USS Tal-War - SD 10407.10
Host Gilles says:
"Asking for directions"
Host Gilles says:
The Captain of the scout vessel Guls, Captain Hcnerf, find the humanoids strange looking but being a scientist and an explorer has offered the Tal-War assistance. What kind of assistance he does not know... The question is... does the crew of the Tal-War know?

XO_Jameson says:
::Is sitting at her position on the bridge::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::waits with the COM channel open wondering what assistance is required::
EO_Ebadi says:
::on the bridge, virtually collapsing in excruciating stress-related agony, while trying to make sense of the sensor readings, and the diagnostics on this warp bubble phenomenon...::
XO_Jameson says:
COMM: hcnerf: We would appreciate a few favours if you would indulge us
TO_GoodShot says:
::tries to fight off a mild hangover from the night before::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Thank you for your indulgence.  I suppose we should return to the bridge.  ::stands::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War:XO: I and my crew will attempt to assist in any way we can.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I guess so.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::returns to the bridge::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::looks at the screen his antennae pointing up with interest::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the slug on the screen as she takes her seat::
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: If you would be kind enough to adjust your weapons frequency to that which I am currently sending you, and then be prepared to fire upon us on my mark
FCO_Shania says:
::follows CO and returns to helm::
TO_GoodShot says:
::notices the captain entering and looks busy::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antennae droop:: COM:Tal-War: XO: Weapons?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::looks at the droopy slug with interest::
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: You do not have weapons available?  Do you have any other attack material?
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antennae giggle from side to side:: COM:Tal-War: XO: We do not carry weapons. We are a peaceful people. 
TO_GoodShot says:
::overhears the weapons talk and eyes up the fire button::
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: If you could tell me how you would react to this scenario: You are fired upon by an attacking vessel, how would you defend yourself?
EO_Ebadi says:
:: glances up occasionally, at the screen, trying not to shudder whenever he sees the slug... he returns to his work:: Self: This warp bubble... somehow separates us from the normal space-time continuum... allowing us to slide through time with uncontrollable ease... but if we collapse the warp bubble, is there any guarantee we'll... we'll...
Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Looks like we might have to use a shuttle after all.
EO_Ebadi says:
Self: ... remain in the time frame we want, after the aftermath? ::looks up at the XO:: Self: Interesting technique...
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antennae giggle from side to side faster :: COM:Tal-War: XO: Simple... we would raise our shields and try to hide.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I'll have someone get it ready.
TO_GoodShot says:
XO: If I may Ma'am......
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::is nearly hypnotized by the quivering antennae of the slug guy::
TO_GoodShot says:
XO: If we could get them to raise their shields to full power on a frequency that would reflect our phasers I could shoot us from here.
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Do you have some way of deploying a mine?
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: enters from turbolift::
XO_Jameson says:
::Looks over at the tactical officer::  TO: The only problem with that is the risk to the guls.  We can try that only after we have exhausted other options, barring the shuttle.  we do not want to harm these people
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: My apologies for being late Captain, broken with my quarters door.
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::shivers:: COM:Tal-War: XO: No.... we do not... but like your officer over there suggested... we might be able to collide with you.... our shields are better than adequate.
EO_Ebadi says:
TO: In order to do that, I'd have to... significantly narrow the phaser beam, to minimize the diffraction... I'm not sure how focused I can get it.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: approaches station ::
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
TO: Officer, you are relieved of duty. Please take another station.
TO_GoodShot says:
CTO: Aye Ensign.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
:: takes up station ::
TO_GoodShot says:
::moves over to the EO::
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Are you saying that you are willing to take the risk to your own vessel for this plan? If so, the offer would be taken
FCO_Shania says:
::does not like the word 'collide' at all::
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir, I read the report, have the shields been lowered?
TO_GoodShot says:
EO: The narrower the better obviously.
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antennae shake very fast:: COM:Tal-War: XO: I hope our shields are strong enough.  ::looks behind him::
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::was entranced by the shaking antennae:  CTO:  Check with the TO
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
TO: ::shouts over:: Officer, shield report.
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION The Guls raise her shields. 
TO_GoodShot says:
CTO: Shields at 75%.
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: If  you would like some time to think about it, feel welcome
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: The other vessel have raised their shields
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Shields at 75% captain, shall I lower them to 10%?
EO_Ebadi says:
TO/XO/CO: Indeed. ::works to readjust the phasers:: This will take some expertise... and a little guess-work.
XO_Jameson says:
EO: I don't like the sound of guesswork.  We are not going to follow this through on guesswork.  There is too much of a risk
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Aye.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: The other vessels shields are approximately 18 times stronger than ours.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Shields lowered to 10%, reading 10% shield strength.
XO_Jameson says:
CTO: Take us to red alert
TO_GoodShot says:
EO: Increase power to structural integrity.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
XO: Aye aye, red alert.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Interesting....  see if you can analyse their technology while we're at it...
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
all: All stations red alert.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Conducting scans...
EO_Ebadi says:
TO: That is a given. ::winks:: XO: The phasers have been modified, as narrow a beam as I can get it to be, without... well, never mind that. ::smiles::
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir, technology scans are still inconclusive.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Darn.
XO_Jameson says:
::Raises her eyebrow::  EO: I understand
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antennae shake very fast:: COM:Tal-War: XO: What sort of frequency adjustments do you require?
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Current status at red, shield strength 10%
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: I need quantum adjustments. I have send the frequencies to your vessel
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::is feeling positively dizzy watching the antennae::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Hold at that.
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Holding...
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae bounce up and down:: COM:Tal-War: XO: Standing by...
XO_Jameson says:
CO: The guls are ready on your word Sir
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::gives her head a shake::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Proceed.
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Proceed when you are ready
TO_GoodShot says:
XO: structural integrity and inertial dampeners at maximum.
EO_Ebadi says:
:: watches the structural integrity field carefully, as they're about to begin...::
EO_Ebadi says:
XO: Modified phasers ready, sir.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
All:  Hold on tight.
TO_GoodShot says:
::braces on the console::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae bounce up and down:: COM:Tal-War: Ummmm.... what are you going to do?  
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::looks down at the shield modifications::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::thinks Hcnerf's question is a very good one::
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Rebound a phaser beam off of your shields onto ourselves.
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae droop:: COM:Tal-War: XO: What will happen to our vessel after these modifications?  ::looks to his tactical officer::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
EO:  Warp bubble holding?
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Your vessel, according to our calculations, will not be harmed
EO_Ebadi says:
:: looks up :: CO: Ah, no change, sir.
TO_GoodShot says:
::thinks ' calculations? I forgot those'::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae shake:: COM:Tal-War: XO: May we verify this before you begin?
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: Feel free
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae bounce from side to side:: COM:Tal-War: XO: It seems it should work like you said and your weapons will bounce off our shields.  This is the only way you have found to return to your dimension?
XO_Jameson says:
COM: hcnerf: It is the most likely
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::shivers::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::waits::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae shake:: COM:Tal-War: XO: You are all insane for attempting this... but we will assist you in your endeavour.
FCO_Shania says:
::mumbles:: Thanks for stating the obvious there....
TO_GoodShot says:
::loosens his grip on the console because he's starting to get a cramp::
EO_Ebadi says:
FCO: Not quite so obvious, perhaps. We would be more insane if we do nothing, no?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hcnerf:  All set then?
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::antennae shake:: COM:Tal-War: CO: We are ready Captain.... we send the blessing of the "Great Bird of the Galaxy" to you and your crew. "May the Great Bird of the Galaxy roost on your planet."
TO_GoodShot says:
::blinks at the screen::
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
TO: Officer, your in control of weapons.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  You know what you have to do.  Fire when ready
TO_GoodShot says:
CTO: Thank you Ensign. ::takes control of weapons and targets the shields on the Guls ship::
EO_Ebadi says:
:: watches carefully, to see if his modifications are holding, as the TO is about to fire...::
TO_GoodShot says:
all: Firing. ::pulls the trigger::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::winces::
XO_Jameson says:
::Holds the arm of the chair a little tighter::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: As the weapon's fire hits first the Guls vessel, then the Tal-War.... everyone begins to feel nauseous.
TO_GoodShot says:
::holds the console tight:::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: Both vessels begin to fade in and out.
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: The Guls disappears from the Tal-War's sensors. 
EO_Ebadi says:
::shakes his head slowly, side to side, as he tries to make sense of his readings:: CO: Sir, something is... obviously happening, we seem to be being pulled out of... well, I'm not entirely sure what's going on...
TO_GoodShot says:
::monitors structural integrity::
XO_Jameson says:
Self: Lets hope this is a good sign
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: The Tal-War appears back in its own universe. The Quantum signature matches their correct reality.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Where are we?
CTO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Officer, any idea where we are?
TO_GoodShot says:
CTO: What happened to the other ship?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Find out where we are!
XO_Jameson says:
::Looks at her sensor readings::  CO: Well, we are in our home dimension at least.
TO_GoodShot says:
CTO: None but if these readings are right then at least we're back in our own reality.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
EO:  Collapse the warp bubble.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Where is our location in space?
EO_Ebadi says:
:: checks his sensors, scanning material debris around :: CO: Yes, that's verified. Now... collapsing the warp bubble. If we emit a steady beam of anti-protons concentrated at one point in the warp bubble, it should destabilize, and knock us back out. Shall I implement that, sir?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
EO:  Go ahead
EO_Ebadi says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::makes a quick modification to the deflector... setting it to release a stream of anti-protons:: Antiprotons away, sir. ::chuckles, as he watches the screen::
TO_GoodShot says:
CO: Seems the other ship disappeared out of their universe before we did but failed to turn up here.
FCO_Shania says:
::checks charts:: CO: We appear to be 10 light-years away from Betazed
XO_Jameson says:
Self: I could go home and see mother!
Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Send a message to DS21.  Advise them of our location and give them a brief outline of what's been going on.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::contacts DS 21 and sends message::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::absolutely hates Betazoids::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::figures they could use some R&R though::
XO_Jameson says:
::Can tell from the expression on the CO's face that a break in Betazed is unlikely::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::wonders why they couldn't wind up nearer some place else, like Ferenginar::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: Your thoughts captain?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::sighs::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  We could use some repairs.  What's the nearest Federation Starbase?
TO_GoodShot says:
::looks around::
XO_Jameson says:
::Looks over to the FCO for an answer::
XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Where is the nearest Fed base?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: DS 21.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Drop to condition green.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Set course to DS21 and engage.
Host CO_Kyrron says:
All:  Well done.
XO_Jameson says:
::Smiles wryly::  CO: No Betazed then?
Host CO_Kyrron says:
::shudders::  XO:  I think not.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::sets course and engages::
Host CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  We need to have a talk.
TO_GoodShot says:
::walks toward the TL::
XO_Jameson says:
::Raises her eyebrow at the captain:: CO: If you say so Sir.
