Captains Log Stardate 10302.07 We were currently trying to get the Medici back to its own time when something went wrong. I'm not sure, but I think now the Artemis is lost

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
If we are, how can we get back to we once was?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ma'am is there a problem?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::straightens tunic waiting for the TL to stop::

CTO_Peters says:
::Wracks her brain trying to think what happened this time.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The FCO notices nothing more about the shuttle

OPS_Mades says:
::gets up and walks over to SCI:: CSO: So, what's the verdict?  Where are we?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::feels the TL stop watches the doors open stepping out on the bridge::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I just read the report about your departments latest security drill, which involved children running around the jeffries tubes?  

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees something else about the shuttle and goes to check it out::

CSO_KTor says:
OPS: The question is not where, but when. There can be no definitive answer until the time probe returns, or we exit the nebula.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Ensign, come over here

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ah yes, maybe we should talk.  I just haven't had a chance to get that memo to you sir.  I assure you the children are in no danger and believe it or not they are perfect for this.

OPS_Mades says:
CSO: I wish we could see the stars.  That would give us an idea at least.

TO_Sky says:
::finishes making her notes and turns to the FCO:: FCO: What can I do for you sir?

FCO_Teasley says:
::points to the strange thing::  TO: What do you make of that?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks around the bridge for the FCO.... scratches head wondering where he is:: Self: I'm suppose to help him and he isn't here.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The probe returns into range of the Artemis.

CTO_Peters says:
CIV:  Mr. Lamberson, can you join Cmdr. Farrell and I for a moment?

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Aye ma'am.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: The jeffries tubes are off limits to children, no matter what the circumstances.  It just isn't safe for a child to be in those tubes, they could fall, or hurt themselves with some of the equipment...

TO_Sky says:
::looks at what the FCO is pointing to and shrugs:: FCO: I don't really know but much of this is strange.

CSO_KTor says:
::Turns back to his station at a beeping noise:: XO: Sir, the time probe has reappeared on sensors.

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Downloading.

OPS_Mades says:
::looks about the bridge, wishing he could be more useful at the moment, but science was never his strong suit and definitely not temporal quandaries::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::makes way over to the TAC console:: XO/CTO: How may I help you?

CSO_KTor says:
::opens a channel to the probe::

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees what looks like the engineering part of the shuttle and tries to remove a panel from there::

XO_Farrel says:
::Raises a hand to the two:: CTO/CIV: One moment... CSO: What time is it out there?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I’m aware of that Sir and believe me I've tried to keep them out.  They are bright and manage to get in even after we lock them down.

CTO_Peters says:
CIV/XO:  Is there a place we can talk?

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Give me a hand with this

TO_Sky says:
::nods and slips the PADD into her pocket going to help the FCO::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, the probe successfully exited the nebula but was unable to raise any Federation beacons.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: How's that possible?

CSO_KTor says:
XO: It's possible we have traveled to a time when the beacons did or will not exist.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::in the shuttle bay watching the Engineers go about probing the shuttle::

FCO_Teasley says:
::pulls on the panel::

OPS_Mades says:
CSO:  How far outside of the nebula did it get?  Could there just have been too much interference?

XO_Farrel says:
::Eyes widen:: CSO: Call the captain...

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Yes sir.

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at Lamberson::

TO_Sky says:
::helps the FCO even though her mind is elsewhere:: FCO: What do you expect to find?

XO_Farrel says:
::Turns back to Peters and Lamberson:: CTO/CIV: Perhaps...we should discuss this later...

CSO_KTor says:
*CO*: Sir, the probe has returned and was unable to contact any Federation beacons. We may be in a time when there are no beacons close enough to this area.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Something that can tell us what this is

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: XO: Aye Sir...  My memo is ready maybe I should send it then we can discuss, believe me this is the best we've come up with to control the children and their adventures in the JT's at least they are monitored.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: Can you elaborate more Mr. K'Tor?

TO_Sky says:
FCO: Very well sir but I just fly the things I don't build them.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::scratches head wondering what they had gotten themselves into looks over at the Peters:: XO: I will be at you immediate disposal commander. ::has a puzzled tone to voice::

CMO_La`i says:
::Finishing the initial once over, begins to take samples for the cellular level.::

OPS_Mades says:
::walks back to his station a bit perplexed - wonders why everyone is jumping to conclusions... has anyone done a diagnostic to make sure the probe was working... what about trying to verify the "when" by other methods...  was he not jumping with them just because he didn't want it to be true?::

XO_Farrel says:
::nods, looking distant:: CTO: I'll read it over.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: We're not building, we're temporarily taking something apart

CSO_KTor says:
*CO*: Sir, we may have traveled into the past, before time beacons were placed near this nebula; we may have traveled into the future far enough that the time beacon network uses an unrecognized protocol.

