Host SM_Lilia says:
Each thing in this Universe has a right time and a right place to exist in. But, it is not as unusual as one may think, to find things when and where they are not meant to be. It is even possible to see things never meant to be at all.
Host SM_Lilia says:
The problem lies in deciding where and what is supposed to Be. Who can dare take that decision?
Host SM_Lilia says:
Yet one must be made ...
Host SM_Lilia says:

Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The CNS, CTO and FCO find themselves in a resting chamber filled with curtain and cushions. Kalath is not there but they were just served a big meal and some blue liquid for a drink
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The CIV and Dr Sparks however do not have these commodities. They are in a small chamber on the Lochness
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The rest of the uncounscious crew is there as well. The CO is just waking up
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Paces the small chamber restlessly, she eyes the chamber closed entrance from time to time as she considers the best possible escape route::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@:: sits in his quarters pouring over ship assignments - keeping track of what few allies he has left in this universe::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::scans the food and drink to make sure it is safe to eat and not intoxicating either::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::slowely comes to live almost from a deep sleep begins to sit up he is rubbing his eyes, he appears to have been out on the floor wherever this is?::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::sat in a chair deep in thought, almost as if he is trying to understand the meaning of everything::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::stands up and throws the display device aside before exiting his qurters and heading for the detainees chamber::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::mutters:: Self: I wonder if they had anything else to drink ::looks up:: CTO: Well the food is safe, though that is romulan ale as Kalath said.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::he eyesight is still very blurry very slowely clearing up, he tries to look around but is having a difficult time::
Host Dr_Flar says:
@::the CMO of the Lochness enters the room. Eyes Ivanova but then ignores her. Goes up to the CO:: CO: Your reading indicated you were waking up. How do you feel? ::scans him::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: How long do you think it would take to be able to work that saviour
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks up and gives the CNS a smile:: CNS: Romulan Ale? I thought you said it was safe ::shakes his head slightly, stands and walks over to her side:: I dont know, but it seems as if it would take years to fully understand it
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Dr. Flar: well not really with it at the moment, and who are you? I don't recognize the voice. having trouble see who you are you are a big blur
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CNS: I expect we could get the general workings of it understood fairly quickly but to actually wield it in order to change time to the degree that it has already been effected, I just dont know.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Rolls her eyes at the CMO's back, she sighs rather dramatically and then moves to stand behind the CMO. She eyes the Captain from behind his back::
Host Dr_Flar says:
@CO: Your reading are stable. welcome back to the world of the living. Captain Timrok will be here shortly to explain everything ::nods and leaves, not before eying the CIV once more::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::attempts to stand on his feet, stumbles alittle almost falls but stays on his feet::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Self: Captain Timrok? did he say?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Smirks in amusement:: CO: Need help?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: We only need alter things very slightly, and i am guessing as long as we remain civil house guests we will have as long as we need to work out the saviour
Host Kalath says:
::enters the dining chamber. She changed clothes are hairstyle in the mean time:: CNS/CTO: I trust you are comfortable now
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::enters the room right on queue and stops to eyeball the newly awakened officer::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: oh your here, yes could use some help, where are we? what the devil is going on?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Turns around as she hears the opening doors, she groans as she notices the new arrival:: Timrok: Not you again.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::nods and takes what appears to be a grape and pops it into his mouth before turning to Kalath:: Kalath: Yes thankyou.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: i think i might be able to answer that question, CIV: who did you expect -santa clause?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: I have had some business to attend to but  now I can continue your tour and discuss your future with us. We are ready to offer much
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to Kalath:: Kalath: Yes thank you, though some beverage that is non alcoholic would be wonderful. ::pauses:: Kalath I am sure you will appreciate our desire to learn more about your culture and the very saviour that brought us here.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Timrok: Who? Hm.. Never mind that, how soon can we leave this place?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: Commander yes that would be a good idea? report?
Host Kalath says:
CNS: I thought alcohol would make you feel more ... happy. But you can have anything you like. Just ask the servants
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CIV: the room, the ship, or this Dimension?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Timrok: This room would be a good start?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CO: its Captain actually ::squints at the CO:: still feeling a little disoriented?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I would very much like to have a tour of this facility.
Host Kalath says:
::smiles:: CTO: Certainly. But would you like me to leave you alone to finish your meal first?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::his eyes clear a little further:: XO: Timrok, what are you talking about Captain now, where is the Elara? when did you get promoted? thats impossible in just this short time?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: Actually, that's not your beloved XO. From what I figured we somehow got trapped in a different dimension..
