 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Well if nothing else the Romulans know how to keep their secrets. :: smiles at her ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::chuckles:: CO: Makes it all the more fun to ferret them out.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Very good, maintain warp 6. That Should get us there a little a head of schedule.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Always on the hunt. :: grins and walks over and sits in his chair ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: Makes himself comfortable in his new chair and looks over the bridge::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Brings the Apache to warp 6 and maintains course::
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: watches him walk away with a very puzzled look:: Out loud: Is there anything else?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: turns his gave to the main viewer::
 
Action: LRS picks up a small shuttle like craft that seems to just suddenly have appeared there.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::the console beeps::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the sensors:: CO: I'm picking up a small shuttle like craft.  It just suddenly appeared.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Sir, i am detecting a small craft that has just appeared out of nowhere.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Civ/CTO: Romulan?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Confirming that on navigational sensors as well.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: scanning now.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Any tachyon emissions, did it decloak or just enter sensor range?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO/CO: The shuttle is unknown, it is defiantly not Romulan.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Bring it up on main viewer. Let’s have a look.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: shakes her head:: CO: No tachyon emissions...but wait...hold on...::listens closely::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: switched it to main viewer ::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Is it on an intercept course

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I'm getting a general hail from the craft....it's to any Starfleet Vessels in the area.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks up at the image on the viewer::

Action: As the shuttle comes up on the main viewer it looks like a Federation shuttle but not any that is known.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Open a channel

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: runs it through the computer::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CIV: Any sign of temporal distortions?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: sir, it does not match any Federation vessel in the data banks.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Channel open

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: none that we can pick up

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: No sir. She's about a half parsec off our course, but she's just sitting there.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Unknown Shuttle : This is the USS Apache how can we be of assistance

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Life signs?

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Is it moving or dead in the water?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: it is stationary sir, i recommend raising shields. It is an unknown.

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Why yes Captain Permission to come aboard?

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: By the book...very well take us to yellow alert

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::raises the ships alert status to yellow::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::quietly:: CO: I'm starting to pick up temporal distortions in the area.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: acknowledges the yellow alert ::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman: Well In think I am going to need a bit more information before I open my shuttle bay to an unknown vessel

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I can not scan within the vessel.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Be ready to take us to red alert

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: How close to the Apache

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: continues to try and run an id search ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: It seems to have shielding to deflect scans, and I see no outward weaponry at all.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: It's around that vessel.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Does the temporal displacement pose a threat to the Apache

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Ah yes quite right Captain. My name is Ronald Goldman and I am from your future and would just like to observe you during this mission.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Skipper we should be mindful of the Temporal Prime Directive

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO; If it is displacing time sir, I would recommend keeping our distance from it.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head:: CO: No...They are already starting to dissipate.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman : From the future you say.  Then you know that I cannot allow that.  Anything you do or alter could have drastic effects on my ship and crew.  We have strict directives about temporal interference

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Acknowledged
FCO: Maintain this distance from the shuttle

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sits forward in his chair a little::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, maintaining current distance from unknown vessel.

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: I quite understand Captain and I don't intend to interfere with the mission just observe.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: If it attempts to close distance then take evasive manoeuvres

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Captain his mere presence here could already affect the timeline

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: Cmdr, If what he says is true , it could jeopardize the mission, the Romulans will not like seeing this strange vessel along with us.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: I concur Mr Salor.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman : I cannot break the temporal directive, if you had approval from Starfleet command that would be different.  You say you don’t intend to interfere but if you are a time traveler you know that the slightest change can have cascading consequences

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, since we are about to enter the Neutral Zone, which is a cautious situation at best, I would not recommend bringing someone aboard that could create an incident should we meet the Romulans.

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

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances at the XO for a moment ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: lowers his voice:: CO: Captain I don’t like this.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I agree, and have no intention of doing so without orders from an admiral
XO: Welcome to the bigger chair :: grins ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: it would be illogical to take this person at his word alone without even a prrove of evidence to his claims.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::smiles at the CO::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Very true Captain but these events have already played out in my time and my being her will not make any difference. However if you don't decide to allow me to join you now I could just join you at Nimbus and maybe then thing will change.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: motions to the CIV to mute the COM ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: mutes the COM::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: whispers to the XO :: XO: Sir, if he already knows what's happened, then why does he need to observe us?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: My thoughts exactly commander

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: Now we have troubles, if this doorknob from the future just appears in the neutral zone all hell is going to break loose

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: That is an understatement sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: He seems insistent on sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: If he is truly an authorized time traveller...he would never do anything to break the temporal directive.  So he has just proven himself to be not who he says he is by that statement alone.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: I have to agree, his actions are a threat

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
XO: Well I cannot allow him to restart the Romulan/Federation war
:: motions to unmute the COM ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: We may have affected the Timeline by merely speaking to him

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: unmutes the COM::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps the edge of her console anxiously ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: waits for someone to speak ::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman : Your cavalier attitude about showing up at Nimbus questions the validity of who you claim to be.  Such action would provoke a war, I cannot allow that.  If you attempt to follow us or enter the neutral zone I will have no choice but to bring the full weapons of this ship to bare against you

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Captain we don't need to get violent here that is why I chose this spot to meet you so that it would not affect the timeline. And besides if you bring you weapons to bear on me I will just disappear from here and reappear some where else.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, perhaps we should be asking the question of why he wants to observe our mission?

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman : That’s okay I have plenty of ammo.  In fact I can shoot all I want and they make more.  If you attempt to follow us into the neutral zone I will fire on you, if you appear in the neutral zone the Romulans wont have to shoot you I will.  And I may not hit you on the first shot.  But averages say I will get lucky...how lucky do you feel

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sits forward and looks at the monitor::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Actually captain I am not counting on luck I am counting on the advance shields and the temporal drive of this ship. I have been threatened like this before and I am still here.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
FCO: This bloke is really getting on my nerves

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman : If you are here to observe then riddle me this, if it already happened in your time.  Why do you need to watch it in mine.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: stands and walks to stand beside the CTO::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: lowers his voice:: CTO: Salor can you hit him? You’ll only have one chance

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: gives Wolf a knowing nod ::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Captain I am an historian. While we have all the fact about what happened here during this time I would like to be able to observe how things were actually done. To be able to see how you all react to what come up and just how you came to the decisions you made.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
XO: I have  better idea,  i can transport a photon torpedo on his location and detonate as soon as it materialize.  I can lock onto the area with transporters,  I can not lock weapons without him knowing or even if i can lock weapons at all with is shielding.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::nods approvingly:: CTO: Be ready to do it on the Captains order

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::moves back to his chair::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: types a message from the console on his chair to the FCO, "ever done the 
Picard manoeuvre?"::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees a certain look on Salor's face as he's talking to the XO and wonders what the two of them are plotting ::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Just to be able to see what emotions were happening during this time would be of great value to me.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::programs a torp. to detonate on transport and readying transporters to beam the torp to the locations of the ship::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: No matter the danger to the participants of that time line?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the message and replies in text :: CO: No sir, but I'm game to give it a shot.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sits and turns his gave back to the monitor::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Really Captain that is where the excitement comes in to be there when the decisions are made no matter what the cost.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman: And how do I know you are not some profiteer from some other time.  We have reports of another ship dealing with such an even.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: turns to the XO :: XO: Lets see it was a captain by the name of....Picard :: winks at the XO hoping he gets the insinuation ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::nods at the Captain getting the hint::

 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Unfortunately Captain there you will just have to take my word on it because if I was to allow you to see inside my ship it would alter the timeline.
XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::moves back in his chair::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
:: sends a text to the CTO and FCO, "Picard manoeuvre and fire at the end of my countodwn::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the message and prepares to alter course ::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman: I am sorry for you what is an acceptable risk is one I am not willing to take.  You have till the count of 3 to clear the sector

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::reading the transporters::
 Goldman says:
@COM: Apache: Then I will see if the Romulans would like me to observe.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Now i definitely don’t like him

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
COM: Goldman: Like I said .......1........2........3

Action: The ship disappears.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks to herself that the Romulans will eat him for dinner ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:

CO: It's gone.
CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: :;chuckling:: I would love to see the reception he gets from the Romulans. ::grins::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CIV: Full sensor sweep

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Contact DS4 and have them make the Romulans aware of a rogue temporal agent.   Don’t have tell them it ours just a rogue

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::runs a full sensor sweep:: XO: nothing but a temporal distortion in this area, most likely from when je vanished.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Navigational sensors clear. Resume course for Nimbus?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::swears::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye. ::sends the message and also sends a discrete message to a few of her friends to keep an eye out for him::

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Full targeting sweep, use all bands including metallurgical

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Resume course and speed

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir, resuming former course, warp 6.

 CO_Cmdr_Grey-feather says:
All: So much for a milk run to Risa :: smirks ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: understood sir.  If we continue on our previse course it may be prudent to raise our shields  the Romulans will not take kindly to his interference and come at us in retaliation.
