Prologue: The Apache crew has been asked to go back in time to straighten out a problem with the time line. They also have been told that they would inhabit someone else’s body during their time in the past. They have been given an hour to make their decision. It now has been 45 minutes. So will the crew agree or will they just tell the Voice where to go?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: sitting in the conference room with a cream soda, the last one he may get for a while ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::walks into the room and takes a seat::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: watches everyone wishing she knew what they were thinking ::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::sitting there patiently in the conference room while awaiting the decision of the rest of the crew::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::walks into the room and gets herself a milk.  Sits down and watches everyone curiously wondering what they would decide::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Okay people, we need to make a decision here.  We are running out of time

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sips her milk quietly::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: takes a drink of his cream soda ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: wishes she had gotten a drink too when she sees Mrlr's milk ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::sits and listens patiently::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::realizes that no one is going to speak up so she puts her glass down and looks around the table:: All: The Voice stated that the timeline is already altered.  So I say we do what it asks.  Besides...it might be fun.
 
Action: The Apache rocks as if on a wave then settles back to normal.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: I agree in the sense that if the time line is altering and we wait to do something there will be a point where what we have become will cease to be

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
ALL: Do we really have a choice

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, why us?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
All: ::sniffs daintily:: Of course...it would be a hardship being a much lesser species than a Caitian...but then again...it would give one a unique perspective of the situation.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::is rocked in his chair and gets up and goes to the console to see what just happened::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope it looks like we inherited the promised assistance the last CO of this ship gave.  He was a good man, I cant think he would have trusted this voice so easily

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks up at OPS:: OPS: Can you tell what just happened?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
ALL: Well in for a penny in for a pound

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: cusses as his drink spilt:: All : Now what?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
All: This is very strange.  ::putts it up on teh main viewer in the room::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: turns to see the viewer

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the viewer::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shrugs and look up at the screen ::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::makes a motion to object on the screen::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::looks at the main viewer::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
All: This is or was the star base.  Now it is only an outpost.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
OPS: An outpost for who?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
All: All stars and planetary bodies are not in the correct locations.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: cusses in about 4 different Creek and Seminole dialects at the image :: OPS: How long ago was DS4 only an outpost
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::her ears perk forward:: All: Then he is right...the timeline is already altered.  Who knows what else has or will change.
 
Action: The warning alarms go off as 2 Romulan ship approach.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Self: Swears

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: Are you saying that is because of the timeline change?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::reads to data on the console::  All: We have 2 Romulan ships approaching.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Sound general quarters

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Stations people

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::actions the red alert ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: That or we missed one hell of a memo
 
Action: The Romulans hail the Apache.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gets up and rushes back to the bridge ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: runs out on the bridge ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::heads for Tactical::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::Makes haste to the OPS console on the bridge::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::sees the comm. signal flashing::  CO: They are hailing us.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes over her station and waits ::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: On screen

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::brings shields and weapons online::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::gets yup and heads swiftly towards her console and starts to scan the area and ships to see any differences::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::takes his set  and opens the com and turns it on the main viewer:  CO: On screen.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Battle stations manned and ready. Shields are up weapons in standby mode

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Helm ready sir.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: stands waiting to hear what the Romulans have to say :: FCO: Prepare for evasive maneuvers Hope

Capt_Krull says:
@COM: Unknown ship: This is Captain Krull of the Romulan empire. State who you are and what you are doing in Romulan space?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper they are two BOP`s roughly of a vintage used 50 yrs ago

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::reroutes power to the shields to give them more power if needed::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV: To answer your question, Yes, it has changed.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, evasive maneuvers inputted, standing by.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: with the big letters on the saucer section lying is going to be useless :: COM: Krull: This is Commander Grey-feather, captain of the Apache.  We inadvertently entered Romulan space, it was not intentional

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: nods in acknowledgement to the CTO ::

Capt_Krull says:
@COM: Apache: You have 10 minutes to get you ship out of Romulan space or we will open fire.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: whispers hoping that Mrlr overdriven hearing can understand :: CIV: Now would be a good time to find that voice

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::pulls the data up on the outpost he scanned seeing what kind it was or even if it is federation or Starfleet::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens and then responds according to the Captain's statement :: CO: Sir, navigational systems still acting strangely, Repairs are underway. :: hopes they buy that line ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Krull: We are having navigational system troubles.  We request a bearing and mark so that we may comply

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::hears the CO and nods slightly.  Starts sending out a message in all directions disguised as subspace static in the search of the Voice::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::begins checking the star positions and running them through LACRS to get a rough time fix::
 
Action: Once again the Apache come to a halt as if stuck between seconds again.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
All: here we go
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, all systems are down again.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: Sir. we are altering time again.

CO: Captain I need your decision thing are moving faster than we realized.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Thank you :: smiles ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: It appears that the situation leaves us no choice

Voice says:
CO: That is good to hear Captain.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: May I have one minute before we begin to speak to my wife

Voice says:
CO: Yes

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::ears prick forward at his request and she looks at Joshua curiously::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: moves closer to Mrlr and gently holds her :: CIV: He says we will be safe, if anything happens I will never give up on getting back to you my love

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::wonders what is going to happen next::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Wife?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Mrlr and smiles ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::purrs quietly and nods:: CO: I never doubted that.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I love you Mrlr :: kisses her and turns back to the crew ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: You missed the note on your console? :: big grin ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: We are ready

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::thinking how emotional other species can be at times and will never understand them::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO/CIV: May the gods bless your union

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::smiles and winks at Hope as she answers Wolf:: CTO: Thank you, Wolf.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: They already have, 3 times :: touches Mrlr's tummy ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Thank you Wolf

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::bows:: CIV/CO: it is my honor to call you both friend

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: wonders why none of the bridge crew knew about this ::

Voice says:
CO: Very Good Captain. Now we will be sending you back to earth in the mid 20th century. The date will be in October 1962. Do you have any ideals about what happened during that time?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: The space race they called it I believe

Voice says:
CO: Yes also they had a nuclear race as well.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: Oh yes, now I remember my study's  that point in time when the 2 nations of The United states of America and the Soviet Union were in constant battle with each other.

Voice says:
CO As far as the people that you will be inhabiting President John F Kennedy.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice/OPS: Yes an American named Kennedy and a soviet named...Krushev :: jaw drops :: Me Kennedy?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::growls under her breath:: CO: I studied this time period...you had better only take on his presidential qualities...and not his wandering eye. You WILL be coming back here. ::taps a claw on the console::

Voice says:
OPS: You my Vulcan friend will be Vice President Lynden B Johnson.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Oh course :: shudders at the thought of emasculation by claw ::
 
CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Voice: Don’t tell me I’ll be the Secretary of defense

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
Voice: Will we have the chance to study up on our new personalities.

Voice says:
CTO: you are very good you will be Robert S McNamara

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
Self: great

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens and tries to remember that time in history with little results ::

Voice says:
CIV: I am sorry that there are not any women in office during this time so you will be Robert Kennedy the Attorney general.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
Voice: That could take the term brotherly love to a whole new level.

Voice says:
FCO: And you my dear will also be a man. you will be the Secretart of State Dean Rusk.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Voice: I'm not sure I can pull off being a man.

Voice says:
All: While you will all retain you memories you need to remember that any one you deal with will see you as these people.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::walks quietly over to Hope and whispers:: FCO: I wonder how it is going to be..being a man. ::shudders slightly:: How limiting.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
All: This is going to be fun

Voice says:
All: I will now let you have a chance to study you characters for one hour and don't worry about these pesky Romulans as I will take care of them for you.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: shrugs at Mrlr :: CIV: I've never played a man before...I mean..with them yes....but being one?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CTO: You will have fun. I will only try to understand the situation.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: For you, my wife is going to be a man.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: That would be very much appreciated, they were not very friendly hosts

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: I can only imagine the carnage she is going to cause

Voice says:
CO: Very well I will see you in an hour.
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I am going to be president of one of the most powerful countries on my planet, and my wife is a man.  Worry about the destruction I might cause in a few days :: smirks ::
 
Action: The Apache finds itself about 50 light years away from where they were an with now ships in the areal

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Well at least i something interesting to do

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, I don't know anything about this Dean Rusk fellow.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: He should be in the databanks

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: this McNamara fellow had a colorful history

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
ALL: I can bring any data we might need to study theses individuals

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::pulls up LCARS and begins reviewing the data on McNamara

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
OPS: how are you going to do that?  We will inhabit their bodies.  I doubt we can bring anything back.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::pulls up the files on all the individuals each one of us is going to be::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: They all did, and as I remember I have to work fast.  John Kennedy will be assassinated in November of this year

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Walks onto the bridge:: CO: Sorry for my lateness, Captain. I was hearing....voices....

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV: I simply meant that I can pull the files out of the data base to study before we leave.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: tries to find the data on Rusk ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Or November of the next year, my history is rusty...either way I don’t want to be there for it

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CNS: I`d say you need to see a counselor but

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CNS: You are not the only one

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::sends the data of each person and sends the files to the appropriate crewmen for study::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Well it`s been nice knowing you

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Smiles brightly:: CTO: Watch it, or I’ll set my other personalities on you ::Laughs lightly::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
All: I have forwarded the files in question for each of your characters you will be inhabiting.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Very funny, you still don’t get to be CO if I die

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Well done Mr. Salor

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
CO: Damn and here i had my hopes up

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Blinks:: CO: Inhabiting? So i take it we're going back in time then. We have any info at all as to a time period or anything? Place?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
Voice: What exactly are we fixing here?  What caused the timeline to change back then?
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CNS: OPS has it for you

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Turns to the OPS:: OPS: What cha got for me, Salor?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: reads the file still not sure about how she's going to pull this off ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
::raises an eyebrow at the counselor’s familiarity::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: reads his file :: Aloud : He was the ladies man

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CNS: I have the file for the Sectary of Interior Steward Udall for you to study and learn.

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Blinks:: OPS: A man? You've got to be kidding me.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::coughs just loud enough for the CO to hear:: CO: The operative word is...'was'.  I have a feeling that JFK is suddenly going to have a period of fidelity.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CNS: I do not kid Ensign.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: gives her the dear in the headlight look :: CIV: Why I am sure of it

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Shakes head:: OPS: Of course not.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CNS: And next time, you are to address me as Lt.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: the question I have and the voice so sweetly ignored is this:  What could have happened to have changed the timeline so far back?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Might be as simple as keeping the Kennedys alive

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CIV/CO: It would be a logical guess to say it would have something to do with the , what the humans call, the space race.

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Shrugs:: OPS: If you say so.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolf says:
All: this McNamara was an interesting chap

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Kennedy endorsed the space race, at least he did in our time

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO/OPS: But we know in our timeline what happened.  I suppose I should ask is...Who went back and changed it?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO/CIV: I will familiarize myself with that time and try to ascertain what may be different from what our history records and possibly track it back to the origin.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: We have less than an hour to become experts on earth history

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
CO: All I have is what i learned at the Academy. Plus some parental history. I don't know how much help that'll do.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
Self: To be human, how disturbing.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CNS: A great deal we hope

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: takes a long look at Mrlr :: CIV: Just getting an eyefull to last love.

CNS_Aries_Wharton says:
::Smiles:: CO: I'll do what i can then, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Then let’s make history everyone :: grins ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::saunters up to him and whispers in his ear:: CO: Just think how wonderful the reunion will be.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues reading ::
