USS Elara's Season Premier. "To Future Come" -- Arc I -- "A Step Forward"

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO Lost says: 
::sits at the helm::

TO Preston says: 
::at station scanning the area::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::at the engineering station on the bridge running usual diagnostics::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::sat in his chair and grumbling to himself::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::initiates a scan::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::wanders on to the bridge yawning and nudges the guy sat in his seat to shift::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::gets scan results:: XO: Sir, sensors indicate we are at the exact same location we were before.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::looks to OPS:: OPS: Where and more importantly when are we Mr Tar?

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::console starts beeping:: XO: And we're receiving a distress signal from the pod.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
OPS: Put the signal on speaker

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
XO: Aye sir. ::hits a few buttons::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::sits down and accesses his console::

FCO Lost says: 
::looks up to the FCO:: FCO: Hello Mr. Sollo. Feeling better again?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::turns to the TO:: TO: Mr... Preston, are there any other ships in the area?

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
ACTION: A low static noise is heard over the bridge speakers.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
FCO: Not really... but I thought I'd better show my face round here.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
OPS: Is that it?

TO Preston says: 
XO: Sensors indicate a transwarp gate forming right in front of us!

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
XO: That's the signal Sir.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Damage report, Sir. Weapons, shields, impulse and warp are all offline, extensive damage to all decks and life support is on backup

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
ACTION: A transwarp conduit is formed aft to the Elara; the ship exiting the gate is massive. Easily three times the size of the Elara, scans can reveal nothing due to the ship electromagnetic radiation absorbing device. The technology seems to match the pod technology.

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::notices something in the position of the stars::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Fortunately sensors are online...

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CEO: Then I suggest you get your teams working.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
OPS: What year are we in?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Of course Sir, which systems would you like us to make priority?

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::turns to XO:: XO: Sir, we are being hailed.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
TO: Does that ship match any known configuration?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CEO: Engines and tactical systems first Chief.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::just stares at the readings of the ship behind him::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
OPS: Put it on screen... assuming that’s working

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::opens channel and puts it on screen::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Aye Sir, I'll get on it right away. ::turns back to his bridge console and starts assessing the damage further and assigning teams::

TO Preston says: 
XO:Yes.

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
ACTION: A human female in a futuristic Starfleet uniform appears on screen

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::carries on at his post not turning to see the screen but keeping an ear open::

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
COM: USS Elara: I am Captain Renee O'Neal from the USS Haste. I am afraid you were caught where you were not supposed to be

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::looks briefly at the screen, then back at his console... suddenly then back at the screen where his eyes seem to stay::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::downloads data onto a PADD::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::pauses when he hears about the 31st century and then stands up and heads to the turbolift::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
COM: USS Haste: Captain, I completely agree with you.  If you could send us back to our own time we would be extremely grateful.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
COM: USS Haste: To what end Captain?  I am sure you are aware we are bound by the Temporal Prime Directive, we cannot interfere in this timeline, its one of ours and yours guiding principles.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
TL: Engineering ::keeps his eyes on the PADD::

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
COM: USS Elara: Exactly. And the only way to abide by the directive is to get you out of here

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::blinks again::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
COM: USS Haste: Then send us back home.  If we come to Earth in your century there is no telling what could happen.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::enters engineering wondering whether he'll be able to get a peek at some specs from the 31st century warp engines, for curiosity of course::

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
COM: USS Elara: As I said, that is not possible ::sounding impatient now::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::rubs his eyes and blinks::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::tries to scan the ship, but gets no results::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::turns to another engineer:: Bridges: Get started on the tactical systems!

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
<Bridges> CEO: Aye Sir ::walks to a console::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::actually paces slightly on the bridge:: COM: USS Haste: What will happen to the rest of my crew if only the senior staff come with you?  Will you just abandon them here?

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
COM: USS Elara: The Elara will be kept safe and so will the crew aboard. But there are something’s you need to know. Prepare to be beamed in 1 minute

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::gets nervous from the pacing XO::

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
ACTION: The screen goes blank

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::goes into a jeffries tube with a tool kit::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
XO: Sir, they closed the channel.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::narrows his eyes:: Self: I hate time travel.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
OPS: Thank you Mr. Tar, I got that.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::blinks, shakes his head then looks to the XO to find out what's going on::

CIV Cmdr Maor says: 
ACTION: Intruders alert, all decks.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
*Senior Staff*: Pazoski to all senior staff, prepare for immediate beam out.

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
ACTION: The senior crew of the Elara is beamed away to what appears to be some sort of cargo bay. There is no furniture

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::hears the XO but before he can stand up out of the jeffries tube and materializes on his hands and knees::

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
ACTION: the crew feels a slight jump on the ship then nothing else

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::blinks with his eyes::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::materializes in the middle of a cargo bay and rolls his hands into fists:: All: Someone here has got a LOT of explaining to do.  Is everyone okay?

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
XO: I'm okay sir.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks up at the XO and stands up:: XO: Well OUR transporters were down...

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::didn't have enough time to grab a tricorder::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::holds up the engineering tool kit he has in his hand:: XO: I have this...I was about to start repairs

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::looks around:: XO: Sir, where's Commander Maor?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
All: I have no idea what is happening here people, but until we know more I say we just go along with it.  Just try not to glean too much information that could affect our timeline from these people.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::looks around the room:: OPS: Perhaps he is still onboard the Elara.

CO Cpt ONeal says: 
ACTION: The crew feels another slight jump

CTO LtCmdr Orgaz says: 
::Signals for a fellow officer to open the cargo bay doors, he nods his gratitude before stepping inside the cargo bay. Taking a quick look at the assembled officers he begins making his way towards the XO's direction. Taking a quick look at his PADD, he glances up at the XO again:: XO: Commander Pazoski, I presume?

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::turns towards the cargo doors and follows the person walking in::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::tries very hard not to throw up::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::squares himself up to the newcomer:: CTO: You better have a really good explanation about why you have just boarded our ship and beamed us all here ::visibly angry::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::wonders if anyone would notice if he just sat in the corner and went to sleep::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::waits for what to come::

FCO Lost says: 
::sitting in a corner shivering::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::hears a chattering:: FCO: oh god not you as well.

FCO Lost says: 
FCO: Are we going to die ... again?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
FCO: Again? hey I've not finished dying from last time yet!

CTO LtCmdr Orgaz says: 
XO: All in good time. ::Signals a few TOs behind to gather behind him:: Due to the temporal directive no one must know when you come from, I apologize for how.. disruptive our behavior may seem to you but I'm afraid we're pressed for time. You'll be beaming along with a few other officers to the San Francisco HQ. The rest of your crew will be beamed directly to the meeting location. I'm afraid were forced to give you

CTO LtCmdr Orgaz says: 
 a back story to lower already forming suspicion in the G12 committee.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::shakes his head and motions vaguely with his arms:: CTO: What are you talking about?  Why are we here?!

FCO Lost says: 
::starts crying::FCO: Why did you leave me at the helm??

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::starts walking slowly around the cargo bay looking everywhere::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
FCO: What are you on about? I was sitting at helm when they beamed us out...

FCO Lost says: 
FCO: Yes but I brought us to the pod...it’s my fault again

CTO LtCmdr Orgaz says: 
XO: Very basic, Commander. You're an XO on his way to getting his first command duty aboard one of our support ships. We'll of course require you to change your uniform.. ::Signals one of his TO to come closer with his load:: If anyone asks you anything, you just ignore them and move on. ::Ignores the XO's question:: I'm not in liberty to say anything else, you have a minute to get dressed or you'll be forcefully dressed by one of my TOs. Good day, Commander ::Walks away::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::listens with interest to the CTO::

FCO Lost says: 
ACTION: the TO leaves a bunch of uniforms in the cargo bay. One for each of the officers

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::changes his uniform rapidly::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
FCO: Will you pull yourse... FORCEFULLY DRESSED?!?!?!

FCO Lost says: 
FCO: Do I have to get in my underwear in front of everyone??

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::looks at the uniform and crosses his arms::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::sees the uniforms and the others changing and so does the same with an annoyed look on his face::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::throws the new uniform on over the old one::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::turns to look at his entire senior staff who are getting changed, his mouth drops open for a moment, then he shakes his head::

FCO Lost says: 
::runs from the FCO and finds the most empty spot possible to change::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::changed his uniform:: Self: That suits quite well.

Eldad says: 
ACTION: The group of TOs observes the XO with a wide smile on their face, with a quick look between them they rush to the XO and tackle him down. They begin undressing him.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::after pulling the new trousers on he turns to the TO's and tries to pull one off the XO::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::refrains from loudly pointing out the changing duty FCO::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::brings his elbow round in such a way as to connect quite nicely with the nose of one of the TO's::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::frowns at the XO::

Eldad says: 
ACTION: In their haste to undress the XO, they seem to have forgotten a few articles of clothes. No matter, a few seconds later and the XO is dressed in his new shiny uniform.

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
Self: He's always getting himself into troubles.

FCO Lost says: 
ACTION: The crew, with or without uniforms is beamed to a neat conference room

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::grunts at the TO's and puts his own top on, a little too small::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::blinks his eyes:: Self: Why? Not again!

FCO Lost says: 
ACTION: It has high windows showing a garden and what seems like golden gate bridge in the background. A Vulcan Admiral enters the room

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::chuckles at the half dressed duty FCO::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks around for the XO::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
OPS: Does he always disappear like this?

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
CEO: No, usually he doesn't, but he's quite good at getting into troubles. ::smiles:: CEO: But you didn't hear that from me.

FCO Lost says: 
ACTION: The Admiral nods to the group and exits through another door to meet the XO

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands in the middle of an unspecified room away from the rest of the crew and seeths, he was annoyed before but now...::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
ACTION: An Andorian female enters the room and greets the rest of the senior staff

Admiral Sovak says: 
::Glances at the Commander's direction, he nods briefly and takes a seat in one of the free seats:: XO: Sit down, Commander. Everything is about to get very clear. Something to drink perhaps?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::manages a smile despite the situation:: OPS: hear what? ::smiles:: This uniform is too tight...guess they were out of large ::stops midsentence as the Andorian enters::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: Welcome. I have instructions from Admiral Sovak to show you some equipment

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::chuckles at the CEO but turns to the door when the Andorian female enters::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
Self: Sovak, I hope it's not the same Sovak I recall.

