=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10805.18 "Wheels within wheels within wheels, part II"=/\=

The USS Elara is in the Caitian home system aiding in the investigations on the death of Lieutenant Jo'Brel.

Commander Tar is to lead the USS Riix to the Atrandi asteroid belt and attempt contact with the Baroonian Empire. Once that is accomplished, he and some of the other senior  officers of the Elara are to take a clone of Commander Mesme and attempt to capture  the copy of his mind that was stored in a parallel universe, residing in different quantum phase.

The Elara crew has only a few hours to accomplish this, before they all die from atomic instability. They will take two Starfleet intelligence officers with them. Their primary agenda seems to be to observe the actions of the crew. But is that all?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
FCO: Helm, what is our ETA?

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Taps his console to find out just that:: OPS: ETA 10 minutes, commander.

SFI Koorah says:
::hasn't seen much of the crew in during the past few days. He arrives on the bridge of the defiant::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::taps his badge:: *CIVs*: Bridge to Drs 0101 and 1010, our ETA is 10 minutes.

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
::Walks around.::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Glances up from her musings, watching over her patient's bed:: *OPS*: We're ready, Commander. As we'll ever be, anyway.

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Nods in silent agreement  

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: The portal is ready, I took the liberty  of ... figuring out how it works

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
*CIVs*: Acknowledged. Bridge out. ::turns to the SFI talking to him:: Koorah: Good work, anything we have to look out for?

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Pokes the clone's leg with her finger:: 0101: Think we should wake it?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Shakes her head:: 1010: Only when the time is right.

SFI Koorah says:
::his antennae bend as he frowns:: OPS: Only two persons saw this universe. One is dead, the other apparently quit Starfleet.

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Sees the asteroid belt getting closer now and starts navigating around the rocks they are already encountering::

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: There is the question of the phase transition but you should know more about that than me. you were there

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::appears in the bridge::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Koorah: I'm aware of that. Thank you. How do we operate the portal?

SFI Koorah says:
::pulls up a heavy cube from under the console, one quite familiar to OPS, he got it from the Romulans:: OPS: Whenever you are ready I just transmit a small EM pulse and you have your door

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::clutching several odd armbands he approaches Lt. Cmdr Tar:: OPS: Commander, a moment please?

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
All: Getting scans from the asteroid belt. It seems all normal. Just a bunch of rocks.

ACTION: The Riix drops out of warp as she reaches her destination. The viewscreen shows the Atrandi asteroid belt, an apparently uninteresting pile of rocks

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Koorah: And it doesn't close unless we want it to? ::nods to Dr Lorin he'll be the next one::

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Turns around as they drop out of warp:: OPS: We've arrived.

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: That is a good question Mr Tar. The Romulan say it can only be closed from this side of the universe but they didn't tell us how they know this

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
::Checks his console further more.::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Koorah: I want you to keep an eye on that. I don't want to get stuck over there. ::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Acknowledged, hold this position.

SFI Koorah says:
CTO: Find us a large asteroid, where we can set up the portal. It won't work from inside the ship

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Sets the helm control to hold position:: OPS: Hold position, aye.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::walks over to Dr Lorin:: Lorin: Doctor?

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
SFI: Yes sir.

SFI Dr Lorin says:
OPS: Commander these ... ::motions to the armbands:: Are from Starfleet Medical, they are suppose to monitor our individual phase status There are some issues raised that not everyone’s physiology might hold up for the very specific timeframe granted to be in this other dimension. So they have offered us these Phase monitoring devices. Though tested in a Lab, they are not guaranteed to be totally accurate, if however we lose track of time it may…

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
::Looks on his console for a bigger asteroid. Sends the coordinates over to Dr Lorin and FCO.:: SFI Dr Lorin/Koorah: Coordinates are send. Check them out.

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::takes a breath:: OPS: Sorry .. umm  .. it may be the only means to know what our status is.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::frowns:: Lorin: I think that can be very useful. We need those precautions unless we want to end up dead over there.

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Received the coordinates and waits for the command to set a course to them::

SFI Koorah says:
::approaches Boktor and looks over his shoulder:: CTO: No, that one is too rough....scan that one ::points to a blip on the screen::

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::looks drained:: OPS: Indeed commander, all of us would like to make it home I think.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::nods and notices Lorin's expression:: Lorin: You're alright, doctor?

ACTION: In sickbay the clone now looks like a young Caitian adult, tail and all

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
::Looks over his shoulder towards, Koorah and frowns his eyebrow.::Koorah: Are you sure sir? That one is not that large. But ....::Stops talking.::

SFI Koorah says:
::eyes Boktor and points his antennae at him:: CTO: Yes. Give the coordinates to the FCO

ACTION: The clone's life signs are all working except for his upper cortex which shows no activity whatsoever, just as it was intended

SFI Dr Lorin says:
CTO: These finding look accurate to me.

SFI Dr Lorin says:
OPS: Do you need me for anything up here if not I would like to assist in Sickbay? ::puts his own monitor armband on in front of everyone as if by example::

SFI Koorah says:
::eyes Lorin:: Lorin: Go do doctor stuff will you?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Lorin: Thank you for these armbands. Please get to Sickbay to assist. ::nods::

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
Lorin: Well, in that case... here are these coordinates including the area scan. Coordinates are transmitted to FCO. ::Handed over a padd with the coordinates and the scan results.::

SFI Dr Lorin says:
Koorah: As a matter of fact ... Yes Doctor I want to make sure the host clone is prepared. 

SFI Koorah says:
::smiles back at Lorin, then ignores him and approaches Tar::

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: That ... Vulcan you have a tactical...he is a bit slow isn't he. are you sure you want to take him along?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Koorah: True, time is of the essence during this mission, but he's my senior tactical officer and I need him to make sure nothing happens to us.

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Receives another set of coordinates from the CTO but still keeps waiting for an order to set a course::

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: It’s your game. The portal has to be open in the vacuum of space so I found us an asteroid to set it up. We have to dock with it somehow. The portal cannot be transported

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
FCO: Helm, have you received the coordinates to the asteroid?

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::thinks on the remark on the CTO::

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
OPS: Coordinates received, standing by.

SFI Koorah says:
CTO/OPS: So, once we set up some sort of bridge to walk to the asteroid. we need to take the clone down

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
FCO: Set course to those coordinates. One quarter impulse.

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::given the Size of the Riix it does not take him much time at all to reach sickbay::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
Koorah: Find a way to set up such a bridge.

SFI FCO T`Weel says:
::Plots course to the given coordinates:: OPS: Course laid in.. Engaging at one quarter impulse. ::Engages the laid in route::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, have you got anything of possible dangers from the Baroonians, especially in our universe?

SFI Koorah says:
::raises his antennae:: OPS: I was told you couldn't do anything alone. I took the liberty of bringing a platform. Our pilot only has to coordinate the spin of the ship with that of the asteroid

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::enters sickbay looking around::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::frowns:: Koorah: You was told by whom? Not that I disagree with your actions and thinking ahead of those situations. Well done.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Glances up from her PADD:: SFI: Yes? Can we help you?

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Spares a quick glance at the new arrival::

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
OPS: Sir? I know nothing about them. Neither can I find any information. Only that they were able to arrest a Starfleet Officer.

ACTION: Lorin sees that sickbay was apparently transformed into a workshop. There is electronic equipment everywhere and at the center a biobed with the naked clone attached to a bunch of sensors

ACTION: The Riix slowly approaches one of the largest asteroids in the field

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::frowns at the naked clone he moves over to the monitoring read outs to confirm everything is in the green all the while looking around for a nurse::

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Shrugs and goes back to her PADD:: Lorin: Do mind the naked clone, will you? ::Returns her attention to her PADD::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
CTO: Scan the area for other vessels or potential dangers. I don't want surprises.

SFI Koorah says:
OPS: Whenever T'Weel puts us in position and the clone is ready I will extend the bridge. I set everything up

SFI Dr Lorin says:
CIVs: Umm .. have you  ::looks back and forth between the two not certain which one to address directly:: Been monitoring the clone status?

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
OPS: Yes sir.

CIV Dr 0101 says:
::Glances up from her console:: SFI: Of course, Doctor.

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::nods to Koorah and taps his badge:: *CIVs*: Bridge to Sickbay, we're about to 'dock' at an asteroid. Be ready to leave.

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
::Scanning the area for other ships. But nothing more than some fluctuations.:: OPS: Sir? I see some unusual quantum fluctuations, and a faint chronotron radiation which is not normal. There are no ships in the area.

SFI Dr Lorin says:
::looks at 1010 expecting more from the counterpart::

OPS LtCmdr Tar says:
::frowns again:: CTO: Clarify please.

CIV Dr 1010 says:
*OPS*: Sure, through someone will have to come here and dress the clone, Commander. ::Pauses:: I'm afraid we're not allowed to touch the clone, uh, ::Pauses, trying to find the words she's looking for:: Like that. ::Allows her voice to trail off::

SFI Dr Lorin says:
SFI Dr Lorin: ::overhears the COMM:: *OPS*: This is Doctor Lorin, I am in sickbay with the Binars and the clone I will take care of it Commander just  get us safely there.

CTO LtJg Boktor says:
CSO: What do you want me to clarify? With respect sir, can you be a bit more specific?

SFI Koorah says:
::watches the viewscreen in contemplation:

CIV Dr 1010 says:
::Steps back from the clone, pulling the cover as she moves back:: Lorin: Be our guest.
