Host Tim says:
The Dublin has been trying to deal with the Earth's destruction and determine why they've been accused of firing a "Doomsday" weapon.

Host Tim says:
Messages from the Mars facility have been demanding information from the Dublin... which they don't have.

Host Tim says:
SRS has been dumping a lot of data into the computer.

Host Tim says:
<<<Resume Mission: "The rabbit went down what hole?>>>

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::sorting through the sensor data::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge, watching his crew carefully, making sure they're keeping their composure in spite of what might have happened::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: This is strange skipper.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: INCOMING MESSAGES FROM SURVIVING SHIPS AND MARS ARE CONTINUOUS AND DEMAND MORE INFORMATION.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::in cargo bay two making sure some of the spare parts are being transported to another Starfleet vessel:: Engineers: Good job people, with these parts they should be able to have their life support up and running.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Besides the fact that we just lost the core of the Federation? Try to amuse me...what is it?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::narrows her eyes trying to 'rid' herself of everyone's upset feelings so she can concentrate on finding what the hell happened, steps forward closer to the view screen::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: It would appear that we are 1 year into the future according to these positional readings of the stars.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Rhianna, I have Mister Quinn on duty below decks. Please assume his station, and communications.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Is that before or after we synchronized our chronometer with the nearest time beacon?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::turns around to look at Kizlev and nods, then takes a seat, looking over the data on the console::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: It would appear to have happened after we entered the Sol system.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: It would appear that the spatial disturbance had a temporal component to it.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::keeps on going through that list and sending emergency supplies to the most damaged ships:: Self: I need to hit the gym more often, all this lifting is hurting my back.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
FCO/CTO: That spatial disturbance we spotted earlier...I want to get as close as possible to it. Track it. Find a warp or ion trail signature. It may be the source of this little quagmire we're stuck in.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*Bridge*: This is Delgado, we finished resupplying the Tirpitz, do you need me on the bridge?

Host Tim says:
<FCO>CO: Aye sir, moving toward the disturbance.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the CO and relays the orders to the FCO::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: The disturbances trail is fading fast Skipper all I’m reading now is a faint ion trail.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: SEVERAL VESSEL HAVE LEFT UTOPIA PLANITIA AND MARS TO INTERCEPT DUBLIN

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Full impulse. Lock a tractor beam on the area of disturbance the instant we're in range.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Aye skipper.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*CEO*: Your presence would be welcome, Commander.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::relays order to the FCO and locks the tractor beam onto the disturbance::

Host Tim says:
<FCO>CO: Reaching 800 meters from edge of former disturbance in two minutes sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*CO*: I am on my way. Delgado out.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::makes ready::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUBLIN IS PULLED INTO THE CENTER OF WHERE THE SPATIAL DISTURBANCE WAS; ALL SEEMS TO "BLINK" AND THEN NOTHING SEEMS CHANGED.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
ALL: Status report! What is happening?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::wonders what happens:: *engineering*: I am on my way to the bridge, is all fine down there?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: We appear to be back in our own time.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins running full scans and synchronizes the ships clock::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::wonders why his screen just cut off:: CNS: Raise the view screen, if you can get power.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::blinks::  CO:  We are...getting communications from Headquarters now.  On earth.  ::working on the view screen...

Host Tim says:
ACTION: EARTH APPEARS WHERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE WITH NORMAL VESSEL TRAFFIC

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
<engineering>*CEO*: We read some chronotrons traces in the warp core Chief, looks like we moved in time. Twice.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::rubs is forehead ridges, feels a headache coming on::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::stares in silence at the screen for a moment:: CNS: Rhianna....get HQ at San Francisco on the line...tell them we have something Temporal Investigations will definitely need to know about.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: All systems appear to be functioning normally.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
*Engineering*: Interesting, run a level 3 diagnostic, and keep me updated. I will report to the bridge. Let the powers to be sort it out.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper I have run that ion signature through LCARS and it is Kantrell.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: You're telling me that their technology has excelled over our own...in just one year's time?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: It would appear so skipper.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::arrives on the bridge and sighs with relief when he sees good ole mother earth on the main screen:: Self: So we have some time to solve this mess.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Foolishness...the Kantrell had to have some kind of help. ::his voice falls a touch lower:: ...or there is something they are not revealing to us.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: It appears we translated through time twice. I ordered a diagnostic done, once we have data about chronotron decay we should be able to know a little more.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir...except they are ahead of us.  The reports from them are saying they know a spatial disturbance at our location.  Opening the comm...  ::makes the appropriate actions to get the comm on::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CO: As our Vulcan friends say when you remove the obvious what ever remains however improbable is the answer.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::glances at Gael::  CEO:  Indeed we do.  But why would be a good question.  Not to be ungrateful, but...

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::hears the CTO and wonders if Sherlock Holmes was Vulcan::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::shakes his head........ I sound Vulcan he thinks::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods to Rhianna, then looks around at the others:: ALL: Well, it seems we have 365 standard days, if not less, to prevent Earth from destruction... CTO: Have a security team visit the ambassador, and ask him to visit me in my ready room.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: I think we are in a privileged position to prevent that from happening. But you are right first we should understand why the Kantrell want Earth blown up.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and dispatches a security team to invite the Ambassador for chat::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::notices a flashing on his console:: CO: The Ambassador is on his way skipper.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Or they may not like our cuisine. I visited some parlors on Earth that definitively needs a little explosive.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Sometimes, the motive is not as important as the intended act. All I care about right now is that they 'will' do it. That will be our focus for the time being...to stop them.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Steps off the turbolift in a huff sending angry looks at the security team::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Hands on hips:: CO: Just what is the meaning of this?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods to the security team dismissing them::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::stands and regards Nuyev:: Security: You weren't supposed to rough him up! Return to your posts, gentlemen. Nuyev: My apologies, sir.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Looks around and sees Earth on the view screen; jaw drops open then shuts hard::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Sure but if we know why, we may use tactics that are a tad less crude than let's blow them up before they blow us up. With all due respect sir. ::almost grins::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::watches the Ambassador’s face::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles:: CEO: Humans have fragile stomachs.  You must treat them gently.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Points at the view screen:: CO: This requires an explanation.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Moves to behind the CO's chair and stares::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: I wish I had two stomachs like the CTO, but again I'd gain too much weight a little too fast.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::gestures to the ready room:: Nuyev: It seems we're all going to be victims of the Kantrell nearly a year from now. My office, please?

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::turns to Captain:: CO: Captain... ::stops to look again at the view screen, shakes his head and moves toward the ready room:: Of course.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks at Kizlev then over to Nuyev wondering why he came out of his shell now::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: The bridge is yours. Inform me when you get a hold of Starfleet Command. ::goes to the RR with Nuyev::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::continues to watch the Ambassador, his bewilderment and confusion seem very genuine::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Aye Sir...

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::stands to follow the CO::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
Duty_FCO:  Park us in orbit Mister Helm.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::enters the RR, and allows the ambassador to have a seat first before sitting down:: Nuyev: You have the appearance of a man who requires a drink, yes?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::tilts her head as she listens to newest reports then turns to towards Gael::  CEO: Sir, headquarters is reporting that our ship vanished from their sensors for approximately 31 minutes 10 seconds then returned suddenly.  ::realizes that report sounds too Vulcan and smirks::

Host Tim says:
<FCO>CEO: Aye sir... orbiting Earth. :: said with a very big grin::

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::whipers:: CO: All traces of the spatial disturbance are gone. I also think out guest knows more than he is letting on.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Sits heavily and nods:: CO: Please.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
ALL: And please enjoy the view, we have an year to avoid that this becomes just debris.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: House choice, or do you have a preference? ::goes to his personal replicator in the nearby alcove::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Miss Jakiel, can you ask them to send us their sensor logs? We may cross reference them with ours.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::moves to tactical::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::waves distractedly:: CO: Whatever you're having. Please, an explanation... I saw the Earth's debris with my own eyes.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: All signs of the spatial disturbance are gone now Chief.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins preparing a report for SFI::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::orders two glasses of cool Bolian tonic water for them both, and offers one to Nuyev:: Nuyev: We became the victims of a temporal abduction into the future, sir. I'm not sure if it was intended, or accidental. But we were there, a year from now, then came back into the present.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO: Of course.  COM: SFH: This is the USS Dublin reporting.  We have been monitoring your communications and now would like to request your sensor logs and we will do the same so we may cross reference them.  ::thinks a bit more::  Thank you.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Takes the drink and sips:: CO: But who did it? And why?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::nods to the CTO:: ALL: I guess we are going to have a lot of sensors logs reading in the next days.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: Respectfully, I am not in the mood to make assumptions at this point regarding motives, but we are fairly certain it was the Kantrell that was responsible.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO: They are complying, Sir.  Information pouring in.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Looks at the Andorian:: CO: How? Why? That's not possible... They don't have that technology.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::begins to wonder how to begin even explaining what has happened::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Perfect, when some higher up wants to talk to the CO route the communication immediately to the ready room. I am glad I am not wearing red at this time.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Looks at his drink and gulps it almost emptying the glass::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::takes a quick pull of some of his water, then looks at the Russian over the rim of his glass:: Nuyev: Are you sure? A wise sovereign keeps his aces hidden from his enemy, especially the diplomats of his enemy. Perhaps we ought to journey back to Kantrell?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::remembers a time not too long ago::  CEO: It can be dangerous to sport that color, yes.  I will do that if they so request.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS/CTO: Do you have any theory about why the Kantrell want Earth destroyed and how they pulled that off?

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Eyes narrow:: CO: What are you implying? That I know something about this?  If you will remember I suggested that trip at lest 30 minutes ago.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: All of the Diplomatic and Intelligence reports i have read indicate them to be a passive species.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: If they were to pull something like this off then they would need outside help.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Places the almost empty glass on the Captain's desk:: CO: Though I doubt the Kantrell have anything to do with this I would certainly accompany you back to Erya II.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO: If why find out how we were sent back or if we were sent back on purpose we might be able to answer that.  Perhaps the Kantrell were those that put us here now?  We need to look at the last communications with the translator and dissect those.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: Lao Tzu once said fear the wrath of the quiet man, so maybe we did something to tickle them off and become genocidal. But it is hard to believe.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head, and sets down his glass on the desk, sitting back casually in his chair:: Nuyev: That is the last thing I am implying. I think you were duped, just as we all were regarding their intentions for wanting to join the Federation. Actually, I want to know if you are aware if any alliances they may have that may be considered hostile.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: You have a point. Anything you can do about it?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: Suz Tzu also said choose the ground and let your enemy come to you.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Starts to speak then  pauses::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::nods::  CEO:  I have been studying and acquainting myself with that language.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: I believe we should look to who has the most to gain from manipulating the Kantrell.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::his antennae perk up, noticing the hesitation:: Nuyev: Ambassador?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: They must have been twins, Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu. Although I would not take seriously someone named Sun.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::chuckles at the CEO`s comment::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
CO: There were indications that they had just met a "new" species, new to them… that made many promises of helping the Kantrell in all ways.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Ordering you to start such task is way above my authority, but if you should volunteer, who am I to say no? ::winks::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
CO: They chose the Federation because their new friends made some uneasy.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::opens a comm channel on his panel and sends a one word message "Dreadnaught" and then closes the channel::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: But you don't know who these new friends are, correct?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: As they say on Vulcan, I concur. There is a possibility they have been manipulated.

Host TIM says:
ACTION: SFH HAVING REVIEWED THE DUBLIN'S DATA HAVE JUST ISSUED ORDERS FOR THE DUBLIN TO RETURN TO ERYA II; A SUPPORT GROUP WILL FOLLOW IN ONE WEEK

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: We too may be the victims of this manipulation.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::chuckles::  CEO:  Volunteering would be my pleasure, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: By all means, do as you wish.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CEO: New orders have just been sent Chief.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Shakes head:: CO: They never called them by name nor indicated from whence they came.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::becomes serious as looks at her console and stops the urge to look at Wolf::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: Thank you Mister Wolf, please transmit them to the Captain.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods and transfers them to the Skipper in the RR::

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Looks at the Captain's desk as the console beeps an incoming message::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::spots the transmission sent to his desk computer from the CTO:: Nuyev: Seems command agrees with you. We're going back to Erya II. ::rises from his chair and exits the RR::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::turns her chair around and looks directly at Wolf::  CTO: Lieutenant, did you just send a code?

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
::Stands with the Captain and follows:: CO: Now?

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS Yes to SFI

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Confer with Mr. Quinn and his OPS people about our supply readiness. If we're prepared, then... CTO/FCO: Set course for Erya II...maximum warp.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
Nuyev: If you need to return to Earth, now would be the time to do so, sir.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
::nods at the CEO swearing at himself under his breathe::

Host Tim says:
<FCO>CO: Aye sir, max warp to Erya II, once we’ve left the Sol system of course.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  I know to whom.  ::feels anger well up thinking of that department, glances at Delgado this time::  We can speak later.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
CO: Captain, I would prefer to go with you if you don't mind.

CTO_Lt_Wolf says:
CNS: I think we need to talk counselor.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::nods:: Nuyev: That is your choice, Mister Ambassador. I believe we may require your assistance.

Host Ambassador_Nuyev says:
CO: If there is nothing else I'll be in my quarters working some more on getting the universal translator to fully accept the Kantrell language.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CTO:  We do, Mister Wolf.  ::turns back to her console as she hears more reports::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::curious about the CNS statement, decides to review the communications log::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: AS THE DUBLIN LEAVES THE SOL SYSTEM THE SHIP GOES TO WARP 9.6
