Time Lapse
A week.  There will be a brief meeting at the beginning of next weeks mission at the academy.

Captain's Log Stardate 10509.17: We have docked for repairs from our last mission.  Command has granted us a well deserved shoreleave for the duration of the repairs.  I have ordered the crew to use this time, as will I.

<<<<<<<<<< When the weary rest... >>>>>>>>>>

Cns Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Shakes the remnants of the vision from him, and makes his way to the coast, where he can see a flyer doing swoops.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: In his quarters packing::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sits in the lounge in civilian clothes, moving her fingers around a glass of water and looking out the window to the inside of the SB docking bay::

ACTION:  In sickbay, all is quiet as the lone medical officer keeps an eye on his two patients, unknowingly another scenario is being acted out unseen.

CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Laughing in delight, knowing full well she could fly the area, not caring at all her older brother would probably throttle her later, just knowing that Hunter would get it too.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Looks around as he reaches the cliffs, feeling a familiar mind, but its more juvinile than he remembers::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
::Finishes the glass and makes her way out the door::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sitting on the now quiet bridge, staring at a few reports, just to keep his mind from wandering to Rose's status, afraid he'd have to admit the worst::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Finishes packing then heads out of his quarters::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: In his quarters, he puts on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt before heading out the door to head to sickbay::
Admiral Harlan says:
:: Asks her Aide to send Monroe a message she would like to see him before he heads to Earth, now that he is out of quarantine.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Calls aloud:: CIV: Bri! Where are you?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts a quick dash to the TL, and heads for the bridge for a quick check before heading down::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Thinking she hears a voice that is familiar, but not her brothers, she swoops the ship upward above the cliffs and levels her out.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Takes her badge from a small purse she is carrying:: *XO* Gomes to Jackson
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks up as he is contacted on the comm:: *OPS*: Jackson here.... Go ahead..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Walks into the TL:: Computer: docking hatch
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Looks out over the sea, its kind of dark and broody, the way he feels, but then tries calling Brianna again:: CIV: Brianna Rose, don't make me call you twice.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*XO*: I am going down to Earth. My family has a big house in Europe. I was wondering if you would like to join me. I do not think you can do much up here
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Arrives on the bridge::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Sees a vaguely familiar face and brings the shuttle daringly to his side with a swoosh of air to look at him.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Exits the TL and heads toward sickbay::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Exits the TL and heads for the hatch::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks around the fairly empty bridge:: XO: Everything set?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Almost gets knocked over, then turns as the flyer swoops past:: Self: yep, that's her alright.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks around startled:: CO: Uhm.. Yes captain, they should be...
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Looks at him curiously.::  CNS:  Who are you?  You are on Rose land.  Are you one of my brother’s friends?
CO Capt Monroe says:
XO: Then get out of here. ::Leans over the Command Chair, and picks up his sunglasses, notices a blinking light::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
*OPS*: I think I will pass on that offer, Alex.. I want to be here when there is news about Brianna... You'll understand...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Looks at the younger version of Bri:: CIV: I am a friend of yours, when you are older and serving on the same ship as me. But I'm not sure why you are as you look.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Taps the blinking light, and reads the message on the small screen::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Frowns:: XO: It seems my shore leave will have to wait.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Enters sickbay and sees the Dr::  MO:  How are they doing Dr.?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*XO*: I still think there isn’t much you can do here, the doctors can contact you. I will have my badge so if you change your mind you know how to find me
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Gives him a frown as she thinks about that.::  CNS:  I am already on a ship... :: Points to her brothers flier.::  You are rather old to be my friend, aren't ye?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods invisibly to Gomes' statement, then turns to Monroe:: CO: Problems sir?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: Its in a future you still have to experience. ::tries to think why she would have reverted to childhood in her mind::
MO Doyle says:
:: Looks up:: FCO:  The same as usual.  Though there does seem to be more brain activity going on with commander Varesh then should be normal for one in a coma.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts for the TL:: XO: Commander, make sure you get some shore leave.  I have an appointment with the Admiral.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
MO:  Is that normal?
MO Doyle says:
 FCO:  Not really... something must be going on that we don't know about.
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Wisely:: CNS:  The future is later.  Now is now.  :: Starts to take the flier back out.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
TL: Transporter Room 1.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Intercepts her:: CIV: Tell me, are you having fun?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
MO:  Perhaps that is a good sign.  Is there anything I can do?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods as the CO leaves and turns around again, looking at the calm bridge again::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Leaves his quarters and heads for the Starbase:: Self: Time for some fun
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Listens to the hum of the TL.  Thinks of how the Admiral got found::
MO Doyle says:
FCO:  Quite honestly, I don't know.  This is out of my field.  Now that we are out of quarantine, some specialists should be arriving in the next hour or so.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Finds a nearby console on the Starbase, right next to the Nighthawk hatch and starts looking fo something::
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS:  A blast.  :: Her grin widens into childish glee.::  And later too... even if I won't be able to sit for a week, neither will Hunter.  He will be oh so grounded.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks over the ship compliment that arrived from Earth recently::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Leaves the TL and heads for the Transporter Room, steps in and stands on the padd, and nods to the transporter chief::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: She is looking for a very specific name:: Self: It has to be here.
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Walks down a corridor leading to the main area of the Starbase:: Self Oh while I forget ::Takes off his comm badge and sticks it to the corridor:: Self: No one is interrupting this vacation
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Tries a different course of reasoning:: CIV: I would admit this can only be fun, but could you see if you can remember Gary?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
MO:  I feel so helpless not being able to do something.  I don't know how the Captain expects us all to enjoy ourselves on leave while these two are still in comas.  If there is anything you can think of that I might help with, please let me know immediately.  Since I am unfamiliar with some of the new crew, I will just be in my quarters.

ACTION:  The CSO, his mind on having some fun, runs into OPS.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Gets up from his chair and walks to the exit too, to go and find something to read in his quarters::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Frowns:: CNS:  Why?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Looks up from her search:: CSO: Ah hello Lt
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Gets beamed to the surface, and heads to see the Admiral::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: It’s just a question... you don't have to try if you don't want to.
MO Doyle says:
 FCO:  You are betazoid sir... maybe you could reach them?  I believe you are friends of them both?  I understand that Lieutenant Rose admired you.
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
OPS: Commander, you going anywhere special
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS:  You want to race before we get caught?  If you are my brother’s friend, he won't mind.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles:: CIV: I would love to race you. But what does the winner get?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: Just on a little ride ... say want to join me? I have a personal shuttle I have worked hard to improve. It should have arrived by now
Admiral Harlan says:
@ :: Nods to her aide to let her know when Captain Monroe arrives, then goes back to some files.::
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS: The joy of the moment.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Walks to the Admiral's Door and Chimes it::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Enters the TL and orders it to the deck his quarters are on::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
MO:  Let's just say we both have mutual admiration for each other.  But if you think I might be able to get through to them, I will certainly try.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: It was a legacy from my grandfather; from the time they put an effort into making ships look good. If you don't have any plans in mind I could use the company in making sure she is up to speed
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Considers the comment:: CIV: I can live with that. SO the name Gary doesn't bring anything to mind?

ACTION:  The admiral's aide opens the door and directs Captain Monroe to the admiral, after giving her a quick warning.

CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
OPS: Well it sounds fun, sure why not
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Walks in, his bag on his shoulder:: Harlan: Admiral.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Turns back to the console:: CSO: According to this she is in docking bay 1. Follow me ::moves along::
MO Doyle says:
 FCO:  I do not believe you can do either of them any harm, especially Lieutenant Rose.  I am not even sure why they tried to save her body.  Her mind is gone.  But you could your friend.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: We never had the chance to talk properly. I was a CSO for many many years
Admiral Harlan says:
@:: Stands and nods to Monroe.::  CO:  Captain, it is good to see you healthy and back.  Please, take a seat.  :: Waves her hand to the a variety of chairs.::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Follows:: OPS: Really, what made you change?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
MO:  Look, I'm not going to give up on Brianna as easily as you have it seems.  If there is even the slightest chance of her coming out of it, I think we should keep hope alive.
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Frowns as a memory wants to jump out.::  CNS:  I... maybe.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Turns a corner and continues moving:: CSO: I didn't really change, I will never stop being a scientist. I just thought my skills could be used in other ways. What made you go into science?
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Grabs a chair and sits down:: Harlan: Yeah me too. I am glad that you are back as well.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Raises an eyebrow:: CIV: Maybe? Are you trying to keep it in? I know its uncomfortable and probably scary... but trying would really be a good thing.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Enters the shuttlebay and approached a small shuttle. Its obviously an old one, very aerodynamic, obviously built for atmosphere flight::
MO Doyle says:
:: Smiles.::  FCO:  We have not given up home... totally.  I wish you well sir.  :: Heads out of the room to give the Betazoid some peace.::
Admiral Harlan says:
@CO:  Yes... well...  I don't want to keep you too long.  Your rest is well deserved.  I just need to verify a few things.
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS:  Why?  I am happy with things as they are now.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Closes his eyes and concentrates::  ~~~CNS:  Varesh, is there any chance you can hear me?~~~
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
OPS:  Well I originally planned on being an engineer but I didn’t really fit in with that, wasn’t really for me so I changed to science
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Enters his quarters and looks around briefly, immediately spotting a picture of Brianna on the small table next to his couch::

ACTION:  The counselor hears a familiar voice and the scene before him wavers.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Feels someone calling him:: CIV: Are you? You might think you are, but if you don't look at what could be, you won't know.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: Science is more than a job you know .. its how you see the Universe. Well, let me present you the Space Caravel. Stupid name I know, but I didn’t name it ::enters a code in a small panel and a door opens. She gets inside::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Her very stubborn nature comes to the front.::  CNS:  And if I don't want to?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Inside there is a small cockpit and passenger/cargo area. She invites the CSO in and sits at the helm::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Lets the shoulder strap fall to the floor as he sits back:: Harlan: Ask away.

ACTION:  Aboard the small shuttle, lights come on.  The outside may seem old, but the inside is neat and up to date.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Shrugs:: CIV: Then there is nothing I can do to make you. Its your choice, little one. :: Thinks it feels a lot like Aaron::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Please Varesh, try concentrating on my voice.~~~
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Computer: Vasco, initialize undocking procedures
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Sees the shuttle and is impressed, he follows OPS inside:: How old is it? It looks to be in great shape.
Computer says:
OPS: Well a good day to you too. Initializing
Admiral Harlan says:
@CO:  I understand from your first officer’s report, that your visit to that other universe, yours and the other federation ships, may have damaged the veil between the two of us?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Aaron's voice comes to him as a glowing golden rope, lightly twining around him, wanting to pull him back::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: about 100 years and yes its equipped with a computer with a personality. :: Whispers:: Too strong one if you ask me
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Sighs as she knows she is being rude and that was one thing her mother would not tolerate.::  CNS:  Would you like to come inside for some refreshments?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles:: CIV: I would love that, thank you.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CSO: Can you use that console? its not that different from a Starfleet standard. I could use a navigator
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  V, you know how stubborn I am, so you know I'm not going to stop until I hear something from you....now answer me!~~~
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
OPS: I noticed, i heard a while back that they were intending to implement that in the fleet but there were a few glitches in the system and so it was scrapped
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS:  I need to put my brother’s flier back.  I will meet you at the house.  :: Nods to the large two story home not far from them.::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Looks at the console:: OPS: Haven’t met a console I couldn’t use before
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Harlan: It might have.  I am not too certain of it.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Feels the tugging, and an insistent voice calling him:: CIV: Thanks, I'll wait on the porch. ~~~FCO: Aaron?~~~
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: smiles:: CSO: Great. Can you ask permission to depart then?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Walks over and picks up the picture, looking at it for a long time, still standing::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Moves her fingers glad to be back at a helm::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Varesh!  Yes, it's me, Aaron.  I want you and Brianna to come out of this understand?~~~
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
:: Requests departure clearance from the Starbase::
Admiral Harlan says:
@:: Sigh::  CO:  It would fit with other reports and the one that originally sent you to Tribble Prime.  I hate to keep you looking for them after this last incident, but I need you.  Not to mention, it was thanks to your interference that a much greater threat has been avoided... at least for now.  These insurgent groups appear to be popping up all over the place.  The USS Tal-war is looking into one now.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Walks over to the porch and sits on the railing, a distant look in his eyes:: ~~~FCO: I'm trying to convince her... Aaron. She’s reverted to childhood and I can't think of something to make her snap out of it... what would other than Gary?~~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Settles the flier into its resting place and makes sure all is secure before running to the house, the wind in her hair, making her feel so free and happy.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: As permission is granted she gently lifts the shuttle, soon they are in open space. The Earth beneath and a full moon above::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: I am home ::smiles:: CSO: Where were you born?
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Harlan: It would seem to be that way.  The one thing we can do is find out how they are slipping in and eliminate that doorway.
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Trill, but i moved around a lot after i was ten or so

SCENERY:  Luna glows brightly in the sky as if guiding Gomes home.

Admiral Harlan says:
@CO:  According to this report, we need to be closing those 'doors' permanently.  I gather this Zhen is trying to help.  Will he and his people continue to do so?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: I know how that is. I was born on Earth but spent most of my childhood in a station orbiting Venus. My parents helped with the terraforming process for a few years. In truth I am child of the 24th century, used to a clean, sterile, controlled environment
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Have you taken a different approach by ordering her as her superior officer?  Perhaps if you told her that Cmdr. Jackson was in trouble and needed her help?~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Hopes up onto the stairs, slightly out of breath.::  CNS:  Hello again.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Harlan: I hope so.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: What did your parents do for a living if you don't mind my asking?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles as Bri bounds up the stairs:: CIV: Hello again. :: Answers Aaron:: ~~~FCO: I could try, but a nine-year-old might respond differently... Angel, I don't know if I can get her out of here...~~~~ :: Lets Aaron feel his uncertainty::
Admiral Harlan says:
@CO:  As you know, you have a week to rest and your ship back into order, as well as new crew members.  I have a few surprises for you I hope your engineer will enjoy.  Rest and forget about all of this.  Before you leave on your next assignment, I would like to meet with your crew as a whole.
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: well my father was in Starfleet for a while but he didnt like being away from my mother for very long periods, and my mother owned a small shop in my hometown, after my father left Starfleet we sold up and he took us to see all the things he had seen while in Starfleet
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods:: CSO: You must have seen a lot then. What do you know of Earth?
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Opens the door and calls out to her mother.::  Mom... I brought one of my brothers friends in for refreshments.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Harlan: I appreciate it.  I will make the arrangements.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Now is not the time for your hesitation Varesh.  Do I need to kick your Betazoid rear end?~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Leads him into the kitchen as she gets no reply.::  CNS:  That is odd, mom must have gone down to the village for some shopping.
Admiral Harlan says:
@CO:  Then off with you for now.  I'll not take up any more of your time.  :: Smiles.::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Not much, the only time I’ve spent here was when i was in the academy.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Harlan: Aye Admiral I'll see you in a week.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Finally takes a seat on the couch and picks up a padd to read Rose's favorite novel::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Drags a step stool to the cabinets and begins to pull out various items for refreshments.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: Then I will give you a tour ..starting with the land of my ancestors ... hold on  ::enters the atmosphere heading for southwestern Europe:: The inertial dampeners aren’t perfection the Caravel.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: What is your specialty? In science I mean
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Sends Aaron a burst of amusement at his comment:: CIV: Lt. Rose. Your presence is required on the bridge. Commander Jackson needs assistance. :: Barks the words in his best SF Officer tone of voice, hoping it will work::
Admiral Harlan says:
@:: Watches the man exit her room, her smile slipping into one of concern and worry.::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Jumps, falling backward off the step and onto her bottom.  Tears of pain and indignation look up at the counselor.::  CNS:  That was not very nice.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Gets up and heads out the door::
Admiral Harlan says:
@:: As the door closes, she looks over at the large Klingon never far from her side.  Quietly:: See what you can do for now...
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: I noticed by the bumpy ride, Well mostly astronomy, astrophysics not a big fan of the biology side, if you can even call that a science
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Kneels next to her:: CIV: I'm sorry, I was trying to get my friend back... I shouldn't have done that. :: Doesn't show his disappointment:: ~~~FCO: Aaron, its not working. I thought I knew how to handle situations like this, but I don't.~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Gets up, embarrassed.::  CNS:  Why does Commander Jackson want me?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Eyes widen at the CSO::CSO: What would you deem biology then? A guessing game?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Of course you can handle situations like this.  You've been trained your whole life in this.  Now put your talents to use and bring her out of it.  Earth is waiting for you!~~~
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Its about as much of a science as say Voodoo.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: I see then, and then tell me how could astrophysics predict the appearance of humanoid life?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Looks down at the floor:: CIV: Don't worry about me and my whims... I was hoping for it to work, but all I did was scare you. :: Turns on his knees, gets up and walks over to the window:: Cmdr. Jackson is someone I know who cares a lot for you, but its someone you don't know at the moment...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Can't get himself to concentrate on the book itself and looks around for something else to do, though doesn't feel like doing anything other than sitting and doing nothing::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Feels encouraged by Aaron's words and sends another wordless burst of affection for his belief him what he can do::

ACTION:  The shuttle breaks through Earth's upper atmosphere and glides downward.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Gets up from the couch, the padd with the novel still in his hand, and walks to the exit. If he'd go sit around somewhere, he might as well do that in sickbay..::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Runs out of Command, heads out to the sun::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@:: Would like to try and get out of this conversation:: OPS: Umm... Your consoles flashing
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Plots a course to Lisbon, she wants to do something again:: CSO: Its quite alright. Don't be afraid...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Enters the TL and orders it to sickbay::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Approaches the city, a big river is visible, so is a bridge much like Golden gate (it was built by the same constructor in the 20th century). 3 others are further along the river. Alexandra moves down, as if going to crash into the river::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@:: Watches the view::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Pulls up just in time to pass under all 4 bridges, the river passes by down, splashing the hull::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Smiles wildly:: CSO: That was fun! Wasn't it? :: Looks at him as she pulls the shuttle back up::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Do you think if I brought Cmdr. Jackson here, it might help?~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Finishes making the tray and brings it to the table.::  CNS:  Commander Jackson cares for me?
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Walks up to the nearest restaurant, and call his brother to bring his daughter there::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Sure was
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: It could... hasn't he been here - uhm, how long have I been out of contact?~~~
Bartender says:
@:: Pours a drink and hands it to Monroe.::  CO:  You look like a man that could use a drink.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Exits the TL and moves to sickbay, entering moments later and walking over to Rose's bed automatically, having visited every day the past week::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: Yes, he does, and I know he'll be very unhappy to lose you: The older you. The one I know. The one I got to know and care for as my little sister.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Takes the drink:: Bartender: Oh yeah.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: Unfortunately if I can't do that again or I will have my shuttle license taken.  I'll move us to Spain then France; I want to fly other Great Britain as well.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Of course he's been here....everyday in fact.~~~
CO Capt Monroe says:
@::Takes a sip:: Bartender: It has been a long month
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Pours him and herself some tea.::  CNS:  I do not understand ye.  That makes no sense.
 Bartender says:
@:: Picks up a cup to dry, a familiar Earth scene over the ages.::  CO:  Can I get you anything else?
CO Capt Monroe says:
Bartender: Nothing yet, I want to wait till my daughter comes.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Crosses some pretty dry land, with a few big cities::
Bartender says:
@:: Nods.::  CO:  Well, you might as well make yourself comfortable.  How old is your daughter?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Takes a seat next to Rose's bed, only the noticing Knight, and nods at him::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: Perhaps some day we can go to Trill, I was only there once
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: Its because the you I know is 23, have been to Starfleet Academy and serves on the Nighthawk with a lot of other friends. I've tried reasoning, I've tried shock tactics... all I can appeal to now is who you know you are. :: Looks down and sips his tea:: ~~~FCO: Every day? You mean its been days?~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
CNS:  23?  That is old!
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: We could do that next shore leave, assuming we get a next one
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Bartender: She is only 2, but she has grown, she really looks like she is 6.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: Sure we will ... right after our next life threatening epidemic :: Tries to make a joke out of it:: That was one weird series of events
Host Bartender says:
@CO:  Interesting... fast grower huh?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Puts the padd down on the little cabinet next to Brianna's bed and looks up, only then noticing Knight has his eyes closed, and whispered, as not to startle him too much:: FCO: How are they doing..?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Yes Varesh, it's been a week now.  That's why it's time you joined the active people again here on the NH.~~~
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Bartender: Yeah, that was the last time I saw her.  I am not sure if she has grown anymore
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Yes it was but for some reason that ship attracts them like a lightning rod
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles at the child before him:: CIV: Yes, it seems like a lifetime... but its one where there are people who would miss the beautiful, intelligent, funny young woman they have come to know... I tried to make you think of Gary, but that's been a bust... To be honest, I don't know anymore.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Takes Brianna's hand as she is laying there, not sure what else he can do::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: I've not been around for enough time to get a proper sample. Biologists rely on that, you know, statistics ::smiles:: CSO: And this is France ::moves up to cross the channel::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Looks slightly sad.:: CNS:  Mom says I can be rather hard headed.  Where is this Gary?  Why would does he want me?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Hears the XO's voice and breaks his concentration, opening his eyes::  XO:  I'm sorry Cmdr., I didn't realize you had come in.  It seems as though Brianna is in a child-like state.  Varesh is trying to bring her out of it.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Reaches out and gently cups the child's chin with his hand:: ~~~CIV: Bri, I know you are there, you are hiding from the ravages made on your life recently, buts its not the way... PLEASE come with me?~~~ ::wordless startlement at Aaron's words::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Bartender: I think she has a weird gene that makes her grow faster.
Bartender says:
@CO:  In today’s age, nothing surprises me anymore.  :: Smiles and replaces Monroe’s empty glass with a full one.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Nods slowly, not entirely sure what it means, but feeling it would be better to let Knight concentrate on Rose and Varesh right now::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: Gary is on the Nighthawk, and he loves you, dearling. He's been visiting sickbay, everyday for a week now.
FCO LtJG Knight says:
XO:  Cmdr., I have an idea....if you're willing to go along with it.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
FCO: If it will help, sure..
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Bartender: I think she got that from her mother... ::Then thinks "What mother?"::

ACTION:  The vision of the child before the counselor wavers.

CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Quietly::  CNS:  But it hurts too much...
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  V, I'm going to need your help.  Cmdr. Jackson is here.  I want you and me to concentrate on perhaps bringing the Cmdr into Brianna's thoughts.  He might just be the one who can bring her out of this.~~~
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@CSO: And this is green Great Britain. It’s always raining here. I think I will land us soon; maybe we can go for a drink?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: Brianna? :: Reaches out to Aaron to implement his plan:: Dearling, it is bound to hurt, no matter what. It is part of growing up.
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Sounds good
FCO LtJG Knight says:
XO:  Okay Cmdr., here's what I'd like to try.  I want you to close your eyes and concentrate.....concentrate on Brianna.  Both myself and Varesh will attempt to bring you into Brianna's thoughts.  You might be the one who can bring her out of this.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Brings the shuttle down in Edinburgh::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Nods and does as he asks, closing his eye and thinking of her, something he had been doing for the last week anyway, and concentrates on the time they spent at the Rose residence months ago::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Looks into Varesh's eyes, the child and laughter fading away.::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Closes his eyes and concentrates, bringing Cmdr. Jackson into his thoughts::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Takes a sip and looks out the door::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Smiles sadly, pulling Gary into his mind along with Aaron, standing back::
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Okay V, I have the Cmdr. here in my thoughts.  I'm going to need you to bring him in the rest of the way.  Bring him to Brianna.~~~

ACTION:  Monroe's brother enters the restaurant with a young child clinging to his hand.  In many ways, she is humanoid, but the traces of her other ancestry is evident.

CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Senses another mind reaching for her and stills.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Hops off his chair, opening his arms::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Exits:: CSO: Shall we? I don’t know the city that well, but I knew someone from here
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
CIV: Brianna... just feel; listen with your heart...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Still concentrating hard, wondering what it will be like, if it works::
CSO LtJG G’Dar says:
@OPS: Lead the way
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Feels the presence of another and turns to look at Jackson::  XO:  Gary?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
:: Feels the connection of Gary and Brianna::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Suddenly sees the scene and looks at Rose:: CIV: Brianna, yes.. It's me...
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Embraces his daughter::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods and moves to the nearest pub::
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Looks confused.::  XO:  What is going on?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
CIV: I… I don't know exactly... Just… Just come.... Come back with me, and we can try and find out...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Stands with Aaron, his mind feeling a bit crowded, just wanting to wake up now... he's feeling so tired::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Smiles at Brianna, holding out a hand as to pull her along:: CIV: Please... For m.. For us?
FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Now's not the time to start getting tired V.  Give this all you've got!  I promise, I'll take you somewhere on earth for you to get some rest.~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Reaches out her hand to him, trustingly.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Takes her hand and takes a firm grip, feeling slightly relieved::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Promise?~~~ ::shows Brianna the way to her body, knowing that is the last obstacle... guiding her::

ACTION: As Gary's hand tightens around Brianna's, a connection is made.  The past returns with all its pain, but he holds on and CIV finds herself being pulled away from the comfort of the world she had created.

FCO LtJG Knight says:
~~~CNS:  Have I ever broken a promise to you before?  Now let's get these two back to where the belong!~~~
CIV Lt Rose says:
:: Finding herself on a path once more, heaviness surrounds her and her eyes open wide with a gasp.::  XO:  Gary?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Opens his eyes, looking up at Aaron, tears running down his cheeks:: FCO: They are back where they have to be... ~~~Hold me, I need to know I'm real, please?~~~
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Sits with his daughter and starts telling her what has happened in the past month::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Looks down at Brianna as her eyes finally open again:: CIV: Brianna.. Yes, it's still me... We're safe now...
