Mission Summary
The XO and the CSO are still trapped in this strange realm that they’ve found themselves in… but as it turns out, the crew of the Vimy Ridge are also here, as the XO and the CO of that vessel discuss certain matters of importance – the crew of the Huron doesn’t know this, however. They are hard at work trying to bring back the XO and the CSO. They have, however, discovered a mute Vulcan, who seems to have been a passenger on the Vimy Ridge when it was incapacitated by the energy anomaly… furthermore, they seem to have identified a subspace portal of some sort that may lead to this interdimensional realm… what answers can “Pete” provide the Huron crew? Will they be able to save the XO and the CSO?

<<<<<RESUME Mission>>>>>

OPS_Barnes says:
::In Science Lab 1, continuing to try and isolate Cmdr Knight's Com Badge Signal::

CSO_Woo says:
@::sitting cautiously as the servants rush about attending to his and the Commander's needs::

XO_Knight says:
@::still sitting in a chair while a servant tends to him::  CSO:  Eric, we really need to find a way out of here.

EO_Hansen says:
::working silently in engineering, not in a very good mood::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Returning to the Bridge from Torpedo Control.::

Host CNS-McIntyre says:
::sitting in her chair in her office staring into space, wondering how the heck she is going to handle having a twin::

Randy says:
::sitting on his bed in the brig, wondering how the heck he is going to handle a twin::

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: A group of servants return, not with the Commanders' uniforms, but more local attire

CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::on the bridge sitting in her chair saying a silent prayer for the away team::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::sees the other servants arrive::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: I agree, sir, but the ball's in their court right now... they need to cooperate, not us, before we can get answers... ::watches as the servants comes back with clothing::

Randy says:
::how can they not know he is their counselor?::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Captain, Torpedo control is secure.  Now, about our... guest.  What do we know about him so far?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::how dare he think he is the counselor of this ship::

CSO_Woo says:
@::leans forward to take the clothes - and grabs onto a servant:: Servant: Excuse me, but we REALLY need to see your leader... Lord Oaf... or Minister Jovia. PLEASE.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: I have Randi handling that Tio, but I haven't had a report from her yet.

Host XO_Knight says:
CSO:  I agree with you Eric.  It's just that this is just taking too long.  I'd like to see if we can get any answers from these people.

OPS_Barnes says:
Self: Ugh, this is going nowhere... ::rubs temples, and sits back in his chair::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Is it possible that this, Randy, is telling the truth?  Perhaps it's not a plot, perhaps it's a clue.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Servant:  As much as we are enjoying this, we'd really like to speak to someone in charge.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::tries to go over in her mind what happened before the flash of light::

Randy says:
::tries to remember what happened just before he saw her::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: I'm concerned, sir, about something Jovia said... he said that this Oaf fellow was looking for an heir... perhaps that is why he is plucking people out of normal space and into this realm of his?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: He does seem to be the genuine article Commander, but we need to know just where he came from.

OPS_Barnes says:
::boosts power to external sensor array, and tries a new frequency::

Host Jamie_O says:
<Servant>@XO: Follow me to the grand hall, there will be a dinner held in your honor

EO_Hansen says:
::moves over to another console and keeps working::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::then she remembers, she seemed to have a feeling of being drawn somewhere, but mentally she resisted it::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: A dinner? This is - Okay, fine. Servant: Will we have our answers at the dinner?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::gets up and follows the servant::  CSO:  Maybe now we'll get some answers.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*: Captain, you have a moment?

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Cmdr Knight, please respond... ::hears static in return:: Self: Blast!

CSO_Woo says:
@::slaps on his clothes and follows the XO following the servant:: XO: Or maybe they'll just drug us...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*CNS*: Of course Randi, go ahead.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Exactly, perhaps he's the first sign of a Quantum Universe Fissure opening, or something similar.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Ma'am, I have just remembered something... I had a feeling that I was being drawn somewhere but was intent on getting back to the bridge.  Perhaps that is why I was left behind.

Host Jamie_O says:
@ACTION: the servants do not speak, but part the way for the CSO and XO, leaving a single, very attractive female attendee, in the middle. It is obvious that she holds a position of authority

Host XO_Knight says:
@::quickly looks at Eric::  CSO:  They better hope not.

Randy says:
::gets up and begins to pace his cell::

CSO_Woo says:
@::continues forward towards the female::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*CNS*: Interesting Randi, check with your counterpart and see if he had a similar reaction.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::notices the female and approaches her::  Female:  Can you tell me what we are doing here?

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Barnes to Captain Sheridan.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Yes Ma’am, I am on my way now... the few talks we have had, have not be very productive.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS*: Go ahead Ensign.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: It may help to bring them both here.  I'm not really sure the Brig is an appropriate place to send him without reason.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::whispers to Eric::  CSO:  All I'm sensing from them right now is honesty actually.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*CNS*:Randi, keep me informed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::leaving her office, she walks down the corridor and takes the TL to the brig deck::

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: If they were that honest, they would give us the answers we'd want, instead of keeping them from us.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Captain, I want to try boosting the power to communications past their recommended maximums. I don't have enough signal strength as is to locate Commander Knight.

CNS-McIntyre says:
*CO*:  Aye Ma’am.

Host Ola says:
@XO: I am Ola, I am the first minister to the Great Lord Oof. Jovia, our Minister of the Argans has said many great things about you

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  I didn't say they were forthright....just honest.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Head down there Tio and give Randi some moral support and the two of you can evaluate the situation.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  Thank you first minister.  Is there any way you can tell me what we are doing here, and why?

CSO_Woo says:
@Self: Oh, its pronounced Oof... ::stands a few steps behind the XO, wondering what's going to happen::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::exiting the TL on deck seventeen, she walks to the brig, notifying the security officer she is there to see the prisoner::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Turns and heads for the Brig.::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS*: Have Ensign Hansen work on that with you. She may have some ideas.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Aye Captain, thank you. Barnes out.

Randy says:
::turns and sees Randi standing there staring at him::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::tries again to link with Randi...but nothing::

Host Ola says:
@XO: The Great Oof, has decided that it is time to choose a successor. He has become rather "bored" with attending the throne of late. One of our Travelers has gone into your Realm to look for a successor

OPS_Barnes says:
*EO*: Barnes to Ensign Hansen.

EO_Hansen says:
*OPS*:  Go ahead.

CSO_Woo says:
@Ola: Our realm? ::pauses:: Exactly what "realm" are we in?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi stands there and stares at him, then decides to speak to him mentally::

Host Ola says:
@CSO: Why, you are in the fifth realm, of course!

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  Why has this Lord Oof come into our Realm?  Why has he not chosen a successor from his own people?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::gets up and walks around the command deck pondering the situation::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Exits Turbo Lift, entering Brig.::  Javert: Lower the Forcefield, we don't need it I think.

OPS_Barnes says:
*EO*: Ensign, are you in Main Engineering? I have a plan to find our missing people I'd like to run by you.

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Randy:  Now, tell me how you came to be in our universe?~~~

EO_Hansen says:
*OPS*:  Yes, I'm in engineering.  What do you need, Ensign?

Randy says:
::he stands there and looks at her, saying nothing, waiting for her to speak::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ Randy: Seems we have a bit of a mystery to clear up.

Host Ola says:
@XO: It is the Great Oof's belief that their are Traitors within the internal Ministry, and that the Circle of power has been corrupted

OPS_Barnes says:
*EO*: Don't go anywhere, I'll be right there. ::taps comm badge, and heads out the door::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  You might could say that Tio.

CSO_Woo says:
@Ola: And that is why you are taking people to your realm, without their consent?

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Randy:  Answer me!~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks down the hallway a bit to the left, and into a TL::

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  I see....can you also tell me if the crew from the Vimy Ridge are also here in this Realm?

EO_Hansen says:
::shrugs and goes back to working on the console, not having planned to go anywhere anyway::

OPS_Barnes says:
Computer: Main Engineering. ::feels TL slide downward::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  I have found a difference between us.  He is NOT telepathic.

Host Ola says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a faint life sign in the Armory of the Vimy Ridge

Randy says:
CSN:  Telepathic?  Of course not, there is no such thing as telepathy.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: First step, let's see where you are from.  ::Pulls Tricorder.::  First we scan to see if your Quantum spin rate matches our universe.

Host Ola says:
@XO: They have been invited here as our guests.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi turns to look at Tio::  CTO:  Well, now what?

OPS_Barnes says:
::TL comes to a halt, as he steps out, and enters ME, PADD in hand::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::sees a flashing light on the tactical panel and walks over to check it out::

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  Can you take us to them?  Have they been harmed in any way?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Really?  Biologically aren't the two of you identical?  I mean, apart from the obvious differences?

CSO_Woo says:
@::recognizes that he should probably stay silent... smiles politely at Ola::

EO_Hansen says:
::looks over at OPS as he walks in and moves over to him::  OPS:  What can I do for you, Ensign?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
TO: What have we got here? ::points to the light::

Host Ola says:
@XO: I can assure you that no harm has come to them. They are on a mission from the Great Oof to track out the great corruption

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  That is what DNA says, but obviously we are not identical mentally!  ::grins smugly::

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  Please, take us to them.  I'd like to see for my own eyes.

Randy says:
CTO:  Are you trying to put me on?

Host Ola says:
<TO> CO: Not sure Cap......OPS: what do you make of it?

OPS_Barnes says:
::hands the PADD over to the EO:: EO: I've been working on modifying our communications array to locate Cmdr Knight's Com Badge signal. I think we should boost power to the comm systems to above normal, which should help me resolve the signal.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: No, I'm trying to figure out what is going on.  Radical changes in ones reality is the first clue to a Quantum fissure having opened.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
<AOPS>CO: Captain, looks like a life sign reading, in the Vimy Ridge's armory.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO: Great, then all of us can disappear right?

OPS_Barnes says:
EO: What do you think? Could they handle that power intake?

Host Ola says:
@XO: You will be brought to the Great Cap'n Pred, He wears a costume much like the one that you had before you came to us

Randy says:
CTO:  What is this nonsense you are spouting?  There is only one universe.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  Thank you.  Can we go there now?

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Not if we catch it in time.  That is, if I'm right.

EO_Hansen says:
::takes the PADD and looks over it::  OPS:  It might work.  Either that or blow our comm system.  ::shrugs a bit::  But why not try it?  We all have two legs.  We can walk from point A to point B if need be.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
AOPS: Can you identify?

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  Maybe now we're getting somewhere.

Host Ola says:
@XO: well, we would have been there by now if you weren't asking too many questions

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: We'll see, sir...

OPS_Barnes says:
::smiles:: EO: Okay then, I'll notify the Captain.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: No, Starfleet has identified hundreds of thousands of universes, all existing in parallel.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Ola:  My apologies....it's just in our nature.

EO_Hansen says:
::nods::  OPS:  Let me know if you need anything else.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Barnes to Captain Sheridan.

Randy says:
CTO:  You know me, is all this a joke?  I can't believe you are keeping me here, with that imposter ::pointing to Randi:: out there!

OPS_Barnes says:
EO: Thanks for your help.

Host Ola says:
@XO: Let us go to the Great Cap'n Pred and the Great Oof! they are expecting you!

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy/ CNS: But it appears my first theory is incorrect, although it's not the only one yet.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS*: Sheridan here, go ahead.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Self:  It's about time.  ::follows Ola::

EO_Hansen says:
::hands the PADD back to him and moves back over to her console::

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: I've lowered the forcefield, you are no longer a prisoner, but you must realize, there is still something wrong here.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi circles him, eying him up and down::

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Captain, I've talked to Ens. Hansen in Main Engineering. She thinks that it might work. Worst case scenario... we blow the comm array. Should I proceed?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  You are not releasing him from the brig are you? ::instantly alert::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;turns back to AOPS and taps his shoulder:: AOPS: See if you can get a lock on that life sign.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::looks over at Eric::  CSO:  How you holding up Eric?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::quickly she does a mental scan of Tio::

Host Ola says:
@ACTION: the Away Team is brought into a Grand Dining Room with a huge round Table. a man in very elegant clothing, seated next to a Starfleet Officer is at the head of the table

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: What law has he broken?  What threat has he made?

Host Ola says:
<AOPS>Aye Captain

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: I'm fine, I think... but... ::steps into the Grand Dining Room:: ... we'll see

Host XO_Knight says:
@::walks into the room and looks around::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Well I suggest you talk to the Captain first, he cannot leave here without her expression order.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS*: Let's hold on that Ensign, you are needed on the bridge. We have detected a life sign on the Vimy Ridge.

Host Ola says:
ACTION: a Vulcan Male in SFMC Uniform is beamed to Sickbay

Host XO_Knight says:
@::spotting someone in a SF uniform, he heads directly toward him::

Randy says:
::hears the CTO and turns to grin mockingly at Randi::

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Aye, ma'am. I'm on my way. ::taps comm badge again, shrugs to EO, and heads back to the TL::

CSO_Woo says:
@::Follows the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
AOPS: Did we get him?

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: We seem to have crossed realities.  What were you doing, before you met Randi here?

Host Ola says:
<AMO>*CO* Sickbay to Bridge

OPS_Barnes says:
::enters the TL:: Computer: Bridge.

Host Ola says:
<AOPS> CO: aye

OPS_Barnes says:
::feels the TL slide upward::

Randy says:
CTO:  I was on my ship when a great light shown and then I saw her ::pointing to Randi::

Host Ola says:
@ACTION: the Man in Uniform stands to greet the XO

Host XO_Knight says:
@SF Officer:  I am Cmdr. Knight from the USS Huron.  Are you from the Vimy Ridge?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*AMO*: Go ahead sickbay.

Host Ola says:
<AMO> CO: Ma'am....we've recovered....a Marine....

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: What was your mission?  Did it involve a ship in distress?

OPS_Barnes says:
::steps out onto the Bridge, and walks downward to his station, relieving AOPS officer::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*AMO*: Repeat that please.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: I am Captain Americus Pred of the U.S.S. Vimy Ridge

CSO_Woo says:
@Pred: Are you alright, captain?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  Captain, can you tell us what is going on here?

Randy says:
CTO:  Yes, the Huron was answering a distress signal.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@CSO. yes, fine. haven't been better in years.  XO: we've been tasked with an uneasy situation here

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: OK, so our missions were similar.  Just to make sure, was it from the USS Vimy Ridge?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  I can see that.  Exactly what task might that be?

Randy says:
CTO:  Yes is was... you know that!

Host Capt_Pred says:
<AMO> *CO* there is a Starfleet Marine in Sickbay.....

Randy says:
CTO:  Has everyone gone crazy?

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: Unfortunately, right now we can't assume anything.  If this was your reality, would anyone on this ship mistake you for Randi?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*AMO*: I thought that's what you said. I'm on my way down.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: Ensign, I know this is a big request, but you have the bridge.

Randy says:
CTO:  I don't understand it Tio.  But, would you do me a favor?  Please see that Baby is all right?  I am so worried about her.

EO_Hansen says:
::pushes a strand of hair out of her face and works quietly on the console::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::hearing Baby's name, Randi turns and stares at him::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: What about you?  Putting aside the initial reaction that he's an imposter, what can you sense from him?  He's telling the truth as far as he sees it, right?

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks wide-eyed for a second, then wipes it off his face:: CO: ...Uh, Aye ma'am.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: Simple really. We have to find out who is corrupting the circle of power, and fast.......if this realm collapses, than ours will as well.....our Science team has verified this....

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
OPS: I'll be in sickbay.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Yes he is Tio.  I can read him mentally, but he cannot read me.

OPS_Barnes says:
CO: Yes, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;heads for the turbolift::TL: Sickbay

OPS_Barnes says:
::steps up from OPS console, and settles into the center chair::

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  And just how did you all figure this out?

Randy says:
CTO:  Is Baby all right? ::almost in a panic now::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ Randy: The only explanation then is that Randy is from another universe, but one that isn't just a quantum reality.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::having pity on Randy she answers him::  Randy:  Baby is fine.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: Baby is fine, don't worry about that.

CSO_Woo says:
@Pred: More importantly, how will corruption in the circle of power cause the collapse of his realm, captain?

CNS-McIntyre says:
Randy:  You can't be all bad if you have "another" Baby as well.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::exits the lift and heads for sickbay and enters::AMO: Where is our guest nurse?

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: Simple really.  These people are on the brink of Civil War. All you have seen is the Grand Palace. Other factions are at work presently to destabilize the realm, so that they can use the Gateway for their own purposes.....

CEO_Spencer says:
::enters Main Engineering::

Randy says:
CNS:  This is all so hard to believe.  Do you think ::hesitating:: that you could bring her down here?

CEO_Spencer says:
::walks up to a working ensign Hanson::

Host Capt_Pred says:
<AMO> CO: over here....

EO_Hansen says:
::glances over at the CEO as he walks in and goes back to her work, not giving him much attention::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  What do you think?  Would it be all right?  Baby would know if she knew him or not.

CEO_Spencer says:
Hanson: Huron status report

Host XO_Knight says:
@::whispers to Eric::  CSO:  Eric, I am sensing the truth from him.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy/ CNS: Why don't we head up to my office?  I don't think the Brig is warranted.  We can stop at your quarters on the way up.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::walks towards a figure on a biobed:: AMO: What's his condition?

CSO_Woo says:
@XO: Perhaps we should seat ourselves, lest we commit any diplomatic gaffe, sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods to Tio::

Host Capt_Pred says:
<AMO> CO: Well, he was in anaphylactic shock when we got to him.....

EO_Hansen says:
::doesn't look up::  CEO:  Everything is fine.  Ensign Barnes may contact engineering and have us boost our comm system as far as it will go, but that plan is on the back burner for the time being.

Randy says:
::nods to Tio, then begins to chuckle::  CNS:  You know, having a twin is becoming quite disconcerting.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  So what are you doing about it, and how can we help?

CNS-McIntyre says:
Randy:  Yes it is ::grinning back at him::

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: acknowledged

CNS-McIntyre says:
::still not trusting him, Randi walks behind Tio and Randy::

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: may I see you in my office for a second

Host XO_Knight says:
@CSO:  Just stay right next to me.  ::takes a seat beside Pred::

CTO_Ayidee says:
*CO*: I'm moving the discussion from the Brig to my office, just to keep you informed.  So far there are minor differences between the two Randy's, but no clues as to what's causing all this.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
AMO: Is he stabilized now?

CSO_Woo says:
@::sits next to the Commander - pans the room with his eyes::

CEO_Spencer says:
:: walks into the engineering office located off the side of ME::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: Well, we can't really do anything, as it is a direct violation of General Order 1, but we are using Marine Intelligence to assist in finding out who the Traitors are.

EO_Hansen says:
::finishes up what she's doing and follows Spencer into his office::

Host Capt_Pred says:
<AMO> ::nods:: CO: cut he will need to rest for a bit

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
AMO: Is he up to a few questions?

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Arrives at the CNS quarters.::  CNS/ Randy: Shall we see to Baby?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  But why are you getting involved in someone's Civil war?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CNS:  Yes lets, why don't we have Randy enter his code and see if it works?

Randy says:
::looking at her, he enters his code and watches as the doors open::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: The Faction that is wishing to overthrown the Government is a known Terrorist network.....

CEO_Spencer says:
Stands Inside the office next to his new desk which hasn't been personalized at all::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::Randi hangs back, knowing that Baby is going to jump on whoever enters her quarters, claws bared::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I'm thinking that his dimension is very similar to ours, this is no big surprise.

EO_Hansen says:
::looks over at Spencer::  CEO:  What can I do for you?

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Oof> Ahh, Commander! It is good to have you amongst our invited guests!

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
:;moves closer to the bed::Vulcan: I'm Captain Sheridan of the USS Huron, may I know who you are sir?

Host Capt_Pred says:
ACTION: Baby sits between the two Randi/y's, acting somewhat confused

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  And you don't believe that they will retaliate if they can?  Just how will this affect our Realm again?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  See Tio, she does not know what to think!

CSO_Woo says:
@::shifts a bit at the sound of someone unfamiliar... someone else at the table::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: Simple really....if they can use the same technology as that which brought us here, there will be grave circumstances.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::acknowledges Oof::  Oof:  Thank you Lord Oof.

OPS_Barnes says:
::taps a few buttons on armrest display, assuring himself that all is well aboard ship::

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~Baby:  Is confusing isn't it love?~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS: I think this proves that he is who he appears to be.  But the question remains, how did he get here?  And did Commanders Knight and Woo go to where he came from?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  That is a big "if".  What makes you think they will affect our Realm?

Host Capt_Pred says:
ACTION: the Vulcan Male does not answer. He uses hand gestures.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::suddenly Baby leaps up and lands on Randi's shoulders, mewing loudly::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  At this point, I think that is a logical assumption.

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: Ensign, I have full... you are a competent engineer, and I realize that.  I would like to see you function in that role.  If you are offended by any criticism I give you then I apologize, but when I see something that I feel could be better then I will point it out.  However, the fact remains that you have a good track record as an engineer, good class standing, everything.  

Randy says:
::Randy sees Baby go to Randi and tears come to his eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
AMO: I don't think he speaks. Think he may be telepathic?

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: I would like to see you continue to operate in such a capacity.

CSO_Woo says:
@::watches as the XO just turns right back at Pred - he turns towards Oof; nods his head in acknowledgement:: Oof: Lord Oof. ::smiles:: I must say, you are truly generous and hospitable.

CEO_Spencer says:
EO:  I will go work as Bridge liaison this shift.  ME is yours.  Please do your best.

Host Capt_Pred says:
<AMO> CO: Trying to determine that now Captain

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: Don't worry about that, Baby's like the rest of us.  We'll get you home, I promise.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::knowing how hurt she would be, she walks over to Randy, takes Baby from around her neck and places her on his neck::  Randy:  You obviously love Baby as much as I, but surely this proves to you, you are not on the right ship.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
~~~Vulcan: Can you understand me? I'm Captain Sheridan. Who are you?~~~

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: also I would like you to be Dept.  XO  let me know of your decision to accept.

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Oof> @::nods back at the CSO and raises a glass:: Tonight we toast our honored Guests!

CEO_Spencer says:
EO:  we will share this office if you do

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~CSO:  Eric, thank you for entertaining Lord Oof.  I'd just like to get as much information as I can from Pred.~~~

EO_Hansen says:
CEO:  I'll take that into consideration.

Randy says:
::Randy smiles and scratches Baby behind her ears::  CTO:  Yes, this proves I am not in the right place.  So what do we do now?

CEO_Spencer says:
:: remains expressionless::

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Vulcan> ~~~CO: Captain, I am "Pete" of Roughneck Alpha....~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: Find out where the bridge between the worlds is.

EO_Hansen says:
CEO:  Is there anything else you need?

Randy says:
CTO:  Well all I can tell you is I was on the crew deck, checking out quarters.  Does that help any?

CEO_Spencer says:
EO: Nothing further... but be prepared to boost the COM signal

CSO_Woo says:
@::jumps up slightly in his seat as he hears the XO's voice booming suddenly - he turns around and sees him continue to talk with Pred:: Oof: Surely, we are not deserving of this great... honor you have bestowed upon us...? ::raises his voice at the end just a tiny bit to leave it open::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  And that was where I was as well Tio.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy: Perhaps it does.

CEO_Spencer says:
:: Picks up a padd on the desk and exits the room ::

EO_Hansen says:
::nods and turns, walking out of his office, going back to her work::

Host XO_Knight says:
@::still waiting for Pred's response::

CEO_Spencer says:
:: leaves Main Engineering ::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: What if the Argans applied for Federation Membership?

CTO_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Permission to head back to the Vimy Ridge, Captain?  We need answers, and I think we've found what we can here.

CEO_Spencer says:
:: enters a turbo lift::

EO_Hansen says:
::mutters quietly to herself and continues working::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
~~~Pete: What are you doing on the Vimy Ridge?~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  I don't follow.  They aren't even in the same Realm as we are, why would they apply for membership?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*CTO*: Granted Commander, but I think you should come by sickbay first. There's someone here you should see.

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Pete>~~~CO: We were being transported to a surveillance post when this happened. Great guests, excellent hospitality. ate Olives....allergic to olives~~~

CEO_Spencer says:
Computer: bridge

CTO_Ayidee says:
*CO*: Aye ma'am.  Be right there.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: I know this, you know this, but they don't appear to understand.......They are a peaceful people, but they....don't take the word no very easily........they try to convince you to say yes

CTO_Ayidee says:
CNS/ Randy: The two of you should come as well.  If the gateway reopens, perhaps having both of you will be of great benefit.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
~~~Pete: Can you tell me what did happen?~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Aye Sir.

CSO_Woo says:
@Oof: I must say, Your Excellency, your realm is truly astounding, quite different from the realm we come from. ::smiles::

Randy says:
CTO:  You bet... for some odd reason, I feel better when she is around, does that make sense?

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Pete>~~~CO: Bright Light. Pulled into another place. Big Party, ate some Olives, and got sick. Blacked out....~~~

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  Well I'm not easily convinced.  If they are such a peaceful people, why have they brought us here to help fight their Civil war?

CNS-McIntyre says:
~~~CTO:  Tio, he is right, I am more at ease when he is near me.~~~

CEO_Spencer says:
:: Exits onto the bridge,...  Looks around walks past TAC and takes his position at the engineering console ::

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Oof> CSO: Why thank you Commander! Do you think the Red one will think the same?

OPS_Barnes says:
:: notices CEO come out of TL from the center chair, and acknowledges him with a nod::

CTO_Ayidee says:
*OPS*: We'll be heading back to the Vimy Ridge soon.  See what kind of scans you can find to track possible dimensional jumps.  Whatever you can think of.  If we get pulled where ever the Commanders went, it would help to know where we went.

OPS_Barnes says:
*CTO*: Aye, sir.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Randy/ CNS: Familiarity breeds comfort, so I suppose it does make sense.  ::Shrugs.::  You're the Counselors, though.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: that is exactly it. They are too much of a peaceful people. It is against their beliefs to bear arms and fight.......But there are others of this Realm who do not share the same ordeals as these people do...

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::rubs her temple a bit:: ~~~Pete: Are you saying that you went somewhere off the ship and then woke up back on the Vimy Ridge?~~~

CEO_Spencer says:
:: does a slight bow blink to the ops officer::

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Enters TL. ::  TL: Sickbay.

CSO_Woo says:
@Oof: The red one... Commander Knight, you mean? ::gestures toward the XO - raises his eyebrow slightly at the odd question:: Yes, we have been quite amazed by the world you have cultivated here, and, of course, the generosity of your people. Tell me - I'm a scientist, you see - what exactly is this realm that we are in?

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Pete>~~CO: They couldn't help me. They know that you are here, they knew I would die~~~

CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks in behind Tio with Randy still where she can keep him under cover::

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  You still have not convinced me that it is right for us being here.

OPS_Barnes says:
AOPS: Ensign, please run scan pattern Vimy Ridge-1 in the memory bank, and have the scan results ready for when the AT beams over.

CTO_Ayidee says:
::Exits TL and enters Sickbay.::  CO: You wanted me to see someone, ma'am?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
~~~Pete: Who are they and why are you going to die?~~~

OPS_Barnes says:
<AOPS> OPS: Aye, sir.

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Pete> ~~~CO: I was not supposed to eat what I did..........~~~

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Over here Commander. ::motions to Tio to approach::

OPS_Barnes says:
::stands up and faces CEO:: CEO: Ensign, please make sure that we have sufficient power to recall the AT in a hurry, should the need arise.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
~~~Pete: Ah yes, your allergy to the olives.~~~

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Yes Captain.  Where did he come from?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  Don't you think we should be finding a way BACK to our Realm?  Perhaps there is some way we could help from our own Realm.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::turns to Tio::CTO: This is Pete, from the Vimy Ridge. He was a passenger when all this happened.

EO_Hansen says:
::works silently, thinking about Spencer's offer, though she was still unimpressed with him::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: It's not much of a task compared to a request. That, and my people are out looking for the people who aren't supposed to be doing what they are doing......the Marines were aboard....

CNS-McIntyre says:
::listens to Tio and the Captain::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: But there were no other life signs.  I checked the sensor readings.

OPS_Barnes says:
::walks over to OPS console, looking over the shoulder of AOPS and examines the scan results::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Pete said he was being transported to a surveillance outpost. Is there anyway we can verify that?

Host XO_Knight says:
@::looks directly into Pred's eyes::  Pred:  I'd like to know exactly what information these people have given you to bring us into their war.

CEO_Spencer says:
OPS:  They should take transporter pattern enhancers with them then 

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Tio, that's the mystery we have to solve. Pete here, seems to have left the ship for some period of time and then been returned.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: We can try.  Computer: What was the Vimy Ridges Orders before it's distress call?

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Bridge to Captain Sheridan, I think we may have found something.

CEO_Spencer says:
OPS:  that way we can get a better lock

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: It's not I who wants to be here. Their Idiot Colonel brought the Marines to do Intelligence Duty. As a result, MY people are out looking for that Buffoon!

CSO_Woo says:
@::smiles politely and awkwardly when he realizes that an answer may not be forthcoming - reaches over and pours a glass of water - or whatever it is - and takes a sip::

OPS_Barnes says:
::turns around and nods:: CEO: Coordinate with OPS to make sure they are distributed.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
::moves to the end of the bed::*OPS*: Go ahead Ensign.

CTO_Ayidee says:
Pete: What happened to get you back?  ::Unaware Pete is mute.::

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: In the mean time, I am using this opportunity to do some evaluation and some intelligence of my own, but this Gate is a closely guarded secret

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Captain, I had the on-duty OPS officer run a few scans at the request of Commander Ayidee. I believe we are picking up what looks like a dimensional gateway.

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  Look, I don't mean to be so blunt, but it looks like you are enjoying yourselves here.  While these marines have been gone, have you been trying to find a way back to our own Realm?

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS: Well done Ensign. Is there anyway to know if that gateway is accessible now?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  And what intelligence information have you come up with?

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: I think it might be possible to beam through it if we align the transporters properly. I will speak to Ensign Spencer about it.

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
*OPS:* Excellent and keep Commander Ayidee informed as well.

Host Capt_Pred says:
@XO: No, which is why I was glad to see you show up when you did

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: Did you hear any of that Commander?

CEO_Spencer says:
::hearing the ops officer::  OPS: Well we'll need some science data on the gateway but if we beamed there with pattern enhancers on our side I don't see why the reverse shouldn't work

CSO_Woo says:
@Oof: So... Your Excellency... have you located a suitable heir yet? ::smiles - tries to make small talk - notices the XO still talking with the captain::

OPS_Barnes says:
*CO*: Aye Captain, Barnes out. ::taps comm badge again, and walks over to CEO at the back of the Bridge::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: Aye ma'am.  Encouraging news, better than I'd expected.

Host Capt_Pred says:
<Oof> @CSO: no, would you like to apply for the job young man?

Host XO_Knight says:
@Pred:  Well then, I suggest that we see what we can come up with to get ourselves out of here.  ::smiles slightly::

OPS_Barnes says:
::looks surprised:: CEO: You heard that? Vulcan hearing is what they claim  it to be then. ::smiles:: Make it so, Ensign.

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: But it seems our guest has stopped talking.  It would help to know how he got back here, in case the gateway disappears.

Host XO_Knight says:
@::looks over to Eric to make sure he is okay::

Host CO_Capt_Sheridan says:
CTO: He's a mute Tio.

CSO_Woo says:
@::eyes widen:: Oof: Oh, my, Your Excellency, I am flattered that you would suggest so - but I certainly cannot rule an entire realm! ::laughs politely::

OPS_Barnes says:
*CTO*: Bridge to Commander Ayidee. I am working with Ensign Spencer on a way to get you through the dimensional gateway. I will keep you posted of our progress.

Host XO_Knight says:
@~~~CSO:  How you doing over there Eric?~~~

CEO_Spencer says:
::makes an order for pattern enhancers to be distributed to team members in Transporter room 3::

CTO_Ayidee says:
CO: But you said that he told you things...  *OPS*: Excellent work.

OPS_Barnes says:
::Walks away from Engineering station and assumes seat in center chair again::
