Summary:  
The Delphyne has continued on course towards Barradas to rendezvous with the Romulan Commander Modex who had defected years ago and is still of use to Starfleet. Reaching the rendezvous point the Delphyne and the USS Sanctuary take up orbit around the planet.  The coordinates for transport have been given. Modex and the new CO for the Delphyne are beamed directly to the conference room of the Delphyne.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Watches as Modex and the new Captain materialize in the conference room::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Looks over to the newcomers::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sits in her chair around the conference table with a bit of a  smirk on her face::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::materializes in the conference room and looks around:: Self: Wow. New carpeting.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::senses the arrival of new people to the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Goes to the new CO:: CO: Welcome aboard, Sir. Commander Bauer, your Executive Officer. ::Extends hand::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says: 
::Sits straighter in her chair::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::eyes wash briefly over the Captain...as her medical eyes note the visible condition, comparative to the new Captain's file::

Modex says: 
:: stands behind the CO with the look of an observer ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Shakes his hand:: XO: Hello, Commander.  And you don't need to address me as 'Sir'.  I prefer Ma'am' or Captain.  You did a wonderful job under trying circumstances.  I wish we didn't have to meet under these conditions.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Walks up to the new Captain with a cup of coffee:: CO: Ma'am a fellow named Jeeves said that you would like one of these when you beamed aboard. :: hands her the cup of coffee::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::sits there giving the new comers the once over::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Self: So this is our new Captain  ::gives both people a good look over::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::allows her eyes to float over Commander Modex and thinks that the last few years have treated him well::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am. Modex: Commander, welcome. ::Extends hand to the Romulan::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::chuckles and takes the cup:: OPS: I can see that we are going to get along just nicely.  Thank you.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::pulls up the mental walls and keeps them up::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: No need for the new comers to know anything.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
CO: I can't take all the credit. This fellow named Jeeves contacted me and gave me the information.

Information: 
Modex is a tall Romulan.   Handsome facial features with a bit of gray on the temples of his hair.

Modex says:
:: Takes the XO's hand :: XO: A pleasure to meet you Commander, I see you have taken great care of this fine ship.  :: Smiles disarmingly ::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: Thank you. ::Steps out of the way::

Modex says:
:: Moves and takes a seat towards the front of the conference table ::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Moves to a seat at the table::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Takes a sip of coffee:: XO: Would you please introduce the rest of the crew?  And then we can get started.  There's a lot to catch up and little time to do so.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::awaits the others knowing that later would provide an opportunity to greet her friends::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::watches the new captain and the Romulan carefully::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Finds a seat, happy to see no refreshments on the table::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::watches Modex as he moves, doesn't relax. Won't relax until she sees that the drinks won't eat through the table::

Modex says:
:: Notices a familiar face :: CSO: Ah commander your beauty is timeless.  How is your husband these days...the good doctor?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Of course.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::limps over to the head of the table but stands there instead of taking a seat::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Modex:  He, as well as the children, are well.  I will be sure to tell them that you inquired.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles to him::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Makes a motion to each as he introduces them:: CO: Lt. Llynisika, Commander Tarrez-Hunter our CEO, Doctor Lincaad, Ensign Twelk, Operations and the rest....

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Stands and his name is said and then returns to his seat::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::notes the Captain limping, files it away with everything else that a good security officer keeps at the ready::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::Greets the CO with a nod and a rather large grin::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::nods a greeting as Bauer says her name::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Oh and Chief Rochelle.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::stands and nods in respect to the captain and cross chest salutes her::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: It is an honor to serve.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: Jolan Tru.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::sits back down::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Nods to each of them, giving the CSO a quick wink 'hello':: All: First of all, I want to say that I am sorry that I am coming here under these conditions.  I knew Captain Mash'ev when he first came on board and he is a fine officer.  Let me assure you that Starfleet is doing everything they can to find him and return him safely.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::chuckles silently to herself and looks down with a bit of amusement on her face::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly at the wink but says nothing, and listens::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Is glad to hear that about Captain Mash'ev::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::at the mention of their former CO, Sykora becomes somber::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Is glad to hear that Captain Mash'ev won't be forgotten by Starfleet::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::is angry about the loss of the Captain and should have been with the CSO and the crystal::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Feels guilty::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: sits quietly and listens to the Captain::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: I'll make certain that I get a chance to meet with each of you individually over the course of the next few days.  But for now, Starfleet has tasked us with continuing the investigation into the crystal.  Which is why this gentleman is here.  May I present Commander Modex, formally of the Romulan Empire.  He will be answering questions later.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::An eyebrow rises:: Self: Hope we can get some answers now.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at each of them for a moment as if seeing who they are behind the uniforms and then smiles, nodding to herself as she sits down:: XO: Commander.  Please brief me on what has been happening so far.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Listens intently::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Oh, ummm okay....let's see...

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::listens::

Dog says:
::trots out and goes to each person in the table sniffing them intently::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Well we are currently investigating a murder, the killer still at large on the ship, we
 were attacked by unknown beings and they took the Captain and my advice is don't eat the danish....Ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::leans forward, crosses arms on table and listens.  Sees a dog out of the corner of her eye::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
:: Jumps as the dog approaches her and eyes it suspiciously, suddenly just slightly coiled in her seat::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::looks at the Dog and admires it as it approaches::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Sees the furry little animal wandering around and wonders what it would taste like with a little barbecue sauce::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO/Modex: The crystal is in the lab. Our Science Officer can tell you more ::Passes the torch off to CSO::

Modex says:
:: listens the smile never leaving his face, this is the face of a great card player...if they played cards on Romulus::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::takes a sip of coffee and twirls her seat over to face the CSO::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer>
::Thinks- Nice dog, we could get Goliath up here and they could share a bone::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
 	::watches for any signs of chemical degradation::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CSO: You're on.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Glances at Modex as the others speak::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::swivels in her chair to address the group at large::  CO/Modex:  We have done a large amount of trial and error when it comes to the crystals, but frankly we are not much closer to figuring anything out about it.  ::looks to Modex specifically::  I am actually looking forward to hearing anything you may have to offer about it.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Wait till WildFire finds out we got another dog on the ship.  He will flip.

Modex says:
:: nods at the CTO as he catches her glance ::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::finally relaxes as she can no longer see the dog....but keeps her senses up for it regardless....wonders if she should interject about her work with the crystal, but waits...it really isn't quite finished yet::

Dog says:
::sneezes and gives the CMO her best cute look::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::nods back, keeps glancing at the others.  Modex just a little bit more than the rest::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::twitches slightly as the dog sneezes, and gingerly sits as far up in her chair as she can to pull her legs up unnoticeably::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: I'm sure Modex will be happy to share whatever he knows with you. ::Gives Modex a look and then turns to the CMO::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::reaches down to pat her leg to get Dog's attention::

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO/Modex: Doctor Lincaad has been doing some interesting work with the crystal too.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: I understand that you were conducting tests on the crystal.  Do you have any conclusions?

Action :
Dog runs over and jumps up in the CSO's lap and starts licking her face.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
~~~WildFire: We have a new pet on the ship.  The captain's pet dog.  Cute little thing.~~~ 

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::eyes the dog once more as she leans forward and then finally looks at the  CO::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
CO/All: I suppose so...though it would be easier to explain if there were specific questions. ::pauses to collect her thoughts::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::chuckles a bit and tries to stuff the dog back down below the table.. Or at least out of most eyes’ sight::

Dog says:
::Sighs and jumps off the CSO's lap and heads over to the CTO.  Looks up at her and wags her tail::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
CO/All: Essentially it seems that whenever energy is applied to the crystal, the DNA samples I started with mutate. Now, without going into too much detail, I cannot explain why this is happening, because it denies basic Genetics.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: What DNA samples do you have?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::sits listening to what the CMO is saying::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Glances down at the dog, does a quick glance around the table to make sure no one is looking and then gives the dog a quick pat and rub behind an ear, then returns to being all business::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
::listens hoping that they will be able to figure something out::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::Watches the dog closely:: CO: I have samples from crewmembers, the computer...and our Romulan rescues.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::ponders the CMO's words and tries to make connections with what she knows::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Better get a check on my DNA sample now with regards to before I came in contact with it.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
CO: And the DNA from a blood sample on the crystal. ::finally looks from the dog and straight at the CO:: I should say that it consisted of both Romulan and Klingon DNA. I was not yet given a chance to study crewmembers exposed to the crystal if it changed their DNA or not....the computer preliminaries say no. ::shrugs::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees that Dog is distracting the CMO and snaps her fingers.  Watches as Dog trots back over and curls up under her seat:: All: Please ignore the beast.  It followed me onto the ship one day and I haven't been able to get rid of it since.  It's harmless.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::visibly relaxes as the dog goes back to the Captain and out of her view:: CO: But as I said, so far this is denying even the most basic laws of Genetics.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: If I may be permitted to call your dog maybe she would stay in my company till after the briefing.  With your permission of course.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: It's a very strange item, that crystal. It has caused quite a bit of trouble including two murders and a kidnapping. Just what is it we've been carrying?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
CO: I am currently studying the effects these mutations would have on any hybrids. And I will say the results are...not conclusive of anything...::stops as the XO speaks::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Turns slightly, facing Modex full on and looking intently at him, waiting for his answer::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: I'd like to talk with you more about this, one on one.  Maybe we can figure something out together.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says: 
Modex: We thought you could clear up some of the mystery.

Modex says:
XO: As the name implies, a new beginning; at least for the Romulans.  That crystal records an event that changes the development of two races and will eventually change the state of power in the universe.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::tilts her head regally, then sits back in her chair, but doesn't untuck her legs yet::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Both eyebrows rise up:: Self: Really?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::mutters something about the stability of such a hybrid, but so softly only a Vulcan would hear it...most likely::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks down at her hands when she thinks back to how she almost had destroyed the crystal::

Modex says:
CMO: Doctor have you compared the samples to other ships and then to your own?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::leans back in her chair and sips her coffee again, watching the crew and their reactions over the brim::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::cocks her head in the direction of the doctor::

Modex says:
OPS: Ensign could you please display the image from your console on the display screen for us to view?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
Modex: Yes.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::her eyes never leaving the new Captain::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::blinks and looks straight at the Romulan::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
Modex: Roger Sir :: bring up the image on the screen::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: This new Captain has good shields and is good at hiding emotions.  Most admirable.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Thinking we may get answers now::

Modex says:
CMO: They do not match do they?  I don’t even need to see the results for I know already.  :: Points to the image on the screen :: What do you notice about this fellow?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::waits patiently for the bombshell to come::

Modex says:
All: What do you notice about this being?  Any of you may answer.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
:: Looks at the screen, then back at Modex, her face unreadable:: Modex: What 'fellow' do you refer to?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Antennae are almost straight up on her head as she studies the screen::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: The person is a hybrid mix of Romulan and Klingon.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
Modex:: Are you talking about the ridge on his forehead Sir?

Information: 
The image is of a Romulan, except the skin color is darker like a Klingon and there are prominent head ridges.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: Unless you go back a few hundred years and go from Vulcan to Romulan

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
All: Like the guy on the Warbird.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Modex: So are you trying to tell us that the Klingons and Romulans are going to become one and rule the universe?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Softly:: All: Yes, the Warbird Commander.

Modex says:
CEO: No ensign. Not a hybrid, not as you would think the union of a mother of one race and a father of another.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: Then a genetic mutation that is evolving.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::blushes slightly, thinking about her parents::

Modex says:
CSO: Become one yes, rule a universe that would seem to depend on this ship.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::arches an eyebrow::

Modex says:
CEO: Not mutation. A change in evolution.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: The Crystal.  It is the only thing that could do this.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: As I said, evolving.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Really not liking what he is hearing::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns to Modex:: Modex: Explain what you mean by "depends on this ship"

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Here it comes.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: So, some Klingons and some Romulans got busy and produced a new breed. What's that got to do with the crystal?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Nods as the new Captain asked what she was thinking::

Modex says:
All: That crystal recorded an event in the past.  That event, once changed, will alter the course of our futures.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::closes her eyes and brings back the flashes of what she saw::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Modex: If it happened in the past, then how, or what, does that have to do with the ship?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: Change? How is the past going to be changed?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::hears 'once', 'alter', and 'future' in the same sentence and almost groans...::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: Modex may be making reference to the crystal and possibly what I saw and the changes in the DNA.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Not sure she'll like what the answer might be and praying it won't be::

Modex says:
CO: My dear Captain as you know the current generations of Starships enhance their computer cores with biological gel packs.  These packs are allowing the data to evolve as well leaving no trace of the past.  The Delphyne’s older systems suffer no such effect.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh joy, isolinear chips.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CEO: Could be, Bri.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: So either the crystal causes this change or protects from it?

Modex says:
XO: The past will be changed, but the crystal holds the data within.  Only the crystal has that information.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: So what do we do with the crystal now that we have it?

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
Modex: And how do we get that information from it with out blowing up the ship?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: In order for us to get the information from this crystal, is there a way to join with it and retrieve the information?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::is going to hate herself in the morning::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::Wants to reply to the XO...destroy it...but, decides against it::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Modex: So the event the crystal recorded has the power to influence gel packs and biological data no matter where it is or when it is?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks down at her hands again as they begin to wring each other::

Modex says:
CEO: There was no explosion when you powered the crystal.  Only a disappearance.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::Thinks that is just bogus, she'll have to do more research and playing with it to even remotely believe such a thing::

Modex says:
CO: The crystal is preventing the Delphyne from being influenced.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Leans towards Modex, intently listening::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Modex: Influenced?

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
Modex: So, it is protecting the ship. But, from what?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::Frowns and looks at Modex:: Modex: Now wait, the records on this ship and the new updates from Starfleet Medical do not match, no, but it would lead me more to the opposite conclusion...this ship IS being influenced and the rest of the known galaxy is not.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: My apologies but I was the one that disappeared with the crystal and saw horrible visions.  The Delphyne is using isolinear chips and not the bio-neural gel packs. And that is the reason why the crystal can not influence the ship.

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
Modex: Sir I beg to differ when they applied power to the crystal on the station it took out the power grid to the whole Hologrid.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Out loud: So the rest of the universe is changing, evolving and the Del isn't.

Modex says:
CTO: Yes for better or worse your ship is a sanctuary in this event.

Modex says:
CO: Very good captain.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh great and I am seeing this from the crystal.  Nice Bri.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: The only reason Sir, is that we still use the isolinear chips.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Modex: Sanctuary from, what exactly?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: Sanctuary from what is going on around us.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Modex: Who is to say that this… ::waves her hand in the air a bit::  evolution, isn’t exactly the way things are suppose to be?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: The evolution that is going on.

Modex says:
OPS: Because you tried to activate it in a created environment.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
::Gets up and approaches the CO while looking at the crew, getting into it all:: CO: They are an enthusiastic bunch. They are a good crew Ma'am. You are lucky.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: And since I was the one who touched it I saw the flashes of the past.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Looks at Bri with a slightly confused look, shakes her head a bit and then turns her attention back to Modex::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::sighs::

Modex says:
CSO: Were you planning to have children with head ridges, fangs, and a taste for raw meat my dear Commander?  If this is not stopped that is what your family and every other being of descent will evolve into.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Nods:: XO: I can tell.  I read your service records and I'm lucky to have all of them, including you, Commander.  A Captain is only as good as her crew. ::smiles::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::raises an eyebrow and snorts lightly at that comment, her arms crossed::

Modex says:
CEO: No, since you were in the area that it folded, you saw the images.

XO_Cmdr_Bauer says:
CO: Thank you, Ma'am. ::Gives her his best boyish grin::

OPS_Ens_Twelk says:
:: Thinks to himself, “And having a taste for raw meat is something bad?”::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Modex: Then what I saw was from the past.

Modex says:
CMO: Doctor this is not a matter of genetics or mutation, it is manipulation of a
time line.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Modex: Every being?  ::looks at him::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Bingo there is the bombshell.  Time line.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Gives the XO a chuckle and then leans forward:: Modex: You're saying that someone has altered the past.  That what is recorded on that crystal is different than what is recorded in history.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::Sighs:: Self: I should've known. ::Rolls her eyes at the whole situation::

Modex says:
CTO: Conquerors of a universe will show no restraint.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::eyes widen in sudden enlightenment::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: Can't mess with the timeline.

Modex says:
CO: Yes captain.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Self: So much for prayers.  Modex: Are you saying that we'll need to fix the timeline?  ::Hopes not::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: You hit the nail on the head.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::Sighs and leans back:: All: Then we had better find out what is on that crystal and fix the timeline. ::Growls:: I hate temporal situations.   They make my teeth ache.

Action: 
The alarms go off, as another vessel approaches and begins an attack run on the USS Sanctuary.  A voice comes over the COM from the bridge, "There is a Klingon looking ship attacking the Sanctuary".
