USS Apache
Mission #212
10403.26
"Lost & Found"

Prologue: As the rift comes to a close, the USS Apache emerges from her in a flash of light. She creeps along carefully.... unsure of where she is or what time she's in... the crew springs to life and instantly sets in to work. Right away, the first thing that shows on sensors is the just decloaking Romulan space station nearby.

         <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Storal says:
::sits in the command chair waiting for some good news::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::on standby in the armoury::

FCO_Ilianor says:
::exhales, as the Apache slips forward and out into normal space:: CO: We're clear of the rift, sir...

EO_McGuyver says:
::on the Bridge maning Tactical::

CSO_Marsland says:
::taps away at his console to run a full spectrum scan of the sector::

CNS_Solaa says:
::opens her eyes tentitively::

EO_McGuyver says:
::scans for anything::

XO_Naegle says:
::sits in her chair on the bridge:: *Department Heads*: This is Commander Naegle, I want damage and casualty reports within the hour.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Where are we Lieutenant?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the Romulan space station is here. It just decloaked. ::adds:: CO: Checking now Sir.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
*XO*: Security teams standing by, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::pouts:: CO: And I SO wanted it to be Betazed...

XO_Naegle says:
*SEC*: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: What?!

EO_McGuyver says:
ALL: We are not in Kansas anymore.

FCO_Ilianor says:
::clears his throat, as he frowns, checking his sensors:: CO: Scanning for navigational buoys, sir... but confirmed, I see the Romulan space station decloaking as well.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Tactical Orders?

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: Have you checked in with your department crew, Counselor?

Host CO_Storal says:
*EO*: Red Alert

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Anyone have any theories on what TIME we are in?

EO_McGuyver says:
::hits red alert::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Captain, ship approaching, just coming up on long range sensors now!

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Can you identify the ship?

CNS_Solaa says:
::hits buttons on her console sending a message to her junior counselors:: XO: I have now, sir.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Shall I give a warning shot?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, looks like the station went to full alert as it decloaked. ::turns:: CO: They know we're here, sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Negative

XO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CNS: Good job.  I think we might need them all once this is over with.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Also Sir, we are back in our timeline.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO/FCO: Where are we? Are we in the Neutral Zone?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: It's... I don't understand. Her transponder signature is identical to ours... it's the Apache.

EO_McGuyver says:
::scans the ship::

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: How is that possible?

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Are you sure?

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: The APACHE???

Sec_Abbott says:
Khora: Have you checked in with the teams in the brig?

CSO_Marsland says:
::does a scan of the approaching ship::

CNS_Solaa says:
::rolls eyes:: Great... we meet ourselves again...

EO_McGuyver says:
SELF: This is confusing.

FCO_Ilianor says:
XO/CO: I... I don't know, sir. But it's confirmed, she's definitely registering as the Apache. It doesn't look as if it is falsified - but that is always a possibility.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
Sec_Abbott: Affirmative. The brig staff are on standby.

Host CO_Storal says:
::thinks a minute:: CSO: Does that Apache match the quantum differential of the anomaly?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, current location is still the Neutral Zone, approximately where we had been previously.  The time is about 3 minutes before our original Apache was destroyed, which explains why we're seeing.. ourselves, Sir.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We should save it.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Are we ever going to get out of this perpetual loop?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: So what's that mean for when they go into the rift?

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: It is a possibility.

Action: LRS instantly detects a suspace differential and the Romulan warbird appears right behind the Apache, her weapons powered and ready to fire...

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We could save our ship, Sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Fire on the Warbird!

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We're not in range, Sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: I reccommend saving the ship Sir. If we do so, it'll be like none of this happened. ::looks at his panel:: CO: Sir, Romulan Warbird decloaking behind the Apache!

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Hail the Apache!

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Warbird? Where did it come from???

CSO_Marsland says:
::waits to watch his own ship's death again::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: I agree, I was thinking the same thing.

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: It's just on long range sensors, Counselor. Probably came from Romulan space.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We must increase speed for range.

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Engage an intercept course.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO/CO: But... don't we HAVE to let them go through the rift, so that we can be at this moment in time to... to destroy the rift station? Yikes... Hailing the Apache, sir, and engaging an intercept course!

EO_McGuyver says:
::prepares to fire all weapons::

Host CO_Storal says:
COM: Apache: Captain of the Apache.. raise shields!

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: It's true Lieutenant, that we wouldn't know about the Romulans exploiting time travel, but we would know that they attempted to destroy us, which should prompt our questioning crew to figure out the rest.

CNS_Solaa says:
::exasperated sigh:: Self: This is all one big headache... a headache spanning three dimensions...

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::admires D'Laynas figure as she berates an Ensign for sloppy posture::

Action: As if watching it happen on a movie screen the Warbird fires on the original Apache, taking out most of her aft nacelles... the cascade effect is slow, but it isn't long before the pods are deployed and the warbird recloaks again....

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We lost her...

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Let's avenge her.

XO_Naegle says:
::watching sensors:: CO: Oh no!  The pods deployed!

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Can you remotely dump thier core!

Sec Abbott says:
::finishes yelling at the Ensign then looks to her husband:: Khora: Why do you look at me like that? She is slack in her duty...

CSO_Marsland says:
::watches his own ship be destroyed again:: CO: Sir, now my only reccommendation is to let the pods go into the rift. We can take care of the station and that way, there will only be one Apache crew in this timeline.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the ship is gone...

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: But is the rift dependent on the station being intact? If we destroy it while the pods have entered the rift, will the rift still exist for us to exit?

XO_Naegle says:
CO: This is a never ending cycle, isn't it?

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Or... I guess, for them... or us... or... to exit?

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: How about we pick them up?

Action: The pods begin to drift in various directions.... none of them even heading for the rift...

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Good point. But what else could we do?

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: Why don't you take OPS, Counselor? You have the experience.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
SEC_Abbott: I wish you would talk to me like that. ::grins at her for a quick moment::

CSO_Marsland says:
::sends a signal to the other Apache, using his access codes to try to remotely control the ship::

CNS_Solaa says:
::mischievous smile:: XO: I was wondering when I would say something...

CNS_Solaa says:
::gets up and takes up OPS::

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: I'm afraid so, CSO: If we destroy the station would that revert everything back to normal?

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We could destroy the rift.

Sec Abbott says:
::lets out a sigh and turns away:: Khora: I.... apologize.... being alone in the wilderness for over 6 months will make you forget much....

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: You just might have to transfer back!  That is, after this mission. ::grins::

Host CO_Storal says:
EO:That wouldn't do anything. We need to stop this from starting.

CSO_Marsland says:
CSO: That's a tough call Sir. With everything that has been affecting space-time right now, I don't believe that I could extrapolate the outcome. ::sighs:: CO: I'm sorry Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::laughs:: XO: Nope. I like my job. Being backup OPS is nice, though.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO:We could go back in time and prevent the destruction through a time warp of some sort.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::spoken quietly:: SEC_Abbott: Perhaps you just need ...reminding.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: The worst that would happen is that we are wiped out of existence, but the galaxy would be saved.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: I see. Is there evidence of the temporal field generator on that station?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::turns as he overhears a snigger:: Ens_Tito: Something funny, Ensign?

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans the station::

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: Plus... medical green looks better on me anyway! ::smiles::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Not if we don't know if the Temporal field generator is destryoed.

Ens Tito says:
SEC_Lt_K`hora: No, sir.

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: Well, we really do appreciate your help.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: There was in the other timeline, but scanning now Sir.

XO_Naegle says:
::listens with interest at the CO and CSO::

Action: The Apache explodes, ring-like shockwave, knocking the pods off their erratic course and driving them all toward the rift.

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: There they go...

Host CO_Storal says:
::slams his fist into his console in frustration::

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: She is officially out of here.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: I have a suggestion.

XO_Naegle says:
CNS: Glad it's not us this time, but dang!  What a waste!

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: What is it Mr. McGuyver?

Action: A Romulan warbird decloaks off Apache's port bow.

