Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The Arondight continues under tow of the T'Kon vessel.  They are roughly 30 minutes away from the T'Kon base on the edge of the nebula.  The senior staff has gathered in the Captain's quarters to bring the CO up to date while there T'Kon guest is still on the bridge.

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

CO_Loran says:
::waits for all to arrive::

CSO_Taliza says:
::in captain's quarters::

CEO_Syren says:
::adjusts his side arm and takes a seat on the CO's couch::

XO_McDuggle says:
@::Rechecks scans of the planet::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
:: medical kit over her shoulder Rangi heads into the CO's quarters::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::enters the CO's room and looks around, almost immediately noticing the CEO's sidearm...  makes a note to "chat" about this after the meeting::

FCO_Chottu says:
::in the captains quarters::

CEO_Syren says:
::sees the CNS enter and flashes her a sweet smile::

CSO_Taliza says:
::sees the CEO smile at the CNS, wonders what is going on::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::wonders how in all her many, many years of being a peaceful person one engineer could manage to make her so irritated just by being himself...  is calm on the outside but on the inside is very uncharacteristically driven towards rage activities::

CO_Loran says:
::sees that everybody but Lt. Williams as arrived and decides he can't wait::  All:  What is going on?

FCO_Chottu says:
::looks around the room, wondering who'll be first to speak up::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: We are currently being tractored by an extinct race to one of their starbases.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Well, extinct in our timeline.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::clears her throat:: CO: The T'Kon accused us of invading their space, and managed to board while our shields were still down.

CO_Loran says:
::stands there listening to the reports::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: Given the time period they do have a point. This may be federation space in our time but this is their land err space now.

XO_McDuggle says:
@::confirms what the first scans show and starts through the records to see what might have happened that could have cause what happened to the planet::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CO: Apparently, they see any foreign presence in their space as hostile, and without violating the temporal prime directive we can't do a lot to prove otherwise.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I do have a little good news.

CO_Loran says:
CNS:  Well, sending us to Red Alert didn't disapprove of us not being hostile.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: even now we are changing time. The best we can do is lessen the impact we have on this time period.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CO: Their weapons were charged, so it was a necessary course of action.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: Nether did the plasma conduit exploding looking like we were shooting them with  plasma

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I've found a way to use an artificial chronoton field in concert with weak points in subspace to get us back to our time frame as well as to where Cmdr. McDuggle could be.

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Well, since our weapons were powered up when it happened, I could see why.  If they had not been powered up, it might have been seen differently.

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  That is good to hear.  And can you find weak points in subspace easily?

XO_McDuggle says:
@::sees something that couldn't possible be right and rechecks his findings::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I've had problems finding it.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sensors aren't up to snuff  yet.

CEO_Syren says:
CO: With the need for propulsion out of our hands I’ve moved more people to Sensors and shields. In a few minutes they should be back to specs

CO_Loran says:
CEO:  Well, we may be getting a tow, but, I would rather be under our own power.

CEO_Syren says:
::stares at the CNS:: CO: I would too

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::stares right back, is really tired of being the polite one right about now::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: What is going to happen when we reach the star base?

CO_Loran says:
::watches the two in a staring contest::  CEO/CNS:  What is going on between you two?

CEO_Syren says:
CO: Absolutely nothing sir. 

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: ETA to T'Kon station is 15 minutes

OPS_Loudmouth says:
*CO*: Sir we are 15 minutes from the T'kon Base.

CO_Loran says:
::looks at the Counselor::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::looks back and forth from the CNS & CEO then shrugs and turns back to the CO::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods:: CO: Nothing at all.

CO_Loran says:
CEO:  When will main power be up to full power?

FCO_Chottu says:
::leans back and sighs, then leans forward not about to sit through the CNS and CEO explode:: CO: All information on the T'Kon is restricted to senior staff, but I suggest we take more action to hide where we're from.

CEO_Syren says:
CO: Just about the time we arrive at their base, the explosion set us back a bit

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CO: If Mr.  Taliza  can get us back it still means we have to deal with them until he does so.  At the moment we are ::hears the com:: 15 minutes from facing them.  We are unclear if it is even 'safe' to meet with them.  If they had any unusual  disease we could be putting our people at danger. In fact those that came over could be one too.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I know this goes against the temporal prime directive, but I think we should tell them the truth.

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Well, who says that our presence here isn't what caused their empire to fall?

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  The information we have on their empire is at best, sketchy and at worst, fragmented.

FCO_Chottu says:
::covers his eyes and leans back into the chair after the CSO's suggestion:: CO: Their star went supernova, we're not likely to cause that sir.

CO_Loran says:
FCO:  That doesn't explain how the rest of their empire fades into extinction.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  Don’t get me started on cultures sir.  We would never hear the end of it.

CO_Loran says:
All:  Anything else to report?

XO_McDuggle says:
@:: Looks at the readings not believing his eye:: Computer: Run possible ways that the scan reading could have happened?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: No, sir.

CEO_Syren says:
::shakes his head no::

CO_Loran says:
All:  Then lets return to our stations and try to get out of here.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Through the port in the Captain's quarters the nebula can be seen fading away to be replaced by the standard dark star filled void.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::sighs and heads back to sickbay::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::exits captain's quarters and heads to the TL:: Computer: Bridge.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
CNS:  Now that went great....

CEO_Syren says:
::comes up beside the CNS and whispers:: CNS: I'm surprised that you didn't say anything to the CO...not that it changes anything ::heads down the corridor::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CMO: You're telling me...  excuse me for a moment, I have to take care of something.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
Self: Ok, Keyser we'll play this your way.

CEO_Syren says:
::comes up the TL and steps in when it arrives::

CEO_Syren says:
Computer: Main Engineering

CO_Loran says:
::after everybody has left, he sinks onto his couch, his head pounding::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the bridge crew return to their stations they can see a view of the T'Kon base on the viewscreen.  It is massive, easily 4 times the size of a large Starfleet outpost.  There are at least 50 vessels of all sizes docked or in the general vicinity.  The outpost seems to be quite busy.

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::hears the CEO's walk by and thinks :: GIT!     CNS: I thought I just did....:: watches her walk away::  well drat.  Is it my breath. ::shrugs and continues on::

CSO_Taliza says:
::exits TL and takes science 1::

FCO_Chottu says:
::counting this as a reminder of why he never speaks up, heads towards the bridge and takes Flight::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::thinks for a moment and taps her comm:: SEC_Gruber: I need you to keep an eye on Engineering for me, as the CEO is not choosing to follow the weapon restriction that I had recommended for him.  Stay out of the way, don’t cause trouble; However, make sure he doesn't shoot any more of his junior officers.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::hopes that corrects the situation for a moment, as now is not an opportune time for a power struggle between herself and the CEO, and continues to the bridge::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Telemetry comes into the flight console of where to dock.

CEO_Syren says:
::walks up to the MSD and orders up a status report:: Self: Good, good...everything's on track

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The T'Kon visitor J'Larna has, for the moment, returned to her own vessel which releases the Arondight from the tractor beam in order to allow it to dock.

OPS_Loudmouth says:
::listens to the COM channels for any thing::

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::takes her seat and observes the rest of the bridge crew::

CO_Loran says:
::the pounding in his head has subsided for now, he gets up, puts on his jacket and walks out of his quarters and to the TL::  TL:  Bridge.

CEO_Syren says:
<Macxa> CEO: Sir, we have main power coming up across the board

OPS_Loudmouth says:
::thinks after listening a little while that his could be Starfleet for all the chatter that is going on::

CEO_Syren says:
Macxa: Good, get the shields ready. We might have to fight our way out...I hope

FCO_Chottu says:
::without saying much of anything, heads the ship towards the station::

CMO-Rangi-Taiahiao says:
::grumbling heads back into sickbay::

CO_Loran says:
::feels his head start to pound a little again just as the TL arrives on the bridge.  He walks out and goes to take his seat in his chair::

CSO_Taliza says:
::takes sensor readings of the station::

FCO_Chottu says:
::docks the ship:: CO: Docked sir.

CO_Loran says:
All:  Do not open any airlocks.  We will stay locked up in here.

OPS_Loudmouth says:
CO: Hailing frequencies opened sir.

CEO_Syren: 
    ::hears the docking clamps attach:: Macxa: Do not transfer to Starbase power, we need to be                                                            
    able to leave at a moment's notice

 CO_Loran: 
     COM:  T'Kon:  This is Captain Loran of the Arondight.  If we could speak with the initial         
      person our ship made contact with, I would appreciate it.

FCO_Chottu:
     ::crosses arms and leans back, closing his eyes::

CEO_Syren: 
    ::notices a security officer lurking in the background and wonders why he's here::

FCO_Chottu says:
::nods at a relief FCO to take flight and starts walking towards a TL::

OPS_Loudmouth says:
CO: Sir we are being asked to have 3 rep to report to the station.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I guess that would mean you, me and Dom.

CEO_Syren says:
::Keyser slowly moves in the direction of the security officer but he always seems to move away whenever Keyser gets close::

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  I really would not want to send anybody over there, especially 3 different races.  I would rather talk on here or through com links.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, we're in their time line, in their house, so we have to play by their rules.

XO_McDuggle says:
@::sees what the Computer has come up with:: Computer: Explain why Omega Particles weren't detected on our original scans.

CO_Loran says:
CSO:  And if that means their destruction because of our interfering in their timeline?

FCO_Chottu says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Engineering.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Then it's their fault.  Their rules.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CO: If we're willing to meet them face to face, it may help in our quest to convince them we're not here with bad intentions.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The comm request is repeated.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I agree with the counselor.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CO: The more we seem to venture out of our "safe" zone, the less threatening we will appear.

OPS_Loudmouth says:
CO: Sir they are requesting are 3 reps soon.

FCO_Chottu says:
::enters engineering and looks around for the CEO::

CEO_Syren says:
::gives up trying to corner Gruber and returns to his MSD when the FCO enters:: 

CO_Loran says:
CNS/CSO:  I do not agree, because this will further violate the temporal rules.  But, it seems like we aren't going to get them to answer our communications request.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
CO: That's not surprising... our previous encounter with them indicated that they were not interested in doing anything by any other method than their own.

FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the CEO and walks towards him:: CEO: Lt., sir, do you have a minute?

CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Inform them we are sending 3 over.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, Ms. J'Larna might be there too.

OPS_Loudmouth says:
CO: Roger Sir Also they said that J'Larna would be there .

CEO_Syren says:
::a frown forms on his face:: FCO: You only need one...Lt. or sir, although Keyser's fine

CO_Loran says:
CSO/CNS:  You are both on the team.  Do not, and I repeat, do NOT bring any recording devices or any other devices.  I also want all of us to go through quarantine before and after this meeting.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods::

FCO_Chottu says:
::figures politeness to be best at this specific moment:: CEO: I realize it's quite busy for your staff right now but I would really like help from one of your staff, perhaps Macxa, to take a look at the data we have on the tractor beam they used on it, incase we need to make a run for it.

XO_McDuggle says:
@Computer: Is it possible that we set off an Omega Particle detention when we created the warp bubble?

FCO_Chottu says:
CEO: There has to be a way to break free from it and chances are fair we'll need to later on.

FCO_Chottu says:
CEO: Lt.. sir..

CEO_Syren says:
::still not pleased that he made Macxa cry:: FCO: You can have her for a few minutes.  

FCO_Chottu says:
::raises hands:: CEO: Fair enough, that's all I ask sir.

CEO_Syren says:
FCO: But I’ll be watching you! make sure she's um happy
