USS Pandora - Good Fishing To You - Part 13

Science Officer Damas looked up from his console and fixed Adams with a stare. "Perhaps I may have a few answers for you Captain."

The same Damas, that was OPS officer Damas an hour ago was Medical Officer Damas in Sickbay that treated the Captain.

Obviously something is not quite right on the Pandora...

SO_Damas :
CO: Perhaps I may have a few answers for you Captain.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: What was that? What did you find?
Commander_Hwii :
:: stops swimming and stares at the mammal ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: turns to the SO ::
SO_Damas :
CO: Well Captain, things aren't quite the way you think they are.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: looks to the SO and the CSO :: SO: Yes, I'm sure we'd all like to hear it
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: looks up from tactical and frowns ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: You mean it's not messed up? What did you find?
SO_Damas :
CSO: Not exactly. Let me explain.

SO_Damas :
CSO: You see things aren't exactly as you believe because you aren't exactly here.
SO_Damas :
:: waits to see how they take this information. ::
Commander_Hwii :
:: looks back and forth from Damas to Adams ::
SC_Capt_Marek:
SO: Please, we are all ears, Damas.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: raises an eyebrow to state that he wasn't intending any pun at all ::
SO_Damas :
:: looks at Hwii :: Hwii: You see your project is why I'm here.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
SO: that leaves Martin off the hook then. Can we start with who are you?
SO_Damas :
CSO: My name would be unpronounceable to you.
SO_Damas :
CSO: Please just call me Damas.
Commander_Hwii :
:: shakes his tail nervously :: Damas: PLEASE explain Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Captain, I'll bow this to your authority before I continue. If you miss any questions I'll jump in. Guess we need to focus, right?
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: nods ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: puts his hands behind his back .... if he was a regular human... he would be real anxious ::
SO_Damas :
Hwii: As I said, your project brought me here, literally.
SO_Damas :
Hwii: When your device went off, I was in close proximity to it.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: begins scratching the back of his neck ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: :: mumbles :: quite a long, long talker
SO_Damas :
Hwii: Maybe I should say if your device goes off, I will be in close proximity to it.
Commander-Hwii :
:: squeals :: Damas: But it went off and it seemed to have gone back in...... :: pauses :: IF it goes off???
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: And that's an issue?
SO_Damas :
Hwii: Yes, if. Like I said, you aren't exactly here right now.
SO_Damas :
CO: In actuality, you are all asleep on your ship. Safe and sound. Time has been suspended.
Commander Hwii :
:: shakes his fin and mumbles :: Damas: I feel awake :: slaps his fin on his nose :: I still feel awake.
SO_Damas :
CO: If that device goes off, it will be thrown, along with me, many years into the past and many light years distance.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: pinches skin on neck after making sure nobody else is watching ::
SO_Damas :
CO: The combination of the devices energy and my energy will cause that system to go extinct prematurely.

SO_Damas :
CO: I believe you met the last survivors of that system when you rescued the large nuclear powered ship.
SC_Capt_Marek :
All: Fascinating :: repeat the old worn out Vulcan gesture of raising an eyebrow ::
SO_Damas :
CO: I do not have the same restraints of non-interference that you have Captain, so I interfered and saved what I could.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: So, who exactly are you and why are you here?
SO_Damas :
CO: Once we were close enough here, I nudged the ship to this area to try and stop it from happening.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: Stop what from happening?
SO_Damas :
CO: The deployment of Commander Hwii's device.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: But, he did deploy it, didn't he?
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: Are you saying this is all a fantastic figment of our imagination?
SO_Damas :
CO: He can still abort it. I was able to halt time at just the right moment.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: Or what happens?
SO_Damas :
CO: I believe you all lost consciousness just prior to the device launching.
SO_Damas :
CO: From that point on, I was attempting to convey what happened by seeming to move the Delphis far away.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: You said we can't pronounce your name, fine, I admit we have some limitations there. If you can't say who you are, then what are you?
SO_Damas :
CO: What will happen Captain, is that there will be a chain reaction in the star system that I was pulled to and it will explode, killing all life on that planet except what I was able to save.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Half turns to the console and starts an internal scanner sweep of Damas. ::
SO_Damas :
CSO: I believe you have had dealings with entities calling themselves Q. Well, they would consider me to be like a Neanderthal to them.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: This isn't my fault; I just tossed it out as a theory! And the being was already here when I said it!
SC_Capt_Marek :
Damas: So basically you are here to prevent a disaster that had already taken place, and they will occur again
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Can't prove or disprove what's being said, Sir. Scans are reading human, but if this is a dream it's probably a human I've scanned before. Taken from my memory to make it smoother.
SO_Damas :
CSO: I am here to prevent it. And your scans won't work here. You aren't really here, this is my construct, and I control what the computer says. :: smiles ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
~~~Trix: Yes, I know, it could be one you scanned. Let's not argue semantics right now!~~~
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Half smiles and nods to Damas. ::
Commander_Hwii :
:: squeals and shakes all over :: Demas: So... my device caused all of this ?
SO_Damas :
CO: I am sorry for the ruse Captain, but, it was the only way I thought to show you what happened without it happening again.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Hwii: Your device and this being, if that's any consolation.
SO_Damas :
Hwii: Yes...and no. It was a combination of the energies of your device and my energy.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO/Damas: We are tampering with a situation from which we obviously do not have any control at all... Damas, don't mean any offense at all, but we only have your words... Do you have any more tangible evidence to prove your sayings?
Commander_Hwii :
Self: I'm going to be sick. :: feels like his has excruciating cramps and just wants to vomit ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: So you're somewhere between the Q continuum and the Federation. Can we scan your type of being with our technology? Make sure this doesn't happen again
SO_Damas :
Hwii: My doppelganger is out there right now, curious about what is happening and I cannot prevent that, but you can prevent your device from launching.
SO_Damas :
CSO: Unfortunately, at this time, you do not have the technology,
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Nods. :: Damas: I see, that is an issue then.
SO_Damas :
CSO: I can tell you that my species does not stray far from this area of space. Does that help?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: I think so. Just wondering if this can work without this unmanageable risk to other beings.
SO_Damas :
CSO: I don't know Lieutenant. I just know that I do not wish to be the cause of the extinction of an entire species.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Hwii: Commander, is your project tied to this area or could we do it elsewhere?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
Damas: Where is Lt Jinx?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Damas: I understand, I do not wish that either.
Commander_Hwii :
CSO: I chose this area because I thought we were far away from everything. ::still feels sick::
SO_Damas :
OPS: Your friend is safe on the ship. She awoke and I did not put her back under.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: notices something wrong with the Captain :: CO: Are you all right Sir?
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: Okay, assuming everything you are telling us is the truth, what now?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: If I may Sir? We find another location, one where these beings do not dwell. Take some time but it's well within our capability.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: turns to the SC :: SC: As far as I know, I'm asleep, and dreaming, but otherwise, just peachy
SO_Damas :
:: turns to the CO :: CO: Again, Captain, I apologize for the ruse. I will return you to your reality now and I sincerely hope that you will abort the launch at this time to avoid the disaster.
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: :: nods ::
Commander_Hwii :
Damas: But is my math correct? Is my work safe?
SO_Damas :
Hwii: It is but, the energies involved are a lot more complex than you realize.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas: You won't mind if we stick around to investigate and may verify what you're saying, before we simply take your word. Once we've come to our own conclusions, we'll go from there... no promises. But, if everything checks out like you're telling us, we will abort... for now.....
SO_Damas :
Hwii: Might I suggest you try some more small scale experiments prior to trying again?
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: knows he's going to have a lot of 'splainin to do to Starfleet before the ship can return to its primary duties of exploring this uncharted section of the galaxy ::
SO_Damas :
CO: Captain, I will not force you to do anything. I simply wanted to demonstrate the consequences of what would happen should the device deploy at this time and place.
SO_Damas :
CO: I shall now return you to your reality. Thank you for listening. Safe journeys to you and your crew.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Damas:: Understood. And so you understand, I've got to relate all of this to my superiors, and they won't settle for dream theory. Humans, by nature, are going to push the boundaries of science....

ACTION: Everything goes completely black.

CO_Capt_Adams :
:: wakes from a very strange sleep :: *Hwii": Belay that launch
Commander_Hwii :
*CO*: Device activation in 7....6...5...4... :: squeals and jumps on the abort switch ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: blinks and lifts her head from her console ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
All: I want everyone's report on my desk, in one hour!
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Hwii: Commander? That was real? I was thinking Trix was having a strange reaction to that dinner...
SC_Capt_Marek :
::feels like waking up::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: Aye Sir.
Commander_Hwii :
:: blinks :: CO: I report that I will not have that much caviar ever again Sir.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: blinks again and looks at the Captain :: CO: Sir, was that real?
CO_Capt_Adams :
*SCO/Hwii*: I want reports from you two within two hours
SC_Capt_Marek :
CTO: I would never master the art of ...humor... but I’d say that is a crack line indeed.
SC_Capt_Marek :
::turns to the CO: CO: Aye, Sir...
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Lieutenant, I seriously can't answer that one for the moment.
CTO_Lt_D`Ghor :
:: blinks :: SC: I was about to comment on the gagh not being fresh myself
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
*CO*: Yes Sir, two hours to explain this...should work.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Hwii: Sooo, what do we do next? Find another region of space?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: taps at her console :: CO: I found Lt Jinx Sir. She is in the counselor’s office.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: gets up and walks to his Ready Room :: SC: Since the XO isn't here, you have the Bridge... Take us back to your Station.
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: wonders just how the hell he's going to explain this all to Starfleet in his report ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Friktak: Anything of what we "saw" on sensor logs? Guessing not...
SC_Capt_Marek :
CO: Aye, Sir. My ... pleasure...
SC_Capt_Marek :
AFCO: Set a course to New Frontier Station. Warp 3.... and go.
