@::Turns and looks at M'Tor::  TO:  Is everything all right?

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Heads to the Bridge::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Reads over the most recent reports from her departments, makes some minor changes to schedules and personel::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks up suddenly at the CNS :: CNS: Nothing Ma'am .. I was just contemplating killing one of the colonists, but Starfleet frowns upon that sort of behavior I am told.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Raises an eyebrow::  TO:  Yes, they do.  What occured?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::the TL doors open and she enters the bridge:: All: I guess we're ready to start our work.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Looks over at the captain with a nod and steps back from the chair::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods to the counselor, at the chief of science, at the TO, at somebody passing by with a tray (now that's weird) and turns to Michael Taylor:: Taylor: I have received the report from Dr. Foley.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Steps over to the TO::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::his pulse beings to quicken when he realizes he might be the only staff from the Europa present::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: shakes head :: CNS: Just simple rudness, on the colonists part. I ... was surprised that I did not lose my temper and put him through a bulkhead or something.. I was however quite tempted....

Host CO_Senn says:
@::decides not to nod at Taylor but motions for him to approach them::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::entering data into a PADD::
Senn: I trust you are satisfied with the results?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::The OPSman Taylor::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  I commend you on your... control under the current situation.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Looks over at the Taylor's, father and son::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Walks to the Captain::

Host CO_Senn says:
@Michael: I am. Honestly, I also had little doubt it would result this way, but you can't blame me for hoping.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods as he goes over the TAC console and mumbles :: Self: But if he tries that again...

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Downloads the latest stellar cartography data onto her console.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::begins to calm down as he realizes that no one would leave an ensign in charge of an Intrepid class starship::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::nods:: Senn: I don't blame you. Most people have a hard time dealing with time travel paradox-- ::stutters a bit:: Ahh, well, so I've read anyway..

CSO_Rya says:
@::Forwards the star charts to Ens. Felhaber on the Hudson.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::narrows her eyes at Mikey and places a hand studiously on his shoulder:: Mikey: So I have heard as well. We have heard so much the both of us, haven't we? ::if he doesn't realize that he's not a good poker player by now...::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sees the star charts arrive from the Europa andis relieved:: *CSO* Thank you, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
*CSO* I will go over them immediately, sir.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: reviews scans on the console and finds ....  nothing ::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@ ::Watches the two men, father younger then son::  Interesting...

CSO_Rya says:
@COM: FCO: You're welcome ensign. Ensign Ling will coordinate with you from here. We need to try and pinpoint our temporal displacement as best as possible.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::maintains the Hudson's distance from the Europa while he overlooks the star charts::

OPS_Taylor says:
@Mikey: Are you ready to modify the Hudson?

Host CO_Senn says:
@OPS, Mikey: You two will coordinate the job from the Hudson. Ensign M'Tor and Lt. Rya will be your liaisons with the Europa for evaluation of the modifications. I hope you.... well.... ::lowers her voice:: whatever.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::takes the current star charts and compares them to 24th century star charts::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: raises his head as he hears his name ::

TO_Astley says:

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Taylor: I am da--, Lt..

FCO_Felhaber says:
::ponders a moment over how weird it is to be lost in the gamma quadrant AND thrown almost 50 yeaes into the future::

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::looks up at the captain's voice and smiles encouragingly at  Lt. Taylor::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::bites her lower lip, stealing a glance towards the counselor::

OPS_Taylor says:
@Micheal: Yes.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Catches the captains' eye::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Waits to complete his sentence::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::hopes T'Salea will have the opportunity to chat with Taylor-dad sometime in the near future::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: stares openly from OPS to Michael Taylor ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::after hearing that they were stuck in the future with a far stronger Dominion presence, he had felt even more despair::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Gestures to Ens. Ling to look at her screen and explains that she wants her to try and determine as precisely as possible how many years into the future they've been thrown.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@OPS: ::believes he must have missed her last sentences:: Are you ready to start work, Lieutenant?

FCO_Felhaber says:
::it only helped a little bit that blame had fallen on a Bajoran vessel that exploded while all three ships were in the wormhole::

OPS_Taylor says:
@CO: Yes, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::apparently it was not his fault at all::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::nods, if doubtful:: OPS: Then inform the Hudson you will be beamed over there, and get going.

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Hits his commbadge:: *SFI*: Please meet me in Transporter Room 1 ::Walks out to the TL:: CO: May I take TO_Astley as well?

Host CO_Senn says:
@OPS: Oh, something else. I believe that in the rotation, Ensign Astley is to join you there as well.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::smiles:: OPS: You read my mind. 
Michael: Good luck, Mr. Taylor. We'll be in contact to evaluate and implement the modifications.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Captain, after we make the modifications, we will need to contact the nearest Starfleet installation... if they have not been discovered..

OPS_Taylor says:
@CO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@Michael: We will, as we accorded in our chat earlier.

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Walks into the TL and waits for the TO::

TO_Astley says:
@::nods at the CO and joins OPS::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Senn: Of course Captain. ::follows his father to the Turbolift::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to Astley as she heads off the bridge ::

CSO_Rya says:
@::While Ens. Ling begins to work on extrapolating the requested data, Alara begins to search through the database on all instances of known time travel.::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::watches the Taylors and Astley enter the TL and slumps undignifiedly over her chair::

OPS_Taylor says:
@COmputer: Transporter Room 1

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::walks over to the captains chair and stands beside it in her usual pose and position::
Host CO_Senn says:
@::raises her eyes up to the counselor:: CNS: Yes, commander?

TO_Astley says:
@::quietly stands behind the Taylor's::

OPS_Taylor says:
@Micheal: Tell me how you are going to change everything?

CSO_Rya says:
@::Is amazed by just how many instances of time travel there have been::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Things are well?

OPS_Taylor says:
@:: Walks out of the Turbolift and heads for Transporter Room 1::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Not quite. I am getting an interesting... 'vibe' from Michael Taylor. I am trying to decipher if he's naive or incredibly guilty.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: signals the Computer to notify him of anything unusual and begins searching Starfleet protocols on Time Travel ::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  In what way?

TO_Astley says:
@::follows behind them::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Enters the TR1::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Every time he mentions time travel... I just get this feeling he's not being entirely honest.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Taylor: The Jem'Hadar in this time use a combined polaron-disruptor type weapon, based around Romulan technology..

OPS_Taylor says:
@Micheal: Romulan technology?

Host CO_Senn says:
@Self: Speaking of time travel... ::swivels her chair::
CSO: How is your job coming along, Lt?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@Taylor: Oh, that's right, you don't know.. the Dominion is mainly comprised of the Romulans, Jem'Hadar, and what's left of the Breen.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  I do not always subscribe to instincts, but I have learned that they are an integral part of being a good starfleet captain.  Has he told you of any others down below?

Host Michael_Taylor says:
@::steps up onto the pad::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: CSO: I've finished comparing our data on this region to what we've been scanning, and according to the amount of stellar drift it looks like we are 68 years into the future.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::SFI is already at the transporter room and waiting on the pad::

OPS_Taylor says:
@::Steps onto the Pad::

TO_Astley says:
@::grimaces at the mention of the Jem'Hadar as she is stepping on the pad::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: shakes his head as his reviews Starfleet's policy on Time Travel ::

OPS_Taylor says:
@Chief: Energize.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Lost in the seemingly endless stream of information, it takes her a second.:: CO: I'm sorry sir. Umm. It's, well, it's going. It seems Starfleet vessels have a nasty habit of jumping out of their time fairly frequently.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Not directly, but he has implied more than once that he's not alone. Also, the team saw more people, although the less contact we have with them is best for us... if we are to try not to violate the TD

CSO_Rya says:
@FCO:COM: Thank you Ensign. Good job.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Materializes on the Hudson::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: CSO: Thank you, sir.

TO_Astley says:
::materalizes on the Hudson::

CSO_Rya says:
@:: Looks at Ens. Ling for confirmation of the FCO's number::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::smiles at the Betazoid:: CSO: I have suffered it once before. But there's nothing from that experience that could help us. Have you find anything useful in your research?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Then you are presented with a paradox.  In order to varify information you need to go down and see or speak with the others, yet you are trying to avoid the TD.

Host CO_Senn says:
::SFI materializes on the Hudson as well::

OPS_Taylor says:
Micheal: Where are you going to start? ::Walks out of the Transporter room::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::goes back to monitoring distance between the Hudson and the Europa::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: The others won't be different from Taylor, I'm afraid. They are not concerned about the TD... I have this feeling they all have their orders.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::materializes and suddenly realizes he's never been on an Intrepid-class::
Taylor: Sensors.. then shields..

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Which are...?

TO_Astley says:
::walks out of transporter room with the Taylor's::

CSO_Rya says:
@::Smiles back at Captain Senn::CO: Well, there have been a number of different techniques used by the various crews to return to their proper time. Many seem to involve an inordinate amount of luck.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::raises an eyebrow, feigning amusement:: CNS: Classified.

OPS_Taylor says:
Micheal: Can you access everything from the bridge?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::raises her eyebrow:: CO:  Indeed...

OPS_Taylor says:
::Heads to the bridge::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::sighs and stands up:: CSO: Well, luck brought us here. Of the bad variety.

TO_Astley says:
::follows OPS::

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Which does not mean I know them. But it does mean they won't tell me or anyone else.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::turns to look at SFI, and sees a look of suspicion::
Taylor: I should be able to.. but I may have to take the sensors off-line for a short time. I'll brief you on everything before I do it.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: shakes head :: CO: Captain, Starfleet's policy concerning Time Travel is .... :: sighs :: to say the least difficult... I believe the humans have an expression .. We are in trouble if we do and in trouble is we do not.

CSO_Rya says:
@ CO: Aye sir and according to Ens. Felhaber's research we're 68 years in the future.

Host CO_Senn says:
@TO: You are correct there. And I'm afraid that whether we like it or not, our presence in this era will have its effects... if/when we make it back.

OPS_Taylor says:
Micheal: Alright.  ::Looks at SFI:: SFI: You're with me on the bridge.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  From past readings, those that are returned to their time, often follow their paths backwards.  Unless someone from Starfleet realizes what happened and can repeat it, I do not think we shall have such 'luck' in returning by that method.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::sixty eight.... sixty eight....:: CSO: Send him a 'good job' on my part. Making sure was necessary.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks on the Bridge:: FCO: Report.

CSO_Rya says:
@ CO:Aye sir. I'll pass it along.

FCO_Felhaber says:
Taylor: Sir, we are currently holding position 3,000 km from the Europa's starboard flank.

TO_Astley says:
::walks on the bridge and heads to TAC::

FCO_Felhaber says:
Taylor: I have completed some research on our situation, sir, and we are confirmed to be 68 years in the future.

CSO_Rya says:
@FCO:COM: Ensign, Captain Senn wished me to thank you for doing such a good job with the research as well.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::grins:: COM: CSO: Thank you, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: Thank you. Now, about the time travel theory... it seems that we will have to rely on Michael Taylor's device.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sits up a little more straight::

CSO_Rya says:
@ CO: Captain, I'd still like to pursue our other options as well. I don't want to rely soley on Mr. Taylor if it's all the same.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::turns to the CNS, and speaks with a low voice:: CNS: Which of course has been tested and used, no matter what they say.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: I agree with you there. If we can make it back on our own, that would be the best option.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::nods::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  Are we going to have the opportunity to examine this device or are we to take it on faith alone?

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Nods and returns to hear studies while thinking about the various experts on her staff who can be pulled to work on this project.::

OPS_Taylor says:
FCO: Thank you. ::Sits in the Big Chair[tm]:: TO: Connect me to the Europa.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CSO: If I may be of use in your reasearch ... I am ... frustrated with our inactivity...

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: Rest assured we are not going to go blind on that subject.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::types in a few commands in his PADD::
Taylor: The first modification will add a recursive scanning matrix to the sensory systems, which should allow you to more accurately track Dominion ships. Hopefully their cloaking technology has not evolved much in the past 10 months..

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  They will allow us to examine it?  ::Skeptisim in her eyes::

Host CO_Senn says:
@::savors the idea of sending M'Tor to clean the torpedo launchers::

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: What do you know about this time travel device captain?

OPS_Taylor says:
Micheal: Alright. Make the adjustments.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS: They have no reason not to. We already know lots of things we shouldn't. All that is left is for them to trust we will dismantle the device and destroy any evidence of its existence upon return.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  I am curious to see this device... ::turns to look at Rya::  Along with the CSO.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: I know for sure it was under development. ::thinks: "by some organization wich is not exactly Federation approved":: I have my suspicions it has been tested and has been effective, but that's just my opinion.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::inputs the modifications into the computer, which momentarily causes the sensors to go offline.. after 3 minutes, they come back online and perform a diagnostic::

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Is paying total attention to the Captain and Counselor and frowns.::CO/CNS: I'd really like to have more information and time to study this device before we even consider using it. For all we know, they could be using us as the guinea pigs.

Host CO_Senn says:
@::her eyes drift towards the tactical console, where the modifications going over on the Hudson are being displayed::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::monitoring helm status::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CO:  I concur.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: If that were the case, they would never know if it works. No... I think they have used it and with good results as far as the device goes. ::completes the thought in her mind, oblivious at being surrounded by telepaths. "And pretty bad ones as far as history turned."::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The Hudson's sensors show highly increased (almost 100%) resolution and range.
TO_Astley says:
::opens a channel to the Europa::  OPS:  Channel is ready, sir.

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: You think they brought us here?

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: Europa: CO: The Upgrade is going well, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CNS, CSO: But in any case, I prefer to make it back using our own resources.

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO: I think many things right now. I cannot prove a single one still... but the suspicion is there.

CSO_Rya says:
@CO: If they brought us here, why would they then turn around and give us a way home?

Host CO_Senn says:
@::matter-of-factly:: CSO: Because they need a transportation mean towards the nearest military facility.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  Who says they are?  And how much time is needed to change something in the past.  A ripple from a small stone goes a long way.

OPS_Taylor says:
Micheal: How about after this we have a nice dinner with your Mother's recipe.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Taylor: I would love to accept, but we a lot of work to do..

Host CO_Senn says:
@CSO, CNS: That, or worse. For the time being I prefer  to think I'm being used that way only.
