<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Continues on course to Decon 1299 ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::On the bridge monitoring science::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::heading down hall from quarters to a TL::

CNS_Lt_Raythan says:
::Sitting in his office contemplating things::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rubs a hand across her face, exhausted::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::standing near the back of the bridge, facing the viewscreen with contemplation::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::smiles wanly at nurse Johnston and tries to focus on the padd in her hands::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CMO*: Dr. if you have the time I believe I need another dose of pain killer.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::enters TL:: Bridge

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Nods to the CO ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods and then realizes the FCO can't see her:: *FCO*: Ah..  right.  Where are you?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::entering bridge he nods to the FCO::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CMO*: On the bridge of course.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Captain,  the Rainier's crew manifest indicates that the Captain is human. Or should be. ::bewildered, realizes he has just arrived::

TO_Ens_K`Eloda says:
::at tactical station  monitoring everything::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::rolls her eyes at Xara as she grabs her supplies and exits sickbay:: *FCO*: Of course.  On my way.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CO: Sir in my transmission to the Rainier I gave no indication of suspecting anything out of the ordinary.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: As I thought.  We will need to try and compare our data with that of our current situation.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::pulls up the record of all transmissions to and from the Rainier:: Sulek: Aye Captain

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::enters onto the bridge and heads for the FCO::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  Perhaps if we request the information from the Rainier in a one way transfer.  Tell them we have a variance in our database as a result of the temporal shift in the wormhole.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. Thank you. I didn't think physicians made house calls anymore.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
FCO: I guess you're just special.  ::dryly::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  It is after all a true statement.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::administers the rexalin for pain::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::steps down towards the FCO's station:: CMO: Where's mine?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'll attempt to relay that message:: sends a message to the Rainier::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks at the CEO blankly:: CEO: Huh?  Your what?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I am curious as to who should be in command of the Q.  I would not wish to make a mistake that could alter the shift we might be in.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::lets a grin escape from his dead serious expression:: CMO: Sorry, apparently I was wrong in thinking I was a special person too.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::small smile, rolls her eyes:: CEO: Oh... you're special all right.  Smarty pants.  Don't mess with a doc who's had no sleep!

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Sir? Do you feel yourself to be unfit for command? Or were you referring to the entire away team?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CO: Sir. A return course to the wormhole is plotted should it become necessary. However it may be collapsed by that time.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
FCO: If you don't mind I'd like to try giving you something that should act to help your immune system fight off the infection.  I have it right here.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: As you suggest.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::nods and proceeds to do so::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks towards Ved:: CMO/FCO: I think Ved just enjoys your company Doctor.

TO_Ens_K`Eloda says:
::sits at tactical just watching the monitors and making sure everything is going to be alright::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks at the CEO like he's nuts:: CEO: You sure you didn't hit your head while you were on that planet?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  No.  I am simply curious as to what this change in space seems to hold.  If the Rainier now has a Breen in command and there is an alteration in insignia, we need to be careful if the wormhole has caused some sort of anomalous shift.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: An illogical assumption Cmdr.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::pretends to gasp:: FCO: Why Ved, you don't enjoy the Doctor's bedside manner?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ved: Understood.  As I understand it, you and the bridge team managed to expand it slightly.  Perhaps that bought us a little more time.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::sarcastically:: CEO: See?  Where's the love?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CO: Perhaps sir, but it was merely a temporary fix to the situation.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
CEO: it breaks my heart, really. ::mournful::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I agree, however, for the time being, as long as the command staff at least appears to be intact, you should command. We can't be sure what is going on at this point, and I'd like our most experienced officer, meaning you, in command. Who else could make wiser choices? ::genuine smile::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::losses his playful act, and bends down slightly, speaking in a quieter, more serious tone:: FCO: I appreciate what you did when we were on that planet.  I wish you the best of recovery.  ::looks at the Doctor, encouragingly::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  I have no intention of relinquishing command.  I just wish to be sure that we give the correct appearance to those outside of the Q.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Your thought are most appreciated.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Feels the effect of the relaxin ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shakes her head:: CEO: You're an odd duck, Everitt

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::heads towards the med console and takes a gander::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::looks at the captain:: Sulek....I see your point....how about a little experiment. We send an audio/visual transmission - to ourselves. We can bounce it off the nearest relay and see what it comes back as.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::follows in step with Morgan:: CMO: Perhaps I would be, if I were a duck.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::laughs::  CEO: Touché.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Watches as the CMO moves towards the console and remembers that transporter incident and quickly removes it from his mind::

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
CMO: MacTavish made a full recovery I hear?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: An interesting thought, but we will more than likely see only ourselves.  You may try if you like.  Any response about a data transfer from the Rainier?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::a smile lights up her face making her look less tired:: CEO: Yeah.  He's doing much better.  Just took him a little longer to wake up is all.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Are you saying that our perception has been altered, or the physical reality surrounding us?

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::moves his attention from the Doctor to Sulek and Pangborn upon overhearing their discussion of "altered reality"::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::tries to ignore "altered reality" talk.  Her job was to fix the people that the command staff broke.  The end.::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: The link is up and operational, It'll be a minute before we have any answers

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  Our perceptions may have been altered, or, more likely,  the temporal shifts caused by the instability of the wormhole may have caused us to enter out of our own normal space.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::steps back from the consol and heads for the TL in the hopes of making a quick exit::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  Run full comparison and list any anomalous data.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'm going to run an analysis of the wormhole data, and try my little experiment ::bounces a full audio and visual transmission off the nearest relay, wait for it to come back::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Begins to grow tired of this monotonous discussion and begins tapping fingers on console::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I'm on it now

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::Steps out of the TL and heads towards sickbay once more::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Preliminary reports indicate no temporal shifts

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning:: Ved:  run scans for variance in quantum signatures on the Quirinus and nearby systems and asteroids.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::enters sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::puzzled:: Sulek: Apparently...the data we received on the Giranti civilization is totally different from what we had in our database ::looks over the comparison::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Then why is the Rainier commanded by a Breen who quotes non-existent contamination regulations.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Thinks to himself, "Quantum signature variances. Childs play."::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Begins the scans as ordered ::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
K'lresh: Do me a favour and work with Xara on those tissue samples?  I want...  No.  We NEED to have that sorted out immediately.  Yesterday would be nice.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I concur...however...who do we trust now? A Breen captain from who knows where? All we're doing is having more questions thrown at us, with no obvious solution.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  This would seem to indicate a shift in history and the probability is that we have indeed shifted into an alternate space or time continuum

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I agree. ::wryly:: What's the logical choice here? Do we go back through the wormhole? Or stay our course.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Would it be possible to get more power to my sensors for these scans?

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
<Xara Johnston> CMO: How did the Commander respond to the booster?  Did it work like we predicted?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
::Thinks:: Why did I give up my search...for this? ::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: A sudden shift in our course without a reasonable explanation, could alter this timeline.  However, our staying is just as likely to do so.  If the Q is in parallel, then our doubles are now in another dimension as well, pondering the exact same thing.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::steps back to his console:: FCO: Maximum power to the sensors is available at your discretion sir.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::thinks::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CEO: Affirmative. Thank you.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::shakes her head:: Johnston:  It didn't appear to.  It seems this tumor is not following standard growth patterns for Vulcan physiology.  We'll give it some time though.  Just in case.  It might have needed a bit of time to start working.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
Johnston: In the mean time keep at it and let me know how you're doing.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  To make a reasoned decision as to inform the Rainier of our predicament, we need to run a comparison to their regulations on temporal shifts.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CO: Sir no quantum variances found. :: thinks to self ..as I expected ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::hesitant:: Sulek: It's reasonable to assume that if the Breen are a part of the federation in this parallel, wouldn't they be willing to help us? Given they have no knowledge of the course of events in Our reality.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::searches the Rainier's database transmission for information on alternate reality regulations::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::heads into her office and makes attempts at being productive::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I am inclined to agree.  We cannot continue as it is and simply do nothing.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Wishes he could break down and scream from the pain in his leg ::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CMO*: Dr. There seems to be very little relief from your last treatment.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::frowns:: *FCO*  None?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
*CMO*: Dr. I would not interrupt you if it had.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::exits her office, prepared to head back to the bridge::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::takes a deep breath:: *FCO*: I'm on my.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::deep breath:: Sulek: Should I contact them and inform them of the situation?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  In any case we need to return to the wormhole before it collapses. Hail the Rainier.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::hails the Rainier:: Sulek: Aye Sir

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moves down to stand in front of his command chair::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Continues on course::

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Rainier:  This is Captain Sulek.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::decides to finally sit down at his station::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::enters onto the bridge again::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Rainier> COMM Sulek: Yes Captain

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: On screen.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::hits the visual:: Sulek: On screen

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Rainier: A comparison of our data to yours reveals that we may have dimensional shifted as a result of the wormhole effect.  Since neither of us have a regulation regarding this event, I thought it best to bring it to your attention.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::approaches Ved and gives him another dose of rexalin.  Takes a scan while she's there:: Self/FCO: This isn't making any sense..

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. I believe I've become quite a problem child for you.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::small smile:: FCO: Not your fault.  I feel badly that I haven't been able to get this cleared up for you.  I've never had this kind of trouble before.

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Rainier> COMM Sulek: Dimensional shifting... The nature of the shift?  We are commencing scans of your ship right now to ascertain more data.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::takes a look at the scans of the FCO::

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Yes. Vulcan physiology does complicate things.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Smells the scent of her hair::

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::Shakes her head, frowning:: FCO: No.  It's not that.  This tumor is not following standard growth patterns for Vulcan physiology.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Rainier:  In our dimension, we have not had any catastrophic plague.  Having discussed this with the XO, we believe it may be necessary to go through the wormhole before it collapses.  If we are indeed parallel, the Quirinus from this dimension should try to do the same thing.  It only remains to be seen if they will try it at the same moment.

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
::looks at the Cmdr strangely:: FCO: Ah.. Cmdr?

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
:: Snaps out of it :: CMO: Dr. ???

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
ACTION: The Bridge behind the Breen goes dark and then flashes Green..

CMO_LtCmd_Morgan says:
FCO: Other then your leg have you noticed any other changes?  Differences in your behavior?  Your body workings?

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: I believe the two events to be inextricably tied. At least I'd like to think my alter-self would have some sense

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COMM Breen captain:  Is there a problem?

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn:  I would agree.

FCO_Cmdr_Ved says:
CMO: Dr. I would not care to discuss this on the bridge please.

CEO_LtCmdr_Everitt says:
::looks towards the viewscreen, concluding that it somehow doesn't look good::

Host FM_Little_Goo says:
<Rainier> COMM Sulek: Captain.. your ship is contaminated with a virulent organism.  If you are truly from another dimension... you must go back, or we will be forced to destroy you.
