Summary
The Away team beamed to the surface.  They met up with the Klingon incharge of the Outpost, K’Tang.  Monroe brought to K’Tang the evidence of the ship that was not manned.  He was impressed.  Lieutenant Jackson managed to upset K’Tang, by chuckling as Monroe was talking to K’Tang.  Doctor Santiago came to the aid of the Lieutenant, and won the appreciation of K’Tang.  K’Tang invited the away team to a Klingon Opera.  Unfortunately Ensign Rose felt a little ill and was send back to the ship.  As they entered Commander Monroe ran into Admiral Harlan, she told him some bad news.  The people involved of attacking the station were from the same reality as the Nighthawk last visited.  From the information from the Admiral, she told him that when the Nighthawk first left their reality.  They rip a hole in space, causing a group of Nacandaians to cross the barrier.  They have taken a the President of the Federation, and taken him to the other to other reality.  Fortunately, Starfleet had aquired a subspace fold drive and will head back to the other universe to recover the president.

As Commander Monroe was having his conversation with the Admiral, Lieutenant Jackson was having his own fun as a Klingon woman picked him out from the Opera.  It looks like he’s going to get ‘lucky’.  And Doctor Santiago was propositioned by K’Tang.

Time Lapse
A Couple Days

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Acting Commanding Officer's Log, Stardate 10407.03: We are about to beam down to a bee hive.  Hopefully calming the Klingons down with some proof and some logic.  I hope to find out why Federation ships attacked this outpost and what is on this outpost that is so important.  If not we will have to blow our way out of here.  That is an option I do not wish to explore.

AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Follows Monroe into the TR::
SO_Rose says:
::Seeing Commander Monroe step onto the transporter padd, she steps up to join him.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Steps up onto the transporter PADD::
K`Tang says:
@::paces in his office, still wondering what the devil is going on with these Federation people::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
ACO: The transporter chief has the co-oridnates, sir.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up at the Doctor, as he steps onto the padd, then shifts his attention to the CNS:: CNS: Very well.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Steps onto the padd, checking his phaser and tricorder one more time::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Transporter Chief: Energize.

ACTION:  The AT beam down into a small cramped room where they see one very large Klingon, large in both direction, looking none to pleased.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks impassively at the Klingon::
SO_Rose says:
::Her eyes open wide at seeing the Klingon, but makes no comment.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Takes a look around and frowns a bit.::
K`Tang says:
::pulls his bat`leth from the wall and twirls it in his hands as the away team appears::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks around the room, taking in their possible escape routes::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes a look, and spots the klingon pull for his Bat;leth::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
Self:  Hmmmm, he must make a show... how typically Klingon. ::Shrugs::
Host K`Tang says:
::puffs out his chest::All: Well, start talking! ::growls slightly at the counselor::
SO_Rose says:
::Watches the Klingon carefully, wondering if at the sign of blood they will be beamed back immediately.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Pulls his hands up:: K'Tang: I am Commander Monroe, From the USS Nighthawk.
Host K`Tang says:
::narrows his eyes::ACO: Monroe.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles reassuringly at Rose and pays attention to the conversation::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks at the Klingon, keeping his mouth tightly closed::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: This is my first officer Lieutenant Jackson, my counselor, Varesh, Doctor Santiago, and Science Officer Ensign Rose.
SO_Rose says:
::Catching the counselors look, smiles back tentatively, wondering how the klingon can even move... or get through the doors.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods at the Klingon::
Host K`Tang says:
::places the bat`leth on the desk and stands with his hands on his hips::ACO: So you wanted to talk, talk! I don't have time for your prattle! ::scans the others quickly::
SO_Rose says:
::Gives K'Tang a nod::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Leans over and whispers to V:: CNS:  I wonder when the show of power is going to conclude.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: Did you know that one of the ships that attacked you didn't have any crew?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::whispers back:: CMO: It will be interesting.
Host K`Tang says:
ACO: Of course not! They refused to answer all our hails!
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: I wish to get to the bottom of this as well.  We were not responsible for the attack on this station, but we will bring those responsible back to you.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks around the office::
Host K`Tang says:
::throws up his hands::ACO: Federation drivel! You are just trying to cover your backs, and hide the attackers! Show me proof that this ship had no crew!
SO_Rose says:
::Shifts from one foot to another, before leaning over and asking quietly::  aXO:  Is this it?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
SO: Ms Rose.  Show our Klingon Friend that this ship had no crew.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks at Rose, puzzled:: SO: Is this what?
Host K`Tang says:
::raises an eyebrow at the SO::SO: You have the proof?
SO_Rose says:
::Blinks at the order and manuevers up to the klingon.  Takes a moment to pull up the data on her padd and hands it to him.::
Host K`Tang says:
::grabs the padd and reads it::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Huh.... what does she have that she hasn't told us.
Host K`Tang says:
SO: Is this a Federation trick? ::leans closer, his breath in her face::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Pulls the SO Back:: K'Tang: No trick, all facts.
SO_Rose says:
::Leans back, stepping on the toes of whoever had the misfortune to be behind her, trying not to gag.::  K'Tang:  No sir... not at all sir.  The USS Erickson verifed it as well when they went aboard to check the ship out.
Host K`Tang says:
::huffs::ACO: So that ship had no crew, so who ordered it to attack my outpost then?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: The one ship had no crew, just uniforms. That's all I know.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Chuckles:: Self: Who says they attacked you at all?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: To be honest I don't know.  We haven't been in touch with anyone in months.
Host K`Tang says:
::swings around to the AXO::AXO: What was that boy?
Host K`Tang says:
AXO: You've seen the damage here. Does that seem funny to you?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: Nothing, the Lieutenant didn't say anything. didn't he?
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks up at K´Tang:: K´Tang: What was what?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Hmmmmm, I would have loved to investigate that.
SO_Rose says:
::Feeling the strong need to get out of these too close quarters.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I'm sure the Erikson will share their findings with you. Not the same as doing it yourself, I know, but we all have to make sacrifices. ::smiles at her::
Host K`Tang says:
ACO: I find no humour in this matter. Your subordinate here, is showing disrespect. He will apologize to me!

ACTION:  K'Tang gets a comm that the troupe is ready.

AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
K´Tang: I have seen the damage, yes, but so far, I haven´t seen any proof pointing to the Finn... Perhaps we could see what your sensors logged during this attack?
Host K`Tang says:
All: One moment. ::listens to the comm::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances at Rose::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: You want to get out of here alive?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: CNS:  I'm sure the answer is there and you know me... I don't know what I'm looking for till I find it.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Doesn´t look at Monroe:: ACO: Ofcourse, but so far, I haven´t heard anything but unfounded statements...
SO_Rose says:
::Unthinkingly lifts her hand to wave around her face to circulate some air.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::shakes his head:: CMO: Yeah, I do know you. ::turns to Rose:: SO: Are you alright?
Host K`Tang says:
ACO: Commander, I have a troupe of actors here to perform my favourite Klingon opera. You will attend and bring the others with you after that one apologizes of course. ::glares at Jackson::
SO_Rose says:
::Breathing slightly shallowly, looks at the counselor.  Realizing what she is doing, she puts her hand down, slightly pale::  CNS:  Yes sir.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
AXO: He's a ticked off Klingon... you tick him off some more he'll slice you...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang: I'm sure he meant know offense.  Lt Jackson is not familiar with Klingon ways. ::Nods::  I hope it's Hamlet today.  It's Korack's and mine favourite.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: Very well.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::puts a reassuring hand on Rose's arm:: SO: We'll be out of this office in a moment, otherwise Anita could send you back to the ship.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: K´Tang: Very well then. I know there must have been a lot of suffering during and after th attacks, and I´m sorry for that. But that doesn´t take away my scepticism about the person or persons behind these attacks...
Host K`Tang says:
::smiles at the CMO::CMO: You are plucky. I like plucky. You will sit with me up front.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Hears Varesh out of the corner of her ear::  SO:  Is there something wrong Ens?
SO_Rose says:
::Shakes her head::  CNS/CMO:  No sir, ma'am.  I am fine... I will be fine... I .... ::Sighs::  Tis just a bit too close in here for my preference.  ::Smiles weekly::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Walks over:: CMO: Doctor, she alright?
Host K`Tang says:
::huffs at Jackson then turns to the others::ACO: What is wrong with that one? ::points at Rose::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Clues in.::  ACO:  Ahhh yes Sir.  I think she needs to go back to the ship.  I suspect she has more investigating to do with what is going on.  maybe she can find something more definitive for K'Tang to ease his ego.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Leans over and whispers:: ACO: Medically I'm ordering it Sir.
SO_Rose says:
::With all eyes on her, wishes the floor would just open up.  Her Irish accent comes through even stronger.::  All:  Nothing.  I am fine.  Lets go see the opera.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::keeps a reassuring hand on Rose's arm and let Anita do the talking.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
K'Tang: Guess she needs to head back to the ship.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Whispers:: CMO: Very well, I'll allow it this time... ::Smiles::
Host K`Tang says:
::grabs the CMO's arm::CMO: Come little one. I'm sure you will enjoy this entertainment.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: K'Tang:  I'm sure I will.  Lead on McDuff.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
SO: You sure?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods to Rose.:: SO:  Ens please go back to the ship and finish off that assignment I asked of you.  I need it in 7 hours.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Shakes his head at Anita's quip::
Host K`Tang says:
::pulls her to the door::CMO: Who is this McDuff?
SO_Rose says:
::Pulls her shoulders back::  aCO:  Yes sir.
SO_Rose says:
::Looks confused between the doctor and Commander::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks as the Klingon pulls Santiago to the door::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks at the Doctor:: SO: Well Doctor's orders, you gotta head back.
SO_Rose says:
::Holds tight all her emotions::  aCO:  Aye sir.
SO_Rose says:
*FCO*:  One to beam aboard.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang:  i don't know...  I just keep hearing that Phrase.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Continues walking with the group::

ACTION:  A none to happ Rose is beamed aboard.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::frowns:: ACO: You do realize she didn't want to go and would've been fine the moment we left this room?
Host K`Tang says:
::waves the guard from the door::CMO: So you like Klingon opera?
SO_Rose says:
@::Beamed aboard, she takes a deep breath, then steps down from the transporter and heads for the bridge, wondering what exactly the doctor wanted her to do.::
Host K`Tang says:
::looks back to see if the others are following::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Follows the group, all the way at the back, his hand casually along his side, but ready to grab his pahser ina a split-second::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: I know, but Doctor's orders... and she can be really mad when I countermand them.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang: Of course.  I was first exposed to it by General Korack.  He loves to the stuff.  Normally on every long mission he will have the crew stage on production.

ACTION:  As the group nears a closed door, they can hear the loud strains of operatic music.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles:: ACO: Afraid of the Doctor, sir? ::hears the music and sighs deeply::
Host K`Tang says:
CMO: Korack? Never heard of him. ::nods to the guards to open the doors:: Here we are.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: She can be.... persuasive... ::hears the sounds and closes his eyes::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang:  He knows you by reputation my friend.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::notices Sid's reaction:: ACO: Do you also feel a severe headache coming on?

ACTION:  They enter a room that us unusually large for an outpost and it is set up like an opera house.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: More of a migrane...
Host K`Tang says:
::grins, his yellow teeth gleaming in the light::CMO: Of course he does. I am a hero of many great battles. ::puffs up his chest::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles and enters the concert hall with the others:: ACO: Maybe if we sit up front, the sound will hit the audience a few rows behind us.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang:  I hope some are in Song and that you would sing them for us?  Cmdr Monroe would love to hear about your exploits.  From the first one to the last.
Host K`Tang says:
::turns::ACO: You may take your people down to the front. There are many seats for you.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CNS: I hope so...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::As the group enters the room, she steps up to Commander Monroe.::  aCO:  Do you enjoy opera?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::follows the rest up to the front seats and looks very resigned as he sits down::
Host K`Tang says:
::whispers to the CMO: CMO: I will sing many for you my little plucky one.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: K'Tang:  Great.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Enters the room as last of the group, looking around, trying to ignore the loud opera-music::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Notices the Admiral, and stands at attention:: Harlan: Admiral.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  Stand down Commander.  I need to speak privately with you.  I can do it here... ::Smiles:: or somewhere were you can hear.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Stands at ease:: Harlan: Aye Admiral. Outside is better, sir.
Host K`Tang says:
::guides the CMO to a seat down front::CMO: You sit here.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Nods and slips out the door the others had just entered.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Slips outside::
Host K`Tang says:
::motions to the guard at the side of the stage that he is ready::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Takes a seat on the seat closed to the alley and looks around the large room::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang:  Thank you.  It's the perfect spot.  ::It was too.  front and center...she tries not to groan.. being diplomatic is hard work.::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Motions him to follow her.::  aCO:  It is probably best to just walk and talk.  By the way, welcome home... or at least home in the sense of the correct galaxy.
Host K`Tang says:
::sits beside the CMO but turns to Jackson::AXO: You sit here, beside me as well.

ACTION:  A busty Klingon woman spies Lt Jackson and sits behind him.

Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: Harlan: Thank you, sir.  ::walks along with the Admiral::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Sighs:: Self: This must be my lucky day.... ::Gets up and takes a seat besides K´Tang::
Host K`Tang says:
::sees the woman behind them and smiles::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
K'Tang:  So what is the production tonight?
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  I will keep this short and sweet as I can't stay long.  When you 'left', you left a temporary 'hole' in space.  Though that hole came some unsavery characters.  They have been stirring up havoc wherever they go.  I think what you found yourself in, was just that.  I was tracing them here through the Opera troup.  ::Looks at him::  Long story on that one.
Host K`Tang says:
CMO: I shall surprise you little one.
Host Zelda says:
::Leans forward and smiles at the tasty morsal.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: K'Tang:  I like surprises.
Host K`Tang says:
::stares towards the woman behind him and nods::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Harlan: You mean we brought some bad guys looking like Federation Officers?
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Doesn´t like all this secrecy about what they´re going to see:: K´Tang: Why can´t you reveal to us what we´re going to see? It won´t hurt to tell us, would it?
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  Yes, unfortunately.  However, that is not the entire story.  It appears we are dealing with another group of people, the Nacandarians.  And they came from the universe  you just returned from.  We had dealings with them long ago, but no idea where they came from.
Zelda says:
::Smiles at KTang and taps the lt on the shoulder, rather hard for him.::
Host K`Tang says:
::grabs Jackson by the collar::AXO: You dare to question me? Sit and be quiet or I shall use you as practice target for my bat`leth practice.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Nods:: Harlan: What are our orders?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Can't help but giggle when K'Tang threatens Jackson.::
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Grabs K´Tang´s wrist with two hands, trying to pull him off:: K´Tang: Let go of me!
Host K`Tang says:
::lets Jackson go and reaches back to grab Zelda's hand::Zelda: Ahah! You made it woman! I am pleased.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  This was about five years ago.  We thought we were done with them.  We aquired one of their subspace fold drives and have been working on it.  It is ready for testing.  However, we don't have time to test it.  We need to go back to their universe to rescue... ::Lowers her voice::  The president.  They have come through again and taken him.
Host K`Tang says:
::laughs at Jackson:: AXO: Puny!
Zelda says:
KTang:  Sir, if I might.  I could take him out of here so you can enjoy your opera.
Host K`Tang says:
Zelda: He pleases you?
Zelda says:
::Big grin::  K'Tang:  I think he could.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Stops:: Harlan: Admiral I just pulled my crew from there, I am not sure if they are willing to head back there.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Looks around at Zelda, taking her in and making up his mind that this isn´t exactly the woman he´d been looking for al his life, turns back to watch the stage::
Host K`Tang says:
Zelda: You may have him, but don't break him......just yet. I may have need of him later.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Stops and turns to look at the man before her carefully a moment before continuing::  aCO:  We need to test the device in action.  And I need someone who knows that universe to lead them.  I need you to return.
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  You will lead the fleet through.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Doesn´t voice his suspicion about a possible need for him, but instead decides to play along, for now...::
Host K`Tang says:
::leans back to the CMO::CMO: Now where were we my dear? ::grins broadly::
Zelda says:
::Standing up, grabs the Lieutenants arm.::  aXO:  Come along my warrior.  We shall make an evening to remember.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::scratches his head:: Harlan: Let me talk to my crew.  I want my crew to come along as well.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Gets up slowly, even though he´s grabbed by the arm:: Zelda: Are we, now? ::Smiles faintly, trying to make an impression as if he had been joking::
Host K`Tang says:
::scowls as Jackson moves past him::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  They will be needed as much as the other ships.  I will send you your orders in a week.  Take what time you can.  ::Starts to turn away::  By the way, I would appreciate it if you could find your errr... 'mess' and clean it up before we have more annoying incidents.  Reclaiming our vessels would be a good start.
Zelda says:
::Hurries him from the room::  aXO:  Yes!
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Blinks:: Zelda: What did you have in mind?
Zelda says:
aXO:  First, the bat'lath... then the pain sticks... then the... ::Goes on.::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Feels a Migrane but doesn't hear any music:: Harlan: And this mess with the Klingons Admiral?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Settles back to show that is will enjoy the production.::
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Pauses to look back an interesting look in her eyes as she smiles::  aCO:  Leave K'Tang to me.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Holds breath for a moment:: Zelda: You´ll find a worth opponent in me then... ::Tries to think back to his basic hand-to.hand combat lessons during his short period with the Marines::
Host K`Tang says:
::grabs the CMO's hand and holds on tightly::CMO: Fun later?
Zelda says:
::Smiles toothely at him::  aXO:  I am counting on it.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Feels the migrane pound on:: Harlan: Aye, Admiral.
AXO_Lt_Jackson says:
::Grins:: Self: Maybe Klingons aren´t that bad after all...
Host Adm_Harlan says:
::Sighs::  aCO:  I understand.  If there were time... but there is not.  You must be ready to lead the team in one week.  Deal with the other when you get back.
Host K`Tang says:
::hopes Zelda is having a good time "playing".
Host Adm_Harlan says:
aCO:  That gives you two days R&R and if you don't dawdle.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Harlan: Aye Admiral.
