Last time on the Seleya...

The crew arrived had arrived at an unexplored and uncharted region of space in the Beta quadrant after having followed the warp trail of the unknown thieves and murders.  The system contains two stars surrounded by 14 planets.  It was discovered that three of the planets in the inner system held life and given evidence, advanced civilizations somewhat equal to the Seleya's.

It was obvious some sort of conflict had gone on as the ship passed by a standard warning system for the planets with some destroyed and others working inefficiently.  They passed through debris remnants of what was most likely ships and they saw what was left of some of those ships on the worlds and asteroids they passed.  There were at least two different energy signatures found, two which matched the civilization of this system and one which did not.

On the middle of the three inhabited planet, the crew picked up the energy signature of the guardian.  When the captain tried to contact the aliens, all comms suddenly went silent.  A call came through, garbled from someone identifying themselves as one of the survivors of the Pleiades warning them away.  And the time displacement waves began.  They were inconsistent and not at all what had been expected.  A few very strong ones struck the ship and slightly altered things until finally a large one passed by, knocking the crew out for an hour.

Upon awaking, the crew found more changes to their ship, but they were minor and did not disrupt their abilities to perform.  However, all life in the system has vanished.

Commander's Maor log: With the Captain busy with her attempts to reach Starfleet it is up to us to find the missing artifact, at whatever the cost.

<<<<<<<<<< The Last Ones VI >>>>>>>>>>

SO Lt Rose says:
:: At the shuttle, double checking her gear.  There was something about all of this that brought her dread; three civilizations do not suddenly vanish.  She wished she knew more about this guardian and their situation.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Standing in the center of the Bridge, glancing around ::
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Sitting at the copilot's seat, waiting for the CTO's arrival:: SO: Everything accounted for, Lieutenant?
SO Rowlins says:
Amb:  All is quiet below.  I am reading massive energy discharge.  How long ago, I am not certain yet, but at a guess, about six months ago.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Enters the shuttle bay with a phaser rifle strapped to his back with TO Derfel following behind him.::
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Looks up and nods to the tactical officers.::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::Quickly enters the shuttle and takes his seat.  Nods a greeting to Rose.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
SO: Have we run a chronometric scan yet?  Are we certain that we are at the same time period as before the mysterious event?
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Commander. ::Nods at his direction:: All: As soon as we're ready to embark I'll brief you regarding what we are expected to accomplish.
SO Rowlins says:
Amb:  No sir.  However all indications are time wise and location wise we are where we should be.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::At his station, monitoring engineering systems with some of them coming back online::
SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  I am not... :: pauses as she searches for some words and then sighs, shaking her head::  Never mind.  :: turning she steps aboard the shuttle and takes a seat at sensors.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Ponders the situation, trying to wonder what information they can glean immediately ::
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  You are not what Lt.?
 
ACTION:  As the stressed engines cooled and the engineers work on them, they return to normal.

SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  I keep feeling as if someone has walked over my grave... do ye know that old saying?
Crewman Thomas says:
::Steps aboard the shuttle and acknowledges the crew already aboard::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
FCO: Ensign, have we picked up any subspace transmissions?  Anything unusual - the absence of a major galactic power, or subtle differences in known transmissions?
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Taps his badge:: *CIV*: Maor to Savar. 
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Nods a greeting to Thomas... now they just needed their first officer to tell them what he expected.::

ACTION:  All are aboard the shuttle, as ready as possible.

