Summary
With the crew in the right time reality and on the right ship, the captain called the senior staff to his ready room to find away home.  Counselor Varesh suggested he went back to the planet to talk to the Obelisk.  He took SO Rose with him.  Meanwhile the Captain headed to engineering to check out a theory.  He wanted to simulate the same explosion that brought them here.  Back on the planet the counselor has talked to the Guardian of the Obelisk.  The Guardian told the counselor that if he was to bring the Nighthawk back, all he was to do was dream of the ship and put it back in the right reality.  With that said Varesh walked back to Rose and told her not to speculate while near the Obelisk.  Is there an answer within the Obelisk?  Or is it within blowing up the ship?  Find out next week.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CO's Log SD 10305.29: After searching for several hours the away team has finally been found.  I have yet a chance to ask them what has happened, however there will be plenty of time for that later.  Now that the crew is back together, we can start thinking of a way out of this universe.  Hopefully for good…

::wanders the corridors of the ship, pondering the situation they are in at the moment.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sitting in his quarters spending some time with his daughter::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::ends up on the bridge without realizing it and stands gazing at the view on the main viewer.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sitting in the messhall, sipping from his pineapplejuice::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::files some data padds away:: *Ship Wide Call*: Would all the Senior Staff please meet me in my Ready Room in 10 minutes
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Slowly downs the last of his juice, gets up and heads for the door::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks at the ready room doors and smiles to himself, taking a seat at one of the consoles to wait and study the data they have on the planet below.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up from the crib, then looks down. Then heads out to the bridge::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Enters the TL:: TL: Ready Room.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::checks to see how long they were "absent" from this dimension::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads for the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::sits at his desk thinking about exactly what he is going to say to his staff when they arrive::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Exits the TL and walks to the bridge to pick up a padd::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises his eyebrow at the information scrolling over the screen:: Self: Almost two weeks?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks onto the bridge, takes a look around.  Making sure everything ok::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Heads to the Ready Room::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Enters the bridge, noticing Varesh and nods at him, suddenly noticing his raised eyebrow:: CNS: Hello counselor, anything wrong?
SO_Rose says:
::Finishing up the report as the first officer arrives, she calls out.::  XO:  Sir, would you like to take the science report with you?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Stops:: SO: Sure.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: CTO: I was just amazed to see how long we were "gone" from this dimension. I'm surprised the Captain waited so long.
SO_Rose says:
::Stands up and walks over to him, handing him the padd with the report.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks up and takes the report. Glances over it:: SO: Thank you.
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Shrugs:: CNS: How long has it been then? I can´t say I´ve taken the time to check yet, I needed a break..
SO_Rose says:
::Smiles::  XO:  Your welcome sir.
SO_Rose says:
::Turns and goes back to her station.::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::waits for the senior staff to enter his ready room::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: Almost two weeks. ::spots Sid and nods as he walks over to where they are waiting to go into the ready room::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS/CTO: Counselor, Lieutenant.
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Chimes the door::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Frowns:: CNS: Two weeks? Good Lord! ::Sees Varesh move and decides to follow him::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hears the door chime:: Outloud: Enter!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CTO: That was my reaction. ::enters the room with the two other officers.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks in:: CO: Captain.  ::Drops off a padd on his desk:: Here is a report from science.
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Follows the XO and CNS in, looking around to locate the captain::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::takes the report:: XO: Thank you Commander
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods to the Captain and moves to one of the seats in the room:: CO: You called for us, sir?
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO/CNS/XO: Gentlemen, as you may or may not know, you and the rest of the away team were gone for nearly 2 weeks.  And I don't mind telling you that I was this close to abandoning the search.... ::makes a gesture at just how close he came::
SO_Rose says:
::With a sigh, looks toward the captain's ready room wondering if they were finally going to come up with something that would get them home.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I appreciate you waiting for us, sir. ::gives a small smile::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO/CNS/XO: It has been months since we've been trapted in this universe and the crew's morale is decreasing as such.  Therefore I'm going to put this bluntly.  It's time to go home!
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Listens to what the CO has to say::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: Amen!
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson> SO:  Now that they are back, perhaps we might get back around to getting home.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO/CNS/XO: I want three situations that we may be able to get home by the end of the day!  Work with each department, let's find a way home!!
SO_Rose says:
TO:  Don't be so impatient.  If we weren't so busy with the idea of getting home, we might actually enjoy this place.  Think about it.  There is so much here unexplored.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CTO/CNS/XO: Any questions?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: CO: No Questions.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::nods and looks at the CNS and CTO::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: If I may, Captain. Reports show that this planet used to be inhabited... a long time ago. And I suspect that even though there is no physical Guardian, we can still communicate with the Gate directly. It is a direction we can investigate.
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  SO:  Yea... right.  No Risa, no home port, no home, no family, no...  ::Stops as Rose glares at him, lifting her hand.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Shakes head, while Varesh speaks::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS: Persue that angle Commander...take an away team down to the planet and let me know how it turns out!  Ohh...and do me a favor!  Don't get yourselves lost again!!
SO_Rose says:
TO:  Have you no excitement about exploring the unknown?  We are Starfleet officers... we are here for the adventure, for the love of exploration.  ::Her eyes light up.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: CO: Aye, sir. On all counts.
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  ::Disgusted::  SO:  I am here to protect this ship and getting us home is part of that job.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
CNS/CTO/XO: Very well...let's get to business!  If anyone needs me I'll be in Engineering, trying to get our first plan better odds
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Aye.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: CO: Aye, sir.
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Gets onto his feet again, still holding the unused padd::
SO_Rose says:
::Shakes her head::  TO:  With all those people out there dying to get aboard a starship, you don't even appreciate your being here!
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::stands up from his desk and grabs the science report and the engineering report and walks out of his ready room::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks over to the door and leaves the ready room::
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson> ::Temper already frayed, he just barely stops from yelling at her.::  SO:  Yea... I am here to see that innocents like you don't mess up the galaxy.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hears Rose's words as he enters the brige:: SO: And do YOU appreciate what you have here?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks out and onto the bridge::
SO_Rose says:
::Huffs, stopping just in time as the counselor comes in.::  CNS:  Yes sir.  I do.  We haven't even begun.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::walks to the turbolift and waits a few seconds to see if anybody else needs the turbolift before ordering it to Main Engineering::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow at Thompson:: TO: There are so many answers I can give you to that statement, I just wonder if you would appreciate it. ::smiles at Rose:: SO: Well, how does a trip to the surface sound, to go do more investigating of that obelisk?
SO_Rose says:
::Her eyes widdening she smiles and stands.::  CNS:  It sounds wonderful... ::just barely stops from sticking her tongue out at the TO::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sits in the Command chair and watches in on the Counselor::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head:: SO: Then off we go. ::heads to the turbolift::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Exits the ready room and walks over to the tactical station:: TO: Carry on, I just thought I´d check here, see wether I remember how all this looked like.. ::Grins::
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan> ::Crawls out from under the main console and stands to do some minor adjustments.::
SO_Rose says:
::Grabbing her tricorder, dashes after the counselor.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: Counselor, keep an open Commlink.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::hums as the turbolift races towards Main Enginnering::
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  CTO:  In too many ways... by the way sir, I didn't get a chance to welcome you back.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
XO: Aye, sir. If needs be I'll give you a mental holler. ::enters the TL with Rose and orders it to TR1::
SO_Rose says:
::Excitment lights her eyes as she stands nervously next to the Commander Varesh.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Smiles:: TO: Thank you, Mark... How have you been holding up without us?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
SO: Have you been to the surface at all? ::speaks as the doors open and he lets her precede him::
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan> *XO*:  Sir, I don't suppose you are too busy?
SO_Rose says:
CNS:  No sir... I was needed on the ship.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::exits the turbolift and walks down the cooridors towards ME::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Turns his attention forward, pulling out a padd:: *EO*: What do you need?
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson> CTO:  It has been rough sir.  There were arguements about leaving you or not and some even wanted to follow you... wherever you went.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::walks along the corridor:: SO: Well, I'm going to inspect the obelisk again, and see if that is a means to return to our own dimension. ::lets her precede him into the TR::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: Lieutenant, mantain a sensor lock on the away team.
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan> *XO*:  We are having some slight problems with alignments down here.  Nothing serious, more annoying... but I was wondering if you could come and lend your expertise.  Perhaps I am missing something.
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*EO*: Sure, I am on my way.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::enters Main Engineering to be greeted by several of the Engineering staff::  Engineers: Allright people let's get to work!  ::pulls out the engineering report and begins to go over what went wrong with the first test::
SO_Rose says:
::Entering the transporter room, she steps up to the padd::  CNS:  I thought it was inspected... well, everywhere but inside.  Rumors are they were afraid to do so because that appeared to be how you vanished.
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CTO: You have the bridge.  Keep me apprised on the away teams progress. ::Gets up and heads for the TL::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: TO: Yeah, we´re bound to get those things... But our captain is a very wise man, he did the right think... ::Hears the XO:: XO: Aye sir... ::Turns back to Thompson:: TO: You heard the man.... Anyway, as I was saying.. Captain Anderson did the right thing... I don´t like leaving colleagues behind, and neither does he, apparently...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
SO: As well it should have been. I have gained a bit of knowledge about this obelisk in the meantime.  TR Chief:Put us near the obelisk please.
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan> CO:  Sir... Commander Monroe will be down to help me out with some alignments, but over all, everything seems to be fine.
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  CTO:  Now to get us home.  I don't suppose you know of anything new?
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Steps away from tactical 1 and heads for the big chair, sits down and turns it to face tactical again::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
TL: Main Engineering.

ACTION:  CNS and SO find themselves on the planet about 10 meters from the oblesk.

Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
EO: All the better, for the tests we'll be running on the explosion that occured in here.  Hopefully we can safely recreate that explosion and send us back
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
TO: Well, we´ve come across some kind of Obelisk in the dimension we were at while we were gone.. It´s what took us back here, we might be able to use the one on this planet to go back.. But Rose and Varesh are finding that out right now...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::walks over to the obelisk:: SO: One thing I have to warn you about. This obelisk can make your wishes reality. So, I'm going to ask you to clear your mind of anything you want to happen.
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan>  CO:  You want to repeat that explosion?  But sir... we barely got out with our skin on and it has take forever to get things back in order.  We were lucky sir.
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks into the main engineering::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Captain.
SO_Rose says:
@::Chuckles::  CNS:  That shouldn't be a problem.  After all, I want to be right where I am.  ::Begins her own scans of the area.::
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
EO: What is the problem you are having?
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson> CTO:  You want to use that oblesk?  Ummm... sir.  It is on the planet.  We are up here?  And isn't it rather small?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::smiles:: SO: Let me know if you come up with anything. ::looks at the obelisk for a moment, and sends a mental probe towards it, knowing it is sentient.::
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan> XO:  Sir... we are not sure.  Everytime we get things aligned to specs, it seems we turn around and they are once again slightly off.  Like I said, nothing serious...  ::Eyes the captain::  unless you try to explode the warpcore that is....
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: TO: I know, but we could at least try... Varesh has gone down to determin the chances of making a successfull pass using the obelisk...
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::turns when he hears his 'name':: XO: Commander...  EO: That's why were here to see if we can recreate it without any major damage to the equipment and as low casualities as possible.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: I ask permission to speak.~~~
Host Guardian says:
@~~~~CNS:  Once again you return.  Where would you like to go now?  Simple share your dreams with me and I will open the doorway.~~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: I do not wish to go anywhere at this stage, I wish to ask you for information.~~~
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  ::Snorts::  CTO:  Is there anything we can be doing?  After all, it is also are job to see everyone gets home safely.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::smiles at the young engineer:: EO: Don't worry, I have no plan on trying to explode the warpcore....have a little faith!  We'll get back home safely, all of us!!
SO_Rose says:
@::Roams around, enjoying herself thinking it was such a shame everyone was in such a hurry to get home.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Nods:: TO: AT the moment, we´re they eyes in the sky for our awayteam.... Make sure you have the on sensors at all times, and also, make sure we´re alone here...
Host Guardian says:
~~~~CNS:  I am the gateway to your dreams.~~~~
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Scratches his head:: CO: Can I have minute, sir?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
~~~Guardian: That I understand. What I want to know is if you can take all of us back to our own dimension, our own place in the universe? The one we left behind so long ago and came to this dimension by accident.~~~
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>::Disgusted::  CTO:  Sir, I have never been in an area of space so dead.   ::Turns to lock onto the AT::
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
::looks up from the his padd:: XO: Umm...sure   ::places the padd down on a console and walks over to the XO:: XO: What do you need?
SO_Rose says:
<EO Dandlan>  ::Nods his head, hoping what the captain says is true, worried that desperate people will do desperate things.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
TO: That may very well be, but we haven´t got sufficient knowledge of technology that exists in this dimention... they might have cloaking devices far more advanced then the ones we know...
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Captain, from what I am gathering.  You want the Engineering staff here to simulate the same explosion that got us here?
Host Guardian says:
@~~~~CNS:  You have but to imagine  your universe and step through the portal.~~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: That answers the question for me. But what about the rest of the crew, and the ship itself? How can ALL of us and the ship return. Is it in your ability?~~~
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  :: A large smile of pleasure comes to his face.::  CTO:  Now you are talking sir!
Host Guardian says:
@~~~~CNS:  All you need to do is give me your dream of your ship in  your universe and you will find yourself there.~~~~
SO_Rose says:
@::Comes back to the Oblesk and begins to study the glyphs carefully.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: But will it be all of us, or just my dream that we are all there, but only I stepped through?~~~
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Yes Commander... we already have a way to get back home, unfortunatly it would mean tearing a hole the size of a asteriod in this ship.  Our last CEO and I were working on a way of making it safer, unfortunatly he died before we could successfully come up with a way to make it work.
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Holds up his hand:: TO: Now wait a moment.. I didn´t say they actually have that, just that we´re not sure... Just keep a good look at the surrounding space, alert me if something´s wrong...
Host Guardian says:
@~~~~CNS:  I am the gateway to your dreams... it would be as you wish it.~~~~
SO_Rose says:
@CNS:  Sir, has anyone read these glyphs?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CO: That would put the crew and ship at risk, sir.
SO_Rose says:
<TO Thompson>  CTO:  Of course...  ::Hopes something shows up... dying for some action.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: I understand. I will need time to think about it. May I return in the near future?~~~ ::looks over at the SO:: SO: Not as far as I know. Make a recording and then we return to the ship.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: That is why we are running tests and simulations on it Commander...were trying to find a safer way to do it!
Host Guardian says:
@~~~~CNS:  You may return to whatever your dream leads you too.~~~~
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@~~~Guardian: My thanks.~~~ ::bows to the obelisk... just in case and joins Rose::
SO_Rose says:
@CNS:  Sure, but it is pretty straight forward.  ::Begins to scan the unusual metal.::
CTO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Turns his chair around to see who is manning the other stations::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@SO: I would rather not do any speculation of any kind near the obelisk as yet.
Host CO_Capt_Anderson says:
XO: Now let's get to work!  ::walks back over to his engineering report and begins rereading it::
SO_Rose says:
@::Looks at the colors coalescing in the center of the oblesk.::  CNS:  Are you sure?
XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::Walks back::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@SO: Very. In fact, if you are done, we can move away a bit.
SO_Rose says:
@::Looks saddly dissappointed::  CNS:  But of course sir.
Host Guardian says:
ACTION:  The colors in the oblesk darken...
Host Guardian says:
