Prelude: Last time on ST:ACTD Kootenai Station...

The crew transported from the planet surface to the USS San Juan and headed back to Kootenai Station to deal with the asteroid that is headed directly in the path of the station.

While en route the senior staff began going over the computer files to find any information about their new reality.  Several of them found that they had family and children in this reality that were either deceased or non-existent in their own reality.

A meeting has been called in the Captain's Ready Room to discuss their current situation and how they are going to handle the situation with the asteroid.

Time lapse: 3 minutes…

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

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Pacing in the Captain's ready room, thinking about sitting down::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Tries to read up about his wife and kids::  Self: How do I break the news to them?  "Hi, honey, I'm home, but yet, I'm not home"?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Spins in her chair in the Captain's ready room::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: People, no matter how our personal psychological state is, we need to focus. We now have a major task to fulfill.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: Kootenai Station, in this alternate universe or in our own, is number one priority.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Puts down his PADD and listens::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Nods and sits down::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: By the way, I noticed you are much too quiet.  ::Raises an eyebrow:: Did you check your personnel file?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
CO: Nya? ::Stops spinning and looks at him::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: I need your best thinking on this situation.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Looks over at the CEO::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Blinks:: CO: Why would Mai do that? Mai knows who Mai is. ::Confused look::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Wonders if the CEO has someone in this time line or if she acts more mature::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CEO: Lieutenant, we're talking about other personal information.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CEO:: CEO: Anyway...moving on, I want to hear your suggestions on the situation.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Shrugs and digs a PADD out of her jacket pocket::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Reads:: CO: Need to think of something to stop big rock....holy cow!

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Lieutenant?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Blinks:: CO: Mai is confused...there's a hubby and a kiddo?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Don't be surprised.  Remember we are caught in some sort of alternate reality.  I was wondering if you did not hear anything about it.  ::Really ironic::

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Turns his back on the crew and chuckles to himself::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Shakes his head::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Wonders how our doppelgangers are feeling right now; the other Mai must be beside herself::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: What about a tunneller?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Scratches her head and reads through the data again::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: Commander?  A tunneller?

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: Do we have time to tunnel into that rock?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: How do you suggest we do that?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Shows the photos to Kandeldandel, who just hoots and shrugs::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: A tunneller is a specialabilitical torpedo that is being of the havings of a special toolage on the tip of the warheading that upon impactage it doesn't explodings until it has done the tunnelings of a specificalage depthings of a prestted levelage.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Tries to wrestle around the extra syllables to make heads or tails of what CSO said::

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: But do we have the technology to build such a missile according to the size of the asteroid?

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Nods:: CO: Yeah, Mai knows about those.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
::Turns back to the table and glances around as the crew discusses ideas::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: My dearings Capitains, I am a scientists of the scientifical sortages. I can buildings it myself. I'll be needings to be of the makings of about 6 of them, but doings of it is easy doings of it all

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: How much of a charge do you need for the warhead, or have you figured that out yet?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CSO: My estimate, Commander as a former a tactical officer, I know what you are going to say.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
::Blinks:: CSO: Ixion can help with calculations and simulations.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Ixion?

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: I am being of the estimaticals of the boomings being about 2500 kilojewels eachings

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
CMO: I notice you are very quiet, Doctor. Anything to add to this discussion?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Taps his finger nervously over his PADD:: CSO/CEO/CTO: And how exactly are you planning to launch these missiles and from where?

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: And they will be havings to do the tunnelings of 800 footages.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: It all depends on how T`pucnamushi builds the missiles.

CMO_Cmdr_Sovok says:
CO: Well, actually, yes.  I've been wondering if the torpedoes should be fired all at once, or one after another?  Would the increased initial yield allow for more damage?

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
ALL:: And suppose this plan works, what happens after the tunnel is made?  Wouldn't it destabilize the asteroid trajectory too much?

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the COM panel:: *CO*: Sir, Kootenai Station reports that your wife and children are refusing to evacuate the station.  They are requesting instructions.  ::Drums her fingers on the edge of the Operations console::

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CTO: Havings to build the missilages I am not. Just alterings the torpedoes to haveings a higher yieldings of the boomage.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
*OPS*: Benson, please tell security personnel to ...convince them to leave the station.  No other option.  Marek, out.  ::Wonders if he sounded too cold::

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: If I understand T`pucnamushi, he wants to tunnel into the interior then the warheads would blow the asteroid to smithereens.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*CO*: Aye, Sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: I will be of the lettings you know when I am of the readyings. Runnings outages of the timage.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
CSO: Mai can help....just say what and when.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CO: Providings you are to be of the givings of the go-aheadages

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CSO: Count me in.

Host OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
COM: Kootenai Station: You are to direct security to remove the Captain's family from the station by any means.  San Juan, out!

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
ALL: And what happens if we fail?  Will we have time for a Plan B? ::Raises an eyebrow::  I do not think so.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Sir, I think if we don't destroy it, we'll knock it enough off course to miss the station.

CSO_LtCmdr_T`pucnamushi says:
CEO/CTO: I will be of the happiness to be of the acceptings of any helpages I can gettings.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
::Leans back in his chair and raises an eyebrow::

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
CTO/CSO: Goodie! Mai will bring Twinkies!

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::Rolls eyes at the bringing the Twinkies:: CEO: Just make sure you bring the tools, too.

Host CO_Capt_Marek says:
All: Okay, the missiles work, the asteroid is blown to pieces.  How do we know that one single piece of that rock will not hit the station? Remember a fragment can be the size of a continent.

CEO_LtJG_Valentine says:
CTO: Oh, of course, Mai always has tools.

CTO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: They might be able to be destroyed by a normal photon or quantum torpedoes or our phasers.
