Last time on the Scimitar...
The pieces that had disabled the Scimitar faded back into place, taking with them the unfortunate CEO.

The XO interrogated Shinra who informed him that she would cooperate and give over her device on the condition that she be released. Shinra told of how the Rishans had one sole device, she had a second, the Scimitar a third and that a fourth device existed somewhere unknown.

While sipping on deliciously made coffee, the bridge crew decided on their next move. To enter the mirror universe...

<<<<<<<Resume Mission - There is No Dark Side of the Moon, Part 8>>>>>>>

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::on the bridge, staring at the Rishan ship:: OPS: Red Alert. Get Cmdr. Ro'kar back up here!

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO: Aye aye Lt. ::signals red alert::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::running to the Bridge, ducking and dodging crewmen like a skilled boxer ::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO: Should I try hailing them?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::rushes to flight control and pushes the duty FCO out of the way before directing the 
ship towards the nebula.::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: No, don't do that. I'm hoping that they haven't noticed us yet.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::collides into the Turbolift:: Computer: Deck 1 Bridge, priority one

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::nods::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: Is the time device still functioning? It doesn't have a cooldown period does it?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::straightens his uniform, catching his breath:: Self: I really need to start training regularly again...

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::takes the ship to full impulse towards the nebula::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO: I am not aware of a cool down time, though I never used it  to jump through 
universes. I will run a scan and see  if anything changed.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and walks as purposefully out the doors:: All: All stations report

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::completes the scan:: CSO: As far as I can tell, the device is ready to be used.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: We have jumped into the mirror universe and straight into the Rishan ship. I'm taking us towards a nearby nebula in the hope that we can hide there, sir.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I don't know anything about their sensors though, sir, so I don't know for sure if the nebula will disrupt them.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::waits for the CSO to give his report first:: XO: We are now at red alert and so far the Rishan vessel showed no sign that it spotted us. The temporal device is fully operational.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Rishan... ship... ::jaw sets tightly:: Helm: Helm continue on the course to the nebula.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Is the ship transmitting any communications?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Keep scanning, the moment that Rishan ship shows any sign of aggression, we jump

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::returns to his station, having directed the Scimitar towards the nebula::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. Jump to where... or when, sir?

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: Scanning ::scans local space and subspace for transmissions::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
Tactical: Tactical, stand down red alert. Go to yellow alert and keep weapons on standby... the Rishans of this universe might even be our ally

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::continues scanning the Rishan ship::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Back to our universe

ACTION: The Scimitar enters the Nebula.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: None that we can detect.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::sets up the device to jump back to their own universe while keeping an eye on sensors::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Understood...

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, sensors are down in here. I can't keep a lock on the Rishan ship.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO: Hopefully they can't get  lock on us either.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::directs the viewscreen to show the Rishan ship ... whatever is visible of it::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Perhaps a probe stationed outside the nebula to act as a listening post would help?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: It might, sir. It might also give away our position as well, though.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO/XO: So, we came to these coordinates because that is where our CEO might have disappeared into. Does that mean he is on that ship?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: That would be logical, I guess. We came through quite quickly after the CEO vanished and sensors didn't register any vessels leaving this area.

SCENE: On screen, a small probe can be seen passing by.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: He might be... ::looks behind him, verifying that Peake is no longer there::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: What was that on the screen?

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::blinks:: All: Was that a  probe? ::tries to match the image to anything on the database::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I'm not sure, sir. I'll try to see if the sensors picked up anything as it passed.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::checks the sensors::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: They could be looking for us.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: Who's smart idea was it to jump blindly into the mirror universe? ::out loud:: OPS: Let's first see if we can identify it

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, it does appear to be a small probe. Sensors picked up a faint Federation signature as it passed us.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO/OPS: Perhaps there is someone else hiding in here?

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO/XO: As far as I recall, there is no Federation here. Though it 
could be stolen technology.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: Very well possible sir.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I could send out a probe of our own in the direction that one came from. We might pick something up.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: How about in the reverse direction to see where it came from

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: That's what I meant, sir. Aye, sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::rubs his temple:: OPS: Did we get any scans from the Rishan ship? How did it compare to the one in our universe?

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::points at the screen:: XO/CSO: Is that ... ours?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::sends a class 1 probe in the direction that the other probe came from::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Might be, tractor it into cargo bay 2

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: Can you tractor the probe in as well? We might get some more answers that way.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::nods at the XO and the CSO:: CSO/XO: I believe I can get both.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::acquires a lock on the probe, then moves it closer to the piece of hull and tractors them back to the ship::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: I've launched our probe, sir. I would expect to lose signal from it before long, though.

ACTION: Tractor successful.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Did you program it to loop back to us after a set period of time?

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO/CSO: The piece of hull and the probe are in cargo bay 2.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: Send a team to investigate the items

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO/CSO: If this hull is drifting here, that means it came from here to our universe. Which means... the Scimitar was broken apart....here....

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::gets lost in thought for a moment, then snaps out of it:: XO: yes sir. ::sends a team to look at the objects::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::quietly launches a second probe with instruction to loop back and hopes the XO doesn't notice::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::swallows hard:: OPS: Understood... perhaps we can date the hull piece

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::looks up from her console, wondering if the others understood what she just said. The Scimitar might have been....will be...destroyed here...now::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::nods:: XO: I will try a chroniton measurement from here.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
OPS: That is a possibility. We don't know if it was something that happened to the Scimitar here or if using the time device in the nebula caused the ship to tear apart.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
OPS: As I said, Lieutenant. Under. Stood. ::doesn't want to think about it::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO:  I agree. And from previous experience, the probe can interact with people who have been exposed to radiation before. There is a lot of radiation in the nebula.

EO Dis'k'over says:
*XO*: Bridge, the probe is from the Scimitar... there's a whole load of schematics of the Rishan ship and a video message.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: Preliminary analysis indicates the debris has been here for about one day.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::blinks::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
*EO*: Upload the schematics to the ship's computers and forward the video message to the Bridge

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO/OPS: Have you been here before?

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
CSO: No, Lieutenant.... never.... I don't think.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::shakes her head::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO: the computer compared the piece oh hull to our own. It is considerably older, though a precise time is difficult.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
XO: Sir, the schematics have been uploaded. I have every detail of the Rishan ship here.

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
CSO/XO: Putting the video message on screen. :: does so::

SCENE: The video begins playing on screen. It is an Ensign flight control officer by the name of Marell.

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::sends the Rishan schematics to tactical::

Ensign Marell says:
All: If you are watching this message it means we were successful. The Rishans took 
our bait and we got the tactical information on their ship. ::pauses::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::thinks:: Self: Where is Rome and I?

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::looks up at the viewscreen at an unfamiliar officer:: OPS: Did that officer join the ship at the same time as you?

Ensign Marell says:
All: Captain Rome.. Ro'Kar... Idrani and Powers all... well, lets just say I am a long way down the command line and I have the bridge.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::turns visibly pale at the message, but listens intently::

Ensign Marell says:
All: The plan was to sacrifice ourselves this time to give you what you need to succeed. ::pauses again::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::stares at the screen, no emotions showing in her face. She blinks from time to time::

Ensign Marell says:
All: Oh, and Shinra... she has two devices, not one. Don't trust her. That's what got us in this mess in the first place. She commands the entire Rishan fleet because she can be in two places at once... literally.

Ensign Marell says:
All: We've done what we can, but ::shakes as they obviously come under fire:: now it's up to you. ::message ends::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
::stares at the screen silently for a moment::

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
::stares blankly at the screen a moment before nodding purposefully::

CSO Lt. Powers says:
::stares at the screen for a while before looking back at the Rishan schematics::

OPS LtJG. Saprin says:
XO/CSO: I guess we will be after Shinra once again.

XO Cmdr. Ro'kar says:
All: Operations, I want that message analysed to be sure it is genuine. Science, get that data integrated into our systems and work with Tactical to get an attack strategy together. Tactical, make sure that Shinra is detained, she is not going anywhere
