Mission Summary 10910.15

The USS Don Johnson has been forced to travel through the wormhole into the Delta Quadrant, in spite of the awaiting 4 battle ships.

Upon exiting the wormhole into the Delta Quadrant, they were approached by a large ship that did not respond to hails.  Their ship was surrounded by an immensely bright white light and then nothingness.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Leaves his quarters in his new uniform and heads towards the bridge::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::feels the pulse of his heart in his fingertips as he runs level 5 diagnostics from the helm::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::slowly looking around after the light passes::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Status report, Ensign!

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::standing in main engineering, next to a console, looking around blankly::  Self:  What just happened?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Runs into another science member:: Ensign: What is your name, crewman?

SO Amstad says:
CSO: Ensign Amstad, sir.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::snapping out of his mental fog::  All engineering:  All-right, I want status and damage reports people!  ::turns to the master control console and checks critical systems::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
Ensign Amstad: Report to science lab 2.  I will be sending data to you momentarily for processing.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Self :What....::looks around::*Sick Bay*; Medical Teams to the bridge

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes, Commander?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: Aye sir! Right away... reports coming in now.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Good...at least I don’t have to take command:: tries to laugh a little but it hurts::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the bridge:: CO: Lieutenant Commander Stidd, reporting for duty.  I will begin running scans to determine where we are and what just happened to us.

EO Reese says:
 ::from across room::  CEO:  Shields...  37%, structural integrity 85%

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: You were just seeing if I'm awake? Gee, thanks.

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  Propulsion appears nominal. I'm running diagnostics now. 

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: You know I care...are you okay?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Welcome back, Commander.  Yes, please do.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: A little bruised and disoriented, but otherwise, okay.  You?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Steps up to sci1 and begins scans of the area and begins running filters over the scans from the bright light incident.::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: Shields holding at 37% Captain, minor damage.  The flash doesn't seem to have done anything.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Well, that's good.  Work on getting those shields repaired, though I'm sure your boss is already on it.

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Damage control parties are sealing hull breaches on decks 7 and 12.  We've got some structural damage on the main interlocking members to both nacelles.  Nothing serious, looks like torsional stress from the wormhole.

ACTION:  No images are showing on the ship's viewscreen

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::feels his ribs:: CO: Think I might have broke a Rib or two...little tender...bruised of course. I wonder where we are...::looks back at the EO::*CEO*:Get the engines and Shields back up ASAP...number one priority. Everyone okay down there?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO :Are the visual sensors off line?

ACTION:  Sensors seem to be giving the same readings as when the ship exited the wormhole, feeding it through in an endless loop.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: Affirmative and the rest of the sensors are in a loop of some kind.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Get that taken care of as soon as you can, Dynar.

ACTION:  Engineering reports that warp core is offline, but all systems report that they are functioning normally.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::curses under his breath and slowly gets up:: CSO: Get them online....I wanna sorta see what’s coming.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Aye Commander, working on it.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese, Ebanez:  Our priority is shields and propulsion right now.  I don't know where those attacking ships went, but in case they show themselves we've got to me ready.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO/XO: I am not even getting a positive location right now.  ::Looks at the XO:: XO: I have come to realize that there are times when it is best if you not see where you are going.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Understood...crew comes first...::smiles, grabs a med kit:: Nothing a little pain med won’t cure for the time being

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps at the helm trying to get a fix on their position using star charts of the known galaxy::

EO Reese and EO Ebanez say:
::together:: CEO:  Aye sir.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Very well.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Understood Commander....but in this case...we should see where we’re going. Can you use a shuttle’s sensors to get a fix?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::calls up the warp core status displays.::  Warp Core:  All-right baby, talk to me.  Where are you hurting.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: I can try but I am not sure they are even working correctly.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Begins to try and bring a shuttles sensor array online remotely::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Do what you can...::sits down in his chair, prep the hypo and injects him self::

EO Hicks says:
 ::approaches the CEO::  CEO:  anti-matter containment is stable, and matter reactant temp and tank pressure is within specs.  Looks like the injectors are locked down.  Why would they be locked down? 

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Looks like we can't see anything, if I'm hearing people correctly.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: No luck.  They are just as blank as the rest of the sensors.  Request permission to launch a shuttle and see if I can get any visual cues, sir.

ACTION:  Lights flicker throughout the ship, reports begin filtering onto the bridge of intruders throughout the ship.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::reviews the cores operating logs::  Hicks:  Don't know, doesn't look like any core instability prior to going off line.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::leans back and sighs:: CSO: Stand by Commander...::looks over at the CO:: CO: Intruder Alert! ::some how manages to spring to his feet and goes tot he Tactical Station::

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  What about something externally affecting the core?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::jumps out of his chair locking down the helm console and reaching behind his chair for a phaser::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Intruders!  Get a tactical team to where ever they are!

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::reaches back to his console and triggers the klaxons:: *CEO*: Chief, where do you want me?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Hicks:  I don't want to rule anything out at this point.  See if you can access external sensors, get a look at what's out there.

EO Hicks says:
CEO:  Right ::moves off::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::sets his phaser to stun::

ACTION:  White figures appear on the Bridge, in Engineering, in Sickbay and other locations within the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::tosses a phaser to the CO:: CO: Understood...::grabs a phaser rifle from the locker and heads for...wait is not going any where, turns around and aims a weapon at the figure on the bridge ::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps in front of the captain pointing his phaser at one of the figures:: Figure: Hold it!

EO Reese says:
 ::walking backwards, white as a ghost, bumps into the CEO, getting his attention::  CEO: Ahhhh, sir?  ::points to a white figure near the warp core.

ACTION:  All weapons show to have zero charge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Examines the figures on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Figure: Don’t move...it's kind of polite to introduce your self before you appear in someone’s command centre

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::taps com badge::  Bridge:  Bridge, engineering.  We have an intruder.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:So do we MacLeod...stand by.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::takes a step towards the figure::  Figure:  Hey there.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::notices his phaser isn't powered yet keeps pointing it at the figures:: 

Zim says:
All: You have nothing to fear.  We offer you peace.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks down at the weapon Lemmick tossed her and sees it has no power::

EO Reese says:
Engineering Form:  Piece of what?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::whispers back to the CO:: CO: Captain, my phaser's dead.  Stay behind me.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::shoots Reese a glare::  Reese:  Back down ensign.  ::turns to the form::  Engineering Form:  Who are you?

Zim says:
All: Safety from those you flee, from all your fears.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
Bridge: It is unlikely that our weapons will have any effect on them.  Look at their ghostly appearance like they are here but not here at the same time.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: You're probably right.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Engineering Form:  Are you protecting us from them, now?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
Intruder: What do you want?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::slowly approaches the CO's position and whispers:: CO: My weapons out too...::grabs a tricorder and scans the form::

Zim says:
CEO: I am called Zim, you are Seamus are you not?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::speaks in a whisper:: XO: Sir, how did they transport through our shields?  Did we lower them?

EO Reese says:
::pulls out a phaser and tries to set it, finds it to be out of power.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: Given that our other sensors are inefficient I doubt that the tricorder will give you any data that is usable.

Gabriel says:
CO: We are here to protect you from those you fear, and to hide you from those you flee.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
ZIM: Aye, that's right.  But you haven't answered my question.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Doesn't hurt to try...::shakes his head at the EO no::

EO Reese says:
 ::grabs a spanner and slowly moves to get behind the form::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
Self: Humans and Trill and their need to try.

Zim says:
CEO: Yes, you may communicate within your ship, but the outside world is a void that does not exist to you at present.  Not until the dangers have passed.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
Gabriel: Protect us from those we fear and hide us from those we flee.  Do you not know that we are explorers?

EO Ebanez says:
 ::approaches the CEO, and whispers::  CEO:  A sub-space fold.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods to the XO and steps away from the Captain knowing the XO is there and heads for one of the engineering stations on the bridge:: Self: Now if only I could figure ...  ::taps away at the console::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
ZIM:  Why do you think we need your protection?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Report?

Gabriel says:
CO: Yes, Deborah, you explore, you prefer peace, but there are those that seek to destroy you and have caused much damage to your vessel.  We seek to protect you from them until you are prepared to face them.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CEO*:  Sir, I've got a life form down here calling itself Zim.  Claims to be protecting us from the ships that were attacking us.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
Gabriel: First of all, you will address me as Captain. Second of all, while what you are doing is admirable, I guess,  we know how to take care of ourselves.

Zim says:
CEO: Your ship was in danger of destruction, you fled into our protection.  The ships pursued you and have met their foe within the Delta Quadrant.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices Reese trying to get the jump on Zim, but shakes his head "no" to get Reese to back off::  ZIM:  You mean to say, you exist in the wormhole we passed through?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::raises an eyebrow at the chatter on the bridge and over the comm system:: Self: Huh...  ::checks the power distribution network for output and checks what generators are running::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
Gabriel: I have a question.  Do you live within the wormhole here?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Sir, our warp core is offline, yet it appears our power grid is not diminished.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Understood...we have one here claiming that as well.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Any suggestions?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Sir, when you're not making first contact and conducting alien diplomacy, can you confirm that the warp core is offline?

Gabriel says:
::nods respectfully to Deborah:: CO: As you wish Captain.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Try to see if they are responsible for our system issues. And don’t do anything to provoke them.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
BridgeForm: Now that you know my name and what I prefer, what do I call you?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::glances at the warp core::  *EO*:  Confirmed ensign.  The warp core is down.

Zim says:
CEO: Yes, we exist within what you refer to as the wormhole.  However, you are still within.  All that you saw was planted within your ship's memory core to give us time to approach you.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: *CEO*: Aye sir, thank you sir.

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Does he look provokable to you?

Gabriel says:
CO: I would that you call me Gabriel.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::snickers:: Gabriel: Gabriel, as in the archangel of old Earth mythology?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::waves Ebanez away:: 

Gabriel says:
CO: I have been called by many names.

Gabriel says:
CSO: Yes, we are within the wormhole.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: Can you tell us where we are?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
Gabriel: So, Gabriel, when do you intend to let us go on with our journey?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::raises his other eyebrow at the name... that's two eyebrows now:: 

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps away from the console and heads into a TL:: TL: Engineering.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
ZIM:  So Zim.  Are you in control of this ship now?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Captain, if I remember the reports, these aliens are capable of time travel since they exist outside of time itself.

Gabriel says:
XO: We are in an alternate dimension that runs parallel to your own.  We brought you here away from your pursuers.  Those that attacked you have met their enemies within the Delta Quadrant.  ::raises his hand and the viewscreen images within the ship display the ships that had been attacking the DJ in a battle with the 4 large battleships they had been observing via the probe in the Delta Quadrant.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: That's right.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: Then you can return us home?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the turbolift and heads into main engineering where yet another odd figure is addressing the CEO:: CEO: Sir, I'm going to take a team to see what I can do about those hull breaches on deck seven.

Zim says:
CEO: Not I, no, but my people are holding this ship in what you might call limbo, feeding it power and maintaining it at the exact moment that it entered our dimension.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::grabs a basic repair kit and a padd with an engineering watch bill pulled up:: CEO: Unless you have other orders for me sir.

Ebanez says:
CEO:  What explains why the warp core is offline.

Gabriel says:
XO: That is our plan as soon as you make your ship ready.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods once to the EO::  EO:  play safe, lad.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
Gabriel: In order to make the ship ready we need sensors returned to working order, or have they been functioning the entire time.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: Then we need to work under our own power...and have full use of our ship. And returned to our home

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
ZIM:  I assume we can still conduct our repairs.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::listens as the XO negotiates with the alien::

Zim says:
CEO: We are to protect you here until your repairs are made.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: If you want to protect us then fine...do that. We appreciate that. But by keeping us here you are holding us against our will...and that's wrong.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods to the CEO:: CEO: Aye sir.  ::taps his comm badge:: *EOs*: The following engineering personnel meet me on deck 7 by the containment field with all damage control equipment for repairing several hull breeches.  Albacore, Bellermine, Calcutta and Davis.

Gabriel says:
XO: All you need will be returned to you.  We will observe until your repairs are made and then allow the completion of your passage through the doorway.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Looks down at the scans again with the new information to see if they are functioning normally::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Self:  all-right then.  All engineering:  Back to work people.

ACTION:  Sensors are restored, as is ship power.  All information is now current.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: We need everything returned...not just what we need. Completion of passage...you mean back to the Alpha Quadrant...our home?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Begins scanning the area and the alien forms::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps into a turbolift with his kit:: TL: Deck seven.  ::reviews the initial damage reports::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  You just want us to get at it, with these, things here?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::gives the CO a worried look::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  That's the general idea...  Why?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks back at the XO to let him know he's doing fine::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Well, just look at'em.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the turbolift and nods to the assembled crewmen:: DC Team: Alright, I don't know what you've heard, but we're not near a space dock, and can't risk a spacewalk or shuttle support with this crazy stuff going on.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  For the moment, he's not doing anything.  Just ignore him.

Gabriel says:
XO: All ships systems have been restored to the moment this ship entered the doorway.  We control nothing except your location.  You entered the doorway en route to the Delta Quadrant, you will be allowed to continue to that destination.

EO Reese says:
::reluctantly turns about and goes back to work::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Quickly types up a summary of his findings including what he is getting on the aliens and transmits it to the captain’s station as well as the XOs station::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
Albacore: Start by evaluating the hull plating, use external sensors, as well as those inlaid into the hull.  Bellermine: Prep the plasma welder, if I have to explain to you why, you're not qualified to operate it.  ::looks around:: DC Team: Where's Calcutta?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: You said we would be returned home....our home is the Alpha Quadrant. The Delta Quadrant is thousands of light years away.

Ebanez says:
 ::at the warp core console::  CEO:  Warp core power is back online sir.  Everything appears normal.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  Diagnostics.

ACTION: All beings except for Zim and Gabriel fade and disappear.

EO Calcutta says:
::walking up with a large sack over his shoulder:: EO: Here sir, had to get the patch kits.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods to Zim, then turns back to the master control console::

Gabriel says:
XO: I said that once your repairs are complete, you would be able to complete your passage.  Your destination was the Delta Quadrant, the Delta Quadrant is where you will go.  The doorway will remain open until those that created it destroy it.  You will be able to return to the Alpha Quadrant, however we can not send you there.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Looks at the captain and XO to see if they got his message or have read it::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel :We could use the doorway as you call it to go back....You won’t stop us from using it?

Gabriel says:
XO: We have taken you out of time and space to give you a chance to survive.  To be caught in that battle, in this damaged state would have meant your destruction.

Gabriel says:
XO: No, we will not interfere with your return.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks at the message from the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: If it was our destruction then we would have met it...that's a risk we all take when we step into this uniform. That's our job is to take risks

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods to Calcutta:: Calcutta: That's all well and good, let me know next time.  Davis: Go to the second breach and begin evaluations.  ::takes up a tricorder:: DC Team: I'll come with you Davis.  ::starts walking::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: Sometimes yes...it means our death....but death is a fact of life. We can't fear it our hide from it. That wouldn't be honorable. Now would it?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::watches the men and women go to work on the first hull breach, noting the time it would take them to complete:: *CEO*: Sir, repairs are underway.

Gabriel says:
XO: It is true that your people do not fear death nor hide from it.  But do they seek it?  Do you choose to turn aside this protection and proceed into what you see waits.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::sighs and ponders to himself if everyday were like today, would I want to eat that prune?::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: Sought...yes...in some cultures it is. Us no....but if what actions we choose leads us to that then so be it. We can't stop from living life...sometimes it means we die and sometimes not.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::ponders what the alien is saying, but knows that Dynar is right::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Gabriel: We have to be free to make our own choices

Gabriel says:
CO: Is that your decision, to continue without this chance?

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Marvels at the alien’s logic and methodology of argument::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
Gabriel: I concur with Commander Lemmick, yes.

Gabriel says:
:: sadly :: All:  As you so choose.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::thinks...what did he just do...condemn them all to death::

ACTION:  Gabriel and Zim disappear from the ship, lights flash once more and the DJ finds itself surrounded by battling ships.  The ships that were attacking them within the Alpha Quadrant are continuing their attack, the 4 Delta Quadrant Battleships have moved forward and attacking all ships from the Alpha Quadrant including the DJ.
