Host Kalath says:
ACTION: the CTO, CNS and Kalath are still in the recording area. She just finishes convincing the CNS to make an appearence on the Wrirathian global broadcasting
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::walks back over to Captain Timrok:: Timrok: well ready to begin, how do you want us to help you?
Host Kalath says:
@ACTION: Meanwhile, on the Lochness, preparations continue ...
Host Kalath says:
::watches the counselor leave and turns to the CTO:: CTO: I must be blunt with you
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks up at Kalath:: Kalath: About what exactly?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ CO/CIV: We will have to act quickly when we arrive at the Wirathian homeworld, it doesn`t give us much time to come up with a plan i know but thats the situation and were stuck with it
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: ::nods:: understood
Host Kalath says:
CTO: We have evidence someone hacked inbto the saviour. It is possible more people from your timeline were saved and exist here with us
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ CO/CIV: i can get you to the Savior but i wont be able to assist much after that
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Its those disgusting Timers. If I could I would wipe them from existance
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::listens intently absorbing as much as he can given the circumstances:: Kalath: Timers? I take it they are some sort of faction.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ ::looking a little sad :: im afraid my ands may be rather full when the Wirathians find out what we are doing
Host Kalath says:
CTO: They are terrorists. They are against the saviour. Most of them are humans, they can't understand they inferiority
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: just get us there, we will do our best
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: Can i ask what you think makes Humans inferior, I must beg your pardon but where I came from they were quite ingenious
Host Kalath says:
CTO: When we made first contact with them, just 300 years ago, they were barely out of a world war and had just discovered warp drive. They have potential of course but much to evolve. And they simply can't understand their place in this universe
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ CO/CIV: Commander Pazoski take a small team down with you, i expect you will meet some resistance
Host Kalath says:
CTO: I have a bad feeling about this. But what can they do?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@*XO* any word back from the other ships commander?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: So you must have met them just before or after first contact with the Vulcans. and what is their place in this universe?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: If there is one think i have learnt during my lifetime it is never underestimate humans, they have a will to survive
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: provide some phasers and sensors devices "tricorders" if you call them that in this universe we will go down with your first officers team
Host Kalath says:
CTO: The Vulcans? we made first contact with them. One hundred years later they joined the coligation
Host Kalath says:
CTO: They are a full member of the UCP that is all
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: ::turns back to her:: you are being awful quiet? you alright?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ CO/CIV:Commander Pazoski will provide you with everything you need when you depart.. if you will excuse me for now i have some business to take care of
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: ::nods:: very good, good luck Captain!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @*CO*:  I have managed to get hold of as many of the captains as I can, unfortunatly the Wirathians are hampering their movements and only 3 can get to our destination in time without causing suspicion.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Glances away from the only window in the room and returns her attention back to the Captain:: CO: Hmm? Fine. Just.. thinking.. ::Sighs and shakes her head:: Did you come up with a plan to get us away from this people?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I presume you have a strong defence system guarding the Saviour.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@:: nods then leaves the room ::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Certainly we do! We have an unimpenetrable shield. and guards at every entrance to this building
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: if we succeed, hopefully we will be away from these people and back in our own universe having no recolection of these events and this ship and crew
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ ::arrives shortly after on the bridge::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: But we have to help them first, right?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: and yet ... tell me if they were to get help from people from your time line, possibly from your group. what would they do? would they help the Timers?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: If the Timers are going to try something they must have a way to bypass your defences.  Where is the shield controlled from?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ XO: Three ships, that wont hold out for very long!
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: yes? do you have any other options, cause I think we are out of them!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: I dont know what they would do, perhaps one or two of them might but I dont know.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Smiles wickedly:: CO: We can steal a ship and try our luck with the other side? ::Suggests hopefully::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: ::gives her concerned look:: I am a Starfleet officer why are you suggested such malace actions?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @ CO: I know sir, but it should be long enough for us to beam down and do whatever we are going to. Afterall in a few hours they are going to find out who hacked into the Saviour and we will have the entire Wirathian fleet bearing down on us.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: Because I'm not? Fine, never mind. We'll do it your way.. ::Turns around, she lowers her voice:: For now.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ XO: Commander i want you to keep an open comm link when you are down on the surface, if we lose contact with you we must assume youre mission has failed, you will also need to alter the shield modulation frequency so they cant beem you back out again or transport re-inforcements
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: ::just shakes his head:: I will never understand you?
Host Kalath says:
::twists her nose in an unbelievable fashion then speaks again:: CTO: What would you do?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Grins:: CO: More fun like that, don't you think so? ::Turns to face the Captain, she walks towards him and pauses:: When are we moving then? I'm getting restless..
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::thinks why did the Admiral replace Maor with her is beyond me::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @CO: We will get the job done sir, and if we dont, you will just have to destroy the device from orbit.
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ XO: And Peter. one more thing, i dont know how far you can trust Wall & Ivanova, if they try to get in your way - kill them
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: ::just gives her a serious look from her response:: well lets go find the XO Peter Pazoski, im sure time is a wasting...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::thinks for a moment:: Kalath: I would follow our prime directive, which is not to interfere with other cultures.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @CO: Understood sir.
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Nod, she makes her way our of the room::
Host Kalath says:
::smiles:: CTO: We have that directive as well. I trust yours is as dearly held as hours. In any event I am returning to the Savoir. Do you want to wait here for Karida or you can join me if you like
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::leaves the room in to the strange corridor looking around not sure were to go as he walks with the CIV in tow::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: From what you have told me I think the safest place to be is with you at the moment ::puts on a smile:: and your know what counsellors are like, she could be talking for hours
Host Kalath says:
CTO: I hope she does. Our people have long been in need of ... Gods. Lately we have begun to think of ourselves as Gods, ever since we destroied the Borg. But that is not good to one's evolution, to think you are perfect ::makes her way to the lift::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: the layout appears to be similiar, but weather the rooms our in the same locations well lets go as if we were heading to the Elara's bridge and see were it takes us?
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: Sounds simple enough, though I still think something is wronh here..
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::follows after Kalath:: Kalath: You destroyed the Borg? Interesting, that is something we never did manage, those we did repulse several invasion attempts
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: you do, please speak your mind? what do think is wrong?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: See? It is good that you saved us. Our Universe is by far a better place than yours was
Host Kalath says:
::exits onto a corridor and heads for the end door::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: It does seem to be safer at least, although we did manage to ally with the Klingons, something which I believe you havent yet done. ::trots along after Kalath::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::enters in to a TL he would if he was on the Elara:: TL: bridge!
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The round TL slowly makes its way down
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: They're way too revengeful for a race that seems to act like your Federation.. Plus I can't seem to shake the feeling that they're hiding something..
Host Kalath says:
CTO: No, how on Wirathia did you do that??
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@XO: you had better gt your team ready,
Host Kalath says:
CTO: They just don't think, they are animals ::bows to a couple of guards and again she finds herlsef in the savior room. no one else is there except her and Mesme::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: well keep in mind we are not here to judge or to change this universe, we need to get back to ours. The Federation in this universe may not be like ours, its not our place to question it our Prime Directive applies here too
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: It took a while and they can be violent but after a while you do get to "like" them, in fact it was with their help we managed to repulse the Dominion invasion ::looks around the now empty saviour room::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Raises an eyebrow in amusement:: CO: Ours? ::Chuckles::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CIV: you notice the TL is going down...strange?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @CO: They are all in the Transporter room waiting sir, I thought it best to get them equipted ahead of time, they are just waiting for me and the two "guests".
Host Kalath says:
CTO: The Dominion? Ah yes, those shapshifters, they are our allies, we destroied the Cardassians with them
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@CO: Seems the layout of the ship is not the same as you thought it was.. ::Studies the lift backup control panel::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: we have left them about their business now and they don't medle with us either
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@: it appears so, I requested the lift to take us to the bridge
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The TL opens onto the bridge, much like a galaxy class bridge
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
<CIV:>
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: Execpt the floor is transparent and the ceiling totaly opaque
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::smiles:: efficient as ever, i want you to know its been a pleasure working with you, you will be missed
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::steps on to the bridge a little awed, looking around::
CIV_LtJG_Ivanova says:
@::Steps on to the bridge, she studies it curiously:: Self: Neat..
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: You allied with them? ::takes a few moments to digest this:: they launched an major attack on us... I wonder... So! This is the saviour control room is it?
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::turns toward the new arrivals::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Yes, we kept it centralized. We don't want anyone messing with it considering its power. In a few days we begin to disassemble it
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: we are ready, where is Commander Pazoski
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::Motions his hand toward Pazoski:: ALL: good then we can begin
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::gives Wall a look:: Wall: Waiting for you. If your ready that is?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Though we could do so much with it, like destroying the Timers, we have found it best to diasassemble it. Time is not something you should play with. We are now discussing the introduction of a temporal prime directive
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: might I say you have a fine ship here Captain ::as he looks around impressed with the design
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ CO: thank you, it`ll be a shame to lose her, im sorry we dont have more time to give you a tour
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: We had one of those in our time as well, which is why we could never construct a device like this, just in case. I take it the defence systems are also run through this room.
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: Through 3 of the nine openings nin the Dyson Sphere 3 ships arive. Two look like Akira class and another is a nebula. All have bridges beneath the saucer
Host Kalath says:
<nin=nine>
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Timrok: perhaps in a another universe and time ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Pazoski: Commander yes we are ready
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Not inside. we kept it pretty much as it was. but don't worry. even if, for example, you wanted to activate it I wouldn't let you. It would take a task force to get past me and only I have full access to the room
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @Wall: Then we should go and get prepared. ::turns to his captain and gives him a nod:: CO: Will see you when its over sir. ::moves towards the TL::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::follows Commander Pazoski::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::says nothing to the XO`s comment::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: I often came here to think. This is the the best our civilization has to offer.After it is disassembled it will be all downhill ::in mid sentence her writ chirps again::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: and the chances of that happening are slim ::smiles and leans against a console::
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: The console is in Wirathian. it has no apparent buttons but several wirathian characters
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: The best your civilisation has to offer? We always believed that the best we could offer was in striving for a better life for everyone in our federation
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::enters the TL and looks back onto the bridge, waits for the CIV and CO to join him before ordering the TL to the Transporter room::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: But that is what we do, but that could only be acomplished by this. and this is the most powerfull device ever created. Give me a minute
Host Kalath says:
::she goes to a corner and talks to her wrist::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::enters in to the TL::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@::turns to the FCO:: FCO: whats our ETA on Wirathia?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::decides while Kalath is busy to take a look around the room and begins idelly walking from console to console::
Host Kalath says:
::30 seconds later she goes back to near the CTO obviously upset:: CTO: it is worse than I thought, the Astral Fleet is in this, they are tracking down which ships have gone rogue ::shakes her head::
Host Kalath says:
@<FCO Lost>CO: One minute to transporter range sir
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gives her a quizicle look:: Kalath: Astral Fleet?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Our armed forces
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Pazoski
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::exits the TL and makes straight for the TR, apon entering is thrown the customary rifle by one of the crewmembers waiting there::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: That doesn't sound good, they will be familiar with your defences and procedures
Host Kalath says:
::thinks, and speaks aloud to the CTO but it might as well be to herself:: CTO: But how could they enter here? certainly not through the guards
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CTO: status of the Wirathian defence forces?!
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Pazoski: ::continues to walk with him:: Commander what exactly will we be doing down there and how sure are you that we will be sent back and our universes will be restored?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: It is sure to be inventive.
Host Kalath says:
@<CTO Farak>CO: They are still in standard positions, they obviously don't expect an attack ::his antennae briefly move front as he finishes speaking::
Host Kalath says:
CTO: Great God Below!! ::taps her wrist frantically::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::hands a rifle to wall:: Wall: We are going to create a merry hell and attempt to buy enough time to undo what the Saviour has done to this timeline, in theory this timetime will cease to exist.
Host Kalath says:
<Gods>
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::turns and gives Kalath a look:: Kalath: What is it?
Host Kalath says:
*Security room*Grlon, change the shield frequency now!
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@Pazoski: ::takes rifle, looks at the CIV:: and what is this Savior...a room, a computer system...etc?
Host Kalath says:
CTO: You were quite right, they could have access to our defense system, though its highly classified. It will take 5min to change the frequency
Host Kalath says:
CTO: After that it will be virtually impossible to find it out as it is absolutely random
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@Farak: good, signal the other ships to take up a defensive formation around us - Elara on point
Host Kalath says:
@<FCO Lost>::nods:: CO: I'll Advise Captain Harrison
Host Kalath says:
::pets a small device in her waist. a weapon?::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @Wall: A device that can manipulate time. ::looks around:: All: Ready? Good. Offencive positions everyone, lets restore things to how they should be ::Steps onto the Transporter pad::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@:Pazoski: acknowledged ::steps on pad::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: So as long as they dont attack in the next 5 minutes you will be fine. Whats that ::motions to the device on her waist::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ *XO* you are clear to transport - good luck
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> @::gives the transporter chief a nod:: Chief: Do it.
Host Kalath says:
CTO: My personal laser sword. Yours are diffrent?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
Kalath: Yes we just have particle weapons ::takes out his phaser:: we try to to do hand to hand, especially me ::almost blushes:: I have a size disadvantage
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: Pazoski, Ivanova and Wall are beamed to the saviour room, the transpoort takes a while as if something is chaging phase whyle they are transporting. Yet they get through
Host Kalath says:
::almost laughs at the CTOs comment then ignites her "sword" when she sees the transporter beam::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> ::materialises and takes a brief scan of the room seeing only two people, one Wirathian and one other:: Kalath/Mesme: Hands up!
Host Kalath says:
::jumps on Pazoski with her weapon in place::
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@CTO: raise sheilds
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@:CTO: Lt! glad to see you
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CO: Captain Wall? So others did make it!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> ::tries desperatly to keep the "laser sword" away from his key areas, like limbs and struggles to get Kalath off him::
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@::fires a stun shot at Kalath::
Host Kalath says:
@<CTO Farak>CO: sir, the Wirathian forces are begining to take defensisve maneuvers and are asking twhy the Elara nd the other 2 ships are here. They don't suspect us yet though
Host Kalath says:
ACTION: Pazoski is hit in the arm as Kalath falls to the floor. She is hit by Wall's stun beam
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CTO: tell them we are conducting manouvres on Admiral Crenshaws orders
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CO: I take it you have a good plan here sir.
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Voices are heard on the other sides of the door, Kalath's wrist chirps again
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CTO: it just me and the CIV
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
<XO_Cmdr_Pazoski> ::stands clutching his arm:: All: Defencive positions! This is going to get ugly.
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@CTO: we must destroyed this system in this room?
Host CO_Capt_Wall says:
@:Pazoski: Commander about that
CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
@ OPS: open up a comm channel, all frequancies maximum range
