USS Arondight transcript 10703.18
First Officer's Log Stardate 10703.18
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
With the Captain falling ill to the flu, I need to step up and continue the investigation. Our next step is to figure out the source of the rift and send the Arondight-A and the Bajoran vessel back through.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
While my crew handles that, I'll cheat fate to speak with Captain Varun to get to the bottom of the Captain's agression to destroy the Bajoran vessel.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Anomaly Beta III >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::at SCI 1 watching the end of a simulation she was running::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: Keep monitoring the Bajoran vessel as well as the rift::
Capt_Varun says:
@::Sitting in his ready room:: *Lt Henry*: Get me Captain Yates.
Capt_Varun says:
@<Lt Henry>: Varun: Aye Captain. ::Hails the Arondight::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::reviewing the status of shields and weapons::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Sir the Arondight A is hailing us wanting Captain Yates. Shall I tell them that the captain is ill and the they will have to wait?
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::sitting on the bridge:: FCO: Get me Captain Varun.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns:: CNS: Lieutenant Commander Jakiel.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::walks onto the bridge and looks around for the Captain but doesn't see her:: CIV: Yes, Glinn? ::walks over to science and leans against it::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: No problem sir he is hailing us. On screen.
Capt_Varun says:
@::Leans over in his chair, and taps the console:: COM: Arondight: This is Captain Varun, where is Captain Yates?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notes that the damage to shields is minimal and contacts Engineering for an update on repairs::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::points at the console screen:: CNS: I was running three different simulations on various ways for us to open a stable rift. Unfortunately one seems to be fatal for the Arondight and the second results in the loss of 10% of the ship and roughly 75 lives...
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Arondight-A: This is Commander Madson, Captain Yates has fallen ill. You'll need to speak with me for the time being.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV: I hope your third one is a little better?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks up at the viewscreen::
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: Commander Madson, I need to talk to you in private. There is something that you and your captain must know.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: keeps the ship between the Arondight-A and the bajoran ship while still monitoring the rift::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::glances over at the viewscreen, listening to Captain Varun::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: Your intelectual deduction astounds me Commander. ::smiles briefly:: My Cardassian intellect came up with this simulation ::hits a few keys which start an image showing the two Arondights emitting beams at a converging point in the anomaly::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: sir you have a secure line in the Ready Room.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The CTO's console beeps as the minor repairs to the ships shields are done.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks back down at the console::
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Varun: I'll speak with you from the ready-room. One moment Captain. ::stands up and heads for the ready-room::
CNS: You have the bridge.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: In this simulation, both Arondights harmonize the anti-protons in their deflector dish and emit an anti-proton beam at this point within the rift then we launch exactly five photons at this point and it should open a temporal rift back to their time. ::turns to see what she thinks of the idea::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: transfer the COM to the secure line in the ready room::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As Ki looks at his console he can see a speck of dust on the console near his reflection.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::steps into the ready-room and over to the console:: COM: Verun: This is a secure channel. Continue.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::leans closer to the small screen:: CIV: I'm not a science officer, but the computer knows as much as anyone. What is the percentage of probability that the computer says this will work?
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: Commander, what I am about to tell you is breaking the Temporal Directive. You are only to communicate this to your captain
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::walks over to stand by the Captain's chair after Scott goes into his ready room:: CIV: Please continue...
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::ignores the dust::
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Varun: I'm going to assume we have mucked it all up by now, so go ahead.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::pulls up the probability of success calculation on the screen:: CNS: 78.31905 percent.
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: 
About 20 years into the future from your time the Bajorans began to build up their defenses after a new government was rushed in. They believed in expanding the borders. The Bajorans wanted an ally to help them expand. The Federation began negotiations but failed.
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: In one a strategic move the Cardassian government lead by Marat, allied with them in a striking blow to the Federation. By that time Marat had been promoted to Legate and military advisor to the Cardassian Counsel.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: Lieutenant are you keeping a close scan on the weapons status of the Arondight-A?
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::thinks for a moment:: CIV: That is going to have to be sufficient. Well thought out, Glinn. Is there any aspect of your last theory that could be tweaked to get it a few points higher?
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: 
After about five years of upgrading the Bajorans, they attacked a small outpost near the Klingon border. The USS Horatio, the closest ship responded and found themselves overwhelmed and fell back. That agression flamed what became the Bajoran War. And now all sides are involved, it has gotten messy with both sides at heavy losses.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
FCO: Why? Are they looking to fire on us?
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::scratches her head slightly:: CNS: I believe my superior intellect has covered all possible variables but I am open to anything anyone else has to offer.
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: Do you see where I am coming from Commander?
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: I am more worried about them trying to fire on the bajoran ship.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shrugs:: FCO: It would be suicide for us to try and stop them.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: That is what I am afraid of and since I am keeping the our ship between them I figure that we will be the first that would be hit.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV: Alright, consult with engineering on the anti-proton harmonizing and also get with tactical about the five photons. I want their input, too, before we start setting up implementation. ::smiles and chuckles:: Glinn, I'm glad you are so confident in your intellect, but let's see what others have to add, too.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Varun: I see, so in the next six months, Marat should find herself in an unfortunate airlock incident? ::chuckles a bit:: Sorry about the humor, but yes. I can see where you are coming from. We need to get you and that other ship back through the rift.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::thinks the FCO worries too much::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::nods briefly at the CNS before sending a copy of her proposal to the CEO and then stepping over to the CTO's Console::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the CIV as she approaches::
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: But there is another problem to this... The Bajorans have developed a new weapon, or sorts to open a rift in time. Starfleet caught wind of it and sent us to investigate. We then found the weapon and was attacked. We have scanned the ship that is disabled and the weapon is there.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::smirks briefly at the CTO:: CTO: I need your input on an idea to open a temporal rift for the Arondight-A to return to their time. If you'll please run simulation Marat Delta Three.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Verun: Ok, so what is the problem. Can't you use that to re-open the rift and go back?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::raises an eyebrow but does as requested::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the console::
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: We believe there is more than one...
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::watches as the simulation displays the two Arondights emitting an anti-proton beam into the rift followed by five photons and the opening of a rift::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::waits to see how long it might stay open::
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::sighs:: COM: Varun: Where do you suspect that one to be?
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: What is your opinion? Do you foresee any adverse effects?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CIV: Other than the slight possibility of the Arondight A blowing up, none at all.
Capt_Varun says:
@COM: Arondight: We are not sure yet. But from what we gather the other ship might be using it to come here.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::shrugs:: CTO: Better them than us.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
::makes a few adjustment to keep the ship where it is suppose to be::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::chuckles:: CIV: The Bajoran ship wouldn't stand a chance unless they get their shields repaired. Wouldn't it just be easier to.... ::voice trails off::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CTO: I don't see why the Arondight-A couldn't envelope the Bajorans within their shields and tractor them across the threshold
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The CTO's console beeps as there is a power increase from the Bajoran ship.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Self: What the... ::checks the tactical scans of the Bajoran ship carefully::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::has been listening to the Glinn's and Ki's discussion and shakes her head, turning to the tactical officer:: CTO: We've already done and said too much I'm afraid. The Bajoran ship and the Arondight-A need to stay intact and get on their side of that rift. Do you think you could help the Bajoran ship's shields get repaired?
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::notes the power increase on the CTO's console::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: The Bajoran ship has her weapons back up.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::returns to her console to prepare for the inevitable battle::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: thinks to herself Great just what we need:: CTO: maybe we should just let the Arondight-A have at it?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Bajoran Ship fires a beam into the Anomaly creating a rift.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Varun: The Bajoran vessel coming through? Are you suggesting there is another on the way?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: Her shields are still down.... ummmm.... ::looks up at the viewscreen::
Capt_Varun says:
@::Hears a comm from the bridge:: COM: Arondight: Commander it is best if you get back to your bridge.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::taps her combadge:: *XO*: Commander, the Bajorans are powering up again. FCO: Shelaya, I need you to hail that Bajoran ship.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: Sees the rift opening:: CNS: They are firing into the rift and opening it again.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: Commander... I'm reading an energy buildup in the anomaly. They are opening another rift
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: Suggest we lock them in a tractor beam
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders if they are running away or opening the door for more to follow::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: And suggest the Arondight-A goes back through it taking the Bajorans with them.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV/CTO: Is there any way to close that rift or are the Bajorans heading for the rift? They might be making our job easier.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
*CNS*: Get the fighters after it.
COM: Varun: It seems our friends are trying to get somewhere.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The rift slowly opens up. The Bajoran ship slowly limps into the anomaly.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: She's moving back towards it.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: Hailing the ship now Ma'am.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: The Bajorans are entering. Suggest we tell Varun to get a move on it before it closes!
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: Ready a tractor beam, but don't do it until I signal.... ::hears Scott:: Get our fighters over to the Bajoran ship!
Capt_Varun says:
@::Nods::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
FCO: You'll have to get us in range.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*XO*: Sir, the Bajoran ship is heading into the anomaly. Should we let it go? And I assume Varun sees that? Now's his opportunity to get back to his time.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notifies the flight deck to prepare to launch:: CNS: Seems the hard way to go about it.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The surrounding fighters begin attacking and trying to disable the ship.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CTO: I am getting in range now Lt
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight-A moves into the anomaly as well.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks toward the CNS:: Let her go or stop her?
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
*CNS*: Do not allow our fighters to pursue the vessel into the rift.
COM: Varun: You better hury. Madson out. ::closes the channel from the console and heads back onto the bridge::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: Tell your fighters to retreat and hold fire until we see what happens...
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: The Arondight is heading for the rift also.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::signals the fighters to break off their attack::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO: Thank you, Ensign. Let's hope it's as simple as letting them go. All: Keep reporting.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: brings the ship to station keeping just out side of the rift::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*XO*: Yessir, fighters pulled back to allow both ships back into the anomaly.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: We are at station keeping ma'am
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As the Bajoran ship enters the rift, the Arondight-A follows it. A Tractor beam is shot out from the Bajoran ship and attempts to lock onto the Arondight.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: Report from Science Commander. My console won't seem to display in Cardassian. It's quite a tragedy really.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: The Bajoran ship is attempting to capture the Arondight A in a tractor beam. ::watches::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::feels a sudden jolt on the ship::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: sees the tractor beam and back the ship away to avoid it::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods at Shelaya:: FCO: Good, hold that position for now. CIV: Glinn, don't bother me with sarcasm like that. This situation is tense enough... ::looks over at the tactical officer:: CTO: Not good...I'll let Commander Madson know. Keep me informed.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The tractor gets a hold of the Arondight and is slowly being pulled into the anomaly.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*XO*: Sir, the Bajoran ship has us in a tractor hold.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::steps on the bridge to see the tractor beam in the viewscreen:: FCO: Reverse impulse!
CTO: Open fire on the Bajoran vessel, full spread of torpedoes!
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CNS: I think you misunderstood my intentions. ::continues to try and convert the lingual display:: It really won't convert to Cardassian.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at the XO as if he's nuts but targets the Bajoran ship anyway::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: brings the engines to full reverse to try and stop the ship from being drawn in:: CTO: Lt see if you can rotate the shield frequencies and disengage that tractor beam.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
XO: We have no idea what effect our weapons will have in the rift.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CIV: And this is important why? You can read Federation Standard. Or is the computer in error?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::opens fire::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::sighs and decides to continue and read in Federation standard as the CNS requests and scans to see what effect the CTO's weapons will have::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Bajoran ship enters the rift, as the photons hit the outer perimeter of the Anomaly. The photons spark a massive explosion within the anomaly.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::winces::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::watches the sensor readouts go wild from the explosion::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Arondight-A speeds up and enters the rift as the tractor beam disengages.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::watches in disbelief at the turn of events::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::scans to see if our motion is still in a forward progression::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The explosion ripples into the rift and causes a massive shockwave.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: feels the tractor beam release and does a momentary warp to move the ship away from the rift::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
All: Brace for impact! Shockwave inbound!
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
All: Shockwave. Brace for impact. ::reinforces the shields::
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::sees the shockwave and still can't exhale:: FCO: Get us out of here!
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO: Are we moving away? ::abruptly takes a seat in her chair and tries to hang on::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: turns the ship and jumps to warp::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::feels the tension mount from everyone's minds and winces::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: At warp 2 now sir.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight warps out just in time. As the shockwave misses them.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Before the explosion, the OPS panel records a message that was transmitted to the Arondight.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::relaxes::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
<NoDuz> XO: Sir I have a message that was transmitted just before the explosion. do you want it on screen or in the RR?
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
NoDuz: The Ready-Room. ::gets up and heads to the ready-room::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
<NoDuz>XO; Aye Sir :: transfers the COM to the RR::
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::idly wonders what the message says::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::gets up to take the Captain's seat again:: FCO: Ensign, are we completely safe from that shockwave? CTO: Where are the two ships in question now?
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::steps into the RR and looks at the Console::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Static is heard on the console
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
XO: Sir, do you have any perticular place you want me to go or should I bring the ship to a stop.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: Checking
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: Yes ma'am, shall I bring the ship to a full stop?
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO: If we're out of danger, go ahead and bring the ship to a stop until Commander Madson decides what to do next.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::fiddles on the console to try and clean up the signal::
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
CNS: Aye Ma'am :: bring the ship to full stop::
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: They both have vanished into the rift.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The picture is slowly clearing up in the ready room.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::breathes a sigh of relief:: CTO: I hope this is over then.
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::keeps fiddling with the signal::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The XO gets the picture clearer, a Bajoran Symbol appears.
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CNS: The anomaly appears to have collapsed as well.
FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: makes a check on the engine status::
Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Self: Bajoran?
CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::continues running scans::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CTO: Then that's it. I hope there are no untoward consequences.
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::yawning with her usual excitement::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The screen displays Marat's face a bit older. Behind her is Admiral Winters, struggling with the two guards. She looks back at the Admiral and smiles. She mouths "If you want him back come and get him, Yates"
