	“Arrival”

Host Jamie_O says:
<<<<<Resume SUPERIOR Mission>>>>>
Host CO_Richmond says:
::sat back in the Big Chair [tm], drumming his fingers on the armrest::
XO_Williams says:
::walks over to the Ayidee's station::
CTO_Ayidee says:
::pouring over information from sensors::  XO: Nothing yet, sir.
Host CNS-Randi says:
::sitting there wondering how much Richmond understands about young people, Starfleet or not::
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::looks over at Jack:: Jack: Well, now what?
CMO_Prin says:
::watching from the bridge....still confounded.....happy...and sad all at the same time.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
::sitting in the runabout, drumming his fingers, hoping Christine doesn't do what he thinks she is going to do::
XO_Williams says:
CTO: Scan the quantum signature, since they’re from the future there should be a phase variance at the quantum level
Host CO_Richmond says:
::stands up:: COM: Ryerson: Lieutenant, I am ordering you back into that nebula.  You are to return to your space immediately.
CNS-Randi says:
::takes a breath, then lets it out slowly, then just shakes her head::
XO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, before they return, we may need there help in sealing the fissure
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Yes sir, but what will that accomplish?  I don't understand.  ::scans the quantum signature::
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@*COM* Richmond: It's not that simple sir....
Host CO_Richmond says:
::turns to Williams:: XO: What do you mean?
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO/CO: Or maybe after they return.  Work from both sides, perhaps.
Host CO_Richmond says:
CTO: Explain.
XO_Williams says:
CTO: If my hunch is correct we can use an implosion tuned to their signature combined with the one with our signature to collapse the fissure.
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Hold on one moment, please, Lieutenant.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::wonders why Jack has that looks on his face again::
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@::at the helm....having herself a good old time::
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@::makes a face at Chrissy::
CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: If we have an idea to close it from one side, it should work from both.  We may need the assistance to close it, and working together will be best I think.  ::nods at Richmond’s answer::
XO_Williams says:
CO: The idea is to pull it closed from both sides at the same time.
Host CO_Richmond says:
XO/CTO: Do it.  Let me know what I need to say to the runabout.
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Ryerson: You don't watch it. I've learned how to make your face freeze in that position
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@Jack: Two can play at that game . ::stands up and whacks Jack across the shoulder::
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Will that plan close it permanently or just this instance?
XO_Williams says:
CO: They need to prepare a quantum torpedo to implode at there times resonance frequency.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@Katie: Have I reminded you lately how much like your father you are? only more annoying....
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Skyler: Oh that's fun....my husband and my uncle fighting.  Just what I NEED!
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Ryerson: Only about 10 times.
XO_Williams says:
CTO: I am not sure it will be permanent, but it should be fairly difficult to re-open
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Sir, playing with quantum resonance frequency is dangerous.  I've heard reports of that causing interspacial rifts.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::smiles at Katie:: McDonald: You tell him, sis.
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: We can do it, but we will have to be careful.
Host CO_Richmond says:
XO/CTO: Take every precaution.
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Skyler: You bet I will.
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Lieutenant, we think we may have a solution to our mutual problem.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Shoot.
XO_Williams says:
CTO: We will not have to play, they have the frequency to begin with and we have ours, we can either trade torpedoes, or fire them to cross inside the rift
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@::glares sideways at the two young women::
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Aye sir, I wasn't questioning, just making sure we take the precautions.
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: My first officer believes that firing quantum torpedoes into the rift may seal it behind you.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@McDonald: Katie, why can't we talk to CJ and Caleb?
XO_Williams says:
CO: We need to find out if they have quantum torps on board, and if they have the expertise to recalibrate it to implode
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Standby one sir?
XO_Williams says:
CTO: <w> and just so you don't have to ask its sir.  :smiles and winks::
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
::Looks over at Katie and Chrissy:: You can't see them because they are still CHILDREN!
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::pokes Katie:: McDonald: Hey, wake up, sis!
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Ryerson: Well geeze.....yell at us why don't ya....::rolls her eyes::
Ltjg_Skyler says:
::glares at her uncle::
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Skyler:  I'm plenty awake.  I'm flying, aren't I?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* would it be possible to meet sir?
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
::makes a face at her uncle::
XO_Williams says:
CO: Trading torps would be the safest approach, we can target our event horizon with there torp, and they can target there event horizon with our torp.
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: No.  We have contaminated the time line quite enough for one day.  I, for one, dislike the idea of Temporal Affairs on board my vessel, and having had you here will only make that process a lot more painful for both of us.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::thinks to herself:: If she's such a great pilot, why are we stuck here.
Host CO_Richmond says:
XO: So long as you are sure this will work, Commander.
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Didn't this phenomena come for a reason last time?  Something with an alternate universe?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Very well then, sir, but certain "Conditions" must be met before our return.
XO_Williams says:
CO: I would like my son here, but without him, the theory seems sound
CNS-Randi says:
::raises her eyebrow at Ryerson's statement::
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Er, Lieutenant, if anyone has made the mistake of falling into this timeline, it's you.  I hardly think you're in a position to dictate terms.
XO_Williams says:
CTO: Yes, but we have found no evidence of there activity this time, it is possible they may have weakened the fabric of time with there earlier attempts at transport.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* This is not a game, sir.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@Ryerson: What are you doing Jack?
CNS-Randi says:
CO: Perhaps a little softer might make a difference sir...
CTO_Ayidee says:
XO: Sir, we haven't looked.  Last time you didn't find evidence until you went through if I read the reports correctly.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@Chrissy: Making sure that this didn't happen
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Lieutenant Ryerson, are you inferring that I find this situation to my amusment?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Absolutely not, however there are things that need to be done to make sure that my time is not disrupted either
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Matters, the remedy to which I am fully conversant, Junior Lieutenant Ryerson.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* That is FULL Lieutenant, SIR
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: My apologies.
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::wonders why Katie is so quiet::
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Ryerson: Will you two stop your arguing?
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@::Realizes that her uncle's being nosey and mentally gives him a jab::
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Getting back to business, according to my calculations and observation, this is the exact same spot where 22 years ago, an Excelsior Class Starship Huron traversed through after being held for 25 years in suspension. Am I correct sir?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@::glares at Katie::
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: That is correct.
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@::smiles her sweetest smile at her uncle::
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* According to sensor logs of the Cuyahoga, this ship passed through a pocket of resonant temporal energy just seconds before we ended up here. Energy that I am led to believe was caused by YOUR encounter with the other Starship Huron.
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: I beg your pardon?
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@McDonald: Katie, do you think that Admiral Richmond really caused this?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Inadvertently, of course. However, there are details that you do not need to know that helped to contribute to this
Ens_Katie_McDonald says:
@Skyler: I have no idea who caused this...but it needs to be fixed either way!
Host CO_Richmond says:
COM: Ryerson: Understood, Lieutenant.  What can we do to resolve it?
XO_Williams says:
::looks over at Richmond, as if to ask permission to speak::
Host CO_Richmond says:
CMO: Doctor, your thoughts?
Host CO_Richmond says:
XO: What is it, Commander?
CNS-Randi says:
::about time he started listening to them::
CMO_Prin says:
CO: Sir, I think the temporal prime directive is clear on the matter
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* Well, the phenomenon that caused this had intense Gamma Radiation, which amplified the effect on the area and the Nebula reappeared.
Host CO_Richmond says:
::nods::
Host CO_Richmond says:
OPS: Lieutenant, what is the status of the runabout?
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@McDonald: Katie, I'm tired. Can you turn this ship around and take us home? I miss my CJ.
CTO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I don't ever recall any incantation of the Prime Directive being "clear" on any matter.
XO_Williams says:
CO: We can sit here and argue causality all day, what we need to do is close the rift, we can do it with them on this side of the rift or them safely back in there own time
CNS-Randi says:
::snickers at Tio reply, then tries to wipe the smile from her face::
Host CO_Richmond says:
XO: Which is safer?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@ COM *Richmond* It is also my belief that a Tri Cobalt Warhead with Gamma Band Radiation may be of use.
Host CO_Richmond says:
::turns sharply to Ayidee:: CTO: Have we got one of those?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Richmond* you will have to prepare a probe with the Radiation and Frequency. We could simulate this, but we do not have the processing power on our Shipboard Computer to make sure it is adequate.
XO_Williams says:
COM *Ryerson* That much fire power, would be overkill, and would risk shredding the fabric of time beyond repair
Host CO_Richmond says:
::turns grimly back to Ryerson:: COM: Ryerson: Is Commander Williams correct, Lieutenant?
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@*XO* the Tri Cobalt Device must be at minimal Yield, It's the chemical reaction to the Gamme Radiation and the nebula itself that is important sir
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@Ryerson: Jack, isn't that awfully dangerous?
CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: No sir, and even if we did, I'd have to question its usefulness in this situation.  Low yield or not.
XO_Williams says:
COM*Ryerson* Tell me you have a doctorate in astrophysics or temporal mechanics, Lieutenant
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@Chrissy: since when has anyone in this family NOT been Dangerous? ::grins::
Host CO_Richmond says:
::scratches his temple:: COM: Ryerson: Er, Lieutenant, my crew's reaction to your suggestion is not entirely convincing me.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
@COM *Williams* as a matter of fact, I have a Masters in Astrophysics
Ltjg_Skyler says:
@::starts to laugh:: Ryerson: True Jack...
XO_Williams says:
OPS: Run their simulation through the computer
CTO_Ayidee says:
Self: In our time that doesn't make you a temporal expert.
Host Lt_Ryerson says:
