Episode 102 "Where the Past and Future Collide, Part 3": The USS Luna, within their altered timeline, has been ordered by Admiral Adamson to track down Admiral Xavier, a Maquis terrorist, and prevent her from obtaining a biogenic weapon.  Thus, the Luna has been called away from the rift around Starbase 917, leaving the Rothchild to deal with that problem.  Twelve days each way is a long travel, taking them far from their home.  Why the Luna?  And are they destined to remain in this timeline forever?  With only the Counselor and Captain somewhat aware of the changes, what will become of them?

@::moves around the bridge pacing expectantly::
CEO_Cathorn says:
*FCO*: For now.
Colonel_Harm says:
#Com: Luna: This is Colonel Harm, Starfleet JAG core, I am in a shuttle requesting permission to land.
CEO_Cathorn says:
*FCO*: Could you give me an ETA?
Harmony says:
@Ferengi:  Tell my little man...  ::Runs her fingers along his lobes::  Where is the key to the weapon?  ::Leans close::  After all, your captain will no longer have any need of it, and neither will you.
FCO_Perrigen says:
*FCO*: Aye, around 11 and three-quarters days, sir.
XO_Turok says:
::Follows the CO into the ready room::
CMO_Jon says:
<Nurse Black> CMO: The counselor is prepped and ready for surgery.
CEO_Cathorn says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged.
CEO_Cathorn says:
*CO*: Cathorn to Captain Savar.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Once the door shuts behind them, he turns to the XO::  XO: Do you find any of this odd?
Host CO_Savar says:
::Holds up his hand for a moment::  *CEO*: Yes, Chief?
XO_Turok says:
CO: I do not understand.
Harmony says:
@::As the Ferengi relaxes into ecstasy, she reaches over and pierces his sensitive ear.  She ignores the cry of pain, waiting for him to stop.::
Colonel_Harm says:
COM: Luna: Acknowledge Please
CNS_Anuviel says:
::still dreaming of Nigel::
Host Xavier says:
@::her impatience gets the better of her this time and calls down to the brig::*Harmony*: Harmony, getting anywhere with your new toy yet?
Harmony says:
@::As he quiets, his eyes watching her every move she looks thoughtful::  Ferengi:  How many earrings can one of your... ::Sighs::  one moment.  ::Taps her comm::
CMO_Jon says:
Nurse: Thank you, ::Gets up leaning heavily on her cane.  Feels an uneasiness coming from the symbiont::
FCO_Perrigen says:
COM: Harm: Stand by.
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  Patience my friend... We have the bioweapon.  Worse comes to worse, I can make another key.  But that would take time and I would rather not waste time... ::Looks at the Ferengi::  well, at least not that way.
Host Xavier says:
@::runs her fingers along the back on the XO's chair::
FCO_Perrigen says:
*CO*: Perrigen to Captain Savar.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks at the XO, who can see a slight look of frustration from serving with him so long::  *FCO*: Yes?
Colonel_Harm says:
COM: FCO: If it would be easier you can just transport me to where ever your Captain is at the moment.
Host Xavier says:
@*Harmony*: Now don't you do anything I wouldn't do my friend. After all you don't get all the fun. ::laughter can be heard over the comm::
Harmony says:
@<Ferengi> ::Blurts out::  Harmony:  The key is made of a special alloy, you would never be able to replicate it.
FCO_Perrigen says:
*CO*: We have one Col. Harm who wants permission to board, says he's from JAG, checking his authorization now.
CMO_Jon says:
::Approaches the bio bed and looks at the scans of the counselor, relatively minor head trauma, but something isn't right::
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Sitting in the command chair::
FCO_Perrigen says:
::runs scans on the vessel, the occupant:: COM: Harm: Could you please send your authorization codes?
Harmony says:
@::A smile comes to her face::  Xavier:  Tired of your Romulan?  Anyways, I think I know how to find our key.  I will be up in a moment.
Host CO_Savar says:
*FCO*: Understood.  Speak with the OPS officer if there are any problems.  ::Closes the comm channel and looks at his XO::
Colonel_Harm says:
::Transmits authorization code, signed by the JAG himself::
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: Things are not as they should be.  The Counselor ran a tricorder scan and found temporal variations among the crew and ship.
Host Xavier says:
@::lips her lips and wonders if the Ferengi tastes as good as the Romulan did::
Harmony says:
@::Leaning over, she runs her fingers along his lobes::  Ferengi:  Thank  you.  Rest for now.  We have much to learn about you.  And I am sure Xavier would like to meet you.  ::Ignoring the terror blossoming in his eyes, she leaves the room, nodding to the guard::
FCO_Perrigen says:
::nods and motions the TO to send security:: COM: Harm: Docking cleared, please proceed to shuttle bay 2, aft bay, you are being sent coordinates and sent over to a flight operator to guide you in.  Perrigen Out.
TO_Johnson says:
::sees the FCO and sends a team to shuttle bay 2::
Harmony says:
@::With swift strides, she heads for the nearest turbolift, fastidiously wiping her hands clean::  Computer, bridge.
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Notifies Shuttle bay 2 to begin incoming procedures::  TO: Did you lower our shields to allow them in?
Colonel_Harm says:
::Does as he is instructed, landing the shuttle with expert skill::
TO_Johnson says:
::nods to the OPS::
Host Xavier says:
@::struts back to her chair and makes herself comfortable again::
XO_Turok says:
CO: Understandable given the rift we just encountered.  What are your suspicions?
FCO_Perrigen says:
::boosts engine output to warp 8 and continues to the set course::
TO_Johnson says:
::raises the shields::

ACTION: Colonel Harm's shuttle lands softly without incident.

Harmony says:
@::As the doors slide open, she nods to the officer of the day and heads to her station, a smile on her face, saying the cat got the cream::
Host Xavier says:
@::swivels in her chair to face Harmony:: Harmony: Well, playtime over for now? ::grins evilly::
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: I know not about you... but this is not my timeline.  I am torn between my oath to act as a member of Starfleet, and the Temporal Directive.  How can we be the only vessel capable of tracking down Admiral Xavier?  We are a science vessel, not a combat vessel.  We are better suited to be at Starbase 917
CMO_Jon says:
::Applies a mild stimulant to bring the CNS around, she will need consent for what she is about to do::
Harmony says:
@::Swiftly, she alters her sensors, narrowing their field of context and widening the area of search, humming an ancient lullaby under her breath::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::wakes up:: CMO: How... what... ? ::sees she is in sickbay:: Oh....
Colonel_Harm says:
::Struts through the ship, jr. officers sense his presence and quickly step out of his way::
XO_Turok says:
CO: Perhaps it is because of our long history with the traitor Xavier that Starfleet has honored us with this attempt to capture her.
Sec_Team_Leader says:
::follows on the heals of the Col. with his team close behind::
CEO_Cathorn says:
::feels a slight difference in the warp engines makes adjustments to compensate::
Harmony says:
@::Before she has a chance to start the next verse, a purr of contentment can be heard.::  Found ya...
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: We are not suited to deal with this situation.  A lone science vessel to deal with a traitor?  ::Looks out the window, seeing if even the stars are the same::
CMO_Jon says:
CNS: You took a nasty fall on the bridge, and maybe it is fortunate you did.  You have a foreign body in your head, it appears to be a computer chip of some type.
Harmony says:
@::Turns around::  Xavier:  I found it.  Unfortunately, I can't just beam out.  With your permission, I shall go explore my new toy while getting the key.
Colonel_Harm says:
::Arrives at the bridge, looks around:: Anyone: Where is your Captain?
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: As long as I get to go along. ::grins::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::furrows her brow:: CMO: Strange.....how did it get there?
Host OPS_Chris says:
Col: Captain Savar is in his ready room, with orders not to disturb him.
XO_Turok says:
CO: So...it is fear you are feeling, not suspicion.
CMO_Jon says:
CNS: I was about to ask you the same question?
CEO_Cathorn says:
::growls under his breath as he taps more commands to compensate for the stress on the engines:: Self: What do they expect down here miracles?
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  You are always welcome, but I thought you might like to reward our Ferengi for giving me the answer to the puzzle.
Colonel_Harm says:
::Walks over to the ready room and rings the chime::
XO_Turok says:
CO: I am not afraid of Xavier, she is a traitor and nothing more.
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: I honestly have no idea.... ::feels violated, her eyes dart around as she searches her memory::
TO_Johnson says:
::wonders about the Harm character::
Host CO_Savar says:
XO: We still must deal with the fact that we are not all from this timeline... we need to return to the rift.
Harmony says:
@::Checking her weapons, she waits for Xavier's pleasure::
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: But don't you want to finish what you started? After all, you have that special touch.
XO_Turok says:
::Despite his statements, feels there may be some truth to what Savar is saying...some things do not "feel" right.::
Colonel_Harm says:
::Rings the chime again growing impatient::
Harmony says:
@::Chuckles then sighs::  Xavier:  Yes, but it seems your name brings that special look to their eyes more then mine does.  Either way, lets be off.  I want to get this done before any more surprises show up.  ::Leans forward::  And I heard the Orions are preparing a slave action and we have an open invitation.
XO_Turok says:
CO: Cap... I mean Admiral Adamson charged me personally with tracking down the traitor Xavier.  Now you wish to disobey her orders?  I will need more than simply your "feelings".
CMO_Jon says:
CNS: With your permission, I would like to attempt to remove it.
Host Xavier says:
@::walks by a security officer and snatches his phaser:: Self: Not as nice as my own but it will suffice. Harmony: Now that's my cup of tea. Let's get this over with.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Narrows his eyes::  XO: You began to call her Captain.  ::Then thrusts the tricorder towards the XO::  XO: And this is your proof.  The temporal resonance frequencies are different between all of us.
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: Do we know what it does?
XO_Turok says:
::Takes the tricorder and begins looking over the readings.::
Harmony says:
@::Stepping over to Xavier, placing her within the transporter range, she taps the button on her bracelet, waiting for the odd sensation of displacement.::
CMO_Jon says:
CNS: I doubt we can determine function without extracting it, I would be lying to you if I said this was without risk.
CNS_Anuviel says:
::nods:: CMO: Well I guess we'd better remove it... because as far as I know... it isn't doing me any good up there...
Colonel_Harm says:
Computer: Authorization Harm Omega 24 niner, emergency override under the authority of the Judge Advocate General, open the door to the captains ready room

ACTION: The door to the ready room remains closed.

CMO_Jon says:
CNS: Agreed, then back you go to sleep, pleasant dreams
Harmony says:
@::Arriving in the captain's very luxurious quarters she looks around with a smile;: Xavier:  I think I am going to like this room.  But I still fail to understand why the fool didn't just sell the weapon instead of trying to cheat.  ::Walks over toward a large dressing mirror.::
CNS_Anuviel says:
CMO: I was dreaming of someone named Nigel.... do you know him?
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Can't help but snicker at the Colonel::
Host Xavier says:
@::sighs loudly:: Harmony: Make yourself at home. Only the best for the best. ::smiles::
CMO_Jon says:
::Feels a sudden twinge from the symbiont at the mention of his name, but its too late as she places the hypo on the CNS neck and hears the familiar hiss::
XO_Turok says:
CO: ::grunts::  I admit, these readings do look strange.  I am no scientist, so I do not fully understand their meaning.  However, for now, you are the captain, and therefore the decision is yours to make.  I will not hinder you.  If, however, Admiral Adamson decides you are unfit for command, I will lead this vessel to glory, apprehending Xavier.
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: Some fools never learn. ::starts rifling through another chest of drawers::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Narrows his eyes at Turok::  XO: Yes, Lieutenant Commander.  I am still the Captain.  ::Contemplates for a moment::  We will continue with our orders, as they are valid.
Colonel_Harm says:
OPS: Walks over to the OPS officer, you see these birds on my uniform, in case you didn't know that makes me the superior officer at the moment.  You will open those doors or face charges of insubordination.
Harmony says:
@::Sliding her hand curiously along the mirror, her fingers find a nick.  The sound of a catch can be heard.  Turning toward the sound, she watches as a panel slowly opens below Xavier's head::  Would you like the honor my friend?
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Swallows::  Col: I can't override my Captain's orders, and neither can you, sir
CEO-Cathorn says:
::watches the readings on the warp engines::
Host Xavier says:
@::walks back to the mirror and pulls it forward and to the side:: Harmony: Well what do we have here my friend?
Colonel_Harm says:
::Hand over a PADD with the JAG's signature on it:: OPS: But a blooming Admiral can, now open the door.
XO_Turok says:
CO: Very well.  Are we done here?
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Cautiously takes the PADD,  scans it, and hands it back::  Col: I'm sorry, sir, I don't see the "open the doors" command.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  XO: I want this capture to go flawlessly.  Then we will return to the rift, and correct the timeline.
Harmony says:
@::Not tall enough to look over her shoulder she looks along the side::  Xavier:  Careful... it could be a bobby trapped.
XO_Turok says:
CO: As do I.  We will be victorious.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods again, and walks out the doors, and sees the visitor on the Bridge::  Col: And you are?
Host Xavier says:
@::turns a small knob and watches as the heavy door opens:: Harmony: Piece of cake.
Harmony says:
@::Pulling out her scanner, she runs it lightly over the area::  Xavier:  Odd... most odd...  There appears to be another opening here.  Just below this one.
XO_Turok says:
::Exits the ready room and goes to get an update on their situation and position, sees the stranger on the bridge and makes a note to speak with Tactical about allowing unauthorized people onto the bridge.::
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: Find the access point.
Colonel_Harm says:
CO: Colonel Nicholae Harm, I will be your liaison officer from the Judge Advocate Generals office on this little hunting expedition.
Host CO_Savar says:
Col: I was not aware of any such liaison being needed.  We are to apprehend a traitor; where would your assistance be needed?
Host Xavier says:
@::moves back to let Harmony closer::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::begins to fall back:: Nigel... ::hits the biobed "thump"::
Harmony says:
@Hmmm...  ::Finding an energy line, very faint, she begins to trace it to another location on the mirror, near the bottom, at a Ferengi's height.::  Xavier:  Perhaps not so dumb.  ::Triggering the catch, she looks up to see another panel open.::  I just love puzzles.
Colonel_Harm says:
CO: I have been chasing Xavier half way around this galaxy and back, I will be there to insure justice, and a fair trial. ::smiles:: If you understand my meaning.  ::Hands him the orders from the JAG::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  Col: We will be holding the trial here?
Host Xavier says:
@::pulls out a small dagger from her sleeve and plays with it. Harmony: Careful my friend, I smell a rat.
Harmony says:
@::Wrinkles her nose::  Xavier:  I never was one to play with rats.  I liked personal testing.  ::Steps back to allow Xavier access::
Colonel_Harm says:
CO: I am authorized to do so, or to see that she is ::pauses:: safely brought back to Starfleet Command. ::looks to the Klingon, knowing a warrior will know what he means::
Host Xavier says:
@::smiles and moves closer:: Harmony: Let's try this. ::taps three corners of the panel and then the center::
Host CO_Savar says:
Col: I see.  Find yourself a seat, and make yourself useful while you're on the Bridge, Colonel.  ::Turns to the Operations Officer::  OPS: Open a communications channel back to Starbase 917,  get me Admiral Adamson.
CMO_Jon says:
*CO*: Captain this is CMO Jon, I wish to inform you that I will be performing a delicate neuro surgery on CNS to remove what appears to be a computer chip lodged in her brain, try to keep the ride from getting too bumpy if you please.

ACTION: The panel begins to beep and then slides open.

Harmony says:
@Ohhh... Xavier:  Been reading those mystery books again, haven't you?  ::Smiles as the panel opens::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::dreaming of Nigel::
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: Just an old Ferengi trick I saw once.
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Works on getting a connection to Starbase 917::  COM: SB917: Admiral Adamson, this is the Luna, come in please.
Colonel_Harm says:
CO: Thank you, I prefer to stand.  ::Walks to the back of the bridge where he can survey the bridge and her crew, gets an uneasy feeling of nostalgia, but since he knows he has never been on the Luna before lets it pass::
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  And here I thought you didn't know much about the Ferengi.  ::Looking around the room.::  What's are next step?  I don't want to leave this baby just lying about unattended.  Do we work from our base or did you have another point for our operation?
Host CO_Savar says:
::Thinks the Colonel did not get his jist::  *CMO*: I'll see what I can do.  Good luck, Doctor.
CMO_Jon says:
::Watches as a nurse takes a medical shaver and removes the specified section of the CNS's hair::
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: I have a plan in mind. I expect by now someone is trying to reach the rift. Now we can't allow that can we? ::smirks::
Host OPS_Chris says:
::Still trying::  COM: SB917: Admiral Adamson, this is the Luna, please come in.
Adm_Adamson says:
#::With a sigh, turns to answer the comm::  COMM: Luna, this is Adamson.  What do you need?
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: SB917: Information, perhaps.  You failed to mention a Marine Colonel from the JAG office that would be joining us.
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  Hmmm... then perhaps we should take both ships.  I can have some of my people fly this one using that new cloaking device as a backup.
CMO_Jon says:
::Picks up a laser scalpel, and approaches her patient:: Computer, activate medical restraints as prescribed for neurological surgery.
Host Xavier says:
@::slaps Harmony on the back:: Harmony: I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Adm_Adamson says:
#COMM:  Luna, I give the information that is needed as it is needed.  ::Sighs::  Besides, JAG tends to do things in their own time.  ::Leans forward::  Word of warning Captain, they are a pain in the ass, but they are more so if you get on their bad side.  They can make Xavier look sweet.
Harmony says:
@::Steps close::  Xavier:  Then lets get going.  I really want to make the Orion action for my Vulcan.  ::Taps her bracelet, and the two find themselves back on the austere, though very comfortable bridge of their ship.::
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: SB917: And why us?  And why only us?  A lone science ship facing overwhelming odds... not a likely winning situation, Admiral.
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: Now let's take care of our Ferengi friend. His usefulness is now at an end.
CMO_Jon says:
::After a few very careful cuts, Jon removes a small portion of bone, and can visually see the computer chip.::
Adm_Adamson says:
#COMM:  Luna:  Because Captain, that would be the last thing they expect.  It is not weapons and might that is needed, it is cunning and knowledge that will win over Xavier and her henchwoman.
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  Put that key away in your safe and I shall meet you in the guest quarters with our your guest cleaned and waiting.
Host CO_Savar says:
COM: SB917: Then is it that knowledge that I need.  You have told us little, and we know virtually nothing.  How are we to succeed?
Host Xavier says:
@Harmony: No need to go to all that trouble. ::smiles and heads towards the nearest com link: Security: We have a leak near airlock two. Send the Ferengi to fix it, oh and forget the EVA suit.
Adm_Adamson says:
#COM: Luna:  What exactly do you think you need captain?
CMO_Jon says:
:: Careful lifts the computer chip, while monitoring the CNS bio signs.  Using a cauterizing scalpel begins to sever the bioelectronic connections that attach the chip to the brain::
Harmony says:
@Xavier:  Your getting soft these days.
XO_Turok says:
::Hears Adamson's reply and sighs.  They are truly dead men.::
Host Xavier says:
@::takes the key and throws it in the air:: Harmony: I like a happy ending don't you?
Harmony says:
@::Laughing, heads off the bridge::
CNS_Anuviel says:
::dreaming of Nigel until she wakes::
CMO_Jon says:
:: places the chip into a specimen dish, and begins to close the surgical site, replacing the bone plate::