Amb Envoy Savar says:
*XO*: Yes, Commander?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: Major galactic power, Ambassador?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  I've heard of the phrase and I think I understand you're feeling, since we've entered this system I've had a very odd feeling.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
FCO: The Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Breen, Cardassians...
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
::settles into his seat next to Derfel::  XO:  Security detail ready to go.
Crewman Thomas says:
All: Departure operations standing by.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
*CIV*: We're ready to leave, make sure to keep an open channel with us and a constant lock on us. We might need an emergency transport at any given second.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
::Nods at the direction of the CTO:: Crewman: Take us out, Crewman.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Gives a look towards the duty operations officer ::  OPS: Maintain communications channel and transporter lock with away team.  FCO: Prepare for the shuttle to disembark.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: Sighs again as she hears Heller...::
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: Yes ambassador. ::Activates shuttle door shield and opens the door.::
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
CTO: Everyone are to carry phaser rifles, Commander. No exceptions. Make sure they're on stun but on my orders everyone are to switch to an higher energy setting. We are going there expecting trouble as what we're after will not be so easily given away by whoever has it.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: With regards to galactic powers, ambassador - we're very much in uncharted territory but scans show no localized transmission or any evidence of any known galactic powers.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  Don't worry Lt., Derfel and I will keep y out of danger.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
XO:  Understood sir.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
FCO: I would have suspected we could pick up some of the general broadcast traffic.
 
ACTION:  The shuttle doors slowly open as the shuttle prepares to head out.

SO Lt Rose says:
CTO:  What kind of danger?
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
SO:  Wish I knew what to expect down there but we'll be ready for whatever pops up.
SO Lt Rose says:
:: simply nods her head as she waits for the shuttle do depart.::
Crewman Thomas says:
::Locks down the shuttle and activates vertical thrusts and brings the shuttle out of the shuttlebay::
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ *CIV*: Envoy, while you scan for changes in the timeline start working on adapting the shields to temporal shields. The Chief Engineer should be familiar with the changes needed, if something happens I'd rather the ship will be defended and if necessary will complete the work for us.
 
ACTION:  The shuttle slowly glides through the bay doors and heads toward the planet.  The bay doors close behind them.

FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: Ambassador, as I say we're in uncharted territory and so unable to pick even general traffic.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ XO:  I have a lock on the guardians week signal.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: Forward the coordinates to the flight navigation systems. ::Turns to face the crewman:: Crewman: Try to land us as close as possible to the SO's coordinates, Crewman.
SO Lt Rose says:
@:: Nods and forwards the co-ordinates::
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  I am reading massive energy displacement... not recent... about six months to a year ago.
Crewman Thomas says:
@XO: Aye commander. :: Receives coordinates and sets up flight plan for the shuttle to cross to the coordinates for landing::
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: Can you determine the cause?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ ::looks over her shoulder::  XO:  High radiation.  As for cause, at a guess, weapons.  This is not natural.
 
ACTION:  The shuttle smoothly enters the atmosphere.  Even from their height, they can see massive craters and the ruins of cities.

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Looks out the main shuttle window at the ground below, trying to get a feel for the area.::
Crewman Thomas says:
@All: My word!
Amb Envoy Savar says:
FCO: Ensign, has anyone run a head count of the crew?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Re-scans the area and still receives the same message - "no signal detected":: CIV: I've re-scanned the area and still no signals being received, general or otherwise.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: Can you still detect the signature?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: I can do one now?
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  Of the guardian?  Yes...
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: What's preventing us from getting a lock on it?
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: nods ::  FCO: Organize with department heads and deck leaders.
 
@ ACTION:  As the shuttle heads downwards, the pass over the remains of a large city, the center nothing more then a deep crater.  Further takes them to the base of a mountain.

@Scenery:  The surroundings give all the appearance of a military facility.  Within the wall of the mountain is a large metal door.

 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: Can you detect any life signs, Commander? Or anything to indicate they're somehow being masked? 
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Turns to the rear of the Bridge ::  TO: Mister Taliesin, order three class nine probes prepared with subspace sensors and communication pallets.  We'll launch them towards known areas, and monitor any differences.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ XO:  Commander, what kind of lock do you want?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
*USS Seleya*: This is the FCO, can all department heads and deck leaders report any missing crew to me, ASAP.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: To beam over the artifact, Lieutenant.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  Scanning now sir.  ::Begins a scan of the surface below.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Points to the mountain before them.::  XO:  We could try, but I am concerned about the radiation surrounding us.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@XO:  No life signs detected, I doubt anything would have survived long with the radiation that covered this planet.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: See if you can get a lock on it, don't do anything with it yet. We'll use it as a last resort.
To Taliesin says:
CIV: Yes sir  ::Begins setting up the probes, it taking more time than normal with the changes to his console.::
 
