the computer to catalogue them, this is something no one ever did before, bring information from the previous universe

SO Lt Rose says:
:: nods in a kind of a daze::

MO Ens R Croft says:
::Richard comes around to find Maor on the deck next to him, unconscious so Richard starts scanning him:: CO: Ma'am he's still alive, but unconscious.

CO Capt Gomes says:
MO: I am glad that is back as it was. We would not want Maor with the power to control the universe. Please get him to sickbay and give him a full medical exam

MO Ens R Croft says:
CO: Aye Ma'am ::Waves over a fellow ensign to help him lift Maor down to sickbay::
