=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10411.07 - "Secret Trek, part IV "=/\=
Host SM_Lilia says:
To the naked eye it would seem the Elara and the Sagres face each other in the quietness of empty space. However that is still not what sensors record.
Host SM_Lilia says:
Meanwhile, to Commander Mesme's team, the USS Sagres is quite a real ship, with real humanoids inside.
Host SM_Lilia says:
Just as the headaches being felt by some of the crew of the Elara are quite real, Ensign Knight being the worse case at this point
Host SM_Lilia says:
Again the USS Elara finds herself in an inexplicable life and death situation and again her crew will give their best to come out of it.

Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: gets up from his seat on the bridge and begins pacing a well worn path back & forth across the bridge ::
Host Will says:
@::leans against the wall shaking his head and speaking aloud:: Self; How could i have made such a mistake
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::facing Will with a mixture of annoyance, anger and interest:: Will: Why would you be expecting the Elara to come here looking for you?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::still bluntly staring at Will::
Host Will says:
ACTION: As he was near the FCO's biobed, Dr Ordo suddenly falls unconscious on top of him
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: lying in sickbay, trying to stay conscious...feels something heavy land on him :: self : what the!?
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
::exits his quarters and goes towards the bridge::
Host Will says:
ACTION: Quickly several nurses take the CMO to another biobed and Dr Greene checks on the FCO
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Take a look around, while I try and get some sense out of this person.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@XO: Should I proceed to the bridge and try to recover the captain’s logs commander?
Host Will says:
@XO/CEO: Because that is what happened. I only don't understand why ... why it is not happening ::shakes his head again. Just as his friend does::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: calls out wildly :: all: what’s happening?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: What do you mean that is what happened? ::begins to wonder:: Are you saying you have experienced this before?
Host Will says:
@XO: Of course not, I wasn't even born. Look, do you know ...
Host Will says:
@ACTION: Suddenly a Romulan female with an armed escort enters the corridor
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@CEO: Yes, and see if you can figure out why we can’t detect this ship.
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::notices the new arrival and draws his phaser:: Romulan: Who are you ::wonders why he always gets into these situations::
Host Will says:
@<Romulan Female> Will; I don’t care about your family problems. Just if they have the weapon
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@ ::jumps up and starts walking to the nearest turbo lift:: XO: aye sir, I'll contact you as soon as I find anything.
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
::enters the bridge and nods to the crew:: Sirs...
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
::Patiently watches over the sensor settings and the rest of the console in front of him::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::sees the Romulans and pulls out his phaser instinctively::
Host Will says:
@<Romulan Female>XO/CEO: let us talk, on the bridge
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
SO: Still no sign of the Sagres on Sensors?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::watches the new arrivals with suspicion and feels his tail swishing inside his suit:: Romulan: Lead the way.
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene>FCO: I have given you a stabilizer. The contacts between your symbiot and the host body seem to be improving. Your headache should go away soon, but you have to be back within the hour for another dose
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: sits up on his bio bed, trying not to loose his balance ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::looks at the XO and sees his reaction, puts down the phaser and continues to walk with them::
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
CO: Nothing yet sir, I'm still waiting for that signal.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
DR Greene: Thank you doctor
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
<Add @ in last to lines>
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: sighs in frustration ::
Host Will says:
@ACTION: The Romulan leads the way to a turbo lift. Will and his assistant follow whispering amongst themselves
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::taps his combadge:: *CO*: Mesme to Timrok, Sir we have encountered some crew of the Sagres, and there are Romulans with them.
Host Will says:
@The pointy ear human just shakes his head obviously disappointed
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
DR Greene: will I be fit enough to return to the bridge?...or the Sagres?
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene>Report to the Captain and take that new counselor of ours with you. He should be reporting to the Captain
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
SO: Keep a close watch on the away teams sensor readings :: hearing the comm :: and scan the area for cloaked vessels
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::enters the TL with the Romulans, thinking this is a little too cozy::
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
CO: Aye sir ::Adjust the sensor for scanning cloaked vessels::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::walks into the TL behind the XO still looking at his face for any orders::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*XO* Romulans?! Are the crewmembers you have encountered listed on the ships roster?
Host Will says:
@ACTION: Soon the group arrives on the bridge. The Sagres senior crew is there. All standing motionless at their posts. Waaay too motionless
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
DR Greene: yes doctor :: gets up, tidies himself and begins to walk out of sickbay and towards the nearest turbo lift ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::gives the CEO a "be on your guard" look::
Host Will says:
@::looks up listening to Timrok’s voice::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@*CO*: Unknown sir, Given our short notice on our mission objectives I wasn't able to look at the roster... ::watches the motionless crew:: All: What’s going on here?
Host Will says:
@ACTION: The Romulan enters the Captain’s ready room without her escort
Host Will says:
@<Romulan>XO/CEO: If you please
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::looks at the XO and then at the Romulan female..... begins walking to the Ready Room door::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::follows after the CEO and the Romulan, takes a glance at the console readouts as he walks by::
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> ::Takes the Captain's seat:: CEO: That XO is stubborn isn't him. I would prefer the other one
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene> *CO*: Greene to Timrok
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: raises an eyebrow :: SO: Find the Sagres crew manifest and send it over to the XO's Tricorder
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*Greene*: Go ahead doctor
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::enters the Ready Room still looking at the Romulan::
Host Will says:
@::enters the room after the Romulan, Mesme and McKnight, closing the door behind him::
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: waits impatiently on the bridge for something to happen ::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: Walking down the corridor :: Computer: Computer, What is the location of CNS Ensign Starbuck?
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene> *CO*: I estimate 60% of our crew is having neural instability disorders. I thought you would like to know that sir
Host Will says:
<Computer> FCO: Counselor Starbuck is on the bridge
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::stands in the middle of the ready room feeling slightly less stressed than a few moments ago:: Romulan: Would you now mind telling us what you are doing onboard this vessel and what have you done to the crew?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*Greene* Not as much as i would like to know the cause, and the cure for that matter doctor
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: enters the turbo lift :: Computer: bridge
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> XO: First things first. Do you have the psychotruder?
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene> We are working on it Captain. But I'm afraid Dr Ordo is suffering from the same problem. and it is escalating
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::makes a "what is that" face and looks at the XO::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::turns to the CEO and gives him a confused look:: Romulan: The psycho what?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: Notices the CNS from the corner of his eye & peers at him ::
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: ::notices the glance:: Yes, sir?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: as the doors open revealing the bridge, he steps out and for a second wonders where he is...::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: Ensign Starbuck i presume?
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> ::ignores Mesme and looks past him to Will:: Will: You failed, Doctor
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: Yes sir, your presumption is correct.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: Then I expect that my presumption you are reporting for duty is also correct yes?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: spots the captain and the CNS and starts to walk over ::
Host Will says:
@::shakes his head:: XO: I don’t understand. You are from the Elara, correct? ::doesn’t wait for the answer Romulan: I suppose the small chances we had that we would end up in a reality too different from ours have come true. She doesn’t-t appear to exist here
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: Your logic is infallible. I am fully ready for duty.
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> Will: Let us hope then, that for their sake your brother doesn't exist here either. I will ponder on what to do then let you know
Host Will says:
@ACTION: The Romulan leaves the room
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::watches the Romulan leave:: XO: Commander, what is this nonsense?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::listening to all this talk of alternate realities he begins to feel rather small, well, smaller than normal, turns to Will:: Will: Doctor?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: raises the eyebrow some more as the FCO approaches :: FCO: Report
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::glances at the CEO:: CEO: I have no idea, but it doesn’t sound good.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::partially raises from his chair:: XO: I suggest we do what we came here to do commander, I need to download those logs so we can see what happened.
Host Will says:
@::sadly looks at the XO and CEO::XO/CEO: I am sorry you were pulled into this
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@CEO: Go find out what you can, but watch out for those Romulans.
Host Will says:
@CEO: You don’t have to. What happened is simple. We used a neuro scrambler to trap the Sagres. We sent that mutiny message to attract you. Here you are
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: But why would you want to attract us, to get this psycho weapon? ::simmers and swishes his tail::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@Will: Why would you do such a thing? ::stares in disbelief::
Host Will says:
@XO: To save our future
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: But your future isn't ours, is it? And who is this woman the Romulan mentioned?
Host Will says:
@XO: You see, where ... when I come from. My.... a young creature with enormous powers is taking over the universe. And the only one who could have stopped him is dead. So are the plans for the only weapon that might render him harmless
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
::Makes some more adjustments to the sensors, for optimal tracking::
Host Will says:
@XO: she was my mother ... and first officer of the Elara ::sighs::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: reaches the captain and gives a short stand to attention :: CO: well sir as you know we landed on the Sagres and things seamed to be going well, as far as i recall we reached one of the main corridors when i felt violently sick as the connection between me and my symbiot became dangerously unstable. almost at that exact moment someone humanoid in appearance walked up to us, name of will. i assume he is a member o
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@Self: First officer of the Elara?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: What was her name?
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene>*CNS*: Greene to Starbuck
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
*Greene*: Starbuck here...
Host Will says:
@XO: That .. doesn't matter now. If you don't know the name of the weapon then she probably just doesn’t exist in this reality ... or never joined Starfleet
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: I’m not to sure what else happened....but the doctor who was treating me fell unconscious, that’s all remember since I got back :: his eyes cross for a moment then snap back ::
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene>*CNS*: I take it you know your way around cerebral anatomy?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: nods to the FCO :: OK, take the helm
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: Or perhaps she just never joined the Elara. Humor me, it cannot do any harm, can it?
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
*Greene*: If it's in the head... I know about it ::smiles to himself::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: aye sir :: walking more confidently than before he walks towards his post ::
Host Will says:
@XO: Alright, her name was Alexandra, Alexandra Gomes
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: sits in his seat and sets a timer on his panel so he can get back to sickbay on time...at least that’s the plan ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::gives Will a look:: Will: Alex Gomes? ::thinks for a moment:: Hold on.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::starts thinking of temporal mechanics::
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene>*CNS*: All my medical staff are busy making sure most of our crew stays alive enough time to get out of here. So, Ensign, I will send you all the data we found so far and I expect you to find a cure. I will send it to one of the science consoles ... I suppose you know how to use those
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@*CO*: Mesme to Timrok, Sir, was there an Alexandra Gomes who met with you a few months ago?
Host Will says:
<Dr Greene> CNS: All you have to do is find a cure
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
*Greene*: All in a day's work... sure . round the data to console 3 ::goes to console 3::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: somewhat taken aback by the XO's question!! :: *XO*: Yes?! What of it?!
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
::analyzes the data and begins thinking up solutions::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::smiles at Will:: Will: Perhaps there is a way we can help each other.
Host Will says:
@XO: Is there? Tell me, do you know anyone by the name of Shane?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::shakes his head to Will for a moment but holds up his hand:: *CO*: Its complicated to explain sir, but do you know someone by the name of Shane as well?
Host Will says:
@::looks curious::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::impatiently awaiting the captains reply::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: frowns at his own idea of where this is leading :; *XO*:  yes
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::looks back to Will:: Will: I believe our Captain knows the people you are looking for.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: strokes his chin deep in thought ::
Host Will says:
@XO: But you don't know the weapon ... Well, in my universe. Shane, my big brother is the one causing havoc. You see though we were raised together he is not my blood brother. What blood he has in his veins ... I do not care to know
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: sits back in his seat - almost slumping ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::looks around the ready room:: Will: Can you return the crew of the Sagres back to normal?
Host Will says:
@XO: Yes, they are alright. Like you they are living in their dreams, so to speak ::scratches his head:: XO: Well its complicated
Host Will says:
@ACTION: The Romulan returns
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Will: Living in our dreams? ::turns to the CEO and shrugs::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::sees the Romulan at the door and raises from his seat::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: stares through the floor ::
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> Will: We have made our decision. Your plan has failed, we will return and evacuate the Galaxy. Your brother has won.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: not literally ::
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
CO: Sir, just reporting that I still have no sign of the Sagres. ::Checking the sensor settings once again::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: looks up at the SO :: SO: What?
Host Will says:
@::nods to the Romulan and gets up:: XO: I have to go now, I wish I could have met your Captain. Oh well
Host Will says:
@XO/CEO: Find my mother, and Shane, before its too late
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::looks at Will:: Will: Wait! What is going to happen?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::looks surprised:: Will: I guess we will do our best.
Host Will says:
@<Romulan> Will: Lets go Dr Timrok
Host Will says:
@::just waves and leaves the room not answering the question::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: returns to his previous deep thought ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::jumps when he hears the captains surname:: XO: Is he who I think he is?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::turns to the CEO:: CEO: After them! ::heads after Will and the Romulan::
Host Will says:
@ACTION: There are no signs of the Romulan or the pointy eared human
Host Will says:
@ACTION: The bridge of the Sagres is still filled with her crew, immobile
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::sees no sight of them:: XO: Gone quickly, haven't they.
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::smiles at the CEO:: CEO: Like a dream when you wake.
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
::Doubtfully checking the sensor readings:: CO: Sir, I am detecting a high energy field of an unknown source. I believe it's where the Sagres was last seen.
Host Will says:
ACTION: On the viewscreen the nebula suddenly appears around the Sagres
Host Will says:
ACTION: Sensors start detecting the Galaxy class vessel and her crew (all alive)
Host Will says:
@ACTION: Slowly the crew of the Sagres begins to wake
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: looks up again ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::watches the crew begin to move:: CEO: Oh dear...
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*XO*: What’s you status?
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: look alive
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Captain Anderson>XO/CEO: What are you doing on my bridge?
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@*CO*: I would rather not say over the comm sir...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:; snaps from a daze :: Co: what?...oh....aye sir
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
SO: keep a tight lock on the away team
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: Sir that high-energy field might be the course of these brain anomalies...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@CO Anderson: Captain, I am the CEO of the USS Elara.... welcome back.
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::turns to the Captain:: Anderson: Captain I am Commander Aun'to Mesme of the USS Elara and this is Lt Jg McKnight, what we are doing here is difficult to explain
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
CO: Aye sir! It appears the energy field is gone now.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*CNS*: Can the shields be modified to filter out the effects
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::signals to the CEO to take off his helmet, removes his own::
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
::Works hard to keep the lock steady::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Anderson> CEO: Elara? Back? ::checks the nearest science console:: CEO/XO: What happened?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::takes his helmet off and takes a deep breath::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: starts making himself busy :;
Host SM_Lilia says:
@ACTION: The air is fresh as it would be in any Starfleet vessel
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: Sickbay reports that the patients are getting back to normal...including Admiral Ix... Dr. Greene says that she wants a full report from you...
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
:: stands up and approaches the viewscreen ::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Anderson: It would appear your crew was used as bait in a very elaborate mousetrap, I will be happy to fill you in later, but I have to report to my CO as a matter of urgency.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: Really? Even Ix? Maybe you should double check that particular case, slowly... even triple check it
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
CO: Well as disappointing as it may be... she's alive.
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
CNS: On some level perhaps!
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: Hail the Sagres
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::takes hold of the CEO's arm:: CEO: Do not discuss what happened here with any members of the crew, apart from myself and the CO, I have a feeling this will be classified rather quickly
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::looks at the XO:: XO: of course sir.... temporal accidents are usually classified
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: aye sir :: opens a channel ::
Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: Captain Anderson appears at the Elara's viewscreen
Host SM_Lilia says:
@COM: USS Elara: Greetings Captain Timrok. I do hope you have more answers than we do
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@::looks at the viewscreen and smiles to the face of his CO:: Self: This is going to mean so much paperwork...
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
COM: Sagres: Greetings, we will be working on the answers for some time, in the mean time if you will excuse my XO & CEO, we will escort you from the Nebula
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Anderson>COM: USS Elara: Acknowledged Elara. You lead we follow
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
*XO*: When you are ready
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
SO: bring them home.. and don’t forget our Runabout
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@*CO*: On our way sir ::motions for the CEO to head for the TL::
Host CO_Cpt_Timrok says:
FCO: We have the lead take us out of here
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@::follows the XO:: XO: What now sir?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: aye sir
SO_LtJg_Ktooth says:
CO: Aye sir
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@Anderson: Oh Captain! There is a runabout docked at one of your hatches, if you give us 5 minutes we will have it removed.
CNS_Ens_Starbuck says:
::stretches out a little and leaves the console::
Host SM_Lilia says:
@<Anderson>XO: We will tractor it into our shuttle bay ::sends the order to his OPS officer::
XO_Cmdr_Mesme says:
@CEO: Now we try and sort out this mess, preferably without going insane. ::nods to Anderson:: Anderson: In that case we will pick it up later...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
@XO: Very well sir, what do you want me to do? ::stands expecting orders::