@ACTION:  The shuttle lands beside the entrance to the mountain beside ground vehicles silently waiting for the return of their owners.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: nods and taps a few commands.::  XO:  I have a lock.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ CTO: It got there somehow, Commander. I'd like to know how. ::Feels the shuttle landing:: All: The Commander will take point, everyone stick together. Be ready to transport the artifact using your tricorder, Lieutenant. ::Looks around:: Let's go.
SO Rowlins says:
 Civ: The shuttle has safely landed.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Departments begin to report in on his console and all lines read "All present"
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Looks towards OPS ::  OPS: Transporter and communication status?
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
:: CIV: Departments report all crew accounted for.
TO Taliesin says:
CIV:  Probes are ready for launch.
SO Lt Rose says:
@XO:  The lock is not stable... each time a wave passes, small as it is, the lock drops temporarily.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Stands and waits for the door to open.::  TO:  You take up there rear.  All:  Grab a rifle on your way out.  ::Opens up the weapons compartment at the rear of the shuttle.;;
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: As I said, last resort. ::Grabs a phaser and waits for the CTO::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: looks sadly at the rifle as she takes it, but says nothing::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
TO: Program them to self-destruct if they encounter another vessel.  If the timeline has changed, we do not wish to inadvertently introduce advanced technology to this timeline.  Launch one towards Sol, one towards Romulus, and one towards Qo'noS and have them report back regularly.
CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::As the door opens he moves outside and sweeps the area looking for any indication of a threat.::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: Glances at the first officer and nods as she makes sure she has the needed info on her tricorder.::
TO Taliesin says:
 CIV;  Understood sir.  ::Makes the necessary adjustments and starts up the launch sequence of probes.::
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: How far are we from the artifact? 
 
@ Scenery:  There is a slight breeze, heavy with the remnants of radiation.  Sterile ground crunches under their feet as they step down.  Under the overhang, protected by some rocks, can be seen the skeleton of a plant.

SO Lt Rose says:
@ ::Quietly::  XO:  Ahead, behind those doors... about a half a kilometer in and about another half down.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
::Starts to see waves oscillating on his console:: CIV: Ambassador, signals are beginning to bounce back!
 
ACTION:  The probes launch smoothly, heading for their destination.

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Moves out from the shuttle phaser rifle braced against his shoulder.::
TO Taliesin says:
 CIV:  Probes away.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
FCO: Which signals?
SO Rowlins says:
CIV:  There is some kind of blocking signal surrounding the system.
FCO Ens MacArthur says:
CIV: Confirmed Ambassador, these are my own signals that I sent out earlier.
Amb Envoy Savar says:
:: Is curious ::  SO: Explain.  Is the system self-contained?
SO Rowlins says:
CIV:  Looks to be technological.  I do not know if we missed them on the way in or they appeared... after.
SO Lt Rose says:
@ All:  I am reading nothing but the waves of the guardian.  Whatever hit this place, was thorough.
 
Scenery:  Near the door, is evidence the land shook.  Boulders have been displaced and there is a crack in the wall near the door leading inward.

CTO Lt Cmdr Heller says:
@::Takes in the destruction around him and wonders what caused all of it.::
Amb Envoy Savar says:
TO: Have the probes yet encountered this barrier?
Crewman Thomas says:
@ ::Holding his rifle, looking around::
SO Lt Rose says:
@ :: stops with the others before the door and crack nearby.   She cannot see to far within beyond the suns light.::  XO:  Scans show nothing living or running... beside the guardian.
 XO Cmdr Maor says:
@ SO: Understood, can to figure a way to open the door?
SO Lt Rose says:
@ XO: Might take a bit... the crack appears to go through into the interior... you might have to contort your body a bit... :: looks at him::  and bend your head.
TO Taliesin says:
CIV:  Nothing as of yet, they should be passing through the barrier any moment though.
