USS Sharikahr - SD 10504.07 
Host Gilles says:
The USS Sharikahr is trapped in another quantum universe. According to the sensor readings from another Sharikahr from a separate quantum universe, it seems the Sharikahr from this reality exchanged places and went to this crew's home universe.  Also according to the sensor readings, the missing Vulcan vessel is in the area. Also included are instructions on how to locate the cloaked vessel.  The Captain loss consciousness suddenly and is treated in sickbay.  Someone once said... "There are always possibilities...". Let us hope this is the case from the Sharikahr and her crew.

XO_Horn says:
::paces across the bridge::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::sits at SC1, watching the XO pace.::
OPS_Tork says:
::looking over the sensor information::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::goes back to running more simulations with all the data he has.::
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Apparently, we can find the missing Vulcans.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Good.  When you find them, show me where they are.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::bangs his head on the console in frustration::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The CMO gets a headache.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Yes, ma'am.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Self: Ouch.
OPS_Tork says:
::looks down at his sensors and waits a while::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Science console begins to bleep.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Found them...35,000 km off the starboard bow.
XO_Horn says:
::glances up:: CMO: Physician heal thyself...and stop doing damage.  I need you in one piece.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::looks at the station panicking.::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::hits a few buttons to fix the station::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Fire the phasers…just enough to drop their cloak.  Don't destroy them.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Find something?
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Uh...ok... ::programs the phasers and fires on the Vulcan's apparent location::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: No ma'am. ::blushes a bit::
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Understood.
OPS_Tork says:
::presses the button to fire the phasers::
XO_Horn says:
::moves up behind the OPS officer and watches the sensors over his shoulder::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: A Vulcan ship appears briefly in the shadow of the exact spot where the phasers are firing.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Vulcan ship explodes.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
Self:  Blasted controls.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: What happened?  I said to take out the cloak only!
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::sits at the science station in shock::
OPS_Tork says:
XO: I'm not sure, Commander. I'm sure I programmed the phasers to fire on a minimal setting.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Doctor, scan that debris carefully.  I need to know what happened.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: With their cloak engaged, we may have hit something that was damaged.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::starts scanning the debris::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Scan again for signs of survivors.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Commander, there are no signs of life only debris. No biological matter at all.
XO_Horn says:
FCO: Get us close to that debris.  Thrusters only.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Trying to keep us on a steady flight path.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Send me those scans.  I need to...check for something specific.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Confirmed, Commander. No sign of bio-matter. Only debris.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::sends the scans to the XO's console.::
XO_Horn says:
::moves to her chair and sits down::
XO_Horn says:
::starts checking against the information the Captain gave her about the phased cloak::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The chair squeaks.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Self: This is hopeless.
XO_Horn says:
::grunts:: Self: Figures.
XO_Horn says:
::finds the Vulcan ship wasn't using the phased cloak::
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
::manipulates the Sharikahr closer using only the thrusters::
XO_Horn says:
All: Okay, ladies and gentlemen.  It looks like Captain Silek took what was on that Vulcan ship.  We've got to find him and fast.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Analyze what sensors gave us.  See if you can find where Silek went.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Aye, ma'am.
OPS_Tork says:
::looks down at his console and looks at the sensor data::
XO_Horn says:
FCO: Double check the information M'Tor sent us.  Look for any clues that Tork may need.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: What about those autopsy results?  Was there anything that might let us know why they wanted us here?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::shakes his head.:: XO: Nothing ma'am.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Okay, see what you can learn about how Silek bounced that energy off our shields.  That may be our ticket home.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Open the comm to Captain M'Tor please Ensign.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Channel open.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Ma'am, I've been running different simulations based on all of the information we have and I keep coming up with nothing.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Understood sir.  I will get right on it.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
Self: It's just hopeless.
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: Captain, do you have any idea where Captain Silek has gone and why?
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@COM: I sent my sensor data...as to his motivations...I do not know.
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: I thank you for the data.  We are studying it now.  Captain, I propose we work together to find the way to our homes.  Would that not be the honorable thing to do?
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Commander, if I may?
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
::working on his task that the XO gave him::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Go ahead.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::wonders to himself if he took into consideration that the computer wouldn't account for inter-dimensional travel because it was believed to not exist.::
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@COM: Sharikahr: XO: Our sensors show he used some type of passive scan to get the quantum signature... to identify his destination... as to the modifications.... ::shrugs:: I suspect it has something to do with this area of space.
OPS_Tork says:
::mutes the open channel::
XO_Horn says:
::moves back up to the OPS officer:: OPS: What is it?
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Commander, according to the sensor data provided by M'Tor, our ship was bombarded by Silek's ship by a passive narrow band energy scan. The scan appears to have refracted off our sensors and, in essence, confused our sensors long enough for Silek to disappear.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: All my scans and sensor readings look to be the genuine article.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: However, I am uncertain if the sensor data provided by M'Tor is real or false.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Commander, the field density in this area of space is weak. Maybe it has something to do with that?
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Shall I unmute the channel, Commander?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::adjusts his simulations to account for the weaker field density::
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Scan the area again.  Look one more time for the signature we were using to trail that Vulcan ship.  And yes, unmute the channel.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
Self: Something here is really stinky.  It just doesn't add up??  ::he scratches his head in confusion::
OPS_Tork says:
::nods his head and unmutes the channel::
OPS_Tork says:
::begins to scan the area with sensors again::
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
::continues to hold the ship at station-keeping::
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: That signature matched our own.  Captain, do you know how to get home?
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@COM: Sharikahr: XO: They altered their warp field and used you and a key to the other universe.
OPS_Tork says:
::looks back at Commander Horn::
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Commander, sensors show altering their warp field at a certain spot and with the signature of their destination sent them there. I believe we can duplicate it.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Start on it.  Let me know when you are ready.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: That is confirmed, Commander.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::begins to work on the task at hand::
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: Captain, we are going to follow Silek.  He has something that belongs to us.  When we leave, can you get home?  If not, we need to find a way to return all of us to our own universes.  I will not leave a ship stranded.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Sir?
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@COM: Sharikahr: XO: Hmmmf I speculate we must act in concert so we can exchange signatures somehow.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: I'm about to begin calibrating the warp field.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
::looks back at the XO::  XO: Sir??
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: Agreed.  We have each other's quantum signatures due to previous scans.  Begin your calculations and contact me when you are ready.  Sharikahr out.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Cut the comm.
XO_Horn says:
FCO: What did you find?
OPS_Tork says:
::closes the channel::
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@ ::mumbles to himself and decides not to shoot the arrogant female:: 
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Well sir not so much as to what I found out but maybe as to how we might do this simultaneously.
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Understood.  Begin calibrations but don't activate the deflector until my mark.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::does as ordered, feeling a little hope for once.::
XO_Horn says:
FCO: Work with the doctor.  Set things up and send any information that M'Tor needs over to him.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Why not bounce the signal from our ship thus returning us to our own time frame and the rest would follow suit and return to their own time.
XO_Horn says:
FCO: Can you guarantee they would return?  We aren't the ones that opened this rift.  The Vulcan ship did that.
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Any sign of that signature?
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Which signature are you talking about? Last time I checked, there were three or four possible signatures to detect...
XO_Horn says:
OPS: I asked you to scan for the signature we were originally following…the one that led us to the Vulcan ship.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Almost ready Commander.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Yes I can if the Vulcan ship does it first.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: Right, that one...Definitely not in the area.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Well sir a guarantee if that is what you are asking but since the Vulcan ship is now gone, I suggest it comes from us.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO:  But I cannot guarantee it will work.  It is a risk.
XO_Horn says:
::looks at the FCO in disbelief::  FCO: Oookay.  What if both ships bounce energy simultaneously?
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: Theoretically, it would send our own signature back to us.
CEO_Running_Horse says:
FCO: You’re gonna have to move if you want me to get us home.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Exactly sir, just the way she put it.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
CEO:  I got you hang on a sec.
XO_Horn says:
FCO: Okay, turn us to face M'Tor.
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
@COM: Sharikahr: XO: We are prepared...we await your signal to begin.   Q'ap'la
XO_Horn says:
CMO: Coordinate with Engineering.  We'll need to match a countdown.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
XO: The Warp Field is calibrated and waiting for your call Commander. ::smiles::
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
CEO: The XO will give the order.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::stands by.::
CEO_Running_Horse says:
FCO: You got to be kidding??? Yeah ok I got it.
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: We are ready.  Q'ap'la!  On my mark.  5...4...3
XO_Horn says:
COM: M'Tor: 2...1 Mark.
CMO_LtJG_Cartwright says:
::excutes::
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
ACTION: The universe around the Sharikahr seems to shrink............  
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
ACTION: Both vessels move away from each other without moving.
XO_Horn says:
::takes a deep breath and holds it::
CEO_Running_Horse says:
Self: Men.  What the................stops breathing...........
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr emerges............ somewhere.
OPS_Tork says:
ALL: We're alive!?!
Host Captain_M`Tor says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr finds itself alone in an empty area of space.
XO_Horn says:
All: Where are we?
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
Self:  This is where we are supposed to be.  All my instruments say we are in the Sol galaxy…Home.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: We are home... apparently.
FCO_Scratchthepaint says:
XO: Sir we are home but where is everything?????
XO_Horn says:
OPS: Scan for Silek's ship.  Use the signature of the Vulcan vessel.
OPS_Tork says:
XO: No sign of it...
XO_Horn says:
ALL: Find out exactly where in our galaxy we are.
