USS Tal-War - SD 10406.19

Romulans to the left of me... Romulans to the right of me...

Host Gilles says:
Due to the unorthodox idea from the Operations Officer, the Tal-War has succeeded in escaping the dark matter nebula.

Host Gilles says:
They now find themselves surrounded by two dozen Romulan vessels.

Host Gilles says:
What are they to do now?

OPS:  Hail the lead ship.

TO_Hunter says:
::Raises shields and brings weapons to hot standby:: CO: Yellow alert?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Initiate.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
ACTION: A Romulan appears on the view screen frowning.

CO: Aye. ::presses his big Yellow button::

Host CO_Kyrron says:

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Hold steady.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: Identify yourselves.

FCO_Shania says:
::holds the steering wheel steady, as ordered::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::watches the view while preparing power transfers::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM: Romulan:  We are the U.S.S. Tal-War.  We had a little alternate reality problem.  If you'll move aside we'll be on our way.

TO_Hunter says:
::monitors shields and sensors::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks to the CO and raises an eyebrow::  CO: Assuming a great deal of magnimosity here aren't we Ma'am?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::winks at OPS::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: I do not like technological double-talk and I know not of any Tal-War... where is your homeport ?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Romulan:  I'm from Zalda.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS/FCO:  Is there anything familiar within sensor range?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Is the technology of those ships consistent with our time-line?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::scans::  CO: Scanning.....

FCO_Shania says:
::checks sensor readings::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ ::pounds his fist on the console:: COM: Tal-War: CO: Enough.... What empire are you from? What is this ship? I have never seen anything like it.

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I'll check. ::has a look in the database::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: I'm scanning for nearby Star bases and the nearest time beacon....  Stand by....

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Romulan:  We belong to no Empire.  ::stares him down::  We work for ourselves.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::raises eyebrows:: CO: Uhhh Captain...  We have two big problems....

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Continue.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::double checks scans::  CO: Well, there are no Federation ships in assigned patrol areas at all....  I can't even find a time reference beacon...   

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: What is this useless discussion... you intrude in our space.... you spout lies in an unknown vessel that marks of technology that I have never seen... I demand an explanation.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::staring at console::  CO: Secondly...  Our Quantum Signature is off....  WAY off.....

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I got the same readings here.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::sighs::  COM:  Romulan:  We are lost.  We seek only to remove ourselves from your territory.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: I've used the lead Romulan vessel as a reference....   It would appear that the static warp bubble has literally thrown us into an alternate reality....   How or why is unknown....  

TO_Hunter says:
CO: But the timeline looks fine.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the TO::  FCO:  We have to get out of here.  OPS:  Can you recreate the event?

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: Better... where is your home? I admit I am never seen the likes of you and yours.

TO_Hunter says:
::discreetly scans the Romulan weapons::

TO_Hunter says:
::scans their shields while he's at it::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::sigh::  CO: Unknown...  The dark matter nebula was one of the constants...  

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Romulan:  I'm from Zalda.  We have an interspecies crew on a mission of exploration.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS/FCO/TO:  I want a plan and I want it now.  *CMO*:  Report to the bridge.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::quickly brings up data on dark matter nebulas to see if there is a way to recreate the conditions::  CO: Aye....  

CMO-Uax says:
*CO* enroute!

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Brief the Doctor when she arrives.

CMO-Uax says:
:: heads out of sickbay leaving one of the nurses in charge of sickbay :: going to the TL :: TL: Bridge

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: I know the Zaldans... You hate lies... are quite honorable... and you do NOT posses the technology to create.... ::points:: THIS...  Where is this vessel from Captain?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I don't think picking a fight would be the wisest thing to do.

CMO-Uax says:
:: arrives at the bridge and walks on :: CO: You called for me?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks him straight in the eye::  COM:  Romulan:  A different time-line.  So I'm sure you understand the importance of us not influencing this one.  Please let us pass.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
Computer: Computer, Extrapolating from existing data on dark matter nebulas, is there a way to recreate the phenomenon using technology on-board the Tal-War?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CMO and gestures toward the FCO::

FCO_Shania says:
CMO: Come here, please.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ ::looks over to his Science Officer and sees him nod:: COM: Tal-War: CO: I concur... you have a different quantum signature than our universe.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::waits as the computer beeps and churns searching for the answer::

CMO-Uax says:
:: walks up to the FCO and stands by her console :: FCO: what is it?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Romulan:  Let us go.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
<Computer> OPS: Unknown at this time.... calculations will require another 12.4 minutes.

FCO_Shania says:
CMO: We are in a different universe and we need to find a way back. ::points to the view screen:: There are the Romulan and the good news is they don't know nothing about Starfleet. Oh, and I need you to punch me so I know I’m awake.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
Computer: Begin Calculations

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Plot a course out of here.

CMO-Uax says:
:: looks to the FCO: Well I can certainly try and help with the first situation but as for the second. no way! I'd have to treat yah then.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::checks scans to see if the static warp bubble is still in place for some wild reason::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: You will receive a heading from our Science officer... you will not deviate from that course... ... you will leave our space immediately.

FCO_Shania says:
CMO: You? treating me? no punching!

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the screen::  COM: Romulan.  Thank you.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  When you receive the coordinates, engage impulse engines.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Captain...  The computer is working on a way to recreate the properties of the nebula.  The calculations will take about 12 minutes...  

CMO-Uax says:
:: stands up huffs and walks away from the FCO to the back of the bridge ::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Figure out where they are sending us.

CMO-Uax says:
:: sits down at a science console and starts working on a way to get the crew home ::

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I'm on it ::runs checks on headings::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Understood.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
@ COM: Tal-War: CO: Captain.... we will.... maintain discrete surveillance. Understood?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::tapping on the console, checking scans:

Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Romulan:  I'd expect no less.  Thank you again.

FCO_Shania says:
::receives coordinates and engages impulse engines:: CO: On our way

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Close channel.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Try not to bump into one of them.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::reaches over and closes the channel::  CO: Channel Closed....

TO_Hunter says:
CO: They appear to be sending us toward Betazed.

FCO_Shania says:
::disappointed:: CO: Ok, if you insist.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Captain...   I do have a cause for us ending up here....  

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks at DeRidder::   TO:  Sounds safe enough.  Get all the information you can on the planet as we approach.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  What is it?

CMO-Uax says:
working away at the calculations and the effects ::

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye, I'll start on long range scans.

TO_Hunter says:
::runs LRS scans on the heading plotted::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  ETA to Betazed?

CMO-Uax says:
CO: it looks like I’ve found a way to get us back.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CMO:  Excellent. What is it?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: There was a power fall off at the precise moment we engaged the static warp bubble.  Shields were insufficient to protect us from the associated subspace shift.  Since the warp drive was still engaged at the time, we slipped through a subspace corridor left by the collapse of the bubble, and we ended up here.  It's more or less a Transwarp Universal Shift, ala Constitution-class USS Intrepid. about 95 years ago...   

FCO_Shania says:
CO: 1.3 hours at current speed.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: The computer is still extrapolating data on recreation of the event.  5 minutes remaining on data calculation

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Captain, only four of the 24 ships have broken off to follow us.

CMO-Uax says:
CO: another static warp bubble,

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CMO: Co-ordinate with OPS.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Are their weapons charged?

CMO-Uax says:
CO: aye, the location seems to be where the Romulans are taking us.

FCO_Shania says:
::thinks about a zigzag course::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
CMO:  The location of what Doctor?

CMO-Uax says:
CO: Betazed, or if its there..

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye Captain, looks like they don't trust us too much.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  They may have good reason.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: That's the plan, but we have to be able to recreate the power fall off exactly so that the same variables will be in place....  The chances of that are damn near impossible because we have to reverse certain variables...   

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
<Computer> OPS: Event may be recreated within a dark matter nebula.

CMO-Uax says:
OPS: I know that. I'm trying to figure those out.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::overhears the computer::  FCO:  Any dark matter nebulas on our way?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
Computer: That's not what I asked.  Can we recreate the event using technology that we have available on the ship.

TO_Hunter says:
::gets fixes on the exact location of all four Romulan ships::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Uhm... ::checks:: ...nope

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
Self, Audible: Smart Alec Computer....

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Well, unless you got a lot of time on your hands...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  As long as those ships are on our tail we'd better stick to our current course, Commander.

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I'm keeping an eye on our escort, they seem to be in a diamond configuration behind us.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::contacts Engineering for the status of the warp drive::

FCO_Shania says:
CO: The next nebula is 11 yrs away at warp 9, according to Federation Star charts.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
:sigh::  CO: Captain..  It appears that the computer is having a hard time this one...  I'll be in engineering...  There has to be a way to artificially recreate the power degradation at the precise moment of initialization of the bubble.....

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::heads to the turbo lift::  MO: Care to join me Doctor?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Keep me updated on your progress.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Aye Captain....

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Go to warp and stay on course to Betazed.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
ACTION: The Romulans stop escorting the Tal-War as they cross the line "marked" in the received course. The vessels continue to patrol the border.

CMO-Uax says:
OPS: course.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::enters the TL, and exits when arriving in main engineering::

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Captain, the escort has broken off and is resuming their patrol.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Any idea how far they can track us?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye. ::goes to warp 4::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
<EO_Thumbs> OPS: Ummm.. are you here to send us into somewhere even scarier Sir?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::walks over to the master control console::  Computer: Computer, Call up the system status logs for the 5 minute period denoting the status of all systems associated with Program DeRidder 1.....   

TO_Hunter says:
CO: I got a look at their schematics, we'll be out of range in about 5 minutes.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::shoots a look to the EO::  EO: I've had a bad day Ensign...  Disappear.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::grins::  TO:  Let me know when five minutes are up.

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
<EO_Thumbs> OPS: Ummm.. I also have orders to shoot you on sight Sir.... which one am I to follow?  ::grins::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::develops a look of rage::  EO: Resume your duties before I relieve you of them!

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::begins looking at the sensor logs as they appear on the console::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
::salutes sloppily:: EO: Aye Sir.... Getting my phaser now...  ::walks away to the secondary status display::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  When the TO gives the word, come to a full stop.

CMO-Uax says:
OPS: what're we doing?

TO_Hunter says:
CO: That's five Captain, we should be out of range now.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Do it.

FCO_Shania says:
::hits the brakes::

TO_Hunter says:
::braces himself on his console::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*:  Report.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: We've stopped.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CMO: Well...  The nearest nebula is 11 years away at maximum warp...  The computer can't extrapolate a process by which we can recreate the conditions of the nebula to facilitate the exact amount of power loss, so we need to figure out exactly how much power loss occurred, when, and at what point in the transfer from the warp core to the warp field.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  I noticed that.  Thank you.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
*CO*: Captain...  This is going to take a while.  The computer can't extrapolate a process by which we can recreate the conditions of the nebula to facilitate the exact amount of power loss, so we need to figure out exactly how much power loss occurred, when, and at what point in the transfer from the warp core to the warp field.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Plot a course to that dark matter nebula

CMO-Uax says:
OPS: Understood. :: starts looking at data ::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
MO: Hey Doc.... are you here to do something about our OPS officer?

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::plots course:: Course laid in.

TO_Hunter says:
::looks at the little blips on LRS that are the four Romulan ships as they disperse and go about their business::

Host CO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*:  No rush.  We have 11 years.

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Looks like they haven't seen us hit the brakes cap'n.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Run long range scans of this area.

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
*CO* So it would seem.....   

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  What systems are along the course?

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::still reviewing the logs::

CMO-Uax says:
:: does a double take :: OPS: Come and take a look at this reading.

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye Cap'n, running them now. ::runs scans as far as he can see in every direction::

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::walks over to where the CMO is standing::  CMO: Whaddya have Doctor?

CMO-Uax says:
:: scrolls back :: and points to a certain timeframe :: OPS: Look at that power reading.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Well, there are... ::starts counting:: ...a lot....

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks intently::  CMO: Looks like there is a variation in the T-Wave of the plasma flow at the point where the filtered plasma enters the apex of field creation....    

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Any with advanced civilization we might know about?  The Romulans seemed familiar with Zalda.  Who might we run into on our way?

CMO-Uax says:
OPS: but the question being.. is that the right flux..

OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
COMP: Computer, what is the standard T-Wave frequency of filtered warp plasma at the time of field apex insertion?

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Sensors show a lot of merchant traffic Cap'n.

FCO_Shania says:
::checks:: CO: Well, there's a system which seems to be inhabited by the Borg...

Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO: Can you intercept any communications?

Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  We'd pass through Borg space?!

TO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye Cap'n, I'll give it a go.

FCO_Shania says:
CO: Nah, just kiddin. Nothing of them as far as I can see.

Host CO_Kyrron says:
::chuckles::

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
ACTION: 6 vessels decloak around the Tal-War

Host Cmdr_t`Rrhlor says:
ACTION: The Vulcan vessels open fire on the Tal-War

TO_Hunter says:
