Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The Crew attempted to stop the Pakleds from interfering with the time stream and altering the past as recorded. However, things did not go as planned and the Crew found themselves flung back ten weeks too early.

Host Coot says:
Rather than wait things out, the Pendragon is faced with a new problem. An unknown vessel has just emerged from sub-space. Although indications hint that it is Federation, it is nothing like what they have seen in the past . . . or future . . .

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Counselor Dawson turns her gaze toward the viewscreen as she watches the events unfold around her. She still does not fully understand what just happened, but she could make sense of it later. For now, there was more work to be done::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Raise shields?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Absolutely.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: An unknown vessel has fully emerged from sub-space, its weapons trained on the Pendragon.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::standing at the SCI station, running scans of the strange vessel::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::at the engineering station on the bridge, scans the vessel::

TO_Tribble says:
::raises shields::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She watches the vessel rather curiously. Jamie stretches her mind in hopes of getting some form of mental impression from the inhabitants::

TO_Tribble says:
::checks the vessel's tactical capabilities::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::at her helm station laying in all kinds of escape vectors and evasion routes::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Hail the vessel.   CSO: Analysis? 

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She inclines her head and activates the hailing frequencies:: CO: Hailing in progress, sir.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, you're not going to like this.   Their weapons are subspace.   We....::looks glum:: have no known method to defend ourselves against them::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: It’s a ship, sir. It has similar, but in no way identical, energy signatures to Federation ships. Beyond that things aren't so clear

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::in her quarters confined after her manic episode earlier::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CO: Thank you, Mr. Tribble.   CSO: I assume it came through time, as we did?

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Apparently, from the future?

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: The viewscreen pops to life, a rather plain looking officer appears on screen. The only identifying marks are rank insignia, identifying her as a Cmdr.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
CO: Sir, I can tell you that the humanoids on that vessel are mildly telepathic... ::She pauses for a split second as she looks over the man on the screen::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Escape vectors plotted an evasion routes plotted and laid in.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Of that I can't tell you. Indications go that way, but I just don't know

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: A shipload of Betazoid?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in the Crystal Cave playing piano::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: I am Captain Albaron Thraxis, of the Federation Starship Pendragon. Would you identify yourself, please?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
TO: No... they're only mild telepaths. ::She keeps her eyes locked on the woman on the screen::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: I know who you are Captain and I must wonder what you are doing here? ::does not introduce herself::

TO_Tribble says:
::working with computer to figure out any means to defend the Pendragon::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::tries to pick up anything he can from the transmission::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie begins to run the Commander's image through the computer in hopes to get some sort of identification from the Starfleet database::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::pacing her quarters::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: We were brought to this time by a temporal rift, apparently generated by a device on another ship. That ship has been destroyed. We were about to work out a way to get back to the 24th century.

TO_Tribble says:
::figures out that tachyon shielding may help::

TO_Tribble says:
::analyzes the tachyon shielding aspect::

TO_Tribble says:
::frowns, realizing the tachyon shielding may be ineffective.  Continues working::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Thraxis to Cmdr Luchena.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She watches as the results come through in the negative. It seems that she was nowhere in the Federation database::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::opens his eyes, startled.  Stops playing and taps his commbadge.  *Jordan*:  Yes?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, if you'll notice, there are several screens behind her. None of them look familiar. If I had to guess, they're engineering consoles.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: That's a very convenient explanation, Captain. However, records indicate no vessel was destroyed in this era. Would you care to explain this in finer detail? ::motions to someone off-screen::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Mikal ... I think I'm in trouble .... I have memories of .... shooting people....

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands and closes the keyboard cover::  *Jordan*:  Where are you?

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: The Pendragon is being scanned, rather invasively. Several of the telepaths aboard feel violated.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  My quarters ...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shakes off an uncomfortable feeling::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Jordan*:  I'll be right there.  ::leaves the Crystal Cave::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: We are still working out the details ourselves. It appears that as the other vessel was destroyed, it opened another temporal rift and threw us a bit further into the past. My science officer informs me that the event took place about ten weeks into the future.

TO_Tribble says:
::works quickly to try to stop the scans.  Very frustrated::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie closes her eyes in an attempt to place several mental barriers around her:: CO: They are telepathically scanning the crew, Captain. Rather harshly I might add.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps into a turbolift::  TL:  Deck 2

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Is anyone being harmed by this scan?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gasps as she senses something in her mind.  Looks around her startled::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: As the XO enters the TL, his vision fades and he reappears on the Starbase.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::blinks::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::analyses the recording of the scan::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
CO: It is a mental invasion, Captain. It is harming in one way or another.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: You are scanning my crew telepathically. Why?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::feels a creeping sense of horror::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: Records of your crew are required before you are deleted from the time stream. Standard Federation Protocol. ::motions to another person off-screen::

TO_Tribble says:
::wonders if she can access the other ships prefix code by a random generation::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: CO: What does she mean by deleted, Captain?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::decides she has nothing more to lose ... begins probing herself for whoever was responsible::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: _Federation_ protocol? Who are you? And what, exactly, does "deleted from the time stream" mean?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::wanders the Starbase aimlessly, looking shocked::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::quietly:: CO: Captain if we arrived 10 weeks before we left - the other Pendragon - us, is out there doing what we were doing

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Self: What in the name of all that is holy is going on?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: We - or they - are duplicates

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: Captain, the Pendragon has altered the course of human history. By your actions, the Earth does not become warp capable. In fact, the alternate is rather disturbing to speak of.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: I know... but we'll have to deal with the here and now before we sort that out.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie looks toward Jose for a moment and then back to the woman on the screen::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
CO: Sir, may I ask the Commander a question?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::eyes go wide::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::starts to feel short of breath::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: We are not responsible for this. We were brought here against our will, and did what we could to put things straight. 

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CNS: Go ahead.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::probes deeper ... seeking out any unfamiliar minds::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
COM: Commander: Commander, if it is true that we indeed have altered the time line in the way you are speaking of, how is it that you are here before us?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@<Lt_Simmons>::sees his old friend and heads to him quickly::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: Behind the Cmdr, two crewmembers are seen escorting an unconscious man across the room. He looks strikingly similar to the XO.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: eyes widen at what he sees ::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: That's ... that's our XO.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She raises an eyebrow as she watches the events on the screen transpire:: Self: Who exactly are these people?

TO_Tribble says:
CO: ::bristling:: They're dragging him.   What have they done to him?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::feels a slight tingling in his left arm::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: Counselor . . . ::glances down:: Dawson. You think the Federation fails to move on without Earth? They were of little use to us after the Ferengi enslaved the planet.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: It appears you have abducted a member of my crew. Explain yourself.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: I beg your pardon Captain. We have abducted no one.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
COM: Durcane: Earth is where the Federation began. I would assume the United Federation of Planets would have ceased to exist... ::She waits for an explanation about the man on the viewscreen::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: Then let me speak to the man I just saw dragged across your bridge.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
@ ACTION: Simmons leads Mikal into a quaint coffee shop, just off the concourse.

TO_Tribble says:
*Computer* Please give current location of Commander Luchena

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: What could you possibly have to say to Andrew?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::focuses on the man sitting across from him::  Simmons:  Richard.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
<CPU> *TO* Cmdr Luchena is not aboard the Pendragon.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: Andrew? He looked remarkably like my First Officer, Commander Mikal Luchena.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::the tingling sensation starts to grow, and his vision is a little blurred. Concentrating on his screen and his duties becomes more difficult:

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
CO: Captain, there may be several people in their time line that may look like us...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: And our computer informs me that Cmdr. Luchena is no longer aboard this ship.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: Andrew has spoken of his uncle many times.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Simmons:  I'm lost again Richard.  ::puts his head in his hands::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: Uncle, eh? Nevertheless, my XO has gone missing just as you have confronted us. I am not a big believer in coincidence.

TO_Tribble says:
::glares at Ducane, wanting to fire phasers at him::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
@ <Simmons>Mikal: You are never lost when you are with me. ::embraces him::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::suppresses a shudder::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::makes a move to exit her quarters::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Simmons:  Jordan needs me, but I can't find her.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She closes her eyes for a moment, a large headache beginning to form::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::surprised no one stops her ... heads for the bridge::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
<Simmons>  Mikal: She is wherever you need her. ::holds him closer::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::passively observes, bemused::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::closes her eyes for a few minutes as a headache is forming::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: What exactly is your purpose here, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::relaxes into Simmons::  Simmons:  Do you know where the Pendragon is?  I need to get home.

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: To put right what you wronged. Any last requests Captain?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::doesn't like the sound of that::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She looks down at her console and attempts to download any information from that ship that would explain this...::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands fly over the console to make the appropriate evasive maneuvers just in case::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Cmdr: If you want to put things right, go to the 24th century and stop the Pakleds from getting the temporal generator. That's the linchpin of this sequence of events.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
~~~FCO: She is a rather annoying woman. Want to see if we can get any information from her ship's computer? I'm trying... but I'm no expert.~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::has spots starting to appear in his vision. Looks at his hands to see them shaking badly::

TO_Tribble says:
::desperately trying to figure how to defend the Pendragon::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::whispers::  Simmons: I need to get home.....

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: Reports are coming in from the brig and VIP quarters that the Pakleds and American pilots are no longer on board.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CNS:~~~Annoying is not the word, but I  might be able to help you there. Let me see if I can bypass her security codes.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::works to reinforce the shields::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
COMM: Pendragon: You tire me with your poor excuses. This ends now. ::cuts the comm::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie can feel the stress level of the crew begin to rise. It made sense that this horrid woman was causing crew morale to lessen:: ~~~FCO: I have some of the information... but the Computer can't understand it. Perhaps you can clean some of it up somehow?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Options?

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: The Pendragon's computer banks are being deleted, most recent information first.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: We can try tachyon shielding.  At least, it could give us some time.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::weeps::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain the computer is showing massive data loss.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to attempt an numeric encryption code to stop the deletion of the computer banks::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
CO: Lieutenant Rochelle and I are attempting to go over some data we downloaded from their Computer, but I doubt we'll get anything from it. The data is too much for our Computer to handle...

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: An large energy build-up is detected aboard the vessel.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Self:  This is all my fault ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: How do we stack up against them in a fight?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::pushes away from Simmons violently and screams::  Simmons:  I need to get back!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::standing at the rear of the bridge::

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: A large flash engulfs the space surrounding the Pendragon.

TO_Tribble says:
::shakes head:: CO: We don't.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::working rapidly to try and ::  ALL: What the hell MY Eyes

Host Cmdr_Ducane says:
ACTION: Everything goes black.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hands go to her eyes again::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Bridge consoles slowly flicker back to life. Emergency lighting fades away to normal lighting on the Pendragon.

TO_Tribble says:
::checks weapons status::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::takes her hands from her eyes slowly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Status!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::checks his console::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie closes her eyes as the blackness overtakes her. She then opens her eyes once the Captain shouts out::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Working on it sir.  ::checks her navigational computer and helm controls::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Weapons are in good shape, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: All systems green sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain...all condition shows green

TO_Tribble says:
::checks scans for other vessels::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: When and where are we?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::through gritted teeth:: CO: All Sci station systems are good...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::checks chronometer::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
All: What in the name of holy was that light?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The XO finds himself in the TL just as the doors open to Deck 2.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::blinks::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::checks her navigational charts to what and where they are::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::just stares straight ahead::

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: I don't think it had anything to do with anything holy, Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Jordan*:  Where are you?  Is everything all right?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain...I've identified out place in time. We're two minutes before 

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: Well if you were Betazoid and you had the holy rings of Betazed you would say that.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A vessel is being detected on LRS.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: I have a vessel on LRS sir.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, a vessel on long range scans.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Can you identify it?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She takes in a deep breath and begins to roll her hair on her finger, making several popping noises with her mouth::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::turns to Tribble and smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain it's the Pakleds

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: Are you alright?~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Jordan?~~~  ::wipes his face with his sleeve::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: The same Pakleds?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Feels for her comm badge ... finds it and activates it:: *XO*:  I'm on the bridge, Mikal ... I need your help.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She sits up a bit straighter in her chair at the mention of the Pakleds, still making the popping noises with her mouth::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: The ship appears the same.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: What? The Pakleds again?  Wait we are back in the beginning again?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::jumps back in the turbolift::  *Jordan*:  I'm nearly there.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: This could be a trick or the real thing to correct the time line.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Tractor them.  CNS: Open a channel.  CEO: See if you can get a transporter lock on the crew.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She moves her hand over the console and tries to open a channel:: CO: Aye, sir. Opening the channel now.

TO_Tribble says:
::prepares tractor beam::  CO: Tractor beam ready, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye ::attempts to lock on to the Pakleds::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Maneuvering the Pen into range for tractor to lock on.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges onto to the bridge and looks frantically for Jordan::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::makes the  proper corrections and pushes the Pen quickly towards the Pakled ship::

TO_Tribble says:
::attempts to get a tractor lock on the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads towards her::  Jordan:  What's going on?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::the tingling becomes like a burning in his arm, wobbles, and collapses::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: We have a tractor lock on them, Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::reaches out trying to find the XO by touch::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Confirmed sir Tractor lock is solid.

Host Coot says:
<Redshirt> *MED* Medical Emergency on the Bridge!

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She notices Commander Luchena enter the Bridge::

TO_Tribble says:
::turns and sees the XO::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> *CO*: Understood. Medical is on their way.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the CSO go down::  CSO:  Edward!  ::runs towards him::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
~~~Jordan: What is wrong? Please answer me.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns, sees Jordan for the first time, and sees Toms collapse :: 

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns to head for the Turbolift but bumps into the wall instead::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::kneels by the CSO and feels his neck for a pulse::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She watches the CSO and wants to get up from her chair, however, she has the feeling as if she should just remain where she is... and just watch::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sir, the ship is fighting our tractor

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::goes to Jordan as she bumps into the wall::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Over the Comm, the Crew can hear pounding and banging that is unsettlingly familiar.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::notices the odd confluence of events, in a detached way::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::pulse is weak, erratic, fading::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Jordan: Jordan what is wrong? Please......

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::Servek reaches the Bridge with two Med Techs at her side. The Vulcan woman takes out her Tricorder and makes her way over to the Chief Science Officer:: All: What happened?

TO_Tribble says:

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Beam the Pakled crew directly to the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Jordan stumbling around::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A second vessel is detected on LRS, closing in fast.

TO_Tribble says:  
  ::picks up a phaser from the weapons locker and prepares to be ready for the Pakled crew on the bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Nothing's wrong .... ::turns away::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::grabs her by the shoulders::  Jordan:  What's the matter?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'll give it my best shot ::attempts to beam them to the bridge::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She takes out a stimulant and inject Toms with it quickly::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
Jordan: Stop telling me lies something is wrong you are blind and I know it.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
XO: Please take care of Jordan.

TO_Tribble says:
::summons security crew to the bridge::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::reaches up:: XO:  I can't see, Mikal ...

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She begins to take in several deep breaths and begins to pant rather quickly in her seat. She begins to make the popping noises much louder::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Two Pakleds appear on the bridge, holding large hammers.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  You can see.  Picture me in your mind and look at me. ::strengthens his grip on her shoulders::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> FCO: Transport Commander Toms and my team to Sickbay immediately.

TO_Tribble says:
::security team begins to arrive::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
MO: Understood. ::initiates the transport::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Toms and Servek's team are beamed to Sickbay.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Pakleds: Welcome aboard the Federation starship Pendragon. I apologize for bringing you aboard like this, but you were not answering our hails.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::tries to ... ::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Get me out of here, Mikal ...

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to ignore the two Pakleds that just materialized on the bridge::  Jordan:  Concentrate.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She stops making her popping noises as the Pakleds appear. She just stays in her chair, watching them::

Host Coot says:
<Pakleds> CO: My friend's name is Dano, We are far from home. You are strong. Can you make it go?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Pakled: Make what go?

TO_Tribble says:
::returns to Tactical station, monitors long-range scans, and sees the other ship approach::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: We got more company sir.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> Barns: I want a fully physiological scan of Commander Toms done immediately. He has internal bleeding and hemorrhaging at this moment. Have our surgeons report to OR 1.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A strong look of confusion crawls across the Pakleds' faces and they turn and stare at one another.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::whispers::  Jordan:  I'm waiting in the dark for you.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Another ship?

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Identify it.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She closes her eyes at the response that another ship was approaching. What next?::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::panicking she starts thrashing around::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A Temporal disruption is being detected just ahead of the Pakled ship.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::puts his arms around her::  Jordan:  Come on. We'll go to your quarters.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::Looks at the Pakleds and thinks ::C'mon Lassie, did Timmie fall down the well?!"::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I have a temporal disruption ahead of the Pakled ship sir.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sir.  You're not gonna believe this.  It's another Pendragon.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Pakleds: You are in possession of a temporal generator. It's a very dangerous thing, if you don't know how to work it.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::As Nurse Barns begins her duties, the Acting Chief Medical Officer begins to take out the necessary instruments that would be required to operate. She injects the Science Chief with several medications to stabilize him for several minutes::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: You got to be kidding.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
TO:...from what time?

Host Coot says:
<Pakled> CO: You are strong, you make it go.  ::smiles::

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: I wish I were.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::allows the XO to lead her::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: Checking.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::quietly::  Jordan:  How did this happen?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: No... like Alice, I am prepared to believe six impossible things before breakfast. Hold position. They'll scan us soon enough.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: This ain't happening not again.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She notices that the spleen has ruptured and that both intestines seemed to be undergoing some sort of degeneration::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  Holding position.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose, can you shut down that device from here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I can sure try

TO_Tribble says:
CNS: It seems to be the Pendragon from the time all of this started.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: A sub-space rift begins to emerge.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO: There was a bright light ... I made no effort to protect my eyes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::attempts to shut it down remotely::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Ah captain there is a sub space rift beginning to emerge sir.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She watches as her surgeons enter the OR. The Vulcan takes out a laser scalpel and looks toward them, beginning to explain the situation at hand::

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: I advise that we destroy the Pakled ship to stop all of this and put us back where we belong.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Increase power to the tractor beam.  FCO: Back us off from the subspace distortion.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She throws her hands in the air:: Self: What next! The Borg?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: Agreed but that is not up to me.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leads her from the TL::  Jordan:  If it doesn't clear up on its own within the hour, we'll get you to sickbay.  It will be a simple matter to regenerate the nerves.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir backing us off and away from the distortion.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sir? I can increase power to the tractor beam, but I would prefer to destroy it.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to back the Pen from the distortion::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  No.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  No?  ::leads her into her quarters::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The tractor beam begins to fail, the Pakled ship is starting to pull away.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She makes the first incision into the Science Chief's chest, her hand moving steadily::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Carry out your orders, Mr. Tribble.   Pakleds: We'd like to offer a trade. We'll help you make your ship go, and you will give us the temporal generator.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
CEO: Is it me or are we losing the Pakled ship?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, the device appears set to go off regardless of what I do. It is operating independently of the Pakleds.

TO_Tribble says:
::prepares a photon torp, while trying to strengthen the tractor beam::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO: You don't understand ...

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Let's destroy it now... before it goes off again.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: his face darkens ::  Self: Never a happy ending...   TO: Destroy the Pakled vessel.  

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She raises an eyebrow at the CO's order:: CO: Captain!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::hears the CO and brings the Pen to bear on the Pakled ship::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::fires photon torpedo::  Torpedo away!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::settles Jordan on a couch::  Jordan:  Help me understand then.  ::sits beside her and takes her hand::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pakled ship explodes, brilliantly. The incoming Pendragon vanishes from sensors.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::shields her eyes::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Pakleds: I'm sorry... that device is far too dangerous. We can't stop it, and it could kill millions if allowed to continue operating.

TO_Tribble says:
All: Got her!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
TO: Nice shot.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
TO: Good shooting

TO_Tribble says:
::smiles at FCO:: Thanks.

TO_Tribble says:
::smiles at CEO::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::brings the Pen around smartly and keeps her in original position before the shot took place::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Pakleds: We will speak with the Pakled government about compensating you for your loss.  TO: Mr. Tribble, have Security escort our visitors to guest quarters.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
All: That was way way to close.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Memories ... I tried to kill someone, Mikal ... I shot members of our own crew, Mikal!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::  Jordan:  When?

TO_Tribble says:
CO:Aye, Sir. ::orders security team to escort the Pakleds to guest quarters and guard them carefully::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pakleds are escorted off the bridge as confused as ever, muttering something about the CO being strong.

Host Coot says:
