Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Captains Log Star Date 10303.07 It seems that Q out my crew and myself into the worse possible scenarios imaginable... our darkest fears. It seems that he had a bet with another Q, what the exact terms were and the wagers, I do not know at this time. I hope that he leaves soon after we got him in trouble with the other Q.

CEO_Russel says:
::On the bridge at the ENG station, lost in thought.::

CTO_Peters says:
::On the bridge at TAC 1::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Medici and the Artemis are still inside the Nebula, trying to figure out a way to get home.

TO_Sky says:
::calls Topper over and starts going over the new assignments and how things should be handled::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::exits TL looks around the bridge::

OPS_Mades says:
::double checks his console:: FCO: Board's green

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::sitting in his chair:: CSO: Have you come up with a solution to our problem Mr. K'Tor?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: Good, we'll need it

CIV_Lamberson says:
::slowly walks over to TAC 1:: CTO: How are you Lt.?

CSO_KTor says:
CO_McPherson-Quest: We have determined that we may be in our own universe, and that we must prevent the Medici from attacking the Klingon shuttle.

OPS_Mades says:
::turns to the FCO::  FCO: Probably, but for what is the question.

TO_Sky says:
::nods at Topper and sends the file up to Zoe:: *CTO*: Ma'am I have just sent you the new security schedule.

CSO_KTor says:
CO_McPherson-Quest: However, even if we do that, there is no evidence that it would help us travel forward to our own time.

CSO_KTor says:
CO_McPherson-Quest: For that, we would need another method, perhaps using the nebula's own anomaly.

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: This nebula has been a nice place to visit, but I think I speak for everyone when I say 'I'm ready to go home.'

CTO_Peters says:
CIV:  Good day Stephen..  I'm not too bad, you?  Oh how is our favorite Ensign doing?

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Complaining as usual... but I'm working on that. ::grins::

OPS_Mades says:
::nods:: FCO: You won't get any argument from me, but what about the Medici?  ::looks at the other ship looming on the view screen::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks down at her console.::  *TO*:  I got it... ::Grins at Stephen.::  Why don't you join us on the bridge?

FCO_Teasley says:
OPS: I don't know

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: Start working on a possible solution to using the nebulas' anomaly

CTO_Peters says:
CIV:  Any indication on what went wrong with him?  I know he was supposed to go for a counseling session?

TO_Sky says:
::sighs:: *CTO*: If I am needed I can come up...if not I have a few security rounds to make.

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Ok, it's quite for the moment, but be prepared to come up at a moment’s notice.

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Aye ma'am, Sky out. ::stands up putting things away and prepares to head out on rounds::

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: Not as of yet... but of course the counseling department is reluctant to share anything.... You know client privileges and all.

CSO_KTor says:
::Checks something on sensors:: CO: Sir, gravitational forces from the anomaly are increasing.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Incoming message from the Medici.

OPS_Mades says:
CO:  Sir, incoming hail.

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: CIV:  I hope they don't get too closed mouthed before he endangers the ship once again.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: On screen Mr. Mades

TO_Sky says:
::heads out and makes the first stop in sickbay...walks in looking around::

OPS_Mades says:
::nods, putting the COMM on the screen::

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: I'll talk to them again later.... I have been a pain in their side as it is.

OPS_Mades says:
::watches the screen with interest::

CTO_Peters says:
::Mutters:: CIV:  Can't they see we are all on the same side here?  What is best for Rice?

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : Captain... I think the anomaly's activating itself again...

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici Speeds up, heading for the anomaly.

TO_Sky says:
Self: Well all quiet... ::looks around wondering where the CMO is then turns to head out::

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : We're going to try again... My engineer thinks he's found a way to control the destination "time" of the anomaly

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: In my judgement the best thing for Ens. Rice is to instill the discipline that he has lost and give him something to look forward to. Right now I'm working on the first part.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Capt. Slochum, yes my Science Officer picked that up as well. What kind of a threat do you suppose that will cause us?

CSO_KTor says:
::Turns to listen with interest::

CTO_Peters says:
::Sees the Medici  move on her sensors.::  Self:  Hmmm   CO:  Sir, the Medici is moving towards the rift.

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Her daily observations complete, she makes sure everything is secure before closing up the lab.::

CTO_Peters says:
CIV:  I just want to know why?

TO_Sky says:
::walks out of sickbay figuring nothing to worry about::

CEO_Russel says:
::snaps out of his thoughts, listens to the conversation.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : Threat? That is my only chance to get back to my own time, Captain.. I will not throw away this chance.

OPS_Mades says:
::quietly::  FCO: Do you think they will be safe if they go through again?

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici approaches the Anomaly, and the Artemis looses contact.  Interference with the nebula.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::scratches head:: CTO: If this was the corp. I would say he cracked under pressure... but being StarFleet there could be any number of reasons.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO: quickly Mr. K'Tor  see how strong that anomaly is getting and what it might to us and the Medici

Host CO_Slochum says:
::his Comm gets cut::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Turning out the lights, she stretches out the kinks in her back before leaving the quiet room.::

OPS_Mades says:
::hears a beep from his console::  CO: The Medici has ended the Comm, sir.

CSO_KTor says:
::Puts full scanners on the anomaly and on the Medici, with recording:: CO: Full scanners recording sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, follow the Medici

FCO_Teasley says:
::whispers::  OPS: I don't know, after they left the first time, and then we left and were under attack

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: CIV:  Cracking is possible.  Something must have happened before I came aboard.  There is not indication on his files that there had been a problem.

FCO_Teasley says:
::lays in pursuit course and engages impulse engines::

OPS_Mades says:
::turns his attention to his job, they may be in danger soon::

TO_Sky says:
::walks along checking the labs making sure all is secure::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Red Alert Mr. Peters

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Steps onto the turbolift::  Computer:  Bridge...

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Red alert Aye Sir..  ::Hits the button and the Klaxons being sounding.::

CSO_KTor says:
CO_Slochum: Sir, I recommend that if we allow the Medici to continue, we keep close to them so we can record sensor data.

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Artemis catches up with the Medici enough for communications to be re-established.

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: I hope that the counselors can find... ::stops hearing the red alert order snaps head towards the captain::

CTO_Peters says:
::Looks over at Stephen:: CIV:  TAC 2 Stephen?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We're in COMM range

TO_Sky says:
::looks up:: Self: Oh great! *CTO*: Trouble?

CEO_Russel says:
::sends order to ME to get the repair teams ready... just in case.::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Looks up::  Why is it I get in the TL lately we go to red alert?

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The gravitational forces are getting stronger as they approach

CTO_Peters says:
*TO*:  Don't know yet Bri, start heading for the bridge please..

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks back at the CTO and nods steps over to TAC 2 and pulls up the sensors::

TO_Sky says:
*CTO*: Aye on my way. ::turns and heads for the nearest TL::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Capt. Slochum, I hope that your Chief Engineer is correct

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Ignores the computer’s request for her to repeat her statement.::

OPS_Mades says:
::prepares a scenario to divert power for shields and SIF incase the anomaly is bumpy::

CMO_Mea`e says:
Computer:  Sickbay...

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : Well, the most that can happen to us, according to my CEO is that we may miss the arrival time by no longer than 10 to 15 years..

CMO_Mea`e says:
::The turbolift comes to a stop, then reverses its direction.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM Artemis : Give or take...

TO_Sky says:
::calls for the TL and tries to wait patiently::

OPS_Mades says:
::thinks to himself, history doesn't record you returning at all, I hope you know what you are doing over there::

TO_Sky says:
::steps into the TL and heads up to the bridge::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::As the TL stops, she steps off and heads for her domain.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Ship-wide: Prepare yourselves. We're in for a rocky ride

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : A few more minutes, and the Medici will enter the anomaly

TO_Sky says:
::exits onto the bridge just as she hears the Captain's message:: Self: Great, just great.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, we're right behind the Medici

TO_Sky says:
CTO: I'm here ma'am.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Slow us down, I don't want to follow the Medici into the anomaly

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Stepping into sickbay, she notes that her staff has everything in order.::  All:  You heard the captain, take your places.

OPS_Mades says:
::thinks for a moment::  Wait!  We know when they will reappear.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::slows the ship down::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::looks at the CO not sure if he wants to know what the ride is going to be like::

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  Welcome Bri...  please take TAC 2...  Looks like we are about to enter the rift again.

OPS_Mades says:
CO:  Sir, the shuttle's logs.  They will show up near that Klingon shuttle.

CIV_Lamberson says:
::turns nodding to Bri:: TO: It is all yours.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Suggestion Mr. Mades?

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Makes her way to her office and takes a seat, Sarah joining her.::

CTO_Peters says:
::Makes sure all weapons are powered up in case they have to come out shooting again.::

TO_Sky says:
CTO: So I heard. ::heads over to TAC 2 and nods at Stephen:: CIV: Thanks. ::takes her station and logs in::

CSO_KTor says:
::Hearing the OPS:: CO: Sir, we must make sure they don't fire on the shuttle!

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : Comms go down again.. Too much interference from the Anomaly. The  Medici is still heading full speed into the anomaly

CIV_Lamberson says:
::takes a step to the back of the bridge watching the crew work:: Self: Why couldn't this be something simple like hand to hand? 

OPS_Mades says:
CO: We don't know if that is the trigger, but it is the only thing we know.  The CSO may be right.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CSO/OPS: Then we have no other choice but to follow them or cripple them

TO_Sky says:
::cuts her eyes around looking at the bridge then back to her station:: CTO: I am beginning to think we are going to be as lost as they are ma'am.

OPS_Mades says:
::sees they lost the Medici - tries to remodulate the carrier frequency to get through the interference::

CMO_Mea`e says:
::The two doctors look at each other, communicating silently::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : Slochum appears on the screen, but with heavy interference

CTO_Peters says:
TO:  We could be Bri, we could be..  ::Shudders at the thought of firing on another SF vessel when the Capt. mentions "crippling."::

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I got them back!

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : You.... wish us.... Luck?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Capt. Slochum, no, I want you to stop

TO_Sky says:
::goes back to work keeping up with things and trying to keep other thoughts out::

OPS_Mades says:
::trying to keep ahead of the interference::

CTO_Peters says:
TO/CIV:  I wonder is there any chance that that being who took us is still playing with us.. He is the reason we are in this mess in the first place?

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : Sa... again...

TO_Sky says:
::snaps her head around only hearing the last part:: CTO: Sorry ma'am what did you say?

CIV_Lamberson says:
CTO: I wish I could say for sure he was.... but with all the unknowns in the universe. ::shrugs shoulders::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici is seconds away from entering the anomaly

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Capt. Slochum, I want you to stop. By our calculations, you'll end up near that Klingon shuttle and fire upon and destroying it

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, there only seconds away from entering the anomaly

OPS_Mades says:
COM: Medici:  Don't fire!  Don't fire at the shuttle!

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Interference clears up a bit

Host CO_Slochum says:
COMM : Artemis : What? You want us to stop? This is our only chance to get home..

CTO_Peters says:
::Sighs:: TO:  Just figuring out another reason we are in this mess Bri.

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The ship is rocking from the gravitational forces. Minor injuries start pouring into sickbay

FCO_Teasley says:
::plots out a course::  CO: Sir, we're ready to pursue the Medici if we need to

TO_Sky says:
CTO: Oh...sorry. ::looks at both Zoe and Stephen then turns back to her station muttering:: So much interference...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Medici: Capt. Slochum, do what you must, but when you get back to your time you'll encounter a Klingon shuttle, but whatever you do, don't fire on it

Host CO_Slochum says:
::frowns, and thinks for a second...::

CEO_Russel says:
::braces himself.::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : The Medici touches the anomaly. Then, it and the Medici are gone.

OPS_Mades says:
::speaks under his breath::  Godspeed Medici

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : Gravitational readings return to normal

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Being informed of patients coming in, she and Sarah make their way carefully back into the main area.::

CSO_KTor says:
::Waits for the gravitational forces to normalize, then starts playing back sensor telemetry on his station::

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  Stand down from red alert Sir?

CEO_Russel says:
::sits back in his seat.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Stand down CSO: I want a full report on what just happened OPS: Any signs of the Medici?

CSO_KTor says:
CO_Slochum: Aye sir. I'm working on it.

CTO_Peters says:
::Stands down from red alert then looks over to both Stephen and Bri.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::prepares a course to take the Artemis out the nebula::

OPS_Mades says:
::looks down over the readings on his console:: CO: No, sir.  I don't see anything.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Ship-wide: I want status reports ASAP

TO_Sky says:
::keeps working to try and clear up some of the sensors to get better readings::

OPS_Mades says:
::notices something strange though, there is a data file on his console that he hasn't seen before::

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : Shuttle bay two reports that the shuttle that is there is glowing

CIV_Lamberson says:
::turns to leave the bridge mutters as the knee twist:: Self: One of these days. ::nods to Zoe:: CTO: I'll have a report on Ens Rice soon. ::grimaces walking to the TL::

CTO_Peters says:
::Nods:: CIV:  I'll look for it...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Are we still in the nebula Mr. Teasley?

CMO_Mea`e says:
*OPS*:  We have minor injuries in sickbay, nothing much so far.  And hopefully it will stay that way.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We are sir

CTO_Peters says:
CO:  I'm getting a report from the Shuttle bay sir..  The shuttle......is glowing.

OPS_Mades says:
::accessing the file, he finds a complete copy of his Uncle's personal logs, sent to his station just before the Medici disappeared::

TO_Sky says:
::watches as Stephen walks off and shakes her head:: Figures ::said a little loud::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Glowing? Do they know why?

CTO_Peters says:
::looks at Bri and raises her eyebrows.:;

OPS_Mades says:
::he smiles, then returns to his work::  CO: Sickbay is reporting minor casualties, sir.

Host CO_Slochum says:
ACTION : Another report. The shuttle just disappeared in a brilliant glow of light

CTO_Peters says:
CO: no..... Sir the shuttle disappeared.

CSO_KTor says:
::Hearing the glowing stuff:: Bridge: Previous instances of temporal loops and other phenomena reported that objects sometimes glowed just before vanishing.

CTO_Peters says:
CSO:  And it just vanished.

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  Minor damage to the inertial dampeners.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CTO: Disappeared? Tell them I'm on my way

CSO_KTor says:
Bridge: It likely means that the universe has been "corrected".

FCO_Teasley says:
::thinks::  CO: Sir, I may have a theory why it disappeared

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Finishes treating the fractured wrist and sends the engineer back to his station.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Get your crews started working

CTO_Peters says:
*Shuttle bay*:  The Capt. is on his way.

CEO_Russel says:
::nods at the CO.::

CEO_Russel says:
::sends orders and the repair crews get to work.::

CTO_Peters says:
CSO: Corrected, or did we change it?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Put it into a report and you have the CON. OPS: Mr. Mades, your with me

CSO_KTor says:
CTO_Peters: Perhaps corrected, but... perhaps made worse.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

OPS_Mades says:
::gets up, securing his console, and follows the CO::

CTO_Peters says:
CSO:  I hope you are wrong there... If the Medici made it back.... wouldn't our history change?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: We're going to the shuttle bay ::enters the turbolift::

CIV_Lamberson says:
::enters TL:: Computer: Deck 4

CMO_Mea`e says:
::Deals with a minor concussion, informing the child where they were NOT supposed to be.::

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Yes, sir.  What do you expect to find?

FCO_Teasley says:
::motions for the beta FCO::

CSO_KTor says:
CTO_Peters: Unknown... there could be a delay before our databanks change, or they may be updated already.

CSO_KTor says:
::Checks the database on the Medici::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Don't know, but we're going to find out

FCO_Teasley says:
<beta FCO>::takes the helm::
