=/\==/\==/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10407.04 - "History's Writers, part II "=/\==/\==/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
The USS Elara is seemingly adrift, no sensor readings whatsoever, no navigational feedback. Nothing.
Host SM_Lilia says:
On the Bridge of the Elara, as confusion settles in, Sub Commander Mafel has an odd grin on his face as he closes his bag.
Host SM_Lilia says:

Host Mafel says:
::gets up and stares at Timrok::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge and looks at the white view screen and the confused looks on the crew:: Self: This could look better.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Turns around with some disgust ::
Host Mafel says:
CO: Now Captain, if you want to survive you will turn control of this vessel to me
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: stares at console in confusion::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
Helm: All Stop
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::looks quite surprised by Mafels demand::
Host Mafel says:
<FCO Lost>CO: Captain, I don't even know if we are moving!
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::In Sickbay sorting through transfer manifest::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
Mafel: Turn my ship over to you, and why would I want to do that? :; looks toward the CTO ::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::moves up to the CTO and whispers:: CTO: We need to know what his device did.
Host Mafel says:
CO: Because if you do I may let you live
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::puts his hand to his phaser and returns the CO's look::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::raises and eyebrow and watches Mafel::
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: Slowly sensor information returns. This ship is stopped in space, orbiting a planet with a moon. It’s about the same size as Earth but no other signs of it being the home planet to humans
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: tries to draw phaser without being noticed::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
Mafel: What have you done?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::takes a moment to look at the CNS and whisper back:: CNS: What device?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: What is our position?
Host Mafel says:
CO: You are in my universe now, living by my rules. The only way for you to survive is by giving me control of the Elara. Beware for my patience does not last
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::finishes manifest review. Logs summary details to a PADD::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CTO: the one in his bag he just put it away.
Host Mafel says:
<FCO Lost>CO: According to the star configurations we are still on the Solar system, orbiting Earth but the planet bellow is not M class ... I am ....lost
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::nods to the CNS and smiles::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::heads to a science console, does a standard sweep of the area::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::remembers CO wanted report of manifest as soon as possible. Picks up PADD::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
Mafel: you will never have control of this ship CTO: take him to the brig
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: summons a Security team to the bridge::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::motions to the TO to move towards Mafel:: CO: Aye sir. Mafel: I you would come with me ::draws his phaser::
Host Mafel says:
::smiles and is beamed away::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
Nurse Connelly: I'm just popping up to the Bridge. I won't be long.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
:;continues working with the sensors::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::enters TL::
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: One Romulan Warbird and one Romulan bird of prey de-cloak ahead
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
Computer: Bridge
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>CO: The Warbird is hailing
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: watches proceedings with horror :: All: where did he go?!
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::watches the scene unfold, holsters his phaser and makes for tactical::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
OPS: On screen
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Red Alert sir?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: Red alert
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: Not surprisingly it is Mafel who appears
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Enters Bridge:: All: Hello everyone, so where is our guest?
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: Nowhere. Sir. But everything else just changed
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::looks at screen::
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: moves to secondary Tactical station::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Aye sir ::sets the ship to red alert, raises shields::
Host Mafel says:
@COM USS Elara: Last chance, Captain
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
All: I thought the chap was meant to be on board?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
COM: Mafel: What do you want with my ship?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: Any other ships on sensors?
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::notices the CMO enter and smiles then turns to the sensors::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
CNS: Who wants what when where who?! What did I miss THIS time?
Host Mafel says:
@COM: USS Elara: I have no time for talking. you have 30 seconds
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::thinks:: Is that Romulan seconds or Bolian Seconds?
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: He believes what he says. But I am still not convinced by this situation.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
Ops: cut the channel
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: me either
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>::nods::
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CTO: Weapons locked on all ships
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Sir, both ships are powering their disruptors and torpedoes
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: Mafel disappears from the screen, still smiling
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::runs a full sensor sweep:: CO: None sir, but most likely they would be cloaked
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CMO: Mafel our guest had a device which appears to have changed everything we can see around us, earth is ::shows him the results:: A big ocean, and  well its odd.
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The two ships break formation and go to the Elara's flanks
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CMO: Oh and he is on the other ship now too. which is about to attack us I believe
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: maneuver us to keep the bird of prey between us and the Warbird
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: They fire at the same time
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: lock weapons on the bird of prey - they can be our shield
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: return fire
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: As the Elara moves the torpedoes miss her but she is hit on both sides by disruptor fire
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::is still not convinced this can be happening::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::falls over::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::wishes they had seatbelts::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: shield status
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::returns fire on the bird of prey::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: keep that bird of prey between us and the Warbird
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The BOP is hit but doesn't appear to loose its maneuvering abilities
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Port and Starboard at 70%.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::goes over the records from Mafels arrival to cross referencing Mafel's object with any possible match::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
CO: Err Sir, congratulations, and... may I get to Battle stations? I assume the manifest report can wait?!
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CMO: agreed
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: continue firing
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::re-modulates the phasers and targets the BOP's engines, gives it a spread of torpedoes for good measure::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::squeezes CNS's hand, whispers:: CNS: It'll be ok.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::runs to TL:: Computer: Deck twelve, priority 1.
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The BOP starts to move slower, apparently slightly crippled by the fire. The Warbird comes about and fires directly from above the Elara
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::smiles back to the CMO not so confidently and watches him leave::
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: Several consoles sparkle as the upper hull is hit
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
::watches the fireworks on the main screen::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::screams as sparks fly from the console next to her, then quickly curses:: Computer: A crystal ball is the best you can do.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::enters sickbay::
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::shakes and grabs his console, with the BOP out of his immediate target area fires at the Warbird as it passes::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: try to take out the shields on the bird of prey - when they go down beam the crew to the brig
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::tries to match any similar stories or events and also checks transporter records from their return to Elara looking for any irregularities::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: continue evasive maneuvers
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
Medical Staff:: Action stations people I want your heads screwed on and you wearing your poker faces. This is not a drill!!
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Warbird is hit with no visible damage
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Sir, I am detecting at least 4 more cloaked vessels in the area, they are small but I cannot tell their class
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Hull breach decks 1 through 5, no casualties. Damage control in route
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: can you get a fix on there position?
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Warbird fires again, hitting the engineering section
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::with the BOP moving slower targets it with another spread of torpedoes to attempt to remove their shields::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods to the TO ::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
Nurse Connelly: Nurse get me all medical staff STAT. And I want Doctor Sh'rek to be on station in the Surgical Theatre. Tell him I will be on hand if he needs me.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
:;turns to the CTO horrified:: CTO: Four more, but, but we can't handle these two.
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The CTO manages to cripple the BOP further but the Warbird is still ready to fire
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*Bridge*: Damage report please?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: get us behind that bird of prey
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: 4 Klingon BOPS decloak and fire on the Warbird
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
OPS: re-route all available power to the shields
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>CO: we are receiving a com from the Klingons, they just say "Run"
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Shields at 40% Hull breach in Engineering
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: co-ordinate fire with the Klingon ships
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::looks at his readings:: CO: Sir, I would have to agree with their advice at the moment.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
*CMO*: Multiple hull breaches no casualties yet
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::targets everything he has currently armed at the Warbirds weapon systems and fires::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
::nods to the CTO::
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Warbird diverts attention to the Klingons and fires on one, completely destroying it
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: engage at maximum warp - get us out of here
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Warbird is barely hit by the Elara
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Elara warps out of the system into the unknown
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: Immediately the Klingons break formation and re-cloak
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: what’s our status?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::begins going over the sensor data from the battle::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
<MO Sh'rek> *CO*: On my way sir, have just come near Engineering. There are wounded there. Thought you should know sir.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Reports coming in now sir.
Host Mafel says:
<FCO Lost>CO: Heading sir
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: see if you can find us a safe place to gather ourselves - a nebula or a friendly territory
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*Sh'rek*: Thanks Doctor, I'm on my way there. Carry on.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*CMO* Very good, Ensign, keep me advised
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Engineering shields at 50%
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Grabs Med kit and Tricorder, runs to TL::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: Aye sir, is a nebula and friendly territory the same thing. ::is working on a location::
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Hull breaches on multiple decks. Force fields are in place
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
Computer: Engineering
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: you will know as soon as i do
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Dorsal shields at 30%
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*Sickbay*: Connelly get Triage teams set up in affected areas. Transport to surgery as necessary.
Host Mafel says:
<FCO Lost>::shrugs::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: I have relayed some coordinates to the FCO it's a nebula.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Damage control is on their way
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: good work
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Enters Engineering, it's smoky, with red lights flashing everywhere::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: Go over the sensor data -i want to know what just happened
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Aye sir.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
EO: Where is the CEO?
Host Mafel says:
<EO Yellow>CMO: Unconscious ::points to the CEO being treated by a MO::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
EO: Thanks, are you ok? You look a bit beat up.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::continues with her scans as they move::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*Engineering* Get every available man onto repairs -we need to get back to full strength quickly, draft anyone you need
Host Mafel says:
<EO Yellow>*CO*Aye sir
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Treats EO with mild painkillers:: EO You'll live.. you better get back to it!
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: The Elara quickly approaches red and green nebula
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
<EO=EO:>
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: Sir, something you may want to know, I have concluded some scans.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: pours over the sensor logs trying to make sense of what happened::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods to the CNS :: CNS what did you find?
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
::at tactical wondering what has just happened:: TO: Have you ever seen Romulan vessels with that sort of defense ability?
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Scans CEO::
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CTO: No sir
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>CTO: I think they knew all too well how to hit us
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: I checked Utopia, obviously we knew the fate of earth, and its...well ...its as though we have never been here. My only guess it this place is not the earth we just left, the time is right but this whole place is wrong
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Sir cloaked vessel approaching 
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: I have no information on the object Mafel used, it was similar to an ancient earth device a crystal ball. :;shrugs::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: Romulan or Klingon?
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Appears to be Klingon. Possibly one of the ones from earlier
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
MO Kilby: Ok Stan the CEO needs a transverse craniotomy now. He needs part of his skull replacing! I want you to go to the Bridge and make sure the command crew is maintained in good health. ::fixes mild sedative in hypo spray:: Give this to the CNS from me, She'll need it I think.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
OPS: hail the ship
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::scans the nebula::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*Transporter Room 4*:  Emergency transport to sickbay - lock onto the CEO's comm. badge
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>CO: No answer but they are sending short range information in binary code
Host Mafel says:
<OPS Solie>CO: They are sending coordinates ... deep inside the nebula
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
CO: Sir: If you do decide to go in there the sensors won't be of any use to us.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: set course for those co-ordinates
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CNS: Then lets hope the Romulan vessel also loses its sensors
Host Mafel says:
<FCO Lost>::Raises eyebrows and speaks with a high voice:: CO: Are you su... ::speaks lower:: CO: Aye sir
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: i don’t see many options but to trust them, if they were Romulan they could simply have attacked
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: stands facing the view screen ::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*MO Sh'rek*: Doctor I need you to run a transverse craniotomy under polotron conditions. I know it's a tricky procedure but the  CEO needs the affected part of his skull replaced with duralumin. Keep me informed, Rillix out.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::nods:: CTO: Hmm that would seem plausible. ::looks to the CO:: CO: Sir, neither do I but it is still my responsibility to let you know you are about to lose the use of the sensors. ::gives him a small smile::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: thank you
Host Mafel says:
ACTION: the Elara enters the Nebula, as the CNS predicted sensors become virtually useless. Shields are lost as well
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Sir those ships don't seem to be any different from our own version
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: post security on all decks, without shields we are too easy to board
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: They appear to be less maneuverable than us
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Aye sir
Host SM_Lilia says:
<FCO Lost>CO: we will reach the given coordinates in 4minutes
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: signals Security to post at all decks::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::MO Kilby enters the Bridge and hands the CNS the hypo spray:: <Kilby>: The CMO thought you might want this.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::MO Kilby takes station at Science 2, med kit on hand if needed::
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: The fire power though is higher
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: watches the MO hand over the hypo spray::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::takes the hypo with a smile:: MO: I think all is calm for now, but thank him for the thought.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods to the TO ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The green and red of the nebula is replaced by the darkness of space as the Elara enters a "clearing"
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: The BOP has about the same power as us but the Warbird is way more powerful.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: "This clearing is obviously artificial as several shield generators are active pushing the gases away
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: all stop
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::scans the clearing as much as possible to get any information::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: raise shields
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: I wouldn't recommend us going back up against them if we can avoid it.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
:: Moves about engineering, delegating medical personnel and treating the most severely wounded::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: I’m in complete agreement with you :: smiles ::
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
::Thinks to self:: I don't know, he gets in charge for two minutes and now look the mess we are in...
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Into this clearing comes a rather old fashioned constitution class starship
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Shields up, Aye sir
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: The name on the hull is scratched, it now reads "DS Asimov"
CTO_LtCmdr_Mesme says:
CO: Aye sir ::re-raises the shields::
Host SM_Lilia says:
<OPS Solie> CO: We are being hailed
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
OPS: on screen
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: On the screen a Klingon appears, wearing an ancient Uniform
Host SM_Lilia says:
<Klato>COM USS Elara: Greetings Captain, I am Klato. Welcome to Mafel's universe ::grins::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::looks up at the Klingons:: Self: Someone really did turn this universe around.
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
<MO Sh'rek> *CMO*: Sir the operation was a complete success. The CEO should be able to return to duty almost immediately. Although he might have a problem balancing for a little while due to the metal plate in his head.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::shakes her head::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
COM: Asimov: Greetings, i am Captain Timrok of the Federation Starship USS Elara... Mafel's universe?
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::shakes her head::
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::checks the status of his ship and it's weapons hoping they are what she is used to
Host Klato says:
::laughs:: COM: USS Elara: Yes, he created it, so I suppose its fair to call it his. Think of your ship as a tiny mouse just captured in a trap
Host Klato says:
COM: USS Elara: Mafel is the Cat who will play with you until he eats you ::laughs::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
COM: Asimov: and yours?
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: ponders scanning the Asimov::
Host Klato says:
COM USS Elara: I am from your universe Captain. From a time when you and I would be enemies and fight honorable battles. unfortunately we can not, we have to fight a Romulan!
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*CNS*: Hey Priya, are you ok?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
COM: Asimov: Looks like you have a talent for surviving, i am curious - what does the DS stand for?
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Sir maybe they can give us some assistance to beat the Romulans here?
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
*CMO*: Discovering we are to be the mice in Mafel's trap...erm...yes okay, what's the status of engineering?
Host Klato says:
COM USS Elara: I would like to discuss that and other business in person. My ship or yours. your choice
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: grins :: COM: Asimov: I will have you brought over promptly
Host Klato says:
COM: USS Elara: Me, my first officer and my counselor will beam over using our transporters if we may
Host Klato says:
COM USS Elara: Send me the coordinates where you want us to beam. I will be there in 10 minutes. Asimov out!
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*CNS*: Yeah that was the other reason I called, Engineering is now 90% operational staff-wise. Some bumps and bruises, a few cuts. The most major injuries were a broken arm which I have reset and the CEO, who had to be taken for head surgery. Please inform the Captain that he will be out of action for a short while but will make a complete recovery.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
:: scans Klato's vessel::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:; stops himself :: COM: Asimov: very well, we will transfer co-ordinates to you
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::raises eyebrow:: Self: An ancient Klingon with a counselor.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: I have a report on their vessel sir when ever your ready for it sir.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS/CTO: with me in the conference lounge
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
TO: lets hear it
CMO_Ens_Ordo says:
*CNS*: I am on my way up to check on you guys as we speak.
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
::waits for the CO to finish then nods:: Aye Sir: Oh and Captain, the CEO is unstable in sickbay.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: It appears to be a Starfleet vessel fro the mid 23rd century
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: but I don't find it in the database
CNS_Ens_Juuls says:
*CMO*: I'm about to greet some Klingons.
TO_Ens_Shin says:
CO: Also there appears to be new technology added and I think a cloaking device.
