CNSToni says:
::In office reviewing status of evaluations, preparing for next round of counseling sessions::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs:: Self: Oh, now I remember.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Wait until they come back on sensors, then tries hailing them.

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* I would like to meet you and discuss the broken plasma conduit.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Right!

CNSToni says:
*XO*. When you have time please come to my office for a moment I need you to confirm something.

TO_Corjet says:
::Enters Ops:: XO/CO: Reporting for duty, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Good to see you in Ops again.

CSO-Temal says:
::Checks scan update on the PADD the CO gave him to run scans on::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Aye, Marek.  When and where?  The Promenade?  Section 1?

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: ::Raises an eyebrow at LtJG. Kerst:: Right?

XO_Hicks says:
*CNS* Acknowledged, Counselor.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: ::Nods to the TO::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CNS* Counselor, I need to make an appointment to see you.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Thanks.  I'm glad I got a chance to rest, but I heard there was a fire of some sort.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sorry, I mean Aye, Commander.  This whole situation has me a bit flustered for some reason.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Very well, we will skip the court martial this time.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: A broken plasma conduit, Tasha.  Anyway, let's go back to work.

CNSToni says:
*CEO* I will have time to see you in about one-half hour, is that all right with you?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, the runabout has reappeared and is heading for us!

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Were there any serious injuries?  Yes, what do you need me to do?

Host CO_Valar says:
::Looks at Hicks and raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Hail them!

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, if I may, I need to see the Counselor.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM Runabout: Lt. Lewis, please report!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Brings up the data on the plasma conduit:: *CNS* Well, I do have to meet with CTO Marek and discuss the power transfer conduit that exploded.  Maybe after that?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I'm getting the results from your PADD in now.

Host CO_Valar says:
XO: Very well.  Report back after your session.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Several injuries, two serious. They are all right now. 

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: What the heck is going on here?

CNSToni says:
*CEO* Just call me when you are free.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  *CNS* Lieutenant, I'm on my way to you right now.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout: Good question.  What time do you have?

CEO_Corjet says:
*CNS* Okay, will do. Randy, out.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Checks chronometer::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: That's good.  We wouldn't want injured crewmembers.  Umm, what is it you said I needed to do?

EO_Piester says:
::Pulls out plasma conduit:: *CEO*  Where do you want this plasma conduit stored, Sir?

CSO-Temal says:
::Checks report:: CO: Besides being heavily damaged and nearly hopeless to activate, it is heavily saturated with chronoton particles, almost a sure sign of a time loop of some sort.

XO_Hicks says:
::Leaves Ops::

CNSToni says:
*XO* Acknowledged. Sir.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: My chronometer reads 2312 hours.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO*  Put it in a separate storage locker.  Wait!

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  It confirms my suspicions.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: I've been out here looking for both you and the Cutlass for the last two hours.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Permission to leave Ops, Sir. Going to meet the CEO and discuss that plasma conduit analysis.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout: Well, it's only 2112 here.  You've gained 2 hours on us.  What did you find?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Raises an eyebrow in shock:: Self: What!

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* What, Sir?

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: You for one.

CNSToni says:
::Standing at desk holding PADD, reading::

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: I could not locate the Cutlass.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters turbolift:: Deck 5.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks closer at the data:: Self: Hmm..

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout: Ha, Ha, Ha.  Anything that might tell us what is going on and why?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir?

XO_Hicks says:
::Exits turbolift and makes his way to the CNS office.  Rings door chime::

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: I can't tell.  You said I'm two hours ahead?

CEO_Corjet says:
*CTO*  I was wondering if you wanted the power transfer conduit stored in a special place or should I store it separately in one of my storage lockers?

CSO-Temal says:
::Scans the area again to update the sensor display.  Both ships remain on sensors.  Checks the Federation Time Beacon again::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Snaps out of a deep thought:: CTO: Oh, granted, Lieutenant.

CNSToni says:
XO: Come.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Thanks a lot, Sir. TO: Take the tactical station.  I'll be back in ten minutes. 

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: Permission to dock?

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters:: CNS: You wish to see me?

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM Runabout: Our chronometers say it 2112.  Yours say 2312.  They were in sync before you left. Either you jump forward or we jumped back or we just went slower than you.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.  ::Moves so she can take over the tactical station::

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* I’m calling the CTO.  I'll get right back to you.  I was wondering if he wanted it stored somewhere special.  ::Pauses::  Piester, take another tricorder reading of that conduit first, please.  Make sure that the tricorder is working properly before you do.

CNSToni says:
XO: Yes, I have something important I think you should know about.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Kerst, why is Lewis back at the station?  Why is he not out looking for the Cutlass?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Sir, I am having trouble accessing the Federation Time Beacon.  There is too much sub-space interference.

CTO_Marek says:
*CEO* Please, I would like it to be store in a vacuum container until I can run some diagnostic on it.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout:  Understood.  Hold position where you are and keep a data link open with the stations computers, understood?

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: Okay, I'm all ears.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Will do.

LtjgLewis says:
COMM: Kootenai: Understood.

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: What kind of interference?

CTO_Marek says:
::Moves to the turbolift::  Main Engineering.

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir.  I won't remove the plasma conduit until I hear from you.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Please store it in a vacuum container, in a separate storage locker.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: The runabout has been out for 2 hours, its local time.  I'm having him hold position.  He couldn't locate the Cutlass, probably due to the time gradient.

CNSToni says:
XO: I had a session with CO Mitchell and it happened 3 times in 3 hours.

CSO-Temal says:
::Tries to separate the jumble of scans into something recognizable:: CO: Checking, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
::Staring at the turbolift doors::

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* All right, Sir.  ::Starts to run a diagnostic on his tricorder again::

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Send him back out there.   We need to have someone guarding the planet.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks closer at the data of the power transfer conduit.  Thinking the data might be faulty:: Self: It aged 1000 years?  Hmm.

LtjgLewis says:
@::In a holding pattern::

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: Really?  Sounds like another temporal loop.  Have you notified the Commander?

CNSToni says:
XO: I wanted to have you read my reports to be a witness to this strange occurrence.  I wanted to be sure that it was not just me this was happening to.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Stands from the command chair::

CEO_Corjet says:
Self: Oh, the disturbances could explain it.

TO_Corjet says:
::Watches the tactical console::

CTO_Marek says:
::Exits turbolift and enters Main Engineering::

CNSToni says:
XO: I have notified her, but I just wanted another pair of eyes to verify this, all right, Sir?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The Cutlass is still on sensors.  They appear to still be guarding the planet.

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: Very well, let me see the reports.

CNSToni says:
::Hands three reports to XO::

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: With all that is happening, how can you be certain they are guarding the planet?

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Sir, I see that the data from the scans of the power transfer conduit tell me that it's aged over a thousand years.  I’m having Ensign Piester run another scan.  ::Looks to Marek::

EO_Piester says:
Self: Tricorder is functioning properly.  Let’s run a scan on that plasma conduit again.  ::Runs level-3 scans on plasma conduit and immediate area::

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO* Acknowledged.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: The Cutlass is in orbit around the planet, repeatedly shooting down the same probe.  The runabout couldn't locate the Cutlass and somehow gained 2 hours on us. It might be dangerous to send him back towards the planet again.  He is presently holding position between the planet and us.

CSO-Temal says:
::Sorts the interference:: CO: It's too complicated to determine an exact type of particle that is interfering with us, but it does seem to form some type of pattern.

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: How are you, CEO?  Listen, about the plasma conduit……..

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO: Hello, did you hear that?  Wow!  ::Wonders::

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes?

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: Did the exact same events take place at all three occurrences?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: With all that's happening I can't.  We could be getting two day old data, but with the current data I have it shows the Cutlass still in position

CNSToni says:
XO: Each time of the session, there were different outcomes.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: I want Lewis to go back out there and figure out what is going on.  Are we clear on this?

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO: The Cutlass appeared to be about a day ahead of us local time.

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: I see.  And did you recognize when and where the loop occurred?

EO_Piester says:
Self: Interesting, I didn't find this the first time.  *CEO* Sir, I have found some metallic degrading from what looks like age near where the power transfer conduit ruptured.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNSToni says:
XO: And I am not sure which is correct but I think the last one is in sync with us at this present time.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Piester, check that whole section immediately.

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: Our primary scans, the ones we made with EO Piester didn't find anything suspicious on the plasma conduit, but you know during the reparations Romulans had access to the station systems, so we can't discard a possible sabotage attempt.  It's my duty to follow that trail.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: I've been waiting here a half-hour.

CNSToni says:
XO: It seems as if we are catching up, but slowly.

CSO-Temal says:
::Checks subspace comm channels.  Checks to see if they are still receiving random comm traffic::

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Let me talk to Lewis.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout: Okay, Lewis, we'll try this again.  You are to proceed to the planet and enter a standard orbit.  Maintain a data link with us if possible.  What ever happens, do not return to the station unless ordered to, understood?

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes.  Ensign Piester has just informed me that there seems to be some more degradation in that section.  I’m having him check the whole section now.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: Understood.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Comm is open.

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: There may be some common thread to all this.  Please keep me informed.  I'm returning to Ops.

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir.  Self: This is mysterious.  ::Runs a scan on the section where the plasma conduit ruptured::

LtjgLewis says:
@::Sets course to the Cutlass' position::

Host CO_Valar says:
COMM: Runabout: Lewis, I want you to enter into a high orbit and find the Cutlass.  If needed, assist in guarding the planet.  Keep us informed of anything you find.

CNSToni says:
XO: Thank you for coming.  Oh, and do not forget your appointment later, Sir.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Sets up a data link to the station::

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: Now, if you allow me, I would like to run some diagnostics on the conduct.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: Aye, Sir.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Engages engines::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Checks data link with runabout::

CTO_Marek says:
CEO: Could you say me where it is stored?

XO_Hicks says:
CNS: I'll be back at the appointed time.  Thank you, Counselor.

Host CO_Valar says:
COMM: Runabout: And be careful, Lieutenant.  Valar, out.

XO_Hicks says:
::Leaves the CNS office and heads for Ops::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Whatever or wherever the subspace interference is coming from, it doesn't seem to have too large of an affect.  We still receive the usual comm traffic and for now no other systems seem to be affected.

CEO_Corjet says:
CTO:  Sure, I didn’t quite believe the data myself.  I had Piester run another tricorder scan.  It’s in a separate locker, in a vacuum container as you requested.

Host James says:
Action: A rumbling can be felt throughout the station.  Red Alert is sounded automatically.

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels like she might fall off her feet but keeps her balance::

CTO_Marek says:
::Feels the rumbling::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Feels station tremble:: ALL: What the…..??

CTO_Marek says:
*TO* Report!

Host James says:
<Computer> Explosive decompression.  Deck 35.  Force fields in place.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Feels the station rumble:: CSO: Report!

CSO-Temal says:
::Checks sensor logs to check if they are being hit by something::

TO_Corjet says:
::Runs a scan::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the rumbling:: Self: What was that?  ::Runs a series of diagnostic checks and watches the automated diagnostic checks too::

EO_Piester says:
::Feels rumbling:: Self: Oh man!

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Sir, I'm on my way to Ops!

LtjgLewis says:
@::Traveling to the Cutlass::

Host CO_Valar says:
*XO* Acknowledged.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: I'm on it, checking now, Sir

OPS_Kerst says:
::Reads panel:: CO: We've had a hull breach on deck 35.  Force fields are up.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Increases full power to structural integrity fields::

CTO_Marek says:
Self: Those scans will have to wait.

Civ_Cook says:
::Decides that he will take a stroll around the station and see what is going on::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Everything looks okay at the moment.  I'm performing a few scans.  Oh, Sir, there's a hull breach on deck 35!

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO*  Valar to Corjet.  Report to deck 35 immediately.  I want a full report!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Brings the back-up systems online.  Sees the hull breach::

LtjgLewis says:
@::Approaches Demimonde V::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: On my way to Ops.  ::Runs to the turbolift::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  ::Turns to exit::  On my way.

TO_Corjet says:
*CTO* Acknowledged.

Host CO_Valar says:
*CTO* Begin evacuation protocols, deck 35, immediately.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Grabs his Engineers Toolkit and then a light EVA suit.  Exits Main Engineering::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters turbolift:: Deck 35.

CTO_Marek says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enters Ops and takes his station::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Puts on his light EVA suit::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Studies readouts on the hull breach::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: All sensors are saying is that the stress on that section of the station exceeded design limits and a breach formed as a result.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO/CO: The runabout is off the sensors.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: It appears the spatial stresses exceed the structural integrity limits in that localized area.

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: I want to know the cause.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs as he checks the systems of his EVA Suit::

CTO_Marek says:
::Taps on a computer panel on the wall and activates evacuation protocols on deck 35::

CSO-Temal says:
::Tries to locate the runabout on sensors::

XO_Hicks says:
*CTO* Are there any casualties on deck 35?

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: I suspect the Nile will reappear shortly.  Keep watching the sensors.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits the turbolift pulling out his tricorder and scans the area::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: It should eventually appear near the planet. I think we should see it tomorrow local time.

CSO-Temal says:
::Runs subspace, active, multi-phasic and spectrographical scans to try to determine the cause of the breech::

CTO_Marek says:
*XO* Two injured crewmen, nothing to worry about, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Watches the console::

CNSToni says:
::Opens ship-wide comm link, picks up PADD of next report::

EO_Piester says:
Self: Hmm...it is just that small area that is degraded.  *CEO* Sir, do you need any emergency help?

CTO_Marek says:
::Jumps into the turbolift and shouts:: Ops!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks down the hall, bumps into a force field:: Self: Opps!

XO_Hicks says:
*CTO* Thank you, Lieutenant.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles as he sees that no one was or is here::

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* No. I think I can handle it.

CTO_Marek says:
::Enters Ops::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: We just rebuilt this station.  I don't want it torn apart again.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Within 100 km of the station::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks at the hole in the wall:: Self: Hmm……::Scans it with his tricorder::

Host CO_Valar says:
*XO* Agreed.

Civ_Cook says:
::Heads to the nearest turbolift:: Deck 5.  ::The turbolift makes it way slowly but surely::

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: Nile to Cmdr. Mitchell.  I have troubling news.

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir.  ::Starts to remove the faulty conduit::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Notices data link is back::  CSO/CO: We have the runabout again.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Evacuation report, Tasha.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* I have a hole here.  The force fields are holding.  I’m scanning it now.  ::Continues with his scans::

Host CO_Valar says:
COMM: Nile: Speak up, Lewis!  What news?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Still no results from scans on what caused the breech.  I might guess though that perhaps the time loops may have adverse sheering affects on the station.  The runabout and the Cutlass may be experiencing the same affects.

CNSToni says:
::Tells computer to turn on her favorite music, in a low tone::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs, frowns::  Self:  Oh oh!

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: Sir, I searched Demimonde V for the Cutlass and she's still not there.

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO* How big is the hole and what caused it?

Civ_Cook says:
::After a few minutes on the turbolift it stops and the doors open up.  He gets out and makes his way towards CNS West's office::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: It's going well.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: I've searched there for five hours, but I found something else.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Walks to OPS console:: OPS: Location of the Nile?

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO:  What do think about firing a low-level phaser beam at the Nile.  We should be able to visually see the effect of the time gradient then.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Sir, the area around the hole has aged over 1000 years too!  It’s 5 feet by 5 feet, Sir.

CSO-Temal says:
::Tries to come up with a way to detect what is happening or where the runabout is going ever time it disappears::

EO_Piester says:
::Takes plasma conduit and puts it into a vacuum container::

Host CO_Valar says:
COMM: Nile: What?  Spit it out, Lieutenant!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Scanning.

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO* Can you seal it?

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: There is a subspace disturbance that is originating from the surface of the planet.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pulls out his engineering PADD.  Taps away at it and starts a level-1 diagnostic on the power distribution network::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: He is approaching the station again.

Civ_Cook says:
::Arrives at the CNS's door and it beeps::

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Scan the planet for subspace disturbances!

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM Runabout: Report!  What time do you have?

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: Additionally, it seems the Federation satellites in place to prevent scanning have amplified those disturbances.

CNSToni says:
::Hears the door chime:: Who is there?

XO_Hicks says:
COMM: Runabout: Lt. Lewis, can you tell us where you went?  We lost you on scanners for a while.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: What?  I specifically told you to tell him NOT to come back to the station!

CSO-Temal says:
OPS: Possible, though we would want to use something besides a phaser beam.  They might not have shields and there's no telling what a phaser beam might ignite with all the interference all around us.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Yes, I can.  It'll take awhile.  The force fields are holding though.  I'll probably have to take a work pod outside to effect repairs.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I did!

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: Chronotons are present.

EO_Piester says:
::Grabs new plasma conduit and runs a diagnostic over it to make sure that there has been no degradation::

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Deactivate the probes surrounding Demimonde V.

Civ_Cook says:
CNS: Donnie Cook

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Begins scanning the planet for subspace distortions, disturbances, and tachyon fields::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: True, but at minimal power it should affect the ship.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO Chad* Start work on the level-1 diagnostic on the Power Distribution Network immediately!

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> *CEO* Aye, Sir.

CNSToni says:
CIV: Oh yes, come in.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: I had to return because I had no reply to subspace communications.

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM Runabout: Please, what time do you have?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Gathers an engineering team to perform the diagnostic::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir, is there a possibility that we may have to destroy the planet or at least the location of the disturbance?

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: Kootenai: One moment.

Host CO_Valar says:
XO: Negative.  We cannot destroy the planet.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: All right.  ::Sends out order to the probes to deactivate:: CO: Do you want them to self-destruct as well?

Host CO_Valar says:
COMM: Nile:  Get back to the planet, Lewis!  You must resume guarding the planet in the absence of the Cutlass!  ::Grumbles::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Scans the hole again:: Self: Hmm.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: OPS: 0335.

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Negative.  Just deactivate them for now.

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Interference is hindering scans again but the planet clearly appears to be the source!

Host CO_Valar says:
CSO: Where is the Cutlass?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Starts the level 1 diagnostic with his team:: Self:  Our work is never done! ::Continues with the Level 1::

OPS_Kerst says:
COMM: Runabout: Be advised every time you go out you are gaining several hours on us. Therefore you will be out of communications with us until you return here.  Do not worry if you cannot reach us, understood?

EO_Piester says:
::Scan on the plasma conduit detects no metal degradation.  Starts to install new plasma conduit::

LtjgLewis says:
COMM: CO: If I am to return, with all due respect, Sir, I need reinforcements.

CTO_Marek says:
::Focuses tactical sensors on the planet::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: It was in orbit of the planet.

TO_Corjet says:
::Moves to another console so that Marek can use that one::

CSO-Temal says:
::Looks at sensors again.  Also tries to locate an ion trail leading down to the planet if they crashed::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Would you like me to effect repairs to the hole or should I let it be for now?

Host James says:
Action: For those that notice, Ensign Corjet's belly begins to swell.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO: Apparently time is running faster the closer one is to the planet.

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO* Repair the hole.

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels strange and looks down at her belly and her eyes bulge::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Remotely prepares a Sphinx work pod for his EVA to effect repairs::

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Will do.  Randy, out.

TO_Corjet says:
::Rubs her eyes::

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Sir, I don't feel so great. .::Faints::

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Dispatch reinforcements to the planet.  Tell Lewis to get back to the planet, now!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters the turbolift:: Deck 35.

CNSToni says:
CIV: Welcome aboard!   Come in and have a seat.

LtjgLewis says:
@COMM: CO: Sir, if I have anything to add from the planet, I will send a communications buoy.

Civ_Cook says:
CNS: Thanks. ::Walks in::  Do you know what is going on?  People are running around like crazy.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Sees Tasha faint and runs over to her::

CTO_Marek says:
::Sees TO fainting: Tasha!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir. 

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO*: How’s your work going?

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The Cutlass seems to be in a stationary orbit of the planet.  ::Transfers coordinates to OPS::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Feels something funny:: Self: Hmm.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Sets course back to Demimonde V::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Checks for a pulse then taps her comm badge:: *Sickbay* Valar to Sickbay, Medical emergency in Ops.

EO_Piester says:
::Finishes power conduit installation:: Self: There, that looks better.  ::Runs a level-1 diagnostic over area::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Are you all right?  ::Takes her pulse::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Notices Tasha’s stomach has swelled::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads to a storage locker and gets some tools::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I'll beam her there.  ::Prepares to beam the TO to Sickbay::

Host CO_Valar says:
CTO: I am a Doctor.  Please stand back and give me some room.

LtjgLewis says:
@::Begins to engage engines to the planet::

XO_Hicks says:
CSO: Temal, is there a way to disburse the chronoton particles?

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Negative.  Do not beam her to Sickbay!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Right, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::Moans a bit and tries to open her eyes, but takes a minute to readjust to the light::

CNSToni says:
CIV: Yes, basically.  It has something to do with a temporal black hole.  We are all involved.  You see, I listen to everything from my console, when I am not needed.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir?

Host CO_Valar says:
CTO: Get me a medical kit from the locker, hurry!  ::Looks at OPS and glares::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad>  ::Is almost finished with the level-1 diagnostic on the power distribution network::

LtjgLewis says:
@::en route to Demimonde V::

TO_Corjet says:
::Hears voices:: CO: Sir?  What's happened?

CNSToni says:
CIV: Excuse me a moment.  ::Taps comm badge::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Tasha, lie still.

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: With the CO occupied, permission to lead 2 runabouts to the planet?

Civ_Cook says:
CNS: You have tapped into the comm to listen to what is going on.  I should have thought of that.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Checking database for known ways, Sir.  ::Accesses computer::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir:  ::Opens the locker and takes out the medical kit::  Here you are, Sir.  ::Gives the kit to the CO::

CNSToni says:
*CO* May I be of any help to you there?

CSO-Temal says:
OPS: Can we raise the Cutlass on subspace yet?

Host CO_Valar says:
::Takes the medical kit and opens it up.  Extracts a hypo spray and injects Tasha.  Begins taking tricorder readings::

TO_Corjet says:
::Lies still:: CO: What's going on? I feel weird.  What's wrong with Nalis??  ::Starts to get worried and tries to sit up::

XO_Hicks says:
OPS: Proceed with caution, Kerst.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> *CEO* The level-1 diagnostic is complete.  Everything us fine, Sir.

Host CO_Valar says:
XO: You will have to take over while I help Tasha.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Yes, but they keep time looping.  They destroy that probe over and over again.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Already there, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Heads to the Master System Display and quickly checks EO Chad’s work:: Self: Good.

CSO-Temal says:
OPS: If we sent a runabout to take over the duty of destroying the probe, perhaps we could send the Cutlass to help the Nile.

EO_Piester says:
*CEO*: Sir, I have replaced the plasma conduit.  Has anybody run a diagnostic on the Power Distribution Network?

XO_Hicks says:
*CIV* Cook, do you have any OPS experience?

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO Chad*:  Good work.  I have something to discuss with you some time.  I'll call you later.  Randy out.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Tasha, you seem to be 8 months pregnant.  This temporal disturbance seems to have accelerated your pregnancy.

Civ_Cook says:
*XO* Some.  Why, Sir?

CTO_Marek says:
::Watches Dr. Valar attending TO Corjet::

CNSToni says:
*CO* Do you need me to help you?

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Looks like you are going to be a mother soon.  ::Grins::

XO_Hicks says:
*CIV* I need you in Ops, immediately.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> *CEO* Thanks, Sir.   Just call me when you need me.  Chad, out.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Both the Nile and the Cutlass are in orbit.  But the Nile is ahead of us now by a couple of hours. So it will take that long for it to appear on our sensors again.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: What????  Is Nalis okay???

Host CO_Valar says:
*CNS* Negative.  I have the situation under control.

XO_Hicks says:
CSO: Temal, any status?

Civ_Cook says:
*XO* On my way.  CNS: Well, talk with you later.  ::Heads out::

CNSToni says:
CIV: Later it will be then.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Sir, there are ways to disperse chronoton fields, but we lack the equipment and time to try to attempt any of them.

CNSToni says:
*CO* Acknowledged.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Yes, the baby is fine, just larger.  ::Grins::

Civ_Cook says:
::Heads towards Ops::

Host CO_Valar says:
CEO: You do not look too good.  Perhaps you should sit down, Lt.

TO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and relaxes a little and stops trying to get up::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits Main Engineering heading to deck 3::

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: Sir, I recommend we take another runabout with the express mission of destroying the source of the chronotons before some age a century or two.

CTO_Marek says:
::Goes back to the tactical station, while he watches the CO and TO::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Can you stand?

EO_Piester says:
::Picks up tools and heads to Main Engineering::

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Instead of sending manned away teams to pilot the two runabouts, we could simply send the runabouts to the Nile on autopilot and let them automatically control the runabout, so as to not endanger anymore lives.
TO_Corjet says:
::Tries to move:: CO: Will you give me a hand getting up?  I think I can walk.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters turbolift: Deck 3.

Civ_Cook says:
::Arrives at Ops and looks around to see where he should go next::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Certainly.  ::Holds onto Tasha to steady her as she tries to stand::

CTO_Marek says:
CO/TO: Do you need some help?

Host CO_Valar says:
CTO: Negative.  We are fine.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Anything that leaves the station moves ahead of it in time.  We cannot predict what might happen.  It would be risky sending unmanned vessels.  It would be hours before we know if they made it or not.

TO_Corjet says:
::Gets herself up and starts to walk towards the turbolift::

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* I’m going to take a Sphinx work pod to effect repairs to the hull breach on deck 35.  I have the work pod ready.  I just need clearance to exit.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Thanks anyway, Marek.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Where are you going?  You should sit down for a minute or two.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: You're welcome.

Civ_Cook says:
::Finds Ops and takes a seat:: Self: Ok let’s see……..

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Yes, but shouldn't we get to Sickbay?

EO_Piester says:
::Walks into Main Engineering:: CEO: Sir, how is the station doing?

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Status.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Permission granted.  But make sure you have some one spotting you from inside the station.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: In a minute.  I will have OPS beam us directly there.  Rest a minute first.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits the turbolift and heads to work pod 3.  Runs a self-diagnostic check on it as he settles down inside it::

TO_Corjet says:
::Sits down, thankfully::  CO: Where's Randy?

CSO-Temal says:
XO: I'm trying to devise a way of blocking the particles, Sir.  I may be close, one moment.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Oh, I forgot. Thanks.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: He is on deck 35 repairing a hole in the hull.

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Very well.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: He needs to be here!

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Do you have a few minutes?  I need you to spot for me while I affect repairs to the hull breach.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Replaces the tricorder in the medical kit and closes it::

XO-Hicks says:
CIV: Cook, are you okay at the OPS station?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/TO: I think we should wait until he's back inside the station to inform him.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Beam Tasha and I to Sickbay.

Civ_Cook says:
*XO* Yes, Sir. 

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* Yes, Sir.  I just finished the plasma conduit.  I'm on my way.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Let me store it for you, Sir.  ::Grabs the medical kit::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Gives the CTO the med kit:: CTO: Thank you.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Can't Piester take that over?

XO-Hicks says:
CIV: Good.  Try to hail the Nile.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO*  I would like you to put on an EVA suit.  Just to be on the safe side.

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Tasha, I will take care of informing Randy.

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Will do.

CTO_Marek says:
::Turns around and puts the medical kit back in its place::

CTO_Marek says:
::Goes back to the tactical console::

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  COMM: Nile: This is Kootenai Station, please respond.

Host CO_Valar says:
OPS: Beam us directly to Sickbay, please and then inform the CEO to report to SB.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: if we tried firing a condensed beam of heavily charged plasma particles directly at the planet, we might succeed in blocking the chronoton particles, then the time loops may be confined to the planet's surface

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, hold on.  ::Beams the TO and CO to Sickbay::

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Sir, I am not getting a response.

CNSToni says:
::Leaving her quarters, going toward Sickbay::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Dematerializes and rematerializes in Sickbay::

TO_Corjet says:
::Appears in Sickbay with Valar::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs. Calls for his Ahkayah:: Self: Tasha?

CNSToni says:
::Enters Sickbay just in time to see Valar and Tasha materialize, stands away from birthing area::

XO-Hicks says:
CIV: Keep trying.

TO_Corjet says:
Self: Randy, I'm okay. Hurry with that hull breach, please??

CTO_Marek says:
::Sets sensors on the runabout and runs some scans::

EO_Piester says:
*CEO* Aye, Sir.  ::Grabs EVA suit and heads for the turbolift and enters::  Deck 35.

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Understood.  ::Keeps trying to hail the Nile::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles:: Self: Yes, my sweet.

OPS_Kerst says:
XO:/CIV: The Nile is several hours ahead of us.  We have to catch up to it to receive the response.

XO-Hicks says:
CSO:  Proceed with your plan.  We need to localize the temporal displacements.

EO_Piester says:
::Puts on EVA suit while in the turbolift::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Powers up the systems on the work pod::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Sees the medical staff::  Staff: We're about to deliver a baby.  Please prepare the instruments.

XO-Hicks says:
OPS: Thank you, Kerst.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS*  Shuttlebay doors?

CSO-Temal says:
XO: If this doesn't work we could analyze why the probes intensified the particles, then try to use the reverse affect.  ::Charges the main deflector dish::

TO_Corjet says:
::Makes a fist and scrunches her face a bit as her stomach feels like it's going to kill her::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Walks over to the locker, extracts a surgical uniform and changes into it::

Civ_Cook says:
*CEO* I am not the OPS but I will have to do.  ::Opens the shuttlebay doors::

TO_Corjet says:
::Moves to a biobed and lays down::

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Opening them now. Your spotter all set?

EO_Piester says:
::Walks out of turbolift and into Cargo Bay::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Lifts off and heads to the doors even though they are still closed, because he feels the urgency to work as fast as he can::

EO_Piester says:
*CEO*: I'm in position, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Are you ready?

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Well, let's hope this works the first time.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* He is.  ::Exits the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Walks over to sterilize her hands:: TO: Tasha, it will not be long now.  Try to relax and breathe deeply.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Beam is charging.  I'll give it a few moments to make sure we have the concentration gradient to high enough levels.

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods her head and takes a deep breath::

EO_Piester says:
::Pulls out a tricorder and scans the area around the breech::

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Very well.

Host CO_Valar says:
Nurse: I need a few sheets over here, stat!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts the repairs to the hull breach::

Host CO_Valar says:
*OPS* Did you inform the CEO to report to Sickbay immediately?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts to sweat.  Turns up the air conditioner::  Self: Just a few more welds.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Beam to full strength, ready to activate on your mark.  I'll set it to disperse in the atmosphere and hopefully block the particles.  It'll take time to reach the planet though.  If it is successful it shouldn't be affected by the time loops

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: I'll head to launch bay now. I'll take two runabouts. Once we leave the station we'll move forward in time so we will be off sensors and out of comm range.

CNSToni says:
::Folds hands behind her back ands watches CO Mitchell and Tasha in action::

Host CO_Valar says:
<Nurse> Aye, Sir.  Right away.  ::Goes to locker, removes the sheets and prepares Tasha for childbirth::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Scans his welds to the plate:: Self: Looks good.

TO_Corjet says:
::Starts to get a little annoyed:: CO: I can't give birth till Randy gets here!

XO-Hicks says:
OPS: Good luck. CSO: Engage the beam.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* I’ve just finished, Sir. ::Pilots the work pod to the shuttlebay::

CTO_Marek says:
::Nothing unusual appears in the scans over the runabout results::

OPS_Kerst says:
*Baker, Niles, O"Bainen, Shultz meet me at Pad 7*

Civ_Cook says:
*CEO* You may want to hurry, I have just got a report your wife is having a baby.

Host CO_Valar says:
*CEO* Report to sickbay immediately!  Tasha is going to give birth to your son.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Lands the work pod::

EO_Piester says:
*CEO*:Looking good, Sir.

Civ_Cook says:
::Tries to hail the Nile again::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Enters turbolift:: Pad 7

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* On my way!

CNSToni says:
Self:  Geeze, another child to be born on board this station::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs to the turbolift::

CSO-Temal says:
::Activates the main deflector dish, fires the beam at the planet, making sure not to aim it at a runabout or the Cutlass::

TO_Corjet says:
::Calls out to Randy:: Self: Randy, come on!!!!

Host CO_Valar says:
::Walks over to the biobed and scans Tasha with the tricorder::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters turbolift:: Sickbay.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: Please tell me that I've got an hour or two?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Exits the turbolift runs to Sickbay:: Self: Tasha!

Host James says:
Action:  An immense plasma beam is fired from the Kootenai's deflector dish, drawing from main power and dimming all illumination for a moment or two.

CNSToni says:
::Watching, squinting:: Self: this has got to hurt.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: Deflector dish is active.  I'll try to keep a flow of particles coming out of it for a while before deactivating it.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Enters Sickbay, runs to Tasha’s side:: Tasha: Ahkayah!

EO_Piester says:
:Self: What the??

OPS_Kerst says:
::sees light dims::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: No, I am afraid not.  This baby wants to come out now.

CSO-Temal says:
*EO* You'll need to bring emergency generators online to compensate for the plasma beam.

TO_Corjet says:
::Takes Randy’s hand:: CO: Now??

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Good deal.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the others in Sickbay::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: Well, soon.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Exits turbolift and heads to Pad 7 and a runabout::

TO_Corjet says:
CO: I'm not ready!

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Sir, main power is down to 90%, 70%

EO_Piester says:
*CSO* I will try but I need to get to Main Engineering first.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gently squeezes Tasha’s hand. Wonders what just happened::

Host CO_Valar says:
TO: You do not have a choice.  This baby wants to be born.

EO_Piester says:
::Runs out of Cargo Bay and into a turbolift:: Main Engineering, NOW!!!

Host James says:
Action: Emergency back-ups have automatically initialized once main power drew to 50%

CTO_Marek says:
Self: What is going on now?

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* What was that?

XO-Hicks says:
CIV: Reroute power from all non-essential systems.

CSO-Temal says:
CIV: You'll need to activate secondary and emergency generators to compensate for the beam.

TO_Corjet says:
::Looks really scared:: No!  It's too early!  ::Looks at Randy::  I'm not ready to be a mother!

Host CO_Valar says:
::Places tricorder on the instrument tray and waits::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Sir, we are experiencing some power decreases.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Meets others:: All: Baker, O'Bainen, take the Thames, we'll take the Rhine.  Stay close to us. Once we leave the station we'll drop out of contact with it. Okay?  Good.

Civ_Cook says:
XO: Working on it.  The emergency back-ups just kicked in.

XO-Hicks says:
CTO: I'm aware of that, Lieutenant.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Enters the Rhine and starts power up::

CSO-Temal says:
*OPS* Make sure to steer clear of the plasma beam.  Do not collide with it.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Sorry, Sir. My mistake.

Host CO_Valar says:
::Looks at Randy:: CEO: You look a bit nervous.  Try to relax or I will have to give you an injection.

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Is it having any effect?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gently stokes Tasha’s brow:: Tasha: You'll be fine.  You will.  ::Smiles:: Love you!

OPS_Kerst says:
*CIV* This is the runabout Rhine and Thames requesting emergency clearance to leave.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CSO* Understood.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: It most likely is still traveling to the planet.  We should know soon though.

EO_Piester says:
::Runs into Main Engineering sweating from still wearing the EVA suit::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tries his hardest to look calm:: CO: I hope you wont.

XO-Hicks says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

Civ_Cook says:
*OPS* You have clearance.  ::Opens the doors::

TO_Corjet says:
::Tries to tell Nalis to stay in::  Self: Nalis, I love you, but stay in there just for a couple more months, please??

Host James says:
Action:  The plasma particles should have struck the planet.  However, all is now silent.  Nothing has happened.  In Sickbay, the baby has begun to crown!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sends his love to Tasha::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Pilots the runabout out of station and heads towards planet, careful to avoid the beam::

Host CO_Valar says:
::Looks down at the baby's head:: TO: Here he comes!  Do not push until I tell you.

CSO-Temal says:
XO: I'm deactivating the beam.  That should be enough, now all we can do is wait.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Notices the Thames right beside them::
