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

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon continued to be haunted by its doppelganger and more crew experienced the twisted realm of the Captain. Efforts to stop the Excelsior's course to Alpha Sigma Nine had been initially successful, but the Intrepid Crew appears ready to encounter whatever awaits them there.

Host Coot says:

ACTION: The Pendragon continues its course to Alpha Sigma Nine. Humbard, Luchena and Tribble have detected one other lifeform aboard the Excelsior Pendragon. A constant stream of colorful Bajoran cursing is transmitted freely over the comm. system.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley takes a seat in the command chair, crosses her legs, and looks at the viewscreen with a blank expression on her face::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::comes to on the floor of the Crystal Cave::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::in Main Engineering getting his hands dirty::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::on the bridge working::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@Luchena: Do you hear that?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Can you transmit the message on a much wider frequency? Perhaps blast it through their speakers some how?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::on the bridge at his station::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::jumps to his feet::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Should we answer?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CEO: Now next time, remember...  a Hydro Spanner is your best friend!  ::holding up the item for the CEO to see::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I could ... ::grins::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Do it. Perhaps they need the wake up call.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::drops the spanner on his toe and curses once more::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::tweaking the controls:: XO:  Already on it.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::wonders what everyone else is hearing::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Jose, what do you have in store for us regarding fail safes?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I think so

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::boosts the signal and sends the comm again.  This time it should be very noticeable::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::takes out communicator:: *CO*: Vn'dr Phail?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Excelsior's comm systems emit a sound that could be mistaken for a Klingon Love Song.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CTO/CSO:  We were on our way to main engineering?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::winces::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::picks up the spanner and was about to say something to Commander Vn'dor when he hears the COMM.:: *aCTO* Yes.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::covers his ears and motions for the CEO to fix it::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CSO:  That's him!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@*CO*: This is .... Lt. Tribble.  Sir, we will be joining you shortly.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward Jose assuming that he is in deep thought, hence why he is not answering her question:: CEO: Jose?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: What is our ETA to Alpha Sigma Nine?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO/CNS: Let's go!  ::begins running::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Ma'am?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::follows the aCTO and the CNS::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::raises an eyebrow trying to remember a Lt Tribble before turning to a console to search the name in the crew manifest::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::runs after Tribble::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: What sort of safe guards are you working on?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate something is getting through, but the signal is distorted somewhat.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She stands from the command chair and makes her way over to the science console:: Jordan: Any luck?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CNS/CSO: Let's get to him before something changes ::runs faster::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'm trying to erect an ad hoc force field throughout the ship, based on a recursive algorithm.

Host Coot says:
<FCO> XO: ETA to the convergence is 47 minutes, sir.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::having a hard time keeping up with Tribble::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Still no response ... however if they didn't hear that comm then they are deaf ...

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::comes up empty in the crew manifest on any name resembling "Tribble"::  CEO: Contact the CTO and have him send security here immediately

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Sounds good to me. ::She pauses:: CEO: Is there any way that we may be able to transport something to the Excelsior Pendragon?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::briefly pauses at the long list of names belonging to a single family then disregards the coincidence::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::arrives at Engineering:: CNS/CSO: Let's be cautious.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She shakes her head:: Jordan: Do you think we could transmit images as well?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  We could try ...

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I'm following your lead 

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She pauses for a moment:: Jordan: Nevermind. Lets take things one step at a time. See if you can contact a member of the Away Team first.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::enters Engineering:: CO: Captain Phail?

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Given the lack of cohesive phase linear relations ships between the two ships, it would be almost impossible to keep up with the variables.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CTO:  Let me go in first, Ma'am.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A great deal of ambient noise can be heard in Engineering, source not entirely clear.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::seeing the group arrive and wonders where the SEC Team is::  CEO: Remind me to oversee security for a while too...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She nods:: CEO: You've been known to accomplish the impossible before Jose. I bet you could find some way for us. ::She smiles briefly::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CNS: Fine.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::approaches Tribble::  Tribble: Lieutenant Tribble I suppose?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::steps forward::  CO:  Captain Vn'dor.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::sees the CNS step forward::  CNS: Not you again?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Yes. This is Counselor Luchena.  ::points politely:: and

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'm not so sure this time. I'd have to use a fractal algorithm as a carrier wave. But I'll try and beam you over if you like.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::nod::  CO:  Have you noticed anything odd going on?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: It won't be a person Jose... but perhaps a gas or a canister containing a type of knock out gas?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Sir.  We are from another version of the Pendragon.  It's important that we all understand each other before something changes and we can no longer speak with each other.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::chuckles slightly::  CNS: Odd?  You mean like a CTO that can't keep the imposters off my ship.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::raises an eyebrow at the aCTO thinking she needs a Counsellor::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::steps back to allow the CTO to try and reason with the CO::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward Jordan and wonders if she is having any success::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: There are two versions of Pendragon. Ours and yours.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'd rather not use a living being.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: I agree with you, Jose. However, if the situation worsens, transporting several canisters of "sleeping" gas may be in our favor.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: Next you're going to tell me that I belong on your version.  What makes your version more important than mine?  ::looking past the group of three for the Security Team::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears the console beep:: XO:  We may be able to get a visual transmission through now.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::stands behind the others, letting them discuss the situation::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  No one is coming Captain.  We see no one else on this ship but you.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Neither is more important.   What is important is that we work together, not against each other.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'm sure medical can whip up a batch of something nice. ::wicked grin::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Great. Place it on screen. Also, see if you can contact a member of the Away Team. Perhaps that will help us a bit.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Minor power fluctuations are detected as the communications system attempts to compensate for the shifts in the quantum stream.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: I bet Servek can. Give her a call and coordinate your efforts with her.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: Then what do you propose  ::pretending like he didn't hear the CNS::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I'm getting some minor power fluctuations ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: That our course of action be the same on both vessels.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::glances over at the CSO wondering what she thinks of all this::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: I'd assume they are rather normal, considering the circumstances. Let me know if they intensify.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: aCTO:  Lt Tribble, this is the Pendragon. Please respond.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Vn'dor sees the Security Team move in closer to the imposters, awaiting a signal to seize them.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: For what purpose?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: I'm not changing course.  I have a mission to perform at Alpha Sigma Nine.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: What is your mission, Sir?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::glances at the CNS and shrugs thinking to herself  'I have no idea what's going on' ::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::looks back at Vn'dor::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She observes the information on the science console, attempting to monitor the Warp 10 field::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::runs a broad band sweep:

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A static-laced message comes through the Excelsior's comm system. It is barely discernable as Jordan.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::looks up as the sounds comes through::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::seeing the security he continues to nod at the aCTO as if agreeing::  aCTO: There is apparently a rouge Intrepid out there.  We've been sent to investigate the reports

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She sighs as the ship continues to move through space without any real response from the "Away Team"::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Sir, may we answer the other comm?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looks up to the ceiling at the sound::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@COM: Voice: This is Captain Vn'dor of the U.S.S. Pendragon, do you read?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: Not on my watch.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@:CSO:  How could....  ::waits to see if the CO's communication is received::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CO:  Captain!  This is Jordan Thraxis.  Are you OK?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::raises an eyebrow at the woman's familiarity:: COM: Jordan: I am.  Who is this?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Vn'dor sees the Security Team grab ahold of the imposters. Each of the Away Team feels a very slight nudge against their shoulders, enough so to get their attention.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Ashley ... I think I have something ... it's very staticy, but I am getting a response to hails ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::feels a chill and looks around::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::Surprised, looks around::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward Jordan as the inflection of her voice heightens:: Jordan: Good! See if you can clear it up a bit. Patch it through so I can... formally introduce us.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::smiles::  AT: There.  My Security may be slow but they do come through.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@SEC: Take them to the Brig.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I have been trying to clear it up ... this is as good as I can get it for now ... but I'll keep trying.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::looks around as if she's grabbed, feeling nothing more than a nudge:: CNS/aCTO: What!?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  This isn't possible Captain.  ::steps forward towards the CO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::puts the transmission onscreen so Ashley can see it ... ::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::notices the CNS break the hold::  SEC: Grab him!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: I know and you're doing a great job. I know I could never do what you did. ::She smiles:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CO: This is Commander Ashley Lynn Luchena of the Federation Starship Pendragon. Please respond.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: They are not real enough to us to do anything to us, Ensign.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks at the screen::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::continues forward momentum.  Grabs the CO by the sleeve::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: What's going on? Where are we? ::still trying to get her head around the shift::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Want me to have medical have a canister ready in case you decide to go that way?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::is startled at the young man's apparent strength::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Please do Jose. Work with Servek. ::She smiles briefly::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Captain, they are not real in our universe.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  This is a dream, Captain.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Now, do you begin to understand?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: A dream?  ::beginning to have some doubt::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::holds on to the sleeve of the CO's uniform::  CO:  Otherwise they would be able to stop me.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks back toward Jordan and Jose:: Jordan/CEO: Lets hope that our transmission gets through. Has the probe transmitted any new data?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Our two universes are joining, but only partly and only at times.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looking from the CNS to the SEC team of Vn'dor's::  CNS: How are you doing this?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::forgot about the probe ... checks::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*Servek*: Damien to Servek. Can you have a canister of some great knock out gas made available to me? I can trigger it to detonate upon realization, but you'll need to supply the raw materials. :::fills her in the best he can::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The images of the Excelsior's Engineering Room come into focus briefly before blurring slightly. The effect is intermittent and looks unnatural on the viewscreen.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: Joining?  ..and you want to take me to yours?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  It's the warp 10 Field Captain.  Do you remember?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: No.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<MO Lt. Servek> *CEO*: As you wish, Commander. I will have it available in seven point three minutes.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  There we go!  XO:  This is the best I can get.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: As I said, we should want to work together.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::begins to vaguely have flashes of memory about a "Warp 10 Field" ::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Do you have anything on your tricorder you can play for him?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::releases the CO's arm and nods::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*Servek*: Have it sent to transporter room one. I'll get it there and make the modifications to it.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: No, that was all a dream.  Why? How?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She smiles:: Jordan: You're amazing Jordan! See if you can amplify my voice even more. ::She speaks again:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CO: This is Commander Ashley Lynn Luchena of the Federation Starship Pendragon. Please respond.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: What do you propose?  Get to the Bridge?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<MO Lt. Servek> *CEO*: Understood, Commander. Sickbay out.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::hears Yates but doesn't respond::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I will be in transporter room one. *Servek*: Damien out.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Intrepid crew detects a sudden build up of subspace activity. The Warp 10 device is activating again.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Keep me updated Jose.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::checks her tricorder:: aCTO:I'm checking ::Fiddles with the tricorder trying to bring up something for them::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'll keep you advised. ::exits the bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Notices the build up:: XO:  Commander!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  Let us answer it, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She turns toward Jordan:: Jordan: What is it?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::nods at the CNS trying to sort through a flurry of doubts::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: We may not have much time, Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I'm reading a massive buildup in subspace activity ...

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Source?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::speaks loudly::  COMM:  Pendragon:  It's Quinn.  We are with him.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::coming back around from his thought::  aCTO: Much time to do what?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::pinpoints the source:: XO:  The Excelsior ... it's the Warp 10 device!  It's activating!

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<MO Lt Servek> ::Once she has compiled the gas, she taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: We are ready on our end, Commander Damien.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The CSO's tricorder begins beeping with an alarm. The Warp 10 device is active and sequencing a new time shift.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: Quinn, the Pendragon's Warp Ten device has activated. Shut it down!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::hits his combadge as he enters the transporter room:: *XO*: I'll need a minute

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: The warp 10 device is activating.  Please, tell us why you are going there!

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looks at the source of the beeping:: CSO: Ensign?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::looks to the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
<MO Lt Servek> *CEO*: As you wish, Commander. I will contact you in 50 seconds.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CSO:  The Commander said to disable it.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::mutters as she quickly checks her tricorder::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: I told you, there are reports of a possible rouge Intrepid class vessel in the area.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::feels the first alarm of panic::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: Not rouge, Sir.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As the CSO lifts the tricorder for a better look, it comes nearer to Vn'dor and the beeping increases in speed and intensity by a factor of 5.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::makes the modifications to the canister:: XO: I'm going to have to control several of the variances of the transport manually. It'll be tricky, but I think we are ready to try.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@aCTO: What do you mean?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Is there anything we can do to the device from here? ::Her muscles have gone rather stiff::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  Captain?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::instinctively steps back from the CSO's Tricorder::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CO: That's us.  Trying to sort out the universes due to the Warp 10....

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The beeping lessens slightly.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::moves the tricorder around testing a sudden theory:: CNS/aCTO: I'm not sure what's happening.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::grabs the CO by the arm once again::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looking back from the aCTO to the CNS to the aCTO confused::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: Understood, Jose. We have a little problem up here... it seems the other Pendragon's Warp 10 device has been activated.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Hmmmm.  What caused that?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  I have no idea ...

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::self:: Damn

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  Its you.  What's happening?  ::afraid::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I'm not sure but I think the CO is the cause ::moves the tricorder closer to the CO again::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As the CNS grabs the CO's arm, he sees several visions from the past and a future he is vaguely aware of.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: What's me?  ::Looking around at the group::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: We'll have to proceed with great caution. That thing is incredibly unstable

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She closes her eyes for a moment before looking back at the viewscreen:: Jordan: They have their orders... there isn't anything we can do from here.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO: I don't understand.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The CSO's tricorder picks up in intensity once again as she nears the CO.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: We'll use the gas only if the situation worsens immensely. Report back to the Bridge. I may need you up here in case the situation turns even worse.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CNS: But we will understand.  Count on in, Counselor.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::thumps the console hard ... hates being powerless to do anything::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: Perhaps you are the imposters after all.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::terrified::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Yes Ma'am. I'll be right up.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CO:  Maybe you are right.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: Quinn, what's going on? ::She puts on a hard front for the Bridge crew::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::tries to respond but his mouth is too dry to speak::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::pauses and looks at the others then goes back to trying to figure out what is going on::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: Then we need to get the group of you back where you belong, but first we need to confirm this new theory.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::leaves for the bridge::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The CO pulls his arm away from the CNS and a section of his sleeve tears away. Along the inside of the CO's arm is bio-mechanical devices that resemble Borg implants.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CSO: Scan yourself with the Tricorder, do you get a similar reading?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward Jordan:: Jordan: I truly hate feeling helpless like this...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::points phaser at CO:: OK. Very careful.  Be very still.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::Shrugs and scans herself and then looks at the tricorder::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: Commander Damien reporting. ::takes his station::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::stares at the CO's arm in horror::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: CEO: No need to be... so formal Jose.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@COM:  Pendragon:  XO: He's a Borg.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looking at the group::  AT: What?  Do you not have implants?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She feels her hair perk up a bit:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: What do you mean a Borg?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: What do your scans of yourself show?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::scrambles backwards, falling on his butt in the process::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::holds phaser on CO::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::turns the tricorder on her shipmates and then turns to the CO:: CO: Our scans are normal. ::shows the tricorder::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::laughs unconvincingly:: XO: Yes Ma'am.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The sound of the Main Engineering doors open behind the Away Team.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon  XO:  Vn'dor.  I think I'm going to be sick.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: But how? ::She pauses:: I don't care what he is at this point Quinn. You need to do what you can to complete this mission.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:

@::on his hands and knees retching, turns his head toward the sound of the door's::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO/CNS: OK. Let's get on with it. ::prepares to fire phaser::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: A militaristic Cardassian female enters the room with a loud clank-clank.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::lifts his foot away from the "retching CNS"::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::fires phaser at CO and turns it on Cardassian::

Host Coot says:

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::smiling::  Marat: Glinn.

Host Coot says:
@ <Marat> CO: Haven't we been through this song and dance before, Vn'dor?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::looks from her two crewmates to the CO to the Cardassian who just appeared::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Marat: Far too many times my dear.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley looks around the Bridge:: CEO: How far out are we from Alpha Sigma Nine Jose?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::wipes his mouth::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Glinn walks slowly past the Away Team, eyeing each of them briefly.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: We're 18 minutes out.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::looks up at the Cardassian woman::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: Jordan: Status of the warp 10 field?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::wonders if the Comm is still open::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::stares at CO and wonders why he hasn't fallen::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@COM: Pendragon:  XO:  There's a Cardassian woman here.   He called her Glinn.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: Is she wearing rather loud boots?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::wonders what would happen if she fires at Cardassian::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@COMM:  XO:  Yes Ma'am.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::shakily gets to his feet::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: CNS: Stun her.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::looks a litte strange as the younger Lunch Box speaks...they say it runs in the family::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::fires phaser at Cardassian::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::doesn't have a weapon.  Looks at the CTO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  It's still intensifying.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Red Alert. Have everyone brace for... something.

Host Coot says:
@ <Glinn> ::is hit by the phaser and spins to the floor:: CTO: You fool!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Initiates Red Alert and warns everyone to hold onto something::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::increases setting of phaser and points it at CO again::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Have the ship reduce speed to impulse. I'd prefer not to be thrown out of warp.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::walks over to an Engineering console smashing it and all Comm Systems::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: Might be wise ::takes the ship to impulse::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  We've lost the comm ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::startled by the CO::

Host Coot says:
@ <Glinn> ::struggles to remove her own weapon:: CTO: Are you prepared to finish this?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@Glinn: Yes.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Self: Damn! ::She throws herself into the command chair::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::startled by the Glinn's movement::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::stands watching the Glinn and the aCTO::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::looks from the aCTO to the Cardassian and back again::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@All:  No!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CNS: No?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The comm system explodes in a shower of sparks. The channel is still open, but the static has worsened considerably.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::desperate::  COMM: XO:  Help us!

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@COM: Pendragon: XO: Commander Yates-Luchena, What are your orders?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Wait ... the channel is still open ... but it's going to be useless pretty much.  Too much static ...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::moves between the Glinn and the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She can barely make out what is going on:: Jordan: Do your best to clear it up... but I know it isn't really going to happen. Focus our power on ensuring that this ship isn't destroyed by who knows what.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@CNS: Move boy.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::stands his ground::  Glinn:  Don't.  Please don't.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::fingers moving across the console:: XO:  On it.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::moves over to the CNS and drags him out of the way::

Host Coot says:
@ <Glinn> ::pushes herself to her knees:: CTO: I've been her once, I won't come again.  ::fires her phaser at Quinn::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
COM: Excelsior Pendragon: Luchena to the Away Team. Do whatever necessary to shut down the Warp 10 device. Protect yourselves and do NOT use deadly force unless absolutely necessary.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Any suggestions Jose?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::stares at his chest in disbelief as the beam passes through him::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::shocked by the events just stands there::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Marat's shot passes directly through Quinn and tears into Vn'dor, severing a mechanical arm.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@COM: Pendragon: XO: Aye, Ma'am. CSO: You heard her. Let's get it done.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: It's impossible to predict what will happen with the warp 10 field in effect. We may have to try to beam them back.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: And risk having them return a pile of lime jelly?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::looking down at the arm on the floor::  Marat: Now look at what you did.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::opens fire on the Warp 10 device::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I don't think that will happen

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::backs away::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: What would our success rate be?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Warp 10 field has begun to engulf the Excelsior.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@All: Here we go again.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::continues firing on the Warp 10 device::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::rubs his chin:: XO: Maybe eighty percent.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::falls to his knees, completely out of his mind with fear::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: As Tribble fires on the device, Glinn fires once more at Vn'dor.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::screams::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  We need to get them out now!  The field is beginning to engulf the other Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Lock onto the Cardassian and Vn'dor first.... I don't want to bring our people back one at a time and then have them left with the "enemy".

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@::laughing maniacally at the Glinn's futile attempts::

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: I'll give it my best shot

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Once you have those two, transport the other three. ::She nods toward Jordan::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: See if you can find something to hit it with.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
:;attempts to establish a transporter lock::

Host Coot says:
@ <Glinn> CO: Your place is not here. You must return to Origist.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Have a full Security Team report to the Transporter Room. ::She stands and makes her way toward the Turbo Lift::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::comms Security and orders a team to the transporter room::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Would you care to join me?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She enters the lift a second later::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Glinn: I am not going back to that Prophet forsaken planet

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CEO can only lock onto the CSO, CNS and CTO.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets up:: XO:  You bet!  ::moves to the lift and joins the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Once Jordan enters the lift, she orders it to Transporter Room One::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::sobbing::  Self:  It's not him.  It's not him.  It's not him....

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
XO: You're not going to like this. I can't get them, just the CSO, CNS, and CTO

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::phasers different parts of it, trying to find the soft spot::

Host Coot says:
@ <Glinn> CO: It was foretold. You are not hear, you cannot be whole until it is fulfilled.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: Then transport them now Jose! Then work on Vn'dor.

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: Aye

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
::initiates transport::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::feels transport::  NO!!!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Security should already be there.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Once the Turbo Lift stops, Ashley makes her way out and jogs toward the transporter room:: Jordan: Good.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::follows the XO::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::pulls herself together finally, just as the transporter grabs her::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
@Glinn: I have a better idea....  ::a smile crosses his face::  Why don't you take my place there?  ::inputs new orders into the Excelsior Pendragon's Computer::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Away Team disappears from view and the Warp 10 device reached critical mass.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She finally reaches the Transporter Room and makes her way inside. She waits for someone to materialize::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: I just hope we got them...

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::enters the room:: XO:  So do I ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The channel is lost as the Excelsior explodes and disappears from the viewscreen.

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: Jose, did you initiate the transport? ::She taps her foot impatiently::

Host Coot says:
<TR_Chief> *CEO* Sir! We got them!

CEO_Cmdr_Damien says:
*XO*: You should have them, if you ever are.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::materializes::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward the Transporter Chief. Perhaps he just did not notice them there:: *CEO*: It looks like they are coming now...

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::materializes::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Away Team materializes on the transporter pad.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::looks around in panic::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::looks at Luchena:  Are you all right, Quinn?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
aCTO:  I need to find Lieutenant Simmons.  ::white as a ghost::

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Security: Stand down. ::She makes her way toward the three:: CNS/aCTO/CSO: What happened over there? ::She notices Quinn's expression:: CNS: Quinn?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::almost slumps as she materializes on the transporter padd but gains her composure enough to look around with some relief:: 

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I don't know what happened.  Excuse me.  ::rushes past towards the door::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Just a minute, Ma'am.  He's been through a rough time.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::puts arm around Humbard::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns startled:: CO: Captain?

XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She watches as Quinn makes his way for the door:: Transporter Chief: Transport Ensign Humbard to Sickbay immediately.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: What happened? Cardassian boots? ::smiles ruefully::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::walks into the TR staring at the wary crew::  TR: What's happening?  You all look like you've been marching for three days in Cardassian boots.
