Summary
The USS Nighthawk arrived in an unknown system, to find a probe of some sort.  They managed to scan it and find out that it similar to Dylan Whittiker, the passenger that they had picked up from the station they came from.  But before they can investigate any further Ensign Knight, thrusted the Nighthawk into Warp 9.75 and faster.  Now where will they end up?  Find out next week.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CO's Log Stardate 10403.20: The crew of the Nighthawk have been stuck in this alternate dimension for several months now, no doubt we have been listed as MIA.  We are currently pursuing all possible angles to getting home.  So far none of them are promising....we are continuing our search.

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Walks out of the quarters he has been assigned into the closest Turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::enters the bridge, looks around and walks over to Commander Monroe:: XO: Reporting, sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::In sickbay playing with Sid's daughter..... dress up of course... after buying the child tons of clothes.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::exits his quarters, a bit sleepy and heads to the TL to get to sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::in his ready room, lying down on the couch with a stack of reports and a picture of his son lying on his chest::

CIV_Whittiker says:
:;Walks out of the Turbolift onto the bridge:: XO: You rang?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Smiles as the child giggles... she taps her combadge.::  *XO*:  There is a young lady here who is dying to go home...  what do you think about granting her wishes..?  ::Tickles her little feet.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::exits the TL and heads to sickbay::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Take an empty seat, counselor.  We'll see what is up ahead.  CIV: Yeah, have you been in this region before?  *CMO*: Naw...

CIV_Whittiker says:
XO: If I have, I don’t remember.  Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
*XO*:  Fine then... I'll keep her... you snooze you loose.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::enters sickbay and looks around for Anita::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::picks the stack of reports up and pushes them off to the side.  Standing up he looks out the window as the stars fly by::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::takes a seat at the science console::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Hears someone enter sickbay and turns and sees Aaron.::  FCO:  Aaron!  I'm glad you came down... I've been hearing some things that are not making me happy.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at Dylan:: CIV: I think you have the resources to get information about this region....

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::smiles and walks towards Anita::  CMO:  And what would those things be?  You know I wouldn't purposely do something to make you unhappy.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Picks up the baby and places her against her shoulder.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks out of his ready room and onto the bridge::  

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CMO*:  I'll grab her at the end of the shift...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: FCO: Something about being obsessive...

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Captain ::Stands::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
*XO*:  Sorry Sir, but I've got the room made up... ::Giggles so he knows she is teasing::  I'm a keeping the darling... Santiago out.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: As you were Commander...how's our progress?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::lowers his head and kind of mumbles::  CMO:  Yeah, you can say that.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  And we need to speak of that mumbling... ::Turns serious::  What is going on Aaron?

CIV_Whittiker says:
XO: What makes you say that?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Dancing with the baby she motions for Aaron to have a seat on the nearest biobed.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
*CMO*: What? ::gets cut off::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CMO:  I wish I knew Anita!  There's times when I think I'm going crazy trying to figure out those dreams I'm having.  I've been up 16 hours a day, trying to see if I can piece together any information.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Dreams, what dreams?...  ::With her free hand she picks up her tricorder.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: We are slowly making our way through, no foreseeable danger as of yet..

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::sits quietly, watching the dynamics on the bridge::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Glances over at the CNS::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CMO:  Not a time doesn't go by when I sleep that I don't get some sort of images about the stars in this system.

ACTION: Redlights on the flight console flash.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Begins scanning Aaron's head.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks over to the operations console and stands behind it, looking at the console before pulling up a reading on all power systems:: XO: Very Good...let's see if we can get there a bit faster

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Have you let anyone play with your mind lately?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles at Dylan, spots the blinking console and moves over to see what's going on::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::chuckles::  CMO:  Why Dr., is that an offer?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Aye Captain.  *FCO*: Report to the bridge.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles::  FCO:  If you are so inclined.  ::Winks then hears the com.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
*XO*:  On my way!

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CMO:  Think we can pick up where we left off when I'm not needed on the bridge?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  Aaron, report back here after your shift.   I'll walk up to the bridge with you.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters:: CO: Sir, we have an asteroid field on sensors. Change course or go through?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Places the baby back into her crib and goes to the replicator... replicates a name tag... Anise Santiago just to get Sid's goat.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::starts to head out of sickbay::  CMO:  I'd be honored Anita!  ::grins::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Runs after Aaron.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::satisified with what he sees on the operations console he moves to his chair in the center of the bridge:: CNS: How denesly pack is it?

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Stands on the bridge, watching the interplay between officers, recording everything.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Not too densely, sir. We should be able to get through without too much hassle and a good pilot at the helm.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Walks beside Aaron:: FCO:  Have you spoken to V?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CMO:  Yes, he sensed my restlessness from the dreams and actually stayed the night to see if he could figure anything out.  But it was a dead end.

CIV_Whittiker says:
::A puzzled look crosses his face as a very strong sense of Deja vu sweeps over him, then is gone.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::grins a bit:: CNS: Good...let's let Ensign Knight have some fun!  ::leans back into his chair and shouts to noone in particular:: Viewscreen on

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over at Dylan:: CIV: Deja vu?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO:  He never said anything to me...  ::Frowns::  Have you been more tired the normal?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::presses the control and the viewscreen flares to life::

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: I could have sworn...  but it's gone now.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CIV: Try and remember, it could be important.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::sighs::  CMO:  Unfortunately, yes.  I've just been so obsessed with trying to figure the dreams out, that I've been spending most of my time in stellar cartography.

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS; If could remember, i woudl have told someone.  Trust me on that.  ::Is now a little irritated::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods:: FCO:  SO you are stressed too...  ok I'll do a full work up them...  ::Enters the TL.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::enters the TL and requests the bridge::  CMO:  Thanks Anita, I knew I could count on you.

ACTION:  A starfield appears on the screen slashed across with an astroid belt quickly approaching.  In the distance, glows four stars in a vaguely familiar pattern.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
FCO: Next time don't take so long to see me... if anything we could play poker and get drunk.  I'd hate to have to explain to your brother why you are in the shape you are in.

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Looks at the four stars::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Well, I hope he gets here soon. We're almost upon the field. ::shifts a bit and makes ready for fancy flying.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::laughs a bit::  CMO:  Oh Please don't tell Ethan about any of this....he'd have my hide!

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles::  FCO:  Make no mistake I will if I have to... besides I'm more scared of Ethan then I am of you.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks and shrugs:: CO: He's on his way.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::laughs as the TL doors open::  CMO:  You and me both!  ::heads to the helm::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Aaron... we'll need you in a few minutes. Asteroid field.~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Steps onto the bridge and looks for her chair.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::sits down at his station::  CO:  Orders sir?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over his shoulder as he hears Aaron's voice:: FCO: And not a moment too soon. ::gets up and goes to the science console::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::The feeling happens again...  stronger and more specific::  Self: Those stars...  ::Very quietly::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes her seat and crosses her legs... back straight.. at the med console.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sees the FCO enter the bridge:: FCO: Thank you for coming...I'd thought you might enjoy taking us through this asteroid field.  ::points at the viewscreen:: Up to the challenge?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Shoots a "I am going to get you" stare at the CMO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Winks and tosses Sid the name tag she made up.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks sharply at Dylan:: CIV: What do you mean?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::cracks his knuckles and rubs his hands together::  CO:  You bet sir!

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::grins:: FCO: Good...take us in!

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: Something about those stars...  but I'm not sure what...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CIV:  Well I know they are pretty...

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the name tag... then make a face at the Doctor::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::activates the science console:: FCO: I'll shout if there are any large ones in our way.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Sticks her tongue out at the Cmdr.::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::enters some commands into his console and slowly takes the NH in::  CO:  Aye sir!

CIV_Whittiker says:
CMO: More than that...

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CIV: Yes, they are pretty, but you sound like you've seen them before.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CIV:  Like what?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Plugs his ears and looks the other way::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Laughs at the antics of the XO.::

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: I'm not sure.  ::Is getting really tense::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::turns briefly to notice the new face on the bridge and returns to his concentration of guiding the NH through the asteroid belt::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CIV: Then try... it could mean more than we realise.

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: Im trying, but it keeps slipping away.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns at his console:: CO: Sir, there is an object in the middle of the belt. Unknown what it is at this stage.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CO:  Shall I set course for that object?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::gives a strange look at Varesh:: CNS: Not an asteroid?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head:: CO: Not sure, sir. Waiting for more detailed information, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::shakes his head in a yes position:: FCO: Let's see what it is

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::enters the coordinates and brings the NH into the direction of the unknown object::  CO:  Aye.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::glances over at the CIV, a sympathetic look on his face:: CIV: I can understand that.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at the viewscreen and runs a scan to see if the object is biomatter.::

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: I somehow doubt that.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CIV: Is it just a feeling?

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: I'm not sure if its jsut a feeling, or a feeling that has a basis in reality....

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns at his console again:: CO: Sir, I can't get proper readings. Unknown material, unknown energy emissions. The computer cannot make any kind of match.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO:  Well I can confirm the object is not biomatter.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CO:  Sir, ETA to the object in two minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::a strange look comes upon his face:: CMO/CNS: Really?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns to his XO:: XO: Suggestions Commander?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CIV: Can you show me? ::raises an eyebrow::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Closes his eyes and leans against a bridge wall::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::taps a sequence to confirm:: CO: I'm getting something, sir. Some kind of message.

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: It could be a ship...

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO:  I suggest we send out a message..

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
CO/XO:  Now this is interesting... the object is only about the size of a breadbox....

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks over to the Doctor::CMO: Any lifesigns?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Can you understand it?  

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Is it coming from the object?

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
CO:  Sir, permission to bring it up on the viewscreen?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
XO:  Checking...  ::runs additional scans::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Pokes aorund the surrounding space with his mind, trying to see if there is anything there::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
FCO: Granted...

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::brings the object up on the viewscreen, trying to make it out::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I... There's something familiar about the voice, sir... I'm trying to remember where. The message originates from near the object, not the object itself.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
XO:  Nadda, zilch zip....  A probe maybe?

ACTION:  A small metalic box covered in symbols the crew has seen before covers it.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Can you get a transporter lock on it?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
All: Those symbols...

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: Yes.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head to clear it, then turns with amazement:: CO: Sir... the voice is his! ::points at Dylan::

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: WHAT?!

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::is surprised at what the CNS has just stated::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up at the metalic box::  CNS: You certain?

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: Yes. are you certain?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::shifts in his chair to see the CIV:: CNS: What does it say Counselor?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: All: Yes, quite certain.

CIV_Whittiker says:
::raises an eyebrow so high that it will take a crew of people a week to get it down from the ceiling::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Varesh, do we really know who this CIV is?  Maybe we should take some precaution.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::looks up at the viewscreen to see the symbols, they are the same ones on his looking stone, standing up he moves closer to the viewscreen::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Slowly goes for a phaser beside the Doctor's Console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: We know of him what is in the database... he used to serve on the Scimitar, my previous assignment.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Cannot establish the message content, sir. Its too broken up, but I can recognize his voice.

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::vision starts to get darker and soon starts to look as if he is staring into space::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Feels the tension rise on the bridge.::

CIV_Whittiker says:
CNS: I'd liek to hear it, personally.  If no-one minds, that is.  Seeing as its apparently my voice.  :;Deeply sarcastic tone of voice::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks around, his hair practically standing on end with the sudden tension on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Commander have those symbols ::points to the viewscreen:: scaned and cross-refrenced with those on the looking stones

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: On speakers?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::looks worridly over at V.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods his approval to the CNS::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::Turns around and uses the Doctors Console::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::pushes the button, looking over at Aaron... noticing his stare::

ACTION:  The broken up voice of Whittiker can be heard, but the words are too broken for understanding.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up and walks over to the helm:: FCO: Aaron.

ACTION: The ship fades from the FCO's view to be replaced by the vision of a planet.  Unconsciously his hand reaches out and he enters the coordinates, before pushing the ship up to full power.  The ship suddenly jumps to warp 9.75.

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Is just speachless::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::unconsciously enters some commands into his console::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Waits a bit then:: CO: They are the Same.... ::Takes a little hop::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::reaches out to stop Aaron, too late:: CO: Captian! ::tries to push Aaron out of the way::

ACTION:  As the FCO enters more commands, the ships energy matrix alters, pushing the ship over warp 10 and increasing.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::quickly notices the change in speed:: FCO: Ensign what are you doing?  ::runs up the FCO and tries to remove him::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Doctor...

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Grabs a hypo out of her med kit and rushes over to Aaron::  CO:  I can sedate him if you like?

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Notices the speed, and Runs over to the Engineering Console and Tries to Shut down the Warp Core::

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::resists as he feels someone trying to remove him::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO: Do it!

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Grabs something as the ships speed increases exponentially:: All: Does this kind of thing happen often?  ::Feels himself spread over the entire universe as the velocity of the ship crosses the transwarp barrier::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Presses they hypo against Aarons neck.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Aaron!~~~

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::goes unconscious::

ACTION:  The vibrations of the ship increase as warnings come in from engineering.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::removes the FCO and jumps into his chair, trying to pilot the Nighthawk safley::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::shouts:: XO: Can you shut down the core?

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Grabs Aaron by the shirt collor and with a grunt drags him away from the console.::

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::holds onto the console, studying it a moment:: CO: Cut the feeds to the warp core.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::tries to slow them down from the FCO's console::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Would try to help but doesn't have clearance for anything::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Slams his fists on the console:: CO: No, sir, not by conventional means.. I am going to try to unbalance the mmixture... I might fry a few boards but it will probably bring us out.

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Best you wake him up! ::points at Aaron:: He could be our only hope.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Yells:: XO:  Oh great now you want to blow us up!  CNS:  I need my med kit!

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
::goes to the medkit stored at the back of the bridge and brings it to Anita:: CMO: Will this do?

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Whatever it takes!!  ::continues to fly the Nighthawk::

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Grabs the kit.:: CNS:  In a pinch... ::Pulls out another hypo and presses it against Aarons neck.::

XO_LtCmdr_Monroe says:
::Inputs the forulation, and watches the balances slip on one side::

CIV_Whittiker says:
::Looking up:: Someone: You're really having fun, arn't you?

CNS_LtCmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Then pinch hard, gypsy.

CMO_LtCmdr_Santiago says:
::Pinches V hard for good measure.::

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CMO/CNS: Find out what he was trying to do!

FCO_Ens_Knight says:
::slowly opens his eyes....unaware of his surroundings::  CMO: Wha...what happened?

ACTION: As the XO unmixes the matrix, a deadly silence takes hold of the ship as it ceases to vibrate.