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: I am keen to learn more about this place too, I think I can wait to eat later ::turns to the CTO for confirmation::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I am fine for the time being thank you ::looks at the CNS:: and its never a good idea to keep a lady waiting ::smiles::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: is that why I am feeling this way? How did we get here?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to the CTO and stands from her chair, then look to Kalath::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Shrugs:: CO: Only bozo over here can answer that. ::Gestures at Timrok's direction:: Seems he wants our help to take over the world or something like that.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: care to take a little walk? if you are able? ::invites the CO to leave the room::
Host Kalath says:
::nods:: CNS/CTO: Very well, your food will be kept in time stasis till you return. folllow me please ::gores towards a big door that opens to reveal a large lift. She waits for the rest to enter::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Timrok: ::just looks at Timrok, coming to realize what this is all about after the CIV remark, walk with Timrok:: You have got to be kidding, perhaps you really don't know me do you?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks at the CNS as he makes for the lift:: CNS: They even manipulate time to keep their food fresh ::enters the lift and waits::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Sighs in frustration, she scowls and sits down at the floor. She leans her back against one of the walls and closes her eyes::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: And why shouldn't we? you are not altering anthing, just slowing the passage of time of the food in relation to us. quite natural
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::enters the lift and nods to the CTO:: 
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: no I don’t, why would ?
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The lift doors close and it starts moving up at ever faster speeds though maintaining passanger confort limits::
Host Kalath says:
CNS/CTO: I am sure you will love this
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: Oh I’m sorry, it wasn’t a criticism, just an observation, in our reality things were very different you see.
Host Kalath says:
CNS/CTO: This building was one of the first in this city. Built by religious men over 200 years
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: help you do what exactly I know nothing of this timeline, I am only interested in my own, I want to me and the CIV to be returned to our own!
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: what function does this building hold now?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::realising the CO is no more trusting than the CIV:: CO: I’m afraid that’s impossible
Host Kalath says:
CNS: It was a monument and a shrine to the Saviour
Host Kalath says:
CNS: Now it will be your temple ::smiles::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stands quietly enjoying the ride:: Kalath: We are getting a temple?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::gives the CTO a worried glance::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: I doubt that highly you brung me here surely you have the means to send me back!
Host Kalath says:
@ACTION: The doors to the small room open once more. In comes another officer in an uniform identical to that of Timrok. Some may recognize him as Peter Pazoski
Host Kalath says:
CTO/CNS: You will be almost as Gods as I have told you before
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Peter: Peter! your are here too! ::then realizes the uniform:: no you are not the Peter Pazoski I know are you?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::gives everyone in the room a small nod and turns to Timrok:: Timrok: Sir we may have a problem, the Wirathians know someone tapped into the saviour and have ordered all ships in find out who it was
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The lift stops and the doors open to a set of stairs. Kalath exits and starts going up the stairs till she finds a door on the ceiling. She opens it and enters::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: your situation is as grave as ours, when the device was activated in your dimension it set in course a sequence of events which led to you being brought here into this dimension, the only course of action left open to us is to restore the damege you did to this timeline - therefore meaning that you never had to be brought here, or alternatively we all live out ur lives in this reality untill the day we die, wh
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CO / CIV: especially when the Wirathians find out what is going on
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@XO: how long do we have
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::gives the CO a look:: CO: No, the person you know as Peter Pazoski is back in your reality.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::follows after Kalath:: CNS: Somehow I never saw me as godlike material.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::follows Kalath:: CTO: I was thinking the same about myself.
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: On the other side of the door is a large dome, certainly the top of the building. From there thousands ok Km can be seen. All filled with buildings of a wondrous society
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: I did? I did not damage this timeline, the last this I can remember is a meeting with a archeologist a Dr. Sparks back in my timeline?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @Timrok: Its hard to say, a few hours, maybe less, especially if we stay in the area.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: perhaps not you personally and for involving you in this i am sorry but involved you are and there is no turning back now
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks out over the buildings for a moment::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::finds it hard to put his thoughts into words:: Kalath: This is, certainly a change to the last time we saw the surface
Host Kalath says:
CTO/CNS: Yes and it was all because of you. Aren't you proud?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: the damage was done from your reality. by a device the Wirathians placed there, a trap if you like
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: you are not saying that me and the CIV have to live out our days in this universe, perhaps we can work together is figuring out how this came about and restore things for both of us?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I was wondering, when we arrived in this system, in our time we saw the half finished remains of a dyson sphere, does that exist here?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: I am not sure I would use the word proud to describe my emotions however i am keen to learn more about your culture
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Glances up:: Timrok: How do we know you didn't put that device there in the first place?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @CIV: If we did why would we bring you here?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CIV: to what end man? what possible motive could i have to put myself and my crew in this situation?!!! ::offended::
Host Kalath says:
CTO/CNS: The Sphere is completed of course, one of our greatest resources. 40 billion Wirathians live there.
Host Kalath says:
CNS: I trully do not understand how you are not happy with what you did.
Host Kalath says:
CNS/CTO: You can stay here as long as you like. When you wish we can move on to show you the facilities from which you will communicate with our people and where you will live
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Timrok: To suit your needs, naturally. You're way too obsessed with revenge if you ask me, even more then normal.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: that is exactly what we are trying to do but we need your help and so far none of your people seem to intetrested in giving it and time is running out fast
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I must admit I am impressed. Do your people live outside there sphere, or are they all living in this system?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: We are the most represented race in the UCP. We have hundreds of colonies
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: I think we should move on and see the facilities, we can return to admire this view later
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CIV: i dont think you are in any position to judge what is normal here and what is not, HERE a normal course of acion would be to repair the damage we did to another timeline
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: the CIV is correct I will need proof...ok how can we help? we need to establish some trust here that you are telling the truth?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Timrok: Says you, but how do we know what's the real story? Hmm? Like the Captain said, we need proof.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@XO: recall whatever ally`s we have left and have them redezvous with us at Wirathia, we will make our last stand there if all else fails
Host Kalath says:
::nods:: CNS/CTO: Let us go to the broadcasting rooms them
Host Kalath says:
<then>
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @Timrok: Yes sir, what shall I tell them our objective is?
Host Kalath says:
::returns through the same stairs they entered and waits for the 2 of them in the lift::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: Broadcasting rooms?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::joins Kalath in the lift::
Host Kalath says:
CNS: Yes. From which you will communicate with the ones you saved!
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Pazoski: World domination. ::Chuckles::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::follows Kalath and the CNS into the lift::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CO/CIV: if im lying then we will all be dead soon - if im telling the truth our realities will all be restored and probably no-one will have any memory of this ever having happened
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@XO: if we dont have an alternative by the time we get thetre we will attack the savior device
Host Kalath says:
::orders the lift to move down::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@Timrok: Fine by me. ::Raises from the floor, she coughs and moves closer::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@timrok: all thats great I haven’t much choice die or "hope things go back to normal for both of us" that helps me out a lot?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @Timrok: I hope you can convince them in time sir, for all our sakes ::turns and exits the room, heading for the bridge::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: thats the situation for all of us now
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: You mentioned the UCP, what is that?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Kalath: I hope we will have time to learn about your culture and your saviour 
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Moves closer to the Captain, she smiles at Timrok's direction and whispers in the Captain's ears:: CO: I say we just kill them and find the rest of the crew.. Hmm?
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The lift doors open to reveal a large room filled with video and holographic recording devices along with five chairs, almost as big as ancient thrones
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: ok I do you suppose I could help you or the CIV, as I said I don't have any knowledge or remember anything accept for a meeting with a Dr. Sparks after we entered orbit of the planet we were sent to investigate?
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: Several wirathians (all blond) are busy going from place to place
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: I know of nothing else that happened? I was with the archeologist?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks around the room, it doesn't look inviting to her::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: The United Coligation of Planets. Founded by Wirath, Andoria and Vulcan. Now we span over 300 civilizations
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CNS: I think those chairs might be a little big for me ::looks up at her and smiles::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: The planet was what would have been Wirathia had the Wirathians not all died 500 years ago, however they left a device there which could send information back in time to save them from there fate, that device was activated in your reality and lead to a previously extinct race from becoming the greatest power in this quadrant, the Wirathians brought the people responsible for activating the device here to there
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: One of the Wirathians approaches kalath. she nods to him
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: Where we came from it was the United Federation of Planets, maybe our universes are not so different afterall
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::smiles to the CTO then looks to the wirathian that has just joined them:: 
Host Kalath says:
CNS/CTO: I am sorry, I will need a few minutes. we are having a problem
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: do you remember what occured on the Elara after I left to meet with Dr. Sparks?
Host Kalath says:
::smiles:: CTO:Certainly. I am sure that even in your time line those pitiful Klingons are also a nuisance
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Shakes her head::
Host Kalath says:
::leaves to the side with the other Wirathian::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: well you seem to be right we have know choice, but we will only help you in restoring both our timelines the way they were before this started and no more!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::moves closer to the CNS and almost whispers:: CNS: So do we have a good plan yet?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::whispers to the CTO:: CTO: I would love to know what keeps demanding her attention and why it is such a secret from us. ::then pauses to answer his question::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CO: That’s all I ask, you would do well not to trust your friends character judgement ::nods at the CIV::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: and in the processing hopefully we and the CIV end up back in our own timeline
Host Kalath says:
