USS Scorpius NCC 50666

"Bent Over Backwards," Episode III:  I'm all shook up...

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

The USS Scorpius had arrived at her destination in the Badlands area of the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone.

Moments after arriving, she began to have minor malfunctions that effected equipment and systems.

They were joined by the Cardassian Galor-class warship Trovestor, under the command of Gul Matraan.

The Gul relayed that they were having similar problems and has relayed their systems data to the Scorpius to attempt to work on a solution together before attempting to locate the Maquis weapons depot.

Now, as the system and structural problems begin to worsen, people are feeling strange, unsettled, with feelings of foreboding, and on Trovestor as well.  

An Ambassador-class vessel that read USS Scorpius on transponder frequencies appeared briefly, and detonated in a brilliant warp core breach.

Science, Operations, and Tactical have determined that a patch of ions the ship went through about 10 minutes ago may have been related...

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: uhm captain.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: I think we need to leave this area of space we are in. Something just isn’t right here.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I see, lieutenant.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Gets a strong sense of deja vu...and thinks to self ::   Self:  We HAVE been here before!

OPS: What happened here?

CEO_S`Tran says:
*CO*: Aye sir... ::turns to a chief:: CPO_Nor'dar: You heard the CO, lets get the warp core offline!!! ::getting irritated at his senior officers::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Could this be some kind of temporal or spatial anomaly?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Whatever is happening to the crew, is happening to the ship.  I'm not really sure what's happening

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I don't believe it's temporal.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: I was just thinking the same thing captain.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Trovestor's inertial dampers go offline and the ship begins to list, and the ship begins to twist in on itself very slowly, causing multiple hull breaches

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  But it may be spatial ... some kind of displacement ...

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CNS: It could be dimensional.

CEO_S`Tran says:
*CO*: Warp core is going offline, sir...

CIV_Horn says:
CO: It might be localized to this particular area of space.

OPS-Anari says:
XO/CO:  The Trovestor's inertial dampers are off-line...there are multiple hull breaches occurring...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees what is happening to the Cardassian ship:: OPS:  Beam survivors to the Scorpius immediately!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Lock onto the Trovestor crew if you can and beam them aboard!

TO_Lane says:
::looks at the sensors:: CO: The Trovestor is beginning to list

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: you mean a rip in the space-time continuum?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Punches buttons trying to lock on to the Trovestor's crew... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I mean, how else could we have witnessed our own destruction.

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: good point.  Let me look something up.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  A bridge between universes?

@COMM:  Scorpius:  A mere ion surge, Captain?  You seem...flighty if that stops you.  Nevertheless, I saw what you saw on sensors, and it is the only reason I believe you.

Pel-Tor says:
~~~OPS: ok, please tell my father to be careful.~~~

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Trovestor comes to all-stop 3 light years astern of the Scorpius

OPS-Anari says:
:: Smiles as she hears the child.  ::   ~~~ Pel Tor:  I will contact you if I need your assistance.  Return to your quarters now, and stay calm ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Position of the Trovestor?

CIV_Horn says:
CO: If you were about to die and knew you had it to do all over again, what would you do?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sends a message to the CTO advising of his son's request to be careful... ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Full sensor scans, Ensign.

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: may I make a suggestion.. 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: I would have sent something to tell my next self what not to do.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Checks systems around the ship... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Yes, counselor?

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: 3 light years astern of our position, Sir.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::receives the OPS message, smiles and nods to her::

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: order all non-essential personnel to escape pods. But don’t launch.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Matraan: Hold your position there until further notice.  Scorpius out.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Scan the area for any type of probes or buoys.

Pel-Tor says:
~~~OPS: Ok, thank you.  You be careful.~~~

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Scanning....

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CIV: AQilla, Russ, what do you think of McDonald's suggestion?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Engineering.  Ensign, keep a close eye on all ships systems.  Keep on top of anything that may go awry.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: I would only have non-essential personnel at the pods.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ Pel Tor:  I have sent a message to your father's console.  He has received it.  Be good now, and stay calm. I will be careful this time as well, thank you, Pel Tor. ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::hears the XO:: *XO*: Aye ma'am, my teams will keep on top of things..

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I would consider it prudent to be prepared for the possibility of evacuation.  Might not be a bad idea to get non-essential personnel ready.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Anything yet?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  Can  you see to that, Counselor?

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: No buoys, Sir.  But I am detecting a part of space that looks.....different.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees all systems are functioning at peak efficiency ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CIV: OK.  *All Hands*: This is the CO.  All beta and gamma shift crew and all non-essential personnel report to the nearest escape pod and wait for possible launch.

TO_Lane says:
::keeps looking at the sensor readings and sits back:: All: Hey, look at this... this spot here reads different.  The ions seem to be spinning in all different directions...  ::squints:: at a quantum level?  What would cause that?

OPS-Anari says:
CO/XO:  All systems are functioning at peak efficiency.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Different?  In what way, Lt?

CNS_McDonald says:
CO/XO: I'll head over and monitor the evac prep.. 

OPS-Anari says:
CO/XO:  I do not detect any problems, but I do suggest that we DO NOT go in there.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I concur.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: It’s hard to explain, but it doesn’t look like "normal" space.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: turns around :: what about sending a probe ahead.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: That's why I'm not budging from this spot.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: Lets launch a probe in there and see what it sends back.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets up and heads for tactical:: CTO:  Scan for temporal or spatial anomalies.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: We need readings from the inside.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am, scanning.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Get a probe in there.

OPS-Anari says:
XO:  You won't find any anomalies, if I remember correctly...

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Just the ion spike

TO_Lane says:
::slaps her hands down on her console:: Self: Fine, they don't want to listen... then I won't stay.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Anari is right, the scans come back normal, bit just looks....different, feels different.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO/CIV: A dimensional portal?

CNS_McDonald says:
ALL: what about some sort of distortion field.. 

CIV_Horn says:
CO: Not enough info to determine yet.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::tires of reports, so heads out into ME to have a look at the current status of the ship::

OPS-Anari says:
All: What about a matter, anti-matter universe?

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Status on the probe?

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Wait, I found an area that has a different subspace reading.  As the TO has already said, the ions in there are all spinning in a different way, on a quantum level.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Almost as if that area is a different universe?

TO_Lane says:
CTO/XO: That's what I'm trying to tell you.  That bit of space.  The ions are different at the quantum level.... We should send a probe into it to see more, but it looks like it could be a fracture of some sort.  Possibly dimensional.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  A dimensional shift?  Some sort of "gateway" between dimensions?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Get that done.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Agreed.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/XO: If  I had to guess, I would have to agree with the TO, possible dimensional gateway.

CNS_McDonald says:
ALL: when we find out what it is there, maybe a warp bubble would seal it.

TO_Lane says:
::nods:: CO: Sure,..  ::mumbles:: it's about time...  

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Is that probe ready to launch?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Can you try to find a way around that gateway, possibly find out its dimensions?

TO_Lane says:
::starts programming a probe and looks up:: CO: probe ready

TO_Lane says:
::rolls her eyes:: CO: I can try, no promises though.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: launching now, Sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Get reading.  Find out if there's been any other instances of this sort of phenomena and how they sealed a dimensional rift ... if that is what we're dealing with here.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The probe enters the dimensional fracture...

CIV_Horn says:
All: Lets see what this will tell us now.

TO_Lane says:
::begins trying to plot a course around the fracture and looks at the data coming in from the probe::

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: I've read about this. A warp bubble should seal it but we need all the other Scorpius' to do the same.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Ensures power to the science console... ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO/TO: If either of you sees some kind of pod or probe, anything that is like a "black box," inform me immediately.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::nods to his staff as they bustle about their business::

TO_Lane says:
XO: why not  ::pulls up information on possible incidences of other dimensional fractures::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS:  That might work if we had another Scorpius there ...

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
XO: that’s true.  I have no clue of only one of us could close the fracture.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I don't suppose you were reading Capt. Picard's psych file, were you?

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: Yes as a matter of fact I was.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::wonders what that has got to do with this::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Sorry, counselor, that won't work.

TO_Lane says:
::frowns as she looks at the data coming in:: CTO: Look at this... this is weird.

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: it was standard reading for my psychology degree.

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::goes over to where the TO is working::

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: What have you found?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::hears TO:: TO: What is it, ensign?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the TO::

TO_Lane says:
CTO: The probe shows a simple surge in ions that went away quickly.  Then look here, there are 7 more sets of data, from different probes.  All of them slightly out of synch in time and space.

CEO_S`Tran says:
::taps into the nearest unused console, and starts looking at the ships schematics... if he’s gonna keep her running, then he'd best know how she runs::

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Can you tell if they are from the same probe, or are they all different?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  7 probes?  All from the Scorpius?

TO_Lane says:
ALL:  All the probes show to be having minor malfunctions and they're all sending back data... almost as if looking at 7 views of something like looking through a prism.

TO_Lane says:
XO:  I'll try to identify that for certain, but I believe so.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO/TO: Can either of you fashion something that can bring all seven of those probes back here?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The lead probe fails and begins to drift off original course...

OPS-Anari says:
:: Readies a tractor beam ::

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Look, one of the probes seems to have malfunctioned, it’s drifting away.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Can be beam the probes directly on-board?

OPS-Anari says:
XO: I can try, ma'am...

TO_Lane says:
CTO: Look at this, the probes are only sending a certain subset of quantum data... when you add it up, it equals that of the original probe.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO/TO: So is this Dimensional or temporal?

CEO_S`Tran says:
::continues studying up on the ships schematics::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The probes fail one by one over the next several minutes and cease to function...

OPS-Anari says:
:: Activates the tractor beam ::

CTO_T`LOK_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Is there any way to get that first probe, or is it out of range?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Bring them aboard.  Then we can try to get any data from them we can once they're aboard.

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Aye ma'am...

CIV_Horn says:
XO: I wouldn’t do that.

TO_Lane says:
XO: Yes, they're all from the Scorpius... oh, and in regards to your other question, there is no information in the LCARS to indicate that this has ever happened before.