CTO_Peters says:
::Gives Lamberson the don't worry look.::

OPS_Mades says:
::starts running a few diagnostics::

CMO_La`i says:
::Hands the samples to Sarah and motions for her to begin analysis.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Could you tell me where Cmdr. Teasley is?

TO_Sky says:
::rolls her eyes:: FCO: It was a joke sir. ::clamps her mouth shut before she actually says something wrong::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Ma'am we really should exit the nebula we can get a better bearing that way.

CTO_Peters says:
CIV:  In the shuttlebay I belive.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: I concur

XO_Farrel says:
::Goes to the library computer station beside K’Tor, and looks up the Federation beacon network:: CSO: That probe should have made contact with the relay station in the Volnak system..."

CSO_KTor says:
XO: I also believe we should exit the nebula as soon as possible.

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: So was I

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Thank you Zoe. ::nods turning around heading back to the TL::

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Indeed. I set it to maximum communications gain and put it in broadcast mode, but there was no reply from anywhere.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Shuttle Bay.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: How do you know for sure that we traveled in the future?

TO_Sky says:
FCO: Yes but my joking seems to get me in trouble. ::shakes head:: Never mind, sir, just tell me what you wish my team and I to do.

CSO_KTor says:
*CO*: I'm not sure of that sir. We could also have traveled to the past before beacons were in this area.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::exits the TL entering the shuttle bay spotting the FCO makes way over:: FCO: Commander I was told to give you a hand.

XO_Farrel says:
::Nods at the bridge sentiment and pipes up:: *CO* Sir, it has been suggested that we should leave the nebula to avoid any further time traveling.

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Maybe if I can lock on to some ships we can determine which way we went.

TO_Sky says:
::looks over her shoulder at the CIV and nods::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: Work with it and once you have something concrete Mr. K'Tor, comm me

CSO_KTor says:
*CO*: Aye sir. Ensign K'Tor out.

OPS_Mades says:
::continues with his diagnostics, so far finding nothing wrong::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::nods back to the TO::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: You mean which way we went in time?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Agreed, make it happen

TO_Sky says:
FCO: It seems you have more help. If you will excuse me I need to finish my report.

CSO_KTor says:
::checks library computers, this time looking at the age and rough maintenance schedules of the Volnak station, checking if it might just have failed::

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: Excellent, Mr. … huh? I'm sorry, I don't know your name

FCO_Teasley says:
TO: Go ahead

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Yes Sir.  We would know the configurations of the past ships.  Anything from the future would not register.  There is something else we need to consider Ma'am.  We may have traveled dimensions.

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: Sorry Commander Stephen Lamberson.

TO_Sky says:
::turns and walks off pulling the PADD back out of her pocket reading over the information::

XO_Farrel says:
Duty FCO: Helm, set course out of this nebula, by way of the way we came in.  Confirm with engineering for fasted possible sub-light speed, and engage.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Dimensions? ::Has nightmares of the Artemis' last visit to the mirror universe:: Oh god, I hope not!

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: Very well Mr. Stephen Lamberson, I want to try to break the encryption codes on the shuttle's computer so we can download their logs

CTO_Peters says:
::interesting reaction::  XO:  We can't discount it Ma'am.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Hali, also have the Engineers run a baryon sweep of the Artemis

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: What have you tried so far commander?

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Ma'am we have finished our exam of the shuttle. I should have the report ready for you shortly.

CMO_La`i says:
::Finishing up, she covers the body.::

XO_Farrel says:
<Duty_FCO> XO: Yes ma'am.  ::Actives fastest/safest sub-light speed out of the nebula::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Excellent Bri.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Is that safe sir?  I thought baryons could be lethal to biological matter?

TO_Sky says:
::shakes her head and heads out of the shuttle bay after talking to the team leader that they remain and keep things secure here::

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: A few recursive algorithms, but it didn't work

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters:: XO:  Not could be.  Is.

OPS_Mades says:
::having problems sitting still, gets up and makes his way back to Zoe::  CTO: Hi

CTO_Peters says:
CTO:  Hey Chris....  ::Smiles::

CMO_La`i says:
::Slipping out of her cover up, she tosses it into the recycler before heading out of the room, the familiar zap raising the hair on her arms.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: I'm a combat engineer and a tactical specialist but I will see what I can help you with. ::looks at the open panel in deep thought::

OPS_Mades says:
::trying to cover his anxiety, but probably not succeeding too well::  CTO: This happens all the time right... starships getting lost and all.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Maintain yellow alert...we don’t know what were going to find out there when we're clear.  Keep alert.  I trust tactical sensors are back to full power?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Aye Sir they are...  As full as they are going to be.

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Christian it happens more times then we realize and most make it back.  We will too and maybe so will the Medici.

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles reassuringly at Christian::

XO_Farrel says:
::mumbles something about hoping to avoid a certain "empire"::

CSO_KTor says:
::thinks for a moment::

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: Have you tried old fashion alphanumeric codes? ::scratches his chin::

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles a bit::  CTO: I sure would like to spend more time with my uncle.

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: No, I haven't

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Hali, my mistake, make that a dekyon sweep

TO_Sky says:
::walks into the security office noting that the red alert was cancelled...deep in thought she heads to her desk back in the corner::

CMO_La`i says:
::As she enters the main sickbay, she thanks Sarah who hands her the cellular data on the body.::  Hmmm....  well, that answers one question if  not the direction.

FCO_Teasley says:
::gazes at the open panel, trying to make heads and tails of the design::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Maybe you will.  But remember, you have something to tell your father.  Your Uncle is well and didn't die, he just can't find his way back home.

XO_Farrel says:
*CO*: I sir.  Was there something you were hoping the sweep to reveal?

CMO_La`i says:
MO:  I am going to head up to the bridge.  You have sickbay.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Actually, a tachyon sweep will kill all humans

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, we may have simply changed our own universe by returning the Medici. We may still be in our own time.

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: I wish we knew.

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  I know... maybe you were better off not ever seeing the Medici.  ::wants to comfort him.::

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Quite possible...  ::hopes that's not the case, since they would have to take whatever steps necessary with the Medici to restore the timeline::

CMO_La`i says:
::Stepping into the TL::  Computer, bridge.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Let's just say that I don't feel like having a subspace breech if we time traveled

OPS_Mades says:
::starts to agree then stops:: CTO: No, no I was meant to find it, I really believe that.  I just hope that it doesn't doom the rest of you.  

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* I sir, just to confirm you wanted a dekyon sweep, correct?

CMO_La`i says:
::Steps from the bridge and looks about.::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  Don't think that.  We are not doomed.  We all know the dangers when we signed.  It’s not as if you deliberately brought us to this nebula at this time.

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: The only problem with alpha numeric it could take time to crack.... unless operations has a program to handle it.

TO_Sky says:
::sits down at her desk tossing the PADD in the center:: Self: I just really don't know why all the fuss...I still don't think I did anything wrong but state the truth. ::shrugs to herself not really sure what to think anymore but knowing she didn't do anything deserving of being "ordered" to see the CNS::

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: I don't know about that, but I'd rather more time and make less mistakes

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: Everyone on the Medici knew too, didn't make their families feel any better.  ::shakes his head::  Sorry, I really didn't mean to dive into the pity pool.  There is just a lot going on in my head right now.

CMO_La`i says:
::Seeing Hali, walks over to her::   XO:  I have some data for you... good or bad I am not sure.

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: Agreed commander. ::studies the panel once again::

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  I understand.  I don't know what I would do if I traveled in time and saw my husband again.  It’s a lot to process.

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: You've got that right!

XO_Farrel says:
::looks up at the familiar voice, and is happy to see La'i:: CMO: Hey...what have you got?

TO_Sky says:
::picks up the PADD and starts working on the report still trying to figure out what the XO has against her...wonders if it has something to do with being Betazoid:: Never did understand them much... ::mutters to herself::

FCO_Teasley says:
::takes a decoupler and tries to decouple some wiring::

CIV_Lamberson says:
FCO: Mind if I enter the shuttle commander?

FCO_Teasley says:
CIV: Go ahead

CMO_La`i says:
XO:  Our John Doe's body has a different quantum signature from ours.  ::Hands her the PADD with the data.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::takes a step inside the shuttle to see if there is anything he can recognize::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Mr. Mades, the captain wants a dekyon sweep of the ship to null any subspace breeches aboard.  Work with engineering to make it happen.  

