ARC 19 - Only the Good Die Young - Mission 16 - SD: 11707.25
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The Claymore sits outside of a large system someplace between Breen space and Vroa space.  Was this a last joke from Q, or did he expect that the Cabowee would start the end of the Federation and the Milky Way right here?  Was this the species that Q said needed to be trusted?

******************** Resume Mission *********************
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: At her station, waiting for their next step,.. how to proceed in introducing themselves?::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Gently sedates Fong so that he can get some much needed rest, then turns back to survey sickbay and its occupants::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: looks over at the captain questioningly::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Standing with his arms folded, having dropped his PADD into his seat::  CO:  I think a straightforward, simple introduction may be the best way forward, Sir.  ::Shakes his head::  If there is one.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands walking around behind her chair, places her hands on the back of her chair and looks at the viewscreen.::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Continues monitoring scans at the tactical station::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO/XO: I have an exact location....
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  XO: Very well, Commander.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Exact location, Commander?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO/XO: From sensor data and star charts, we are in the lower right corner of sector 086... approximately 40.4 light years from Deep Space 3.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a deep breath and dusts her hands together, then sweeps by her desk, grabbing a PADD and leaving sickbay to Tevis, as she exits to the nearest turbolift::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CSO: Forty light years...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CSO: Well, at least now we know where Q took us, or at least a rough idea.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CO/CSO:  We do.  But do we know when?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO/XO:  One other thing... I do not think it is the sensors, but I am getting some odd readings about the vessels within that system.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CSO: Q said something about taking us into the future seventy years, I thought, which should have brought us back to our own time if that is the case.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Odd readings?  Such as, Commander?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: lightly rubs her nose ridges::  CO:  According to sensors, those ships are over 450 years old, give or take a few decades.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits the turbolift and steps out on the bridge...even though she was just here a few hours ago, it somehow feels like a century...and so different, with the hubbub of handling an active crisis, instead of the quiet watchfulness her last time here::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Takes her hands off the back of the chair and walks around over near Senn to look at her data.::  CSO: How can they be over 450 years old, Commander?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO:  As for time... assuming the chronometers are accurate, we are only a few hours short from when we left.  Star positions, while not the best for fine tuning, place us within that time frame by a decade.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO:  Really good maintenance?  :: glances around quickly for their CEO::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Collision sensors chime out on the bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Shakes his head again::  CO/CSO:  Built to las--
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: turns quickly around and taps a button for data and viewing.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO/CTO: Report
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: shakes her head::  CO:  Nothing on short range sensors.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
TO2: Go to yellow alert and raise shields, Lieutenant
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns and scoops up his PADD before sitting in his chair and turning toward his console::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Makes some adjustments for readings outside of the norm.::
CTO_Lt_Kytides says:
<TO2_Ens_Senezem> ::Blinks in confusion, not taking his eyes away from scans::  CO:  Sensors suggest a ship about to collide with us, but I can't actually find any nearby ship on sensors.  Aye, Captain.  ::Raises shields and goes to yellow alert:::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Moves away from science and back to her chair, taking her seat as she sits back into the chair.::
Host SMDrew says:
<Computer> Alert Alert Collision Collision
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: shakes head::  CO:  I suggest we move out of the way and see if it follows.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods toward Senn, then turns to the captain::  CO:  Agreed.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Continues changing frequencies as she talks.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Aye, but which way do we move if we can't see whatever it is?
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Appears on the bridge.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
CO: Up..?
Host Commander_Wriena says:
<Computer>  Intruder Alert.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: turns quickly around and frowns.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::looks at the intruder and stands::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
SCENE:  A young woman in a uniform appears near the viewscreen.  Her red hair is pulled neatly into a bun off to the left side of her head.  A small side arm is at her waist, but still within its holster.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shifts to one side of the bridge, grabbing the back of an empty chair, then blinks as someone....just....appears.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Eyes widen as he reaches for the type-I phaser he keeps beside his console::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: notes the woman is not holding her weapon and relaxes a bit, waiting for the captain.::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Bows and holds up a small device to her mouth.::  Outloud:  I am Commander Wriena with the Semilisa Security Expedition.  Please state your intentions.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Making no sudden moves, sits back down and slowly turns around to activate the computers data base... sometimes miracles can happen... as she looks up Semilisa::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Cmdr_Wriena: I am Captain T'Shara of the USS Claymore.  We are explorers and detected your warp signatures.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::After a moment, lowers the phaser again to his armrest, setting it there gently, not wanting the intruder (or abrupt visitor, in any event) to mistake defense for hostility::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Miracles were not on her agenda with this mission.  With a quiet sigh, she turns back around, catches the XO's attention and shakes her head in the negative.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands calmly in front of her chair, wondering who the Semilisa were.::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Nods as the device translates.::  CO:  Captain T'Shara.  The Semilisa welcome you and your vessel to our system.  ::Taps a small device on her waist and talks in an unknown language.::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
ACTION:  A very large vessel materializes around the Claymore.  Tractor beams hold the Claymore within its large docking bay.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Puts the phaser back entirely in its place, deciding to just take the leap, and stands again, setting his PADD down, as well::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances slightly over at Damrok::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: With the huge ship on the viewscreen, she did not think she needed to say anything.::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
CO:  Captain, if you like we will take you to the home planet for further communications with our government.  We will have to take you there ourselves.  Traveling in and out of our system is rather complicated, and we would not like anything to happen.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Cmdr_Wriena: Thank you, Commander.  ::glances at the viewscreen, raises an eyebrow at the large vessel.  She was right there would have been no way to avoid this vessel if they would have moved::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: frowns at the words “complicated”... unless she was talking about a defense system::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
CO:  With your permission, Captain, I will stay aboard your vessel to keep in contact between my crew and yours.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: keeping all sensors on max, she sits back... at least they were going where they wanted to go for a change.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Thinks this is proceeding about as smoothly as he would have liked, although they took a decidedly different route getting there than he would've anticipated...at minimum, the Semilisa had no problem passing through their shields -- about the strongest Starfleet had on offer::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Cmdr_Wriena: Aye, that would be most kind of you.  We appreciate your help in keeping us protected.  Traveling is complicated  ̶  how so?  If I may ask?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  Cmdr_Wriena: You are most welcome to stay on board, Commander.  How long will it take to reach your home planet?
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Taps her communicator on her belt and gives some official-sounding commands in an unknown language.::  CO:  Captain, our planetary system is complicated in many ways.  Some we are still trying to study.  Ships have been known to be destroyed or lost forever trying to enter or leave.
Host Commander_Wriena says:
ACTION:  The large vessel jumps to warp with the Claymore safely inside.
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Smiles.::  CO:  A difficult question, Captain.  It will take some 450 years to reach our home world.  But our technologies have allowed us to change that.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Kind of holds her breath::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Cmdr_Wriena: It sounds like we have something in common in that you are explorers as well.
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: Takes a PADD and writes some quick notes on it.  1) Their vessel is young, a year or two.  2) crew of 4500  3) large enough to hold at least two Claymore-sized vessels and ten Defiant class ships inside its docking bay  3) nothing on weapons yet  4) Their cloaking device was highly advanced... obviously.  Stands and takes it to Damrok::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
ACTION:  The large vessel drops from warp and dematerializes.  The Claymore is now in a large orbit around a large Blue / Green planet.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks back to Senn slightly and nods.  Ahh, that answers the 450-year-old vessels question.::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: catches the captain’s nod and agrees::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
CO:  Captain, we have arrived at Semilisa.  Your vessel is free to remain in orbit or travel, with permission, to any of our settlements or stations on other planets.  However, if you wish to leave our planetary system, you must first request it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes the PADD and reads it quickly, nodding to Senn and passing it back::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::They have the technology to travel from one decade to another by hundreds of years.  How were the Cabowee involved...perhaps because of this technology the Cabowee considered them a threat, and yet technology the Cabowee could use if they got hold of it::
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: takes the PADD back, wishing they could travel as fast.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Cmdr_Wriena: Thank you, Commander.  You mentioned something about meeting with your government?
CSO_Cmd_Senn says:
:: and hopes they would take them back when ready.  There was a difference between taking 37 years to get home and 450::
Host Commander_Wriena says:
CO:  I will contact them, and they will make contact with your vessel for a meeting.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Bows her head slightly to Wriena:  Cmdr_Wriena: Thank you, Commander.
Host Commander_Wriena says:
::Bows and vanishes off the Claymore.::
Host SMDrew says:
