Host Cootles says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Cootles says:
The Crew continued to investigate the mysterious communication addressed to the Ambassador. Although no “official” record was discovered, there was clear evidence a case is and will be mounted. Entries to the personnel files recorded access that has yet to occur in this timeline.

Host Cootles says:
High levels of chronoton particles have sprouted up throughout the ship, hinting at numerous temporal disturbances. Three unclassified humanoids have attempted to penetrate and override the main computer, but were chased off before any serious damage occurred.

Host Cootles says:
Shifts through several temporal fields have inflected bouts of nausea upon the crew and numerous crewmembers have experienced additional trips through their own personal timelines.

Host Cootles says:
< < < < Begin Mission: Running Man, Part 3  > > > > 

ACTION: A loud bang shatters the silence, rousing the crew from the time-inflicted stupor clouding their vision. They find themselves seated behind a rail, watching the proceedings in front of them.

Host Cootles says:
<Magistrate> CEO: Cmdr. Damien, you are hereby sentenced to serve a term of no less than 50 years at yet to be chosen detention facility. Guards! Take Mr. Damien into custody.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
All: What?!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the CEO::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The scene shifts once again and the crew finds themselves back on the Pendragon, 11 minutes have elapsed since the three intruders vanished from sensors.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::gasps for breath::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::at his station again::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Holy cr…..

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Stands up (both from the seat behind the rail and, simultaneously, from his seat on the bridge).:: All: Not again... Crew, report.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I have no idea what that was about

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks to the XO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::seated at OPS ... checks sensors::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Several reports coming in from Medical of additional crew feeling nauseous from the time shifts.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We seem okay, but we're obviously in a state of temporal flux

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Do you still have the schematics for the warp ten drive?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::scans for chronoton particles::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::hesitant:: CIV: Why do you ask?

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CEO: Isn't there any way you can shield us from the flux? ::Glances at CIV.:: Could those schematics give us some clue to stopping these effects?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Not that I know of

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO/CEO:  Someone said the schematics were adapted to a Starfleet vessel.  If so, there must be a way to contain it.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  According to the ships chronometers, 11 minutes have passed since our intruders vanished from sensors.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
XO/CEO: I want you two to work on that. Find a way to disconnect us from whatever is controlling us.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CEO's readout indicates that there is build-up beginning in Main Engineering.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods at Thraxis.::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
All: Prepare yourselves, there's a chronoton build up in engineering

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: I am disseminating antinausea gas throughout the ship's environmental systems, Sir.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks over at Jordan::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Time shifts once again and internal chronographs indicate the Pendragon has jumped forward in time by 27 minutes. Only a handful of reports coming in from Medical.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV/XO: I'm going to engineering. I think I know how to stop this

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::prepares for whatever is to coming::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I'm coming with you.  ::gets to his feet::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters the turbo lift::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks chronometers again:: XO:  This time we moved 27 minutes forward ...

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CEO/XO: Right, try to contain it. Then figure out how to disconnect us! 

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::follows the CEO into the lift::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
TL Engineering

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Working on it, Sir.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
Thraxis: Can you tell why the jumps are getting longer?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  What are you thinking, Jose?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Nope ...

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Which is?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Destroy the PADD.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Computer: Are the jumps happening as a result of the area of space in which we are?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::leaves the lift::  CEO:  Destroy it?  How would doing that stop what is happening to us now?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: If it never existed, not of this would have happened

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> CSO: The area of space surrounding the Pendragon shows no anomalies.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Looks unhappily at Thraxis, then with a sigh of gratitude toward Tribble.::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I....  ::stops and thinks about it::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Do you have a better idea?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  What if the anomalies are internal ... actually on the Pendragon itself.  It could be that our own power systems could be feeding these things.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Computer: Correlate similar past experiences and describe possible course of action.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I thought... of going forward.  Of shielding the ship and going forward to stop it there.   ::voice trails off.  Lost in thought::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: And how would we stop it?

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> CSO: Unable to comply. No such past experiences have been recorded.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Walks behind Tribble.:: *CEO*: Any progress yet? ::Impatient::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I don't know.  I think you may be right.  I have faith in you, Jose.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Computer:  Computer, correlate locations of previous temporal events.  Have they been within the Pendragon itself?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: We're almost to engineering

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Yes.   In a way.   The epicenter of the build-up comes from Main Engineering each time the anamoly occurs.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::exits the lift::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Nods.:: aCSO/Thraxis: We'll have to wait to see what Jose and Mikal come up with...

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Whatever is causing this, its root is in Main Engineering, Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  What if we shut down main power?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters engineering::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
aCSO: For now, I want you to try to detect any signals coming from outside the ship that may be controlling all of this. I don't think this is just happening by itself, even if it is from the inside.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::follows the CEO::

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: Correct. Cmdr. Damien has initiated all the temporal events from Main Engineering.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::Moves to his desk, grabs a phaser and looks for where he hid the PADD::

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: It's worth a try.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::stands back and to the side of the CEO.  Watches::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
aCSO: Wait until we hear from Jose.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks incredulous:: Computer:  Computer, explain.  How does Cmdr Damien initiate these events.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::goes to sensors to try to detect signals::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Frown.:: Self: Damien?...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO: Commander ... you'd better hear this ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes the PADD, and without hesitation, drops it on the floor and phasers it out of existence::

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: With his command code. All protocols are authentic.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Nice shot.  ::braces himself for what he doesn't know::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The PADD glows brightly for a moment, then vanishes from sight. There is nothing but a small discoloration on the floor.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Do we need to lock out his command codes?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::blows on the muzzle of his phaser:: CIV: Thanks

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  What are you going to tell Lt. Hei-Ran?

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Approaches Thraxis, shaking his head.:: Thraxis: No, let's wait. We have to have something concrete to go on, first.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Sir, sensors show nothing odd operating against this ship.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  But we should get Mikal to watch him carefully ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I'm hoping I don't have to tell him anything. The timeline should reassert itself now.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::grins and waits::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Says nothing to those on the bridge.:: *CEO*: Jose, report.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Another build-up of chronoton particles is detected in Engineering. Damien's command codes triggered the event.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  We have another build up in Engineering!  ::checks carefully:: XO:  And Cmdr Damien's codes have triggered it!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Damien here. Has anything changed on your end?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::senses some unease.  Grin falters::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Frowns.:: *CEO*: What is going on down there? We're reading that you are causing the chronoton buildups. Your command codes are being entered to trigger them!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV/CEO*:  Get out of there!  We're reading another build up of chronotons.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I assure you, they are not

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks towards the CEO::  CEO: How could this be?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I have no idea

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*CEO*: Maybe not -yet-!

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::runs internal check on computer systems::  XO:  I have found something, Sir.  Cmdr Damien made a modification to the warp drive to install the Warp 10 technology.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: I'm aware of temporal causality effects

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::stares hard at the XO:: You authorized it seven days ago.  Sir.  ::stares icily::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO:  YOU did this?

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Shakes his head.:: CSO/Thraxis: I did not! I would have done no such thing. We didn't even have the specs for the Warp 10 drive ten days ago!

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Something from the future.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Destroying the PADD should have prevented it

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Apparently, you did.  According to all evidence.  Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Think about it ... we've been going back and forward for how long now?

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Frowns:: CSO: All evidence? According to all evidence, Lt. Damien is in Main Engineering right now causing chronoton buildups, but he isn't! None of this makes any sense.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  If Cmdr Damien's codes are triggering this ... wouldn't locking them out stop it?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Not necessarily.  Somebody in the future could have discovered it independently.  But why send it back to us.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I knew I should have acted sooner

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: I do not know.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  You did the right thing, Jose.  I know you did.  And I have faith that you will do the right thing in the future.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  What have we got to lose?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Pendragon is hit with another time shift. They have managed to go back in time three days.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I don't get it. I wouldn't have installed that thing in ANY timeline

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::looks at Jordan::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Not unless you were ordered to.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: Why would the XO order him to do so?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I don't even think I would have done it then

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: CSO:  He wouldn't ... unless ....

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I see your point.  But regardless you will fix it in the future.  You are fixing it right now.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Seething.:: Thraxis: Unless what? I'm telling you, I have no intention of installing that device on this ship, now or ever!!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  You didn't ... but maybe another version of you did ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Lets hope so

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: A clone?  Like the clones we encountered on the planet?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  Or a future HeiRan ...

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  I wonder what's happening?  ::checks a chronometer::

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: To what end, though?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: When are we?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Going backwards.  By a few days so far.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  That's the part I haven't figured out yet ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: The PADD...::looks for it again::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  But it is possible, right?

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
SCO/Thraxis: Yes, to what end... Though, let's think about this a second. If, in the future, I saw it as necessary to order the installation of the Warp 10 drive, what could possibly prompt that?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Necessity, perhaps ... maybe a threat that we haven't encountered at this point in our timeline.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: You wanted to move forward into the future to ......

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
Thraxis: Yes, but what could that be? Catullans? The intruders? Do we have any more information on those intruders? Perhaps we will try to avoid them again by jumping through time?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::finds the PADD and destroys it again::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  It's possible ...

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::watches the chronometer::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The PADD is destroyed once again, but there is no change to chronometers.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
CIV: No change.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Maybe that did it.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO/CSO:  We need to know exactly what those intruders managed to do to our systems before we stopped them ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: If we keep going back, it will eventually have to

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CSO: Lieutenant, compile the information from the intrusion, everything we've got!

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: We need to do a complete diagnostic of ship's systems.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  If we keep going back destroy it the first time you laid eyes on it.  ::frowns::

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::begins making it so::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  I'm also going to find out from the computer exactly when the drive was installed ...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Internal sensors are detecting three intruders in Main Engineering and the CEO's command codes have initiated another particle build-up.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I'm picking up three intruders in Engineering ... and another particle buildup has been initiated ... again with Cmdr Damien's codes!

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
*CTO* Security to Main Engineering.  Intruders!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::begins the diagnostic ... knowing this could take a while::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
*CIV*: Mikal, you've got intruders!

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  What in the hell are those?  ::points::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::fires at one of the shimmering figures::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I'm not sure, but I'm trying to stun them

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Computer:  Computer:  When did the installation of the Warp 10 drive take place?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
*XO*:  We see them.  They don't appear to be human.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Three oily-looking shadows move around and through the warp core. They pay little attention to anyone else in the area.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The phaser fire seemingly goes through the shadow with no effect.

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: The modification was made four days ago.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Did they just pass through the warp core?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: These intruders are not in the same time space continuum as us. We cannot stop them

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: It would appear so

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::tries to ~~~sense~~~ anything from the three figures::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Computer:  Who was involved in the installation?

Host Cootles says:
<Humanoid 1> ::looks directly up at the CIV::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Exhales.:: Thraxis/CSO: I'm going to Engineering. Keep compiling information on the intruders, tell Main Engineering anything you find over comm. ::Heads toward Main Engineering.::

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: Authorized by Lt. HeiRan, performed by Cmdr. Damien and Ambassador Luchena.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  And we just went back 3 days ....

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: All three of them.  Are they the three intruders?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks back at the shape, all his senses open::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CSO:  I believe so.  That would explain Cmdr Damien's codes being used ...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The CIV ~~~hears~~~ his own thoughts.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  It's us.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Are you sure?

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
*CEO*: The modifications were ordered by the XO and performed by you and Luchena.  It's possible you three are the three intruders.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*ACSO*: We've confirmed that is the case

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Computer:  Scan the intruders.  Check for temporal signatures and identify what time they came from.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::nods::  CEO:  I think so.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Appears in Main Engineering and approaches CEO/CIV.::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks at the XO as he enters::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The second humanoid appears to be attempting to pull something off of the warp core.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  Mikal, according to the computer the modifications were done 4 days ago.

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: Unable to determine. There is no accurate record to compare with.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
*Jordan*:  Then that might be where we have to go.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::watches the figure::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  Possibly ... but can the jumps be controlled?  So far they've been random in nature.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
CEO: Is this why I have you install the Warp 10 drive? To stop you from installing the Warp 10 drive?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
*Thraxis*:  It may not be an exact science.  Are we generally moving backwards though?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Sir, I'm as lost as you

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks for the PADD again, and finding it, destroys it yet again::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  The last jump had us go back 3 days ... It's random but it seems to be going both ways

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Chronometers indicate the Pendragon has slipped back two more days.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
*CEO*: You can hypothesize as to why you three did that?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*ACSO*: I wouldn't have installed that thing in any timeline

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  We've jumped again .. this time we've gone back 2 days further ...

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Notes the Chronometer.:: Damien, destroy the PADD again. Every time we jump it's after you destroy the PADD!

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
*Thraxis*:  Acknowledged.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: That’s my plan

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO/CEO:  And we're moving backwards to the day it was installed.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes the PADD and destroys it yet again::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO:  Have faith, Darna.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CIV's strange comment.::

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::prepares for the feeling of nausea of the time jump::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Three figures surrounding the warp core shift positions and can no longer been seen.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO/CEO:  We're gone.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO/CIV: I'll take that as a good sign

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The XO, CEO, and CIV now find themselves staring at one of the access panels to the warp core and dozens of "oily-shadows" can been seen in the room, apparently unaware of them, with the exception of the closest three, who appear to watching them intently.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::checks to make sure the Pendragon is in the same space::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks for the PADD::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO/CEO:  This is our chance.

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Sees the other "shadows.":: CEO/CIV: That's us, where we just were... now we're installing this thing. But why?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Chronometers indicate the Pendragon went back two more days. The day the install occurred.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes it and destroys it one more time::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As the CEO destroys the PADD, one of the humanoids staring at them appears to do the same.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
*Thraxis*:  Is the warp 10 device installed?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  Checking.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::watches the synchronistic event occurring::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Computer:  Computer, scan ships systems for a Warp 10 drive.  Has one been installed on the Pendragon?

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan: And, if so, can it be disabled?

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> Thraxis: Unable to comply. No such device is permitted or possible.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  It's gone, Mikal.  We have no Warp 10 drive installed on the ship!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks Engineering systems herself::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::smiles::

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: Main Engineering shifts in color and time as the two time lines meld and become one. The XO, CEO, and CIV are staring at the warp core and the CEO is holding the original PADD.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::still smiling::  CEO:  Go for it.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
:;drops the original PADD, grabs a phaser and destroys it::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the aCSO:: aCSO:  That was close ...

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Computer: Are there any anomalies on the ship?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Thank you Jose.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The PADD is destroyed once and for all. All chronometers return to normal.

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
Jordan; Indeed.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CIV: By all means

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::points at the chronometer::  It's normal.

Host Cootles says:
<CPU> CSO: All systems are normal. No anomalies detected.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
XO:  As I said. Just a matter of faith.  ::winks at the XO and leaves Main Engineering::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*: Whatever you guys did, it worked ... All systems read normal, no anomalies ... ::smiles::

aCSO_Lt_Tribble says:
::breathes a sigh of relief::

Host XO_Lt_HeiRan says:
::Slumps onto the floor against a wall, glad that that has ended (seemingly, at least).:: Self: But why did we decide to install the device at all......?

Host Cootles says:
