Host Gilles says:
Attempting to capture a the crew on a Vulcan ship, the crew are experiencing what seems to be a time loop, yet the crew have the memories of the previous loop and experience their deaths over and over again.  How many more times must they die to remain dead, or.... to remain living?
Host Gilles says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The CO's voice echoes in the transporter room, "stop the transport" transport is initiated the Vulcan's shields raise. It sends a large energy feedback through the transporter system....
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
OPS: Transfer power from transporter room 1.  Don't let him transport again.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::slaps himself on the forehead:: Self: Here we go again.
OPS_Tork says:
ALL: I don't think this is a good sign. ::attempts to isolate critical systems and relays.... again::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The transporter operator is killed instantly as the transporter located in TR1 explodes.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::waits to see if they can stop it this time::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::At the CONN her head just a jumble of information.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::Sits at SC1 and starts scanning for spatial anomalies::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::moves down to her seat and activates her console::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Sights what appears to be an energy spike and drop on her sensors internally.::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
OPS: What was that spike there?  ::Points to the sensor reading.::
OPS_Tork says:
FCO: That's the energy disruptions wreaking havoc on our systems...
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Captain I'm not picking up any spatial anomalies on sensors.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::hears the warning klaxons and swears::  Self: Darn it...
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
OPS: No, that looks different.  Looks like it came from below deck like the transporter room.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: We've got to find a way to pull power from the transporter.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The weapons console overloads…killing the TO on duty.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: Scan the Vulcan ship.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::scans the ship::
OPS_Tork says:
::turns around and sees the dead Tactical Officer::  ALL: Did that happen before?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO/OPS:  What could be accounting for the differences in our time... I could have sworn we jumped back a bit farther that time.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::shakes her head as the consoles start to explode like all the times before::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: And look for temporal anomalies as well.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Captain, the Vulcan ship is using their transporter to cause the feedback in ours.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
All: There has to be something here... something we are over looking.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Pieces from the Weapon's console fly all over and burning pieces fall in the XO's hair.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Unknown Captain... Maybe it has something to do with what the other ship is doing as well...
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO:  Their transports?
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Yes Captain. ::starts scanning for Temporal anomalies::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The overload continues to progress.... exponentially through system to system.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
:: jumps out of her chair muttering Klingon curses as the burning metal hits her::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
XO: Are your hands burnt this time?
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
OPS: Confirm that this time it was the transports and not their raising shields that did the feedback.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Are you all right Commander?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO/CMO: I'll be fine.  Just minor.  It’s nothing that won't clear itself with a little white light.
OPS_Tork says:
::continues his attempts and rerouting systems and shutting down crucial relays::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::raises an eyebrow at her::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Puts all the pieces of the "tragic puzzle" together in her head as the memories come back yet again and realization dawns again.::
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress…Core overload in 4 minutes.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
Self: Here we go again.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Works her sensors on the outside vessel attempting to determine their power flow configurations.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::calls for the abandon ship... again::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
OPS: Can we shut down the power core fast enough to stop this the next time?
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: No temporal anomalies Captain.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: According to my calculations, the difference in the amount of time displaced is directly proportional to the size of the explosions aboard the Sharikahr. To paraphrase, the bigger the boom, the bigger the time difference.
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress…Core overload in 3 minutes.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::listens to the OPS officer::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Last time it was their shields that sent the feedback.  Now the doctor says it is them activating their transporters...this time is different some how.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Praying something will show up abnormal from the Vulcan ships power configuration flow charts in relation to their shields and their transporters.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: So, they are controlling it somehow.  They are changing what they are doing.  Just like we are.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::turns to the OPS::  OPS: Then make us blow bigger this time!
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::can't believe she just ordered that::
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress…Core overload in 2 minutes.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Do what?!
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Ummm... ok...
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Her fingers flying across the console and her eyes intensely focused on the data on the monitor.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: That could work.  If the size throws us further back, we may be able to get before the transport.
OPS_Tork says:
::reroutes all the relays to connect to each other and diverts whatever power he can to increase the magnitude of the explosion::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Captain, request permission to go get a milkshake just in case it is the last I'll ever have?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods her agreement::  XO: That is my hope.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: Request denied.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::chuckles a bit::
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress…Core overload in 1 minute.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: I think you may be right as well...they are trying to change things too.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::looks up at the CMO::  CO: Maybe we should have him man Tactical next time around just for that comment. ::goes back to work::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Hears the word "milkshake" uttered from the CMO's mouth and it rivets her from her concentration and whips her head around and stares at him momentarily before going back to work.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::sees the FCO look at him and shrugs::
OPS_Tork says:
::diverts emergency power to increase the force of the power surge::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: If we could just get word to them somehow that we are trying to fix this.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
XO: Ever think they don't want us to fix this?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: Ever think they don't want to stay in this loop with us forever?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Unfortunately I don't for see them wanting to help us... if anything they are going to be trying to maneuver themselves into a better position when we do solve it... kind of like chess.
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.  Core overload in 30 seconds..
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
XO: I don't know ma'am, I've been enjoying your company all this time.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Frustrated that her time is up.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Then we need to make certain our queen is still in one piece when we get out of this.
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.  Core overload in 10 seconds..
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
OPS: Prepare to cut power to the transporters when we flash back.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.  Core overload in 9 seconds..
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.  Core overload in 8...7...6...5
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: See you all a few minutes ago.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Out of natural habit braces for the impact.::
Host Computer says:
All: Warning.... warp core overload in progress.  Core overload in 4....3....2...1...
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
All: Boom!
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Knowing nothing will help it now.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Remind me to teach him the meaning of that word when we are done with this.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A white light engulfs the Sharikahr.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr is thrown out of warp and at a distance of 75000 km is another vessel. 
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Captain, I'm detecting another vessel at 75,000 km away.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Blinks and shakes her head climbing back into her chair, steadying the vessel back out.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::sees the sensors:: CO: Captain, we are back to when we first came out of warp I believe.
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::jumps up and down cheering to be alive again::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO/OPS: Confirm place and time please.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The vessel on sensors is not a Vulcan ship.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO: That is confirmed Captain.  It is NOT Vulcan. ::Her memory coming back.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Lock on to their shield generators and take them out with the phasers.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Checks ships chronometer and sensors for location and correlates them with the nearest independent buoy.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Hold...   FCO: Not Vulcan?
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The vessel a battered Federation starship, Norway class    NCC-82362, USS-Sharikahr turns to face you.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::locks on to the shield generators and realizes it's not the same ship::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO: No, No, No... Captain.  Its us......::Points to the view screen.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
Self: What the . . .
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::her eyes grow wide as she sees the Shari before her:::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::shuts down the lock on the shields::
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Uh... according to the transponder... it's us... of them... uh.. the Sharikahr.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: You receive an incoming hail.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Captain, I recommend we try to contact them.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: Scan our ship.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::A million different possibilities rush through her mind.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::sits down at SC1 and starts scanning:: CO: This one or that one?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Hail them.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: What are they doing?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::briefly wonders if she should have said what are we doing as she looks at her ship::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::steps down to her seat, leaving the tactical station to the TO recently returned from the restroom::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: This one.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: On the screen you see a battered bridge an a Vulcan with a scar running down the side of his face staring at you.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO: Looks like they are contacting us. ::Looks at OPS to handle that.::
Host Capt_Silek says:
@COM: Sharikahr: This is Captain Silek commanding the USS Sharikahr. Who the hell are you?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::pulls up the records of a Captain Silek::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Looks up at it remembering the Sharikahr’s history and noting that there never was a Silek in command of it but the name does reverberate from by gone eras past on another vessel.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::stands:  COM: Captain I fear something may not be right here... I am Captain Keely Cephas of... the USS Sharikahr.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Captain, S'chn Silek was the Commanding Officer of the USS Ganymede until star date 10201.10.
Host Capt_Silek says:
@ ::raises an eyebrow:: COM: Sharikahr: Indeed... Things appear.... wrong.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Sends a message to the Captain and XO's arm consoles that says, "Definitely not right, nor correlated with history for this person as CO of the Sharikahr, history has him commanding a USS Ganymede. This may be alternate universe/dimensions, and/or space time fabric tears.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: And the picture I have here doesn't show that scar.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Captain, perhaps the last explosion ruptured the space-time continuum? Scanning for anomalies as we speak...
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::hears her XO and tries to figure out what in the hell is going on here::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Perhaps the explosion was too large this time? ::steps up to Tork's side::
OPS_Tork says:
::presses a few buttons on his console and attempts to scan for any signs of space-time ruptures::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
OPS: Ensign, what're the chances that we opened a rift into an alternate universe with that last explosion?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to her OPS::  COM: Silek:  How did you end up here?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Notes the quantum signature for this area of space is not correct indicating that alternate universe/dimension is of high probability.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CMO: What is class of ship that we are standing on as we speak?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
XO: Quantum signature indicates probable alternate universe/dimension.  We are not where we belong.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: I'm not good at odds and probability, especially since temporal mechanics have never been my subjects...
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Norway Class Captain.
Host Capt_Silek says:
@ COM: Sharikahr: I was about to ask the same.... I was pursuing terrorists and was going to execute the death warrants I have for them.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::sighs a bit thinking 'at least we aren't on a Vulcan transport::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Initiates a scan of the area to look for space fabric tears and location and size.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO: Compare the signature of that ship.  What's the difference?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: Silek:  What terrorists?
Host Capt_Silek says:
ACTION: Another vessel appears on LRS.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Captain? I'm detecting another vessel on long-range sensors.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Leans her thoughts to more alternate universe as opposed to dimension change in same universe.::
Host Capt_Silek says:
@ ::looks back to his CTO and glances at the sensor readings::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Based on the data available.::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Tries to get an identity for the 2nd vessel.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
OPS:  Class?
Host Capt_Silek says:
ACTION: Akira class, NCC-80872, USS Sharikahr
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::moves back to her seat::
OPS_Tork says:
CO: According to the new vessels transponder... ::sighs:: ... it's another instance of the Sharikahr, Captain.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Sees the identity come back and looks at the OPS.:: OPS: Definitely not in right place.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Three of us?
OPS_Tork says:
CO: This one is Akira-Class.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Captain, I believe we have opened a rupture between continuums.  This may be what the Vulcan ship was attempting to do all along.  They wanted to escape to an alternate universe.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::furrows her brow::  Self: Akira?
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> COM: Sharikahr: What is this trickery... I want answers immediately.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: In fact, the longer we stay here the more we will meet if I'm right.
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> COM: Sharikahr: This is Captain M'Tor commanding the USS Sharikahr and I demand answers
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
::sits there with a blank stare::
OPS_Tork says:
CO/XO: If we did rupture the space-time continuum as the Commander hypothesizes, then we have to seal that rupture somehow.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Alters her thought pattern to think that this situation is most likely an event where many Sharikahrs from multiple dimensions and universes have converged in a space time tear and that they are probably not all in any real space.::
OPS_Tork says:
CO/XO: Well, we also have to find it...
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: M'Tor: Captain I am Keely Cephas... Captain of the USS Sharikahr... or at least the Captain from where I come from.  We are all wanting answers but it is going to take some time and cooperation on all our parts.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Captain M'Tor Rustazh is a Klingon commanding Abertura Station in our universe.
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> ::looks at Horn:: COM: Sharikahr: What is this foolishness?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Sends a preliminary hypothesis to the CO and XO regarding the above status and the possibility that the previous explosion/distance change perhaps caused this to occur.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: May I Captain?
Host Capt_Silek says:
ACTION: Another vessel appears into existence.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::doesn't stand for this captain as her past Klingon dealings revealed that would be a bad idea::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: M'Tor: I believe something has happened that has cause a rupture in time and space.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Captain, I'm detecting, yet, another vessel.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to her XO::
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> ::stares at his CSO::   CTO: Enough of this... Open Fire !
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
OPS: Make sure both ships can hear me please.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Looks at her sensors to confirm the OPS statement.:: OPS: Oh boy don't tell me the USS Sharikahr.
OPS_Tork says:
FCO: Ok, I won't tell you.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
OPS: Raise shields.
Host Capt_Silek says:
ACTION: M'tor's Sharikahr opens a full volley of quantum torpedoes on the new arrival.... destroying the vessel immediately.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: You open fire and you will lose your only chance to go home!  ::growls and mutters a Klingon curse just for M'Tor::
OPS_Tork says:
::activates the shields::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Deadpanned.:: OPS: You just did.  And he just destroyed it.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Indicates M'tor.::
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Captain, judging by the debris of the destroyed vessel, it appears it was a Federation Akira-class.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO/OPS: Find that rift, gentlemen.
OPS_Tork says:
CO: It's designation was unknown, however, considering what is transpiring, I have no doubt that it was another Sharikahr. Kinda like Dabo.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Gets a sinking feeling with the explosion of the 2nd Akira Sharikahr.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: Listen to me unless you are as stupid as you are ugly!  You destroy us all and you will remain here alone for the rest of your days.  Then you will have no stories and no glory and no honor to your name.  They will say M'Tor ran away like a child never to be heard from again.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::waits for M'Tor to answer::
OPS_Tork says:
CO: Scans of the area are still progressing, Captain.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO/XO: I'm detecting that there WAS a dimensional rift that we couldn't detect but it closed with the destruction of that vessel.
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> ::looks at Horn:: COM: Sharikahr: Be silent wench!  I will have no more interruptions until I have answers.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Silently tells herself at least her hypothesis is showing to be accurate.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: I will give you answers if you will have the courage to shut up and listen to a woman.
Host Capt_Silek says:
$ <Capt_M'Tor> ::curses:: 
Host Capt_Silek says:
ACTION: The channel is closed.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: Capt: There is your answer... check your scans of the area... you just closed all our ways home with the destruction of that ship!  Unless we can all work together to open another rift.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Smirks a bit at the XO's comment then resumes a serious look as the channel blinks out.::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: At least the one in our universe isn't that stupid.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
All: Alright folks we need to open a temporal rift... any ideas?
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Tries to formulate her thoughts for options.::
OPS_Tork says:
::has a dumbfounded look on his face and shrugs::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO: Doing what did it before.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Another explosion.  I suggest M'Tor's ship. ::grins::
CMO_LtJG_Cartright says:
CO: Don't we need a trans-dimensional rift?
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
::goes back to her station and does some checking::
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
::Looks at the XO.:: XO: That would do it alright. ::Looks to the CO for her reaction.::
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: We don't have the Vulcan ship.
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Captain, The other Captain...Silek.  He's a Vulcan and is liable to listen to reason.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Are you sure... another explosion would open another rift?
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to her XO::
XO_Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: I suggest we give him the full story, perhaps it was not just our explosion and caused this.  He was sitting here when we arrived.  Maybe his crew was doing the same thing at the same time.
FCO_Lt_Haynes says:
CO: No need to recreate in exact detail.  We can take creative license and still do the job.
CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::listens to all her crews thoughts::
OPS_Tork says:
ALL: You know? I'm not sure this is such a good idea... we have to recreate the energy surge that affected us.
Host Capt_Silek says:
