Last time on the Scimitar...
After a surprise attack on the Rishan ship, the Scimitar crew manage to lower the massive Rishan's ship's shields long enough to beam the time device off the ship. As the device appears in the Scimitar's cargo hold, the Rishan ship disappears. The crew is now still in the mirror universe, with the Rishan ship's time device, their own device, Shinra's device and a mind-bonded OPS officer.

<<<<<<<Resume Mission -  There is No Dark Side of the Moon, Part 11>>>>>>>

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks over the medical readouts in the Brig... now temporarily a sickbay::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
:: half running half walking back to the Brig :: Self: Who needs dedicated workout time with a crew like this?

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::chases Shinra and her briefcase into what she hopes is an empty holodeck: a dead end::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::enters Sick- the Brig:: CO: You can get back to the Bridge, sir.

CO Capt Rome says:
XO: Thank you Commander. If she starts showing danger signs, have them seperated. Keep me informed of any changes.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::on the bridge, setting up the time device to jump back to where the CO wanted to go::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
CO: Aye, Captain ::takes a seat next to Saprin and looks at the readouts on the monitor::

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Saprin and Shinra in the Brig, locked in a mindmeld:: Self: Godspeed, lieutenant.

CO Capt Rome says:
::walks out into the hallway and taps his commbadge:: *CIV*: Commander Idrani, report to the Bridge.

ACTION: Saprin enters a strange looking room. It is half holodeck interlaced with glowing red panels. The rest of the created world drains away. One Shinra stands in front of Saprin and another behind her.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
*CO*: On my way, Jonathan.

CO Capt Rome says:
Turbolift: Bridge.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::studies the readings, wondering if there is a way to influence the mind-meld::

CO Capt Rome says:
::steps out onto the Bridge and walks over to Powers::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::looks at the woman in front of her, this time ignoring the scenery. She senses movement behind her back and turns ... the other one. She steps back, forming a triangle with them:: Shinras: All I want are those time devices.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Report, Lieutenant.

Shinra says:
::together, in sync:: OPS: Why?

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::enters the bridge::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I'm ready to activate the device on your order, sir.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::looks from one to the other:: Shinras: For the same reason people want what they do. Survival. And I can garantee yours too. Just tell me where your other device is.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: I feel better waiting here until we know more...I'm afraid we don't have all the pieces yet.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Stand by, until then keep an eye on the surrounding area.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Thalev, thanks for coming.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::monitors long range senors::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: What can I do for you, apart from a massage which you can ask someone else for.

ACTION: The red panels glow hotter. Both Shinras look distorted, their faces almost as liquid.

CO Capt Rome says:
::leans closer:: CIV: When did I promote him, according to your timeline? ::looks over at Powers manning his station::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::gets up and checks the readings from Shinra's brainwaves:: Self: You'd think we would have figured out a way to 'see' into a mind-meld.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: I think the correct answer is, 'soon'.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::looks up:: Self: Something is wrong ... ::runs to one of the Shinras and shouts:: Shinra: Where is it?

CO Capt Rome says:
::strokes his beard absent mindedly::

Shinra says:
OPS: Even water can destroy the strongest rock, given enough time.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: We have all the devices except Shrinra's.

ACTION: Even though she runs to the Shinra's, Saprins distance remains the same.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Shinra. Shin...ra. Not Shrinra, not shirna. Shinra.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Ah, yes. I'm sorry. That is what's important. ::smiles at his old friend:: CIV: She's still a wildcard. If we jump back now, what happens? ::stands up:: CSO: What's your input, Lieutenant ?

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::stops as she sees it is getting her nowhere:. Once again she looks at the glowing red pannels and tries to imagine them cooling down. Then looks back at one of the women:: Shinra: I can help you. All you have to do is tell me where the device is. Whatever the Rishans promised you, it is not worth what you are doing.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: As long as there is another device out there, we are still at risk. We need to do what we can to get the last one away from Shinra. How is the mind meld going, sir?

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Not so good from what I've seen, Mr. Powers...

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::frowns at the scans, Saprin's heart rate has increased:: OPS: Keep going, Lieutenant, what ever you are doing...keep... trying.

Shinra says:
OPS: It would cost me my life.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::pauses:: CO: Look what happened when we took the Rishan device.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks over at Idrani::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
Shinra: No, it would save you ....both of you. Starfleet can make sure you are safe. 

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: In that case, we need to figure out a time when we know that Shinra has the device with her and try to intercept her at that moment. CIV: Sir, when did you first come across Shinra with a time device?

ACTION: The room Saprin is in twists and turns into a new shape, the red panels now blue and cold.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO/CSO: It's hard to say but I think near enough to stardate ::says a stardate::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::looks up at the change, still feeling uncomfortable with the extremes::

Shinra says:
OPS: No.

ACTION: The room quickly starts shrinking. Saprin can feel the pressure against her body.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV/CSO: You suggest we try intercepting her then?

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: The Rishan ship disappeared when we took the device because the bubble was broken. We have Shinra, which means one of two things.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::reaches out with his hand to touch Saprin, halting just before doing so and shakes his head:: OPS: Come on, you can do it... whatever it is... ::grits his teeth::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::feels the room shrinking and battles to keep breathing, even though it is all in her head:: Shinra: If you are afraid one of you will disappear from existence if we get both devces, don't. Both your minds are here, I can merge them. I can help you. What are the Rishans offering you that we can't?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: If we jump to that stardate, we mightbe able to obtain the last device, although there's no guarantee that she will show up after what we have done.

CO Capt Rome says:
::considers it::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Would double the chances of getting Shinra's device if we attack from two fronts.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: I think it's worth a try, sir... unless the mind-meld gives us a better answer.

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Idrani for his input::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::fights the room shrinking around her, by imagining it expanding again::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CO: Either one, she is within the bubble of a time device or two, she is from this time and space.

ACTION: Finally the room opens again, with just one Shinra in view.

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: So what do you suggest?

CSO Lt Powers says:
CIV: It makes sense for her to be from this time and space as we know that she entered our universe from this location.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
CSO: Can we deactivate devices completely?

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::instinctively raises her head and breathes normally again:: Shinra: It is easier to think with one mind, isn't it? The temporal device. Where is it?

Shinra says:
::simply looks at her::

ACTION: A shadow of the other Shinra with a clock can be seen in the far distance.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CIV: We could take them apart. I doubt they would remain active if they were in pieces.

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods:: CO/CSO: I wish I had a solution.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
Shinra: Except... where is your mind really? ::walks towards the shadow with the clock and speaks up to it:: Shinra: Time is a very special dimension isn't it? It gives you a sense of power. But it also shows you that everything is relative, and everything can be undone. Even what you did. Lets end this madness!

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Have you department take them apart and store them seperately.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: We're going to need our device to get back home, sir.

Shinra says:
::turns to Saprin with a confused look::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: And prepare to jump us to Stardate (stardate)...

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: I meant the other devices.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::moves to the hypospray tray and prepares a dosage of Cortical Analeptic and a seperate dosage of Losorin :: Self: Just in case... ::casts a wary glance at Shinra::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::sends an order to his department to dismantle the spare devices::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::looks at the confused Shinra and at the shadow. Which is the real mind? Which has the information she needs. She walks back to the confused Shinra and tries to hold her hands:: Shinra: I can help you. Just tell me where I can find the device.

Shinra says:
OPS: I don't need help. Even water can destroy rock, given enough time. I just need more time.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
Shinra: To do what?

Shinra says:
OPS: To win!

ACTION: Both Shinra's leap on Saprin. Saprins life signs jump about erratically.

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Prepare to jump to the stardate provided by Commander Idrani.

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::eyes widen:: Aloud: No... no.. no! ::grabs the Losorin vial:: OPS: Fight it!

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::sits down::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::rolls her eyes right before she is jumped on. As the women approach her, she imagines herself with two phasers and tries to run back:: Shinras: You will never win.

Shinra says:
OPS: You don't even know what game is being played.

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::sets up the time device as instructed::

CO Capt Rome says:
CSO: Jump.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
Shinra: We don't know all the rules, but we catch up fast. Look how far we got. We will make it without your help. But I would rather it was with ... it would save ...time

ACTION: Saprin, try as she might, can't fight back two minds. One of the Shinra's knocks Saprin over to the deck.

CSO Lt Powers says:
::activates the device::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::goes sliding on the floor, trying to control her fall and then she tries to imagine a sound-proof box around one of the Shinras. If only she could block one of the minds....::

Shinra says:
::shouting at Saprin as she pushes down on her face:: OPS: They'll never get you back! Never! Never! There is no more life, no more time!

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::kicks the other woman and pushes her hand away. For a moment, Shinra's anger opens a gap in her thoughts. Their eyes meet and she sees it::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::hovers over Saprin with the hypospray, watching the monitor closely::

CSO Lt Powers says:
CO/CIV: That should have worked... I'll try again. ::makes sure it's plugged in before activating the device again::

CO Capt Rome says:
::looks at Powers annoyed::

ACTION: Jump completes.

CO Capt Rome says:
::stands up:: CSO: Good job, scan the surrounding area.

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::as she realizes there is nothing else she can get from Shinra, she returns her mind to her normal state, and opens her eyes. Looking at the XO for a moment::

CSO Lt Powers says:
::runs sensor sweeps of the surrounding area::

CO Capt Rome says:
CIV: Take over the conn, you've been here before. Take us to Shinra.

Shinra says:
::realises she has lost, and screams::

CIV Cmdr Idrani says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Sir. ::Takes the conn and enters coordinates::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
OPS: Lieutenant? ::smiles nervously::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::she sits up in the biobed, loosing control. She starts crying::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
::she then turns to laughing loudly and hugs the XO, whispering in his ear::

OPS LtJG Saprin says:
XO: There is no 4th device ::collapses  on the bed asleep::

XO Cmdr Ro`kar says:
::stands there, shocked and speechless:: OPS: That's go- Oh... ::notices she has fallen asleep:: Um, ok, great job we can discuss this later perhaps?
