Star Trek: Apache 
Episode 24: THE NEEDS OF THE MANY 
Stardate 10210.25

Short over 2 days ago the Starship Apache entered Sol System in Sector 001 for her scheduled shake-down and weapons testing exercises. The tests were delayed due to unexpectedly high neutrino emissions interfering with sensor settings.

In a roller-coaster sequence of events, the Sol star went unexpectedly Nova, blowing its outer shells out and destroying all of the inner planets. Earth, the Terran homeworld and center of Federation power, is now destroyed.

The Apache was able to flee the Armageddon and spotted a sole ion trail leaving the system no more than 2 days earlier. Decided to find out what was going on, the crew set an intercept course to the object. To their surprise and amazement, the cylinder-like object is over 35 Km in length and 10 Km in diameter.

Scans revealed over 900,000,000 Humans on board. A man named Raul, claiming to be the last living man, sent out a distress call as it became obvious the massive ship is continually loosing power

<<<<< RESUME MISSION - Week 4 >>>>>
OPS_Sorsion says:
::sits at operations and prepares the transporters for beaming the AT over::
XO_Storal says:
::On the bridge, sitting at his chair:: CO: Sir I must protest you going on this mission. We are dealing with a potentially hostile and unknown species.
CTO_Yeung says:
::in TR2, making sure the hand phasers are properly set::
FCO_Terman says:
::makes a few minute adjustments to the flight course::
CMO_Naegle says:
::medkit in hand getting ready to go on the away team mission::
CO_Linard says:
::heads to the TL:: CTO/*CMO*/CSO: Meet me in transporter room two for an away team.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::over hears the Commander's suggestion to the Captain and wonders if she'll listen, she's good at that::
CO_Linard says:
::pauses just outside the lift:: XO: That's why I want to go over Commander. I want to know why they did what they did....
CSO_Bern says:
CO: Yes Captain... ::pulls out his tricorder and checks it quickly, before sheathing it and following the Captain to the turbolift::
XO_Storal says:
CO: You could easily have found out that information here.

ACTION: The gigantic ship slowly rovers around herself in the Apache's main viewer. She looks mostly ... dead in space

FCO_Terman says:
::wishes that he could go with them and find out what happened when they do::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::checks the location of the source of the transmission and the general location of Raul to transport the away team over::
CO_Linard says:
::begins to walk into the lift:: XO: Very true, Commander, but I'm still going.... ::nods and gives him a knowing smile::... you have the bridge....
XO_Storal says:
::growls:: CO: Aye ::returns to the command chair::
CO_Linard says:
::smirks to herself as she watches the doors close:: TL: TR2
CSO_Bern says:
::sidesteps into the turbolift and attempts to remain as inconspicuous as possible::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::hears the growl and turns around thinking there may be a targ loose:: Self: Oh. ::turns back around spotting the XO::
CO_Linard says:
::exits the lift and heads into the transporter room::
CTO_Yeung says:
::nods to the captain as she enters and hands her a phaser:: CO: All ready, captain.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Mr. Sorsion, maintain a strong lock on the AT at all times. We may need to pull them out at a moments notice.
CSO_Bern says:
::enters the transporter room silently behind Captain Linard::
CO_Linard says:
::nods to the transporter chief:: TR Chief: Ready when you are.... ::steps onto the padd::.... CSO/CTO: Ready?
CTO_Yeung says:
::hands a phaser to Bern and walks up on the pad::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Aye sir, strong lock, Aye. ::gets a signal from the transporter room:: XO: Away Team ready for beam out.  ::signals the okay and the coordinates to the TR Chief::
CSO_Bern says:
::as un-enthusiastically as possible:: CTO: Thanks... ::checks the settings quickly and steps up on the pad::
XO_Storal says:
::wishes that he still wore a blue uniform and sits down in the command chair::
CTO_Yeung says:
::standing behind the captain on the pad:: CO: Think this is genuine, captain?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::runs a quick diagnostic on the transporter systems before signaling the transporter chief to energize on the team's mark::
CO_Linard says:
::secures her equipment on her belt and gets ready for transport:: CTO: Well, I haven't sensed anything negative Commander...
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Since I don’t think we are going anywhere anytime soon, I want you to continue to analyze that vessel. I know your not a scientist but maybe your familiarization with different ships. You may turn something up
CMO_Naegle says:
::standing on the transporter pad, having run all the way from sickbay::
CO_Linard says:
::gives him a curious look:: CTO: Do you?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Commander, do you believe that it could be a transport ship from Earth? Or perhaps the Mars colony? Wouldn't they have informed us of a mass evacuation?
CO_Linard says:
::nods to the CMO:: CMO: Be prepared for anything, Janet.
CTO_Yeung says:
::shrugs slightly:: CO: Not sure at the moment, but I don't like walking into a trap.
XO_Storal says:
OPS:I don’t think that Starfleet has been working on singularity plants. It may be a transport ship, but not from earth.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: Okay, but I doubt I'll be much use. ::begins a scan of the amazingly large ship::
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods and speaks out of breath:: CO: Aye, Captain.  Sorry I took so long.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: I know its a long shot Mr. Terman, but its worth looking over.
CO_Linard says:
CMO: It's okay, you're here now....

ACTION: The away team is safely beamed into the class-M environment in the vessel. They materialize in what looks like the command room. It's rather badly lit

FCO_Terman says:
::grins:: XO: I'll do my best.
XO_Storal says:
OPS:I do agree with you that Earth would have let everyone know.
CTO_Yeung says:
@::draws his phaser and scrutinizes his surroundings::
CSO_Bern says:
@::immediately takes out his tricorder and begins scanning the immediate area::
CO_Linard says:
@::immediately reaches her mind out to sense what is what in this new environment::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: I doubt Starfleet was the cause, but perhaps they knew. ::receives a transport complete signal:: XO: Transport complete COMM: CO: Apache to Captain Linard, what's your status?
CMO_Naegle says:
@::grabs her tricorder and starts looking for the lifesign they read earlier::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: That’s possible, but with a level 10 shockwave they would have only had about 15 minutes warning.
CO_Linard says:
COMM:OPS: We've materialized safely... stand by Apache.
CO_Linard says:
@::shudders slightly at the overwhelming emptiness she senses::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Besides, the Sol star showed no signs of Nova activity
CSO_Bern says:
@CO: Captain, I've got that lifesign that I picked up before...the blip is weak, but it's there.

ACTION: the deck shudders slightly ... as if it were something large’s footsteps coming closer. Nothing can be seen as the shudders get closer <On the alien vessel>

CO_Linard says:
@CSO: Which direction?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Transport has been successful Commander, standing by for further update from the Away Team. ::ponders these new thoughts:: XO: True, would it be possible to evacuate 900,000,000 people from a planet in mass transit?
CTO_Yeung says:
@::with his other hand, turns on his wrist beacon::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: By conventional means no.. but we are dealing with highly advanced technology here. Perhaps it was a mass transport.
CMO_Naegle says:
@All: What was that shuddering?
CO_Linard says:
@::shakes her head:: CMO: Not sure.... CTO: Do you have anything on that Commander?
CTO_Yeung says:
@::aims his phaser and light on the movement:: CO: Over there!
CSO_Bern says:
@::frowns, as this can't be good:: CO: In the same general direction as that noise.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::gets a console alert from a running program he had set earlier:: XO: Sir, I've found something interesting...
XO_Storal says:
OPS: What is it Mr. Sorsion?
CMO_Naegle says:
@::looks at the direction the CTO is pointing out::
CO_Linard says:
@::looks at the movement in the corner:: Whatever-it-is: Hello? My name is Captain Linard of the USS Apache.... we came here to help you.....
CSO_Bern says:
@::looks up a moment...the blip is getting pretty close::
CTO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Can you ID what's there?
CO_Linard says:
@::begins to move forward, showing that she's not a threat::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::reads from his display:: XO: At some point in time, our flight path has crossed the flight path of the cylinder.  As we were going back into Sol, the point on their flight path we crossed was traveled by them, away from Sol.
FCO_Terman says:
::stares at the results of the scan, which don't seem to spectacular, except for the abnormally large words:: Self: I hate science.

ACTION: Lights come on fully. The AT finds themselves surrounded by mechanic replicas of ancient Earth dinosaur, species Velociraptor. They are all menacing and towering over 3 meters

XO_Storal says:
OPS: That’s correct, What are you getting at. The ship caused the Nova?
CO_Linard says:
@::freezes in her place, determined to show she's not about to wet herself::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::looks up, startled, All: What the . . .?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: The ship had already taken on its passengers, most likely, and was in retreat some time before the star ever went Nova.
CTO_Yeung says:
@::freezes, eyeing the raptors carefully::
CSO_Bern says:
@::stays perfectly still, only diverting his eyes toward his tricorder::
CTO_Yeung says:
@CO: Uh, captain? Orders?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: That sounds feasible, but we need more evidence to correlate your theory. Perhaps the AT can access the ships systems
CO_Linard says:
@::shakes her head:: CTO/CMO/CSO: They can't be real.... I'm not sensing anything from them
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Perhaps they can set up a link and we can use the Apache's computer to speed up the process. I will inform them of our discovery. COMM: CO: Apache to Captain Linard, come in Captain.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Excellent
CSO_Bern says:
@CO:  They're not, Captain... ::swallows, trying to force the lump in his throat back down::  They're definitely robots...powered by small fusion reactors.
FCO_Terman says:
::makes it look like he's making some progress, although he's mostly stumped by what it all is supposed to mean::
CTO_Yeung says:
@CO: We won't be able to take them all out in a fight...
CO_Linard says:
@::furrows her brow muttering:: Self: Curious.... very curious.....
CMO_Naegle says:
@CO/CTO/CSO: So what happened to the 900 million humans?
CO_Linard says:
@COM:OPS: Linard here.
Voice says:
@ All: Who in the universe are you? ::coming from the darkness::
CSO_Bern says:
@CTO: Commander, their outer shell appears to be some kind of ablative armor. I doubt the phasers would so much as scratch them...  ::glances up a moment, as they don't seem to be moving::
XO_Storal says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Mr Terman have you found anything? Even a smidgen of data would be of help.
CO_Linard says:
@Voice: As I said before, I am Captain Linard of the USS Apache. We received your distress call and we're here to help
FCO_Terman says:
XO: I've found out that I'm not made out to be a scientist, does that help at all?
OPS_Sorsion says:
COMM: CO: We have found some new information Captain, It appears that we intersected the flight path of the alien vessel approximately two days ago.
Voice says:
@ CO: what's a 'starship'? Where did you came from?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO:/COMM: CO: In fact, now that I run it through the time difference, it was the precise time of the hiccup we experienced.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: And there's something called a quantum vibration bias, if you know what that is.
CTO_Yeung says:
@CO: How about giving the full diplomatic greeting, captain?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::listens astutely to the sounds coming from the Captain's side of the transmission and replays them on the loud speakers on the bridge::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Make it so
CO_Linard says:
@::unsure how to answer but tries her best:: Voice: A starship... a vessel that travels through space.... very much like your own....
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Quantum vibration bias?
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Oh displacement on a quantum level.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: I don't have any clue about what it means. I'm just reading what it says right here. ::points at the words 'quantum vibration bias' on his LCARS::
CMO_Naegle says:
::listens to the captain talk to the "creatures"::
Voice says:
@ CO: That cannot be. There's no other ships than Noah ::steps closer to the circle of dinossaurs around the AT::
CO_Linard says:
@Voice: We come from a planet we call Earth.... the very one that was...destroyed when you drew the energy from the sun
XO_Storal says:
::puts a hand on Terman's shoulder:: FCO: Your doing fine Mr. Terman
CSO_Bern says:
@::reasons that if the metal...things, wanted to do anything to them, they would've by now...relaxes somewhat and tries to scan in the area of the voice, instead::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Run a simulation, I want to know what effect a quantum phase would have on the Sol star.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO/FCO: A different dimension ... Power drains, By George... ::listens to the Captain talking to the voice and suddenly it all becomes clear:: XO/FCO: The ship must have dimension shifted by the Sol Star, and shifted the balance of its outer corona causing it to collapse on itself and cause a super nova!
CO_Linard says:
@::looks beyond the dinosaurs, trying to find the source of the voice:: Voice: Are you... Raul?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: More like a hyper nova.
Voice says:
@ ::gets stressed and the dinos follow it up, roaring at the AT:: CO: How do you dare accuse me? Are you implying I destroyed my homeworld?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: But you are correct
OPS_Sorsion says:
::tilts his head:: XO: Sir?
FCO_Terman says:
::nods along, pretending to know what Sorsion is talking about:: OPS: It's so simple when you put it that way.
CTO_Yeung says:
@::keeps his trigger thumb ready in case things go sour::
CSO_Bern says:
@::starts, not expecting anything of that sort::
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: Did you really understand? Did you? ::chuckles::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::jumps slightly and gets in a defensive position as the dinos get ugly::
Raul says:
@ CO: Indeed I'm Raul, the Last. And you can't be from Earth.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: The power readings of the nova indicate a substantially higher output of gamma radiation
CO_Linard says:
@::remains calm as the dinos scream at them:: Voice: That was by no means an accusation, merely an observation. We've been following your ion trail for a number of days now. We know your ship is dying.
FCO_Terman says:
::nods innocently at Sorsion::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Which could be caused by a star going super nova in an alternate dimension, very close to ours, couldn't it? Which could have triggered the vessel's appearance in our solar system, which in turn caused our star to go Nova.

ACTION: a man steps into the light, breaking the circle of dinos. He appears late 40, early 50. However, his face reveal the pain of one that has lost everything, his world included. The burden in his soul appears to glow into Linard's mind

CO_Linard says:
@::smiles and holds out her hand:: Raul: It's good to meet you Raul. My name is Kathleen
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Exactly, Except the Sol star went quickly, without warning. That’s what a hyper nova is defined as
CTO_Yeung says:
@::eyes the man carefully::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: The Sol system had no warning
FCO_Terman says:
OPS: So Sol, in some other dimension, went nova, causing the Sol in our dimension, and all other dimensions close to ours to go nova?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods a few times understandingly:: XO: By george I think we've solved our mystery, How do we correct it?
Raul says:
@::looks in awe at them:: All: you seem real. I thought I was going crazy. But how can it be? Out of the 900 million survivors sleeping throughout Noah, there was no one left behind when ... when ... when Earth died ::voice trails off::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Elementry Mr. Sorsion.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: That’s correct.
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: I don't believe any other dimensions lost their Sol star, I believe that the close proximity of the dimensions between the vessel's dimension and ours, and his star going nova, caused his vessel to dimension shift to our own. Then by his own proximity to our sun, he, not the other sun, caused the star to go nova.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: That’s the thing. Unless it was a temporal thing, there is no way to reverse the effect that I know of.
XO_Storal says:
::paces the bridge and runs a few calculations in his head.::
CTO_Yeung says:
@::wonders what the heck is going on:: Raul: Say, uh, what's the stardate now?
CO_Linard says:
@::continues to smile warmly:: Raul: I assure you we are very much real.... could you tell me how Earth died?
CMO_Naegle says:
@::smiles at Raul and takes out her medical tricorder::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Unless we could send the vessel thru the same point that it came into this dimension.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::ponders this anomaly and wonders:: XO: What good would that do?
Raul says:
@CTO: Stardate? I don't know what's that. It's 2378 now
FCO_Terman says:
::looks at his console and sees something flashing:: XO/OPS: Uh ... Is it normal for a quantum bias thingy to change?
CO_Linard says:
@::whispers to the CTO:: CTO: Commander, see if you can find out what caused the dimensional shift. Find out how we can shift back
CTO_Yeung says:
@::mutters to himself:: Self: At least it ain't time travel...
XO_Storal says:
OPS: There is a slight chance.... extremely slight chance that it will repair the damage.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Which change?
OPS_Sorsion says:
FCO: Come again? XO: Wouldn't that mean also that there is a quantum fissure between realities?
Raul says:
@::as he takes a breath to respond to Linard, Raul seems to age centuries:: CO: In a way you can tell we were the responsible for it ::sighs::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::discreetly does some medical scans on Raul::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Yes. Scan for a quantum tear. If its there you should see it?
CO_Linard says:
@::nods:: Raul: Yes, we've determined that from our ship's sensors.
FCO_Terman says:
XO/OPS: Says here that our quantum bias is... adjusting to match that of the colony ship.
XO_Storal says:
FCO/OPS: That would mean that we were pulled into their dimension, not the other way around
CTO_Yeung says:
@::leans over to the CSO:: CSO: Captain says there could've been a dimensional shift. Any theory on how that could have happened?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::runs a thorough scan of the system and the point at which they intersected the alien vessel::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::whispers to the captain:: CO: He's healthy, And I am seeing quantum vibrations.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: So... if we went through the quantum tear we'd come back to our dimension?
Raul says:
@ All: it all begun around 2061, after World War 3
CO_Linard says:
@::nods:: CMO: See if you can detect the status of the rest of the lives on this ship.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Yes, but we need them to quantum jump as well, It would seal the tear
CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods and moves away from the group scanning for the other lifesigns::
FCO_Terman says:
XO: But didn't you just say that we were taken into their dimension?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Can you pinpoint the exact position?
CSO_Bern says:
@CTO: Well...I don't know. Not without looking at the bigger picture...and some sensor logs...
Raul says:
@::overhears the Captain' orders:: CO/CMO: no need to check ::inputs some commands in his belt::
XO_Storal says:
FCO: Yes, but with just us leaving the tear would still be there
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: I can pin point the position at which we intersected the alien vessel, that would be consistent to the time that the star went nova, and follow the logic of hyper acceleration as we were brought to their quantum reality.
CMO_Naegle says:
@::looks up as Raul speaks::
CO_Linard says:
@::waits to see what Raul is going to do::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO/FCO: Is there another way to seal a quantum tear?
CSO_Bern says:
@::rubs his chin:: CTO: Although, there are only two possibilities given such a reading...either we crossed into their dimension, or they crossed into ours. ::shrugs::  That's all I can tell from here.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: The only way to seal the tear is to have them quantum jump

ACTION: the dinos wander away, while the aft wall of the command room slides open to each side. A cavernous compartment is revealed behind the transparent wall. It goes all the kilometers to the bottom of Noah

OPS_Sorsion says:
XO/FCO: Other than attempting for them to pass through as well, which may or may not seal the gap. ::runs heavy scans on the region that they intersected the trail::
CTO_Yeung says:
@::slips his phaser back into its holster as the dinos walk away::
XO_Storal says:
FCO: At the same time we exit the tear
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: Storal to Captain Linard.
CTO_Yeung says:
@CSO: We probably jumped into their universe. We did see Earth get destroyed, and that fits with his story.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: How would we get them to Quantum jump?
CMO_Naegle says:
@::looks around:: CO: That is incredible!
CO_Linard says:
@::stares in awe at the huge cavern::
CO_Linard says:
@CTO/CSO/CMO: Oh my.....
Raul says:
@All: here are they...the last survivors of a forever lost planet, all 900 millions of them ::gestures across the transparent wall, at the cryogenic compartments filling up all the walls in the 10 Km arc of Noah’s interior::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: That’s what we need to have the Captain relay to the other ship.
CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods:: CO: My thoughts exactly.
CTO_Yeung says:
@::stares down in the cavern:: Self: Whoa...
CO_Linard says:
@::blindly taps her badge:: COM: XO: Linard Here....::voice trails off to a whisper::
Raul says:
@Self: If it weren't for Cochrane's crazy experiments....::sighs out loud::
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: Sir we believe we know how we got here and a means to return to our dimension.
CTO_Yeung says:
@::turns to Bern:: CSO: Say, do you think that hiccup the engines suffered when we were heading to Earth might be linked to our jumping universes?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and acknowledges the Commander's statement turning back to his neglected console and checks the transporter lock of the Away Team::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Give Mr Terman the coordinates of the tear.
CO_Linard says:
@::looks at him curiously:: Raul: Cochrane?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and waves the FCO back to the helm and sends the coordinates to his console::
CSO_Bern says:
@::looks down into the cavern from behind Commander Yeung:: CTO: Well, it is possible.  We dropped from warp, and lost the warp field...lots of unpredictable things happen when something like that occurs while traveling in subspace.
FCO_Terman says:
::heads back to helm, not really appreciation the OPS officers wave::
CO_Linard says:
@Raul: Where I come from, Zephram Cochrane was responsible for the birth of the Federation... the very means by which we're here right now...
CMO_Naegle says:
@:: Looks incredulous at Raul:: All: Cochrane.
Raul says:
@::raises eyebrow at Captain:: CO: Yes, Zephram Cochrane. Do you know him? The man that created the solar fusion inhibitor missile that caused the sun to go nova?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::types up a report of the current hypothesis developed by the XO, FCO and himself and transmits it to all the Away Team's tricorders making them beep to acknowledge the acceptance::
CTO_Yeung says:
@Raul: Your Cochrane did that? Ours developed warp drive, allowing us to create a new civilization.
CO_Linard says:
@::smiles slightly and nods understandingly:: Raul: Yes, we know him. He has made quite a different impact in our universe.
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: Sir?
Raul says:
@CTO: Warp drive? what's that? After we found out the ultimate consequences of Cochrane's experiment, we barely had time to build Noah so a part of Manking could survive the nova. We made it with only 2 days to spare, after centuries of work
CO_Linard says:
@COM:XO: Go ahead Commander....
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: You didn’t acknowledge my first transmission Sir, We have found a theory as to why we are here.
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: I believe that Mr. Sorsion transmitted our findings to your tricorders
CTO_Yeung says:
@Raul: Warp drive allows us to bypass Einsteinian laws and travel at speeds faster than light. Your Cochrane sounds like a real jerk. What did he hope to accomplish?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods at the commander's statement and monitors the power flow of the ship's systems and the power flow of the alien ship's systems::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::notes her tricorder as she hears the XO::CO: I have it here, Captain.
CO_Linard says:
@::motions to the CTO and the CSO to check their tricorders for the information::
Raul says:
@All: everything was going as scheduled, but 2 days ago, the singularity propulsion went unstable and began loosing power. Noah awaked me to check. As far as I could determine, the only thing that could have caused the damage would be the exhaust of a matter/antimatter engine, but that does not exists ... ::is at a loss::
CTO_Yeung says:
@::pulls out his tricorder and begins scanning::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::overhears Raul's statement over the comm:: XO: Sir... Did you hear?
CSO_Bern says:
@::wonders whether he should mention the Apache uses a matter/antimatter power supply...keeps his mouth shut::
CO_Linard says:
@::shake her head in awe then turns to the CTO and CSO:: CTO/CSO: Do you think you can make that repair?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Yes Lt. I did
CTO_Yeung says:
@::glances to CSO:: CO: We'd need to take a look at the tech they used, but we should be able to fix it.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: That could mean that we were pulled in at another time prior to crossing paths with 'Noah'...
CSO_Bern says:
@::looks up at the Captain, away from his tricorder:: CO: I'm afraid I know next to nothing about the engineering of it...but if it's an artificial singularity, I should be able to monitor things and assist...  ::nods slightly::
Raul says:
@CTO: We never got to know. Cochrane only did was he deemed fit, no matter the consequences, he only acted in what he called the spirit of experimentation and discovery
Raul says:
@Self: I just wish he had lived to tell that to the 8 billions we left behind on Earth ::voice trails off::
CO_Linard says:
@Raul: Matter/antimatter is the very heart of our own propulsion. We could fix that for you if you show us where your engines are.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: Might this tear close any time soon, sir?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Interesting FCO: I doubt that Mr. Terman, If Raul's statement is correct
Raul says:
@CO: You must be kidding me. Your ship is powered by M/AM engines? ::astonished::
CO_Linard says:
@::whispers:: CMO: This is all so overwhelming....
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Actually, sir, strike that.... Our ion trail could have seeped between quantum realities and once the singularity propulsion engine went unstable, that could have either A) caused the tear which we fell through, B) fragmented quantum realities between our dimensions in a period of space within 2 days travel and pulled us in or C) cause us and only us to be pulled in.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: I hope for our sakes that it doesn't decided to defy the laws of quantum tears.
CMO_Naegle says:
@::whispers back:: CO: That it is, I hope Yeung and Bern can figure out a way to help us out of this.
Raul says:
@::goes over to a panel and inputs some commands:: CO: Noah's computers have theorized that our engines could be stabilized by this crystalline structure ::an image shows up::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Something would have had to be the catalyst.. Our ion trail wouldn’t cause it alone
CO_Linard says:
@::nods her head:: Raul: Yes, in our universe, Cochrane had the basis for creating it....
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Perhaps the singularity engine of theirs caused a tear, or the nova in combination?
CTO_Yeung says:
@::leans in to take a look:: Raul: No problem, Raul. One set of dilithium crystal coming up.
CO_Linard says:
@::smiles:: CTO/CSO/CMO: This should be very simple for us to repair....
CMO_Naegle says:
@::nods and smiles:: CO: I hope so, sir.
CO_Linard says:
@CTO: Have the Apache transport the dilithium right to us and begin the repairs....
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Most likely a combination
Raul says:
@::is marveled:: CO: Yes? The computer has estimated the amount necessary for the repair ::inputs the numbers:: However we need that done in under 1 hour or the engines won't restart
CTO_Yeung says:
@CO: Aye, aye, captain.
CO_Linard says:
@CSO: Mr. Bern, you help him.....
CSO_Bern says:
@::absently:: CO: Yes Captain.
CO_Linard says:
@COM:XO: Commander, begin preparations to return to our own universe once we've completed repairs to this vessel.
CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: Sir, The quantum vibrations are getting similar as time passes.  If we don't get out of here quickly, we'll be trapped.
XO_Storal says:
COM:CO: Preparations have already been made, we just need the word Sir.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::monitors the communications line on both ends and waits on input from either side::
CTO_Yeung says:
@COMM: Apache: OPS: Lt. Sorsion, can you have engineering send over several spare dilithium and engineering tools.
CO_Linard says:
@CMO: I'd like for you to oversee Raul's return to stasis once their ship is ready.
CSO_Bern says:
@::looks at his tricorder again:: CTO: Sir, I think we'll need an awful lot of dilithium for this repair...how much does the Apache carry?
CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: Aye, Sir.
CO_Linard says:
@CMO: How long do we have?
CO_Linard says:
@CTO: How long do you think it will take to repair?
CMO_Naegle says:
@CO: Less than an hour, sir.
OPS_Sorsion says:
COMM: CTO: Acknowledged Commander, placing a requisition for five dilithium crystals plus casing to be transported to your location along with three engineers and five sets of tool kits to handle the dilithium. May I ask what else you will need? ::places the order and waits for confirmation::
CTO_Yeung says:
@CO: We'll have to rush things, but we can do it under an hour.
CO_Linard says:
@CTO: Make it so...
CTO_Yeung says:
@COMM: OPS: That's all, Lt. Thanks.
CSO_Bern says:
@::accesses the Apache's inventory:: CO: Captain...according to my calculations, we're going to need every last dilithium crystal stored on the Apache to make this work...  ::pales slightly::
CMO_Naegle says:
@::heaves a sigh of relief for a minute but knows that even the best workers can only do so much::
CTO_Yeung says:
@COMM: OPS: One change. Better send over all of our spare dilithium.
CO_Linard says:
@CSO: Are you sure?
CSO_Bern says:
@CO: Yes, I'm quite sure...you know what that means, of course...?
OPS_Sorsion says:
COMM: CTO: Acknowledged, this order has a few delivery options, would you like, Standard, Priority, or Over-Night shipping? ::receives confirmation from the engineers and toolkits are ready for transport and waits for the dilithium to be prepped and ready:: COMM: CTO: That is inadvisable sir, we need at least one crystal for emergency purposes.
CTO_Yeung says:
@CSO: Even the ones in the core??
