Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

The Huron broke free from the time loop, broken and tattered.  Sensors were barely operational.  Tactical systems were down.  Transporters were down.  And engines were just out of the question not working.

And if things couldn't get any worse, now three Romulan Birds of Prey had surrounded the Huron and were demanding to know why they were in Romulan Space.  Things appeared to be going from bad to worse.

The Captain is now preparing for the worst - Romulan borders.  But at least they have communications, though limited they are.  Maybe Commander Naug can sweet-talk the Romulans until the Captain gets to the bridge.

**********************************************

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  I've rerouted all the power I can to the engines.  We don't have anymore, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: The other Huron is venting plasma remember, and we got a wave coming up behind us.  Hang on.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*ALL Hands*:  Prepare for impact!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Incoming energy wave.

Angeltra says:
XO/ *CTO*: The other Huron has been destroyed, impact imminent and increasing in power.

<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, trying to get a good reading on the Romulan vessels.::  *Scoo*: Look, I know what problems we're having.  Just get teams in positions to repel boarders if needed.

ACTION:  Casualty and injury reports are beginning to come into Operations:  6 dead; 36 missing, mostly women and children.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Get to the weapons’ lockers and arm us here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes her way to the main engineering room, working to get the primary systems back up.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Climbing through the jeffries tubes making his way to the bridge.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Continuing repairs under the COM.  Working on sensors.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Goes back to her helm station and receives a report from her people in the main Shuttle bay.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: Get the weapons distributed, Type II's to all hands.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Can you see those Romulans?  What are they doing?

ACTION:  The lead Romulan warbird is hailing the Huron.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Sir, I have one shuttle that may be able to transport people.  I am having them look at it but the others are shot.  They say they 'think' it is safe to transport people.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gets up off the floor to answer the COM.::

ACTION:  Several consoles spark in main engineering.  Crewmen race to suppress a fire that is started.  One engineer is hit in the cheek with a spark.  Another crewman's sleeve catches on fire as a spark flies at him.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Contact the CO with that, he is wanting transported here ASAP.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Nods.:: XO: Understood.  ::Turns and sends her hands flying over her console.::

EO Martin says: 
CEO: Holly, we have partial main power back on the primary systems. Should be able to get the lifts back momentarily.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CO*: Sir, I have a shuttle in the shuttle bay that I am told may be safe to transport people with.  Do you want me to attempt it?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Sir, the Romulans are hailing.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Knows he is about to shout.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Shields are raised, but weapons aren't armed yet.  Trying to get some useful information out of them.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pauses his climb.::  *FCO*: Define "may be safe".

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  At least they aren’t going to shoot yet.  Keep on them.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Ducks as sparks fly.::  All: Get that fire under control!  Martin, keep that power coming.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Open channel, audio only.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Opens COM.::  Channel open, Sir.  Audio only.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CO*: Well Sir, and this is a professional opinion from an ex-CEO, I would not bet my life on it unless I was the one controlling the transport.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Waiting to see what they want.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sir, not sure if this is a function of failing systems or not, but these ships don't match any current configuration in the recognition protocols.

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron:  This is Chavek.  You did not answer my question.  Why are you here?  What are your intentions?!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Signals OPS to silence comm.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Goes back under console board and back to sensors.::  Self: The view screen will have to wait.

EO Martin says:
CEO: Holly, I've found the problem, and you're not going to like it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hears XO, reaches up and silences COM.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  What do you mean, doesn’t match?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Nods to OPS to open it back.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I mean they don't fit what Romulan ships should be.  No idea why.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: Let's hear it, good or bad. ::Sighs.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Thinking to self.:: Die in transporter accident trying to reach my post, or die at the hands of the Romulans in a jeffries tube trying to reach my post.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*FCO*:  Get me to the bridge, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Opens COM, from under console.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
COM: Romulan:  I am sorry, we are experiencing sensors malfunctions, if you came into your space we are sorry.  Give us time to repair, and we will be on way.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Also picking up chroniton energy in the area, but it's fading.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CO*:  Understood Sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*: Get me eyes on the bogeys; I wanna know if sensors are messed up or not.

EO Martin says:
CEO: Something or someone is sending energy bursts into our systems. I'm trying to pinpoint the source.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Moves to the CTO.::  CTO:  Can you locate a federation time beacon?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Braces for the transport.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Hands fly inputting the coordinates from the Captain's current location to the bridge and narrows the confinement beam, and says a prayer and executes the transport.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Rolls her eyes.::  EO:  Martin, make it quick.  I have to tell the bridge.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Has eyes glued to the console as the transport has begun.::

ACTION:  The CO is beamed to the bridge, but only after the beam fades in and out a few times.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Making progress with sensor systems.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Bloody beam finally settled.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO:  Welcome to the bridge, and I am sorry for the long transport.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Glad you made it.  We have the Romulans on the comm.

EO Martin says:
::Nods and proceeds.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Lets out a long breath.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pats himself down to make sure everything is in place.::  FCO: Shut down that transporter until they can get it back to 100%.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Let me see...no Sir.  No time beacons in range, although our position puts us in Federation Space, at least as we know it.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Works to help find out the source of the power spikes.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Yes Sir.  I will shut down the shuttle transporter Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: Any demands yet?

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron XO:  Perhaps we can assist you with your repairs.  Your vessel is not familiar to us.  Where are you from?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Cross reference the ships with historical Romulans’ ship design.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Sends the command to her people in the shuttle bay to take offline all transporters.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Puts some finishing touches on sensors and begins a diagnostic test.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  There is your answer, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Guess that answers that question.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They do that automatically.  They're close to some older models, but...but not.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Her eyes go wide as she and Martin stumble on the cause.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  And I believe we are out of time, in the past.  But that is just speculation.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hears the Romulans.::  All: They don't know us?  That could be good, huh?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO/ CO: Time or reality, not exactly sure.  Need astrophysics’ sensors to tell for sure...

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*:  We have just located a possible reason for all the continuing power failures. Would there be any vessels close by us?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO/CO: Either way we can't let them onboard then.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: At least three Romulan, or close to Romulan, vessels.  Uncertain if they have cloaked backup.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  This is Captain Q'tor of the Starship Huron.  We have received massive damage from a spatial distortion and are currently undergoing repairs.  All of our sensors are down, including navigational sensors.  Could you possibly transmit local star charts so that we can determine our location?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, do you also mean the ships transporters as well?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Yes.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Casualty reports coming in six dead; thirty six missing, Sir ::Gets sad sounding.::  Sir?  Mostly women and children.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Icky, someone from those ships is directing an energy beam directly at us.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Understood Sir.  ::Takes the ships’ transporters offline and locks them down.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  What you mean 36 missing?  How can 36 people go missing?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Easy if we have no shields.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Understood, I'll see what I can do about it, but not many options.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: I'll look into it, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Is there anyway you can tell if they were transported off or not.

Chavek says:
@::Cuts the comm briefly and then comes back on.::  COM: Huron:  We are sending star charts to you.  We are much interested in your ship design.  Might we come aboard to assist in your repairs?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Eyes go wide.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS/XO:  They are probably stranded on various parts of the ship.  Internal sensors have probably been damaged along with everything else.  We'll find them.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sensors were down at the time.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Spare a few of your men and search the decks to locate them.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Let’s just hope they are just lost on the ship.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Aye, but that will take away from the boarding repeller preparations.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Icky, our systems are being drained so the repairs are useless.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Sir, I can't sense any of the missing or the Romulans either.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Give Icky’s teams the names of the missing.  
CTO:  That should help minimize the search.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Okay, I'll see what we can find.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  I'm afraid that would not be advisable Commander Chavek.  Most of our primary systems are unstable at best.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Engineering's reporting we're being drained by something external.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Can you isolate it?  Where it is coming from?

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron CO:  More of a reason for us to come and assist you, .. ::pauses:: unless you are trying to hide something ..

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gets up off the floor.:: CO: The sensors are back on line. ::Sits.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self: Drained by what?  Think T'Lar what would drain power......

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll try, not sure...never mind.  Turning Tactical sensors to try and locate the drain.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: I fixed them. ::Smiles.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  As soon as those star charts arrive pinpoint our exact location.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: Yes, you did Riley and did a good job too.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO:  Understood, Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Good can you locate the missing women and children.

EO Martin says:
::Finds another blown circuit and curses under his breath.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Waits on the star charts.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sir, we have another side to the problem.  Energy drain's coming from those ships out there.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: I'll try, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Let's see what we're facing then.

ACTION:  Four more reports of missing persons come in, making the total 40 now.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::As the charts come in she calculates and triangulates and finally comes up with their exact location or hopes she is correct.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Sir, missing is up to forty now.  Still investigating.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  They are attacking us.  Draining our power.  We must disable or get out of here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO:  Sir, the star charts arrived, and we are right outside the Betreka Nebula, in Federation space as we know it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Drafts a list of missing.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves to the far console and continues to effect repairs as best she can.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Checking COM badges with MIA list.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Is there anyway to repair the beam or whatever is draining us?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO:  Power drains from the Romulan war birds?  If that is true, then maybe we should use the shuttles to disable the power beams?  I mean if we know where the beam is coming from.....

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  Commander Chavek, I will admit that there are also security issues at stake here.  As soon as we are able, we will be on our way.  You are welcome to stay and guard us, but do not attempt to board my ship.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO:  Hold on a second, Captain.  Something is wrong; it is very wrong.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Not until we can find the cause, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Uses newly repaired internal sensors to trace COM badges and life sign bio-signatures.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Understood, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Texts to the Captain's chair.::  CO: These star charts are coded from the Romulan Empire and are coded 100 years in our past according to the time stamp on them.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  What about portable shield generators?  Set them about the outer hull around the Reactor, try and keep the beam out.

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron CO:  I think we both know that if I wanted to board your ship, that I would have no trouble doing so.  What I am wondering is why you are refusing our assistance when clearly we can see by our sensors that you need it.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  I'm patching systems up now.  We need to get away from those ships somehow.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All:  Maybe these Romulans ain't our enemy.  They didn't even know us.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  Commander, this may seem a strange question, but what is the date?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  We need engines first, Commander, so we can get away.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Suggestion noted Icky, but we could use a hand down here.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Don't matter.  Either they're way behind or from another "place".  Gotta keep the tech from them.

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron CO:  You are stalling!  Why are you here?!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: What exactly do you need?  I've got teams just outside Engineering in case our guests appear, but can send more if needed.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Working on the warp systems Sir, but impulse is still down.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CTO: Okay, sounds reasonable but, we could be nicer to them.  Us acting so weird might make them nervous.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  As you said, your own sensors can show you why we are here.  Now what is the date?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  If we are 100 years in the past, at that time everything made them nervous.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Texts to the Captain's chair.:: CO: If this time stamp is correct then we are in the year of 2283!

Chavek says:
@COM: Huron CO:  The year is 2283.  Now I've answered your question.  Why are you here?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Do we have any weapons at all?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Eyes go wide again.::  Self: Oh my god!!!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  What is it, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Sir?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Hand held, may be able to force through manual control on torpedoes and maybe a few phaser banks, but aiming will be problematic.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Martin: I'm going to the bridge. Keep repair teams moving.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: You said, oh my God.  What are you God’ng about?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Unless you have suddenly become a Betazoid, you don't know what I just thought.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: With all due respect, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: That is why I asked you, what is it.  Now SPIT IT OUT!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Chavek:  Commander Chavek, the spatial rift I told you was responsible for our condition, would seem to have displaced us in time.  It is imperative that you do not try to board this ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Begins her climb to the bridge again.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Looks at the XO.::  XO: Sir, spit what out?

ACTION:  As the FCO talks to the XO, spit flies out toward the XO.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Security*: Get ready, things are about to get bad I'm afraid.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Well you did say spit it out.  ::Grins.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Never mind.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Shrugs and goes back to her console.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: They could very well be the reason we are here.  They are draining us of our power.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self: Klingon's and their humor, oh well.

ACTION:  The Romulan warbirds begin to back away from the Huron, as if spooked by the communication from the Huron's Captain.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Still looking for the missing.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Maneuvers through jeffries tube after jeffries tube.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: If I'm reading this right, the power drain is decreasing.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: It looks like they are afraid if they mess with us they might disappear, just like ....

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: Hmmm, wait a minute.

EO_Martin says:
::Notices a change in the power drain.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Were they draining our power intentionally?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Looks at Riley.:: OPS: Might disappear like what?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  We have no idea.  Just that is was coming from them.

EO_Martin says:
*CEO*: Holly, we have a slow down in the power drain finally.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Martin*: Any reason why?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Did they move off and back off?  That may explain it.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud: This is so wrong.  If we are 100 years in the past, how can these Romulans be draining our power?  Do we know if they are actual ships of the past or not?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: How long until we have engines?  Or weapons, or shields, or something?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  I need a time frame till engines anything.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO/CTO/XO: Sir, umm, I hate to tell you this but, Jessica, Sam and the twins are amongst the missing.

EO_Martin says:
*CEO*: Nothing concrete, but it's all good.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: If this is really 2283, then any one of those systems would keep us safe from them.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, I've done everything I can think of. I don't think the missing are on the Huron anymore.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  WHAT!!!!!!!!!  Send some one to check my quarters.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They appear to have backed off, yes.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, Counselor Talora?  Missing, too.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Check for transporter traces.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Commander, Martin is reporting that the power drain is slowing.  Has something happened?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: No Sir. I've checked; they ain't on the ship. I'm sorry.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: They took them.  I will kill them with my bare hands.  Choke their breath right out of them.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Please don't tell me that, I can't think of that now.  ::Clenching the console so hard it may dent soon.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Her hands go instinctively to her own tummy and her babies.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sends a security team to physically check XO's quarters.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS: I understand that, Ensign.  What I need you to tell me is have they been transported off of the ship?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*Sam*:  Sam, respond!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: I'm sorry. Really I am.  ::Feels just awful. They always shoot the messenger.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Tries to sense the missing.::

ACTION:  There is no response from the XO's wife.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: Scan those ships; look for Starfleet comm badges.  We got to get them back.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Finally arrives at the bridge hatch, utterly exhausted.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: Commander! Tend to your duties. We will find the missing people, but we need to get our ship back together!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, I've triple checked; no transporter activity.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: They took my mate and offspring. What would you if it was your son?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, I can't sense them at all.  There is something very wrong here, and it isn't us.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes her way to the engineering console.::  All: Okay, what's happened?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: I would do my duty, Commander!  The same as I expect you to do yours!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Knows he's done everything he could to locate the missing. Must sit back and wait for the crew to deal with the facts.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: We don't know that, no signs of any of the missing.  No badges, no property, nothing that the teams have found.  They wouldn't take everything!

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CEO: Holly, the Captain ordered all transporters to be taken off line and locked down.  I have seen to that.  So far we have primary systems nearly up to 85% but about the warp core, I don't know yet.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Yes, Captain.  ::Growling.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Uses sensors to see if anything else is in the area besides the Romulans.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Scan for any anomalous readings.  Chroniton radiation, or anything out of the ordinary.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: You can tell her.  ::Motions to the CEO.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: She's missing, gone.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Just started doing that, Sir.  Great minds, huh?  ::Tries to smile at him but, nope.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
FCO: With the drain easing, we should be able to get the primary systems to 100% within a short time.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, your son is missing too. I'm sorry. But, we'll get 'em back; you'll see.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to Icky.:: CTO: Who is gone?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks to the CO at what the OPS said.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Takes a deep breath:: OPS:  jIyaj.  Continue with your scans.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Jessie.  And several others.  We're trying to figure out what happened, but nothing.  Nothing yet, that is.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: It seems I am not alone.  I apologize for the remark, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: No need, Commander.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Someone took Jessie again? You must be wrong.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Not sure if someone took her, security and sensors both coming up with no signs of them.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Ensign, so far you have reported spouses and children missing.  What about actual Starfleet personnel?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: Shields and engines, Commander.  We will get them back.  That I promise.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: If we are not in our time...  And.... why just woman and kids?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to the XO and looks at the CTO sadly.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I'm sorry, I wish I had the answers.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Some of the women are Starfleet personnel.  That's why I was able to check COM badges.  They aren't here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Sends a message to engineering to get their butts in gear and get the engines back up.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: What departments?  Any rhyme or reason behind who's gone?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Anything further from the Romulans?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Precisely, six of the women are crew.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Anymore since they backed off?  Where are they now?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Checks to see just who the six that died were.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Just sitting there for now, no change in activity.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, weren't there forty missing from the Huron in the rift?  Could there be a tie in with that?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Gets a message that engines are beginning to come back.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Is it possible when we emerged here they were some how looped back to the other Huron?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Sir, we can't do anything right know but let them look at us.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: One of the six crew missing is Doctor Clarissa.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Make sure everyone is ready to repel borders.  They seemed adamant about getting on board.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: No, there were only 40 on the ship that blew up.  If there is a link, we're going to lose a lot more.  ::Glances back.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Starts pacing back and forth as he thinks out loud.:: Self: Spatial rift, disappearing crew....

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: We're as ready as we can be without shields.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to the command staff.::  CO/XO: We'll have engines back in approximately two hours.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  No, there were only 40 life signs on board the other Huron, not 40 missing.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CTO:  But if it is not a causality rift, then it is a Time Fissure and it would not repeat itself.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  Not saying if there is or isn't a link, just that if there is we're going to loose a lot more.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO/OPS:  If the ones on the other Huron are the missing, then where are the other 4?  Thinking out loud.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: Thank you, Holly.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CTO: Let's pray that we don't lose any more.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO: That is a weird coincidence.  The number forty in both situations, I think you got something.  What does your spirit guide gotta say about that?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Do you have anything on the missing people’s last location?  Where were they when they went missing?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: I will have to contact him soon to find out if there is a link.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks around the bridge at the long faces.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: I hope he has a good answer, or I am not going to pay him this time.  He has to earn it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: I'll compile a list and send it to your console, Sir. It looks pretty random to me.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: The last I knew, Sam and the kids were in my quarters.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: But, what about what Lieutenant Bishara said.  Forty, Sir?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Scan those specific locations to see if there is any trace of anything out of the ordinary.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Looks at the captain.::  CO: Yes Sir, I said forty not 36.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Carries out the order.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS/FCO: Right now it's just a coincidence.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, I pray you are right.
