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

Host Coot says:
The Pendragon began the search for their temporally displaced Captain. The search however, did not take them far. Somehow linked to the Excelsior-class vessel Vn'dor refuses to leave, the Intrepid-class was dragged along against her and the Crew's will. Dragging the Captain back against his will be another matter.

Host Coot says:

ACTION: The Pendragon gallops off to some unknown coordinates.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::Ashley turns her attention to Lieutenant Tribble as the intruder alert sounds:: CTO: Lieutenant, withdraw your phaser and accompany me to the Ready Room. I want two Security Officers on the Bridge immediately to guard the Briefing Room.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am.   ::accompanies::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::stands::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Counselor, I want that research done ASAP. ::She makes her way toward the Ready Room doors:: CTO: After you, Lieutenant.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::emerges onto the Bridge ... senses something isn't right::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::comms Security:: Ensigns Scully and Mulder to the Bridge on the double!

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::continues standing and watching the Executive Officer approach the ready room::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::pulls out phaser and enters::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::busy at her station studying the readings from her adventure in the ready room::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She "skips" in behind Tribble::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps back a few paces to get a better view::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully and Mulder enter the bridge and take up positions::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::approaches the Ready Room::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::looks around cautiously and quickly::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the doors the Ready Room slide open, the walls change in color from that of the Excelsior color scheme to that of the Intrepid. The last thing they see is the body of Vn'dor Phail dissolves into nothingness as well.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::watches from a distance::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Phail!   He's ...... he was there!   ::points::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She raises an eyebrow as she watches the scene change before her:: *CSO*: Kiera, I want a scan on the Ready Room immediately! Is the warp 10 field near?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::trying to concentrate on her job but keeps an eye on the ready room anyway, pausing at what she sees::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Ma'am, the colors changed.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::returns to his console::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Scans show that the RR has returned to normal.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::searches the database::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::moves to comply with the scan:: XO: Yes Sir

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CTO: It looks like this warp 10 field is playing us greatly. We need to find a way to gain some sort of control over it before this ship ends up half the Excelsior and half the Intrepid.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Well, they did.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am.  So it would seem.   ::scans for any clue::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::Studies the scans she's retrieving:: XO: The warp 10 field is still there but dissipating.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::vaguely recalls something about a hybrid ship, and wonders if this is them fulfilling that future::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She makes her way out of the Ready Room and back onto the Bridge:: All: We saw Captain Vn'dor for a few brief seconds. ::She looks toward Kiera:: CSO: Is there any way that we could potentially control the field? Just for a few moments so that we could get the Captain back?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CO:  Nothing notable about Alpha Sigma Nine in the database.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
Mulder: Did you see anything odd?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: So we are headed into the unknown... without control of the ship. ::She sighs:: Wonderful.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder>  aCTO: Odd?  Nothing more than normal.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: How long until we reach Alpha Sigma Nine?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO: I may be mistaken but I think Vn'dor Phail had that destination in his mind as well.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: Why do you think so, Mr. Luchena?

Host Coot says:
<FCO> XO: At the current rate of speed... 10 hours.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Really? ::She studies Quinn for a moment:: CNS: Do you have any idea why?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CNS:  If that's the case, it is then possible that his actions are affecting this ship.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::studies the scans and glances at the XO:: XO: I don't think so Sir ::goes back to the scans wondering if she can do as requested::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  No, but I'm wondering what would happen if the two ships occupied the same physical space.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: During different times?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She finally notices that Jordan has appeared on the Bridge. Ashley looks toward her and smiles briefly:: ~~~Jordan: I haven't seen you in a while Jordan. We'll need to catch up when things settle down.~~~ ::She pauses:: CNS: There have been reports of that very thing happening before. Of course, they are classified.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
CTO:  I think we're in different realities, but in the same time.  And soon in the same space.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CSO: Continue to try and devise a solution to do so Kiera. We need to be able to do something to try and get the Captain back.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
XO: Yes sir, I'm working on it. 

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  That would make sense, Ashley.  If the CNS is right, then it is likely that the actions of one ship would affect the other ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CNS: I hope you're wrong.  Two ships can't occupy the same space at the same time in the same universe.  ::shudders::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Physical proximity might stabilize the effect long enough for us to rescue Captain Vn'dor.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Initiating long-range scans of the area.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
All: I would assume that we are at the exact position the Excelsior Pendragon is. If we find a way to stop the Pendragon, then perhaps we can gain some sort of control over where we are going. I still don't like where this is going.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Give it a try Quinn.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::listening to the others as she works on the problem::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::studies the data as it comes through::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::sits at the helm::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She makes her way over to the command chair and takes a seat in it::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO: Alpha Sigma Nine is a binary star system, with 8 planets in an elliptical orbit, three of them class M.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::picks up her tricorder and turns to the XO:: XO: May I take more scans of the ready room? 

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
All: I want Vn'dor to realize that something isn't right in his neck of the woods either. ::She looks toward the FCO:: FCO: Ensign, bring us to an all stop.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::sees something of interest and narrows his scans::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CSO: Please do. ::She nods toward Quinn:: CNS: Why would Vn'dor want to go there?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: Aye all stop.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::prepares to accompany the CSO::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::brings the ship to all stop::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: Dead in the water sir, all stop.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CNS's console begins beeping a warning signal of sorts.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
XO: Thank you sir ::heads for the ready room, wondering what she'll find this time::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I don't know, but something is influencing our ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CTO/CSO: I want you two to be careful while you are in the Ready Room.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::startled, looks at his console::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I would assume the Warp 10 field would be the cause of the manipulation. Two ships fighting for control.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: What is it?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
XO: Understood, Ma'am.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::Stops just before entering:: XO: You can believe I will ... Sir ::steps hesitantly inside::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees she's no longer of use ... turns and leaves::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::points her phaser ahead, for all the good that will do::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Jordan, I need you here for the moment.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon slows to a stop, grudgingly.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::stops::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: I may require your knowledge of communication systems. I want to try and send a message to the other Pendragon...

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::begins scanning the ready room::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  There's an energy reading midway between the two suns.  It doesn't make any sense.  ::adjusts the sensors::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CSO: If you feel anything odd or scan anything odd, be prepared to get out of here in a hurry.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She looks toward Quinn:: CNS: What sort of energy reading?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The CSO detects a subspace "hotspot" where she was standing when she transported to the Excelsior-class.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I can't even confirm there is something there.  But the solar energy from each sun is clearly being deflected from something.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Ensign, I want you to devise a way to increase our power flow so that we maintain control of our ship systems and the Excelsior Pendragon loses its control. Work with engineering and monitor our operating systems very closely.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns to the OPS console, relieving the junior officer present.  Sits and begins to configure a signal that may reach the other Pendragon::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Prepare a probe and send it toward the location of the reading. Hopefully it will allow us to clarify our scans.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::frowns as she reads the data but continues a slow trip around the room, not liking being there::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Engines power back up and the ships begins moving again. A pawn in some temporal tug-o-war.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> XO: Should I take the Tactical position, Ma'am?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::feels the ship move::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She feels the ship begin to move yet again:: FCO: Ensign, see if you can regain control of the ship's movement.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::prepares a sensor probe::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She stands up and moves over to Jordan:: Jordan: Do you think it is possible?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CSO: Feel that? We're moving again.  Scans show anything odd?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Maybe .... ::continues to make adjustments:: XO:  We'd need the frequency of that other ship ...

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
aCTO: Nothing other than increased readings here ::indicates the area of the readings::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: We should have it in our system. Kiera was able to take scans of the Excelsior while she was in their reality.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::launches the probe::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
CSO: Any type of temporal signature that might give us a clue as to why we started moving?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
All: Who on this ship would Vn'dor know the best? Someone who would jog his memory in some capacity.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Mulder slips into the Tactical position::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  He thinks I'm an "imposter".

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: All: He doesn't know me... ::She looks at Jordan:: Jordan: Did you ever serve with him?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO: Not before he came here, no.  But I did serve with some he DID know ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan:... and who was that?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ready Room shifts colors again. It has returned to Excelsior design.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::stops scanning and looks up as the rooms shifts colors ... again:: 

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Captain Rofax for one ...

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Do you believe he would respond to someone describing a friend and colleague from the past?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  And even better ... I have a memory imprint of Rofax in my mind from when he was Captain ... that is something I could use ...

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> XO: Ma'am, perhaps he would remember me.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  He might.  His surface memories are only of his Pendragon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She inclines her head:: Jordan: Very good. When you have communications ready, you will be the one to send a message to him with whatever information you have.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Mulder: Do you know him well?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Mulder> XO: Scully knew him better.  ::smiles::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Mulder: How well? ::She eyes him::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Internal sensors indicate the CSO and CTO are no longer on board the Intrepid-Pen.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  One other thing ... in order to show him the imprint ... I will have to be near him ...

Host FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: Sir I might be able to help with our engine problems can I get access to the engineering console up here?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Nothing helpful coming back from the sensor probe.  It's scans are being deflected from the anomaly.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> XO: We socialized a bit, Ma'am.  ::smiles::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: What the.....   where...... ?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Yes, Ensign. Please do what you can. I want you to do whatever possible to increase our power flow so that we can perhaps overtake control of the Excelsior Pendragon. Perhaps that will bring Vn'dor to some sort of realization.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears a beep:: XO:  I'm no longer reading Ensign Humbard or Lt Tribble on internal sensors ...

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: Aye.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: What now? ::Looking around her and getting frustrated::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She raises an eyebrow:: Jordan: Of course not. ::She motions for Quinn to accompany her:: Jordan: Keep working on the communications. It looks like we may have Scully speak with him...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Ready Room doors slide open to reveal an empty Excelsior-class bridge.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Self: Follow the plasma flow regulators, to the injector assembly pass the manifold and restrictor plating.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::stands and moves toward the XO::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::pulls up fuel mix ratios and matter & anti-matter mix ratios::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She makes her way toward the Ready Room::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::laughs:: aCTO: You think so? I'm getting tired of being played with.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: I am going to re-route emergency power to our engines.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully>  XO: If I can help, I'm ready.   I am sure he'd remember me... at least, I hope so. ::nervous::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::reroutes emergency power to engines::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::obtains what she needs and patches the comm's ... thinks she may be ready:: XO:  Ashley, I think I'm ready to try comms ...
CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::follows the XO::  XO:  It might be safer if I go first Ma'am.  We're running a bit short of commanding officers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Avoid using emergency power at all costs, because we may need it later. ::She nods toward Jordan:: Jordan: Get with Scully and record a message to try and send. You have the Bridge. ::She nods toward Quinn:: CNS: By all means.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps forward and up to the door of the Ready Room::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: We're aboard a wrecked ship.  I'll check the panels

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::pulls up Deflector Control:: XO: I am going to try something to push us forward, I am going to build up static warp particles to our aft and have them react against the shields in repelling motion

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods:: Scully:  Over here.  Let's see what we can do. ::waits for him::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::disengages emergency power at the XO's order::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon shudders and slows, engines fighting against stopping.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@ ::goes back to scanning to keep her mind on something other than where they are:: aCTO: I wonder what's causing the shifts?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::reworks fuel mix ratio and coolant ratio::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Ready Room opens to reveal a normal looking room.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps into the ready room and looks around::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: If we could figure it out, we'd be able to stop it.  ::checks the panel for information::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
XO: We should have a bit more power now, I had the computer recalculate the mix ratios for fuel and coolant, I am working on matter/anti-matter now.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@ aCTO: I hope so 

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
FCO: Take power from non-essential systems such as the Holodecks. Coordinate with Mrs. Thraxis, who is currently handling operations. ::She nods:: FCO: It sounds like you're doing a great job. Keep it up. ::She follows behind Quinn into the Ready Room::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully moves to where Jordan points and waits further orders::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  There's no one in here.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::begins process to build static warp particles aft of the ship outside the shields::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: Is there any sign of the Warp 10 field?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::opens the channel.  Motions to Scully to being speaking to Phail::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::transfers power off all non-essential systems::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::turns as the XO walks through the door.  Eyes go wide::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The comm on the Exc-Pendragon is beeping.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  There.  ::points through the open door at the bridge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully>COM: Excelsior Pendragon: Captain Phail?   This is Ensign Scully aboard the Pendragon.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::starts to ponder::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Self: I got it, the Borg...

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::pulls up the tractor beam and checks to make sure for efficient power routing::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Do you see the Excelsior Bridge like I do?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Scully:  I think it's working ... but no-one's responding ...

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The deflector dish fires, adding to the slowing affect. The Pendragon is nearly at full-stop.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::gets an alarm that they are slowing down::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
::Scully concentrates hard:: COM: Excelsior Pendragon: Captain Phail.   This is Scully.  Please answer.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She turns toward the the Ready Room doors and looks out of them:: CNS: No... I see the Intrepid.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::moves around the ready room and scans more not knowing what else to do::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  That's interesting.  ::backs up a few paces and looks again::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Scully's voice is heard over the comm system.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> COM: Excelsior Pendragon:  Captain Phail.  Please respond.   This is Scully from the Pendragon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She steps deeper into the Ready Room and taps her Combadge:: *FCO*: Luchena to Drew. Do our sensors show Ensign Luchena still aboard the Pendragon?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps to the right and keeps looking::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  This is very odd.  ::walks towards the Ready Room door::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::taps comm badge:: *Engineering*: This is Ensign Drew, can you prepare to activate the emergency plasma fuel stop. I am going to lock the injectors by force.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Care to press that button?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
<Engineering>*FCO*: Standby sir...ok done. Go ahead.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO:  Progress, Ensign?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::overrides the safety protocols and shuts down the injectors::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: It is indeed. If you were in the other reality, I wouldn't be able to see you. Are we in some sort of limbo?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *FCO*: Ensign, I need a response now.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: Yeah .. and get zapped somewhere else?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Jordan: Some the static warp particles I created are dragging us down and slowing us down.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::sees CSO decline.   Pushes the button and hears a horn.::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  We're growing closer to the coordinates.  I don't know what's going to happen.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*XO*: Checking...

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::runs a sensor sweep for the Ensign::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: But we aren't moving very fast... I would assume the energy would not affect us at this distance.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::grimaces as a loud noise comes through over the comm::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*XO*: Still on board.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
<Scully> Jordan: Do you want me to keep trying?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  Have you thought about who keeps taking control of this ship?  It must be a person, but are they affecting us through time?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*Engineering*: Shut down the deuterium fuel flow as well.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: Scully: No.  We will attempt it again later.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon's engines shutdown, causing the ship to come to a stop.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*FCO*: Understood. Thank you Ensign. ::She looks toward Quinn:: CNS: I believe, as Jordan has stated, our two vessels are fighting for control. When one vessel issues a command, the other fights to remain on its present course or present function.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Jordan: All stop. ::sighs in relief::

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Scully is no longer heard on the Excelsior comm.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  The ships are metal and conduits.  That implies a shared consciousness.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::feels the ships momentum stop:: FCO:  Nice work, Ensign. *XO*:  Ashley, this is Jordan.  We've come to full stop.  Attempts at comms were partially successful.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I'm only reading three people on this ship. You, Me and one other, in engineering.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Jordan: Thank you, Permission to go to Engineering, I want to do some preventative measures so we stay at all stop until we figure out what's going on.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: We only make one choice out of the infinite possibilities. Perhaps our vessels are linked in some way... and when we make one choice, the other makes an alternate one. I really don't know Quinn. This is all... new to me.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Granted, Ensign.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Oh? Engineering?  Shall we go pay a visit?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  You should return to your bridge, Ma'am.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*Jordan*: Partially successful? Did you get through?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  I believe the signal did get through, however there was no response.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::gets up from the helm and restores normal control to the control and motions for crewman to take the helm::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I guess we should. It might help us figure out what's happening?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::enters TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: I won't allow you to remain here alone for the time being. Take your station as well Quinn. I can't afford to have you leave this ship as well. ::She moves toward the exit, but waits for Quinn::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: You can stay here, if you like.  But, I'm going.  Whoever is there may hold the key.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
XO:  I'll be right behind you.  ::still seeing the Excelsior bridge::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
*Jordan*: Continue to send the message on a rotating frequency. Perhaps someone there will take the initiative and answer.

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: I didn't say I didn't want to go. 

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
CNS: First, Quinn. ::She says it in an "order-like" tone::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*XO*:  Understood.  ::sets the comm to automatically send at 5 minute intervals::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
::steps through the Ready Room door::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::exits TL and enters Engineering walks over to the duty officer in charge::

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::smiles:: Let's go.  ::proceeds toward Engineering::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: As the XO and CNS exit the Ready Room, the XO strides onto the bridge, but the CNS finds himself standing on the bridge of the Excelsior, looking at the CTO and CSO.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::sees the CSO and CTO leaving the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
Duty Officer: I am going to take command for the time being, I have orders to make sure we solve this problem and get it permanent.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She slams her fist against the wall:: All: Damn!

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::follows the aCTO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns::

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CSO/CTO:   Hey!  Wait up.  ::hurries after them::

::watches as the first comm is sent ... waits for a response::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Internal sensors confirm the CNS is no longer on board.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
<Duty Officer>::thinks he is a Lt taking orders from an Ensign, but takes them anyways:: FCO: Understood Ensign.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The CNS hears the Comm beep.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::makes her way through the wrecked ship.  Turns and sees the CNS:: What are you doing here?

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@::Stops hearing the CNS::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: We need to gain control of this mess Jordan. ::She taps her Combadge:: *FCO*: Luchena to Drew. Belay my previous order. ::She pauses:: *FCO*: Bring the ship's engines back online.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::stops::  CTO:  What's that?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::nods in agreement:: XO:  The question is, how?

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Computer: Notify the Bridge when either Lieutenant Tribble, Ensign Humbard, or Ensign Luchena return to the Pendragon. Notify the Bridge if any officer leaves the Pendragon from this point on.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at Ashley:: XO:  What are you thinking?

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CTO: There's someone in Engineering.  Perhaps he holds the answers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She sighs:: Jordan: I don't know Jordan... but I know that we need to go to Alpha Sigma Nine.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  So we let the Excelsior Pen take us there?

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
All: Okay everyone I need people to go to Deck 6 and 7, disconnect deuterium injectors manually. Then another team to Deck 14 and 15 to shut down the injectors for the core to prevent a jump in the propulsion system.

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@::nods::  CTO:  I'll stay here and run an internal sensor sweep.  Captain Vn'dor must be here somewhere.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Computer beeps accordingly to the XO's order.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: Like a chicken to the slaughter....

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::looks over to a crewman:: Crewman: I need you to take a team and check the Antimatter storage units and see if you can lock down those tanks and cut of the fuel lines there for it to the injectors.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CNS:  The only other person aboard is in Engineering.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Internal scans now show four individuals aboard the Excelsior. Three on the bridge, one in Main Engineering.... swearing.... colorfully.... in Bajoran.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Not a nice thought ...

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
<Crewman>FCO: Aye, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
Jordan: I want to be prepared for what is coming. Is there any new data from the probe Quinn sent out?

CNS_Ens_Luchena says:
@CTO:  And it looks like its him.  Let's go.  ::dashes to a Turbo Lift::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
::tries to stay focused::

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::taps comm badge:: *Jordan* Bridge, this is Ensign Drew, I need clarification, if we jump to impulse or warp again, do I have authorization to dump the core?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Checks the probe for any new information::

Host XO_Cmdr_Yates-Luchena says:
::She hears the FCO and raises an eyebrow:: *FCO*: Belay my previous order. We are to return to normal ship operations.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*XO*: Orders received will do.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@::follows CNS:: Be careful!

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*FCO*:  Ensign, belay the Commander's last orders and bring propulsion back on line.  Then report back up here.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*Jordan* Understood.

aCTO_LT_Tribble says:
@CSO: Are you with us?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Intrepid Pendragon lurches forward once again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
XO:  Nothing new from the probe.  It's scans are still being reflected.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
All: Belay all my orders get the ship back to flight status now! On the double override the kill switch to the plasma regulators.

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
::taps on the console in front of him to bring the engines back online::

CSO_Ens_Humbard says:
@aCTO: Yes, Lead the way

FCO_Ens_Drew says:
*XO*: You should have engines back any moment.
