Host ScottB says:
Last time, on ACTD: Paula Greene...

Host ScottB says:
The PG crew experienced something quite unlike anything before, as the Epiphany passed through the ship.

Host ScottB says:
Afterwards, despite resistance, the PG went into the anomaly, experiencing severe time dilation and ending up in an identified, but uncharted, system halfway across the galaxy

Host ScottB says:
Contact was made with the Epiphany, and much scientific headway was made as to what the two gravity wells were developed from.

Host ScottB says:
Now, the PG is years of travel from their entry point, coupled with another vessel that has reported to be doing these travel studies for weeks (to the distrust of some PG crew), trying to figure out whether they can go back in just as they came out...

Host ScottB says:
And now, continuation...

Host CO_Madred says:
*CTO*: Mister O'Rourke was supposed to be meeting your group there, Commander.

CTO_Ryan says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Cameron says:
FCO: Well, then, don't put your head on your console when you're ramming spatial anomalies  ::chuckles::

CTO_Ryan says:
*FCO*: Ryan to O'Rourke, please report to shuttle bay 1 for away team duty.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: I think it t'would be better not to ram the things, meself

CMO_Cameron says:
FCO: I'm with you.  But who's going to tell the Captain?  ::lets O'Rouke sit up::

CNS_Lorehani says:
::looks up from her PADD::  CTO:  Cmdr, expect some resistance from the Epiphany Capt.  I suspect on top of the stress of trying to get his crew home, the added strain of another Starfleet vessel maybe too much.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::groans:: *CTO*: Aye, be there if the Doc clears me

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
ACTION: The anomaly opens, and in a flash of light it looks like the Epiphany has jumped from one slight position to another, as if it never really left the system, but just... jumped.

Self:  Apparently, no one noticed the roll.  She's handling well.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::sighs soulfully and tries to stand, gingerly::

CTO_Ryan says:
*FCO*: If you are not feeling well, I can request a replacement pilot.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CMO: Well, I had best get down there, I guess

TO_Panthera says:
::looks at the sensors curiously:: CO: Sir the Epiphany looks like it jumped but it's still where it originally was. Outside of that there is nothing else...just what I guess you would expect.

ACEO_Elliott says:
::punches up a little more power to the primary stabilizers, and returns to the analysis::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
*CTO*: I have been cleared, on me way.

Host CO_Madred says:
TO: Okay ... send everything you have to the main science lab. Commander Tsalea can review it there.

CTO_Ryan says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Cameron says:
*CTO*: This is Doctor Cameron.  Lieutenant O'Rourke should be fine and with you momentarily.  Just don't go ramming anything.  Cameron out.  ::grins to himself as he returns to his office::

SO_Neru says:

TO_Panthera says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sends the report to the main science lab::

CTO_Ryan says:

CIV_Doile says:
::wonders when that other ship hailed us, but puts the com on speakers anyway::

CTO_Ryan says:
*CMO*: Acknowledged, Doctor, thank you.  Ryan, out.

CNS_Lorehani says:
::shrugs:: SO:  Well if he has been trying to get his crew home for weeks like he said.  The stress must be killing him now.  He is running around in circles with no way out.

CTO_Ryan says:
CNS: All the more reason for him to accept help from us.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::exits the turbolift as it reaches the right deck and heads down the corridor to the Shuttlebay ::

SO_Neru says:
::frowns:: CNS: Well, I kinda gathered that. I suppose we will end up the same... or not.

CNS_Lorehani says:
CTO:  He may not see it as help though.  He may see us as another form of interference.

Host CO_Madred says:
CIV: Mister Doile, if you've set that mapping and search course ... please engage.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% COM: Paula Greene: After-effects of the temporal phasing. We only jumped away back to Fed space for about 5 minutes, and then came back. It's too short a time span to make a difference to this area of surrounding space. From your point of view, outside of the phasing, we never left.

CIV_Doile says:
CO: I was wondering when you'd say so.  Course engaged at full impulse.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::enters the shuttle bay and looks about ::

CTO_Ryan says:
CNS: Why?  We're stuck here just like he is.  Why wouldn't he welcome our help?

CIV_Doile says:
Self: not that there’s much to map around here.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
CTO/CNS: Hello which ship are we to take?

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Epiphany: So if you are able to jump back to Federation space, why are you still here?

SO_Neru says:
::glances over as the FCO arrives::

CNS_Lorehani says:
CTO:  I'm not saying he won't, but we could be another illusion or maybe something from one of his time warps.  Who is to say we are the first federation ship to offer him help?  ::shrugs::  I won't know much or form a accurate hypothesis until I talk to the man direct.  It’s just a assumption from our first conversation from him.

CTO_Ryan says:
::hears the FCO call out.  Shouts from inside the shuttle:: FCO: In here, Mr. O'Rourke!

CNS_Lorehani says:
::pokes her head out of the shuttle::  FCO:  Here sir...

FCO_O`Rourke says:
::walks over and clambers into the shuttle , and takes his seat:: CTO: Could you get us clearance and have them open the doors? ::starts to warm everything up ::

CNS_Lorehani says:

CTO_Ryan says:
::turns to the Away Team members:: All: Arm yourselves.  Standard hand phasers and tricorders.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% COM: Paula Greene: ::said bluntly:: Because you are, Captain. Unless you feel like taking the long route back, which is perfectly fine by me. Personally, in my opinion, Starfleet can do without yet another Captain who apparently doesn't trust others' work.

CTO_Ryan says:

It's not just your standard lepton pulse, as you probably thought.

CTO_Ryan says:
@ ::activates the SRS as the shuttle glides out of the shuttle bay::

ACEO_Elliott says:

CTO_Ryan says:
@ All: I have the Epiphany on sensors.  Otherwise everything is clear.

Host CO_Madred says:
::adjusts his position in his chair:: COM: Captain LaCroix, perhaps us simple Fleet Captains don't have the breadth of knowledge necessary to understand what you science ships go through ... however, it would seem to me that if you can go back, then so can we - using the same or similar method.

ACEO_Elliott says:
::repeats himself, still speaking quietly:: *CIV*: Elliott to Doile. Please transfer helm data from the first trip through the anomaly to the Engineering station.

SO_Neru says:
@ CTO: Agreed.

CIV_Doile says:

@ ::opens a COM to the PG:: COM: PG: Ryan to PG, we are on approach to the Epiphany.  Any last minute instructions before I open a COM to them?

FCO_O`Rourke says:

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% COM: Paula Greene: You astound me, Captain, at how flat and narrow-minded you are at the dynamics of space time. You think everything's just fire a beam from a dish and everything opens up perfectly. Captain, there's a reason why we've gone through four times. The physical traveling is nothing, it's the temporal shifts.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
@ CNS: Aye

CTO_Ryan says:
@ COM: PG: CO: Aye, Sir.

CIV_Doile says:
CO: What if we went through backwards?

ACEO_Elliott says:
::wonders if it would have been swifter to have marched across the bridge and found the data himself::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
@ CNS: My idea is if it can affect cells, it may affect other things as well, stress on the Anti matter containment would not be a good thing.

Host CO_Madred says:
COM: Epiphany: I'll tell you what Captain LaCroix, I'm done talking to you until you can give me some straight answers without all this negative attitude. Paula Greene out.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% COM: Paula Greene: We'll provide the pulse dynamics... But things like your ship's energy signature, mass, everything, has to be accounted for and adjusted in the settings. Unless you enjoy being trapped in subspace as much as taking the long road home

MO_tr`Raedheol says:
% ::steps forward:: E_CO: Captain LaCroix... may I be of assistance to your medical staff?

SO_Neru says:
% ::nods as he is introduced::

CIV_Doile says:
TO: Stickler.  You're no fun.

CMO_Cameron says:
CO: Thank you, sir.

CMO_Cameron says:
::stands up, a little groggily::

CTO_Ryan says:
% CO: Ahh... we are here to lend any assistance to your staff as required, Sir.  Perhaps Mr. Nero can be of assistance with the sensor readings.  We have brought along the sensor logs from the Paula Greene.

TO_Panthera says:
CIV: I have my fun when the time is right.

Host CO_Madred says:
::follows the CMO around sickbay checking on his patients, helping him walk where needed and other times just staying out of the way::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% MO: I doubt that. The answer is more to you. You've probably found degradation already, but it's not as much of a problem as you think.

CIV_Doile says:
TO: Oh, really?  Wouldn't know it by lookin' at ya.

MO_tr`Raedheol says:
% ::frowns:: E_CO: It is not?

CNS_Lorehani says:
% ::studies the Capt closely::

CMO_Cameron says:
CO: So, was there any reason you came to see me, or did you just know I was about to knock myself dead?

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% CTO: Thank you, though we never really needed assistance. We're a fully-equipped science vessel. To be serious, I'm not even sure why Starfleet sent you out here, if only to have your Captain act godly towards me. ::snicker::

TO_Panthera says:
CIV: Excuse me? What do you know of me by looking at me?

CMO_Cameron says:
::continues scanning his patients, although no ammonia is detected in them::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
% CO: I look forwards to speaking with your FCO

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CMO: Actually, I was hoping you could lend some insight into Captain Lacroix's behavious.

MO_tr`Raedheol says:
% ::takes out his tricorder and scans the Captain not hiding his curiosity::

SO_Neru says:
% ::raises an eyebrow at LaCroix's attitude::

CNS_Lorehani says:
%E_CO: That is an interesting observation...

CMO_Cameron says:
::cocks his head::  CO: What do you mean?

CIV_Doile says:
TO: I know you're furry.  ::smiles::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% ::matter-of-factly:: MO: Not at all, not at all. Probably consistent with adding, oh, maybe about a month or two of age per trip. But that's a bit better than adding 40 years, for the travel. More bang for your buck if you ask me.

TO_Panthera says:
::shakes head and chuckles:: CIV: Well that's a good start.

CTO_Ryan says:
% ::raises an eyebrow:: CO: Since we are both in the same predicament, I am sure between both our crews we can come up with a solution.  Shall we proceed to your Bridge?

Host CO_Madred says:
CMO: Well, aside from the Counselor ... you're the most people oriented person we have aboard. I was hoping you could review Captain LaCroix's file and give your opinion of the man. I'm afraid he and I have not seen quite eye to eye so far.

CNS_Lorehani says:
% E_CO:  Capt, how long have you been trying to get back to Federation Space?

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% CTO: As you wish. Though I am curious why your relief FCO likes to test such a large vessel as a Galaxy on barrel rolls. ::shoots an odd look at the FCO:: This way... ::leads to the door::

CTO_Ryan says:
% ::turns slightly to look at the CNS as she asks a question::

CMO_Cameron says:
::looks a little confused::  CO: Well, I'll do my best.  I'm no psychiatrist, but I'll try.  I have to warn you, though, if I decide I need to have you sectioned, don't come crying to me about it  ::grins::

FCO_O`Rourke says:
% ::follows::

CIV_Doile says:
::sets the mapping course into the autopilot, leans back in his chair and sets his feet up on the side of the console::

MO_tr`Raedheol says:
% ::frowns and looks at the readings he took of Captain LaCroix::

SO_Neru says:
% ::quietly listens to the conversation and follows as they leave the shuttle bay::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% ::confused:: CNS: Pardon my misunderstanding, but we have not been trying to get back. We've BEEN back. Back and forth four times.

CNS_Lorehani says:
% ::raises her eyebrows at the CTO::

CTO_Ryan says:
% ::follows the CO:: CO: Actually, Mr. Doile is our Civilian, Sir.  He is trying to get in some flight time. ::grins::

TO_Panthera says:
::shakes head watching the CIV:: CIV: You seem to be a very laid back fellow Mr. Doile...

Host CO_Madred says:
::assumes he just doesn't get the CMO's humor and smiles slightly:: CMO: Thank you Doctor, I'd appreciate that.

CNS_Lorehani says:
% E_CO:  Are you saying this is deliberate?  Command actually approved this?

CMO_Cameron says:
::laughs out loud:: CO: Go.  I have a head to shrink.  I'll let you know if I find anything.

CIV_Doile says:
TO: ::puts his hands behind his head::  You could say that, I guess.

CTO_Ryan says:
% CO: I was under the impression you tried to get back but kept getting pushed back to this location?

CNS_Lorehani says:
% ::motions the CTO over to her.::

Host CO_Madred says:
::nods:: CMO: Thank you again, Doctor.. ::heads out of sickbay::

CMO_Cameron says:
CO: You're welcome, Captain.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% CNS: Command didn't. But the Extended Phenomena division of Starfleet Science did. We're a purely science vessel, may I remind you.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% ::motions everyone into a turbolift::

CNS_Lorehani says:
% ::whisper:: CTO:  This is another can of worms.   He is trying to prove something and he may think that Capt Madred is trying to poach on his territory.

CIV_Doile says:
::realizes that this position isn't as comfortable as it could be and reverts back to actually sitting::

MO_tr`Raedheol says:
% ::follows the group and heads into the turbolift::

SO_Neru says:
% ::enters the TL, quietly observing the Captain::

CIV_Doile says:
Self: Dang engineers probably designed the thing this way....

FCO_O`Rourke says:
% CO: Perhaps it is a misunderstanding... Maybe we were sent as a backup in case there was an emergency?

CTO_Ryan says:
%CO: Extended Phenomena Division?  I am unfamiliar with that Division of Starfleet, Sir.  What exactly do they do there?

TO_Panthera says:
::monitors the sensors and checks the data from the mapping program:: CIV: So what exactly do you do around the ship besides fill in where needed?

CNS_Lorehani says:
% ::enters the TL.::

Host CO_Madred says:
::heads back down the corridor towards the nearest turbolift::

CMO_Cameron says:
::is about to re-enter his room, when he stops, cautiously, thinks for a moment, then proceeds to another terminal in sickbay::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% FCO: Probably. The temporal phasing we didn't know about until we went through our second run. The first time around we didn't know what happened. Obviously, Command was jittery.

CTO_Ryan says:
@ ::nods to the CNS and turns back to the CO as they enter the turbolift.  Grins slightly as her eyes meet the Captain's::

CMO_Cameron says:
Computer: Relay all medical and psychological details on Captain LaCroix.

CIV_Doile says:
TO: I run several critical experiments dealing with the reproductive systems of felines.  It really will advance Federation science ten-fold.

FCO_O`Rourke says:
% CO: Maybe that is why everyone is off on a bad foot? ::grins::

TO_Panthera says:
::looks at the CIV curious:: CIV: I can only hope you are joking.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% CTO: Purely scientific observation and testing of spatial phenomena. Unstable wormholes, non-warp natural travel, etc. It's a merged division of two others, the Stellar Astrophysics and the Natural Propulsion labs, I think. I don't remember. It's been years since I've been back to Command on Earth.

Host CO_Madred says:
::steps out onto the bridge:: CIV: That will be enough, 'Doctor' Doile... ::frowns at him:: CIV: There will be no alien reproduction experiments on my ship.

SO_Neru says:
% ::smiles at O'Rourke's comment::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% FCO: Most likely.

CNS_Lorehani says:
% E_CO:  What is their interest in this part of space?

TO_Panthera says:
CO: Welcome back sir. Everything is just as it was when you left.

CIV_Doile says:
TO/CO: I WAS just joking.

CTO_Ryan says:
% CO: I see, Sir.  It has been a while for us too.  ::turns her sight to the FCO and raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Madred says:
::grunts at Doile as he retakes the center seat:: CIV: Go get your groove on elsewhere, Mister.

CIV_Doile says:
CO: You're just jealous.  ::smiles::

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% CNS: Actually, none at the moment. As you know, Starfleet just mapped JQL-21311. This oddity just perked Science's interest. We happened to be in the area, at Starbase 212.

SO_Neru says:
% ::blinks at LaCroix's explanation of divisions::

ACEO_Elliott says:
::turns, holding a PADD, to face the CO:: CO: Captain, I've been analyzing the sensor results of the pass through we made, beyond a few minor changes to the stabilizers and dampeners, I'm not sure I can promise a smoother ride.

Host E_CO_Lacroix says:
% ::the TL stops:: All: Welcome to the Bridge.

CNS_Lorehani says:
% E_CO:  But I see it fascinates you though.

Host CO_Madred says:
ACEO: Thank you Mister Elliott...
