Host Tim says:
During the last four days Dublin and the Vulcan ships orbited HTQ13, took on supplies and made the needed repairs.  Two (2) mobile, high output generators were installed on Multak's vessel.

Host Tim says:
After much consultation Delgado's team and the Vulcans discovered the protocol for the dialing machine.

Multak finally convinced Captain Kizlev that the dialing device should be installed on the Vulcan's ship so that if... err when the Dublin returned to its proper "real" time history will not have been changed.

Host Tim says:
All vessels have moved to the coordinates provided by the Kantrell Vedak where the Cormanii had preformed their time incursion nine years ago.

Host Multak says:
@COM: Dublin: Captain, your CEO agrees with my engineers that we're ready to try this.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge, having ignored a bath for two days, stressing over the success of the mission, hoping his unique Andorian musk will help relax Rhianna's own tension::

Host Multak says:
@COM: Kizlev: We're at the coordinates that you were given by Kantrell as to where the Cormanii initiated their incursion.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
::looks over at the CO and is relieved that they're finally going home:: CO: Aye, Sir. I'm ready here. I just wished we could take some weapon upgrades. ::Smiles:: 

aSO_Ens_Beaker says:
CO: Ready sir..err. Captain.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::immediately looks at Multak for his reaction to their Captain's statement because if that is true, then Multak already knows we will be successful::

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  I am very ready.

aSO_Ens_Beaker says:
CO: All set Captain. Inputting them now.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat in the XO's chair and gets set in case the trip back in time is rocky::  CO:  Engineering has said they are confident.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: 5 Cormanii one Kantrell vessel, sir. What are your orders

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  Shall I put out a distress and call to arms to all vessels in the area?

Host Multak says:
@COM: Kizlev: We have emerged on the wrong day... not the fours days previous as planned but on the day that Earth was destroyed!  We have to attack now!

aSO_Ens_Beaker says:
CO: Additional information, the time travel has us coming out of the distortion a little later than we planned. We're on the day of the incursion. :: looks to the CO ::

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO: The Vulcan ships will still be here if their future counterparts are destroyed	.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: TWO LED VULCAN SHIPS ARE HIT BY TORPEDOES; ONE CORMANII IS HIT BY VULCAN PHASER FIRE AND DAMAGED

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Yes...a paradox worth thinking about later.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CNS: Can you get through to those Kantrell, or are they set to betray us all?

aSO_Ens_Beaker says:
CO: Just got a response from Starfleet. It's going to be at least three hours  until we get some help.

CNS_Lt_Jakiel says:
CO:  I just sent an urgent message to them trying to convince them that the Cormanii will double cross them and use them in the future.

Host CO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
SO: Those ground control fools. Have them deploy planetary defenses. Who the hell has watch at HQ? Unbelievable.

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
CO: Sir, I'm not an engineering, but the power levels seem to be draining due to the tractor beam.

aSO_Ens_Beaker says:

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE TRACTORED CORMANII VESSEL IS BREAKING APART FROM THE STRESS

CTO_Ens_O_Neill says:
