Host ACTD John Sea says:
	Resume USS Andromeda "Timewalker" 10512.04

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::at her station looking around and wondering what’s to come next::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Scene: When last we left our heroes and heroine, they had just encountered Admiral Starborne: a life size nanite.

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: You said something about time streams. Can you elaborate?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	::numerous gizmos clicking and whirring about ::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::listens intently, wondering. Gives up on the scannings though::

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::At the helm console::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: We believe there is a temporal anomaly which attracted our scientists’ attention on a planet quite some distance from your borders

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	Self: more temporal cops?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: It is an uncharted planet and home to what we believe to be an ancient civilization which thrived many millions of years ago

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: We witnessed an unprovoked act of terror against one of our starbases. Does that have something to do with this anomaly?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: There appears to be a pattern of chaotic activity, which unlike a traditional "time cop" gambit of one species attempting to gain domination, this attempt aims at total destruction

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::tries to dissect that last statement::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Trying to make sense of it all::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: I suggest we begin our investigation at Phobos One in the Delta Quadrant

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	Admiral: If I may...who is destroying who....?

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: I am not familiar with the world of temporal anomalies so anything that involves time travel is "unusual" to me.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	Self: we?

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CEO: With our current status, how long does it take for us to reach Phobos One?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: If you imagine the time stream as a flowing river then someone is trying to make the river run dry as opposed to diverting it to a different direction

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CO: If it’s in the delta quadrant, I suspect it won't be quickly.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CO: At maximum warp, I'd say about 1000 years

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CEO: So warping there is not an option.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::still rather confused even though she knows her share of temporal dynamics::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: We have outfitted your engines with a wormhole jump drive for our convenience for the duration of the mission of course

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Starts to get worried about the development of the situation::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Raises an eyebrow::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: I see. CEO: Can you operate the wormhole jump drive?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CO: I'd have to do some serious reading into it, but I can't see a reason why not

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CEO: Good. Take a course to Phobos One and once you are ready, engage.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::approaches the CO and whispers:: CO: I apologize for questioning your reasoning but sir ... are you certain we can trust this ... Admiral?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: Spacefolding is fun, when your people develop it we will have some serious fun together

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: I believe we will, indeed. ::Not quite sure how well technological advancement and common sense go together::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Pulls up to his console::
All: Setting co-ordinates to Phobos one, engaging wormhole drive ::presses the big red space fold button::
Self: I think stealing a Borg transwarp conduit is a lot safer then this...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Action: The main viewer becomes a vision of Technicolor as space folds in on itself using a micro black hole in the drives to warp the fabric of linear space, the Andromeda passes through the wormhole and emerges in the Delta Quadrant, far from home

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::looks out at the viewscreen, registering every moment of the jump::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Scene: The Phobos Star System never before seen by a species of Federation birth, a system of 4 planets, each class M, and a white hole on the far side, there are ruins of Egyptian Pyramid design on the first planet

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CEO: Check all systems and report our status.

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CSO: Confirm our location and scan the system for life signs and spacefaring ships.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CO: Checking..

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CTO: Scan the planets for any defence instalments.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	All: The planets are in perfect mathematical alignment with the white hole, all equidistant from it at a distance of 1 Astronomical Unit or 93 million miles

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CO: Its confirmed sir. according to the map we were given this is the Phobos system. Composed of 4 planets, each class M and a white hole

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Scans the nearby space and the planet's surface for any threats::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CO: Its rather amazing, the planets are organized at 1 AU from the white hole...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Scene: Local tactical scans reveal no life forms on any planets or vessels in the area. The system is a binary star system consisting of 2 yellow suns

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Scene: The planets appear to be in exact geometrical alignment with the white hole which is highly unusual

CTO Commander Senek says:
	CO: Our vicinity seems to be entirely clear from any life forms or vessels.

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CTO: Good.

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CSO: This system looks... artificial. Make an analysis of how this system formed and how it's kept together.

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CO: Other then putting a couple of million miles on the clock, the ship is in perfect working order

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CEO: Excellent.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::nods and runs more scans::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CSO: Is the alignment of the planets a cosmological occurrence, or are they always aligned like that?

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CSO: I have to say, these engines are very cool, they use three dimensional envelope of tachyons for something which I don't understand yet.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CEO: Quite amazing indeed

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	CSO: Just think about it, we could go *anywhere* in the blink of a eye

CTO Commander Senek says:
	Starborne: So here we are. What are we looking for?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CO: The planets are natural, but each has an engine of some sort. To keep it in place

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CEO: I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard you.
Is this technology compatible with Starfleet? Could you "copy" it?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CTO: I suggest we begin our investigation with the first world where the ruins are, I don’t have any more information, which is why I sought you out

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Nods with some disappointment:: Admiral: I see.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	XO: We will of course delete the technology until you create it naturally to preserve balance of power in your quadrant, our own Prime Directive

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CSO: There must be a reason why they are kept in place.

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::shrugs:: CO: art? There is also a pyramid on the first planet. Much like ancient Egyptian pyramids

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	XO: I couldn't even understand how they get the tachyons to fold like this so it could be quite a while before we could build our on model

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	Admiral: Oh, I see... Quite understandable, Sir. ::doesn't look happy::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CSO: Is the environment surrounding the pyramid suitable for an away team?

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	CO: Yes sir, all planets are class M~

CO Captain Sketek says:
	CSO: Good.
XO: I think we should send an away team to the planet to analyze the ruins. Do you agree?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CO: I do, Captain. Are we all going?

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CEO: Someday we will, Conor.

CO Captain Sketek says:
	XO: I think it's best if we all go.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CO: Very well. I'll get my gear. 
All: You heard the Captain, make your preparations to go; don't forget to call in junior officers to secure your stations.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	::heads to the transporters room in good spirits, genuinely enjoying the company of the Federation organic lifeforms, whistles to himself::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	::Leaves the bridge and takes a turbo lift to TR1::

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Follows CO to the TL::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Follows the CTO::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::follows carrying only her tricorder::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	::puffs on a metallic cigar, which leaves numbers as smoke::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	::gets his tricorder, phaser and klingon Bathleh'::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	::enters the TL and orders it to go to TR1::

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	::nothing like a good alphanumeric puff::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	::Arrives at the TR1::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	::Takes a phaser and a tricorder::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	::enters TR1 and sees the CO:: CO: I'm ready to go, Sir.

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	::waiting on transporter padd puffing on his cigar as visible numbers and equations puff out of the end of cigar *puff* (1, 5, 7, 8x5, E=mc2)

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Takes a phaser rifle off the rack and puts a tricorder on his belt and then steps up on the padd::

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	::looks amazed at the cigar::

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Raises his eyebrow while equipping himself with the standard phaser and tricorder::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	All: Standard away team equipment.

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CSO: Laenna, would you like a smoke?

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CSO: Nothing like a nanite cigar *puff* *5xE, 6, 7, cosine, area =pie xR2

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	::Looks slightly out of place and then replaces the phaser rifle with a hand held phaser::

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	All: Sorry...

CSO Lieutenant JG Saprin says:
	XO: I do not think so. But its rather ... amazing

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	CSO: Indeed! I wonder what he drinks...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	All: Nanite binary beer, good to the last bit

CO Captain Sketek says:
	All: Everyone step to the pad. Molecules: You have the coordinates. Energize.

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Prepares to beam down::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	Admiral: I'll take your word for it, Sir...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	<Molecules>All: Shake , rattle and roll, hee hee hee hee ::nervous twitch:: hee

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	Self: Oh God...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	Action: The away team arrives on the planet in one piece despite Molecules, a bit dizzy because Molecules not quite right in the head

CEO Lieutenant Conor says:
	Self: Seem to be in one piece...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
	CO: About your Transporter Chief, the man has issues.....

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Thinks of replacing the transporter operator for a while::

CO Captain Sketek says:
	Starborne: No worries. He's always been like that.

CTO Commander Senek says:
	::Agrees quietly with Starborne::

XO Commander Z’heta says:
	Starborne: I worry too, Sir...

Host Admiral Starborne says:
