Host SM_Darlene says:
Prelude: Last time on ST:ACTD Kootenai Station…

The team entered into the pyramid and found several glyphs lining the walls.  The glyphs matched those found on the outside of the pyramid.

CSO T'pucnamushi broke away from the group and moved further into the pyramid and found a room with a round table with several artifacts on it and surrounded by chairs.

Doctor T'Mar carefully packed up the artifacts and put them into his backpack for further study then began inspecting a strange stone structure in the corner of the room.  The structure was about six feet tall by three feet wide, looking similar to a full-length mirror frame without a mirror.

Shortly after tricorders among the crew began beeping, detecting a slight energy signature coming from the stone structure and a matching one from one of the artifacts in T'Mar's backpack.

As soon as Doctor Sovok discovered which of the artifacts was emitting the energy signature, Doctor T'Mar unknowingly depressed what looked like a button on the device, which activated the stone structure.

For a few seconds a flash of bright light filled the room and the crew disappeared then reappeared in the same room only the chairs, table and all the artifacts, including the device T'Mar was holding were gone.

CTO Masters stepped out of the room to discover that Bravo security team was also gone.

Doctor T'Mar suggested that the team vacate the pyramid and inspect the surrounding area.

Time lapse: 1 minute…

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

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Divides Able team into three squads to spread out and search the area::

Host T’Mar says:
::Follows the teams out of the pyramid, shining his beacon along the walls of the corridor::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Staying at the CO's side::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Lead the way, Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Moves out of the room, signaling the rest of the officers to follow the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  Able team: Once we exit the pyramid, Able 1 is with me to head toward the camp, Able 2 goes southeast and Able 3 goes due west.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::His hearts is pounding, his mind trying to find a logical explanation for this::

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: As the teams move through the corridor nothing appears to be any different.  All the glyphs still line the walls.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: I will lead the Able 2 with Dr. Sovok. CSO, Dr. T'Mar, you will go with Able 3.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Keeps glancing down at his tricorder and back up at the walls. Looks up and nods::

Host T’Mar says:
::Nods to the CTO::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO/T'Mar: Fascinatings this is being. Whying has nothings been changeded but the tables and chairs being of the disappearings.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Hopefully we can find Charlie team at the camp.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: And our Bravo Team as well

Host T’Mar says:
::Looks down at the CSO:: CSO: Indeed, Commander...but we cannot forget that Bravo Security team is also missing.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Trues.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: Let's proceed as the CTO indicated, we will rendezvous back at the camp in ten minutes.

Host T’Mar says:
::Nods at the CO and continues along the corridor::

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: The teams approach the entrance/exit to the pyramid.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Opens his tricorder, checks his phaser, and moves to the gate::

Host T’Mar says:
All: Ahh...there is light up ahead.  ::Picks up his pace::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: OK, folks, let's go.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: The interestings thing of it all is being that if theys were beings here, and now they have disappeareds, then they must have gone to theres. The question that is remaineded is "Where is there?".

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: The teams exit the pyramid and hold position to allow everyone to exit.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Turns to the doctor:: CMO: Any particular suggestion, Doctor?

Host T’Mar says:
::Nods to the CSO:: CSO: Indeed, Commander...where IS there?

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: Then agains, perhaps they are not disappeareded from where we were, but we are the ones being the doings of the disappearings from them, maybes huh?

Host T’Mar says:
::Squints as his eyes adjust to the outdoor light and stands, waiting for Able 3 team to lead they way West.

Host T’Mar says:
::Looks down at the CSO and raises an eyebrow:: CSO: What exactly are you suggesting, Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
Able 2 Team: Let's proceed to the southwest, Gentlemen.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Able 1: Head to the camp!

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: Doctor, I assume you are very concentrate on your analysis of the situation, right?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Rises an eyebrow::

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: Everyone splits up into their assigned teams as they head out in different directions.  Nothing outside the pyramid seems to be any different.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
Able 2: Remember, we have ten minutes to inspect the southwest road to the Camp.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: Suggestings that we are the ones who are beings of the telepotereds or stepped through a portal or whatever that was of being back there.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Walks firmly scanning the whole area::

Host T’Mar says:
CSO: But we did not step into anything.  ::Nods to the CSO and moves out with Able 3::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: What's is that Earth phrased...."Throughed the Lookings Glass" as it were being?

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
CO: Excuse me Sir? I didn't quite hear you.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Tricorder in one hand, the other one ready to reach the phaser holster, just as a good old former CTO would do::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: I asked if you have any particular suggestion on this situation.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Leads Able 1 to the campsite, about five mintues out now::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
CO: Sir, I'm at a complete loss... I mean... I'm a doctor... not an inter-dimensional location-shifting scientist.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
::Following T'Mar:: T'Mar: Maybes we didn't...but thens agains maybe we did inadvertentlies when we are being surroundeds by the light

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: Three teams set out in different directions, each scanning and scouting the area looking for any clues as to the whereabouts of Bravo team and anything else that is different than before.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: This is quite... ::Rises an eyebrow:: fascinating and mind confusing situation... However, we both know that there must be a logical explanation for it.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Continues walking::

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: As Able 1 approaches the campsite location they notice that there is no signs of the camp.  No tents, no shelters, no crates or supplies lying about.  There is nothing.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
Able 2: Open your eyes, ears and sixth sense, people. We need to find out what happened here.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Looks over at the CO:: CO: Well, Sir... I suppose you're right... however... I'm failing to find any logic in our current situation. But then again... I'm not exactly an expert.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: Able 1 to Able 2, we've arrived at the coordinates of the campsite, but...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: For your voice... it bad news, isn't it?

Host T’Mar says:
CSO: This is definitely a curious situation...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Shakes his head, like saying "I knew it"::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.  There's no sign a camp even existed here.

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: Able 2 and 3 proceed as ordered but find nothing out of the ordinary in their assigned areas.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*CO*: We're either in the past, or in a different dimension, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Bit expression on his face:: *CTO*: We will be there in a couple of minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*CTO*: That is the big question. Marek out.

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: Able 3 turns and heads back to the campsite as ordered.

Host T’Mar says:
TIME WARP: 5 minutes

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
T'Mar: Agreeds.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Arrives at the Camp with the Doctor and Able 2 team, still clueless as they were ten minutes ago::

Host T’Mar says:
::Approaches the camp location with Able 3 and notices his tent and everything else is gone.  Carefully inspects the ground for footprints or any indication that the camp existed::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Begins to have slight, personal panic attacks::

Host T’Mar says:
CO: It would seem that from the lack of prints on the ground and other indications...or rather lack of indications...the campsite is not where we left it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO/T'Mar: Sirs, it seems as though this is virgin land.

Host T’Mar says:
CTO: If you mean that the campsite never existed, I agree.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar: Agreed. The point is, as the CTO suggested, if we travel back on time, or through a dimension portal. We need to find a way to have that answer

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Also, as if we've never been here until just now.

Host T’Mar says:
CTO: Are you sure these are the coordinates of the camp?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Shows the archaeologist his tricorder:: T'Mar: It's as correct as correct can be.

Host T’Mar says:
::Moves to another position and looks towards the pyramid for a moment:: CO: It seems like the correct coordinates.  I can see the pyramid in the distance.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: The most confusing aspect is the lack of differences between the place as we left it this morning, except for the disappearance of the furniture in the room and our camp.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Approaches to T'Mar:: T'Mar: Indeed.

Host T’Mar says:
CO: Let us not forget the rest of the people on my science team...Doctor Rudd and his team as well.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Are we of beings in the right place?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar: Of course.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Takes a lifesign reading::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: The place is right... However I am not sure if the time is right also... ::Frowns::

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: There are no other life sign readings except for those in the supposed campsite.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I only read 16 humanoid readings and one owl.  It seems we're the only ones here.

Host T’Mar says:
::Moves to another position and glances over to the ruins:: CO: The ruins are in the correct place...this has to be where the campsite was...::Voice trails off::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Time? Like we being time travellings somewhered?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Overhears the CTO tricorder beeping:: CTO: Not even one vegetal life form either?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: That we are trying to find out, Commander We do not know nothing for sure.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar: Doctor?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I'm only taking readings for animal life signs that are not native to this planet.

Host T’Mar says:
::Turns back to the CO:: CO: Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
T'Mar: By the your tone of your voice, I guess you were about to add something.  Nevermind.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Tries to take an astrometrical reading::

Host T’Mar says:
CO: Add something...no..no..I was just worried about Doctor Rudd and my people..

Host T’Mar says:
ACTION: The CTO's astrometrical readings all read normal.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
T'Mar: Doctor, I think it is Dr. Rudd and your people and our Bravo and Charlie teams who will be worried about us.  The astrometrical readings show normal, so we didn't go back or forward in time.

Host T’Mar says:
CTO: Well, at least we know we are not time traveling.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
T'Mar: Yes, Sir.  We just slipped to another dimension.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: So, everything is normal... So could someone or something just make everything disappear, and cover its tracks so perfectly that we cannot find out of that?

Host T’Mar says:
CTO: Another dimension?  ::Ponders that thought a moment:: No, I do not agree.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO/T'Mar: It's the only logical conclusion.  It's almost like that old Robert Carroll story, "Through the Looking Glass," or maybe even like what happened to Kirk's Enterprise crew.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Which leads me to do one thing... ::Taps his COM badge:: *San Carlo*: This is Captain Marek. Please respond.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Heart pounding::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@::Tilts her head to one side then hits the COM panel on the Operations console:: *CO*: This is Lieutenant Commander Benson aboard the USS San Juan, Captain.  ::Thinks: San Carlo?::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Hears the COM:: All: San Juan?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*San Carlo*: Benson? USS San Juan? What are you talking about? ::Glances at the rest of the crew::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Affirmative, Captain.  ::Looks puzzled as the rest of the bridge crew turns their heads in puzzlement::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Is there something we can do for you?  Is everything okay down there?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, if that's not the San Carlo orbiting here, and we're the only ones in this area, then where the heck are we?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*San Carlo*: This is awkward. Last time I checked my ship name was San Carlo. And no, nothing is okay, Commander

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: That is what I would like to know... ::Begins to lose his regular calm::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Something is not right...what has happened to you down there, Captain?  Everything is normal up here and sensors are not picking up anything out of the ordinary.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: May I talk to this Benson lady?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*San Carlo* ... or *San Juan*: That the extraordinary thing, Commander Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary, however. Let me check one thing... What is the name of our Station?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: Just a minute, Commander

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: The name of our station, Sir?  ::Wonders what has happened to the Captain:: Kootenai Station, Sir.  ::Shrugs at the rest of the bridge crew::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*San Carlo/San Juan*: Well at least something remains the same...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: What do you want to say, Cmdr?

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: The same, Sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*OPS*: Commander Benson, this is Lieutenant Commander Masters, chief tactical officer of Kootenai Station.  We beamed down on this planet with three security teams and a full camp.  We went into a room in the nearby pyramid...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*San Carlo/San Juan*: If you check the sensor readings, I am sure you will only detect 16 of us... But two days ago, we were a whole detachment when we beamed down the surface...

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*OPS*: We had at least 50 people here, and now we're down to 16 people and one owl.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Sardonic:: All: Oh, right I forgot about the owl

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Can't forget Kandeldandel.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: But, Sir...I personally checked and double-checked the away team roster...only 16 people were beamed down to the surface.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Nods to the CTO::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: And according to our sensors there are still 16 people on the surface.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Shocked to hear who beamed down::  *OPS* Could you send me a duty roster of those who beamed down onto my tricorder?

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CTO*: Sure...sending the data now....::Taps her console::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Starts to receive information::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The data appears on the CTO's tricorder and only sixteen names appear on the screen.  Every person on the planet surface is accounted for on the roster.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: This is oddings. The San Carlo is now the San Juan? And insteads of beings 50 peoples beameds down there was only 16? Am I missings me somethings arounded heres?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Has a confuzzled look::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*OPS*: before we get nuts... or you take us for a bunch of lunatics, perform a full scan of the surface. Search for any abnormal readings.

Host SM_Darlene says:
<T'Mar> CO: If I may...could you check to see if the Astral is still here?

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Right away, Sir.  ::Motions for the science department and tactical department to begin scans of the surface::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*OPS*: Benson, is Doctor T'Mar ship in orbit? The Astral?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, it seems the only ones who beamed down here were the 16 of us.  It doesn't list Kandeldandel, though.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: The Astral, Sir?  ::Quickly inputs the name into the ship's computer and searches the database:: *CO*: There are no ships with that name in the database, Sir.  Doctor T'Mar arrived here with the rest of us on the San Juan, Sir.  ::Shakes her head::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CTO: That's a progress. There is an inconsistence in that roster that can prove we are right.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*OPS*: I bet you were going to say that... ::Glances at T'Mar::  Search the transporter log for an owl beamed down to the surface with us...

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
*OPS*: Commander Benson, did an owl accompany our engineer?

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO/CTO*: Affirmative.  The owl belongs to Lieutenant Valentine.  Sensors are picking up one animal life form...the owl.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Sir, ship's sensors are not detecting anything on the surface out of the norm.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, I think that we may have switched places with doppelgangers.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Capitains. Askings him about the sciences officers?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::If this were a movie, a suspense music would be in the background:: CTO: Gentlemen, we are facing quite a dilemma right now ::Raises an eyebrow::

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@*CO*: Sir, I think it wise to beam back to the ship.  We can have the medical department check you out.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Looks around, on the brink of complete mental breakdown... tries to compose himself::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: I am afraid we will get the same answer...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*OPS*: I think it will be our only choice for the moment... Beam back aboard the San Carlo, I mean... the San Juan... to see if we can make heads and tails of this...

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: Suggestions.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
@::Orders a medical team to the transporter room and motions for tactical to send security teams, giving them orders to hold the away team there:: *CO*: Acknowledged.  All away team members prepare for transport.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