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::he begins to look around::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: What do you think sir?

OPS_Mades says:
::nods to the XO and smiles at Zoe as he makes his way back to his station::

XO_Farrel says:
::looks it over, her head screaming no, no, no:: CMO: And....what is that an indication of?

CTO_Peters says:
::Sends a message to his console:: OPS:  Come to my quarters later and we will talk...

CIV_Lamberson says:
::turns makes way to shuttle entrance sticks head inside spotting the CO:: CO: Good day captain. ::enters the shuttle::

TO_Sky says:
::finishes up the report not that there is much to it:: Self: Just blast marks consistent with a Klingon disruptor but with some slight differences not to be able to say for sure. Computers are encrypted and unless the code can be broken they aren't going to find anything useful in them... ::pauses::

CMO_La`i says:
XO:  We are not from the same time period... time line... depending on how you look at it.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Well Mr. Teasley, I can recognize everything about it, but its nothing that I ever seen in any of our databases

OPS_Mades says:
::wondering what a dekyon is, looks it up in LCARS.  "subatomic particle with subspace and temporal properties.  Dekyons can travel across a temporal causality loop."  Isn't sure what that means, but starts working on it.::

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: Do you think he could be ::leans in and whispers:: from another dimension?

OPS_Mades says:
::sends a note back to Zoe  "I'd ask when, but that is pretty relative right now."::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CIV: Hello Mr. Lamberson.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I've been studying the designs of the shuttle and there is something peculiar about it

CTO_Peters says:
::Chuckles to herself over the note::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Have you retrieved anything from its memory banks?

TO_Sky says:
::looks around and spots Torak...gets up and walks over to where he is working:: Torak: I want you to get the best we have for breaking encryptions and have them report to the FCO in the shuttle bay. We need to see if we can break the codes and see what the computers of that shuttle have in them.

CMO_La`i says:
XO: Hali, dimension, time... whatever it is, it is not ours.  And I can't tell unfortunately if it is forwards or backwards or the same as ours in time sequence.

OPS_Mades says:
::finishes coordinating with engineering and reconfigures the appropriate emitters::  XO: Dekyon sweep is ready to go.

TO_Sky says:
<Torak>  ::standing up Torak nods:: TO: I'll get on it right away. ::turns and walks off::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Do it.

OPS_Mades says:
::nods and initiates the sweep::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: The main computer is encrypted.  Mr. Lamberson is trying to break the codes but it could take some time

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CIV: Have anything to add about the shuttle Mr. Lamberson?

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: I see...well it looks like we're about to find out... ::motioning to the viewer as the last strands of pink nebula clouds clear away to reveal stars::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Can it be broken?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Artemis clears the Nebula.

CIV_Lamberson says:
CO: Not at the moment captain.

CTO_Peters says:
::Begins actively scanning for ships as they exit the nebula.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I believe so, but like I said, it will take some time to break it

CSO_KTor says:
::Turns and looks at the viewscreen::

OPS_Mades says:
::is happy to see stars again::

XO_Farrel says:
::is about to order full scans, but smiles as she hears Peters already tapping away::

CMO_La`i says:
::Looks up a the viewer::  XO:  We are finally leaving the Nebula?

TO_Sky says:
::goes over and sits back down finishing the report and sending it to the CTO...stands up and looks around before heading out to do rounds of the security teams::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::sits down at the shuttles operations console looking it over::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Do whatever you can to break it. I want to know what secrets its holding

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: Yes, though I’m not sure we're going to be any safer out here.  

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Understood sir

OPS_Mades says:
CSO: Can we compare to the stars to our records from when we entered the nebula?

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Captain, we've cleared the nebula, running full scans to determine our position/time now sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: Have you any information on our deceased pilot?

CSO_KTor says:
OPS: Good idea. I'll check the database.

CMO_La`i says:
XO: Perhaps not, but perhaps a few more answers awaiting us.

CMO_La`i says:
*CO*:  Yes I do... not what you want I am afraid.

CSO_KTor says:
::opens up the database and starts checking stars against previous records::

CTO_Peters says:
::looks carefully at the scans....:: XO:  Ma'am I'm detecting a Klingon transport at the edge of our sensor range.....  ::double checks to be sure::  Also I have no Federation Markers n range.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Aye, and let me know what you find

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: Elaborate Doctor

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Our relay station on Volnak?  nothing at all?  

CSO_KTor says:
XO/OPS: Sir, as much as many star systems as we can detect are in normal positions.

FCO_Teasley says:
::takes a couple computer chips::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  Absolutely nada.

OPS_Mades says:
::sighs in relief - maybe they haven't gone anywhere::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Any unusual features to that transport you can identify?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I'm checking now... also trying to determine the cargo.

TO_Sky says:
::wonders how things are going with the others but refrains from going to the bridge right now...forces herself to concentrate on her job::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Captain?

CMO_La`i says:
::Looks at Hali as she proceeds.::  *CO*:  Our pilots quantum signature at the cellular structure is not the same as ours.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::taps an alphanumeric command into the console trying to pull up the computer’s main interface::

CSO_KTor says:
::hearing CMO and XO:: XO/CMO: Sir, may I suggest bringing some nebular gas or space dust on board, and comparing its quantum signature with both our own and the pilot's?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CMO*: As in how?

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  It bears some of the differences as the shuttle does... But we can still recognize it as Klingon.   I'm still too far away to determine the cargo.

CMO_La`i says:
::Looks at the CSO::  XO:  Possible.

XO_Farrel says:
::paces back in forth on the bridge::  CSO: Eh?  Yes, yes, excellent idea.  Begin at once.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: What do you have Mr. Teasley?

CSO_KTor says:
XO: Yes sir.

OPS_Mades says:
::checks on the status of the dekyon sweep::

CMO_La`i says:
*CO*:  As in we are not in sync with either his time line or his time.  Until we get more information, I can't tell you which direction for sure.

FCO_Teasley says:
::shows him the chips::  CO: These kind of look like isolinear chips

CSO_KTor says:
::locates a piece of space dust, raises a containment field in the science lab:: OPS: Mr. Mades, would you beam this directly to the containment area in Science Lab 1 please?

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Sir it would seem the stars are in the same alignment as when we first arrived here.  Only problem is there is no sign of Federation activity, and only a barely recognizable Klingon transport on the edge of sensor range.

CTO_Peters says:
::Tracks the transport closely::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::notices the console doesn't respond stands up walking to the back to the exit and steps out::

CMO_La`i says:
*CO*/XO:  Which might lead to different time line, same time.

OPS_Mades says:
::noticing what's going on, tries to passively patch into any transmissions from the Klingon ship::

TO_Sky says:
::stops by the shuttle bay to see how things are going...enters and goes to speak with some of the team::

CSO_KTor says:
OPS: Could you also send me the transporter logs? They could be useful.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Bri, gather up all non-essential personnel and confine them to quarters.  ::Looks at the XO for confirmation of this.::   Make sure the children are not in the tubes.

OPS_Mades says:
::nods to the CSO and initiates the transport::

XO_Farrel says:
::nodding at La'i's sentiment:: *CO* We could be back in the mirror universe sir...too early to tell for sure.  The fact that the first ship we find out there is Klingon is not a good sign though...

CTO_Peters says:
XO:   The transport is heading to the Koranda system....  This is a Federation Dilithium mining facility at least according to our records.  With the changes, this mine could be anything now.

CSO_KTor says:
::downloads transporter logs onto a PADD:: XO: Permission to leave the bridge sir?

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Aye ma'am. ::sends word to all security teams that all nonessential personnel are to go to quarters and stay there until notified otherwise...  head for the children quarters to make sure they are where they are supposed to be::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CMO/XO*: So what your telling me is that we are in an alternate Universe?

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: I see...  Monitor subspace transmissions, we need to find more clues.

XO_Farrel says:
CSO: Granted.

CMO_La`i says:
*CO*:  Evidence appears to point that way.  Pardon the pun, but time will tell... that and more data.

CSO_KTor says:
::logs out the Science station and heads for a turbolift::

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  I've ordered Ens Sky to confine non-essential personnel to quarters...  ::For good measure adds::  Especially the children.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::steps down from the shuttle with a grunt walks back to the FCO::

CSO_KTor says:
Computer: Deck 4.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Thank you.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: The shuttle is recognizable, but isn't in our databanks

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  how about I put subspace transmissions on speaker?

CSO_KTor says:
::reads the PADD while the turbolift travels::

TO_Sky says:
::after making her checks calls the CTO:: *CTO*: The children are secure and understand they must remain where they are. I sort of told them this was part of the training and they accepted that. They seem to still be celebrating the fact they out witted the security teams earlier.

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Make it so.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Do you think it’s from an alternate universe?

CSO_KTor says:
::walks down the hallway and into Science Lab 1::

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Good that should keep them confined for a bit...  The last thing we need is to trip over the children.  ::Puts the subspace chatter on speakers::  Ens please come to the bridge.  We may need you here.

XO_Farrel says:
::Sits in the command chair, and sighs, looking over at La'i:: CMO: I would try contacting Starfleet...but somehow I think that would be naive.

CSO_KTor says:
::sits down at a console and starts scanning the space dust::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: I think so, this has isolinear chips.  Most starships and shuttles have bio-neural circuitry

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks from the CO to the FCO with a puzzled look::

TO_Sky says:
::sighs:: *CTO*: Aye ma'am on my way. ::turns and heads for the nearest TL::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CIV: What do you conclude Mr. Lamberson?

CMO_La`i says:
XO:  I wasn't here the last time you went carousing through the alternate universe.  But was there a Starfleet then?

TO_Sky says:
::enters the TL and takes it to the bridge...steps off and slips around to the tactical station logging up her computer::

CIV_Lamberson says:
CO: Unknown sir... the operations console doesn't respond the any of the commands I know... but mind you I'm no expert there captain.

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles as the Ens enters the bridge.::

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: No, just a war mongering Terran empire...but the last time we were inside the mirror was closer to quirks time then our own.  The Mirror of the 24th century is a very dangerous place.

CTO_Peters says:
XO:  We are getting Klingon COMMs...  Encrypted...  ::mutters::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Bri, how is your Klingon?

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: Don't bother trying to decrypt them, I've been trying for a while now, this is like nothing I've ever seen from a Klingon system.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Very bad ma'am in fact except for a couple of cuss words I don't know any. ::keeps her face impassive and very professional::

XO_Farrel says:
CTO: Transmissions usually are sealed with some kind of banner...for instead Starfleet's seal on all subspace messages...can you raise any banner on these signals?

CTO_Peters says:
OPS/TO:  They has to be a way to break them.

CMO_La`i says:
Hmmm... XO:  So this is more likely different from that one as we appear to be in the same time as our own.  ::Shakes her head::  Anything you need of me?

CSO_KTor says:
*CO/XO*: Sir, I have completed my analysis of the space dust. Its quantum signature matches that of the shuttle's pilot, but not of the Artemis.

OPS_Mades says:
XO/CTO: It is completely encrypted, without breaking the code all we know is that it is Klingon in nature.

CSO_KTor says:
::puts the space dust into storage, and walks back to the turbolift::

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: No...just nice having you here.  

CSO_KTor says:
Computer: Deck 1.

CTO_Peters says:
OPS:  You try a mathematical sequence to break the code?

TO_Sky says:
::cautiously glances over her shoulder at the activity on the bridge then turns her attention back to her console::

CMO_La`i says:
::Chuckles::  XO:  In that case, I will swipe your chair for a bit and enjoy the view while we wait for some more data.

OPS_Mades says:
::keeps working at this frustrating puzzle::

XO_Farrel says:
*CSO* Good work, thank you Mr. K’Tor.

CTO_Peters says:
:leans over and whispers:: TO:  Relax Bri, nobody is thinking of what happened earlier.

XO_Farrel says:
CMO: keep it warm for me  ::smiles and winks::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CSO*: So you think we entered a quantum fissure?

CSO_KTor says:
::steps out of turbolift and goes to Science 1::

OPS_Mades says:
CTO: I'm trying every algorithm I know to break in.  ::turns around and smirks::  and I've always been pretty good at this.

TO_Sky says:
::whispers back almost harshly:: CTO: They might not be but I am. ::absently rubs her hand and mutters aloud about maybe he was right::

CSO_KTor says:
*CO*: We have definitely traveled to an alternate timeline, universe, whatever term you prefer. A quantum fissure is most likely.

CMO_La`i says:
::Settles into the chair and mutters something about shortening it a bit.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::his face goes flush::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Then forget about it.  It's over and done with and I need your full attention here.  I have no idea what we are dealing with but I feel that maybe Cmdr. Farrell does.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: It's not an easy thing to forget ma'am...especially when the rumors are flying all over the ship. I will do my job you have no need of worrying about that.

XO_Farrel says:
::smiles to herself, seeing La'i feet dangling above the floor::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Two Klingon ships, closely resembling Birds of Prey de-cloak behind the Artemis.

FCO_Teasley says:
::looks at the captain and moves my hand over my head::
