Host Tim says:
The U.S.S. Dublin is 1 day from the refuge mentioned by the Vulcan leader Multak. The now 4 ship Vulcan fleet is one hour away having gone by Lyat IV checking to see if the Cormanii visited there looking for the Dublin.

Host Tim says:
As the Dublin has approached the unnamed planet scans show a high level of technology with many former UFP members’ vessels present.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::enters the bridge and heads for his console::

CIV_LtJG_Chitwa says:
::sitting at the Science console, checking the sensors::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::at the command chair on the bridge, anxious to link up with more friendly forces::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::in the turbolift headed for the bridge::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::sits at his consoles and starts pushing buttons::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::is feeling anxious to see the outcome of using the machine, walks over to stand next to Kizlev and crosses arms::  CO: This has to work...  ::keeps thinking about when she was kidnapped and just wants to get back to her own time::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::takes off the helmet of the radiation suit and adjusts his hair::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks over to the CEO and points at the helmet and mouths:: CEO: Can I have that?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO:  Lieutenant, your stylist deserves a tip.  ::smiles in jest to the engineer::  Seriously, how is the hookup coming?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: I'll gladly partake in your optimism once I see it happen. For now, we have to remain ready to accept a lesser outcome.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: You want to hold my helmet, Ensign. ::underlines the Ensign:: no problem:: tosses him the helmet::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head stubbornly::  CO: No...I do not have to accept that.  It will happen.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::grabs it like a little kid and smiles:: CEO: Thank you so much, Lieutenant!

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
ALL: Now that Gael is here, what's our status overall?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: De nada...
CO: I think I can activate the device, although I am not 100% sure where it will bring us, however we cannot activate it with only the Dublin as power source. And that is a problem.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::breaths onto the helmet and cleans it with his uniform before trying it on::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO: I saw on sensors that the Vulcan ships are an hour away.  I will feel better when they are with us.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: I agree. I rather have their weapons than ours for the moment.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CTO: Would you like the rest of the suit as well? Christmas is nearby and I feel generous.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks happy:: CEO: If you don't need it. ::smiles::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO:  How has the diagnostic testing gone?  Is there any way to know if the machine will work as we want it to?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: So how do we address the problem? CNS: Good, as will I. ::turns and looks up at the CTO:: CTO: Explain what the helmet is for, Ensign.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks up from his console:: CO: It's my new signature look, sir.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::wonders if the CTO has been under too much pressure lately and makes a sign to the CNS:: CO: I think we can borrow energy from our friends the Vulcans...if they are willing to donate. It would be five warp cores...and that should be enough.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::takes off the helmet and puts it under his console before retuning his attention to his console::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::raises an eyebrow and shares a confidential shake of her head with Gael about their strange tactical officer::  CEO: I would think they would be quite willing to help us further.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::turns from the CTO, trying not to give what he just saw a second thought, then leans in and whispers:: CNS: I'm putting him up for a psyche evaluation first thing after this mission.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: How do we safely channel that much power into the device?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO/CNS: After the mess on Morngu, our deflector dish is on steroid and we have a triple system of energy conduits running from there to engineering, I think it should be enough....those Cormanii are not scared of energy, last time we humans produced such a power guzzler it was called a Hummer and it was in the late 20th century.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir, I had already planned on that.  ::gives O’Neill a significant look::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::smiles back at all the attention::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO/CO: Where will be using our 'borrowed' machine?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Are we within comm range of the planet we're heading towards?

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks around the bridge and back to the CO:: CO: Sir, how do we know if they're friendly?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::moves over to sit at communications and checks::  CO:  Yes, Sir, we are.  Shall we attempt to contact them?  It seems strange that they have ignored us so far.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: In the same relative position of the Cormanii.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CEO: Do you think this is the only machine?  I would like to think the Cormanii will be stranded in this time.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes, open a channel.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: I doubt it. Not this far into the future. Maybe if we make their first experiment with it fail, they will not use it anymore.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::monitors his consoles just in case the people on the planet aren't friendly::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::a few finger taps and she sees the channel open:: CO:  Ready, sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Sanctuary OPS: This Commander Kizlevirlar Hy'Qiin of the Federation starship Dublin, do you receive?

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Of course we receive your communications. Why wouldn't we?

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
Self: Something doesn't seem right.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks back at Kizlev at that kind of answer::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Our scans indicate your vessel is in need of repair. Will you be needing our services?

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::glances at Rhianna, and says quietly:: CNS: A touch on the rude side, huh? COM: HTQ13: Have you been informed by Captain Multak of our approach to your world? We do indeed require assistance with repairs and tactical support if possible.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::sits up at the word tactical:: Self: I hope they don't touch my systems.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::says quietly:: CO: They are, but we need the help.  We cannot be choosing if we have to beg.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::seeing that the CO and the CNS are otherwise occupied and they do not need his services anymore, turns around:: CTO: Could I have my helmet back Mister O'Neill?

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::grabs the helmet from the floor. kissed it good bye:: CEO: Of course, sir. ::hands him the helmet::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: I believe Captain Multak did send us a message of that nature. ::sounds of PADDS being shuffled:: Ah yes... Here it is.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Sir, when the Vulcans arrive it would be very good if you asked their engineering crews get in touch with me to coordinate the power release. Otherwise if you are busy, I have a device to calibrate.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: Good, is there anything we might be able to do to help you in the meantime once we're in orbit?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::notes something interesting on the sensors:: CO/CEO: They have significant power sources on the planet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Slave short range sensors to your console, Ensign. What do sensors read from that planet?

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: There is no mention of how our assistance is to be paid. Do you have a preference?

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::checks scans:: CO: Sir, there are major power sources on the planet, but they seemed to be used by a factory of some kind. Not sure what they're building.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: What you are most in need of, such as replicators, industrial logistics, medical supplies?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CNS: Do they have a way to transfer the hundreds of terawatts we need from the planet to us?

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Captain Multak has recently contacted us and asked if we had mobile power generator capable of massive output. Is this in connection with your requirements?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
Self: They sound more like Ferengi.  CO:  I wonder if they have been bothered by the Cormanii too?

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Apparently you don't know the nature of our operations here... there is little you have that we can't produce.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO/CNS: Perhaps they are marshalling their resources to enhance their planetary defenses.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a closer look at data coming in and then nods her head in O’Neill's direction::  CO:  That is a distinct possibility.  Maybe they and the Vulcans could also be of mutual help to each other.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: Maybe. I say we should take a closer look. ::checks his phaser and smiles::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: Since we appear to be on the same side, why not enlighten us on your operations? You may be mistaken about our ability to assist.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO/CEO:  Their power sources and resources must be excellent which would make sense.  I wonder if it is all from indigenous sources.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::checks the data from the sensors once again:: CO: Sir, scans also indicate that there are Type XX planetary phasers.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
Self: I just hope they remain friendly

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: This planet, HTQ13, was founded to provide highly technical products for sale in this region.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  If they are preparing for a large defense they must have enemies that have bothered them before.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CTO: Type...XX? Seems a great deal has changed in only ten years. The best we have in the past are XII phasers.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: Affirmative, sir. I wonder if we can buy those Type XX phasers.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::starts to drool at the mention of type XX::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: While we are an open society and sell to mostly the UFP members though we do deal with non-allied customers.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO: Non-allied customers like our angry friends?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
:;shakes his head thinking about type XX phasers and the energy requirements they would need, then he looks at the CTO and  pictures where he could put the capacitors for those weapons and smiles brightly::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Don't count on it. I doubt even Space Dock One from Earth could handle that level of power output. ::considers if it would be pushing the temporal prime directive too far:: COM: HTQ13: Scan our ship. Is there a possibility you have compatible upgrades on sale for a Norway Class vessel?

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::senses something of what Gael is thinking and has to try hard not laugh::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::looks at Kizlev and hopes the answer to his question is yes::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks disappointed but still has a slimmer of hope::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#:: Looks down at the PADD and looks surprised:: COM: Dublin: This Vulcan request on your behalf is odd... and asks for a large amount of portable power.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: I was wondering about that, Rhianna. But if we do return to our time with superior technology, Temporal Investigations may interfere with our shore leave together... ::frowns::

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: Yes, the Vulcans have a need for more power systems. They did not provide specifics?

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#:: Chuckles:: COM: Dublin: Hardware is relatively easy to upgrade. The software for your vessel however...

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head:: CO: We cannot have superior weapons, but better energy supplies?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
:: as the bridge seems busy with a discussion about upgrade when he has to deal with a very unstable time machine he leaves the center of the bridge and moves in the back opening his console's display::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Captain Multak stated that specifics would be provided later.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO: Whatever we do here to go back and save Earth I do not think they will too closely.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: Software...is there a problem? You no longer use LCARS, I take it? I assure you the system is quite modular. Upgrades are not particularly difficult with the right technical support.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::hears them offering software and knows just how much that could help::  CO:  I can work with integrating the software with our systems.  ::looks back at Delgado too::

Host Multak says:
@COM: Dublin: Captain Kizlev we've been reviewing the specifications of the recovered device and have some recommendations for your CEO.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: By all means. If you could handle the bio-neural gel packs on the Geneva, this ship's computer should be novice work for you. ::winks at her:: COM: Multak: Understood. Please speak with Commander Delgado directly about the details.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
CO: Sir with all due respect...right now our priority is to go back in the past. We do not need fancy stuff for that. Only raw power. If they can give us portable power plants powerful enough and juice to make them run, if think we have enough.

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: For the type of software upgrade you'll have to go to Vulcan and get those from the UFSF. We don't deal in UFSF software. They discourage it.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::wonders why they are trying to sell them everything but the power they need::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
OPS: I will take Multak comm on my station please.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Yes, the device is the top priority. COM: HTQ13: Are the power units requested prepared? I can forget about the computer upgrade, but if you have photon or quantum torpedoes for sale, I have a tactical officer that would be interested.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks up with a big grin:: Self: Please let them have one.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::Start coordinating with the Vulcans the details for the distribution of power to the device::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#COM: Dublin: Hmmm, weapons. We can provide you with what your vessel was designed to have in the way of armament.  The power units will be ready by the time you get here.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CTO: Ensign, transmit a requisition request to HTQ13 for what the armory needs to fill out our warhead stock.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::is relieved that the 'trade negotiations' are going so well::

Host HTQ13_OPS says:
#:: Looks away to talk to someone off screen:: COM: Dublin: Captain Multak assures me that they will be responsible for all expenses for what you need.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: Aye, aye, Captain. ::beams happily as he pushes buttons::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE VULCAN FLEET ARRIVES ALONG SIDE THE DUBLIN

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Delgado says:
::reads the Vulcan suggestions and opens up the device simulation to integrate them with the interface prepared by its team.::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::enters a requisition for torpedoes and materials needed to fix the phasers::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::smiles::  CO: Our Vulcan friends are more than we ever expected.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: HTQ13: Thank you for your business. We'll be in orbit shortly to take on supplies.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes, and a good thing too. I doubt that planet accepts Federation credits from our time.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: COMM FROM HTQ13 CLOSES.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  I am sure they are much devalued.

Host Multak says:
@COM: Dublin: I presume you have completed your transactions with the planet Captain?

Host Multak says:
@COM: Kizlev: My Engineers are working with your Mister Delgado and I feel certain we can resolve any problems.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
COM: Multak: Yes, Captain. They have the power cores prepared for us. I must remind you that we may have only one shot at this. No time for tests, so we'll have to get the power transfer perfected the first time at it.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill_ says:
::sends the requisition and hopes he gets to examine the torpedoes::

Host Multak says:
@COM: Kizlev: I fully understand Captain.
