Host JimS says:
The Hayden finds itself trapped in another dimension, one that is just slightly out of step with our own.

Host JimS says:
Many subtle changes gave the crew their first indications, and the first messages they received from Admiral Knight, confirmed their worst fears.

Host JimS says:
They are now tangled in some sort of war and are being escorted back to the ES 217 of this dimension, under threat of destruction if they don't follow a set course.

Host JimS says:
Oh one other thing, in this dimension our lovely CSO and dashing OPS are married…let the fun begin!

Host JimS says:
Welcome to Chapter 3,  "Getting to Know You" , of the Hayden's newest saga, "Are We There Yet?"

Host JimS says:
<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in the central chair in the command ring on the Bridge with a serious look on her face, as if thinking about their next course of action::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::still downloading the last little bits of information::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: At science, pulling up the sensor data.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain I plan on going to deck 4 to check the torps.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Opens the personnel files that he had just gotten himself thinking about a few seconds ago--why not start with his own first?::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Negative, Ensign. At the moment I need you at tactical.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Pulls up the ones that contained the light source.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: How long until we reach ES 217, Lieutenant? ::She looks towards his location::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden:  We're waiting Captain!

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Shocked look of those fighters:: CO: Captain those fighters have fire power of a starship.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: A starship? How is that possible? ::Her ears perk a bit:: COM: Knight: We are heading to your location with your escort, Admiral.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::As he's about to get into the good reading, he is asked for the information, and so he goes ahead and finds it before starting the lovely little novella:: CO: Two minutes, ma'am.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden:  Report to me immediately.  Your crew is restricted to the ship for the time being

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Runs the data through the computer.  Then runs through it again slowly.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Captain...I have found something that may interest you.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I can send the info to a padd ma'am.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: COM: Knight: I will contact you when we have reached the station. ::She nods to OPS:: CEO: Yes, Ensign?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Is it possible that a alternate Hayden fired the torp?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Slowing it down, she realizes she is getting a pattern.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Then opens up his file again and reads. It is about twenty seconds after he does this that the gasping shudder can be heard, followed by an eerie silence as he stares in shock at his console::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: I need the condensed version, Ensign.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
ACTION: ES 217 appears, but a vastly different one than they expected.  There are weapons of every description

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain I recommend that we don’t mess with those fighters.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Well this universe's general order number one is Dominate and Destroy the Opposition. Destroy any resistance, No questions asked...no quarter given. 

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
217 OPS: You will dock immediately.  Do not attempt to deviate from your course

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO/CEO: Kinda like Kirk’s mirror universe.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: ALL: We will not dock until I give the order. OPS: Get me Admiral Knight yet again.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
Interesting...  CO: Captain, there appears to be a repeating pattern every five hours.  The beginning point appears to be at the place when we were first 'struck' by the light.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: According to their records how long has the Federation been at war and with whom?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sounds that are frighteningly similar to an intermittently interrupted trachea come from him. He somehow manages to hear both the Admiral and his Captain, but he does not--in fact he cannot--say anything, merely opening another channel::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Possibly a dimensional rift of some sort?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:A long time...5 years...and with whom is unknown.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  It is a possibility.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain there are 1000's of fighters in orbit.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Doubles over thanks to his difficulty in breathing combined with a lovely pain in his abdomen::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Self: Something is not right here. ::She sits up straighter in her chair:: COM: Knight: Admiral Knight this is the Hayden. Please come in. ::She looks towards the CSO:: CSO: Is there any way to get better scans of the area? Possibly by launching a probe?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO:  everything that made contact seem to has been destroyed.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Keep in mind this is the Briar Patch and given what the CTO has mentioned, I doubt much will get past this station.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Why aren't you docking?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: This federation some sort of klingon/romulan thing?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods to the CTO:: CSO: Attempt to intensify our scans the best way you can. We may be heading back for that area very soon. COM: Knight: It seems that we are having a bit of a problem Admiral.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Thirty fighters in attack formation aiming i recommend we dock.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Captain I'm not a very patient man...dock or be destroyed

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: We are outmatched by those fighters captain.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods and turns back to her sensors, a curious look over at  OPS.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Coughs and breathes in with a very unpleasant gulping sound. Soon enough he falls to the floor. The breathing repeats::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Captain...I am reading a problem with the warp core ::winks at her:: I suggest we don't dock until I get it fixed. Helm seems to be off line too

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::winks again::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CTO: Ensign, red alert. COM: Knight: Admiral, it seems that something is going on here that we are unaware of. We have somehow crossed into this 'alternate' dimension, which is not our own.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Captain, if I might have a moment?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::sets the red alert:: CO: Yes ma’am.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Yes Lieutenant?

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: That's a hard line to swallow Mister.  I'll give you two minutes then you're space dust

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Would like to be able to send a mental message, just motions to her console.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
<edit mama to captain>

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Involuntarily crouches into and out of the fetal position while continuing his very loud and unpleasant breathing.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain all weapons are locked on to us.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: Two minutes is fine Admiral. Please standby and we will proceed.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is, just for the record, experiencing excruciating pain right now.::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: 2 minutes, 1 second and you're dead Captain

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Lieutenant, is everything ok?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS:  Just relax.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She sends a message to the FCO to make it look like they are preparing to dock::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
:: scans the closest fighter, and out loud:: ALL :Whoa! What the heck?!!?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stands up and walks over to the CSO, she looks over her shoulder::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Continues his previous actions, more or less unable to react to the Captain or CTO at this point::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Quietly::  CO:  Two things.  The entire station appears to be focused on the area we just came from.  Also, this just came up.  ::Points to the data mentioning the Hayden had been destroyed three weeks ago.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Weapons coming online preparing to fire.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Begins targeting and turning weapons on ready to fire at fighters;:

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Ma'am I found something else...seems those Fighters are powered by miniature warp cores.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: What the devil is going on there?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Which means that they are unsure what to think of us. ::She looks towards CEO:: CEO: What capabilities do they have?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Admiral: It seems my Flight Control Officer is having some difficulties. Please stand by.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: 15 Seconds Captain

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  That or they were expecting us?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Checking Captain....

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Slowly begins to calm down, though not in a pleasant way. It seems that his struggles are continuing to the best of his ability, but his ability is slowly fading::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Crewman, plot a course towards the location of the white light on... ::Heard the CSO and pauses:: COM: Knight: Admiral, I believe we have another problem.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
ACTION:  A countdown comes over the speakers on the bridge

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Captain I suggest we dock.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: As the computer finally divulges more information.. quietly::  CO:  Captain, he won't fire upon us.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Captain they are just as powerful as a New Orleans Class Starship.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Good-bye Captain

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Here are his orders.  He is to keep us at all costs.  Not destroy us.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods to the CSO:: COM: Knight: Destroying us would be disobeying direct orders Admiral.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Very good Captain, it appears that you do have a good head on your shoulders

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She says quietly:: CSO: Great work, Lieutenant. ::She walks towards the front of the Bridge and stands in the center::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to look at the screen, one brow lifting.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Officer on the bridge> *Sickbay*: Medical emergency on the bridge.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Weapons powering down captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::says quietly to him self::Self:This is just getting more unusual by the moment.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: I suggest Admiral, that you explain yourself. ::She looks towards the man on the screen, her eyes fixed on his::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CEO: Next we will find that the federation has a king.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Get aboard as soon as you can Captain.  I'll be in my office...I suggest you don't try my patience young lady

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: We really need to talk Captain...all blustering and posturing aside

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::Comes to the bridge with considerable speed with a medkit in hand and immediately makes her way to the fallen Caitian::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: I am sorry Admiral but I cannot and will not leave my ship. You may come here however.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: As someone enters the bridge she turns to see a medical officer.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::whispers: Self: Not another crazy admiral.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Very well Captain.  Oh and feel free to guard me as closely as you feel necessary

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Continues with the gradual weakening of his very labored breathing::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
COM: Hayden: Beam me over at your convenience

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Frowns as she looks over at Verradi, wondering what was wrong.  He was fine a moment ago.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::Pulls out a hypospray and sets it to produce a moderate sedative, which she injects into the struggling Verradi::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns as she hears a note from her console.::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: I will not disappoint you, Admiral. ::She looks towards the CTO:: CTO: Ensign, take three security personnel and meet the Admiral in Transporter Room One.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Reads a slight power increase.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Relaxes considerably at the sedative's injection::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: AYe aye ma'am.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
*Security*: I need three personnel in transporter room one.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Goes to the turbolift::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks over at Verradi and the medical officer:: Medic: Is there a problem? ::She has the Transporter Chief prepare the transport::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::Then sets the hypospray to a special sort of stimulant that should allow Verradi to breathe normally without interference to his air supply::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
ACTION: The Admiral appears in TR 1 and waits patiently

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
Computer: Transporter room 1.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::Looks up at the Captain, shocked:: CO: Well, yes. This man was dying about thirty seconds ago.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::turbolift arrives at deck and she leaves turbolift and heads to transporter 1::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Reading through the distortions.::  CO:  Captain, before you leave, you might want to see this.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks over to the CSO:: CSO: What is it, Lieutenant? ::She nods to the medic as if to hold on for a moment::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::looks around curiously, wondering at the "peaceful" feel of this ship

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
<Edit :: to end of line>

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::arrives at transporter room one:: Radm_Knight: I am to escort you to the bridge.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Starts to breathe with some semblance of normalcy again::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CTO: Lead on Ensign

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  I am picking up another power build up, or wave if you will.  It is occurring near the point of the original source of light.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
Radm: Yes sir. ::heads back toward the turbolift::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Glances toward Verradi, concerned, but showing nothing.::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::Follows the young Ensign, offering no resistance::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:What direction?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  From where we entered this area.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: How long until it will be released? ::She looks over the information on the console over the CSO's shoulder::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> CO: Thankfully he seems like he will be all right. Just make sure not to wait so long before summoning us, Captain. It's not like we normally have something important to be doing.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::enters the turbolift::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Medic: If you wish you may have a medical officer stationed on the Bridge.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::waits for the admiral to enter::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::enters and smiles at the young woman's fierce expression::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  I am not positive.  I would have said five hours to fit the original pattern, but this build up seems to be quicker.  :: types in a few commands.::  We have perhaps three hours.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sits up eventually and climbs his way back into his seat, brushing aside assistance preferred by the Medic::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
Computer: Bridge :: Tries to give admiral scary look::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Sin....can we use it to get home?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Coughs a few times and leans heavily on his console::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Analyze the energy more closely. If this is what brought us here, I want to be there so we may get back.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::arrives at the bridge::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  That is what I am wondering.  If the captain’s original suggestion is correct.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> CO: We generally like to keep our limited presence in sickbay. We can get to where we need to be relatively quickly.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::leaves turbolift::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::waits for the Ensign to depart and follows her out::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::With that, she leaves::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:With your permission Ma'am I would like to give the CSO a hand?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Granted. ::She nods towards the Admiral and motions to her Ready Room:: CSO: Lieutenant, you have the Bridge. ::She walks towards the Ready Room::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  I think the trick would be for us to get there at the right moment.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::follows the Captain, noticing how busy the bridge crew is and nods to himself::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Is there a danger to the ship?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Had, in the trauma imposed upon him, completely forgotten about what he'd just seen. Instead his main worry was the card left in his hand by the Medic telling him that he needed to go to Sickbay to be checked on soon::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods acknowledgement as she turns back to her station.::  CEO:  I am wondering.  There orders are to detain us.  If they do... and these pulses are lessening... we may have a problem on our hands getting back the way we came through... if that is a natural dimensional rift.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::stands and waits for the Captain to begin::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She enters her Ready Room. She walks behind her desk and takes a seat:: Knight: I believe you have some explaining to do, Admiral. ::She folds her hands together::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Do subspace weapons have any effect on dimensional rifts?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Are you saying it could be man made?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  As for the danger... we are working in unknown territory.  I would not want to fire a weapon while in one.  It could collapse... with us in it.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: There is nothing in federation database that has the type of power to do that.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: I don't explain myself to junior officers Captain, mine or you.  I wil discuss this with you however

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Groans and decides to waste some time while he recuperates. Part of this waste comes from looking over simple records of Computer Core maintenance and such things.::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
<edit to you >

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:What if we modulated the shields to the inverse frequency and shield geometry?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  I do not know. I need more data, preferably at the source.  There is still the fact of the admirals orders and they were... or seemed to be, waiting for something.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: We are facing an enemy we can neither see or find

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: About subspace weapons and dimensional rifts?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  What power are you talking about?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Subspace weapons could they be experimenting with those?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stares at the Admiral, not showing her expression of distrust:: Knight: And this concerns the Hayden how, Admiral? According to our records the Hayden from this dimension was destroyed three weeks ago.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Hearing the groan looks toward Verradi, but goes no where near him as her presence seems to cause him problems enough.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods with something like a confused acknowledgement when the records clearly indicated that someone aboard the Hayden--a crewmember, specifically--must have done the tampering.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO: We can always try launch a probe?

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Use your head Captain...you all mysteriously appear exactly where our Hayden disappears?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  We do not know this place.  It is... possible.  The energy needed would be substantial though.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO/CEO: I am wondering if they plan on launching a invasion of other dimensions.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  With all those ships staring us down out there?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CTO:If they did Ensign we would be dead already.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain, we're slowly dying.  I've lost 10 ships in the last two days

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Yes with all those ships out there staring at us.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Knight: If we were switched for some strange reason, Admiral and it seems that you or command knew about this. Why were we being threatened?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CEO: They could just want to learn about us.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Does a few, more detailed scans of the records to see if anything else shows up about who did it. A lot of it, of course, is automatic, since Verradi is quite out-of-it about now::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: And..Captain, your universe is next...We didn't know what sort of people you were

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  If I were them and a probe went by me, I would have some target practice.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Knight: What do you know about this enemy?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO/CEO:  I would like to point out, that we were originally ordered here due to alien ships in the badlands.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:Not with a recon probe.... ::brings up the specs behind them:: ....I can add a holo-projector and calibrate it's power signature to make it look like a asteroid or something.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Knight: What do you mean were Admiral?

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Only that it's comprised of some sort of crystalline matrix...that's all we know...our ships whatever it is

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain do I have to do all your thinking for you?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:You saying the admiral could very well be a alien?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  Coming from us? I don't know... but I will have to go with your knowledge of this.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::sighs:: We've been monitoring the energy that brought you here

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: Could the torp have been a Hayden alternate?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CSO:I can have the probe ready in a few minuets....

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
Knight: If our dimension was in fact destroyed it would not make sense for us to be sent to this dimension. ::She looks towards him curiously:: Knight: As have we.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO: Every dimension has its own... signature.  You might check your records to see if it is identical to ours.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::runs a analyze of the signature on the torp::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain, I'm afraid our dimension may just be a "training" exercise

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sighs, finding very little from this continued staring at the records. He goes on with his random, re-orienting tasks::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CEO:  As for the admiral being an alien... at this point, all of us are.  Go ahead and prepare the probe.  But wait for the captains orders.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CSO: I just hope we don’t find ourselves married to someone else this universe.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: You need to get back to your dimension and warn them

 CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: Knight: Do you believe this dimension will survive this war?

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: And Captain we're wasting valuable time

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::nods::CSO:Aye....::enters the TL:: Deck 5

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Not at the present rate of attrition.  Let's just say it's the least we can do to try and prepare your side Captain

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is about to look over his personnel files again before his hands freeze and his eyes widen and suddenly he remembers what he saw. This time he doesn't react physically except to yell:: All: NOOOOOO!

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Sighs and walks over toward Verradi::  OPS:  Is everything... alright?

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain, our universe has been at nothing but war for centuries. Our finest minds have developed weapons unlike anything you've ever seen

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Looks back at the CSO, who came at just the wrong time:: CSO: Ah! No! Get away from me! ::Flings his arm back to try to ward her away::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Feels a sinking feeling in her stomach:: Knight: Understood, Admiral. I have my Chief Science Officer working on a plan at the moment. We will attempt to leave the same way we were brought here. How long exactly Admiral?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::enters his command code and enters the lab::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Steps back confused.::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Until they breach your dimension?  Months at best Captain. We'll do all we can here

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::starts the surgery on the probe::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Breathing rapidly and staring at the CSO in horror:: CSO: Back! Further! Just go!

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: Captain, I doubt very strongly that we'll meet again.  Now you better get going if you're going to catch that ride back home

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Quietly but with force.:: OPS:  Lieutenant, please calm yourself.  Perhaps it would be best if you took your break now.

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
OPS: Cat got your tongue sir?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She stands up from behind her desk:: Knight: Good luck, Admiral.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CTO:  Ensign, if you would please, work on the weapons signatures.

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
::he reaches out and grasps her hand in a firm shake:: CO: To you as well Captain!  Good luck

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
;:begins to work on the weapon signature::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
CO: You're free to go and I'd head out at high warp if I was you

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
*CSO*:Probe is loaded and ready for launch. 

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Ignores the CTO and, oddly enough taking the CSO's advice, stands up and briskly walks--with a wide berth around the CSO, mind--to the TL::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She shakes firmly:: Knight: I was planning on it, sir. ::She exits her Ready Room:: OPS: Lieutenant, transport Admiral Knight back to ES 217.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Closes her eyes and sighs as he leaves the bridge, not watching.::

Host RAdm_Knight_2 says:
ACTION: Knight disappears in a shimmer and the Hayden is on her own again

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Practically jumps into the TL, but not before shouting back to the CO:: CO: No!

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::Heads back to the bridge and takes his station again::

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: OPS: Excuse me Lieutenant? ::She looks curiously towards the CSO:: CSO: May I inquire what has happened, Lieutenant?

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Does not look at Verradi.::  CO:  Sir, our time is limited.  Do we have permission to leave?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She walks towards her chair:: FCO: Take us towards the location of the energy source, Warp 9. ::She nods to the CSO::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  I have no idea sir.  He just... he appears to be sick.  Perhaps a stomach flu.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Had, in a stroke of immense luck, left his personnel file available for all to see. Meanwhile...:: TL: Anywhere but here--take me to some airlock or something.

Host JimS says:
COM: Hayden:  Captain, Take care of these monsters if we can't!  Good sailing!

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
COM: Knight: Good luck, Admiral. ::She feels the Hayden start to race away::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
CO:  Monsters?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: Space Dragons?

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: It is a long story, Lieutenant. I will explain it once we are back home.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::jumps from his station and heads for engineering::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Nods::  CO:  ETA one hour to our original location.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She sends for a medic to attend to Lieutenant Verradi, wherever he may have went:: CSO: Understood, Lieutenant. Do you believe the energy will be enough to get us back?

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Promptly arrives at the nearest airlock and stares at it contemplatively as he walks out of the TL:: Self: Oh this would be so damn -easy-. ::Laughs to himself very uncomfortably::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Goes back to her station.::  *CEO*:  It appears the probe is not needed at the moment, but getting us home will be.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
<edit out leaving bridge line>

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Captain I don't want to push the engines like this for long.....

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Pulls up the data.::  CO:  Unknown at the moment.  At a... guess, no.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: We will push them until we reach our destination, Ensign. ::She pauses:: CSO: We will have to hope for the best then, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<Medical Officer> ::Glad for something to do again, she promptly asks the computer for some help on Verradi's location. Upon succeeding, she makes her way to the airlock where Verradi is contemplating... things::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Captain I can only maintain this speed for 15 minuets then the engines will automatically shut down.

CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Our ETA is 5 minutes, Ensign. Relax. ::She watches the viewscreen::

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Begins to runs some scenarios through the computer.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::monitors warp core pressure::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<aOPS> ::Takes the seat vacated by ol' Verradi and proceeds to skim over Verradi's record since it's there and...:: All: Oh my!

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Hearing the captain turns around with a raised brow.  One hour to five minutes, in the badlands... shakes her head and lets them do their job.::

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CO: I hope things return to normal.

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Turns to look at aOPS curiously::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
<aOPS> ::Turns back towards the CSO:: CSO: I never knew you and Lieutenant Verradi were married. That definitely explains the relationship you two have. ::Chuckles and goes back to his duties::

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  As the Hayden approaches the area, the pulse begins to grow more and more powerful, and just in the nick of time...the Hayden is enveloped

CSO_SoTsoh says:
:: Both brows shoot up at that news.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::says to him self:: Self: Yeah are you going to help with the refit Captain of the Warp Engines?

CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::laughs::
