Prelude: Last time on ACTD Kootenai Station…

The three crew of the 21st century shuttle were transported into stasis chambers in Sickbay while the CSO Taliza, TO Rr'Vellan and CIV Townsend prepared to enter the shuttle to gather information from their computer on the anomaly that sent them to the 24th century as well as any other important data.

OPS Spicer is proceeding with the computer subroutines, which will eliminate all traces of incoming COM signals sent to the shuttle upon their arrival as well as any data collected by their sensors when they arrived.

CEO Corjet and his engineering teams are busy replicating parts to repair the shuttle's hull damage to assure the shuttle and its crew will arrive back in the 21st century safely.

CNS Torez is in Sickbay assisting CMO Sovok and his medical staff with monitoring the stasis chambers and studying data on the shuttle crew.

CO Pavielion is in Operations at the science station attempting to find a way to create an exact duplicate of the anomaly in order to send the shuttle back to the 21st century.  He is also working on the calculations needed to assure the return of the shuttle will occur on August 10, 2010.

XO Kerst is in Operations overseeing the efforts.

Admiral Mitchell is in the new Sector Commander's office on level 37 talking to her decorator about fabrics, color choices, furniture, fixtures and going over the blueprints for the construction of her new quarters.  Being an Admiral definitely has its perks.

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

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Any luck?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks up as he notices the XO in Operations::  XO: Commander, would you care to take this over?  I have determined that a phased tachyon beam should create a raw anomaly, but there is still the matter of how to control it.

CNS_Alana says:
Standing in Sickbay, tricorder in hand making sure the stasis chamber is secure::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Slips on his EVA suit::

CEO_Corjet says:
::He brings up the scans on his tricorder, smiles as it included an internal air content scan:: *CO*: I think we should also replace the air content in the Challenger II just before we get those people back in there, Sir. ::Taps a few buttons on his tricorder::, Sir?  The air was fairly polluted with various oxides and what not, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO*: They might notice how clean the air is once they wake up.  I think we could get a better idea from examining their air conditioning system.  ::Frowns:: Should I be wearing and environmental suit too, Sir?  ::Thinks he's getting old and rambled on enough::

CIV_Townsend says:
::Getting on his protection suit and getting ready to go into Challenger::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: All stasis chambers are functioning at 100%.

CNS_Alana says:
::Hits COM badge:: *Security*: Please send two guards to Sickbay to guard these stasis chambers.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: You ready, Ensign?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CEO*: Commander, was the air pollution caused by their trip through the anomaly?  They did not have the filtering technology that we have today, so their air will be a bit more polluted than ours.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Yes I am, Sir!  Shall I go in first?

XO_Kerst says:
CO: If we can match the chronoton frequencies, we should get the temporal displacement right. However, I worry about controlling the size of the hole and any "spillage'.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: I don't see why not.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> *CNS*: Aye, Sir.  They're on their way.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Thank you, Sir.  ::Walks into the Challenger::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Nods::  XO: Sounds like it would work.  I will let you take this over ::Steps aside and lets the XO have the console::  while I attend to a few other matters and see how the crew is doing.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Glances over to the engineers who are bringing in the new exterior hull plating, then looks over to the EVA locker:: *CO*:No, Sir.  It was more than likely the environment they launched from.  Not a great deal of pollution, but much more than we have, Sir.  Aye, Sir, my concerns as well.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Follows CIV inside:: CIV: Now, where is the computer?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Directs his engineers to get ready to start their work::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: ::Looks inside. Walks over to a panel:: I believe the computer is here, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks back to the entrance:: TO: You coming in?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CEO*: You may clean the air up a little, but not too much.  If you wish, you might check the vessel's scrubbers and make sure that they are not too dirty.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, I recommend we activate the chronoton shielding we used earlier to combat the effects of the temporal shifts we experienced from the planet. I also recommend any ships not within that shield be moved to at least 2 light years from the station before we try this.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Completes the computer connection and begins searching the shuttle's computer system for data on this time zone::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries to access the shuttle’s computer::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Nods:: CSO: Yes, Sirr.  ::Slides her helmet on and locks it closed::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to his engineers and huddles them together:: *CO*:Aye, Sir, will do.  Corjet, out.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Glances around warily and trots into the shuttle::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks back::  XO: Reason, Commander?  The anomaly opened earlier and had no adverse effects on the station or the surrounding vessels, why should it now?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Flips a switch and hears a chime:: CIV: What was that?

CIV_Townsend says:
::Tabs the panel and sees it switch on:: CSO: This panel is working. ::Taps some buttons:: And it is the main computer.  I’m not sure.  I’ll run a diagnostic on it.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Accessing the shuttle computer is not as easy as the CSO thought.  He cannot get past the security lock out.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts talking with his engineer's and tells them how they're going to do this.  Then walks them through it once again, just to be on the safe side.   Smiles with satisfaction and starts to repair the hull damage to the Challenger II::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, could you please go to your office and send me that report over Lieutenant Bailey's behavior progress?  I need to file it for Starfleet Medical.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Yes but this time we're fiddling with it, forcing it open.  If we can't control it properly, we could find one of those ships or even the station back in the 21st century. I just want to be cautious. I hate temporal mechanics.

CNS_Alana says:
::Checking the sedation dosages for the Challenger II's crew who lay in the stasis chambers::  *CO*: Yes, Sir, it will be on your database momentarily.

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: I've hacked through tougher security codes from Cardassians.  ::Cracks knuckles and hacks away::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Very well, Commander.  Have Ensign Spicer inform all vessels to stand back and bring the station to yellow alert before you make the attempt.

XO_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: It seems to be a chime, Sir, but with all due respect may I attempt to breaking in this computer?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Orders the cutting crew to their starting positions, and goes over the internal circuitry, making sure they know where not to cut.  Smiles and orders them to start cutting and closely monitors their progress with his tricorder:: Self: Good... ::Taps on the tricorder:: Very good.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: NO!  We are not to physically get into the computer.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, once you’re in your office, please activate your desktop, I have a few questions regarding the Challenger II that perhaps you can answer.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CIV and CSO's conversation:: CSO:, Sirrr? What will you have me do herrre?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Inform all ships that unless they're currently docked we are enacting a no fly zone of 2 light year radius around the station until further notice.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Starts to walk out of Sickbay then turns wondering:: Self:: Where are those security guards?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Commander, you have Operations.  ::Walks into his Ready Room and sits down at his terminal::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Sends out the message on all channels::

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Take a look around to see if there are any clues as to what happened in here physically until I can get past this security lockout.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The security guards walk in just as the CNS walks out of Sickbay.

XO_Kerst says:
*CEO*: Randy, is that chronoton shielding for the station operational?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs and then orders the Inspection Team member to get to his duty.  Motions over to the other engineers to get their anti-gravity clamps onto the replacement parts.  Smiles and nods as an engineer shows him a scan of the replacement bulkhead:: Engineer: Good work!

OPS_Spicer says:
::Acknowledges the response from the surrounding ships in the area::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters several different combination codes::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Nods to the CSO and begins moving around the interior of the shuttle, looking for anything out of the ordinary::

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*:Aye, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses a moment and grabs his engineering PADD and taps quickly on it:: *XO*: Aye, Sir, it's fully functional, Sir.  ::Motions the Inspector over::

OPS_Spicer says:
Self: Excellent, now I need to find all references in this computer for the station and our time line. ::Scans the shuttle's computer memory::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Lights on the shuttle panel begin blinking as the CSO enters several codes.  Still the computer will not allow him access.

CNS_Alana says:
::Looks at Guards:: Security: Please keep a close eye on those pods, do not open them no matter what, I will be in my office if needed.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Goes over the Inspectors analysis.  Nods with approval and motions the others to get to work with welding the replacement bulkhead in place::

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Getting past this lockout has to be simple.  I mean, it's a 21st century, archaic computer!

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Bring the chronoton shielding on-line. You'll find it under auxiliary systems. It's a nonstandard item we put together.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> CNS: Aye, Sir.  ::Moves into Sickbay::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters more codes::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: For an old machine it sure is stubborn.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Has an idea come to him::  *CSO*: Lieutenant, would it be possible for you to download the vessel's databanks without leaving any traces?  I imagine that Starfleet's historical society would love that information.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks up as he sees some blinking lights from the corner of his eye.  Goes back to his work and monitors the welders work::

CSO_Taliza says:
*CO*: I would be able to do so, but I can't get past the computer's security lockout.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Looks mildly surprised and grins:: XO: Aye, Sir. ::Brings the system online::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters simple names, tries the name of the commander of the original Challenger, when it exploded in OEC 1986::

CNS_Alana says:
::Enters her office and walks over to her desk, pulls up her desk top and calls CO Pavielion::  *CO*:  I am it my console, Sending information to you regarding Lieutenant. Bailey  right now.  What was it you wanted to ask me, Sir?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Notices the attempts of the CSO trying to get into the computer on the shuttle:: *CSO*:, Sir, may I be of assistance? I am already connected to the system.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CSO*: Hmm, you might check with Ensign Spicer and see if he can run a bypass for you from Operations.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: While the CNS is out of Sickbay and the rest of the medical staff are busy treating several patients the stasis chamber housing Captain Robert Lofton begins to malfunction and he begins to wake up.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses another moment as he closely examines the welders work:: Inspector: Come check out their work. ::Smiles with pride::

XO_Kerst says:
::Studies the initial readouts of the anomaly, trying to find its main chronoton frequency::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The security guards have no clue as to the operation of the stasis chambers so to them all is secure.

CSO_Taliza says:
*CO*: Negative, Captain.  Bypasses won't work without the code.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Shudders slightly::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: Lieutenant, were there any reports of any experimental systems aboard the Challenger II?

CEO_Corjet says:
<Inspector> ::Nods and heads over to inspect the welding.  Pulls out his tricorder and closely scrutinizes their work::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I could do a random sequence code breaker if you like, Sir?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Logs the locations of all references to the sensor readings of the station and the time line on the shuttle's computer and marks them for deletion::

XO_Kerst says:
::Runs some computer models on his theory about reopening the anomaly::

Capt_Lofton says:
::His breathing starts to come back up to speed ::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged, perhaps Commander Corjet could find a way of manually bypassing it by re-wiring a few systems.  Keep trying and report back when you have had success.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Tries the last name "McAuliffe"::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Locates the food stores and checks to make sure all is well::

Capt_Lofton says:
::His eyes flutter::

CEO_Corjet says:
<Inspector> ::Smiles with pride at the engineers:: CEO: Looks like it's almost a perfect match. ::Moves over so they can continue::

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: No, Sir, there were not.  It was a routine flight, from what I have gathered from their database.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: No, I think I might be in the right direction.  I tried the name McAuliffe, the teacher who died on the original Challenger when it exploded in 1986.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Finds the shuttle's computer system audit trail and deletes the entries there of any actions he has taken::

XO_Kerst says:
::Is dissatisfied with the computer predictions, makes some adjustments, and runs them again::

CEO_Corjet says:
Inspector: Aye, Sir.  I'm glad to have them under my command. ::Motions the rest of the team to finish their work in making the hull seem like it was never changed:: engineers: Finishing touches. ::Looks over to the door of the shuttle::

Capt_Lofton says:
::His eyes bolt open.  All he sees is that he is inside a small, tight box.  He begins to struggle, his breath coming quickly now::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS*: You might try accessing Starfleet databanks and seeing if there were any rumors of secret systems.  Perhaps the vessel is not here on accident, but I am beginning to suspect that they may have tried to activate some experimental dimensional drive while on their way to Mars.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle Captain wakes up and panics as he realizes he's in some kind of coffin.  He begins pounding on the chamber lid accidentally hitting the manual release button inside opening the lid.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Looks over the MRE and grumbles to herself:: Self: How those poor people managed back then.  ::Sighs::

OPS_Spicer says:
::In reviewing the computer's audit log notices the failed login attempts of the CSO and deletes those entries as well::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I am not familiar with that but like the Captain said it is possible for me write a whole new program for this system and since I'm a Systems Specialist it wouldn’t take that long.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The security guard rushes over to the chamber and taps his COM badge.  *CNS*: Counselor, we have a situation here in Sickbay.  I think you better get over here pronto!

Capt_Lofton says:
::The lid opening, he stumbles out.  Once his feet are on the deck they give out temporarily and he falls to the floor::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: That is not necessary, ensign.  U.S. government workers in the late 20th and early 21st centuries didn't get much into big codes.

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*: I activated Starfleet’s data bases to find out what The ship might have been doing out this far in space at that time anyway, and, Sir , they were not .

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Yes, Sir!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Several medical personnel rush over to the shuttle Captain helping him to a biobed.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Remember, I used to do this for the Bajoran Resistance.

CNS_Alana says:
*CO*:I have to report back to Sickbay, there is something going on in there!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Starts a comparison scan of the replaced hull with the new one.  Slowly goes over each and every molecule.  Stands up and smiles:: engineers: Ok.. Clean up and move out.  ::Stands there and watches them as he taps away at his Engineering PADD::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: A code breaker?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: A hacker.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Looking around he sees everything with a halo of bright light.  The sounds and  sights not making any sense.  He struggles against those around him and tries to find his voice ::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Replaces the MRE's and thanks the Goddess for replicators::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: I beat tougher Cardassian codes than the ones NASA employed.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle Captain is fully awake and tries to get off the biobed.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*CNS: All right, then I will.  ::Pauses and listens:: What?!  Not something with the astronauts?

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I wrote my thesis my the academy on code breaking and code breaking of star base computers actually

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Stands up and leaves his ready room, rushes into Operations::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks over the area again and nods as everything is taken away.  Then walks over to the Challengers doors::

Capt_Lofton says:
Medic:  Let.... GO!  :: takes a swing at the nearest medic ::

XO_Kerst says:
::Sees the CO rush into OPS:: CO: Sir?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Theses are only good at the Academy, I have real world experience.  ::Tries to enter McAuliffe again::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes his head and turns around and heads for the EVA suit locker.  Starts suiting up:: Self: Almost forgot.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> *Ops*: Justin to Operations.  We have a problem in Sickbay.  Patch me though to the Captain.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I wrote my thesis at the Academy on code breaking and hacking of star base computers actually.

Capt_Lofton says:
All:  What is... where?  ::Stumbles around the room pushing off anyone that comes too close::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Has a frantic look on his face::  XO: Commander, have security clear out level thirteen and seal off Sickbay, activate forcefields around the doors.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle Captain is a large man, very strong.  He overpowers the security guards and fights off the medical personnel.

OPS_Spicer says:
*Justin*: Acknowledged. ::Patches the COM through::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I was once a Crewman onboard the Washington as an Operations crewman.  I did some system work where hacking was needed.

XO_Kerst says:
*SEC*: Clear Level 13 around Sickbay.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Sees someone coming closer to him with something in their hand::  Medic: GET AWAY!  ::Shoves the medic to the floor::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*TO*: Ensign Rr'Vellan, I need you in Sickbay immediately!

CNS_Alana says:
::Rushes into Sickbay just in time to see the Captain of the Challenger taking a swing at one of the medics::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Seal Sickbay now!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Runs a system’s check of his EVA suit and smiles.  Then grabs his engineer's toolkit and slowly makes his way to the shuttles doors::

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: Go.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Sees something that looks like a door - heads towards it ::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Affirmative. ::Erects forcefields around Sickbay::

CNS_Alana says:
::Grabs a hypospray from the table::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
OPS: Seal all Sickbay doors and raise forcefields!

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Did the fate of an entire race hang on your actions?

OPS_Spicer says:
CO: Already done, Sir. ::Nods at the CO::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> *CO*:, Sir, one of the people in the stasis chambers has escaped, Sir.  He's tearing up Sickbay!

Capt_Lofton says:
::Shouts:: Let me OUT! ::Pounds on the door  looking for a handle::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CSO: Yes, Sirrr!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Finds none of the original Challenger's crew names worked, tries classic astronaut names::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Security*: Have the medics sedate him immediately!

CNS_Alana says:
::Runs and tries to inject it into the neck of the Challlenger II's Captain just before he leaves the door::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: No, but the fate of a Nebula class starship and it's crew did.  After that I didn't want to be enlisted.  I wanted more responsibility so I became an officer.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Jogs out of the shuttle and hurriedly throws off the EVA suit as she heads for the door::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Bats the hypospray out of the Counselor’s hand and turns to see a beautiful angel before him ::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> *CO*: They're trying, Sir.  He's just too strong and too quick.  Should I stun him, Sir?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
XO: Commander, you have Ops, I am going to Level 13.  ::Turns and boards a turbolift::  Turbolift: Level 13.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks up to the door of the Challenger II and walks in as the TO walks out.  Stops at the doors and looks around::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Sprints for the nearest turbolift::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Enters Armstrong::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*Security*: Negative, we do not want to hurt him.  Try to isolate him in forcefields and fill them with anestizine gas.

CNS_Alana says:
::Stands in shock as the hypospray is hit out of her hand::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Moves the data on the hard drive to cover the fact that data had been written then erased::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: What's a crew of 100 compared to millions?

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Exits the turbolift and runs toward Sickbay::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Looks to the CSO and the CIV:: CSO: Hello Cal. ::Starts scanning the interior for the air conditioning system::

Host SM_Darlene says:
<Security> *CO*: Anestizine gas, Sir?  Are you sure he can handle that?

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Commander, what do you know about ancient NASA computers?

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Well of course. It was a nasty battle we were in so if not then maybe thousands but definitely not millions.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Slides into Sickbay, snarling with her fur bristling::

CIV_Townsend says:
CEO: Hello Commander, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and grins:: CSO: I am after all an engineer.  I know many computer systems.  ::Walks up:: Is there something I can do? ::Smiles with a nod and greetings to the CIV::

Capt_Lofton says:
CNS:  Get... away!  :: pushes the CNS away from him and continues looking around the room... feeling a little confused::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Leaves the turbolift and stalks down the hallway to Sickbay::

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: I can't get past this security lockout.  I've tried every combination possible and using astronaut names.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Glances around Sickbay, notices the CNS:: CNS: Ma'am? ::Tries to smooth her fur down::

Capt_Lofton says:
All: Where am I?  Whoa re you?  What’s going on here?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods and frowns a bit, more studying and thinking:: CSO/CIV: What else have you tried? ::Pulls out his tricorder::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
*OPS*: Drop the forcefield around the main entrance to Sickbay, I am entering.

CIV_Townsend says:
CEO: Whatever is inside of there, Sir, they don't want us to have it. I used every single tactic I learn at System OPS School and nothing's worked out

OPS_Spicer says:
*CO*: Affirmative. ::Drops force field::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods as he turns from the CIV and starts scanning the locking mechanism::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Stumbling, he knocks over a tray of instruments :: 

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Enters Sickbay and looks for the Counselor::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Growls under her breath and looks at Lofton::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: After he's in, reestablish that force field. We don't need our guests wandering the station.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Turning he sees the CO enter :: CO: What the heck!  What are you!?!?!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Cal?  Have you tried hot-wiring it? ::Giggles::

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Out of the question!

OPS_Spicer says:
*CO*: I am reestablished the force field now. XO: Affirmative. ::Brings up the force field again::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Notices the Captain:: CO:, Sirr?

Capt_Lofton says:
::Backs up and presses himself against the wall::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Turns::  All: Everyone except Lieutenant Torez and Ensign Rr'Vellan out now!

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Everyone in Sickbay leaves except the CNS and TO and the poor patients who were receiving treatment.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Lashes her tail and stares down Lofton::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Lofton is backed against the wall looking at a strange group of aliens: a big lizard, a big cat and a lovely woman.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs:: CSO: Aye... Just a suggestion.  ::Looks over the schematics from the tricorders analysis of the locking mechanism:: Looking over the mechanism of the locking system... ::Tries to scratch his head but his hand bumps the EVA suit::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Tries to find something to defend himself with::

CNS_Alana says:
Captain Lofton: I am a Counselor, now just try to relax.

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: It's just a simple password.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks towards the Captain very slowly, stops a few meters from him::  Lofton: It is okay, we are not going to harm you.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Erases the last audit records from the CSO's attempts to access the shuttle's computer::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles:: CSO: Have you tried to use the tricorder and PADD to interface with it then use a program to try to break the code?

Capt_Lofton says:
::Laughs loudly::  CNS:  Relax!?  I have no idea where I am but there is a giant snake and huge cat.  Relax, sure... as soon as Alice gets here.

CNS_Alana says:
::Holds out her hands toward the Captain:: Lofton: I will not hurt you, let me help you.  Why don't you have a seat and we will talk?

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Didn't want to risk it.

CNS_Alana says:
Capt L: Alice?  Who is Alice?

CIV_Townsend says:
CEO: I made the suggestion of listening to the CO and writing an entire code by itself but it was rejected, Sir

CEO_Corjet says:
CSO: How about the names of the crew? ::Enters the Captains name: "Lofton" into the lock::

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns around to see everyone gathered around her and the Captain::

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: NASA would never try that.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Snorts at being called a "cat" but shakes it off::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Tries to focus on the woman ::  CNS:  This is a dream right?  I hit my head when we lost control and this is all a dream.   Otherwise Manuel and Barbara would be here too.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle computer comes to life and displays "Good morning, Captain Lofton" on the screen.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Captain, I realize that you are very confused, but just calm down and we will explain everything.  ::Still stays a few meters back::

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Then again, we're talking about the ancient United States.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Report, is the area clear of ships?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Crosses his fingers and smiles:: CSO: Never say never. ::Gets up:: There you go.  I have to go look over the air conditioning systems.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Glances at the CO furtively ::  

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Thank you, Sir.  CIV: See if we can access the sensor records into this crate that is if the thing has sensors::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Yes, Sir. Only those vessels authorized to dock are near the station. Otherwise the area is clear.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The OPS console lights up with several angry freighter Captains annoyed at not being able to dock.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Aye, Sir. ::Goes to work trying to access the senor records::

CNS_Alana says:
::Whispers:: ALL: I think he will better respond if we don't crowd,  remember Captain I want to get him sedated again.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the rear compartment.  Then pulls open a hatch.  Looks inside and pulls a beacon out to get a better look at the air scrubbers:: CSO: No problem.  Glad to help. ::Leans in to scan the air scrubber with his tricorder::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Captain, allow me to introduce myself.  I am Captain Pavielion, Commanding Officer of this station.  This is Lieutenant Torez, our Station Counselor and this is Ensign Rr'Vellan, my Security Officer.  ::Points to his crewmembers::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Everybody needs to be within the chronoton shield, or outside the no fly zone before we can try to open that anomaly.

CNS_Alana says:
Captain Lofton: You did not answer me, who is Alice?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Works on accessing the records of whatever this crate uses for sensors::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Responds to the various freighter captains telling them that Kootenai station is currently under quarantine::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO:, Sir, I have access the shuttles records...

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Nods at Lofton when her name is mentioned, still trying to calm down as she senses her training will not be needed::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Understood.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Mumbles a response to the CNS ::  CNS: Alice in Wonderland, the book?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: What do they say?

Capt_Lofton says:
CO: Station?  Where... where am I?

Capt_Lofton says:
CO: Is this Mars?

CNS_Alana says:
::Remembers the story::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Run a diagnostic on the tachyon emitters, and their controls. I don't want any surprises.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: They are showing the last routes of the Challenger 2. This time frame doesn't appear to be off their scale. There isn't much registered info.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: not exactly Captain, you have come a bit farther than you intended.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Rubs his forehead, the anvil chorus being played in his head::  Self: Snake-men on Mars.

OPS_Spicer says:
::Notifies all ships that they must maintain a minimum of 20 km beyond the outer markers::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Does it say anything about the anomaly that the shuttle passed through?

CNS_Alana says:
Lofton: Oh, yes, Alice.  Well, she will be right along, not much time to waste. Why don't you just sit here?  ::Motions towards the biobed::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Finds minor air pollution.  Then scans the air that's currently filling the shuttle:: Self: This wont do... ::Shakes his head and pulls out the air scrubber and starts to head outside of the shuttle with it::

CEO_Corjet says:
CSO/CIV: Be right back. ::Repositions the air scrubber as he has a sonic scrubber in his other hand::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Begins the diagnostic on the tachyon emitters and the control systems::

Capt_Lofton says:
::His gaze moves to the CNS, suspicion abounding::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Yes, Sir but there is very little information on the readouts.

Capt_Lofton says:
CO:  Where is my crew?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Your vessel was caught in a subspace anomaly on its way to Mars.  You and your crew were brought here.  We took you to our Sickbay to treat you.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Well?  What does it say?

XO_Kerst says:
::Runs his simulation again, hoping for good results, also hoping the problems in Sickbay aren't that bad::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks to the CNS::  CNS: Show him, Lieutenant.

CNS_Alana says:
::Turns slightly toward CO and whispers:: CO: I don't think he is full awake and not remember this, he sees, right now what appears to him nursery rhyme characters, so if I can get him sedated again it will be good.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Lays the air scrubber out on a table then starts to clean it with the sonic scrubber quickly scanning it over the air scrubber so as to clean it a little bit:: Self: That should do it. ::Sets the sonic scrubber down and starts to scan it with his tricorder::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Very little.  Like I told you, "Unknown phenomena”  Scientific research still a requirement, “Unknown information."

Capt_Lofton says:
::Takes a chance to eye the cat creature::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Leans and whispers::  CNS: I do not think he will take to kindly to your approaching him with a hypospray, and we cannot allow him to report this when he returns.  ::Looks back to Lofton::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Great.  Nothing from their end.  Report this to Ensign Spicer.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Notices Lofton looking at her and twitches her tail, trying to look non-threatening::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Gets louder :: CO/CNS:  My crew!  Where are they?  ::Straightens up, coming back to himself a bit ::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods with satisfaction and grabs the sonic scrubber in one hand and the air scrubber in the other and heads back into the Challenger II::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Where is the OPS?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Operations

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Alana says:
::Smiles again at Captain::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over to another area of Sickbay::  Lofton: over here ::Motions for him to come look::

CIV_Townsend says:
*OPS*: I have some information to report to you.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: All tachyon systems and controls check out green, Sir.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle team gathers information from the shuttle computer and stores it in tricorders and on PADDs.

OPS_Spicer says:
*CIV*: Go ahead, Mr. Townsend.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks back into the shuttle and starts to replace the air scrubber.  Struggles a bit and then after a minute he finally gets it in:: Self: Gee...

Capt_Lofton says:
::Decides he likes his chances better with the snake so far and walks over there, keeping clear of the others::

CNS_Alana says:
::Leans in toward CO:: CO: We could just talk to him about what happened then get him to try and rest okay?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: We have them in stasis, they are perfectly all right and sleeping safe and sound.  ::Points to the two remaining chambers::

CIV_Townsend says:
*OPS*: Thank you. The Challengers read out on the anomaly were very weak, stating and I quote: "Unknown phenomena. Scientific research still a requirement. Unknown information."

Host CO_Pavielion says:
CNS: Bring up their vital signs on the wall panel, Lieutenant.

XO_Kerst says:
::Pounds his fist on the console and mutters a curse in Romulan as the simulation fails again::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Understands stasis, calming a bit now that he can see them::  CO: Why are they in stasis?

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Watches Lofton mumbling to herself:: Self: What is it about me?  Is it the claws?  ::Unsheathes her claws and looks at them::

CNS_Alana says:
::Picks up tricorder and begins to scan the Captain::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Closes up the compartment and then puts all of his tools away, making sure they’re all in their place.  Closes up his toolkit and carries it over to the CSO and CIV:: CIV/CSO: How are you two making out?

OPS_Spicer says:
*CIV*: Thank you for the update, Mr. Townsend.  ::Logs the information::

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks over to the medical console and brings up the rest of the crews vital signs::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Takes a deep breath::  Lofton: What I am about to tell you, Captain will sound very far fetched, but you will have to trust me.

CIV_Townsend says:
CEO: The sensors registered minor information on the anomaly

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: We've found out that their computer doesn't understand subspace mechanics.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Any good with temporal mechanics?

Capt_Lofton says:
::Sees the medical readouts.  While he isn't a doctor, he's been through enough tests to understand them somewhat ::

CIV_Townsend says:
*OPS*: Hopefully there is more, when there is I'll contact you again.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Turns and smiles :: CO: Any more far fetched than a walking snake-man?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Giggles:: CIV/CSO: I would have thought so.  ::Taps on the side of the console:: Good equipment but not that smart.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Motions to the wall panel::  Lofton: As you can see, Captain, your crew is perfectly normal, they are having no more than a day dream.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Sheathes her claws and moves to stand next to the CO::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Well, Sir, it wasn't my major, but I am sure that Lieutenant Taliza can help.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The shuttle team hears movement and a squeaking noise in the rear compartment of the shuttle.

CIV_Townsend says:
CEO:I didn't think their sensor could read something unknown and make scientific study of it.

CNS_Alana says:
CO: Vital signs are stable, the other stasis chambers are in perfect working order.

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: Of course.  It's from the 21st century United States.

OPS_Spicer says:
*CIV*: Affirmative.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Yeah, I hate them myself. Second worst thing in the universe.

CSO_Taliza says:
All: Did you hear that?

OPS_Spicer says:
::Grins at the XO::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Please, Captain, take a seat ::Motions to a chair:: and I will explain everything.  ::Takes a seat near a biobed::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Taps on his COM badge as he’s about to report in then quickly spins around as he hears a noise:: ALL: Aye.

CIV_Townsend says:
*OPS*: Townsend, out!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Moves toward the rear hatch::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
TO: Ensign, could you perhaps get the Captain a beverage, it might help to calm his nerves.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Crosses his arms :: CO:  I prefer to stand if you don't mind.  ::Can't believe he is actually listening to this ::

XO_Kerst says:
*CSO*: When you get done there, I need some help with these equations for reopening and controlling the anomaly.  My simulations always end with a bang.  Usually the station going bang, but I've destroyed the universe once.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pulls his phaser and sets it on minimal stun, hoping it's not a stow away::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Tilts her head and looks at Lofton:: CO: If I knew what he would like.

CNS_Alana says:
::Walks over near Lofton and stands quietly smiling, monitoring him with the tricorder and with her mind::

CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Sir, we have a possible intruder on this shuttle.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CSO opens the rear compartment and finds a menagerie of little critters in Plexiglas enclosures.  The critters are all awake and hungry.

Capt_Lofton says:
::His mouth is awfully dry.  He decides to play along :: TO:  Just water, if you have any.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the CIV:: CIV: Scan the area.  ::Points his phaser in the direction of the noise::

XO_Kerst says:
::Curses loudly in Romulan::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Very well.  ::Stands as well::  Your vessel has come a great deal farther than Mars, it also came a great deal farther into another time. ::Pauses::  Do you believe in time travel, Captain?

CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Cancel intruder alert, the cargo is awake.

XO_Kerst says:
*Security*: To the shuttle.

CIV_Townsend says:
::Looks at the panel:: CSO: What are those?

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Yellow alert.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Nods and heads to the replicator, coming back with a glass of ice water, hading it carefully to Lofton::

CNS_Alana says:
::Senses that Lofton feels he is being lied to::

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Aye. ::Activates yellow alert::

Capt_Lofton says:
::Listens, his mind clearer than before:: CO: Time travel?

XO_Kerst says:
*CSO*: Explain?

OPS_Spicer says:
ALL: All stations, yellow alert.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes his head as he sees the animals in the compartments::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Yes, Captain, do you remember anything strange happening before you woke up here?

CNS_Alana says:
Lofton: Yes time travel!  No, this is not some sort of trick.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Takes the glass and inspects it carefully.  Figures if they wanted him dead there were easier ways, takes a sip::

CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: The Challenger II's payload is small animals.

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Watches Lofton for a moment then returns to stand next to the CO::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Cancel yellow alert, err.. no, leave it up for now.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Terran rodents and other assorted animals and they’re very hungry.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The critters begin to chatter loudly as they become increasingly hungry.

Capt_Lofton says:
::Eyes the CNS warily.  There is something about her that he doesn't trust::  CO:  Everything was fine.  Barbara reported something on the scanners that she didn't recognize.  We lost control of the shuttle then I was here.  That's all I remember.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Holsters his phaser and taps on his COM badge:: *XO*: Exterior work done.  The hull is just like it was before the anomaly.  I've also serviced their air conditioning system as per the CO's orders.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: How would they have survived all this time? The poor things must be so hungry. Can I go get them some food?

XO_Kerst says:
*CSO*: Maintain quarantine of that cargo.  O not, I repeat do not let them loose.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Nods and looks to the CSO::

CSO_Taliza says:
*XO*: Aye, Sir.  ::Closes the cargo door::

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: That unusual reading on the scanners, Captain, was one of the many wonders of space, which you were in part sent to explore.  It is what we now call a temporal anomaly.  Basically, your vessel became trapped in its field and was pulled through.

CEO_Corjet says:
CSO: They might starve.  ::Sighs::

Capt_Lofton says:
CO: Pulled to where?

CNS_Alana says:
::Smiles back at the suspicious Captain Lofton but turns her attention to the monitors::

CSO_Taliza says:
CEO: I recommend we get outta here and seal off the shuttle until we return its crew here.  I also suggest we release anestazine to knock out those animals.

XO_Kerst says:
*CEO*: Good, I'm assuming its flight worthy or at least as flight worthy as something that primitive could be?

CEO_Corjet says:
CSO: That's an idea.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: We can't just leave them here to die or knock them out!  That's cruel!  I'll go get them some food.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Light years away from your position, to a place called the Demimonde System.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Smiles and nods:: *XO*: Aye, Sir.  She is indeed.  Sir, the animals seem to be hungry, maybe on the verge of starvation.  But I'm just an engineer, Sir.  Any recommendations about them?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Wait!

CNS_Alana says:
::Really wants to sedate this arrogant character::

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Listens to the CO and watches Lofton::

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: You are trying to knock out those animals, that's cruel!

Capt_Lofton says:
CO:  And what is this place?  This station?  Who are all of you? 

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: It's humane and when they wake back in their own century, the crew will be able to feed them.

XO_Kerst says:
*CEO/CSO*: If you can maintain quarantine and think you can safely feed them then do so.  However, under no circumstances will you break quarantine. If that means they starve, they starve. I'm sorry.

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: How do those emitters look?

CEO_Corjet says:
::After a bit of thought:: CSO: That might even offset any experiments they were running, another indication that someone was aboard.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: We picked up your vessel appearing through an anomaly.  This place is called Kootenai Station, a space station far out from Earth and we are all members of the United Federation Of Planets.  Earth, your home planet, is the key member of that Federation.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: That's not right.  We need to feed them here and now.  Those poor things may be in pain because they haven't eaten, Sir.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Look good, Sir.  Checks out okay.

CNS_Alana says:
::Shakes her head, does not like having the Captain awake for so long without the rest of his crew not knowing::

Capt_Lofton says:
Self:  Federation of Planets?  So we did find others?  CO: So now what?  We become part of your Federation?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: If we feed them 24th century food, it may have some adverse reactions.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Yes, far into your future, after World War III, you make first contact with another race known as the Vulcans.  The Federation then begins.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Calls up medical and transfers a scan of the animals to them.  Then asks a Medical Officer what they should be fed.  Then gets a list of things they would like to eat and the exact doses:: CSO: Looks like I'll feed them. ::Smiles as he knows Nalis, Mikayla and Emilia would love this part.  Walks over to a replicator in the bay::

XO_Kerst says:
OPS: Scan the location of the anomaly for any residual readings that might help us in reopening it.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Not if we feed them the right food, Sir. We could research into it and find out exactly what they eat and then feed them.

OPS_Spicer says:
XO: Aye. ::Begins scanning the area for any info to help in reestablishing the anomaly::

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: My guess is that only the shuttle crew would know what they are fed.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: ::Breaths deeply again::  Captain, this will be difficult to understand, but according to history, your vessel disappeared from Earth's sensors on August 8, 2010 and reappeared two days later on August 10, 2010.  Until now, no one knew where the vessel had gone.

Capt_Lofton says:
CO:  Reappeared?   But how can that be, we're here?

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Well, we can ask them. I have a funny feeling there may even be food for them here on the shuttle.  We just need to find it, Sir.

Host CO_Pavielion says:
::Looks into his eyes::  Lofton: Yes, Captain, which is why you must ::Pauses::  go back.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Comes back with a helping of food then sets it down.  Opens the hatch and looks at the containers.  Tries again to scratch his head but his hand hits the EVA suit again.  Sees a feeding door and drops some food in.  Jerks back and releases the door as the animal almost bites his finger:: Self: Hungry aren’t you?

Capt_Lofton says:
CO: Go back?  What do you mean?

Host CO_Pavielion says:
Lofton: Do you know anything of temporal mechanics?

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: I'm not willing to rummage through this shuttle just to feed those animals.  I know that may sound cruel, but think of things fourth-dimensionally!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Continues feeding the animals and wishes his children could be here for it.  Sighs as he continues:: Self: Poor babies, looks like you've been starving.

CNS_Alana says:
::Begins to wonder how she will begin to wipe the mind of the Captain clean of all the information he is now being fed::

OPS_Spicer says:
::Transmits his findings to the XO:: XO: Here are the results of the scan, Sir.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: Well, Sir, I'm not sitting back and letting you gas innocents animals! So either relieve me of my duties or do something else!

TO_Rr-Vellan says:
::Keeps her emerald eyes locked on Lofton::

XO_Kerst says:
XO: Time travel, Terrorists, Tal Shiar, I thought station life was suppose to be calm.

CSO_Taliza says:
CIV: Forget it!  Commander Corjet is taking care of it.

CIV_Townsend says:
CSO: I hope so.  CEO: Sir, please note my objection to the CSO's idea.
