Host Rich says:
Prologue: The crew of the Apache is still in the past and still inhabiting someone else bodies. The XO who is President Nixon is now gathering his staff together to finish ironing out the last details and hopefully find a way back to there own time.

FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Walks into the oval office and takes a seat on the couch and awaits the others::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Walks into the office carrying her briefcase and takes a seat in the corner::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::enters oval office cigar in mouth coffee in cup in hand eyes bloodshot::
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Follows the Secretary of Defense and stands in the back of the room.::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::at the big, presidential desk, finishing a document to amend the defense's budget::  *secretary*: Dear once I start this meeting I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. Do not let anyone in either. Thanks.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::follows the others in and looks around for a place to sit::
Host Kissinger says:
:: walks past the secretary and into the Oval office:: Shirley: make sure that after everyone arrives no one is to bother us.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::looks at Kissinger arriving and decides he needs some privacy:: Kissinger: Mr. Secretary, you are not on my schedule.
Host Kissinger says:
:: looks around the oval office:: XO: Is this the staff that the two of you have decided to keep on?
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Kissinger: Mr. Secretary, out of this room, right now. And this is an order.  ::shows him the exit::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::butts cigar out and takes a long sip of coffee::
Host Kissinger says:
XO: Sir this is a staff meeting and I am part of the staff am I not?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Stands up in case the XO needs backup::

XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Kissinger: Not this is not, this is a private meeting. Now please if you need to talk to me you can come back in two hours.
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the President and Secretary of State, wondering what this meeting could be about.::
Host Kissinger says:
XO: sir I wouldn't push this to hard I know too much to have you push me out of the room.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Kissenger: Sir, you heard the president. Exit the room
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Gives the XO the questioning-eyebrow look::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Kissinger: Wanna bet? Mr. Secretary, you serve at my pleasure. If you are not out of the room immediately I will see that my last act will be firing you. Is that clear? ::uses a very threatening tone::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Kissinger: And I will make sure you never work in politics again.
Host Kissinger says:
XO: You push me out of this room and you won't have the time to fire me. FCO: And you will be the one following him.
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Wonders how dumb this Secretary of State must be to threaten the President of the United States.::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Waits for the XO's word, moving a few steps closer to the offender::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::gives Kissinger a dirty look::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Kissinger: Goodbye Henry. You know better than me that you are an accomplice and if you talk you will share a cell with me. Now I am counting up to three, at three I will have thrown you out and kept in the white house for questioning.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::moves his hand to push the button to call the Secret Service in::
Host Kissinger says:
XO: I doubt that  they will deport me first.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Unbuttons her jacket just in case she needs her weapon::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Kissinger:: One..................two..............
Host Kissinger says:
:: leaves the room::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
*Shirley*: Now if he comes back do not let him in, call the Service if you need them.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Moves to lock the door and puts a chair under the handle for good measure::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: I am glad you came. ::sits:: I am leaving this place tomorrow and I wanted to make a plan with you all.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::leans back into the couch and puts feet up::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Opens her briefcase and pulls out one of her gadgets, a "white noise blanker" that will defeat listening microphones and switches it on, gives the XO a "thumbs-up" sign::
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Leans back against the wall.::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: As you know once I leave the White House I will have to keep a low profile, so I am afraid it will be up to you to find a way home. Do you have any update?
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::looks over at the CTO::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I got this gadget made to defeat listening devices. I'm working on a scanner to try and get us more info to work on.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Panics a bit at the thought of having to run a country of a planet he is not from::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::nods to the CTO:: ALL: I was thinking to divert a few funds from the defense budget to finance  your research ::Shows them the document he just signed:: It will be called "Project Apache" and the excuse is that you will be working to develop a new detection system
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I'm sure with the cold war on in full force we could sure use new "Missile detection technology" Sir.
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Blinks at the name of the system, figuring that all of the people in this room must be the rest of the crew in the same situation as him. But who's who?::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::listens intently::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: Captain I think you will be able to run the project and Ms. Hembrook will make sure that nothing developed there will come out.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: You can help them and give them cover from the Pentagon.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
XO: I believe this century had a lot of "black" projects, maybe we should check some of them out to see if they have anything useful to us
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: And you can keep on financing them.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: I think I can handle that, anything to get us home.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Sure, anything you can. I will be following a lead in California. I want to interview this Roddenberry fellow.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: That's the cover we'll use, this way we can classify it "Top Secret, Need to Know" and nobody can call us on it. I'm in the Air Force, so it's logical. NORAD runs missile detection, and SAC has the nukes. ::grins:: I'm the SAC Liaison.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: You can handle the bureaucracy in the Pentagon and help set up the machinery we need.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: Any idea or suggestion? ::looks at the Captain::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: We can try to get all the data from NASA and NORAD and see if it jives with what we remember, especially star-wise.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
XO: Cant wait to get home
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: I doubt that this is our universe. In our universe Kirk was a Starfleet Captain not an actor.

FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
All: Maybe if we stopped playing along, the aliens who put us here would just send us back. Memory or no memory, its better then being stuck here.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
XO: I think I'll head home to Germany and retire
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::shakes her head:: XO: Sounds good to me.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CEO: We need you at the Pentagon, and by the time you will retire hopefully we will have made it home.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::chuckles:: XO: I’m not holding my breathe
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: The Klingons were sent back to their ship, I think it will happen the same to us. When I do not know.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
ALL: I hate to say it, but I honestly believe the only way we're getting out of here is the way we got in... through that green alien beam. ::looks annoyed::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
ALL: I guess I should head back to the pentagon and continue working on my 200lb tricorder
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
ALL: I think we have two options, one is to live our lives as Terrans, the other is to beat the odds and try to contact these aliens someway. What would you think best?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: I'm all for blowing this pop-stand Boss, but how do we contact them or even get their attention?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
All: Maybe if we just asked nicely, they would answer.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: That is what I hope to find out with your research. CEO:: these is the document you need to assign funds to "Project Apache", I am not sure but I hope 200 million dollars will be enough.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::takes the document::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::wonders how much that translates to in GPL::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Wonders how much Romulan Ale that would buy::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Maybe you should try Mr. Ford.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Yeah, maybe.  Aliens: Excuse me, Aliens who put us here, how bout you send us home now?
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
Aliens: Please?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: If $200 million isn't enough we'll find some other black projects to rob from, we'll find a way.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Ok, that didn’t work ::Grumbles a bit::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::was hoping that might work::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
FCO: They could tell you weren't sincere.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::chuckles::

XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: In the meanwhile I will see what I can do as a former disgraced president, but I doubt it is much. If this is all I think we should all go to our work. Hopefully I will see you again on the Apache.
Host Rich says:
Action: As the XO finishes his statement there is a bright blue light and the Crew finds them self-back on the Apache with the CTO still holding the machine that she had made.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
All: Well... that was... interesting...
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
::Blinks and shakes his head a bit.:: Self: Whoa....
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks and says something unsavory in Chinese::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::blinks and looks around ME::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
CTO: Well, I couldn't say that when I get my hands on them I'm gonna choke the life out of them, that would have been the truth, but I don’t think that would have won them over. ::Smiles at the CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::stumbles a little and looks at the CO:: CO: You all right ma'am?
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Checks her Tactical station and sensors immediately::
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
*FCO*: Lt I owe you a round
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
All: Ummm.. What just happened...
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::turns to ME console and runs full diagnostic::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::happily flicks her tail behind her:: XO: A lot better now.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Apache is still on emergency power and the Distortion is still there and now there seems to be a voice coming from it.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::smiles at his Captain:: ALL:  Report status as soon as you can.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::checks breast pocket and discovers a single cigar, miles to self::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Tactical systems are offline, Commander. All I've got is sensors and emergency power.
Host Voice says:
 CO: Captain I want to thank you for all of your crews help in restoring the time line back to where it should be.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
*XO*: We still have only emergency power sir::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::blinks:: Voice: Ooooo-kay
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Shocked:: CO: Did he say restore the timeline?
Host Voice says:
FCO: Yes I did say restore the timeline.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::nods to the FCO::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Gulps::

CEO_Ens_Wall says:
*Voice*: Not to be ungrateful, but would you kindly restore power to my engineering systems please?
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::whispers to CO:: Maybe we should ask who are these people.
Host Voice says:
CO: I am sorry captain that I had to use you crew as I did however you were the only one around when I needed you.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Voice: What exactly was wrong with the timeline and how did we fix it?
Host Voice says:
CEO: You power will be restored soon .
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
Self: I would've imagined us changing anything would destroy the timeline...
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
*Voice*: thank you
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::wonders about the Klingons::
Host Voice says:
CTO: In the altered timeline the president did not resign and the whole United States fell and was taken over by the Russians
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::turns to engineering crew:: ME: get ready to run a full systems check once we get main power up
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Voice: Yes, that would have been bad.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
Voice: Who are you? Where do you come from? I am glad we could help, but our mission is to contact new species.
Host Voice says:
XO: I am called the one. I am here to see that all thing in the universe are made right when they go wrong.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
Self: Damn if isn’t god himself
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
::sounds in awe:: Voice: are you a God?
Host Voice says:
XO: No I am only know as the one
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Maybe he is a Q. I mean we were taken against our will.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Voice: If you exist to make things right, why do you allow the Borg and others like them continue to oppress people?
Host Voice says:
CTO: Because that is their way. We do not stop being from being who they are.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: Yes it may be, but I am afraid we will never know.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
::Nods in agreement
TO_Ens_Sekhmanek says:
Voice: What is your definition of right?
Host Voice says:
CO: Being that my work here is done I will be on my way.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: At least he is polite.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::sighs and takes the cigar out of his pocket and slips it into his mouth::
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
Self: Got 'em. Voice: Then how do you decide what is right and wrong, and thus, what needs fixing? ::crosses arms and smirks, rather pleased with herself::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Distortion disappears and all power is restored to the Apache.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
*XO*: Power restored boss, all systems are up and running
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Engines are back online.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CO: Back to our route to Avalon? This would make your report very interesting.
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
::sits down in her chair and rubs forehead:: XO: Well, I'm glad that's over.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::clenches cigar between teeth and runs a full engineering diagnostic::
Host CO_Rr`Vellan says:
XO: Yeah...but I have a feeling we'll need some R&R after that.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Runs checks on all Tactical systems and prepares to bring them back online::
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: You heard the Captain, take us to Avalon Station, warp 8. Engage Lieutenant.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Does scans of the area for threats::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Aye, sir. Course set. ::Hits the command to take the ship to warp""
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Sir, out of curiosity, how does that era end?
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::turns to and heads for ME office::
Host Rich says:
Action: The Apache jumps to warp with no problems.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
XO: Threat board is green Sir, no contacts, all systems reporting as nominal, all stations report as secure.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: the USA won the cold war against the Russians, but then they entered another long and terrible war. But that is another story. Nixon resigned and Ford became a very good president.
CEO_Ens_Wall says:
::collapses into chair::
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
All: Also, you don’t think the voice tried to put the Klingons back in the same past we were sent back to do you?
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
CTO: Perfect, I think we can relax a bit now.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: That is good to know sir.
XO_Cmdr_Polo says:
FCO: And I have no doubt you would have made a terrific president Lieutenant.
FCO_LtJg_Odain says:
XO: Thank you sir, although I can say I was not looking forward to it.
CTO_LtCdr_Hembrook says:
::Continues to monitor systems and sensors::
