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

Host Cootles says:
The Crew was caught in a warp field projecting from the Catullan machine. A massive warp field had encompassed most of the planet and reached into the lower orbits. Several voices from the Pendragon's past re-emerged in her halls, haunting familiar ground once again.

Host Cootles says:
A decision to alter time, effect time, possess time; what exactly would happen once the Pendragon was back in the Warp 10 environment? It would only be a matter of minutes until the field swelled once again and engulfed the Pendragon in her wake.

Host Cootles says:
< < < < Begin Mission: Breaking Barriers, Conclusion > > > > 

ACTION: Several minutes have passed and the warp field is showing signs of increasing its reach once again.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Captain, we need to move farther away.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley makes her way down from the science station:: CEO: Why, Jose?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: The warp field will encompass us again shortly

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::on his hands and knees in the Crystal Cave, retching::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: AFCO: Ensign, move us back another several hundred km. Keep doing so as necessary.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Jose, do you believe that it will be possible to create an Android that can perform the deed inside of the machine?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
<AFCO Soup> CO: Aye, ma'am. ::Does as told::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::stumbles to his feet and leaves the lounge::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Jordan*: Jordan, would you mind coming to the Bridge?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I think it likely. If we used one of us, it would already have the knowledge that its time is short anyways. They are after all 'duplicates' not clones

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::enters the bridge as the comm comes through:: CO:  Already here, Captain.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::walking down the corridor taking care to remain conscious of the feeling of the deck beneath his feet::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: That is true, but we are also unsure if they are truly duplicated or from another parallel universe or dimension. I would prefer to use an android if possible.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: That kind of programming would be hard to pull off.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She turns her gaze toward Jordan:: Jordan: Are you aware of the situation, Jordan? ::Her facial expression does not change. She looks a bit stressed::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::enters the CO's quarters::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Even if we used a database that was pre-established in our computer itself?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Sorry I've been a little preoccupied ... what's going on?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::gets cleaned up::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The warp field swells considerably, then swells once again. It has reached the Pendragon and covers 25% of the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: We have to destroy the machine on the planet. ::She pauses for a second:: Jordan: However, we need someone to get inside of the machine. We have two options: an android or a clone.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: It would have to remain linked to our computer until the moment of its destruction. We'd have to go back inside the warp field

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Or me.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::grabs a PADD from the desk and leaves quarters::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: That is out of the question. ::She looks at Jose:: CEO: Why couldn't we download the information into the android itself? ::She looks toward the AFCO:: AFCO: Back us off again!

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
<AFCO Soup> ::She keeps trying to back the ship off::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::

Host Cootles says:
SCENE: Visual sensors display two images: One from a memory of long ago and another of the current dilemma unfolding in front of them.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
TL:  Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO/Jordan: If we attempt to make a copy, we do not know how many copies of ourselves will actually appear. Plus, what if the process is what has been killing those individuals that are supposed to be in this time?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::steps on to the bridge::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks at the visual sensors on the view screen:: All:  What is that?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: An internal Comm is heard over the bridge speakers. "Ensign Pettigrove to Chief Rustazh, come in please."

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Temporal mechanics always give me a headache. I have no pat answer.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
All on bridge:  We're in the warp 10 field again.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She sighs as she hears the comm:: All: We must be caught in the warp field. ::She pauses:: All: We need to act quickly.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Pendragon slips out beyond the reaches of the warp field.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CO:  Permission to download data regarding the field phenomenon?  ::waves the PADD::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She ignores Mikal as he speaks:: CEO: Jose, I need you to work on trying to make that android if you can. You have an hour to do whatever you can. ::She looks toward Jordan:: Jordan: Would you mind taking science? I would like to see if we could come up with a way to strengthen our shields.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> *Rustazh*:  Chief, I'm having problems with the warp relays again ...

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She turns toward Mikal:: CIV: Go for it. ::She moves toward tactical::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye. I'll be in engineering. Don't count on this thing looking like a humanoid. It will be a bare bones replica

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::sits at a console and begins downloading::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods to the CO and moves over to Science::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Looks don't matter to me, Jose. This thing is destined to be destroyed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'll give it my best shot ::exits the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
TL: Engineering

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::checks the PADD over::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She begins to look over the internal sensors, looking for anything out of the ordinary::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::stands::  CO:  I'll be transporting down to the surface.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: You will be doing no such thing, Ambassador.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::begins fiddling with the warp relays::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::surprised::  CO: Why?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Would you mind doing a double check of our internal sensors, Jordan?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::exits the lift and walks the short distance to engineering::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::does the check as asked::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: The situation on the planet has gone downhill. We don't know what affects going on the surface may have on you. So for now, permission is denied.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Internal sensors show that personnel aboard is one greater than the current crew manifest. However, all bio-signs are accounted for.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain ... sensors indicate we have one more person than current manifest ... but all bio-signs are accounted for.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CO:  I have to collect the delegates.  They are my responsibility.  Plus someone needs to be there when the Catullans realize that you've destroyed their technology.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Do you have any idea where the life sign is?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Checking on that now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::enters engineering::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: My decision is final, Ambassador. You may make a formal protest to Starfleet Command if you wish.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::notices something is not quite right with Engineering ... it looks somewhat different.  Then she sees a strange figure in a Commander's uniform enter::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CO:  Ashley... what you are about to do could be construed as an act of war.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The warp field has swelled once again, it is threatening to engulf the Pendragon once more.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: Then I will be forced to face the consequences. That is not your concern. ::She continues to look over the tactical sensors::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> CEO:  Who are you?  What are you doing on the Pendragon?  ::is very wary::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::sighs::  CO:  I beg your pardon Captain, but it is my concern.  If I can salvage the diplomatic mission, then I must try.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::looks at Pettigrove:: Jordan? What the hell? I'm the chief engineer, if any one is asking questions, its me!

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Internal sensors confirm Jordan is both on the bridge and in Engineering. The computer automatically scans once again and begins a self-diagnostic.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets the results of her scans:: CO:  Captain, our additional life-sign is in Engineering ...

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: My decision, as I have said several times over, is final. You are on my ship, Ambassador, which means that you are under my command during a red alert situation. ::She nods:: Jordan: Inform Jose please, Jordan.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> CEO:  Chief Rustazh is in charge of Engineering ... and you're not him!

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
~~~CO:  I am not under your command, Love, unless you formally recall me.~~~  ::heads to the turbo lift::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  There's more Captain ... sensors have identified the additional life form as Jordan Pettigrove ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, we have a situation. There is another Jordan here in engineering

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  CEO:  What do you mean another Jordan?  What are you talking about?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: Ambassador, you are ordered to remain in your Quarters from this point on. Is that understood? ::She raises an eyebrow:: Jordan: What?!? ::She taps her Combadge:: *CEO*: Would it be... a Jordan Pettigrove?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath::  CO:  Put me and the other Jordan on a shuttle.  I'll take her back into the field and lead her back to her own time.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: Yes

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Ashley, Pettigrove was my maiden name ... and I was an Engineer when I first came aboard.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The Warp 10 field swells 200,000 kilometers beyond the Pendragon. Several other "former" crewmembers reappear on board throughout the ship.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CIV: I will NOT repeat myself again. ::She nods:: Jordan: I know Jordan. It seems she must have been left here when we were last in the warp field. Would you like to bring yourself to the Bridge?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::enters the turbo lift::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I don't think that's a good idea, Captain.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 3

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She watches Mikal leave:: Jordan: Then what would you suggest?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
~~~CIV: Do I need to have security meet with you, Ambassador?~~~

Host Cootles says:
~~~ <an old voice> XO: Mikal, that is the damnest thing.... but I am lost on my own ship. Where the hell are the turbo lifts? ~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Have security bring her up.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Do you believe that you would react badly to meeting your own self at that time?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Pettigrove: Look, I need to get some work done if were going to get out of this mess. Trust me. Just go to the bridge.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, I'm concerned how she'd react to seeing me, as I am now.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: Jose, please send Ms. Pettigrove to the Bridge with two of your men. I believe we may need to change our plans. This field is still expanding.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Aye Ma'am

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> CEO:  Commander whoeveryouare ... I am an Engineer ... my place is right here!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::assigns two men to escort her:: Jordan: You'll be okay, just go with them

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: She will be brought with us when we head to the planet. ::She pauses:: Jordan: We will need to go to the planet soon...

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
~~~Rofax:  You don't belong here.  Check a wall panel and meet me on deck 3.~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
<EO_Rourke> Jordan: Come with us please

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::is getting even more suspicious:: CEO:  Who was that?  That didn't sound like Captain Zax!

Host Cootles says:
~~~ <Rofax> Mikal: Will do. ~~~ ::mutters a string of colorful adjectives while trying to find his way::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
<EO_Rourke>: Just come with me...::takes her gently by the arm::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::emerges on Deck 3 and waits::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Jordan: It's okay, honest. You've been caught in a temporal causality

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She has the Computer locate Mikal and decides to monitor his movements:: *CEO*: Jose. We may need to take a more aggressive approach. This warp field is expanding rather quickly.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> Rourke:  I don't know who you guys think you are, but the Captain is going to hear about this! ::reluctantly goes with the man::

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ::steps out of the lift onto Deck 3 and peers both directions before deciding to head to the right::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: We don't have any weapons that could destroy it without devastating the surrounding area. What did you have in mind?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::instinctively turns and starts walking towards Rofax::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
*CEO*: I will do what is necessary to shut the machine off, Jose. Our main priority is to stop this thing from expanding at this point in time. Meet me in the Shuttlebay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
*CO*: On my way

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gets a funny look on her face as she senses someone familiar::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
Rofax:  This is the future Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::exits engineering for the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Would you like to accompany Jose and I?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: Internal sensors can longer compensate for the fluctuations in crew numbers. The display is continually changing.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward a Lieutenant on the Bridge:: Lieutenant Heart: You have the Pendragon, Lieutenant. Do whatever possible to contain the crew changes. I am hoping we can stop this fairly soon.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: CO:  It'd be better if I stay here ... internal sensors can no longer compensate for the crew number fluctuations.  It's going to take some time to sort out.

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> Mikal: That clearly is not Command, nor Counseling.... and ::glances down and then back up:: you're married?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: Jordan: Then you have the Pendragon, Commander.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::still has a quizzical look on her face::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: CO:  Understood.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::laughs::  Rofax:  Stranger things will happen.  ::takes Rofax's hand::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
~~~Jordan: Will you do me a favor... and keep Mikal here?~~~ ::She makes her way into the Turbo Lift::

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> Mikal: Somehow, I find that believable....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::taps her comm badge once their gone:: *CIV*:  Thraxis to Luchena.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
Rofax:  Come with me.  ::envisions where he wants to be::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::Once the Turbo Lift stops, Ashley makes her way down the deck toward the Shuttlebay. Once she reaches the Shuttlebay, she makes her way inside::

Host Cootles says:
@ ACTION: Mikal and Rofax now find themselves in a plaza.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::reaches the shuttlebay:: CO: Captain. So what did you have in mind?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@::let's go of Rofax's hand and watches him::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::keeps doing continual internal sensor sweeps::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Rofax> ::looks around:: Mikal: This is not normal.... what has happened?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: I will enter the machine and shut it down, while you do so on the outside. ::She enters the shuttlecraft and powers it up::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO:: Captain! That’s suicide! ::follows her in::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@Rofax:  Here, in the future a people have invented a technology that rips open time and space.  You've fallen through, my old friend.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
*Jordan*: We are ready to depart, Jordan. Please open the bay doors.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::knows her former Captain is here, in this time::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::belts in::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::opens the doors:: CO:  Doors open.  You're clear to go.  Good luck.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  ::staring around the bridge in confusion::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Rofax> ::pauses, considers the surrounding scene and nods mostly to himself::  Mikal: What are you up to?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
*Jordan*: Thank you, Jordan. Please keep the Pendragon safe. ::She takes the shuttle out into space, heading straight for Catulla Prime::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@::shrugs::  Rofax:  I just need to be here in the present.  You, though, have got to go back.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Jose... this entire situation has spun out of control. ::She increases the shuttle's speed::

Host Cootles says:
@ <Rofax> Mikal: Very well, but I recognize that tone. You're going to do something stupid, aren't you? Old friend....

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@CO: So killing yourself is the answer?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@Rofax:  Me?  Do something stupid?  ::winks::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: I have no intention of killing myself, Jose. I am hoping that "faith" will play some part in all of this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::looks down:: CO: I will just hope for the best then ::grim::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: EO Pettigrove sits in the rear of the shuttle, humming to herself while completing her post-launch routine.

Host Cootles says:
$ ACTION: The Pendragon makes for deeper space, attempting to outrun the warp field.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She cannot help but sigh:: CEO: If something does happen to me, Jose, I want for you to take the Pendragon and head back to Starfleet Command... we will need reinforcements. Is that understood?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She looks back at the sound of someone:: EO: Jordan? ::She pauses:: EO: Jordan Pettigrove?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@CO: Understood. We are approaching the planet

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@Self: What the....

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::tries to contact Mikal again:: *CIV*:  Jordan Thraxis to Mikal Luchena.  I know you can hear me, Mikal.  So answer please?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::looks up startled as the same CEO from before and some woman she doesn't know are on the shuttle::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@*Thraxis*:  Hello beautiful.  It's a lovely day down here on Catulla Prime.  And I've run into an old friend of ours.

Host Cootles says:
@ <Rofax> ::follows Mikal, wherever he is headed, not allowing his friend get farther than arm's reach::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She turns to Jordan, allowing her to view her pips:: EO: Ensign, we are in a very complicated situation. Are you up to offer some assistance?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  I know I can sense him.  How the heck did you get on Catulla Prime?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::sees the pips of a Captain on the woman's uniform:: CO:  First, who are you and where am I?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@::laughs:: *Thraxis*:  Its the field, Jordan.  When you stand at the center you can move to anywhere or anytime you choose.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@CEO: Is it safe to transport down? ::She inclines her head:: EO: That is a valid question, Ensign. I am Captain Luchena of the USS Pendragon. Are you familiar with the theories of Warp 10?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@CO: I think we stand a better chance of getting there in one piece if we take the shuttle down

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> CO:  Sort of .. I mean I did study some of it at the Academy ... Captain Luchena?  Are you related to Mikal Luchena?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  Your wife isn't going to like this, Mikal.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@::walking towards the science building and the heart of the mystery::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
@::She shakes her head:: EO: For now. Yes. ::She nods:: CEO: Would you care to take us down, Commander?

Host Cootles says:
@ <Rofax> ~~~ ::searches his friend's mind for his real intentions for being here:: ~~~

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@*Thraxis*:  Ashley can be a bit pigheaded sometimes.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@CO: Aye. Beginning initial decent vector

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  Agreed .. but this time I think she's right.  That machine is far too dangerous.

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@~~::freely allows the intrusion as he enters the building::~~~

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
@*Thraxis*:  How was she planning to shut it down?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
@::sets the shuttle down near the central plexus::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  I'm not sure, Mikal .. but it had something to do with getting into the damn thing.  I said I'd do it but ...

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ::follows Mikal into the building::  Mikal: What is this? It doesn't belong....

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::hears a shuttle land in the plaza::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::looks to Rofax::  *Thraxis*:  And do what once inside?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO/EO: We're here

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She stands up from her seat:: CEO: Shall we? ::She looks toward Pettigrove:: EO: Would you care to accompany us, Ensign?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::gets up and follows::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::enters the lab and looks over the machine::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@<EO_Pettigrove> CO:  I'd love to.  Have they really achieved Warp 10?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*CIV*:  That I don't know.  Say hello to Rofax for me ... ::smiles::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
Rofax:  What do you think?

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ::moves to the machine, studying it::  Mikal: This is it.... isn't it? Your death in exchange for its mysteries?  ::moves closer::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
EO: In a sense they have. ::She makes her way into the town center toward the location of the machine::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> CO: Exactly where am I?  ::walks along with the others::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::follows and listens::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
Rofax:  It's possible I think to step aside at the moment of shut down, and be back to where you're meant to be.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She reaches the building where the machine is located and makes her way inside:: CEO: What do we need to do to turn it off, Jose?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: I'll need to set it to overload...you won't have long

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ~~~ ::senses the others:: ~~~ Mikal: Whatever needs to be done needs to happen soon.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::enters with the CO and looks the machine over::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Get inside the thing and begin the overload sequence, then I'll do the same outside

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::steps up to the machine and opens it::  Rofax:  Shall we both go?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head. She reaches the door and steps inside. Ashley raises an eyebrow at the individuals she now sees:: CIV: Mikal Luchena!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  ::stops the CO:: CO:  Let me do it.  I'm not supposed to be here, remember?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CO:  Hello Love.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::thinks...oh crud::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She withdraws a phaser from its holster:: CIV: Step aside, Ambassador.

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ~~~ ::overtakes Mikal's thoughts:: ~~~  Mikal: No.  ~~~ ::forces Mikal to step away from the machine and then enters it himself:: ~~~

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  ::looks around and sees Mikal:: CIV:  Mikal?

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::watches Rofax not speaking::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
~~~Rofax:  Safe  journey old friend.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She watches as Rofax steps inside. Ashley makes her way toward the machine herself:: CEO: What will it take for you to.. begin the process? ::She is uncertain what Rofax was doing, but assumed that he would 'disappear' like the others at first::

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ~~~ Mikal: It's not your time. Not yet. Get them away from here. Old friend.  ~~~

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
All:  I think we should get out of the building.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Just turn the power up to maximum, and leave it there

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CEO:  Do it and let's go!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  CEO/CO/CIV:  I'll do it!  Go!  ::moves over to the control console::

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The machine begins glowing and sensors show it will reach critical mass shortly.

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
All: Is Rofax still inside? If he does this - he could change the past and alter the future.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
ALL: We need to leave Now! :;sets the controls to overload::

Host Cootles says:
<Rofax> ~~~ EO: Ensign. Staying or coming with me? Your choice.  ~~~

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
CO:  It's done.  ::grabs the CO by the arm and pulls her away::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
CEO: Jose! I didn't mean at this very second! ::She tries to pull away from Mikal:: CIV: Let me go!

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CO: Too late! We need to go!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove>  ::moves to join Rofax::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::drags the CO away::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She continues to try and break free::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
<EO_Pettigrove> ::enters and stands beside Rofax::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::heads for the exit:: CO: Captain, we have to leave

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: A magnificent white light engulfs the machine. However, no explosion follows. The machine simply exists no more. Rofax and Pettigrove are gone as well.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::on the Pendragon Jordan picks up unusual power readings::

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She glares over at Mikal:: CEO: Then lets get out of here. ::She makes her way out toward the shuttle - now at a running pace::

CIV_Amb_Luchena says:
::lets go of the CO and looks at the empty spot in surprise::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::stops:: CO: I guess it's over.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
@*CO*:  Pendragon to away team.  I just read a massive power surge.  What's going on down there?

Host CO_Capt_Yates-Luchena says:
::She pauses and stops as well:: CEO: But is it really?

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: In the blink of an eye, where the machine was now stands a cloaked figure, one very familiar to the Ambassador.

Host Cootles says:
ACTION: The cloak falls to the ground revealing a young man. A man with a long and marvelous tale. A man known as Quinn. A man known as the child of Mikal Luchena.
