AXO_Rodz says:
@COMM: Vessel: I'm in command of this shuttle. We are on a peaceful mission testing this shuttel. We encoutered some problems.
TO_Augustus says:
@AXO: Ma'am this might be an indication of time travel, or dimensional travel we must be careful
CTO_Friday says:
::...or a transwarp conduit:: CO: Hmm...not exactly a wormhole sir. And not exactly a transwarp conduit either, but there's something there and it's close to one of those.
Host CO_tr`Keir says:
CTO: Can we re-create it?
CTO_Friday says:
CO: But it's different enough the computer doesn't recognize it and neither do I.
AXO_Rodz says:
@TO: Posibly this is not our Federation
FCO_tr`Keir says:

Tom says:
% COMM: May I ask what race you are? I have not seen that race before..
TO_Augustus says:
@CSO: Wait I do not agree we need a position firsat and foremost at least we should get that info and possibly a date time index.

% ::drops to Yellow Alert::
EO_Q`tor says:
@AXO: Find out from the "Bajoran" just where we are
TO_Augustus says:
@All: If we have done interdimensional or dimensional travel we are making first contact.  If we have traveled in time this information is even more important.
TO_Augustus says:
@AXO: we need a position fix to navigate they can provide that.
AXO_Rodz says:
@COMM: Tom: Can you tell us the date and location, please.
FCO_tr`Keir says:
@TO:  Have we traveled into time, or into an alternate reality?
CEO_Varek says:
@AXO:  Stay here until we can find out what is wrong with the engines.
TO_Augustus says:
@FCO: Undetermined with present info, CSO: Your opinion.
CSO_Akira says:

AXO_Rodz says:
@FCO: Thanks. Work with the CEO to find out how the engine works.

TO_Augustus says:
@AXO: Then I suggest very heavily that you consider requesting help Ma'am. They may have the technology needed to get us home?
CSO_Akira says:
@AXO: Ma'am.  Ask if we can have access to navagational charts.  Perhaps we can find some clues about Earth.
CTO_Friday says:
CO: Checking that now sir.
EO_Q`tor says:
@AXO: That would at least give us some reference point to look for.
AXO_Rodz says:
@CSO: Good idea.
CEO_Varek says:
@::works at trying to figure out the engines systems::
CTO_Friday says:
::the scans come back negative:: CO: No sir. ::sigh::
TO_Augustus says:
@ALL: I don't think a reference point will be of assistance.  We need to get to our time and place
FCO_tr`Keir says:
@AXO:  Ma'am... Our hosts do not appear to be hostile.  What you ask may need more then we have aboard with us.  Perhaps they could assist us.
CSO_Akira says:
@AXO, TO:  I believe that allowing them to access our ship may pose a threat to our Federation.
AXO_Rodz says:
@COMM:TOM: Can we have access to your navagational charts?

@CSO: Possibly, but we don't have much choice, since they can take this vessel at anytime.
AXO_Rodz says:
@ALL: I agree with the CSO I do not want them obnboard the challenger
CSO_Akira says:
@TO:  We always have an alternative to capture Ensign.

CTO_Friday says:
::studies the sensor playback of them warping out, feels his heart drop and looks over at the CO:: CO: More bad news sir. They weren't stabilized at any one speed, they were varying quite a bit. It's even more likely they didn't make it out of warp.

AXO_Rodz says:
@CEO: Can we do it again?
CTO_Friday says:
::watches the captain walking away, goes back to his simulation::
CSO_Akira says:
@AXO, CEO:  The tunnel lead us through dimensions.  The trick will be to get us back to ours.
AXO_Rodz says:
@CSO: Everything good with the transfer?
TO_Augustus says:
@FCO: If we hit warp 9.999 we could be anywhere, but we are in the Alpha quadrant in a different time.  If we went on a revers course simulating the same event we might e able to reverse the effect correct?
CSO_Akira says:
@AXO:  Aye.  There are several discrepancies from our charts.
CEO_Varek says:
@AXO:  We may be able to switch the polarity of a couple of di-poles and go back along the same course.
CTO_Friday says:

AXO_Rodz says:
@CEO: OK then we should try it again.
FCO_tr`Keir says:
@TO:  It is possible.  However, we are not in the place we came out.  We could go and revisit the borg.  To repeat exactly at this point is not... possible.

CEO_Varek says:
@FCO:  I am sending the data to your console  ::sends data to FCO console.
