Last time on the Scimitar:

Summary: The Scimitar crew are trying to get into orbit, after hovering above the surface (with the rising water levels!).

The Captain is acting more normal but no one is sure. The CSO has snapped out his crazy behaviour, for the moment. And now the crew focus on what those glowing balls are doing... or if they are hallucinating that floating, glowing balls can 'talk'

Executive Officer's log, Stardate 10909.28... Is this thing on? Oh yes, its flashing...Umm, we are trying to get to orbit so we can see if the deflector dish modifications work... I hope they work.. and don't create a giant tr- <end log>

<<<<<<<<<<Resume  Mission – Restoration – Part 5 >>>>>>>>>>

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::wandering around on the bridge offering suggestions to anyone who will listen::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::sitting on the Bridge in her chair::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::on the Bridge, watching the view screen and taking lots of deep breaths:: MO: Are you still here?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Ignoring the CO as he is obviously delerious:: XO: Sir I believe we are in geosynchronus orbit over the event, we are ready to engage the dish

SCENE: The glowing balls are still gathering, using energy to part the seas.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: This doesn't look good...

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
MO: Well if you are, could you scan the CO and see if he is fit for duty? ::turns to the CTO:: Acknowledged ::rubs his temple:: CNS: What can you tell me about those glowing balls? Are they showing any form of behaviour you are familar with?

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Sir, the counselor is right. This isn't good... the balls of matter is making its own gravity...

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: Um... I'm a psychologist... not a physicist... But I'm sure Ens. Tallis will tell us what's happening. ::shifts awkwardly in her seat::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
SO: Could we get far enough away to NOT get pulled into their personal gravity?

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Yes, depending on the rate it's gathering matter...

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: But at the rate it's going... it's unlikely, sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::gets fed up with pacing and stands at the back of the command circle tapping his foot::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CO: Mister MacAllister? Can we reverse your changes? What did you do!?

ACTION: The Scimitar finally gets into orbit.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: I gave the codes to the CTO, last I heard he reversed them already.

MO Dr. Dakar says:
::walks onto the bridge:: XO: You rang?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO/CO Yes I have reversed those changes and made the subsequent changes to try and bring us back home

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::stands up and faces the CO pacing above her:: CO: Captain...? Can we help you in any way?

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
MO: Yes, scan the CO, check for any brain abnormalities or... ::sniffs:: alcohol

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Can we try your changes now? Are you sure they work?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: Well I've been pacing here for the last 10 minutes trying to get people to listen but... meh, no-one listens to the CO when he's been relieved, even if he is making sense.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I can't be sure until we try them but they check out on the simulations

MO Dr. Dakar says:
XO: Understood. ::walks over to the CO:: CO: This won't hurt a bit, unless you don't sit still.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: And the payload on the ship? Do we have sufficent power?

ACTION: Where the water parts, a power signature is detected in the depths on the surface. A mile of depth has been opened, and they are getting ever closer to their goal.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: That I am not sure of, let me verify  :pulls up energy distribution data and begins calculations::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
CO: What are you suggesting?

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Sir, I'm detecting a power signature a mile under the... the glowing balls.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
SO: Report, was that a power spike I sa- Oh. What KIND of power signature? I am an XO, not an engineer

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Power reserves are close, we may want to move all personnel to the inner portions of the ship in case of any sturctyre damage during the trip

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: Well, those.. orbs, appear to be sentient, I believe they used me to free themselves from this planet, now since they released me when they were finished with me instead of killing me I would suggest they have no interest in harming us, so we should try and contact them.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
*All Hands*: All Hands, this is Lieutenant Ro'kar, all non-essential personnel are to vacate the outer decks

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Do it.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Aye ::Engages deflector dish::

MO Dr. Dakar says:
CO: You look sane to... well I mean the readings look normal.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: I think we should open a hailing frequency.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
MO: Tell me something I don't know.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::looks at the CNS:: CNS: Why? Is he...he safe to come back on duty?

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: Why NOT?!

MO Dr. Dakar says:
CO: Did you know that there are 5 recorded cases of mutation in Ferengi children where they were born with a third ear?

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Hate to say it, but she may be right. It's just crazy enough to work. And we need something fast. This is not looking good.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
MO: I'd rather not know where that was grown. ::cringes::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::winces at the increased volume:: CNS: Lieutenant I suggest you don't raise your voice like that to me again. ::looks at the SO and sighs:: Computer: Computer, begin change of command log. Captain MacAllister is reinstated as Commanding Officer

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: I didn't say reinstate him, I just said open a hailing frequency.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: He's still addled, but he may be speaking some truth.

MO Dr. Dakar says:
CO: Interestingly enough... ah relevance... XO: I declare him fit for duty, Lieutenant Romack.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Looks at the first officer chair he is in and wonders if he should get up::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
SO: Do it, Ensign

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Done, sir. Frequency open.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::steps round into the command circle::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Go ahead, sir, its your job not mine ::swallows hard and rubs his head::

ACTION: The deflector dish activates, sending a pulse to the wormhole. The wormhole fluctuates and then gives off phased readings. They can scan through the wormhole to the other side.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins to stand then stops and sits and starts to stand again still not sure if he is supposed to move now::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Thanks, how's your head? ::sits in his chair again::

ACTION: No reaction from the orbs.

SO Ens. Tallis says:
XO: Sir, scans from the wormhole indicate it is from our universe.

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::ears perk up:: XO/SO: So we're going home?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
SO: How long until the wormhole collapses?

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CO: It's fine... ::winces:: SO: and how stable is the wormhole?

SO Ens. Tallis says:
CO/XO: Hard to tell at this point... energy levels are fluctuating. It might be now or never, sirs.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CNS: This reminds me of a ship from Starfleet that was trapped in another quadrant...

SO Ens. Tallis says:
CO/XO: I would say maybe 30 minutes. Best estimate.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Send a probe, I don't want to be halfway through and then have it close on us

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
XO: You have no idea how many alternate universes I have encountered since I got commissioned...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
:prepares and launches a probe::

ACTION: Probe is launched. A minute later, readings come back from the wormhole passage... it is stable enough.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
SO: Contact Engineering, have them divert every ounce of power we're not using to structural integrity and the shields.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CO: Your choice, Captain, either we go or we stay...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: This isn't our war... send a high speed probe toward the nearest friendly outpost with all the details we have about the dominion.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Set a course for the wormhole and prepare to engage on my mark.

FCO Aral'sk says:
CO: Ready and awaiting.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CTO: Do as the Captain said, high speed probe, with sheilding, to the nearest outpost...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Aye ::Downloads data to probe and launches::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Engage!

FCO Aral'sk says:
CO: Aye! ::engages::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::closes his eyes for a moment and takes another deep breath:: Self: I hate the pressure that builds when we go to warp...

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::exhales; she was afraid that MacAllister was still... not himself::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
All: Point of no return folks, see you on the other side.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
SO: How sure are you that this wormhole is stable?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Now is NOT the time to be asking questions like that!

ACTION: The Scimitar passes through the wormhole. It is a turbulent ride.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
Aloud: Oooohhh, I think I am going to be sick ::shuts his eyes tightly, feeling very dizzy::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::points the XO's head away from him:: XO: That way!

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CO: Don't TOUCH me ::grimaces and clutches his head to try relieve the pressure::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::shakes his head and watches the viewscreen::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
CO: Not on me!!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: What are you doing on that side anyway? You should be over there. ::points::

CNS Lt. Solaa says:
::shake her head and thinks, "Is my shift over yet?"::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Are we THERE yet?

ACTION: The Scimitar gets through the wormhole and it closes behind them. Their last scan shows the glowing orbs acessing a massive energy source that is unleashed.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sits up as the shaking stops:: FCO: I'll take that as a yes... what is our position?

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
Aloud: Where....where is that medical kit.... I need... ::groans and rubs his head again::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CNS: Get him to sickbay ::points at the XO:: He's in no fit state to be here.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::mutters:: CO: I am fine...really...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Don't make me make it an order Ren.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: I... ::sighs:: I'll think about it...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Now Ren!

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
CO: Don't...don't shout... ::swallows hard and rubs his temple::

FCO Aral'sk says:
CO: By here. ::Scans:: Our universe confirmed... Closest system is Kivalis.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::Lowers his voice:: XO: I'll stop shouting if you get to sickbay.

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::gets up off his chair:: CO: I am going... ::starts walking off the Bridge::

XO Lt. Ro`kar says:
::lingers at the doorway and looks at the viewscreen:: Self: Home...at last...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Set course to Kivalis and engage at full impulse, and send a message ahead, we're going to need a tow.

FCO Aral'sk says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::engages and sends a message::
