::Reaches down and verifies the exact speed of the Triton::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::stumbles over to her seat::

CO_Winters says:
CTO: Excellent, I hope those Vulcans are more friendly this time.

XO_Keorn says:
::Doors open to the Bridge and Keorn stalks to his station::

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: Vulcans more friendly?

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods at Collingwood::  FCO: How you feeling gal?

FCO_Collingwood says:
CIV: Don't ask.

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: We should try to hide the ship somehow sir, we wouldn’t want to alter the timeline more than we did by making Terran's see a ship in this century.

CIV_Knote says:
::Chuckles:: FCO: Understand.  Heading and speed are what we were when we first entered the rift... err, the second time that is.

XO_Keorn says:
CSO: What is the progress of your work in finding a way home?

CIV_Knote says:
::Waves at Tac 2 console:: FCO: I'll just be over there.

CSO_Weaver says:
XO:  For now, all we have is the hope that our second trip through the chroniton field will produce the same route as the first.  We'll be entering the cloud in the next minute.

CIV_Knote says:
::Takes another look at the helm settings and moves to Tac 2::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::takes her seat:: CIV: So where are we?

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  Pardon me sir, but have you consider the actions of this paradox?

EO_Porter says:
:: Move over to the warp systems to start repairs.::

CTO_Hayes says:
::checks the database for ideas on how to hide the ship::

CIV_Knote says:
::Halts and returns to FCO's side:: FCO: In the time with that Vulcan ship; trying to return to that "Enterprise" time.

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  I have.  I believe the Captain has made his decision, though.

CIV_Knote says:
::Checks helm console and points:: FCO: About 1 1/2 minutes to the rift.

CO_Winters says:
CSO: Alright then. What do you think will happen if we go back through the rift?

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  And if you have any ideas on it, it would probably be a good idea to voice them in the next ::looks:: 1 minute 14 seconds.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::looks at him, only half understanding:: CIV: Uhhh... if you say so. ::doesn't have the first clue what to do about it::

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  the paradox can affect this universe

CIV_Knote says:
::Smiles:: FCO: Just keep her on this heading and speed for now.

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO: we entered with one setting, what if we reverse the settings?

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper, rift in 20 seconds.

Host Regin says:
ACTION: The ship passes through the rift...

CIV_Knote says:
::Stands to left rear of FCO's seat::

Host Regin says:
ACTION: And out the other side

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  Anti- chroniton are extremely volatile.  I would not recommend it.

CO_Winters says:
CSO: Report

OPS_Miaek says:
::starts searching for a COMM buoy::

CSO_Weaver says:
CO:  We've exited the cloud...scanning.

CTO_Hayes says:
::closes her research and checks tactical systems while passing through the rift::

XO_Keorn says:
::Looks at Long range scans to see where they are::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::still hasn't the faintest idea what's going on, just tries to keep the ship steady::

CIV_Knote says:
FCO: ::whispers:: Suggest we just hold here for now.

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: Nothing happened.  We suspected that was one possible outcome

OPS_Miaek says:
::looks back at the rest of the crew::

CTO_Hayes says:
::scans the ship::

CSO_Weaver says:
CO:  Vulcan vessel with the same identifying markings as the Sarek is within range.  We've arrived at our original point in this... ::thinks::  wherever we are.

CIV_Knote says:
::Stands with arms crossed hoping the Vulcans are more friendly this time::

XO_Keorn says:
::Looks to CO:: CO: Sir may I, I was speaking with him before

FCO_Collingwood says:
::hits the "hold position" button::

CTO_Hayes says:
XO/CO: Their weapons are still powered, sir.

CO_Winters says:
XO: By all means.

CO_Winters says:
CTO: Yellow Alert, shields up.

EO_Porter says:
:: Leave M.E. for the bridge.::

XO_Keorn says:
::Stands::  CTO: Open a channel

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: Aye! ::activates yellow alert::

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: We will power down weapons if you agree not to attempt to travel back into the rift

CO_Winters says:
CTO: Weapons down.

CIV_Knote says:
::Leans over towards FCO:: FCO: Going to Tac 2.

XO_Keorn says:
COM: Vulcan: We actually did have a result just not apparent to you.  However we cannot remain in this space and time.  It is against our regulations to do so.

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: We will attempt to help you, if we can

CIV_Knote says:
::Gets to Tac 2 and activates the console::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::uncaringly salutes the air::

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: Are you sure.... ::sees the CO`s face and obeys:: Weapons are down sir...

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: My science officer has determined that the species we do not recognize comes from star 4321, a G type star with 9 planets

XO_Keorn says:
COM: Vulcan: We will send you the data of what we have discovered.  Hopefully with us working together we can get us home and prevent a contamination of your time line

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: Glad to see you here Mr. Knote. We still have teams working on the torpedoes and shields are not at max yet but they are up.

CO_Winters says:
CSO: The rift that we came through first is it still there?

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods:: CTO: Understand ma'am.

CSO_Weaver says:
::Begins preparing a data packet for transfer::  CO:  No sir.  It closed relatively quickly...chroniton are thinning out already as well.

CO_Winters says:
CSO: Of course that would have been to easy. Can we open it again and end up in the right place?

XO_Keorn says:
COM: Vulcan: The species you have sensed is one that is very prevalent in our universe.  They are Human.

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: This information correlates with what we have.  The third planet in that system has a pre-warp society, probably forced into reverse-evolution by a nuclear disaster

CO_Winters says:
:: walks over to the CSO's station ::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::rubs her aching head, stares into the corner to the right of the viewscreen::

XO_Keorn says:
::looks to CSO:: CSO: Compare their info on Earth to ours

CO_Winters says:
:: hears what the Vulcan says :: CSO: Perfect, just perfect.

CSO_Weaver says:
CO:  That would be another step, one we hadn't taken before...I can't say at all what effect the chroniton field will have here.

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO: consistent with what we seen in the past

CSO_Weaver says:
XO:  Aye sir.  ::Runs a quick comparison::

CTO_Hayes says:
::checks the TAC repairs::

CO_Winters says:
CSO: I doubt the Vulcans do at this point as well.

CIV_Knote says:
::Keeps an eye on Ms. Collingwood; notes her rubbing her head::

CIV_Knote says:
::Frowns with concern for her.::

CO_Winters says:
FCO: How far are we currently located from earth?

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: I don't like having weapons down in a situation like that....

CSO_Weaver says:
CO:  It seems unlikely.  They're essentially as advanced as we are, however...perhaps we could enlist their assistance.

CIV_Knote says:
CTO: ::low voice:: I understand, but those guys... ::points at viewscreen:: don't seem to trust us.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::almost snaps at the captain, but holds her tongue, looks up their spatial coordinates:: CO: Uhhh... depends on what speed you're asking for, Sir 

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: I assume, then, that your people did not experience this disaster in your history?

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: Yeah... and frankly, I am not sure if I trust them... we don’t know what our actions in the past did....

CIV_Knote says:
::Winces at FCO's snappish response::

CSO_Weaver says:
XO:  Their data is perhaps consistent with the timeline we observed.  There seems to have been large-scale nuclear warfare some time in Earth's past.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Not looking for time Lieutenant, distance.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: Backup generators on line?

FCO_Collingwood says:
CO: which unit of measurement would you like?

XO_Keorn says:
COM: Vulcan: The timelines share similar events just the timing is different

CO_Winters says:
:: narrows eyes at FCO :: FCO: Standard light years would do fine.

CIV_Knote says:
::Not knowing the FCO well doesn't know if the attitude problem is genetic or from the headache::

CO_Winters says:
EO: What are the condition of the warp engines?

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV:  they are online

CO_Winters says:
:: makes a note in the back of his mind for later ::

CIV_Knote says:
::Nods at OPS and checks power supply to weapons::

EO_Porter says:
CO : Warp engines are currently at 33%. We're working on them now sir.

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: At least they have powered down weapons too

EO_Porter says:
CO : I estimate 20 minutes until they are repaired.

CO_Winters says:
EO: And the other systems?

CIV_Knote says:
CTO: Aye, and if I'm reading this correctly ::points at console:: in a slug feast we should come out on top.

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: You are right. ::puts down a PADD:: Plus, we will have Torpedoes online in an hour and full shields in two.

EO_Porter says:
CO : Torpedo launchers are offline, phasers are operational as are the shields. Impulse engines are at 100%. All other systems are at operational.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::waits to hear the unit of measurement the captain wants::

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: Any chance of being in the correct time slot if we go back through the rift?

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: But the torpedoes will be online in a hour, and full shields in two. We are still at 70% of shields.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: What is the distance from earth Commander?

EO_Porter says:
CO : We're working fast to repair the damage, but it will take some time.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::rolls her eyes:: CO: About 800-billion inches

CSO_Weaver says:
CIV:  Slim to none.  The rift we originally came through has closed.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Why don't you return to sickbay until further notice, and if the doc says you are alright, to your quarters.

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: Can we open it by emitting chroniton again?

FCO_Collingwood says:
CO: kidding sir, it's about a day and a half at max warp

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: And how would we make sure we open the correct rift?

CSO_Weaver says:
CIV:  We could use the same circumstances, again, yes.  But we have no idea of knowing where we could come out.

CIV_Knote says:
CSO: Well, sure as blue blazes we can't stay here!

CO_Winters says:
FCO: I will see you in my ready room later.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::salutes the air in the CO's direction as soon as his back is turned::

CIV_Knote says:
::Sighs and hopes the FCO's excuse is the injury she received::

CO_Winters says:
Com: Sarek: I am Captain John Winters, the things that have transpired in this time line did not happen in our correct time.

XO_Keorn says:
::Makes note to discuss proper respect to the commanding officer with Lt Cmdr Collingwood::

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: Anything wrong Mr. Knote?

CSO_Weaver says:
CIV:  Surely not...but until we figure out where we do need to go, we'll have to.

CIV_Knote says:
::Secures Tac 2 and heads toward helm with a questioning look at Winters::

CIV_Knote says:
CTO: No ma'am.

EO_Porter says:
CSO : I have all the data concerning the chroniton we emitted the first time we formed the rift. Do you think we could open another rift with that data and launch a few probes to see where they end up?

CO_Winters says:
:: gives Knote the knowing look ::

XO_Keorn says:
::Stands and moves over to FCO::

CTO_Hayes says:
CIV: Okay just checking...  ::goes back to her task::

CIV_Knote says:
::waves acknowledgement to CSO and sits at helm::

CSO_Weaver says:
EO:  That's not a bad idea...but we'll have to assume that the probes will be able to transmit from wherever they end up.

XO_Keorn says:
::Taps FCO on the shoulder::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::head begins to throb loudly in her ears::

CIV_Knote says:
::Checks the preprogrammed evasive maneuvers::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: May I use your ready room for a moment sir?

CO_Winters says:
XO: Don't leave any finger prints on the desk.

XO_Keorn says:
::nods::

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: We stand ready to help you return to your timeline, Captain, if at all possible

XO_Keorn says:
FCO: Please come with me I need to have a talk with you.

XO_Keorn says:
::Moves to CO's RR::

EO_Porter says:
CSO: True. Maybe if we sort of kept the door open by positioning a data relay buoy half in and half out of the rift. It might be able to receive data on that side and transmit it on our side.

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  I'm no science expert, but are chroniton polarized?

CO_Winters says:
Com: Sarek: To be honest we are fresh out of ideas. The only thing is we don't know if we are in our time line or a parallel time line. For all we know, that nuclear explosion might be the correct happenings here.

XO_Keorn says:
::Stands at the door waiting for the FCO::

CIV_Knote says:
::Looks for Federation navigational buoys; gets no response::

FCO_Collingwood says:
::faintly hears a commanding voice speaking to her, head spinning::

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Uh, Skipper, there are no Federation navigational buoys out there.

CSO_Weaver says:
EO:  That's not a bad idea.  I'll relay it to the Captain, and the Vulcans.  Perhaps we can turn this into something.  Good work.

CIV_Knote says:
::Tries to read the reports he's receiving::

CO_Winters says:
Com: Sarek: How long ago did you detect that nuclear explosion?

CSO_Weaver says:
EO:  Lay out an initial plan in case we find this is plausible.

CO_Winters says:
CIV: It appears things are not in order. The big question, did we cause all of this.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Most of them are Vulcan... but using old codes.

XO_Keorn says:
::Taps his foot impatiently::

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: I scanned the Vulcan ship quickly... there are traces of Bajoran and Andorian tech on the ship....

EO_Porter says:
CSO : Thank you. I'll get right on that.

FCO_Collingwood says:
::feels a darkness flooding into her head, rendering her unconscious, she falls sideways out of her chair and onto the floor::

CO_Winters says:
:: takes notes of what is being reported to him ::

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: The radioactive decay indicates that the first nuclear explosions occurred approximately 500 years ago

XO_Keorn says:
*SB* Medical team to the bridge

CO_Winters says:
:: great :: OPS: Beam her to sickbay please.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper, Earth is about 50 light years over there... ::waves to port::

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: Aye Sir! :: begins emergency transporting to SB::

CO_Winters says:
Com: Sarek: So we are in the same time line as that earth, but are we in our timeline. Do you have any previous history of earth prior to the explosion?

XO_Keorn says:
::Walks over to FCO and checks vitals.  Everything is ok as far as Keorn could tell::

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: Our survey teams found quite a bit of information, though the people still remaining have destroyed most of what remains

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  I'm no science expert, but are chroniton polarized?

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: Sir... I don’t see human technology as we know it on the Vulcan ship....

XO_Keorn says:
::after FCO beamed out Keorn walks to CO::  CO: I believe that a letter of reprimand for the FCO's behavior is warranted ::Briefly explains what he saw and heard::

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  Yes.

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  what if we de-polarize the field

CO_Winters says:
XO: Indeed, I will need to check with the doctor first to see if this is a medical condition :: frowns :: If not she is in trouble.

CO_Winters says:
Comm: Sarek: Could you transfer the data you have so we can determine where we are?

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Skipper, checked the communication network; nothing coming from Earth.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: Captain, permission to go to holodeck 1 to try some simulations

Host VS_Sarek says:
COM: Triton: Transferring now

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  I don't know.  chroniton fields are very unpredictable.  Mild radiation...probably just end up with a cloud of floating particles.

CIV_Knote says:
OPS: You getting anything?

CO_Winters says:
Civ: To be expected I guess. That explosion would have set Earth back a long way.

OPS_Miaek says:
CIV: receiving data transfer now

CTO_Hayes says:
::keeps a close eye on scanners and on the tactical status::

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Lets wait, we may need your help here to figure out where we are.

CIV_Knote says:
::Wishes he had taken some more science courses with that correspondence course::

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  If I can get to HD 1 I could run the test there

EO_Porter says:
CO : Warp engines are back online.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: Understood sir, but I have an idea on how to get us back to our universe

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  True.  There are a myriad of variables, though...it would be difficult to set up a simulation and get an accurate result.

CO_Winters says:
EO: Excellent Mr. Porter as usual.

CIV_Knote says:
::Muses:: Aloud: So, no Earth, no Federation...

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Have you finished receiving the data from the Vulcan vessel yet?

CO_Winters says:
Civ: No Us...

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  Not if we based our calculation on the exact opposite of the previous flied

CIV_Knote says:
Self: Guess I won't be getting paid for those articles I submitted.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: data received

OPS_Miaek says:
CO:  The data confirms everything we have learned already

CO_Winters says:
CSO, OPS: Can we reliably open a new chroniton rift to return us to our proper timeline?

CIV_Knote says:
CO: So we get to start the Federation?  ::Eyes wide::

CSO_Weaver says:
::Nods::  OPS:  I'm still skeptical...but anything is worth a try at this point, I suppose.  We might want things by the Vulcans, first.

CIV_Knote says:
::Mutters:: Self: Now THAT would be an article.

CTO_Hayes says:
CO: Opening a new rift is possible but there is no assurance we would end up in the proper rift.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO:  Sir, I have an idea

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Speak your mind.

CIV_Knote says:
CO: Sir, have the exact coordinates of the last rift.  If we're going to do this I think we should open it in the same spot.

CSO_Weaver says:
::Waits for Miaek to speak his mind before addressing the Captain;  turns to his station and starts looking at the properties of the first two chroniton rifts, comparatively::

OPS_Miaek says:
CO:  the CSO agrees that we can depolarize the chroniton and make the settings opposite to the exact number as the previous field, that could lead us home

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: we created the exact field, which lead us to the past

XO_Keorn says:
CO: I concur that we should do this soon and in the same spot with the same levels as the fist crossing.  Or as close as we can get.

CIV_Knote says:
::Sends the coordinates to OPS and CSO.

CSO_Weaver says:
::Quickly inserts his opinion::  CO:  It's very touch and go, though.  There's no certain way to know where we might end up, if we were to try again.  After all, a duplicate field led us to this plane, both times.  An opposite field may have a completely unpredictable effect.

OPS_Miaek says:
CSO:  what would be the opposite of the coordinates?

CO_Winters says:
Ops: It appears that we are in the same timeline, the only thing is there was an explosion on the Enterprise. It comes to figure that somewhere along the way this explosion wasn't suppose to happen. After all, the Enterprise 1701 is named after her and we have no record of it ever happening.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: but sir you are looking past the paradox

CO_Winters says:
All: I think we need to concentrate on fixing the damage we have done.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: we entered this timeline with the present conditions

CSO_Weaver says:
OPS:  Calculating.  ::Turns to his panel, send the requested data to the OPS console::

OPS_Miaek says:
CO:  for us to have damaged the timeline, we would have had to have been here before

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Not sure of your logic there. We went back into time before the explosion.. Our presence should have done one of two things. Stopped the explosion or caused it. One of the two has to happen.

CSO_Weaver says:
::Feels his head start to spin...closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to collect himself::

CIV_Knote says:
::Decides to be quiet and just let the experts figure it out.::

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: not true, when we first arrived, this timeline exists with the same as when we reappeared from the past

CSO_Weaver says:
CO:  Mr. Porter had an idea earlier.  Perhaps we could prepare the rift again, and allow a probe to enter halfway, as a communication link...and send another probe through.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: whose to say if we repair the damage to the past, that it would change the future of the Vulcans

CO_Winters says:
All: We have to find a way to stop that explosion.

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Because, we would have repaired it before our meeting with the Vulcans

XO_Keorn says:
CO: So we have to go back to the Earth we just left?

CO_Winters says:
Ops: Confusing isn't it.

CO_Winters says:
XO: If we can get back there yes.

OPS_Miaek says:
CO: but what if we didn't fix it

CIV_Knote says:
::Leans back and waits for someone to make a decision::

CO_Winters says:
XO: Prepare the ship to return.

CO_Winters says:
Com: Sarek: We will return to stop the explosion in the past.

XO_Keorn says:
CO: Aye sir  ::Begins sending orders to prepare the ship::