CNS_Solaa says:
::nods slowly:: XO: Yes.. it is truely a waste...

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: We go back in time and warn ourselves.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, we have a couple choices. We can destroy the station and see what happens. Or.. we could fly back through the rift and.. Sir, Romulan ship decloaking off the port bow.

XO_Naegle says:
EO: Are you serious?

CNS_Solaa says:
EO: Stop talking nonesense McGuyver! We'll screw up the timeline!

FCO_Ilianor says:
::gasps:: CO: Taking evasive action, sir!

EO_McGuyver says:
::targets all weapons::

Sec Abbott says:
::growls softly:: Khora: I have... missed you, Par'Mach'ay..

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Hold your fire!

EO_McGuyver says:
ALL: Yes it may be the only way to undo this.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS: Ryn, the timeline's already... "screwed".

Action: The warbird hails the Apache....

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: I will not fire.

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Ah, how true...

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Unless ordered.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Incoming hail.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: You have some time to get a good theory. I will try and stall....

CSO_Marsland says:
::finishes:: CO: Or we could follow Mr. McGuyver's reccommendation.  Fly through the rift again, and then back. Hopefully arriving here again 3 minutes before the Apache was destroyed.. and try to save her.

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Onscreen. ::stands and straightens his uniform::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Its the warbird. I'm sure they are wondering why we just blew up and are still here...

XO_Naegle says:
::sits up straight as the comm comes through::

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Or we slingshot around a sun and buy us more time.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::steps up close to her, so her is scent is strong in his senses:: Sec_Abbott: You will report to me later, for ..... some physical training.

Commander T'Null says:
COM: Apache: Well, it seems you can't keep a good ship down.... Or should I say you're more like a bad virus... you just keep coming back.... Captain...? ::sneers::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: I hate to suggest this. But what if we've already tried this - or, at least, Apache's in the "past"?

Host CO_Storal says:
All: This isn't our time...

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: I know, Lt. But we don't have a choice.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: But what IS "our time?"

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:T'Null: It seems we are a glutton for punishment.

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: You wanna stop this? Then we time travel an hour back and warn ourselves in route.

Romulan says:
Khora: How touching... a very human mating ritual for a Klingon....

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Think about it. When we were destroyed the first time. We were in Federation Space.

CSO_Marsland says:
EO: How though, McGuyver? It's not like we can program the rift!

XO_Naegle says:
EO: Calm down, McGuyver.  We'll figure this out later.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Ah...

CSO_Marsland says:
::hears the CO, and looks at his previous sensor readings::

EO_McGuyver says:
CSO: We use the sun as a slingshot. We create our own way or a temporal rift.

CSO_Marsland says:
EO: How will using the sun as a slingshot do anything?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::turns on the Romulan:: Romulan: QUIET! You will not speak again, unless you have something of importance you wish to impart.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::approaches the cell holding the Romulan::

CNS_Solaa says:
::sighs at the EO's comment, again:: EO: Ens. McGuyver! Will you PLEASE just calm down. We will talk with the Romulans first and THEN come up with something.

Commander T'Null says:
::waves him off:: COM: CO: No matter... we'll just get rid of you too.. no sense leaving a mess to clean up....

EO_McGuyver says:
CSO: Look under the Starship Enterprise Logs. They invented the Slingshot Manuaver for Time Warp. You go around a sun at warp nine and break away creating time travel.

FCO_Ilianor says:
EO: How will that solve anything? Shh... Let the captain speak, ensign.

EO_McGuyver says:
FCO: It will give us time.

Commander T'Null says:
COM: CO: Besides.. you are in the neutral zone... I believe that a Federation ship should be here and is grounds for war wouldn't you think?

CSO_Marsland says:
Self: So we're in the NZ, and you just blew up a Fed starship.. who's more at fault?

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:T'Null: I would have to agree with you on that. But we are under some most unusual set of circumstances.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::looks at D'Layna, then back at the Romulan:: SEC_Abbott: He may not know anything, but perhaps it would be fun to torture him anyway ... just in case.

Romulan says:
Khora: You think you can threaten me? I'd like to see you try it.

CNS_Solaa says:
EO: McGuyver... we are in the MIDDLE of a conversation with our Romulan neighbors. First of all, this ship is not at the capability of jumping at the snap of a finger to warp 9. Second, buy time for what? We are LOSING time.

XO_Naegle says:
EO/CNS: Is there a problem, you two?

Sec Abbott says:
Khora: Death would be too easy for him, Par'Mach.... he deserves to pay for what he's done to us...

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
SEC_Abbott: Open the door, Lt. Death will not come to him this day.

EO_McGuyver says:
::sends text message to the CNS's console:: CNS: To save ourselves and end the time loop.

Action: The warbird powers up it's weapons.

EO_McGuyver says:
::locks on weapons::

Host CO_Storal says:
::realizes that it is hopeless now:: FCO: Take us back into the rift...

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, I don't believe destroying the station will do anything.  It's too late for that.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Sir??

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: They are powering up weapons!

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: We need to get back through the rift and see where that places us.

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Did I stutter Lieutenant?!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: No, sir. Back to the rift, immediately. ::plots a course through the heart of the rift::

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Should I fire?

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Agreed.

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Negative..

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Aye Sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
XO: I think I'm going to pull my hair out Janet...
Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Engage maximum warp

Host Admiralla says:
Action: The warbird fires on the Apache, taking her main warp offline.

EO_McGuyver says:
::fires back::

XO_Naegle says:
CO: You and me both, sir.  I think the EO and CNS are under a great deal of stress as well.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Warp is offline. Engaging impulse... EO: Do me a favour and get warp back on, please?

EO_McGuyver says:
FCO: Will take 30 minutes for that.

CNS_Solaa says:
::punches buttons sharply on her console stabilizing systems::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::feels the Apache being fired upon:: *CO*: Captain, do you need assistance?

EO_McGuyver says:
::fires all weapons and continues::

Host CO_Storal says:
*SEC*: Report to the bridge Lt.

CNS_Solaa says:
::mutters curses in Trill under her breath...::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::glares at the Romulan, but speaks to D'Layna:: SEC_Abbott: He'll keep. Secure the brig, and remain on standby. ::exits the brig::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::enters TL::  TL: Deck One - Bridge. Self: I hate Romulans.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, it's going to take time to make it to the rift. I'm out of suggestions Sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
::looks over to the CSO:: CSO: I'm approaching that state myself Tom

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: I am firing to keep them off of us.

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Good work, keep it up.
EO_McGuyver says:
::continues firing at the warbird::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, we have a couple antimatter canisters available, reccommend using them on the station. Wouldn't hurt to destroy it at least.

Action: The station decloaks and begins to transmit several pulse like energy capules toward the rift..... it begins to close....

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Think that will work again, sir?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::enters the bridge:: CO: Captain .... ?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the station is closing the rift!

EO_McGuyver says:
::diverts all the power he can spare to the engines::

EO_McGuyver says:
::trys a warp core restart::

Action: The warbird's sheilds falter but still holds.....

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Sir, I'm going to transfer all availible power to the warp engines. Do you want me to use life support?

Host CO_Storal says:
::sighs and says a small prayer under his breath:: Prophets: Give me the strength....

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Captain, at full impulse, we won't make it to the rift... if we're going to go back, we have to destroy the station before it can be closed...

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Make it happen.

EO_McGuyver says:
::continues to pound into the warbird and pounds it with all the weapons he can fire::

Host CO_Storal says:
SEC: Take over tactical..

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Mr. McGuyver, work with engineering to get warp speed back.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Captain, I'm picking up yet ANOTHER ship, closing fast.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Launch canisters aye Sir. EO/SEC: Fire at the station to weaken their shields if you wouldn't mind. ALL: Launching the first canister.

EO_McGuyver says:
::heads for engineering::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Lemme guess....

XO_Naegle says:
::sits back to see what happens::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::takes over TAC1, nodding to Kirk as he passes::

CSO_Marsland says:
::launches the first canister at the station::

EO_McGuyver says:
::enters engineering and begins to order people to repair::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: It's not what you think. ::checks his sensors again:: It's the USS... Castille.

EO_McGuyver says:
::tries to restart the core::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: There's a start.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Her weapons are powered up, she's come to save us...

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks in the database for info on the Castille::

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Maybe they can help us.

Host CO_Storal says:
CNS: Hail them.

Action: A set of phasers from behind the warbird, pound it with firepower as the Castille bears down. She easily weakens the warbird....

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Aye, sir! Hailing frequency open.

Host CO_Storal says:
COM: Castille: This is Capt. Storal Kylorean of the Apache, concentrate your fire on that station...

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: The Castille has lowered their shields, sir.

USS Castille says:
COM: CO: Are you sure Apache? We're reading you don't have much power left to finish off that warbird.

CNS_Solaa says:
Self: Man, its so good to hear CIVILIZATION!!

Action: The warbird turns her firepower on the Castille but isn't having much luck.

Host CO_Storal says:
COM: Castille: We can hold them off. That station is the key to this battle.

EO_McGuyver says:
::continues to repair and retry starting the core::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Keep us intact until the Castille can finish the station.

EO_McGuyver says:
ALL: Get on to repair this core now!

Host CO_Storal says:
SEC: Keep firing on that Warbird!

XO_Naegle says:
FCO: Keep us intact even longer, if you can. ::smiles::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: Diverting secondary power to weapons.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Easier said than done... but I'll do it, sir. ::grins::

EO_McGuyver says:
::uses various tools to  repair the core::

Action: The USS Castille heads directly toward the station, sending out ion sweeps of the area and easily locating her while under cloak. With a few quick blasts from her torpedo bays and a few well placed bursts of phaser power... the station is easily destroyed.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::fires all phaser banks at the Warbird::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, we need to rescue the pods. They don't have shields to deal with the explosion from the station when we destroy it Sir.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Can we do it in our state?

Action: The Warbird takes a hit to the port side and goes dead in space.... all firepower coming to a halt.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: Sir, the station has been destroyed.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: The threat has been eliminated, sir. ::sighs, and falls back against his chair::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: The warbirds shields are down and she's dead in space.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Should we be cruel and finish the warbird off?

CSO_Marsland says:
::scans for the pods::

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: Whew! Well, that was a good run!

Host CO_Storal says:
All: Good work. CNS: Hail the Warbird.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Aye, aye! ::depresses buttons gleefully, hailing the warbird::

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:T'Null: You have been beat and your station has been destroyed. Prepare to be boarded.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, the pods are gone. They went into the rift.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO:Then that means that the loop will still continue correct?

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: Was that where we wanted them to go?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::sends a COMM to the brig to have security teams 1 and 2 go to shuttle-bay one::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CNS/CSO/CO: I think that, that we're still here is proof that they went back to where they were supposed to go...
CSO_Marsland says:
CO: SIr, it could continue to loop unless we close up the rift, thus preventing ourselves on the other side from coming back out again.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Is the rift still open?

EO_McGuyver says:
::tries a core restart::

CNS_Solaa says:
FCO: Hmm... I dearly hope you are right, Baran.

Action: The warp core powers up again.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: What would we need to close it?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: My question is, we are at about the same time as we were when first we arrived near the NZ. What happened different this time to cause the Castille to come out to our rescue?

EO_McGuyver says:
::finishes repairing the core and tries to restart it::

EO_McGuyver says:
*Bridgecrew*: Warp Power is back.

CNS_Solaa says:
CSO: Didn't we call for help?

EO_McGuyver says:
::heads for the bridge::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: They probably haven't created the temporal field generator, and the Romulan-Federation war is just a normal event in this reality.

FCO_Ilianor says:
CSO: Why don't we ask them?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
*EO*: Ensign, what's the status of our shields?

XO_Naegle says:
*EO*: Good work, Ensign.

Host CO_Storal says:
*EO*: Great work Mr. McGuyver.

CSO_Marsland says:
CNS: Yes Counselor, but only five minutes ago. That wouldn't have been time for someone to receive our call.

XO_Naegle says:
CNS/CSO: They might have already been in the area for some reason.

EO_McGuyver says:
::starts the emergency generators and sends the power to shields::

EO_McGuyver says:
*FCO*:You have warp drive.

XO_Naegle says:
SEC: Can you close the rift?

EO_McGuyver says:
*SEC*:Still weak.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Researching now, Sir.

EO_McGuyver says:
::heads for the bridge::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: Should I stand down red alert, sir?

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:Castille: Thank you for coming to the rescue. You have a great ship. Give them my gratitude.

Host CO_Storal says:
SEC: Yes Lieutenant. Excellent work.

EO_McGuyver says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, I believe a full powered modified phaser blast should close the rift.

USS Castille says:
COM: CO: You're quite welcome... good thing we were in the neighbourhood... Is there anything else we can do?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::stands down to yellow alert until shields are fully operational::

EO_McGuyver says:
::takes the engineering console::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: They can tell us where we are!

Host CO_Storal says:
COM:Castille: You may want to board the Warbird. I'm sure the people back home would like to talk to the Warbird's Captain,

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Will that restore the timeline?

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Yes sir, I believe that it will.

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Forward the rifts coordinates to tactical.

Host CO_Storal says:
SEC: Set our weapons for maximum yeild and fire when ready..

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::recieves the data:: CO: Firing ...

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: Should we raise shields to protect us from the implosion?

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::fires at the co-ordinates::

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: We should be far enough away

Host CO_Storal says:
EO: Besides.. if Mr. Marsland is correct.. it won't matter.

EO_McGuyver says:
::nods his head and grabs something::

CSO_Marsland says:
::hopes:: Self: See you all in the past..

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: In that case I will buy drinks for everyone.

Action: The Apache fires a modified phaser blast directly into the rifts co-ordinates. The rift glows with a firey resistance as the phaser banks disrupt the flow of whatever it's make up is and it distabilizes. There is a blinding flash of white light that radiates throughout the sector and temporarily blinds the crew for a moment. When the crew awakens, they find themselves on the brink of the Romulan Neutral zone.

Host CO_Storal says:
::says a prayer to the Prophets thanking them for thier blessings and grace::

XO_Naegle says:
::hopes this works::

Host CO_Storal says:
::sits down in his chair::

EO_McGuyver says:
ALL: This is gonna be one hell of a ride.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: Direct hit, I believe, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::lets out a long sigh of relief::

EO_McGuyver says:
::sighs::

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: Status report!

FCO_Ilianor says:
::coughs, as he raises his head from his console:: CO: Captain...

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CO: Sir, our co-ordinates have changed ...

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, on the edge of the Neutral Zone. Reccommend raising shields!

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Plot a course back to SB 366.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::hands pass over the tactical station, scanning LRS::

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Scanning...

Host CO_Storal says:
CSO: You read my mind. SEC: Raise shields.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Sir, all damage to the ship is gone. We're just as we were in the beginning.

XO_Naegle says:
CO: Yes, let's not make that mistake again!

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: SB 366 located, Sir. ::grins:: Plotting a course back.

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
::raises shields::

EO_McGuyver says:
CO: I guess I owe everyone a drink.

Host CO_Storal says:
::whispers:: XO: Well we won't launch the little probe this time ::grins::

Host CO_Storal says:
FCO: Engage Warp 5

FCO_Ilianor says:
CO: Warp 5, aye. ::activates the warp engines::

XO_Naegle says:
::rolls eyes and whispers back:: CO Understood, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
ALL: YES!!! We're BACK!

EO_McGuyver says:
::runs over and hugs the CNS::

SEC_Lt_K`hora says:
CNS: Qa'Plah!!

CNS_Solaa says:
::pats the EO tentitively on the back, in shock that he is hugging her::

CNS_Solaa says:
SEC: If I knew any Klingon, I would say something back, but...

Action: The Apache plots a course and heads back to Starbase 366. Her ship and crew will have no physical trace of what just happened to them as time has been once again reset by both the destruction of the starbase and the destroying of the rift. 

The only thing that remains are the bitter memories, which they all will gladly try to forget.....
