CIV_RFK says:
::enters the oval office.  Can't help wincing slightly as the underwear the male's used during this time chaffed in areas she was not used to having::

OPS_Johnson says:
::sitting on the couch in the oval office::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: in the oval office behind the desk, seems lost in thought ::

OPS_Johnson says:
CIV: Is there something wrong, you are walking rather strange

CTO_Macnamara says:
::enters holding a folder of the latest recon photo`s and plans for a tactical airstrike on the sites::

CIV_RFK says:
:: growling under her breath::OPS: Don't ask.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: is already in the office looking over a briefing report ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Morning Jack. I need coffee. here`s the latest recce photo`s and a plan for a surgical strike on the sites

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: takes the folder :: CTO: Thanks Bob.  :: looks at the folders contents and is not happy ::

CIV_RFK says:
::walks over behind the desk and looks over the CO's shoulder at the photos::
 
CTO_Macnamara says:
::pours a coffee and stands by the window looking out over the rose garden::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::sips at the coffee and thinks it`s not bad but it isnt RakTajino::

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: throws the report on the window sill and picks up his coffee cup ::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CTO: Bob I dont like what I see here :: notices the CIV looking over his shoulder and points at the findings in the folder::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::turns to face the president:: CO: Neither do i.

OPS_Johnson says:
::looking around at all the faces in teh room and wonders if his thoughts about their situation could be true::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CIV: No garuntee that an airstrike could be 100% effective

OPS_Johnson says:
::gets up and walks to the desk:: CO: What is it.

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: If we have our hand forced and we make surgical strikes against those sites the Russians will attack our missiles in Turkey or even invade western europe in response

CIV_RFK says:
::shakes her head at the site of the photos and then leans down ot speak quietly so as not to be overheard:: CO: I have seen nothing out of the ordinary that shouldn't have happened.  ::points to the photos and reports:: It is all as it was. ::shrugs::

OPS_Johnson says:
CO: I highly disagree with any strike, it will not ackomplish anything but make the situation worse.

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Our Neptune flights indicate freighters with additional weapons heading for Cuba

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: We need the Navy to enforce the blockade and turn those ships back

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
OPS/CTO: Well we have reached that point; Bob take our defenses to DEFCON3, LB time to put the marines to work...fortiefy Guantanamo.

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Understood Sir

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CIV: That’s what is bugging me, nothing is out of place.  So why send us?

OPS_Johnson says:
CO: I have had a thought on that.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: looks at the congressional heads in the room and speaks up :: All: Gentlemen, all this chatter is all well and good, but the American people are going to want their President to explain any action.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
CO: Jack, you prepared to tell them we're going to war essentially?

CTO_Macnamara says:
FCO: I think the American people will understand and support the President’s decision once they know what’s parked 90 miles off Florida

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
FCO: Dean get Naval command on the horn.  Its time quarantine Cuba.  This blockade has to encircle the island, no going around it

OPS_Johnson says:
CO: A word in private Mr. President if you will, I do have a thought about our situation and want to run by you.

CIV_RFK says:
CO: I think I need to wander around a bit. ::louder so that the others can hear:: Jack, that's the only thing that you can do.  The attorney general's office will ratify any move you make.

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Might I also suggest they be on the lookout for anything attempting to go under it as well
 
FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: raises his hands :: CO: Fine Jack, but you have to understand that the Russian aren't going to take this sitting down either.

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
OPS: Alright, walk with me, I need some air too

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: goes outside the office and finds a secure line to call for the boys ::

OPS_Johnson says:
CO: A walk would be good.  ::follows the  CO::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: gets up and heads towards the door the leads to the rose garden :: CTO: Bob we talked about low level recon, get me something in the air.  All: Stretch your legs

OPS_Johnson says:
CIV: Robert, would you join us also?

CTO_Macnamara says:
::places the cup down ::

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: chatters away privately with someone on the phone ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Yes sir

CTO_Macnamara says:
::moves to a phone and places a call to the Navy. Orders up more recce flights::

CIV_RFK says:
OPS: Of course. ::follows along with OPS and the CO::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::scribbles some notes on a pad and replaces the hand set down ::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: walks out into the garden and takes out a pack of cigarettes while waiting ::

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: gets very animated at his end of the phone ::

CIV_RFK says:
::sees that they are out of ear shot from everyone else and looks pointedly at the cigarette:: CO: You are not going to light that thing...are you?

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CIV: You ever see me smoke?  I would turn green.  But this guy did I have to at least look the part
 
CIV_RFK says:
::shakes her head:: CO: These people are disgusting...and I am tired of being a male.  It is extremely messy.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: slams down the phone and wipes the sweat beads from his forehead ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::looks around the office and is lost in deep thought::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CIV: Messy?  I think I take offense
 
OPS_Johnson says:
  CO/CIV: Sir, what if it was mistaken in the enemy we are suppose to stop, what if we are the ones that changed history without knowing it?
My thoughts have been about us. What if we are the ones we were sent back to look for?

CTO_Macnamara says:
FCO: I need food what about you?

CIV_RFK says:
OPS: Except that we know what happened in our timeline and we are keeping that on track.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: walks back through the office and out into the garden :: CO: Jack, we're all set. Command is on it but it's going to take two days to get everything in place.

OPS_Johnson says:
CIV: Yes we are, but if anyone of us makes just one mistake no matter how small, it would have a dramatic effect.

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
FCO: Tell them to quit polishing the chair with their butts and get those ships moving.

CTO_Macnamara says:
::thinks he needs a fresh perspective::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::wanders out into the garden to join the others::

CIV_RFK says:
::shakes her head:: CO/OPS: There is something odd about this.  Everything is on track...so far no one has acted out of character.  So why the hell are we here?

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
CO: They're getting it done Jack, but for all our sakes take a deep breath will you? You're going to blow a gasket or something.

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: sees McNamara :: CTO: Did I hear you say something about food?

CTO_Macnamara says:
FCO: Yeah i could kill for a steak right now

OPS_Johnson says:
CIV: I suggest if we still need to find whatever it is we are to find, we need to concentrate on something that is not obvious, it would only need to be a small change.

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
FCO: Yeah and if I blow a gasket Dean the boom you hear will be earth shattering that is what scares me

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: gives the CTO a thumbs up in agreement on the steak ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: I’ve checked with the CIA, FBI and NSA. The soviet leadership and military is operating as normal for them as we would expect

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
CO: Just remember, you're going to have to tell the American public about this move.

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: Also the navy tells me in 36hrs they will have a flight of RF-8`s up

CIV_RFK says:
::growling:: All: I too have checked and double checked everything and nothing has been out of place.  I have chaffing in body parts I am unused to.  Plus I am running out of excuses as to why I am not sleeping in the same bed as this male's wife.  ::doesn't add that she misses her children::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
CTO: What is it with the navy in this time, did someone tell them it was an order not a request?? :: shakes head ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::smiles at the CIV`s comment::
 
Action: As the CTO finishes his report there is a blinding light and the Crew finds themselves back on the Apache 5 minutes before the voice contacted them the first time.
 
CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: looks around very puzzled ::

CTO_Macnamara says:
::looks around:: Self: Now this is better

FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
:: is back at the helm, her fingers poised over the controls ::

OPS_Johnson says:
::looks around hands run over the console and see the time::  CO: we are back, and about 5 minutes before the voice first contacted us.  This is strange..

CIV_RFK says:
::looks around and sighs with relief at being back in her old body.  Stretches luxuriously and then looks at her console:: CO: I concur.
 
CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
:: looks around sees the ship and Mrlr, cant help but smile :: OPS: 5 minutes before...is this a reset?
 
CTO_Macnamara says:
::moves to tactical and begins running a diagnostic::

CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
All: Report.  Is the ship in one piece and are we in the same place

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: I`m running a full diagnostic. Should have an answer in a sec

OPS_Johnson says:
CO: Seems we are right where we were about the time just moments before the voice contacted us, all ships systems are normal
 
FCO_Dean_Rusk says:
CO: Helm is nominal. All systems operating within standard parameters.

Voice says:
CO: Well Captain it seems you did a great job I thank you.

CIV_RFK says:
CO: Everything appears back as it was...including us.
 
CO_John_F_Kennedy says:
Voice: Thank you.  If I might ask what was changed that we corrected?

CTO_Macnamara says:
CO: I concur with the CIV oh fearless leader

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: nods to the CTO in acknowledgement ::
 
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:; glances over at the CTO :: CTO: I seem to remember something about a steak or was that just a figment of my imagination? :: grins ::
 
CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles::FCO: Why Hope I do believe it was your imagination
  
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: I thought it might be. :: shakes her head and looks back to her controls ::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::chuckles:: FCO: But I will make you a nice New York strip if you insist

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:; doesn't say anything but thinks a filet mignon is more to her liking ::

Voice says:
CO: You ordered the recon flight and the Blockade. Before they weren't ordered and the missiles stayed in Cuba and after while Russia took over the rest of the world

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: moves up behind Mrlr and puts his arms around her, doesn’t care if it looks good to the crew or not::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::notices the action and smiles::
 
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::leans back into his arms and purrs quietly as she listens::

Voice says:
CO: Again I thank you and hope that we don't have to do something like this again.
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: You welcome

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns at the Voice's last comment :: CO: Is he kidding sir? Do this again?

Voice says:
CO: One other thing as this meeting never happened I would not make any reports on what you did.

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: I certainly hope not

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: He just pushed us through time, I don’t think he would hesitate

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Wolf :: CTO: I prefer me with hair. :: rubs her head ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: Any suggestions on explaining the anomaly we were sent to investigate
 
Action: The Apache is being hailed from DS4.

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: So do I ::smiles at her::

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: We have an incoming hail form DS4.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: lets go of Mrlr :: OPS: On screen

Voice says:
CO: If you check you chronometer you will find that you have just left the station a short time ago.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: chuckles and turns to Salor :: OPS: So which do you prefer, bald or with hair?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::puts it on the screen and opens communications::
 
OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
FCO: What is the difference Cmdr.  One you have to comb the other nothing to worry about, but as a Vulcan we do not lose our hair.

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
Voice: Just as long as we didn’t get here back before we left

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: DS4: This is Commander Grey-feather

Cmdr_Drizzle says:
@COM: Apache: Captain I don't know who you know but you are to report back to the station to receive the location where you are to pick up some diplomats and deliver them to Riza

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: I meant on me Lieutenant. :: sighs ::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Self: Ah it`s good to be home

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
::looks at the FCO::  FCO: you would still be you.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: So you don't mind a bald woman?

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Yes but not half as charming or cute

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Thank you Wolf. :: smiles ::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: Your most welcome
 
OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
FCO: For what, might I ask?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: DS4: It must be are gleaming performance reviews.
 
CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Must be your charming smile and demeanor

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks Salor is completely lost on this :: OPS: Never mind Lieutenant, never mind.

Cmdr_Drizzle says:
@COM: Apache: Also we received some orders for you to pass along I am sending them now. Drizzle out.

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
FCO: is this some kind of humor that I am not understanding?

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: DS4: Standing by to receive orders.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Shall I set course back to the station?

Cmdr_Drizzle says:
:: closes the COM::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: just smiles at Salor ::
 
CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sits patiently at his console glad to be home::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: goes over to his console on the command chair and reads the orders using his authorization codes:: Outloud: This is bad…

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::raises an eyebrow ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns :: CO: Bad sir?

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CO: It cannot be any worse then what we just went through.
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Yes it’s a transfer order for one of the bridge crew
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: It appears the Commander Wolf will no longer be assigned to this ship as our CTO :: looks disappointed ::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::looks in surprise:: Self: great where are they sending me now

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances at Wolf ::

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: transfers the orders to a padd:: CTO: Mr. Wolf front and center

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::stands to and moves to stand in front of the Captain:: CO: Sir

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: According to Starfleet command you will immediately begin your duties at your new posting.  Executive Officer...of the USS Apache

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: hands him the padd::

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::takes the PADD:: CO: Thank you sir

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
::smiles :: All: Wonderful we have a new exec and with that he gets a big raise. Guess we know who's buying those steaks now, right crew?

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::snaps of a sharp salute::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::grins and applauds:: CTO: Congratulations!

CTO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::blushes::
 
CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Well done commander.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Well done Commander.....errr....Boss.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Thank you sir

OPS_Ltjg_Salor says:
CTO: Good luck on your new assignment Cmdr.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Might I recommend Leftenant Salor as my replacement

CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope bring us about and take us back to DS4, Mr. Wolf needs a new uniform :: smiles ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:; grins :: CO: Aye Captain.
