FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Warp one!  Sir, nav sensors indicate runabouts on an intercept course!

CSO-Temal says:
::Looks over the sensors as a light flashes::  CO: Captain, sensors are picking up two runabouts, headed straight for us.

Host Valar says:
CSO: Identify.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches power readouts:: CTO: Okay, I'll divert all available power to shields and we'll see what they can handle.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Starting diagnostic routines.

CSO-Temal says:
::Locks sensors onto the runabouts and scans their warp signatures::

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:

CO: Sir, Federation runabouts, from the colony.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Monitors the warp drive systems and runs a diagnostic on it and critical systems::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Shall I hail them, Sir?

CNS_Toni says:
CSO: I was wondering, when we were in the Viirix system last time and there was that infection, could that have also been the Entity that killed Am`Tath’s people?   Was that confirmed to be one in the same?

Host Valar says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  FCO: Stay on course and increase speed.

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Aye, Sir, going to warp 2 and increasing.

CNS: We can't say for sure.  We are going back to find out and correct it either way.

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Warp 6.

Host Valar says:
CSO: Prepare to engage temporal device.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, should we hail the runabouts?  We don't know if they will be caught when we engage the temporal drive.

Host Valar says:
OPS: Negative.  Do not hail the runabouts.

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Warp 8!!!!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Gets a message from his engineers telling him that everything is fine, as far as they can make out::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: The temporal controls are ready and charged, Sir.  ::Detects runabouts::  and the runabouts are gaining.

XO_Hicks says:
::Enjoying the ride so far, taking in all that is going on::

CNS_Toni says:
CSO: But I don’t' get it.  If we cannot identify what the infection was, how are we going to know how to fight it or the Entity?

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Warp 9!

CO: Warp 9.1!

Host Valar says:

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: Warp 9.5!

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Shields seems to be in excellent condition.  I finished all my diagnostic. Excellent performance.

Host Valar says:
CSO: Engage temporal device!

CTO_Marek says:

XO_Hicks says:
ALL: Here we go, hold on tight!

OPS_Kerst says:

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
Self: What the???

Host Valar says:

CSO-Temal says:
::Tries to get readout from sensors::

CEO_Corjet says:

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Artificial gravity is offline.

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
OPS: Hurry!  I'm losing my grip!

Host Valar says:
CEO: Get the artificial gravity back online.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Tries to divert power to artificial gravity system::

CSO-Temal says:
CO: Sir, the time beacon says it to be about 10005.03.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Hears the CO's orders and starts to work on the artificial gravity systems:: CO: Working on it.

Host Valar says:
CSO: Excellent.  We have arrived at the proper time index.

CO: I want to kill all life support.  I want to divert all that power to the engines, and then the weapons.  It'll get stuffy in here.

XO_Hicks says:
::Takes the CO's hand in his::

CNS_Toni says:
::Stands and goes to console:: CTO: Diverting power from non-vital systems, now, now what?

CNS_Toni says:
::Reconfigures phaser emitters at 3.4 cycles:  CTO: Done, now what?

XO_Hicks says:
CO: If we have no weapons, we should ram the shuttle.

Host Valar says:
FCO: Give us all the speed you can get!

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, if we do a high-speed pass in front of the shuttle in the atmosphere, it should disrupt its flight path.

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
::Increases speed::

CTO_Marek says:
CNS: Now FIRE THEM!

FCO_Ens_Wayne says:
CO: It's through the floorboards now.

Host Valar says:
