Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: So I've been reviewing their history and what other unencrypted traffic I could pick up in this time, so far I've come up with the following:
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Our earlier history looks similar to what we know but we ended up winning a few more fights in the process. We never had a peace deal with the Klingons and fought them to the last warrior. After several years the few remaining Klingons were absorbed into the Federation defensive forces. In the meantime the Cardassian and Romulan empires expanded along with our own.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: The Cardassians sent a diplomatic envoy to Romulus where three members of the Romulan High Council got assassinated, diplomatic envoy was executed and the Romulans declared war on the Cardassians.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: The Cardassians reached out to us for help during the war but as they had occupied Bajor we stayed neutral. The Romulans kept on the offensive and weakened the Cardassians enough that they withdrew from Bajor, once that happened some back room treaty kicked in and they became a protectorate member of the Federation.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: We then closed in on the Romulans and shrunk their empire to a 10th of its original size, we then reached an uneasy peace deal with them, where the Romulans demilitarized, we formed a Romulan neutral zone and have a large fleet sitting on our side of it. We then formed division 15 to supervise the Cardassians in their various reformed to become secondary members of the Federation.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: 15 years ago we began to explore what was Caeal space, anyone who entered never returned and any attempts at making first contact failed. Divisions 23 and 31 employed newly developed subspace weapons which effectively EMP'd almost the entire sector. We rolled in and found we had forced them back to the stone age. We made them tertiary members and supplied them humanitarian aid.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: The Breen now pop up after making friends with the Vroa about 5 years ago where they then started an offensive against us. We responded with all forces, in the meantime a contingent of Division 23 and 31 forces were sent into the heart of Vroa space where we deployed a weapon which disrupted all matter at a subatomic level effectively leveling their space entirely. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Our combined fleet tore the Breen apart leading to a very impressive victory on our side without their Vroa re-enforcements.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::listens carefully to the XOs monologue, thinking it'll be too much to remember::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at the revised history::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: There a few details left out from that but that is the overall high level summary, I'll pass out the full report at the end of the briefing.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Where does that put us?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods at the XO with a raised eyebrow then nods slightly.::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
All: Forgive my bluntness but rather than re-learn history, perhaps we should go about setting it right again instead.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: How are our patients?
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: I rather like this version of history if I'm honest.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::raises an eyebrow in surprise at the XO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Still lost for the time being but I'm interested in what Division 23 and 31 are up to and what tech they have up their sleeves.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Do we have any idea what brought us here or how we get back to our own version of reality?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: My patients are both still unconscious the last time I checked.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: At this point no I don't have a hypothesis on how we got here, no sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CSO: Rough idea then? We can't just sit around here waiting for something to happen.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
CSO/XO: Or indeed whether we got anywhere at all, or whether time changed around us.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Smirks a bit while reading the history.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: I need you to "hide" this ship from their long range sensors, their Cataria is somewhere near what was Cardassian space, if our transponder beacon shows up they may come asking questions.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: Commander, our visiting Captain had something to do with it. What I'm not sure she did, but it has to do with the device in her hand at the time.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: Will do. The magnetic field of some large nearby body should do the trick.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: Go figure out what it does, temporal rules be damned for now.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::looks to Lt Ivara:: CSO: Lieutenant, you're with me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: Given you know your paperwork, see if you can track down the logistics of what Divisions 23 or 31 are doing these days. I'd like to borrow some of their toys if at all possible.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: Yes sir, I'll see what I can do.
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: All due respect sir, the longer I sit here, the longer it will take for me to form a hypothesis of what brought us here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: And those divisions have weapons that would be very nice to get our hands on given our recent Vroa problem. Work with OPS to see if we can get our hands on any
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::points at the CNS:: CSO: Hence why you are going with Varesh to look at their temporal toys?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pushes his chair back:: XO: Then we had to get going.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Anyone got any questions for now?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
XO: I will look, but honestly it may be simpler just to ask.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: Aye, with pleasure. ::Readies herself to "hide" the ship.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CSO: We can ask, I just want to scan the device first.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
XO: I'm not too sure I'm comfortable with the idea that we aren't in full control of what we do here.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
OPS: We're in fully control of what we do just not everything happening around us
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: I've found a suitable place to hide. A gas giant 'bout 5 minutes from here. We need to drop out of warp.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::disagrees strongly with the XO, but decides that a cadet shouldn't argue with a commander::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CTO: Do it
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
All: Alright, you know what you have to do. Anything else comes up you know where to find me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::gets up from the conference table::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::gets up to leave::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: On my way. ::stands up from the table and heads to the CONN.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Gets up from his chair:: CSO: I'll meet you in your lab, I'll get the device from my office.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::walks back onto the bridge and heads to the operations console::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::starts making his way towards sickbay:: CNS: I'm going to see if Raile is awake and see what she can tell us about this.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: She shouldn't be awake, but I'll wake her up so you can chat.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
CNS: And have a way to knock her out again just in case we have a repeat.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: XO: But of course, sir. ::leads the way out of the room::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::nods:: CNS: Deck Six. I'll see you there.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::steps into the TL:: TL: Sickbay
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::gets to work::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Takes the Conn::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::heads to the turbolift and orders it to deck six.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Slides out from the JT and stands in the empty corridor.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: I'll give you a hypospray with something to knock her out and she is restrained with medical forcefields.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Stands behind Cmdr. Davis.:: SOPS: Drop out of warp and head to these coordinates.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::nods at CNS::
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Pauses...but eventually makes the change in flight plan and brings the Cataria out of warp, setting the new heading::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Load McQuade One and stand by. Verify all personnel are clear of deck 14 section 112.3.
Computer says:
CEO: Program loaded and on standby for final authorization.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::leads the way out the TL:: XO: I'll keep you updated on our progress. ::enters sickbay and heads for his office to get the device and to load a hypospray for the XO::
MO_Raas says:
::Looks up at Varesh enters:: CNS: Doctor. ::Sees Conor as well:: XO: Commander. ::Looks behind her a minute, then back:: The Ferengi, Lot, woke up. Captain Knight had him taken to the brig for questioning.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Takes his tricorder and places it in the middle of the corridor.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
MO: Assist the Commander. We're bringing Captain Raile out of her sleep for some questions.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Vroa Security Alpha One. ::Takes a step back to the protective mat.::
MO_Raas says:
::Nods:: CNS: Yes Sir. ::Moves to the isolation area of sickbay, pausing outside the protective forcefield area that surrounds the biobed there::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::starts making some progress but wonders if she'll undo her own work without noticing it::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
SOPS: When we arrive, assume a low orbit in the upper ionosphere. We'll use it and the magnetic field of the gas giant to effectively hide the Cataria.

ACTION:
Emergency Halons activate through deck 14 section 112.3 dispensing a fine powered mist.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hands the hypospray to the XO:: Computer: Computer, drop the forcefield. ::goes over to the biobed after the field dropped, picking up one of the hyposprays and programming it::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Covers his mouth as the dust goes everywhere.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::steps off the lift and heads to the nearest inactive lab wishing for a full science team::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::takes the hypo::

ACTION:
The forcefield drops in sickbay.

CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Vroa Security Alpha 2.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::Stands near with Raile with hypo in hand::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::injects Raile:: XO: She'll come around just now. Raas will assist you if she becomes unruly. ::nods to Raas at that:: I'll be in the lab.
MO_Raas says:
::Nods, and moves into position at one side of the biobed::

ACTION:
Electricity arcs through the decking.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks over his shoulder as he leaves sickbay before heading to the TL, ordering it to deck 6 when he enters::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::accesses the mainframe database for ships in the fleet::
Host Capt_Raile says:
::Slowly regains consciousness, blinking a few times as she does::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Looks at the PADD as the tricorder records the charge before burning out.::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::pauses at the entrance to the lab:: *CEO* The captain has approved the defensive measures that I suggested.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::soon finds the low level access has no mention of Division 21 and 31, and attempts to crack level 2::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Taps his badge.::  *CSO*: Noted I'll add it to the wish list.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*CSO*: Lt, which lab are you in?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::enters the lab and begins configuring it for temporal science scans:: *CSO* Lab Four.  *CEO* Understood, thank you.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Vroa Security Alpha 3.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Raile: Morning sleepyhead.
Host Capt_Raile says:
::Draws a deep breath, attempting to flex her muscles slightly, and finds that they don't actually do so:: XO: G'morning. Nice restraining field.

ACTION:
ACTION: Forcefields drop in place and evacuate the breathable air within a matter of seconds.

Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Raile: Nice trick you pulled, care to explain where you brought us to?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Continues to watch the readings.::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Shut down all Vroa Security Measures. Set McQuade One to standby.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::exits the TL:: *CSO*: I'll be there in a minute. ::pauses a moment to get his bearings and heads down the corridor to lab four.::
Computer says:
CEO: McQuade one on standby all Vroa Security commands are offline.
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::accesses level 2 and finds mention of the divisions - Division 23 reports to 31 which is tasked with protection of the Federation. Keeps digging::
Host Capt_Raile says:
::Flexes her jaw a moment, as that's about the only thing she can move right now, before answering, her voice calm but with an obvious tense edge to it:: XO: Where "I" brought us? You do mean, how I kept you and your ship from vanishing into the sands of time like so much dust in the wind, don't you?
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::slides some of the planetary science scanners back into their alcoves and pulls out the temporal scanners, she starts a download of the temporal handbook to a convenient PADD.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::enters lab four:: Computer: Set maximum access restriction on this laboratory. Authorization Varesh Alpha Two Six Omega.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
::Kneels down touching the decking with his finger quickly.::  Self: Da...  ::Puts his finger in his mouth quickly to stop the burn as he stands::  ::Tapping his badge.:: *Engineering*: What's the decking temperature on Deck 14 section 112.3?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to Ivara:: CSO: And here is what I think brought us here. ::hands over the device which so easily fit in the palm of hand::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::she pauses as the CNS enters and heads over to the replicator:: Replicator: Water, one glass, chilled.  ::She pauses and pulls two white pills from a little pouch in her pocket and downs them with the water.::
Engineering says:
*CEO*: 175C sir. Little hotter than we planned.
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Raile: There any many ways of looking at this situation. You did start messing with people's minds to get your own way
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::continues scouring the database for information::
CSO_LtJg_Ivara says:
::looks at the device and sets it on the scanner plate:: CNS: Thank you. ::promptly ignores him and begins working with the scanners::
Host Capt_Raile says:
XO: And I failed, and now we're here. Congratulations. ::Tinged with both bitterness and imperiousness, as she's still processing the failure::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Raile: Good, so where is here then?
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
*Engineering*: Yeah I'd say. ::Looks over the PADD.:: Results look good. Voltages are within tolerances. All three security settings ran well.
Host Capt_Raile says:
XO: You tell me.   ::She looks up at Powers and, for a fleeting but very real moment, he feels a pressure on his mind::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
*Engineering*: Have a team come down here and replace the carpet in the corridor.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::leans back against one of the consoles and watches Ivara work::
Engineering says:
*CEO*: Aye sir.  They will be down there in about 20 minutes.
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
*Engineering*: Excellent McQuade out. ::Taps his badge closing the comm.::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
XO: We're hidden, sir. SOPS: My compliments, sir.
Host Capt_Raile says:
::After a moment, it passes:: XO: I see... ::Clearly lost in thought::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
::tries block Raile:: Raile: It's rude to do that you know.
SOPS_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Just looks at Thorson a moment, then back to the computer::
CEO_LtJG_McQuade says:
Computer: Drop temperature on deck 14 section 112.3 to 10C for 15 minutes.

ACTION says:
Cataria is now hidden from scanners by the magnetic field of a gas giant.

OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::lost in paperwork and database entries trying to garner relevant information::
Computer says:
CEO: Temperature now set at 10C for 15 minutes.
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Turns off the transponder from the command console by the Captain's chair.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Conor says:
Raile: So now you're done poking through my mind, where are we and what exactly did you do and how do we get back?
Host Capt_Raile says:
::Shakes her head a moment:: Softly, aloud: ...I should've known...
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::accesses level 3 but may have tripped some alarms in the process::
CTO_Ens_Thorson says:
::Stands in the center of the Bridge.::
OPS_Cdt_Inaji says:
::decides not to try and access level 4 in order not to set off more alarms::
