Host Beth says:
Summary: The Pharaoh has flown through another temporal strand in an attempt to return to a normal timeline.  Was their attempt successful?  Or have they found themselves deeper into a temporal maze? Stay tuned.....

Host Beth says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host Beth says:
Action: The Pharaoh comes through the strand and ends up in open space again.

CSO_Sumner says:
::Sits pensively at the science station, hoping the experiment worked::

XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the darkness of space.  She holds her breath hoping.::

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Where are we Ens?  ::Closes her eyes::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::checks the sensors::

CSO_Sumner says:
::Aligns the sensors and analyzes star positions::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: I have another ship on sensors...

CMO_Balena says:
::looks around the bridge at the others::

XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Identify then open a channel.

CMO_Balena says:
CTO: Is it Federation

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: About 15 light years away....it's one of ours...it's a defiant class

CMO_Balena says:
::takes a sigh of relief::

XO_Santiago says:
CMO:  Doctor, start doing a head count.  Have Ens Montague give you a hand.

CSO_Sumner says:
XO: Sir, we're exactly where we were when we first encountered the strand.

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Stardate?

XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Hail the ship.

CSO_Sumner says:
::Runs some calculations::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: Opening hail

CSO_Sumner says:
XO: 2006, anno domini, sir.

XO_Santiago says:
COM: Defiant:  This is Commander Santiago of the USS Pharaoh, please respond.

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: aww....phoey

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: Don't bother...we won't answer

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Excellent.... so did we loose any time?

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to look through the database to see if the missing members are there:: XO: Sir the missing crew is still missing

XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  What?  Are we looking at ourselves?

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: Sumner just said it was 2006

CSO_Sumner says:
::Thinks briefly:: XO: I don't think so, sir. I think we might have gained a few minutes, actually.

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The communications system is not working properly.  The message could not be sent.

XO_Santiago says:
::Yells:: CTO:  I know what he said!!!

XO_Santiago says:
::Runs a hand through her hair.::

CSO_Sumner says:
::Glances briefly between the XO and CTO::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::looks a little wide eyed at the XO::

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Ok, 2006, are the Lizards still here?

CSO_Sumner says:
::Begins scanning the sector::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: ::whispers to himself:: Hope your sister's not like this

CNS_Montaug says:
::enters turbolift:: Computer: Bridge.

XO_Santiago says:
;:hisses::  CTO:  I'm sorry didn't mean to yell at you.  I also hate to disappoint you, I'm the calm one of the family.

CMO_Balena says:
::looks at the XO for a comment on his statement::

CSO_Sumner says:
XO: No sign, sir, but I can't trust our sensors fully...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: .......oi vey

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Ok, find us another strand and let's try this again.

XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  What is up Commander?

CSO_Sumner says:
XO: At least not long range... they might still be here, sir.

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: let's get out of here....before we shoot ourselves and never have this conversation in the first place

XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the Doctor::  CMO:  I'm sorry.  I understand.  Maybe our next jump will bring them back.  ::Tries to smile.::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
XO: The other defiant has just taken off at fast warp towards earth

CSO_Sumner says:
::Looks to the XO and CTO Incredulously, before remembering his place::

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  Ensign, try your magic again.  You have the ball.

CNS_Montaug says:
::enters bridge room:: XO: Counselor reporting for duty.  How are we?

CSO_Sumner says:
::Grimaces slightly, then turns to the commander:: XO: Sir, i must object... it's a bad idea to just count this timeline as wrong...

XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the counsellor::  CNS:  Welcome to the bridge Ens.  We are not doing so good.  Commander Quchant lost his head because I bit it off.  The poor doctor thinks I'm mad at him... slow in answering.

XO_Santiago says:
CSO:  It's not the timeline Ens.  It’s the timeframe.

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CNS: Could be worse doc...

CSO_Sumner says:
::Mumbles something to himself along the lines of being foolish, and begins prepping another torpedo, as well as a chronotron wave::

CNS_Montaug says:
::nods:: CTO: Well, how can we confirm or deny this is where we belong?

CMO_Balena says:
::stands up and offer his seat tot he CNS::

CSO_Sumner says:
XO: I've been able to locate another strand... 10 minutes at maximum warp, Sir.

XO_Santiago says:
CMO:  Doctor, my apologies I wasn't ignoring you.  ::Closes her eyes again.::  Do you have something for a headache?

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CNS: We throw the nearest psychologist of out the window and see if he disappears?

XO_Santiago says:
AFCO:  Head for the strand.  Ens Sumner will give you the coordinates.

CMO_Balena says:
::moves over to the medkit and takes out the tricorder::

CSO_Sumner says:
::Transfers coordinate to the AFCO::

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to scan the XO::

XO_Santiago says:
<AFCO> XO:  Aye Ma'am.  ::Waits for the coordinates from the CSO.::

CNS_Montaug says:
Quchant: I don't think this is a time to be so jovial.  The crew need a home existence.

XO_Santiago says:
<AFCO> ::Receives the coordinates and enters.::  XO: Engaging warp 9.

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CNS: Who said I was kidding

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::checks the sensors for the strand::

CMO_Balena says:
::places the tricorder down and fixes a hypo::

CNS_Montaug says:
::stares:: Quchant: Sir, I still fail to see the humor...

CSO_Sumner says:
::Turns in his seat to the XO, keeping his voice calm:: XO: Sir, I have to advise against trying this too often... We're toying with our very existence...

CMO_Balena says:
::places the hypo to the XO neck and presses the button:: XO: how do you feel now?

XO_Santiago says:
CMO:  Nauseous....

CMO_Balena says:
XO: I hope your not pregnant again

CMO_Balena says:
::moves back to the medkit and grabs the tricorder again::

XO_Santiago says:
CMO:  I better not be.  It will be the immaculate conception if I was.

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to scan the XO more detailed scan::

XO_Santiago says:
::Passes out.::

CSO_Sumner says:
::Simply stares at the XO's limp body:: self: Sooo not good...

CMO_Balena says:
XO: Sir I have some bad news for you

CNS_Montaug says:
::dashes to the XO, stares in shock:: aloud: whaa.....

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::Jumps up and catches the XO::

CMO_Balena says:
XO: Looks like you have caught that virus from the planet. ::press another hypo to her neck and injects her::

CSO_Sumner says:
::Suddenly coming back to reality, he checks his console, then looks to the CTO:: CTO: 3 minutes ‘til we hit the strand... what are your orders, sir?

CMO_Balena says:
XO: Sir you are now on limited duty for at least 24 hours

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: No change....

Host CTO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Full speed...lets catch that strand

CSO_Sumner says:
::Prepares to launch the torpedo and the chronotron wave::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CMO: Take her to sickbay

CMO_Balena says:
::quickly grabs the XO and carries her to the exit::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh catches up with the strand.

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Standing by, sir.

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: let's do it

CSO_Sumner says:
::Lightly pounding his console, unable to keep quiet, Sumner stands and looks to Quchant:: CTO: Sir, what the hell are we doing?

CMO_Balena says:
::exits the bridge and carries the XO through the halls to sickbay::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: don't you have to launch something to make us jump into the strand?

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Sir, that's not the point... aren't we trying to stop the snake guys from taking over the planet?

CMO_Balena says:
::finally reaches sickbay and places the XO on a body bed::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: you're not  thinking 4th dimensionally....if we fix the timeline...they never will have done so

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Isn't this the point where they took over the planet, 2006?

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: We're there already...I thought we needed to jump again?

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: I think maybe the XO was confused... sir...

CMO_Balena says:
Outloud: Woo I'll have to remember to put Antia on a diet

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: I hate temporal physics sometimes...ok...we should have some more of the common cold virus....let's release it....kill the snakes

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: We'll be needing to get to earth, first...

CMO_Balena says:
::takes a seat near the XO biobed and starts to program::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Get us in orbit of Earth...full speed...and don't spare the horses

CSO_Sumner says:
::sits back at his station, feeling immense relief, and slight boost in self-confidence::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh turns and speeds back to Earth at maximum warp.

CNS_Montaug says:
::nods head:: CTO: That's the spirit....

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to run a more detailed scan of the Santiago and looks at scans on the large display::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CNS: Counsellor...I have a very low tolerance for psycobabble when it's on the bridge in the middle of a crisis.  Please try and contain yourself

CSO_Sumner says:
::Aligns the scanners, scanning for strands and snakes::

Host Beth says:
ACTION: 3 hours later, the Pharaoh approaches Earth and the sensors light up.

CSO_Sumner says:
::Reviews alerts::

CMO_Balena says:
::runs a final scan of Anita and smiles to see the virus is gone::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::fights the urge to check the sensors himself::

CMO_Balena says:
::places a hypo against her neck and wakes her up::

CMO_Balena says:
::soft shakes her shoulder:: XO: Anita?

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::checks the chair readout::

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Sir, I’m picking up a battle ahead. It looks like the fight between us and the snakes. We could probably use a hand...

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: And, for the record, sir, I always think in at least 5 dimensions...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: good...you'll be a pushover in plactow then

CSO_Sumner says:
::smirks slightly, keeping his mind on the task at hand::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: ....dammit...we could screw up the timeline even more....

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CNS: Counsellor...get on the sensors

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Take out one of the enemy ships...

CNS_Montaug says:
::shakes head:: CTO: Aye sir...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Evasive maneuvers

Host CTO_Quchant says:
ALL Hands: Battle Stations!

CSO_Sumner says:
::Scans for any possible weakness in the enemy vessels::

CMO_Balena says:
::looks up at lights as everything dims and alarms go off::

CNS_Montaug says:
::Observes sensors:: CTO: There's ships over there...

CSO_Sumner says:
::Can't help but laugh::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Something funny mister?

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: There is humor in all things, sir, including asking the Counselor to take tactical... CNS: No offense, counselor...

CNS_Montaug says:
CSO: I can't agree with you more...I find this much more comical than sending me overboard...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Get me a weak spot on the closest enemy vessel

CSO_Sumner says:
::Continues his scans::

CMO_Balena says:
::starts to shake the XO hard and raises his voice:: XO: Sir it's time to wake up.

CMO_Balena says:
::quickly grabs a tricorder and scans the XO:: Self: What the heck did I miss?

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Sir, the other we have damaged one of the vessels' propulsion system. I suggest targeting it and shooting it, or something like that...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: sounds good to me....do it

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Do it? Are you asking me to take tactical, sir?

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: no...it's ok...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::punches up the mini tactical display on the chair's arms'....targets the vessel's propulsion and fires::

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: I will, I just need clarification...

CSO_Sumner says:
::Quickly dismisses images of a science officer blowing up other ships in glory::

CNS_Montaug says:
::stares, sitting very still:: CTO: Sir, may I make a suggestion?

CMO_Balena says:
::places as any monitors on the XO to try to figure out what’s going on::

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Sir, we've taken out their propulsion systems

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Good....

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Target the other alien vessel...

CSO_Sumner says:
::Does so, then turns to face the CTO:: CTO: What about the virus, sir?

Host Beth says:
ACTION:  Suddenly the first Pharaoh disappears and the alien ships regroup.

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: Sir, the other Pharaoh just time shifted...

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::looks at the sensors::

CNS_Montaug says:
::taps comm badge:: *CMO*: How is the XO faring?

CMO_Balena says:
::sees that the virus had caused some damage before it was removed::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: Oh great.....

Host CTO_Quchant says:
::looks at the mini sensor panel on the other arm of the chair::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO : Do I read this right...are they heading away from earth?

CMO_Balena says:
*CNS*: The virus has been removed but had caused some brain damage. Which is not letting her wake up

CSO_Sumner says:
::Checks his readings::

CMO_Balena says:
::moves a tray of tools over to biobed and then goes puts on surgical gown::

CNS_Montaug says:
::shakes head:: Self: Don't leave us with...him...

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: That appears to be correct, sir... ::Begins formulating an idea, smiling to himself::

CMO_Balena says:
::moves back to the XO and turns her head and injects her with a heavy sedative::

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: ....what?

CSO_Sumner says:
CTO: They appear to be moving away from Earth...

CMO_Balena says:
Self: Lets get to work

Host CTO_Quchant says:
CSO: you have something?

CNS_Montaug says:
Self: Please wake up, ma’am....