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::merely rotates on the spot:: Sovak: With all due respect sir I would rather stand and it better get incredibly clear

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks at the Andorian wanting to speak, but stands back for the superior ranking officers to act::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: I do not know or care to know much about your previous assignment so please refrain from referencing to it

Admiral Sovak says: 
::Nods slowly, he takes a quick look at the XO's direction:: XO: Commander, I'm afraid I must insist that you'll seat down. My neck isn't what it used to. If you will, we'll get started.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::seems to drift off into his own little world::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::fidgets with his uniform::

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::nods to the Andorian female::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: As you have seen you have new uniforms and new badges. I hear you can work those out by yourselves....well ones more than others ::looks at lost and Sollo

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands perfectly still: Admiral: In the last 30 minutes I have been torn through time, abducted, assaulted and humiliated in front of my crew. Please explain to me what is so important that it will convince me to do anything to assist or in fact even listen to you.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Bond: I'm guessing we just tap them...unless technology has gone backwards

LtCmdr Bond says: 
CEO: I see you have some sort of old fashion waste belt?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::squints at the Andorian::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Bond: Old fash...Old...It's my tool kit ::emphasizes the word "my"::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
CEO: Yes tap them and request with whom you want to speak

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: You are not allowed to use weapons for the moment. But other than that all of Starfleet's equipment will be at your disposal and you can rely on me if you have any questions

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: Oh by the way I am Bond, Lieutenant Commander Bond

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
Self: How ironic...

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::mutters:: self: first name James by any chance?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::turns to OPS and talks quietly:: OPS: I'd like a ..new fashioned tool kit...permission to request one

LtCmdr Bond says: 
CEO: Your tool kit...I see. We'll get you a new one. One that is actually useful

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::turns to Bond:: Bond: useful?! What do you...my tools are...will I getting one back by any chance?

Admiral Sovak says: 
XO: Commander, I'll be brief. You and your crew has stumbled upon a temporal anomaly that was designed to lure a Starfleet ship from the 24th century to our time. Frankly, from what I was briefed upon we were expecting the Enterprise however I'm sure you'll do. Commander, what I'm going to tell you might not make sense to you but please keep your questions until I'll finish. A few years ago we've fought in a temporal cold war that left us vastly weakened in light of a new threat that seemed to rise. One of the direct results from this war was the formation of a specialized temporal task force. This limited our time travels efficiency by nearly 300%. Due to that and to a few other reasons I can't currently specify we're not able to send you back to your own time line at this stage.

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::frowns and notices he is the highest ranking officer present::

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: I asked you not to mention your past. As for the present ...Do you have any questions?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Bond: And maybe you could provide a PADD with the tools so I can work out how to use them, unless you don’t use PADDS anymore, Sir

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
Bond: We are free to go anywhere?

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::waves his hand dismissively:: Admiral: Thank you for that enlightening history lesson, but why did you want to "capture" a ship from the 24th century?  We do not belong here Admiral, you had no right to do what you did!

LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: Yes ::pulls up what looks like a small pen and opens it to reveal a screen. She taps thin air and hands it over to the CEO:: CEO: These should be the replacement for the tools you have there. Of course you won't know how to use them before you actually see your ship

Admiral Sovak says: 
XO: Therefore, effective now you'll be beamed over along with the rest of the Elara junior and senior crew to one of our Starbase located in this system. To lower suspicions, you'll be posing as officers from our time line until we can get the clearance to invoke a time travel. We've already issued a request however it's not as easy as we thought. You'll be our guests for now, I'm afraid Commander. Commander, I don't think you understand. We do not want you in our time, but we certainly have no intension to leave you in the middle of the Briar patch with an half crippled ship.

LtCmdr Bond says: 
OPS: I am afraid you can only visit the gardens but you cannot talk to anyone. When your commander returns from the briefing you have more information to be given

OPS LtJG Tar says: 
::frowns, but nods::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::perks up:: Bond: We get a new ship?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::takes the equipment:: Bond: Thank you Sir. New ship? My own 31st century warp core?

LtCmdr Bond says: 
::puts her hand over her mouth::Self: oops

Admiral Sovak says: 
XO: Upon your arrival to the Starbase you'll be issued temporary assignments, if you have any other questions then you may issue them to the station commander. Starfleet Temporal Agency controls the Starbase. ::Raises to leave:: Commander. ::Parts the room::

XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Admiral: Then you will find us a secure facility away from the general population, else contamination of the timelines is going to accrue ::shakes his head and sighs:: I give up, is there any point in arguing?  Send us to your damn Station but anything that happens is your responsibly Admiral, I want it on the record that I disapprove of this.

Admiral Sovak says: 
XO: Duly noted, Commander. ::Leaves::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
Self: we get a new ship!

Admiral Sovak says:
