Host CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Captain's Log - SD 10409.04

The crew of the Pendragon has awoken on judgment day at the hands of their captors.  How the day will end and who will survive has yet to be determined.  With some luck, it will be relatively painful.

ACTION: The CEO has the Thraxis symbiont

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
OPS: Absolutely.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Q:  Just what are you proposing?  ::is very angry::

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
All: I think we've been given a second chance.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CNS: Somehow, I know that...    I don't remember where I was....   ::eyeballing the chair::

Host Q says:

CSO_Tribble says:
CEO: Why should we step behind our double?

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::walks up to someone at Tactical:: Self: What a dork... ::quickly realizes it was him:: Self: Oops!!

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: I wasn't here when this happened....   What right have I to start monkeying with the timeline?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
CSO: I think, when time starts up again, we need to be ready to step into their places.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::makes his way toward a junction::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CEO:  What are you talking about?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
OPS: Jordan, please trust me, as I trusted you. I... I just feel I know what to do.

CSO_Tribble says:
::looks at sensors just in case they tell her anything::

Host Q says:
XO: You took the responsibility the minute you put on the uniform.  Now fix it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  What's happening?~~~

Host Q says:
ACTION: The "frozen" crew begins moving about their duties, oblivious to the "transported" crew.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: looks to Q :: Q: Thank you... for everything.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over to CSO Tribble and to Mr. Newind::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::runs back to the CEO.. just to be in another flashback::

CSO_Tribble says:
::looks at sensors:: CO: We seem to be in orbit.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::struggles to open the junction door but finds it stuck::

Host Q says:
<CO>  OPS: Where are we?

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: sits down on the floor, abruptly ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Checking, Sir:  ::checks sensors:: CO:  We seem to be in orbit of a planet called Gothric...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to OPS and goes down with Thraxis::  OPS: The symbiont is gone again....   

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::checking tactical sensors::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir ... according to this ... Phail and Zax are on the planet ...

Host Q says:
XO: You want to tackle this one as well.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  They are leading the away team.  Sir, what's going on?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks over::  Self: Phail...   I was the chief engineer on the Pharaoh at this time....  

Host Q says:
OPS: Enough.

Host Q says:
ACTION: Rofax vanishes.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::watches as the CO vanishes::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks back to Q::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::turns:: Q:  Says who?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CNS:  We got trouble, Mikal.  Can you find your way back to the bridge? ~~~

TO_Ens_Liu says:
All: The Captain is gone, we must be ready for anything.

Host Q says:
OPS: Says I.  Your mighty XO wanted to stop the Captain.  Well your dear Captain Rofax is on the surface.  Leave him here and the wormhole will never be an issue.

FCO_Tribble says:
XO: Maintaining station keeping, .

CSO_Lt_Toms says:
::sitting in his quarters, feeling sick::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  I'm having trouble getting out of the JTs.  None of the junction doors seem to be activated.~~~

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
TO: As rude as this sounds.. Tell us something we don't know..

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
Q:  We cannot and will not do that!  ::getting angry::

Host Q says:
OPS: I said enough.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Leave Rofax?  I don't think so....   ::looks over to OPS::  

Host Q says:
ACTION: OPS disappears and find herself in the same JT as the CNS.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks over at the CNS:: CNS:  Hi.

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: starts rocking back and forth again ::

Host Q says:
XO: Now, shall we sit.  ::sits in the center chair::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I suppose we should be grateful he didn't drop us out in space.  ::keeps crawling toward the next door::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
All: This is simple.. ::watches as the OPS disappears.:: Self: Ok.. maybe a little complex.. ::walks over to the OPS console and tries to beam the CO aboard::

FCO_Tribble says:
::checks controls, in case the ship wants to go anywhere under its own power::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge, seeing Q:: Q: Hi are you a new crewmember, you need a crew physical.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::notes the CTO::  CTO: Lock on and beam them to Transporter Room 3...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: I have a lock..

Host Q says:
ACTION: The bleeding stops.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
CTO: Energize

Host Q says:
XO: Fine.  What do you want?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Nothing more arrogant than an omnipotent being.  ::comes to the next junction door::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::presses a couple more buttons:: XO: Energizing..

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::sits down:: That's it, I want a transfer...

FCO_Tribble says:
CMO: Are you all right?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Give us a chance to redo the First Contact with the Jolians....  

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
FCO: Oh sure...accept for Mr. Magoo making my eyes bleed...

Host Q says:
ACTION: The transporter beam runs its cycle, but the TR Chief reports no one came aboard.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Eh?   XO: Sir.. no one came aboard..

FCO_Tribble says:
CMO: ::whispers:: Better watch it.  Don't offend him.

Host Q says:
XO: That would be fine, but that's too simple a solution.  You want this chair, you will need to take it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  Hang on ... *XO*:  Pettigrove to Cmdr Irvin.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::sighs:: FCO: You're right...what was I thinking...I guess it is a Q.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks to the CTO in a little bit of fright::  

FCO_Tribble says:
CMO: If you're all right, I'll just return this med kit ::returns kit and then returns to FCO station::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::walks over to the chair and looks at it intently::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::notices the XO's expression:: XO: Yeah..

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::nods, just remains sitting::

Host Q says:
::stands::  XO: Please take it.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Hang on.  This one is working.  ::opens the door to the junction room and crawls through::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
XO: Don't do it Commander....

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Take the route you feel is best... ::trying to help the XO::

Host Q says:
::raises his hand and the CTO is moved backwards away from the console::

Host Q says:
XO: Give the order.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::takes a deep breath, thinking of Thraxis, Rofax, and the others::  Self: You guys had better be ok....  

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::feels himself being moved back::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::sits down::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::watches::

Host Q says:

Q: You are really a sick...whatever you are...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::crawls through behind the CNS::  *XO*:  Pettigrove to Bridge! Please respond!

Host Q says:
XO: Give the order.  Destroy the planet and the problems you have come to inherit.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::taps badge:: *OPS* Now's not a great time....

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
XO: You do it Commander and you will NEVER forgive yourself...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  We'd better hurry.  ::opens the hatch to the corridor and jumps down::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Absolutely not...  I will not willingly kill someone to save my own backside...  

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: He's only half-right... Give the order. Tell Q to stand down.

Host Q says:
ACTION: The CMO suddenly feels sick to his stomach.

FCO_Tribble says:
CTO: Carefully, though.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::jumps down beside the CNS:: CNS: Now where?

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::feels sick:: Oh great. ::moves to puke on Q::

Host Q says:
XO: Is that not what you intended to do with the Zircon?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads off at a run down the corridor towards a TL::  OPS:  Come on.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: NO!  Absolutely not!  

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
::nods at Tribble::

Host Q says:
ACTION: The CTO is transported to the brig.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::stands up in a fit of rage::  Q: You don't even know me a TENTH as well as you think....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes they are way down on Deck 15 while running::

FCO_Tribble says:
::keeps her eyes firmly fixed on the control panel, hoping to be unnoticeable::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::doubles over::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Ack!! ::looks to one of the TOs..:: Hey you! Get me out of here!

Host Q says:
XO: Ah yes.... there it is.... that temper that I must let out more often.  ::laughs lightly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Here.  ::comes to stop in front of a turbo lift::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around then back at Q::

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::falls to the ground:: I just knew those beans were gonna do this...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
TO in Brig: I told you to let me out of here..

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CNS:  What are you planning?

FCO_Tribble says:
::wonders if she should just engage the ship at warp 9 and get the heck out of here.  But, ..... would Q still be on the ship?;:

Host Q says:
XO: Very well.... let's move on.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
Q: Ok I'm sorry...you are the most wonderful Q in the galaxy...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I'm going to put my hands around his neck and throttle him.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into the TL::  TL:  Bridge

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
~~~ CNS:  Calm down ... I feel angry too but we need to help the crew ~~~

Host Q says:
ACTION: Another flash blinds the crew and the crew find itself back at SF Academy.  It is the XO's first day.

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Self: Ugh... these flashes are getting old..

FCO_Tribble says:
::looks around at the SF skyline and admires it::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops and looks around::

Host Q says:
XO: Now, stop it all before it begins.  You will be coming out of that building in ten minutes.  Stop it before it come to this.

FCO_Tribble says:
CMO: You OK?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::isn't watching and runs into the back of the CNS:: CNS:  Now this place looks familiar.

CMO_Ens_Carter says:
::looks around seeing the Academy:: FCO: Yeah I am now thanks...hey not the Academy...

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
::looks around and sees the campus, then looks at the Warp Sciences Building::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
XO: Things happen for a reason.. If you enjoyed your life don't do it..

TO_Ens_Liu says:
::Utterly confused.::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Everything happens for a reason....  Newind is right..... 

Host Q says:
XO: Then why do you question yourself?  Are you not the Captain's conscious?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Q:  Are you nuts?

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Because we also go on gut feeling and know deep down what is right and what is wrong...

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
Q: NO! He is his own conscience..

Host Q says:
CNS: Ah, yes.  But aren't we all?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
Q:  We have learned that for our actions there are consequences.  We have learned to live with that.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Q:  Stop playing with us.  If you want to help then send us back to where we asked.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns his back on the Q and starts walking towards the building::

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
All: Agreed....   Q: I think we can do that First Contact better....   

CEO_LtJG_Thraxis says:
:: barely aware of the change of scene ::

Host Q says:
CNS: Ah yes Cmdr Luchena.  Shall we explore things further and check in on your mother?

TO_Ens_Liu says:
All: I know I definitely can.

FCO_Tribble says:
All: Me, too.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Q:  She's dead.  ::keeps walking away::

Host Q says:
XO: Yes, but thinking is not what got you into this mess to begin with.  Perhaps you should start now.

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: It's like drilling holes in a brick wall with a marshmallow isn't it?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::experiences pure raw hatred::

CTO_Ens_Newind says:
ALL: I don't think we should.. EVERYTHING happens for a reason.. including our first contact..

XO_Cmdr_Irvin says:
Q: Talking to you that is....

Host Q says:
ACTION: Another insanely bright flash occurs and the crew finds themselves back in the mines or in their cells.

FCO_Tribble says:

CTO_Ens_Newind says:

@All: Just another day in the office. The academy never prepared me for this.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
