Last time on the Scimitar...
“A stone thrown at the right time is better than a stone thrown at the wrong time.” - Persian Proverb

The Scimitar crew come within of the starbase but, before they can ascertain where the Admiral is, they pick up some COMM traffic coming from around the station. Apparently the surrounding space is under attack from the Tholians.

Without the Scimitar in its previous location to stop the Tholians, they have begun their invasion. Realising they would likely not be able to speak to the Admiral as well as how they were affecting the timeline, the captain recommended they jumped to another time and place to stop the Admiral.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission - Forever Chasing Shadows Part 5>>>>>>>>>>

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::on the bridge 'getting the departments ready' ::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Bridge, working on creating a power reserve in the phaser battery array::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: At her station prepping for another time jump and keeping an eye on the Tholians :: 

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
::walks over to the CO, hands over a cup::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::takes the steaming cup of coffee:: CIV: Thank you yeoman.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Engineer, are we ready?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::glances up, seeing the CO get a cup of coffee and coughs loudly::

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
::watches the CO with bated breath::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: I think so, Captain. I'll run a few more tests but, it should work.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Please. ::smiles:: run more tests then.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::Takes a sip and sits down next to Ren:: XO: Status report ?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Aye.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: All departments are reporting green status ::mumbles:: and there is a severe delay in the caffiene dispensation to Executive Officers on this deck

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
::when the CO takes his sip, he grins and then sits down - mission accomplished::

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: Oh trust me, you don't want this brew.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV: I know, I can smell it

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles at Ren:: XO: Sorry, Commander.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: What is the plan for when we get there, sir?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO/CIV: Winging it? We need to be ready for whatever

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO: To what time are we jumping back to?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::looks at Ren:: XO: We need to pick a time when the Scimitar was not doing anything .... important.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: So just before it left on its first mission ::smile sarcastically::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Everything is looking good. There should be no power drain when we jump.

MO_Ens_Ores says:
::arrives on the bridge and looks around:: CO/XO: Just a standard medikit check... always be prepared, 
right?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles:: XO: Sometimes feels like that, I'm so glad I came back here.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CEO: How many simulations have you run, Ensign?

CO Capt. Rome says:
::glances at the Medical officer and nods:: MO: Something is about to blow up anytime now if I know this ship correctly anyway. ::smiles::

CEO Ens. Peake says:
XO: Several. I have worked out that this has almost no chance of failure, sir.

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO/XO: The XO is right. When has the Scimitar ever been off the radar?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Famous last words, Ensign.

MO_Ens_Ores says:
CO: Well I can't help you there, sir. Only if your head was blowing up, I guess. ::takes notes on her PADD of what needs to be restocked::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV: Several times, Commander, but we need to location that is near to Admiral Shinra

ACTION: As the CO sips down on his coffee he sees an object at the bottom of it, moving.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::spits put his coffee::

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO/XO: Wait a second... if we can go to any time, why NOT go back to before the Scimitar was commissioned?

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO: Ah I see you found the Bolian Grek Worm. It's a delicacy - don't waste it! It's for good luck and good health.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV/CO: Are we still trying to convince Admiral Shinra? Surely she would be suspicious if we told her that many years down the line she should not go to X location at Y time

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: I just want to stop that stupid...::mumbles the ending that rhymes with itch::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::puts the coffee cup away and glares at Thalev:: CIV: Very funny, Commander.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: You are a Trill, Ensign Uax, do you have any ideas?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: None at this point 

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO: Bet you'll never ask me to bring you coffee again though, will you? My mission accomplished. Now... back to the serious issues... to what time are we going?

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO/CIV: Can we go back that far? Is she even the same person back then as she is now, even an Admiral ? Can we interfere with her life like that?

MO_Ens_Ores says:
::as she's coming around she peers into the CO's cup and nods:: CO: He's right, sir. It's really rather good for you... lots of betacarotine. Kind of wiggles when it goes down though... ::makes a face::

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles at the MO:: MO: You're new here, aren't you?

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO/XO: Maybe before she became an Admiral... if we go to a time we know she was at the peak of her career - loving Starfleet - she'd be willing to help us?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CEO: Can the device be modified to be used in a shuttle, Ensign?

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: If we remove it from this ship, who knows what'd happen? What if we're dependant on it?

MO_Ens_Ores says:
CO: Not really, sir. I've been here all a long. You just never notice since you try your hardest to avoid Sickbay at all costs.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
XO: It's possible. The shuttle would have to be modified to accomidate it's power needs though.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::smiles:: MO: Let's keep it that way.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CIV: You have a point, but I am concerned about an Akira-class starship appearing randomly in the past...

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO/CIV: Agreed, we would stand out like a Klingon on a Risan beach.

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
XO: Yes, but if we go back, the Scimitar will do that anyway.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::sighs:: CIV: Yes, sir. ::thinks:: If only this ship had a cloaking device

CO Capt. Rome says:
::accesses his armwrest console:: All: From my records, there is a weekend...7 months past where the Scimitar stopped at the Starbase for R and R and resupplying...we need to see if the Admiral is recorded being there at the time ?

OPS Lt. Zen says:
CO: Sir! Vidiian ship on long range sensors! Whatever we do we need to do it fast... make that 6 ships!

CO Capt. Rome says:
CTO: Yellow alert
ACTION: The ships yellow alert activates.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CEO: Seven months? Will there be a power drain, Ensign?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
XO: Not at all. I'm 100 percent sure on that, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
MO: Stick around, Ensign.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Bring the device online, get us ready.

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CEO: Confident sounding... like a former CEO I knew ::gestures to the CO::

MO_Ens_Ores says:
CO: Aye, sir. 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Whatever we're going to do we better do it fast.. 

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Or I may just have to try and outrun the Vidiians

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::glances at the CEO:: CEO: You better be, Ensign, we can't have power drains

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Evasive Pattern Delta three Four, Ensign

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Aye, bringing it online. XO: I know.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: I never let you down, did I? ::grins::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
XO: Done and Done.. 

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
::grins:: CO: I don't want to answer that. Now I'm already missing an antenna. I'll be damned if the vidiians are going to take my other one, so can we get a move on please Captain?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: Input these time coordinates, Lieutenant. ::transfers the dates::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: I say we go for that weekend, Sir, its - ::pauses as the CIV speaks:: What he said

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Make sure we don't jump infront of traffic again.

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: I'll try not to.. 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Aye sir. ::makes sure to check that there are no comets due at the coordinates before punching them in::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO/CSO: Activate when ready....and please hurry.

MO_Ens_Ores says:
CIV: Well, at least your antenna is growing back, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::grips the sides of his chair::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CEO: Is the reserve power ready?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: permission to take firing control just in case? 

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CSO: Yes. No power will be lost during the jump.

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Aye, work with Tactical.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: I am holding you to that, Engineer Peake.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
All: Hold on to something. ::activates the device::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::holds onto his arm rest::

FCO Ens. Uax says:
:: grips her chair :: 

MO_Ens_Ores says:
::loops her arm around a pylon and anticipates being tossed around for this::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Um, Lieutenant, you did press the green 'Go' button, right?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO/CEO: Problems, gentlemen?

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: Shouldn't be...

ACTION: The Scimitar makes the jump, coming out the other side smoothly and gracefully to the exact minute programmed and without a single bit of power being lost at all. Everything is perfect.

CO Capt. Rome says:
::releases his grip on the chair and slowly stands up:: All: Status reports? Long and short range sensor sweeps!

CEO Ens. Peake says:
::Checks power:: CO: No power loss, Captain.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: It just takes a moment to warm up. Everything seems to be normal on sensors, sir. Much better than last time.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CO: Initially, it looks good...

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: Good job, Ensign.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CEO: I want a full systems check. We might need to run from one thing or another.

CEO Ens. Peake says:
CO: On it, sir.

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Any starships on sensors?

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: None on sensors 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::runs a diagnostic on the device to make sure that it can be used again quickly in the case of an emergency::

CO Capt. Rome says:
FCO: Set a course for Starbase 123, warp 3

FCO Ens. Uax says:
CO: Understood.. :: punches in the coordinates and hits the warp drive :: 

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::keeps an eye on the readings from the long range sensors while the computer runs the diagnostics::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::quietly:: CO: Sir, we will need to establish a protocol... perhaps a safe word that will immediately beam the away team back to the ship and we can make a hasty exit

CO Capt. Rome says:
XO: Agreed, come up with a proposal Commander.

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO/XO: I agree. I think we should say, "Planetessimal tribble". No one uses that phrase by accident.

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Yeah....good times.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CIV/CO: Ok... whatever that implies... ::mutters:: Plantessmimal tribbles? Who would say or see such things?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CSO: Lieutenant, please sync the ship's computers with local stardates and times and make sure we don't give anything away by missing something trivial.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
CO: Aye sir. ::syncs up the computers::

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: What do you suggest when we get there?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::starts searching through his logs to see what he was doing at this time::

CIV Cmdr. Idrani says:
CO: Well as much as I dont like her, she isnt her in this time, if you know what I mean. We should treat her 
like any other Admiral. Maybe we can even trust her in this time?

CO Capt. Rome says:
CIV: Perhaps, we should just book an appointment.
