Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Wall and Ivanova continue alone with yet another Timrok. Alone, except for a force field between them
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::stands in silence trying to makes heads and tails of this continueing situation::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::standing against the wall at the correct side of the forcefield - clearly bored with the guard duty ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: Meanwhile ... Janan and Mesme wake up elsewhere. They are in what looks like a waste land, only with a small plant here and there to bring color to the yellow sand. Their clothes are torn and turned into rags. They can see a few buildings close by (about 500 meters away) and larger ones in the distance.
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Walks along the corridor towards the holding cells::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::groans as he finally stirs, he sits up awkwardly, rubs his head and gives his tail a swish:: CNS: Are you okay?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::moves herself into a sittting position and glances around, then turns to the CTO:: CTO: I think so, and how are you?
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Approaches the entrance and steps through::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: any suggestions...and no we are not killing anybody ::smirks::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::smiles and staggers to his feet:: CNS: In need of a tailor and a lie down. ::takes a brief look around:: do you have any idea where we are?
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: There is a road not far. A female is walking there, apparently towards one of the buildings
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Looks around seeing Timrok and the two starfleet prisoners::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Glances at the empty corridor with boredom, she sighs at the Captain's comment. With a yawn she glances around and offers a lazy smile:: CO: Cause a riot and then escape when they'll come to check what's going on?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CTO: None what so ever we could be anywhere, but I think we may be able to find out over there ::points to the buildings::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@Self: Then again we could walk into more trouble there too.
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::nods to Reik as he approches::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::moves over to the CNS and helps her to her feet:: CNS: Well the day started in the spirit of discovery, we might as well continue on the same path, something is bound to go right eventually
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Returns Timrok's nod, and comes even closer:: Timrok: Alright. Here we go... ::Walks up closer to the forcefield::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Timrok: I know you don't believe us, but perhaps one way confirm is to scan our temperal signatures you should see that it does'nt match with your time period
Host Grolia says:
@::spots the two officers. She takes her weapon and approaches them. As she approaches, they can see she is a young Romulan carrying a disruptor::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::gets up with the CTO's help, smiles to him:: CTO: Thank you ::pauses and looks ahead:: Well we may as well proceed things don't come much more confusing or challenging than this day
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Turns his view to Wall and Ivanova and clears his throat:: CO: So, Captain, tell us, how exactly did you get here?
Host Grolia says:
@::pointing her weapon at them:: CNS/CTO: Who are you? There isn't anyone in this colony I do not know of
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::shifts his weight off of the wall and stands upright with one hand near his disruptor, shaking his head at the CO`s suggestion:: 
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Paces in front of the forcefield, waiting for an answer::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ Grolia: I am Karida Janan, and this is Mesme
Host Grolia says:
@CNS: Your names have no meaning to me
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: well in another timeline we helped a Captain Timrok to destroy a savior in the room we were caught in and suddely found ourselves in the same room but it was different
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Frowns:: CO: You found yourselves in the same room.... But it was different.... But how did you ever get into that room then? That different one, I mean..
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Frowns, she turns to the Captain:: CO: Enough lying, you can't fool them any more. ::She turns to face the two guards:: Guards: I'm an agent for the KSF, I was assigned to spy after him. He's here on an information gathering mission from SFI. Everything was going well until he so foolishly got spotted on one of your surface scanners. I had to blow my cover so I could get him out of there. He isn't worth dead to us.. I 
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: that I can not tell you as I have now memory of how, what or when
Host Grolia says:
@::looks at the 2, curious about them. Yet she keeps her weapon aimed::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::Looks at Grolia for a moment:: Grolia: Perhaps we could talk and maybe you could help us understand more about our situation.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: ::gives a hard look a her:: Lieutenant!!
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::suddenly feals a little anxious at the CO`s attempt to involve him:: Reik: they have done nothing but lie since we found them
Host Grolia says:
@CNS: Why should I trust 2 half naked ... creatures that appeared in my backyard??? I should turn you to the authorities
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Stops at one of the walls and looks at the CO, still slightly frowning, then turns to Ivanova:: CIV: You are assigned to spy on... Who? Timrok? ::Looks over at Timrok::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Sighs:: Timrok: Not him.. Him! ::Points at the Captain::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::shakes his head in disbelief::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Frowns even deeper:: CIV: You're sent on a mission to spy on your very own commanding officer?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: You have issues you know? Okay, get my grip.. C-o-v-e-r S-t-o-r-y.. Okay?!
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: For Romulans you sure are naive!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives the "women" a sideways glance:: Grolia: Do you at least have some un damaged clothes we could borrow first.
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::laughs at the CIVS comment::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: are you trying to get me killed!!!...a SFI spy?
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Get's angry:: CIV: Settle down! ::With a calmer voice:: So, let's see.. You spy on your CO, originally being sent by the KSF. You had to get him... ::Nods at the CO:: ... out of that room, but as you did, you were somehow transported here? An other timeline, you say?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ Grolia: You do have a point, but we are here before you with no weapons and no way of doin gyou harm, may i also point out it is you with the weapon here. 
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: No, you're confusing everything here. I have no idea of what timeline you're talking about, I'm just here to get him! ::Points at the Captain's direction:: He was just happened to be seen here..
Host Grolia says:
@::looks at them for a second:: CTO/CNS: You really don't seam to have a place to hide any weapons.... Alright, at least you can go to prison in a decent way. That is my house ::points to the nearest building:: CTO/CNS: Walk in front of me
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Smiles:: CIV: And you expect me to believe that?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::smiles to Grolia and walks ahead:: Grolia: Thank you.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: Are you sure you're Romulan?
Host Grolia says:
@::looks suspiciously at the counselor and starts walking after they do::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::takes up a position next to the CNS and moves towards the house::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Self: ::grumbles under his breath, what the devil is going on::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Grins:: CIV: Now don't be rude... You don't answer a question with another question. You answer first, then I'll answer.
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: They finally reach the house. Grolia steps up and opens the door, not without keeping their weapon aimed at the 2 officers at all times
Host Grolia says:
@CNS/CTO: Get in
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: Look, fine. I can prove it. ::Bends down to a crouch position. She raises her trousers a bit and gets a small data chip out, she sighs and raises again. She shows the chip in her hand to both of them:: Reik: Read this and you'll find out everything.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::opens the door and steps into the house::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::paces the cell::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::steps inside and glanes around::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
Reik: dont trust her
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Walks closer to Ivanova:: CIV: Alright, put it in that basket there. I'm not going to lower this forcefield for that.
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: They enter a room, without much decoration. Basicly utilitarian devices. They recognize some as being used by archeologists. The only place to sit is a couch and 2 doors are seen
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: what the devil....are you doing!
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Nods, she places the chip in the basket and steps backwards::
Host Grolia says:
@CNS/CTO: Stay here. you may sit ::she heads towards one of the doors::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Turns to Timrok:: Timrok: Look, it's a data chip. I'll open it at a computer terminal, not connected to the main frame. It can't do any damage if it were a virus.
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Walks over to a small console and taps it, erecting a second forcefield behind the first one, causing the basket to be caught between them::::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::takes a seat and watches Grolia::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::shrugs:: Reik: suit yourself, its your choice
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::moves and sits on the couch:: CNS: I dont think she is going to have anything in my size.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Turns around to face the Captain, she sighs and glances around for a moment before smiling at the Captain's direction and winking::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Presses the console again, releasing the first forcefield, then walks over to the basket to take the chip::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::smiles to the CTO:: CTO: She seemed to have no problem with it so lets see what she brings 
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he thinks he hates this being in the dark, he really has no idea what is going on and it is frustrating him::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Takes the chip out of the basket, then walks back to the console and taps it twice, first to raise the first forcefield, then to release the second one::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@CNS: I wonder if Captain Wall and Ivanova are here somewhere
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CTO: I really wouldn't like to even guess. 
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Taps her foot near the Captain, she nods as he glances up at her. She mouths a phrase and turns around::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Puts the chip in his pocket, then turns back to the captain:: CO: So... You suggest you came here, because you entered a room, and then something in the timeline shifted? Is that correct?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::he thinks this is really getting tiresome and hopes that they can get out of this timeline nightmare soon::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: yes!
Host Grolia says:
@::comes out with 2 tunics. One smaller and green, the other pink and larger. She gives them to Janan and Mesme:: CTO/CNS: They are working clothes, for the escavations. It will make you look like simple workers
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Nods, then starts pacing again:: CO: So, then, explain me, in detail, why you were in that room?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: Naturally, he's laying. SFI agents are so straightforward..
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@Grolia: Thank you ::pauses:: So you are an archeologist.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::takes the tunic thinking green probably isnt his colour::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Turns to Ivanova again, annoyed:: CIV: I'm not asking you anything. I suggest you remain quiet!
Host Grolia says:
@CNS/CTO: We are all archeologists here, or working for the archeologists
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::smiles again as Reiks temper rises::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::takes the pink tunic and smiles at the colour::
Host Grolia says:
@CNS/CTO: Or officers of the empire
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: which room you timeline or the last?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Tsks:: Reik: A SFI loving Romulan? Will the wonders never cease?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::chirps up:: Grolia: What is it you are escavating?
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Stops pacing at a computer console, and inserts the chip:: Self: Let's see what we have here. Really in the KSF... Right, now, what is this? ::Turns to Ivanova again:: CIV: I sitll haven't asked you anything!
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Turns to the captain:: CO: The one you claim is in your timeline.
Host Grolia says:
@CTO/CNS: I ask the questions here. I assume you want your privacy to change? ::doesn't wait for an answer and leaves the house::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: my timeline, the last timeline we were in before here was'nt ours
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
Reik: This is rich, you're falling for every word he's feeding you.
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::discreetly takes a few steps away from the console Reik is working on ::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@CNS: It could be we are still on Wirathia. They might be uncovering that same remains we originally came to look at. ::moves behind sutible cover and quickly gets changed into the tunic, thinking green definatly isnt his colour::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: what are you doing? ::angrly strikes the CIV::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Frowns:: CO: And you were telling a short while ago you entered this room in your own timeline, and turned out to be here, in this timeline...
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::gets changed into the pink tunic, looking very pleased with it:: CTO: We could be, in which case there may be a reason for Grolia to want to talk to us, let us just hope she has not gone to the authorities just yet.
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: They hear the sounds of heavy cars approaching
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CTO: I have bad feeling about this.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::gives the CNS a semi worried look:: CNS: That doens't sound too good, she may well have done
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Curses as she feels the impact, she takes a step back and launches her self on the Captain::
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ ::moves to the door they have not yet seen through and opens it cautiously::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
Self: here we go
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
Reik: no perhaps you misunderstood, no it wasn't our timeline ::is getting a headache from trying to explain all this timeline stuff ::sighs::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Sees what Ivanova is doing, and quickly turns to Timrok:: Timrok: Lower the force field, and get some more guards down here! They are of no use dead!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::remains where he was:: CNS: What can you see?
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: The door is locked
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
Reik: are you mad?! this is a trick, let them fight it out
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
Timrok: And have one dead? We need to have the information, and they're the ones that have it! As I said, they're of no use to us dead...
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
CIV: if we ever get back to our timeline, a court martial will be in order for you!
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@CTO: Nothing it is locked. ::clams down and focusses on the cars again::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
Reik: we can can interogate the survivor and perform an autopsy on the body of the dead one, dont be so naive
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: The sound grows closer
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::goes back to the couch and sits down:: CNS: Then I guess we will have to wait and see what happens
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Chuckles:: Timrok: What information would give an autopsy to us? All the information they have in their brains will be lost! And that's exactly the information we need...
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CTO: Did you notice anywhere we could run to outside to hide as we were coming in?
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: Oddly, for no apprent reason, the door Grolia used to get the clothes opens on its own
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
Reik: oh what information, they are a pair of relic theives, you really want to risk your career on this scum?
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@::looks around at the door::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::turns to look at the mysterious door:: CNS: There was a wood just behind the house, we could hide there
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
Timrok: If there's a chance they know valuable things, yes, and I honestly believe that chance is there, even that it's big.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Smirks, she grabs the Captain in a head lock. She turns to face the two guards. She smiles insanely:: Reik: Ever killed someone in cold blood, Reik? ::Stares at him, she tightens her lock on the Captain's neck::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Walks over to the small console:: Timrok: You either help me here, or we're both dead!
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::shakes his head :: Reik: i knew you were ambitious, but i never had you as a fool, have it your way ::sinals for a security team to join them::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@::decides to take a leaf out the CNS book and moves over to the opened door to see what is inside the room::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Sighs:: Timrok: Good, we'll wait for the team to arrive. I just hope he'll make it to that moment. ::Gestures to the captain::
Host Grolia says:
ACTION: As soon as Timrok signals 5 romulan guards enter the room
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::pulls his disruptor and sets it to stun before dropping the forcefield::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Lowers her mouth to the Captain's ear, she lowers her voice:: CO: Can you handle the guards?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::thrust his elbow hard in to her side area and over powers her and frees himself
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: The room has one bed, one closet and one sky light
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Runs closer to the couple, pointing his disruptor at them, also set to stun::
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::fires at the CO::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Looks at Timrok:: Timrok: Try to get them separated. I'll put up another forcefield, separating them from eachother... ::Walks to the small console::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Dives down, she runs around the guards and tackles Reik to the floor. She grabs him and turns around so she is laying below him, with a grunt she picks him up and uses him as a human shield::
Host Grolia says:
ACTION: The already imobilized CO falls uncounscious
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::sets his disruptor to kill and aims it at the CIV :: CIV: your move
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
@CNS: Well as the ranking officer I suppose the choice on whether we try to get out through the roof is up to you
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
::drops to the floor unconcious::
Sec_Lt_Reik says:
::Suddenly get's into Ivanova's hands, surprised by the force she put up:: Guards: Shoot her!
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
CIV: i can kill you both, it doesn`t matter to me
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
::Laughs:: Timrok: No, your move. ::Grabs Reik disrupter:: Then do so, by all means.
CNS_LtCmdr_Janan says:
@ CTO: Roof, you think we could get out of there that seems the best idea so far as i would hate to walk out the door into them.
Host Grolia says:
ACTION: Three of the guard invade the cell and position themselves around Ivanova. One of them fires at her. She falls uncounscious and Reik is injured
Sec_Lt_Timrok says:
::gives the CIV a kick to make sure she`s out::
Host Grolia says:
@ACTION: meanwhile, the CNs and CTO manage to open the sky light and get onto the ceiling justr as a group of romulans enter the house. they run to the woods. But what will they find there?
