Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Captain’s Log Stardate 10303.14 I think the Medici has found its way home or at least I hope so. I was however able to let the Captain of the Medici know not to attack the Klingon vessel that he will encounter when getting home. I hope that he has heeded my warning. Now we can start worrying about getting ourselves back home. After this, I need a vacation so I can get home in Scotland to visit my family.

::In her quarters after spending the night and some of the day in sickbay.  She walks to her closet and steps into her uniform, zipping up the back::

OPS_Mades says:
:: just behind the CO on the way to the shuttle bay::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Do you think the Medici made her way back home?

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Anything on sensors Bri?

CSO_KTor says:
::Glances over at current sensors:: FCO: Negative sir.

OPS_Mades says:
::considers for a moment, then shakes his head:: CO: No, I don't think so.  I don't think she is meant to make it home.

TO_Sky says:
::looks up:: CTO: Nothing that I can see yet. ::keeps her eyes on the console::

XO_Farrel says:
::Replicates a Risan spice coffee to wake her up.  Exits into the corridors, mug in hand::

CTO: Just the same old interference. ::shrugs::

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Sir, maybe we can send a probe and see if we can contact a time beacon now?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::turns entering Ens. Rice's quarters watches as he snaps to attention:: Rice: Seems you are beginning to understand.

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  If the Medici did change the course of history, maybe outside the nebula changed too..

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Rice> CIV: Yes Sir!

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Good point, make it so

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: How so Mr. Mades?

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at Bri.::  TO:  How about it?

CIV_Lamberson says:
Rice: Let's see how much you have learned.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: How about what ma'am?

CIV_Lamberson says:
::taps commbadge:: *TO*: Lamberson to Sky.

XO_Farrel says:
::steps into the lift::  TL: Deck 1.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Hali, meet with myself and Mr. Mades down in the shuttle bay if you will

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I just don't think it's their fate.  ::lifts his hand for a moment and looks at it.::  Plus, if my uncle made it back there is a good chance that would change my past and I might not be here right now.  I might glow like the shuttle did.

CTO_Peters says:
::programs the probe with the coordinates of what should be the nearest beacon.::  TO: NM I'm just babbling.

TO_Sky says:
::groans a bit inwardly and taps commbadge:: *CIV*: Sky here...

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Aye sir.  ::stops the lift, and heads for the shuttlebay instead::

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Probe away.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Keep a close eye on it

TO_Sky says:
::looks at the CTO curious then back to her console...taps in a few commands and changes the sensors to see if there is a better reading::

CIV_Lamberson says:
*TO*: Bri do you have a patrol team I can put Mr. Rice with? Preferably with some seasoned people.

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Aye Sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: I don't know too much about stuff like that, science was never a strong suit of mine

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Me either, sir, but it seems to make sense.

TO_Sky says:
*CIV*: Hold on and I will check. ::pulls up the schedule and checks it over:: Put him with Charlie Team...the leader is Darian Stone.

CTO_Peters says:
::Sighs:: FCO:  Lost contact with the probe.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::turbolift arrives at the shuttle bay and he exits::

CIV_Lamberson says:
*TO*: Thank you Bri.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: What were the last readings before losing contact

TO_Sky says:
*CIV*: Your welcome, Sky out.

OPS_Mades says:
::follows the CO out of the lift::  CO: So what are we looking for, sir?

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  We should move closer to the edge of the nebula.

CIV_Lamberson says:
*Stone*: Lamberson to Stone.

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Stone> *CIV*: Stone here sir.

CIV_Lamberson says:
*Stone*: What is your location?

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: Acknowledged. Beta FCO: Ensign, move us close to the edge of the nebula

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters:: FCO:  Static, static and more static...  Once we are outside the nebula, I'll be able to get a good reading.   Getting anything useful inside the nebula is iffy anyway.  Besides…  I have it programmed to return to the ship.  So hopefully…

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Stone> *CIV*: Deck 3 heading for 4 sir.

CIV_Lamberson says:
*Stone*: I am going to meet you at the turbolift on deck four.

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Understood

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Stone> *CIV*: Aye sir.

CIV_Lamberson says:
*Stone*: Lamberson out.

XO_Farrel says:
::arrives on deck, and exits the lift heading for the shuttlebay.  She is relieved that so far she hasn't seen any more of those colors or ripples...whatever La'i had done had helped.  She arrives at the cargo doors and enters the shuttlebay.:: Hello?  ::looking around, coffee mug in hand.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
Rice: Ok Mr. Rice lets go.

CEO_Russel says:
::tries to boost power to the sensors, so they have a larger range.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Rice> CIV: Aye sir. ::walks out the door turns for the turbolift::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::walks out the door behind Rice::

TO_Sky says:
::continues watching her console and the readings half her attention on her thoughts of things that have been happening and what needs to be done::

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Rice> CIV: May I ask a question sir?

CIV_Lamberson says:
Rice: You may ensign.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Still nothing ma'am...I don't think it's possible in here.

CEO_Russel says:
::grimaces at the result:  0.01% increase in range...::

OPS_Mades says:
::as they enter the shuttlebay he sees the XO.  He smiles.  There has always been something about her that he found calming::

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Rice> CIV: Sir is this really what marine basic training is like?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: I just want to run a tricorder scan on the are where it sat and see if it truly existed here or if it was a figment of our imagination

XO_Farrel says:
::Looks at the empty shuttles around her, noting the one from the other universe is missing.  She sighs and paces slowly about, sipping from the mug.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::chuckles:: Rice: No ensign actually you have it light compared what marine goes through in basic.

CTO_Peters says:
::Hears beeping on her console.:;  FCO:  Sir, the probe has contact a federation buoy....  Let me read the data...

CIV_Lamberson says:

::Turns to the CTO to listen to the time::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::enters the TL behind Rice:: Computer Deck 4.

FCO_Teasley says:
::waits for CTO's findings::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::feels the TL start moving.... watches Rice as he continues to think::

CEO_Russel says:
::turns to listen to the CTO.::

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  Well the star date hasn't change.  We are not in the future or the past.

OPS_Mades says:
::can't help but smile back at the XO::  CO: I'll get a tricorder, sir.  ::walks over to a storage unit on the wall and fishes out a tricorder before returning to the CO's side::

TO_Sky says:
::listens to what the CTO is saying::

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: That's good, but is it our own timeline

CIV_Lamberson says:
::exits the TL finding Stone waiting:: Stone: Take Mr. Rice with you. If he so much as breath wrongs I want to know about it.

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  I'm trying to determine that now Sir.  Telemetry still coming in.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Enjoying your drink Hali?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Thank you Mr. Mades

XO_Farrel says:
::Noticing how friendly Mades seems today, as she watches him move to the equipment casings.::

CIV_Lamberson says:
<Stone> CIV: Aye sir. Rice: Ok Rice lets go. ::said in a tone that clearly stated he didn't like this idea::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::watches Stone lead his team down the corridor the turns and re-enters the TL:: Computer: Deck 1.

OPS_Mades says:
::opens up the tricorder and its starts making that beeping noise, but he wonders what he is looking for::

XO_Farrel says:
::turns towards the captain:: CO: Eh?  Oh this...Risan spice coffee.  It's very...stimulating.  ::Grins::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::nods::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::exits the TL stands watching the action for a minute before heading for tactical::

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  We will need to get to a subspace link and try and contact SF... at least we know it exists.  If it’s the StarFleet we know, that I cannot tell you.  ....::Consoles beeps again.::  hmmm I'm getting something else. ...::Looks::  Another buoy, not SF... alien... It's repeating some sort of message...  ::putting through the UT.::   It's weird

CTO_Peters says:
though... it looks like a Federation buoy.

TO_Sky says:
::goes back to watching the sensor reports coming in on her console::

CSO_KTor says:
FCO/CTO: Sir, we could beam some nebular gas onboard to analyze its quantum signature.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Actually most Risan things are...  ::Stops herself short on that one, taking a sip and turning a bit red::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Bri, can you see if the UT has begun to translate the message from the alien buoy?

FCO_Teasley says:
CTO: Do you have any objections?

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Aye ma'am. ::switches over to the UT::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS/XO: I thought it'd be a good idea, cause with our little encounter with Q, I want to be absolutely sure that this isn't a "test" of his

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: I wouldn't know, only been to Risa once and not for pleasure

OPS_Mades says:
::switches the tricorder to read particle signatures and starts looking around the room::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::stops hearing the CTO decides not to intrude at the moment::

TO_Sky says:
::looks puzzled:: CTO: It's a very odd message...

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Huh?  Q was aboard?  ::stops drinking with a sudden slurp::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Odd, what do you mean

TO_Sky says:
CTO: It translates as “This is Utak of the Glomel Conglomerate. This Nebula is in an unstable quantum flux. Enter at your own risk.”

TO_Sky says:
CTO: What is the Glomel Conglomerate?

CTO_Peters says:
FCO:  I think it's a good idea Sir.

CSO_KTor says:
FCO/CTO/TO: Perhaps some equivalent to Starfleet?

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at Bri and shrugs.::  TO:  I have no idea.

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Go ahead

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Obviously we aren't home...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO/OPS: This wouldn’t be the first time that they used anti-time

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  So it would appear.  ::ponders::  Right star date, wrong place...

CSO_KTor says:
Duty_Ops: Ensign, please beam 1 cubic meter of nebular gas into storage compartment 3 of science lab 1.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: There is an entry in the database...The Glomel is a small region of space where the race established colonies. It's right near here according to this.

XO_Farrel says:
::Feels in the dark:: CO/OPS: Wait a minute...so if Q was aboard...then you mean that wasn't a dream?

CTO_Peters says:
TO: Is it part of the Federation?

OPS_Mades says:
::checks the readouts and thinks "What does that mean again"  hits another key and there is the answer, he lets out a bit of a shout::  Ah-ha!  ::calms::  CO:  Um, I am reading ::checks the screen:: chronitron particles sir.

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Not that I can find...it seems to be independent.

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Do we have a picture of these beasties?

OPS_Mades says:
<Duty OPS>  CSO: Aye ::completes the order::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Checking now...they look quite normal actually... ::shows her the pictures in the database::

CSO_KTor says:
*Tech_Johnson*: Technician, please analyze the quantum signature of the gas sample in compartment 3.

CSO_KTor says:
<Johnson> *CSO*: Yes sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
Beta FCO: When I give the order, take us out of the nebula

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks at the figure on her console.:: TO: Kind of handsome I suppose if you like tall dark and handsome...

FCO_Teasley says:
<beat FCO>FCO: Aye sir

TO_Sky says:
::shrugs:: CTO: Not really...

CSO_KTor says:
<Johnson> ::Sends results to CSO::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::shifts wait on legs listening to the conversations:: Self: This is starting to get old.

CSO_KTor says:
FCO_Teasley: Sir, the nebula is still in the same quantum flux as previously.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Interesting, those are only encountered if there was temporal   

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
  vortex for time travel

CTO_Peters says:
CEO:  It's this conglomerate we should be worrying about.  I wish I knew more about them.  ::frowns::

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Meaning?

CSO_KTor says:
FCO_Teasley: We may or may not be in our universe. We cannot determine that until we leave the nebula.

CTO_Peters says:
FCO: If we leave the nebula, I recommend Yellow alert.

XO_Farrel says:
::wonders why the captain is so quiet and goes back to drinking, feeling embarrassed again as she remembers some of the things she did in that dream.  Is glad for Mades changing the topic:: OPS: Chromatons?  oh yes...

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Teasley to the captain

OPS_Mades says:
::keeps scanning, getting to like this::  CO/XO:  They seem to be mostly concentrated around where the shuttle was.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Or a cloaking device was used

FCO_Teasley says:
CSO: Understood

CTO_Peters says:
<edit out line to CEO>

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*FCO*: Go ahead Mr. Teasley

XO_Farrel says:
::Wonders what they're looking for, and takes a seat on the Maximus' warp nacelle::

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Sir, we've done some scans of the gas in the area, and they’re still in flux.  The only way to find out if we can get home is to leave the nebula

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles:: CO: Let's see  ::walks over to where the shuttle was to see if he walks into the shuttle or not::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Hali, Chronitons are used to create a temporal vortex for time travel, and are also involved with cloaking devices not just with chroniton torpedoes

OPS_Mades says:
::walks right through the spot where the shuttle was::  CO/XO: Guess it isn't cloaked.  ::smiles::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::calmly takes everything in::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*FCO*: Sort of like when the Medici went through?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Well then Mr. Mades it time traveled

OPS_Mades says:
::closes the tricorder skillfully::  CO: I guess that answers your question then.

CTO_Peters says:
::Turns around just stretching a bit waiting for the FCO to make a decision.:: CIV:  Stephen, I didn't see you enter the bridge.

TO_Sky says:
::glances around the bridge at everyone up there::

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*:  Something like that sir

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO/OPS: Then we must exit for the Bridge

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: I wasn't going to disturb anyone doing his job.

OPS_Mades says:
::nods sharply::

XO_Farrel says:
::nods and stands up, forgetting her coffee mug on the Maximus' warp nacelle::

CTO_Peters says:
::Smiles::  CIV:  Your not a disturbance...

TO_Sky says:
::turns her attention back to her console::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO:  Hali, are we forgetting something?

XO_Farrel says:
CO: I don't think so sir.  We've covered every possibility I can think of.  The only thing left to do now is try leaving the nebula...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::nodding his head towards the cup:: XO: That over there Cmdr.

XO_Farrel says:
::Slowly turns her head, thinking is it another time dist-:: CO: Oh.  That.  ::jogs over and picks it up:: Sorry sir I forgot...

CIV-Lamberson says:
::shrugs:: CTO: At the moment I would probably be in the way.

CTO_Peters says:
::Shrugs::  CIV:  Nah, A marine in the way?

TO-Sky says:
::listens to the light banter but keeps her head down working::

CIV-Lamberson says:
::chuckles:: CTO: Zoe I'm an assault specialist and a combat engineer not a tactical officer.

CTO_Peters says:
::Grins:: CIV:  Then you're in the right place..  We don't know what is out there.  Some Glomel is waiting to attack us.

XO_Farrel says:
::As the three of them walk to the bridge, can't think of much to say.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*FCO*: Plot a course for the flux *CTO*: Yellow Alert Mr. Peters

FCO_Teasley says:
*CO*: Aye sir

CTO_Peters says:
*CO*:  Aye Sir Yellow alert.  ::Hits the klaxons and mutes them.  Yellow flashes all over the place.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::enters the TL along with Mades and Farrel:: TL: Bridge

CIV-Lamberson says:
CTO: Do what? Are we talking ship to ship or boarding party?

FCO_Teasley says:
::starts plotting a course::

XO_Farrel says:
::Jumps as she thinks she is seeing colors again...but realizes it's just the yellow alert and continues on her way::

CTO_Peters says:
::Shrugs:: CIV:  Who knows?  Have you heard of these Glomel before?  Friend or Foe?

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Er, Commander Teasley, the whole nebula is in flux.   CSO:  Right?

CSO_KTor says:
CEO/FCO: Correct sir.

CIV-Lamberson says:
CTO: Not that I can recall. ::tries to think back to some of the pirate groups he has encountered::

OPS_Mades says:
::follows the group back to the bridge::

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: We just follow out on the course that brought us in

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: So... ah... anything in the databanks changed for the Medici?

CEO_Russel says:
FCO:  Why don't we just exit the nebula and try and contact the nearest Starbase?

OPS_Mades says:
::shakes his head in the negative, a mix of sadness and relief::  XO: Not last I checked.  But I did get a gift before they left.  My uncle sent me a copy of his logs.  ::smiles::

FCO_Teasley says:
CEO: That's a thought to

TO-Sky says:
::wishes someone would just make up their mind instead of hiding here like a bunch of cowards::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Oh, then I guess you will get to know him, in some small way at least...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*FCO* Just get us out of the Nebula Mr. Teasley. I don't want to stay in here any longer. I want to get home
