=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10608.20 - "To Future come part II - A Step forward "=/\=

Host SM Lilia says: 
The USS Elara is being towed to a very different Starbase 123. It is the 31st century … come 31st century …

Host SM Lilia says: 
The Elara crew has been taken to the current Starfleet headquarters and their faith explained. Due to a malfunction in a time pod, she was left unprotected and when the emergency system to bring her back to the future was actioned, the Elara was brought along.

Host SM Lilia says: 
Due to yet unknown circumstances the crew of the Elara cannot yet be taken to their own time. They have been given new uniforms and will pose as 31st century officers for the time being.

Host SM Lilia says: 
Commander Pazoski and his men are now on the way for the full briefing of what is to be their future part in the Future

Host SM Lilia says: 
=/\==/\==/\==/\=Begin Mission=/\==/\==/\==/\=

Host Eldad says: 
ACTION: The crew finds themselves in a massive transport chamber, surrounded by a few dozen other officers going about their way.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::looking around again::

Ens Lost says: 
::sits on the floor of the chamber, still stunned at the new uniform, he absently minded fiddles with the combadge::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::blinks:: FCO: Hopefully we will end up in one place for longer than half an hour, this is getting ridiculous.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::walks slowly with the new specifications of the new tools he received with a look of awe on his face::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
::Glances up from his PADD as he notices the new arrivals in the chamber, he raises from his seat and begins making his way towards them. Slowing down, he takes a quick close at the small party of people before turning his attention towards the XO' direction:: XO: Pazoski?

Host SM Lilia says: 
ACTION: As he touches it, one of the tools sends a small electrical discharge to the CEO

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: I don't think I've been moved about like this since I joined the academy.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::looks at the new arrival and sizes him up:: TO: Yes, you are?

Ens Lost says: 
::jumps back as the thing begins to vibrate and drops it, then slowly approaches the badge again seeing it stopped. Then looks around to see if no one noticed::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
XO: Lieutenant Jackson, I'm your escort for the day. If you'll follow me please?

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
::Turns around, he begins making his way towards what appears to be the exit for the chamber::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::is vaguely aware of Lost doing something rather strange behind him, looks in the FCO's direction:: FCO: When this is done I could really do with a drink.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks up from his PADD up at the TO then back to the PADD::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::follows the TO:: All: Let’s move on.

Ens Lost says: 
::looks at the others waiting for them to move, then spots the CEO and whispers::CEO: I think this is a joke

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: A drink? by the looks of what's happened so far I think we're lucky to have time for a breath. ::smiles::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::follows behind the XO::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Sir, is someone going to repair...no wait I don't trust these people tinkering with my systems..Is there any chance I might be able to start repairs on our ship before we go back to our century?

Ens Lost says: 
::walks along::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
::Shoves a few unfamiliar looking aliens from his way as he finally makes it to the doors, with a quick look behind him to make sure he was still followed he finally part the chamber. With quick glance in both directions he turns to his right and resumes walking to another large chamber though not as crowded as the previous one was::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: A low rumble can be felt in the station; a few moments later the station lights turn red. A loud alert can be heard over the internal communication.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::makes a motion to the CEO which he hopes conveys the not talking about the "our century" thing:: CEO: I am sure they will do a good job at repairing the ship, I will see if I can get you to oversee the repairs though, you will be more familiar with the ships systems.

Ens Lost says: 
All: Not again! I quit

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Are you kidding me...they wouldn’t know what to do without me...they think that beauty is "old fashioned" ::smiles::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::looks around at the pretty red lights as he walks::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
TO: Mr. Jackson, where are you taking us?

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
::Glances around in shock as he notices the chaos that just erupted in the room, with a loud curse he turns to face the XO:: XO: Don't move! ::Runs away from the room::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: A group of around 20 aliens beam to the very same chamber as the Elara crew, most of them takes one good look towards them before opening fire at their directions.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands and watches the TO run away and mumbles:: All: Okay people, let’s move to the edge of the room, out of everyone’s way while our "escort" deals with whatever is going on

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::falls to the ground:: All: What the...

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::watches the aliens arrive:: All: Everyone take cover!

Host SM Lilia says: 
ACTION: The aliens are dressed in full body armor so their race is not clear. The leader shouts "nobody move!"

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::Peeks out from under whatever it was he dived under::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::takes out his phaser and points it in the general area of the aliens, waiting for confirmation from the XO::

Host Alien Leader says: 
All: There is no point in resisting. Leave your weapons ::motions his team to keep firing::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::looks at the CEO and speaks really clearly:: CEO: Put your weapon down Ensign.

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: A group of around 200 Starfleet officers rush the chamber, as soon as they notice the invaders they surround the Elara crew and all hell breaks loose.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::calmly lowers his weapon without argument:: XO: I was hoping you wouldn't make me use this

Host Alien Leader says: 
::shoots in the direction of the FCO when he looks up. His hair is slightly burnt and starts to smell::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::ducks again and shouts over the hell that has broken:: XO: Hey! That guy shot at me... is he allowed to do that?!?

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: Slowly, one by one the Starfleet officers begin to fall down from the Aliens superior weapons, what was a group of 200 officers was now down to around 50 officers.

Host Alien Leader says: 
::puts a small device on Lt Yellow’s uniform (Elara's officer) and he is beamed away. Others are beamed as well by other aliens::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
All: Okay people, let’s get out of here, make for that entrance ::points to an exit away from the Aliens and heads off in that direction, keeping low::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: I really think we may have to change our minds about the phasers

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::picks his PADD up and crouches his way towards the pointed exit::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO/CEO: We are not going to engage these things, we have no idea what is happening.

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The entrances to the chamber are closely guarded by the aliens, there's only way out now. By fighting.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::runs after the XO also staying low::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Sir, can we be really so important to have other officers dropping dead for us? It's unethical!

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The Starfleet officers number decrease to 20 officers, most of them lying down in twitching piles on the floor. The rest slowly disappear into thin air.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Yeah... why the hell are they protecting us anyway?

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: Five officers left.

Host Alien Leader says: 
::shouts to her officers "we want the healthy ones"::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: I don't mean to question orders sir, but I only just learned these specs and I'd hate it to be for nothing

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::notes he cannot get out and draws his phaser, looks at the familiar but slightly alien design:: FCO/CEO: Okay, aim for the non vital bits and keep moving.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::draws his weapon thingy and starts shooting::

Host Alien Leader says: 
::moves towards the XO with a device in his hand and weapon held high::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks at his phaser:: Phaser: You heard the man..non vital bits..wherever they are... ::aims his phaser to the alien heading to the XO and fires::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: Only the Elara crew remains now, their weapons seem to have the desired effect as the aliens slowly fall back.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::sets the phaser to what he thinks is max stun and fires at what could be the Alien Leader::

Host Alien Leader says: 
::dives and has only the armor scratched. She was sure they wouldn't fire::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::fires again but into the air hoping it'll scare the attackers to slow down a bit::

Host Alien Leader says: 
::from the floor she fires at Pazoski aiming for the legs::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::watches the alien dive in his direction and sidesteps, firing again::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The Alien leader hits the XO, he's sent a few meters back from the impact. The group of aliens slowly closes on him.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::keeps firing, not really knowing what exactly he's aiming at::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::fires into the group of aliens around the XO and risks his position by standing and moving closer to the aliens before crouching again::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::shakes himself and looks at the phaser:: Self: Come on you stupid thing you must have a wide beam setting... ::presses a few buttons, aims and fires at the advancing aliens::

Host Alien Leader says: 
::gets up to her feet even though her left arm was neutralized and holds a weapon at Pazoski's back...and fires::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::sees the XO hit and dives into the side of the one who fired::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::swings round and aims at the head of the alien that fire into the XO's chest and fires::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: As if in slow motion the energy beam discharge from the alien weapon, not being able to do anything in time the XO slowly remains still as he watches his life passes before his eyes.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
FCO: I hope you've got some medical training...this isn’t exactly a warp core that needs an overhaul

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::wonders if he should have done more with his life and braces himself:: Self: Oh...

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::watches the XO collapse and starts looking for the earliest time he can safely get to him::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The beam gets reflected from the XO's body by a strange energy field; the beam gets thrown back in the Alien Leader direction and hits her directly in her chest. Screaming, she vaporizes into thin air.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
All: What the... XO: Sir, are you okay? ::fires weapon at another alien::

Host Alien Leader says: 
::turns into a bunch of gaseous molecules::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The aliens realizing that their leader is gone slowly fall back into one corner. Moments later they're gone.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands awestruck for a moment:: CEO: I... think so...

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::takes what he thinks is a 31st century tricorder and flicks it open to scan the XO:: XO: If I may...

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::shakes himself:: All: What the hell was that all about, is everyone okay?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Hold on... ::shoots an alien:: ...now I'm ok.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Apart from the 150 bodies over there making the new carpet....::scans the XO::

Ens Lost says: 
::gets up from behind a crate shaking::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::spots Lost:: Lost: What are you doing over there?

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The Starbase shakes a few times, the shaking seems to slowly increase in frequency. A few moments pass before the speakers call for a station evacuation.

Host SM Lilia says: 
<Speakers> All personnel proceed to the signed escape pods and vessels

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: This is getting Ludicrous... I don't suppose they told you where our new ship is?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Looks like nothing is wrong with you...but what was that ...thing...that bounced that beam back?

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CEO: I have no idea, it wasn't anything I did though.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::the Andorian arrives, her uniform torn::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
XO: How are your men? ::makes her way to check a side panel::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Well if we'd known, 150 officers wouldn’t have been taken down first. ::closes the tricorder::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::listens to the claxons:: FCO: I think perhaps that we should be trying to find a way out of here first.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Well, a ship would be a great way out.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Bond: Commander, what on Earth is going on here? ::motions around him:: What have you put us in the middle of?!

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: A very large crash can be heard outside the chamber they're in, followed by a dozen screaming voices.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::goes to an adjacent room where the transporter pads are, then back out::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
XO: The station was attacked; we are starting the self destruct so they don't get her. Follow me to the transporter pad, all of you

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::turns to look at the door:: XO: would you listen to that? They’re having a party without us.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::goes to the adjacent transporter room:: All: I see they took some of you ... too bad

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
Bond: Who were those aliens? ::follows her::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
CEO: If only I knew ...

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The Elara crew can see a red glowing light at one of the walls junctions, the light slowly moves to one of the other walls. The light appears to be cutting the walls.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Bond: Too bad?! I don't know how it works here but in my time we value the lives of Starfleet Officers, we are getting them back.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: don't let that hit you, it'll cut you in half ::starts working the transporter controls then yells::All: everyone in the PAD! you are lucky this thing is working

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks to the XO for confirmation on orders::

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: As the Elara crew exit the chamber they're met face to face with deck breach, in front of them they can see the endless stars. The only thing saving them from being thrown into it is a strong energy field.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
XO: Getting them back from where? I will take you to the admiral then you can present your case

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::stands himself on the transporter PADD and thinks several thoughts about Commander Bond, most of which would get him arrested:: All: Let’s get out of here.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::stands on an empty spot of the transporter::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::punches a final button on the controls::All: 30 seconds to get into position ::races to stand next to the XO;;

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Bond: Where are we going?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::stands on the pad::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Somewhere sunny I hope.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::looks at the fighting ships outside and waits to transport:: Self: damn 31st century

Host TO LtJG Jackson says: 
ACTION: The beam slowly moves in their direction.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
ACTION: The Elara senior crew is beamed to another transporter room. This one in one piece

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: welcome to the USS Haste

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Bond: We have been here. I presume we are getting as far away from that Starbase as possible?

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
XO: Very likely. You...your FCO and I guess your CEO follow me. I will take you to Captain O'Neal

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
All; I guess your CEO?

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: A new ship AND a new Captain?

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
All: If you will? ::Makes her way towards the nearest TL::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::gets into the TL::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::follows the XO::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: We won’t be flying one of these ships for a while Mr. Sollo, I would say for at least, oh... 700 years.

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::follows Bond:: CEO: I don't think that was meant as an insult Ensign.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Permission to make the most of the opportunity? ::grins::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::wonders what the specs of this ship are::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::Arrives at the Bridge::

Host SM Lilia says: 
ACTION: The corridors of the Haste are rather boringly white. I guess in 7 centuries Starfleet didn’t get more imaginative

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::steps out and looks around::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::walks onto the bridge immediately trying to locate the engineering console::

Cpt ONeal says: 
::looks at the new comers:: Bond: In my ready room

Host SM Lilia says: 
ACTION: A spectacular view screen shows a 3D projection of space in front of the ship. They are at warp

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::Nods, she makes her way with the Elara crew to the Haste ready room::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::spots what looks like a flight console::

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::wanders slowly in last place distracted from the view screen:: Bond: what speed are we going...what kind of warp engines let you do that?

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
::heads into the Captains RR:: FCO: You might get a go later.

Cpt ONeal says: 
::whispers:: Bond: It’s bad enough they have to see the bridge, the less time they spent there the better. I made my ready room look a lot more ancient

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::runs after the rest of the group:: XO: Did you see that screen? ::grinning like an excited schoolboy::

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
CEO: Ensign, no questions about that sort of thing, we don't want or need to know.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
CO: Understood, Captain. I'm afraid it will only get worse from now on. We have new orders, Ma'am.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Sorry Sir, curiosity I guess

Host SM Lilia says: 
ACTION: As they enter the ready room, the crew feels like they have gone into an old western tavern. Though there is a big desk. O'Neal takes the one seat on one of the sides and there are seats for the others across her

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
XO: Aw what's the harm Commander, they'll probably screw with our memories before they send us back anyway.

Cpt ONeal says: 
Bond: But the more I can avoid ...

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
::Nods:: CO: Captain. ::Nods gravely:: SB 123 was destroyed, temporal agents are now handling the situation. Starfleet command deems it no longer safe to remain in this location. We've identified the attackers and we're under orders to peruse them. We'll be rendezvousing with the flag ship at the meeting location as soon as possible. The Enterprise is already awaiting us. 

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
FCO: Probably, but you can never tell. Better to be safe

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
XO: Enterprise..what must be 1701-Z by now

Cpt ONeal says: 
Bond: Yes, I was partially briefed. Though I wonder what Starfleet wants to do with ...them. I guess put them to good use.

Cpt ONeal says: 
::speaks up::All: We are still dealing with your Time issue but a more pressing matter has come up...and Matter is indeed the key word here

Host XO LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
Cpt ONeal: With all due respect we would prefer to stay in one of your guest quarters out of the way.  We are not going to get involved in your little war, just as long as you get our people back.

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::sits down::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::blinks::

Cpt ONeal says: 
XO: Unfortunately that is not an option. We have found a corridor in the delta quadrant which connects to an anti-matter universe. This in itself is no news. However, this time the aliens crossing from it used a temporal transporter system to get to SB 123

Cpt ONeal says: 
All: It is too much of a coincidence you were there and they went to your room specifically. We think you were the target

Cpt ONeal says: 
All: we have a similar transportation system but only in a few selected entrance points. One such point is Utopia planitia. We are heading there

Cpt ONeal says: 
All: simple huh?

CEO Ens JoBrel says: 
::shakes his head in disbelief::

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
::blinks again::

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
XO: Commander, I can understand if this is a bit hard to believe but I'm afraid of we don't have much time to spare. Assuming indeed that you're the targets no matter what time line you'll be in you'll be tracked after. Our best bet is to keep you, for now, in this current time line. However, we don't have much time to lose. We have to leave as soon as possible.

FCO LtJG Sollo says: 
Self: Leave? I thought we were already going.

Host LtCmdr Bond says: 
ACTION: A quick time warp, the crew are seconds away from being teleported once again.

Host LtCmdr Bond says:
