Host CO_Worthington says:
Captain's Log Stardate 10803.16 The Cherokee is docked at Starbase 33 as the crew meets with Admiral Alexander concerning our last mission. Who knows what ramifications lie ahead for us?

Host SM-Trish says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Sitting in Admiral's Office, reaching for a PADD.::

Host Admiral Alexander says:
CO:  Now, tell me again about this Caitian ship you rescued?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::sitting in the Admiral Office::

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO/ Adm: Might not be a good idea to answer that.

Host CO_Worthington says:
Adm: Two Caits, man and wife. They are merchants selling grains and other valuables. They lost engine power and we went in to rescue.

Host Admiral Alexander says:
::turns to look at Tio::

CNS_Wells says:
::Listening to the Admiral and watching the other trying to explain the unexplainable::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Does a search on PADD for Dominion and Battle of Cardassia.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::sits back in her seat, waiting to hear what else the Admiral has to say::

CIV_Ayidee says:
Adm: We may have more of a situation that you think.  If so, the less you know the better.

Host SM-Trish says:
ALL:  And no one thought to inform Starbase 33 of the diversion in your orders?

CNS_Wells says:
::Thinks he knows what CIV is getting at::

Host CO_Worthington says:
Adm: What diversion Admiral?  We were ordered to respond to a distress call and we did so. Unfortunately. after we arrived we were in the past. There was not enough time to contact the Starbase.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::looks over at CIV, then the CO::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Looks at the PADD.::  CO: Sir, I really think we should stop.  Now, before another word is said.

Host Admiral Alexander says:
CO:  Who ordered you?  I certainly didn't and there are no records that show anyone on the base did.  ::begins to look at her crew suspiciously::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Sir, do you find it odd the Admiral doesn't remember our orders?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::rubs her temples feeling a headache coming on::

Host CO_Worthington says:
Adm: You are right Admiral. I must be confused by the time displacement, nothing I say can be taken seriously. Perhaps I should head to Sickbay.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::beginning to get a bad feeling about this,  oh how she wishes to be with her twins, she lets her mind drift off to them::

Host Admiral Alexander says:
CO:  Perhaps you should.  Take your crew with you.  I have to try and deal with that man in my outer office.  ::shakes her head is dismay::  Dismissed.
::walking to her door, she watches her crew leave one by one::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::stands up:: ALL: Crew, follow me.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::stands and follows the CO::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Accesses Cardassian History, finding more and more problems.::  CO: No sir, we need to cut off contact with this reality.  Whether from our actions or from a twist in Quantum Reality, things are not as we recall them.  To preserve whatever is "right", we need to be very careful.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::follows the CO::

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows others::
CIV/CO: I was just going to ask her for a time out. ::Smiles::

Host CO_Worthington says:
CIV: Agreed. We must return to the ship now. 
CNS: Get everyone to the ship ASAP.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Hands him the PADD.::  CO: We have major problems.  As soon as you can, look this over.

CNS_Wells says:
All: You heard the man, let's go.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::follows everyone to the ship::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::takes the PADD and scans it:: CIV: How in the heck?

Host Admiral Alexander says:
::ushers the Cardassian into her office.  She knows this is going to be a long day::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*Computer*: Lock down all transfers, personnel or information, from the USS Cherokee to any other source.  Captain will confirm order ASAP.  ::Looks to Captain.:: 
CO: No idea.

ACTION:  The information on the PADD reveals that Cardassia never invaded Bajor.  Bajor invaded Cardassia.  There was never a Dominion war.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::heads for the Cherokee::

Host CO_Worthington says:
*Computer*: Order confirmed, Worthington Beta Zeta Alpha.

CNS_Wells says:
::On his way to Cherokee with others:: OPS/CEO: I think we dialed a wrong number, ladies.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  It seems so.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Hope I'm not overstepping my authority, but sometimes, you have to move quickly.  I apologize for not confirming your agreement first.

Host CO_Worthington says:
::passes through the airlock:: CIV: Let's get out of here now. We can worry about protocol later.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CNS: Indeed, and I don't like whoever it is that answered our call.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO/OPS: Out of the frying pan and into the fire.  I suggest we all head for the bridge.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Nods in agreement, following the others::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::follows::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: We should figure a way to keep outsiders out.  We can't let no one discover we aren't their Cherokee.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CIV: Can we use the Caitian vessel to recreate the anomaly?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Agreed.

CNS_Wells says:
CEO: I think you should see to that Borg thing, we may be needing it again.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: That is our best shot.  Will need to carefully examine the sensor readings, find out if it was more than a Temporal jump.  Quantum jump, dimensional jump, something else might have happened.

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads for bridge::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
CNS: I think you just may be right.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CIV: I want you to head up that team. Get the shuttle ready as quick as you can. I am going to get us out of here.
::enters the TL for the bridge::

CNS_Wells says:
::Arrives on bridge and immediately checks to see if the Cait's are secure in their quarters::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Veers off from the others making her way to the deflector dish controls, and the chronoton displacement device::  Self: More like reality displacement device.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye sir, I'll start in Astrometrics, the analytical systems are better there for this kind of work than anywhere else.

ACTION:  The Caits are not in their quarters.  They have decided to do a little sight seeing.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sends a memo to Doctor Monroe in Sickbay, put them on alert::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Heads to Astrometrics and begins an analysis of the Rift's Quantum Signature to see if this is our world.  Also scans the signature of local space to compare.::

CNS_Wells says:
Self: Oh, no.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Ensign, prepare to create a false warp core breach, on my order.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: We got a problem.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  What?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CO*: Aye sir.  ::alters her course heading for main engineering::

Host CO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: The Cait's are gone.  See if you can find them. We gotta get them back.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*Ens Fixzit*: Fixzit, we need to create a false warp core breach, start preparing I will explain it all when I get there.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  The Cait's are not on the ship?  How did that happen?

CNS_Wells says:
::Alerts security to begin a discrete search for the Cait's::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: I dunno, I can't imagine parents wanting to take four newborns anywhere.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Captain, I've just been informed by our esteemed Counselor  that our guests are not on the ship.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: Prepare the ship for departure. Be discreet.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Sir, the Cait's have flown the coop, or whatever they do. We are looking for them.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::enters main engineering::   Ens Fixzit:  How are things going?

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Prepare for departure, Ensign.

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS/OPS: Get them back here now. Find them on sensors and transport them back to the ship.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Gets on the bridge. Bit behind the others, as he needed a small refreshment.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
<Ens Fixzit> CEO: Everything is ready to go on your order.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.  ::looks to sensors in hopes of finding the Cait family of 6::

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: I think we have a different problem than we thought.  We may have jumped Quantum realities instead of time lines.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Be discrete Ensign. 

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Passes the counselor.:: CNS: Ok, will do, but what is up?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Ens Fixzit: Quick work there Fixzit, now  we are just waiting on the CO's order actually.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: What leads you to that conclusion?

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: We are not where we want to be.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::sees something on the sensors::  ALL:  Um, the kittens are in their quarters as to their parents, unknown.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Frowns eyebrows.:: CNS: Huh? You mean uhm, Ah that is it.  Alternate universe? Is that what you think?::

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: And better than explain it to the folks here its best to leave, as per the Captain's orders, anyway.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Quantum analysis of local space, as well as of the rift.  There are subtle quantum spin differences.  Could be due to signal recording problems with the rift, but since the station says so also, I think that's the point.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::paces about in engineering wondering what is going on and why they aren't getting out of there yet::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: What? Not even a babysitter? 

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: Can we recreate the anomaly, will that get us to our proper universe?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Hold on, got a hunch.  I believe they could be in their ship, after all they want reimbursements for them goods.  So that would mean that they didn't go far.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CO*: I believe so.  Will take some work, work best done with care.

CNS_Wells says:
Security: Can you look at ship's logs and see if anything bad happened to them? Could they have been taken?

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CIV*: I will get us out of here, you just get us ready when we get there.

Host Admiral Alexander says:
#COM: Cherokee:  This is Admiral Alexander.  The station noticed you have gone to ship's power.  Is there a reason?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Walks over to his station and starts the emergency programs.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Let her know that we are having problems with the COMM, audio response only.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CNS: Systems are coming alive. One after the other. All in mode green.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Okay, stand by.  We may need you to think fast.
OPS: Any luck?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::puts the audio only on::  COM:  ADM:  Apologies for the non visual link, we have discovered a problem with our COMM system.  We have our teams tracing the problem now.  Stand by.

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Security> CNS: I'll look into it.  See if the Couple went away or something.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::stops pacing and stands by the nearest console, waiting::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CNS: All green. Good to go.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::looks to the sensor sweep of the Cait vessel::

Host Admiral Alexander says:
#COM: Cherokee:  Understood.  Let me know when you have it repaired.  Do you require any assistance from base personnel?

CNS_Wells says:
*CIV*: Thanks.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  ADM:  We have all under control, thanks for the offer.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Don't tell me their ship is gone?

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  No, its still here.

Host CO_Worthington says:
OPS: Are there no Cait signatures on the station?

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Oh, and thanks for dealing with the Admiral, you lie real good.  I mean I can't... I mean, thanks. We gotta find them two lost puddy tats.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CEO* That Borg Chronoton device, can it possibly open other gateways besides Temporal ones?

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
Ens Stanley: Head up to the deflector controls, take Mendez with you and make sure the Borg tech is ready to go if we need it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  No need to worry about them.
CO:  Captain, they are on their ship, which is still on board.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CIV*: It is possible, and given our situation entirely likely.  I just don't know how.  That is something I have to figure out.

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: You found them?

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Security> CNS/ CO/ OPS: Confirmed, they never left the ship.  They told a passing Security Officer they wanted to go on their ship, and he didn't see a problem.  Reported it once the APB was put out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Yes.  As I just said to the Captain, they are on their vessel, safe and sound.  So in a sense they went home.

CNS_Wells says:
::Breaths easy::

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: OK, this is what we are going to do. We will comm the station and tell them our systems are malfunctioning and we are experiencing a warp core breach. The station will cut us loose so we can get away. Once we are free we will need to make a run for it. Does everyone understand?

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Ready to go Sir. On your command. ::Smiles::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods and prays::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CO*: Aye sir, all ready down here to simulate warp core breach on your order.

CIV_Ayidee says:
*CEO*: I'm headed for the Bridge, I'll contact you once we're in position to start work on adapting the technology.  Have at least some theoretical information that might help us.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Ready Ensign? On the Captain's order.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Execute.
OPS: Send the message now.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CNS: As ready as one exited elephant can be sir!

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Good to know.

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets a disturbing image in his head, but shakes it off::

CIV_Ayidee says:
Computer: Transfer Analysis functions from this station to the Bridge, Science Station 1.  Full Encryption, multi modal.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CO*: Aye sir.  ::fingers work over the console, raising power levels to simulate a warp core breach::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Heads for the Bridge as quickly as possible.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  SB33:  USS Cherokee here, Our systems are malfunctioning and our sensors are showing a warp core breach in progress.

CNS_Wells says:
::Puts TAC on alert, just in case::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Fingers on the console. Ready to hit that ONE button if the command gets there.::

Host SM-Trish says:
<SB33> #COM: Cherokee:  Confirmed Cherokee.  Releasing docking clamps now.  You are on your own and good luck!

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
COM:  SB33:   Thank you.  Cherokee out.

Host CO_Worthington says:
FCO: Get us out of here now!

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
ALL:  Clamps are released.  Let's go home.

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> CNS: Aye Sir, preparing a torpedo launch to simulate explosion, if needed.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CIV*: Excellent, I think we will need all the information we can get.

CNS_Wells says:
::Has Security return Cait's to their quarters::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
:: Hits the button and the thrusters go full throttle, out of the station. Nearly shaving a piece of paint of the base station.::  
CO: Yes sir.
::When getting out side he changed thrusters for Impulse engines. It went pretty abruptly.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
::Arrives on Bridge, notes Tactical is properly covered, and goes to Sci 1.::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
All: Sorry for the disturbance. But could not do different.

Host CO_Worthington says:
Tactical: Once we are on the edge of short sensor range, release the torpedoes.
FCO: Once we let them rip take us to warp.

ACTION:  Starbase 33 watches as the Cherokee leaves the station.  Breach is getting closer as the Cherokee moves further away from the station.

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> CO: Aye Sir.

CNS_Wells says:
::Hangs on, habit, more than anything::

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
All: Signal me when I can hit the pedals for Warp speed.

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::Increases the power signature to resemble a warp core breach reaching critical point::

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Security> CO: Firing pattern locked, will only fool them for a few minutes at most.  Less if they look carefully.  Not enough mass by far.

Host CO_Worthington says:
Sec: Release scraps from our repairs, nothing that can identify us.

Host CO_Worthington says:
*CEO*: Once we head back we may need to use the Borg device again. Please prepare it for use.  Coordinate with Commander Ayidee.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Turns the ship a bit, so that there is space enough for getting away.::

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> CO: Aye Sir.  With luck, they won't look to confirm mass for long anyway.  ::Prepares to dump all possible debris.::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
*CO*: Aye sir, my team is on it already.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Good thinking.

Host S’Mole says:
S’Mean:  Well I never!  We are visiting our own ship and then get hustled out of it like we were trying to steal it!  How dare they!  ::begins swishing her tail and hissing::

CEO_Ens_Pasco says:
::leaves Ensign Fixzit in charge of the 'warp core breach' as she makes her way to the chronoton displacement device::

Host S’Mole says:
S’Mean:  Then they don't even have the courtesy to tell us what is going on.  ::with her voice raised, she wakens the kittens::  Now look what they have done!  ::she marches off to the nursery::

Host CO_Worthington says:
Tac: Time to outer sensor range?

CIV_Ayidee says:
<S'Mean> S'Mole: Relax, let us find what happened first.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: If we're going to do this, we can't wait too long.  More range makes investigation slower, but Core should have gone already if it was as bad as shown.

Host CO_Worthington says:
Tac: Fire torpedoes!

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> ::Fires torpedoes and releases debris.::

Host SM-Trish ACTION:  Torpedoes are fired and the Cherokee jumps to warp. (Torpedos.wav)

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Now, Ensign!

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Hits the warp speed button, before saying a single word.::

CNS_Wells says:
All: That went well, did it work?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Turns backwards.:: CNS: I guess you felt, I have pushed the warp speed button? But how fast? I have set to standard warp3.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Sensors showing an impressive burst, should be enough to get them into recovery mode, putting investigation off long enough.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: Good enough.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Now what, Sir?

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CNS: Yes sir.

Host CO_Worthington says:
ALL: We will proceed at Warp 6 back to the hole. And then we go back.

OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Back where?

Host CO_Worthington says:
CNS: The rift we emerged from. That is the best place to start.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
CO: Warp 6 laid in sir.

CNS_Wells says:
FCO: You heard him, Ensign.  Warp six, please, back the way we came.

FCO_Ens_Zdunovski says:
::Lays in warp 6, alters course for the time-rift. Already shaking by the thought of getting in again.::

Host CO_Worthington says:
Tac: Make sure we recover the buoy, don't want to leave anything behind.

CIV_Ayidee says:
CO: Will get things set to be ready to make an immediate attempt.  If we're ready, we won't have to spend time hiding in the mists again.

CIV_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> CO: Aye Sir.
