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

Host Cootles says:
Troubling news greeted the Crew upon their return to SB14. Another refugee from the timeline had escaped and this time, it resulted in the reappearance of a ship and a man both thought long dead. The Excelsior-class Pendragon was detected along the Alpha-Beta Quadrant border.

Host Cootles says:
Under the command of a treacherous man known as Gul Marat, the Pendragon's intentions and reappearance remain unknown. Its fate was left in the hands of several who have walked the halls of both the old and the new

ACTION: The Pendragon has been en route for several days and is nearing the coordinates of the last known contact with the Excelsior-class Pendragon.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sitting in his center chair deep in thought::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley sits at her desk in Sickbay, her eyes on the monitor in front of her. She was far less concerned with her duties than finding the Excelsior Class Pendragon. She really did not want to be there.. but home::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir approaching the coordinates now sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
<Lt_Simmons> CNS:  The Captain wants someone from counselling on the bridge.  I vote for you.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::In main engineering, prepping his staff and getting ready to leave for the bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::wanders onto the bridge, curious but apprehensive at the same time::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Simmons:  Isn't that a job for the senior counsellor, Sir?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the FCO he stands::   FCO: Anything on scans?  ::looking around for the Acting XO::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She enters Ashley's Office without ringing the chime. After all, after having been told not to enter for the tenth time, she assumed the same response would be given:: CMO: Commander, inventory has been categorized and rearranged. Is there anything else you wish?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
<Lt_Simmons>::waves his arm dismissively::  CNS:  The Captain is unlikely to loose his mind, Ensign.  Get up there.  I've got more important things to do.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::leaves main engineering for the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She does not look up from the monitor:: Servek: Don't you knock?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Simmons:  Certainly Sir.  ::stands and leaves the Counselling office::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She does not respond. Instead, she just inclines her head briefly::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes:: Servek: You are rather annoying. Sure...umm... go.. run a medical drill.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
<Lt_Simmons>::picks up a PADD and resumes playing Zork::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::speaks louder::  FCO: Lieutenant!  Anything on the sensors?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> CMO: As you wish, Commander. ::She starts to get an inkling that there is something wrong with the Doctor. First the last name change... and then the attitude::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: I heard you the first time sir.  I am scanning now sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir my scans come back all clear.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters the bridge:: CO: Acting Executive Officer reporting as ordered Sir

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::raises an eyebrow ... heads down to the command level::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Computer: Private mode! ::She watches as her office windows darken:: Self: That Vulcan is soooo annoying!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::mumbles::  Where is that Engineer.  By the Prophets he's likely in Engineering

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::straightens his uniform as he rides in the lift::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She continues to finger through information concerning Warp 10 theory::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::coughs::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the FCO placing a gentle hand on her right shoulder::  FCO: OK, I want Long Range scans searching for that ship.   You might try looking for the warp frequency found in "Dignity Restoration Beta"

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::emerges onto the bridge::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::pulls up the file marked Dignity Restoration Beta and proceeds to look for the frequency  indicated and feeds it into the LRS::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::notes they are a bit short-handed::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Scanning now sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Permission to man a station, Captain?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the CO:: CO:  Need any help?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::waves a hand motioning the voice from behind to approach::  CEO: We have some things to discuss

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head as she gets absolutely no where::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: What’s going on? ::curious::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS/Jordan:  Tactical and Operations will need some assistance

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Jordan:  I'll take Operations.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Ashley decides to make her mark in Sickbay since there is absolutely nothing for her to do at the moment:: Servek: Lieutenant Servek!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::heads toward the RR::  CEO: With me Commander.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CNS:  Tactical it is ... ::moves over to the Tac console::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::follows the captain::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Jordan: Get Yates up here to take Command

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::moves to the Operations station::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She turns toward the sound of her name:: CMO: May I assist you, Doctor?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir doing a search pattern for that frequency you indicated.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  *CMO*:  Bridge to Cmdr Yates.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Very good.  ::steps into the RR and sits behind his desk::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::logs on::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She inclines her head:: Servek: Yes. Do you notice that everything in the storage locker is not organized from tallest to shortest? ::She taps her Combadge:: *Thraxis*: Go ahead.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::watches as the CEO enters and the doors shut::  CEO: Please, take a seat

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CMO*:  Your presence is requested on the bridge, Commander.  Apparently you are to take command.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She raises an eyebrow:: CMO: That would be highly illogical, Doctor. ::She pauses::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes:: *Thraxis*: Understood. Yates out. ::She cuts the comm.:: Servek: I don't care if it is practical. Do it. That is an order. ::She leaves Sickbay for the Bridge::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes a seat:: CO: So...anything in particular you wanted to discuss?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::maintains her scans for the frequency indicated::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  CEO: Commander, I was going to originally keep this information from you but I feel my XO should be aware of all that I am.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::piqued:: CO: Go on.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::After a few minutes, Ashley steps onto the Bridge with a look of content on her face:: All: Report. ::She makes her way over to the command chair and takes a seat::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Tactical ready.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, Only myself, Commander Yates and Ensign Luchena have been briefed in the entirety of this mission so far.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: LRS are detecting three separate warp trails of the Excelsior-class Pendragon.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'll keep it under my hat

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CMO:  I think we found the warp trail....

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CMO:  No wait...  ::goes over the readings::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, the ship we are after seems to be a heavily modified, due to damage, Excelsior class Pendragon  ::watches him to gage his response::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She turns toward the CNS with eager eyes:: CNS: Have we now?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
*CO*: Sir Sorry for the interruption but I am picking up three distinct separate warp signatures of the Excelsior class.....um...Pendragon? Sir?  How can this be?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CMO:  No wait...  ::goes over the readings::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward the FCO:: FCO: Lieutenant, are you blind and deaf? Are you aware that the Captain is in a meeting and I am currently in command?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: That can't be...it's impossible. I saw her destroyed.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the FCO::  CEO: I guess the cat his now out of the bag and this meeting is now moot.  ::smiles weakly::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CMO:  Three separate warp trails, all from the same Excelsior class.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks:: CMO:  Confirmed.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::tries to figure out which is the most recent::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CNS/Thraxis: Are you able to determine which one is the most recent?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
:: Not realizing the CMO is there:: CMO: Oh shoot sorry ma'am.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks over the degradation patterns::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Checking ... ::runs over the scans carefully::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Gossip travels at trans-warp speed on this ship

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::stands sighing::  CEO: Perhaps Commander, I'd like to save her if possible.  However her commander may have darker uses for her.  Are you aware of a Gul Marat?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::shakes his head:: CO: No.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: See if you can help as well. Do it fast.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Well you will shortly.  Let’s get back to the bridge shall we.  ::motions for the door::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Self: Wish they would tell me things and not just sneak up on me.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CMO: Yes ma'am.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye ::exits for the bridge::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: All three warp trails appear to getting stronger instead of degrading.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::follows the CEO out::  FCO: Report Lieutenant

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CNS: Am I seeing things or are the trails getting stronger?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::raises an eyebrow::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::does a double-take and re-checks her scans::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::nearly jumps from her seat::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::As the two command officers exit, Ashley leaves the command chair and makes her way over to a vacant station::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Something very very weird is going on.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::double checks the readings::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CNS::  CNS: That's why they call it the Pendragon Counsellor

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO/CNS: Perhaps there is more than one vessel?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir I have three distinct warp signatures from that Excelsior class ship sir and the trails are getting stronger instead of dissipating.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The Excelsior class Pendragon appears to be moving in three different directions at once.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to scan for any sign of a temporal wave or Warp 10 residue::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the FCO:: CTO: Yellow Alert.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::takes his engineering station to confirm the flight control officer’s findings::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CMO: Your staff ready?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::initiates Yellow Alert:: CO:  Yellow Alert.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::plots escape vectors and battle scenarios::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Open hailing frequencies

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::sends a hail to each of the three coordinates::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: All communication between this ship and the Excelsior is to be done by you.  You, for all intents and purposes, are this ship's Captain.  Understood?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She is tempted to ask to return to Sickbay. After all, there is no reason for her to work on the Bridge at the moment. At least in Sickbay, she could relax and continue with her research::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::hears the captain but does not ask why only wonders::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::wonders what that cryptic remark is all about as he waits for confirmation::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks over to Jordan::  Jordan: What can you tell me about the three distinct signatures.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, there's something strange here...some kind of barrier around the "Pendragon"

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but grin a bit at the CO's orders to Jose. Gul Marat seemed to frighten him::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CEO::  CEO: A what?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::yells:: FCO: All stop!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::checks her scans carefully::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing the CEO:: FCO: Do it.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::without thinking brings the Intrepid class to a screeching halt throwing the engines in full reverse using the thrusters as well to stop the ship::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but make the "ugh" sound as the ship stops rather suddenly::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
All: Sorry but all stop sirs.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::pushes the hails through again to the updated coordinates::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: There is only static in response to the comm.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: It's a barrier, some kind of force field…. and it has a strangely familiar signature. Temporal in nature.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Oddly enough, yes.  They appear to be converging to a single point .. 100,000 km dead ahead ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I can't seem to open any channels, Captain.  I'll keep trying.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Self: I don't like temporal and I don't like this idea myself one bit.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::raises an eyebrow at the CEO and looks around at the faces of the bridge::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CEO: Can you determine what the barrier is protecting?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Is this barrier a shield of some sort or a doorway to the Excelsior class pre-destruction state?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::prepares to send a hail to the interception point::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CMO/CO: Impossible to say...its part of something we encountered a while ago. It's classified, but so is this mission. It bears the hallmark of the warp ten experiments

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Fill me in.  Reader's Digest version.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::goes a bit pale as the CEO speaks::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The comms appear to dissipate upon reaching the barrier between the Pendragon and the convergence.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Her face lights up:: Self: Very good.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO/CEO: Has any one thought about chronotrons?  I mean if this is temporal shouldn't there be a chroniton residue?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to access the information she was looking into back in Sickbay::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::checks to see if the signal was reflected at all::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looking over at the FCO::  CEO: Good point.  How about it?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
All: Warp 10 doesn't necessarily have to leave chronotrons, does it?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: We were involved with the Canullans, who claimed they had discovered a warp ten device. It wrecked havoc on the timeline, creating several anomalous timelines, which the Pendragon was involved with. We may very well be in one now, not a part of the 'true' timeline. It would explain much.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CMO: No, but temporal vortex usually do

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  The field is absorbing our communications signals.  Terminating now.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: Unless its origin is Warp 10...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::closes communications::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Intrepid class Pendragon or the Excelsior was involved with this device?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Scans continue to refine the barrier and a massive field is slowly defined. It extends several million kilometers in all directions, the nearest edge being 100,000 km dead ahead.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::Her eyes scan the information on her console::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  Woah ....

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::hearing Jordan::  Jordan::  Mrs. Thraxis?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Ultimately, it led to the warp ten project having never existed - to those who hadn't experienced it. It was this ship, the Intrepid class ship that was involved.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward Jordan::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::sitting still, looking worried::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Self: This is incredible.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Take a look, Sir.  ::brings the image up on the view screen::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods:: CEO: Thank you Commander.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward the Chief Engineer. That incident was how she got there... and she wanted to go back::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves over to Tactical::  CTO: Is the field expanding?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CEO:  Do you really think we might be in an alternate timeline?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::evasive:: CNS: It's a possibility ::looks him over::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Lieutenant... keep us at least 100,000 km from the edge of that field at all times

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shakes her head:: Self: I really hope not..

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As all manner of scans continue to outline the barrier, it remains invisible to the naked eye. The viewer displays a mass akin to a nebula.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Understood sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Negative.  Sensors show it extends several million kilometers in each direction.  Its closest point is 100,000 km dead ahead of us.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to cross reference the star charts of the Pendragon to the star charts of the Pendragon's ideal time line::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::dry mouth::  CEO:  I'm not supposed to be here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::backs the Pendragon off to 100,000km of the barrier and maintains that distance::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She shoots the CNS a look::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CNS: I didn't say that

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at Jordan::  Jordan: Mrs. Thraxis, please prepare a series of sensor probes and launch when ready

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CEO:  No. I did.  ::looks at the image on the view screen::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO/CEO: I've cross-referenced our star charts. From what I can gather, we are in the right time and place.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps from tactical toward the center chair again::  CNS: Counsellor, opinions.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::frightened::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes:: CNS: Smooth, Counselor.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::swallows hard::  CO:  I don't know, Captain.  Let me think.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods ... prepares three sensor probes.  As soon as they're ready she launches:: CO:  Probes away, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CMO: Good.  Any reports from sickbay of unusual crew experiences?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: Nothing. Sickbay has been dead. Quite literally.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::works the sensors, monitoring the probe telemetry as it comes in::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::tries not to read into the CMO's comment too much::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::hisses::  CMO:  I have no where to go but here.  ::tries to focus::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, ship's status report.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Sensors detect several vessels 120,000 km ahead, engaged in heavy battle. One is the Excelsior and the other three are of unknown configuration.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She begins to roll her hair with her right index finger:: CNS: Whatever you say.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::closes her eyes in an attempt to reach out to see if she can sense anything remotely indicating a sentient being::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She cannot help but smile, wondering how the re-organizing was going down in Sickbay::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Is that weapons fire?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As the probes approach the barrier they continue through, but transmit no further information.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, opinion of the battle.  History?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: We've lost the probes

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: So if a ship were to enter the barrier... all contact would be lost too?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks over the information coming in from the probes:: CO/CEO: Those ships don't look like anything I've seen...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: It didn't happen during my time in the former Pendragon, which  I can recall

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Confirmed.  All telemetry has been lost.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I believe that assumption to be correct

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The FCO begins shaking violently, then just as suddenly, becomes violently motionless.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Put the battle on screen.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::shakes really violently and is still again::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::startled by the FCO's movement::  CO:  Right... right away, Captain.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The FCO appears to be in a trance of sorts.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks oddly toward the FCO. Ashley stands up from her console and walks toward the FCO:: FCO: Is everything ok, Lieutenant? ::She places a hand on her shoulder::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::feeds the sensor data to the view screen::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::is caught in a trance state::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the CMO and motions toward the FCO::  CNS: Take the helm

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She takes out her Tricorder and begins to look over the readings::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  What?!  Me?!  ::grips his console tightly::  CO:  Right away.

Host Cootles says:
VIEWER: The images do not display anything understandable, but sensor telemetry continues to show the Exc Pendragon outnumbered, but holding its own.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::reconfigures the operations console to include helm control::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::approaches the FCO and places a gentle hand on her shoulder::  FCO: Lieutenant...  can you hear me?  This is Captain Vn'dor.  Do you hear me?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: If we're going to save her, we need to go in.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Let me try, Captain.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::notices they are at a dead stop and relaxes slightly::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Hold that thought Commander.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: I don't believe she can hear you, Captain. ::She looks toward everyone else and rolls her eyes:: Self: Sure.. don't let the Doctor do her job.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A single tear spills out from each eye of the FCO.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::motions for Jordan to approach::  Jordan: All yours  ::moves back to his chair::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks at the view screen trying to make sense of the display::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
All: if you would all be so kind... ::She motions for them to remain where they are for a moment::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::closes her eyes and reaches out with her mind for the FCO::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She finally begins to make sense of the readings:: All: My readings indicate that there is over-activity in her pre-frontal cortex. Perhaps telepathic communication. ::She watches Jordan:: CO: Captain, I wish you would have asked for my opinion first before allowing Mrs. Thraxis to enter her mind...

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CMO/CEO: What do you suppose the effects would be on the ship and crew should we cross the barrier?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Some of us might vanish.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: We could undergo the same trance-like state Mrs. Jet is in at the moment, some of us may cease to exist, this ship may vanish...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Jordan shakes violently as well and enters a trance herself. The FCO slumps forward, but regains consciousness.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: My first guess would be we'd travel in time. ::looks at the CNS:: And the counselor is quite right.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::goes rigid and doesn't move::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She glares at the CO as Jordan enters the trance::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::slumps in her seat::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::noticing Jordan:: CMO: Doctor!  Can you separate them?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::hopes the FCO's head doesn't hit the helm::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Outloud: Oh no...

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Self: Fantastic! ::She moves toward Jordan Thraxis. This was why she hated being a Doctor:: CO: They are separate... but it seems Mrs. Thraxis has been overtaken instead.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::turns off the console remotely just in case::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::just misses her console::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Setting aside all laws we are here to abide by, what do you think is the right thing to do here?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
CO: If you wouldn't mind. I would like to get her to Sickbay...

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CO: Sir just don't cross that barrier please.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::wipes the tears::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::knows that going in is the only way to complete their mission::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CMO: Take them both

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steels himself::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward the CNS:: CNS: Ensign, transport us to Sickbay. I am not going to carry her.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I am compelled to go in. We need to know more.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
FCO: Hotshot get your backside here now.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She looks toward the CEO:: CEO: And yet... we may technically "never" go in.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CMO:  Prepare for transport.  ::transports the CMO and Jordan to sickbay::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the CEO::  CNS: You heard the man.  Break the barrier.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
<FCO Hotshot> FCO: Got you T'Lisha.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::nods:: CMO: The variables are infinite. Myriad.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CEO: Commander, take Tactical and bring us to red alert.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::sets course for the center and engages thrusters::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::looks and begins to cry:: Self: No please don't go in there.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye ::hits the alert and takes tactical::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She materializes in Sickbay with Jordan. She rolls her eyes:: *CNS*: Ensign... I need Lieutenant Jet as well. Thanks. ::She cuts the comm.:: Servek: Get over here!

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Hail the attacking vessels.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She places Jordan on a biobed and decides to inject her with a bit of an inhibitor to numb her telepathic abilities slightly::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  I'll try.  ::attempts to hail the vessels::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As the Pendragon nears the barriers, the telemetry returns from the probes.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::transports the FCO to sickbay::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::reads the telemetry from the probes::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes her way over to Yates and immediately begins to look over Thraxis. It seemed she always had a medical problem::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::materializes in sickbay crying::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes at the crying:: FCO: What's wrong, Lieutenant?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  We'll reach the barrier in sixty seconds.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CMO: You wouldn't understand. There is death there. Terrible death.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::maintains course::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::notes the CEO checking something::  CEO: Commander?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes Jordan lay down on the biobed as she watches her:: CMO: The numbing is not working, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Hail them again, once inside.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::nods::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Broken static is coming through the comms, but nothing coherent yet.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'm receiving telemetry from the probes

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CMO: An evil of such magnitude it defies definition.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: Are you saying I'm insensitive?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CMO: No ma'am but if you had seen what I saw you would know.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::wipes the tears::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The probes indicate the Exc Pen has destroyed one vessel and is holding off the other two, but has sustained major damage itself.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::looking over to the right at his CEO at Tac:: CEO: And?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::puts the comm. on speaker and holds course::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: What sort of evil? Evil like having someone destroy an expensive pair of shoes... or destroying ones million bar home?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She places Jordan's neural pathways on a screen and attempts to determine what they are attached to::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
CMO: No ma'am the destruction of life and people.  Not minute items as shoes or latinum.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves back to Tactical and looks over the CEO's shoulder::

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: Oh yes... people. ::She pauses:: FCO: Who?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::braces himself::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: The other Pendragon has sustained heavy damage. It's taken out one of the other ships and is holding against the other two

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She looks over the readings very closely::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::noticing the battle::  CEO: I know those ships, they appear to be the insectoid race we encountered when the Excelsior class Pendragon was trapped in the Beta Quadrant.  We nearly destroyed that race by accident

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: Well?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She places her hands on her hips::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::lowers her head::  CMO: The others on the Excelsior ship and the ones they are fighting.  The evil is in the form of one that is called Jr'dan and another Cardassian and ......::puts head in hands and weeps softly::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: As the Pendragon crosses the threshold, the images of battle pop into the viewer. Debris from numerous vessels litters the area.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: Okay, so We're the ones that pissed them off. Great,

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::opens her eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Any return on hails yet?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::Is suddenly hit with the vivid pictures in her mind as they form::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Transmitting now.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Bridge*: Sickbay to Bridge. Apparently there is some evil thing named Jr'dan.. and another Cardassian, which I assume is Marat.. causing some problems over there. This is according to our Lieutenant down here.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CMO:  She speaks the truth.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::turns at Jordan's voice::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Jordan: Is it you?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
FCO: Great... thanks for the information. Now. Why not take a breather? ::She motions for the FCO to take a seat. She jumps at Jordan's voice:: Self: You! I almost forgot! Jordan: Are you.. ok?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::attempts to open communication channels with the ships::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nearly gulps hearing the CMO mention Marat::  *CMO* Thank you Commander.  Keep us informed.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The comms explode with thousands of hails at once. Timestamps indicate they are coming from as far back as 300 years, but none from the future.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Bridge: Who is this Jr'dan?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
*CO*: Jordan has come back as well. I will. Sickbay out. ::She moves toward Jordan::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::covers his ears from the noise::  CNS: Cut that speaker.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She watches Jordan's neural activity, her eyes not moving away from the readings::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
::moves over to Jordan::  Jordan: Then what I saw is true then.  All the evil and death.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::winces and shuts down transmission::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
CO: You so do not want to know. She's a very evil alternate universe variation of Jordan Thraxis

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  There were thousands of communications.  I'm searching them now.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Communication open.  ::stares up at the view screen::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::begins sorting through the communications data::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::holding her head:: CMO:  I think so.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: No word from the two attacking the NCC-42662?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: What did you see sweetie? ::She places a hand on her shoulder::

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::waits patiently on the CNS before giving his next order::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shudders:: CMO:  I saw .. her ... and Marat ... among others ... pure evil ...

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The view screen pops to life with the image of Marat. He is a mangled representation of his former self. It would appear he resembles the result of Kyrron's interrogation and his untimely end in the airlock.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Who is her? And what was the pure evil doing...?

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sees Marat::  CEO: You're up Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::steps out of the way::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Jordan: I am right. Oh my I am right.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Jr'dan ... Marat was the one who did that to me ... but what I saw were images ... thousands of images ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::quietly::  CEO:  It's open.

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
Jordan: Marat... is telepathic?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::braces himself:: Marat: This is commander Damien of the USS Pendragon. Care to explain yourself?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::can't believe that thing on the screen is actually alive::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Jet says:
Jordan: I saw the same as you did.  Why did it migrate to you?

CMO_Cmdr_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *CO*: Well, Captain. Apparently... Marat is potentially telepathic. It seems he has done this to Jordan and the Lieutenant. I suppose he knows about you then...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
FCO:  I don't know .... I was Jr'dan's host ... it could be that whatever it was sensed a familiar presence ...

Host Cootles says:
<Marat> COMM: Pen: CEO: Bless the Prophets you are here! Help us!

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The view screen goes dark and is replaced by images of the Exc Pen being hit by phaser blasts from the other ships.

Host Cootles says:
