Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
An alien vessel emerged from a vortex ion storm that has been herretofore unrecorded.

Host Gerry says:
Due to the proximity of the RNZ, the Scorpius is being MOnitored and has been offered assistance oif necessary by a Romulan vessel nearby.

Host Gerry says:
the aliens have beun to worship the crew of the Scorpius, chanting something very unusual:

Host Gerry says:
"Holy Scorpius, Heavenly Mother, crewed by the angels, commanded by God!"

CEO_Regnum says:

XO: They think I'm their Almighty.

CIV_Serok says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

TO_Heath says:

TO_Heath says:

SO_S`nsr says:
::frowns:: TO: I believe their engines are responsible for the dimensional shift... don't ask me to reproduce them... but this is what I'd call a scientific guess

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I agree.  We must make them realize we are living beings ...

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I'm trying.

CIV_Serok says:
CNS/CO:  Agreed, you should not let them believe that  you are a diety.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Wants to cry, but is determined not to...and to get unstuck without calling someone for help ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, convincing them that you arent a God will not be easy.  If they truly believe you are a God, then you will be invincible.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
SO: It's not up to me.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  No!  What have we done to incur the wrath of the VanSickle, oh majestic one?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Then we must make them see that the Captain is not invincible ...

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rel: There is no wrath, because... I am not a god.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: Are you saying that we must shoot him?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I understand that, but to dump it in their laps like this could be detrimental to them.

SO_S`nsr says:
::nods:: TO: Sounds about right.

SO_S`nsr says:
XO: Does that mean we kill the Captain Ma'am?

FCO_Bodine says:
CO: No offense Captain but perhaps it is best that they see you, all of us bleed just like they do. We could share some medical records with them perhaps have some show and tell with them? :: looks to the CMO ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO/CNS: I like that idea.  Anybody got a phaser?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: I never said to shoot anyone!

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Mute the channel.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  No ... but we must make them see that we are mortal, like them

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Knife then? ::grins::

Host K`rel says:
@::sits in a stunned silence::  COM: Scorpius: This...cannot be!

OPS-Watson says:
<Powers> :: Mutes the channel ::

Host K`rel says:
@::turns to his crew and starts to ask for verification of their location::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, I honestly can't condone doing this to these people.  This could cause irreversible harm to them, and could cause them to attack us.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Am I hearing some ideas as to how to show my mortality?

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: You must meet with him personally.

TO_Heath says:
::goes back studying the sensors:: XO: No disrespect intended, but how do we do that, kill someone?

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Wait just a minute!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Maybe ..... CMO: Doctor, if we demonstrate that I am mortal ... you could revive me, Right?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, you haven't the slightest idea WHY they call you a God.  I strongly suggest you slow down, get information first, THEN proceed accordingly.

SO_S`nsr says:
::shrugs:: TO: And we bring him back to life and convince them someone else is God?  ::sighs::

FCO_Bodine says:
CO: I just gave one, let's invite them over for dinner.

CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: That's the best idea someone's said so far.  All: Anyone object to bringing High Priest K'Rel aboard?

Host K`rel says:
@::nods as their coordinates and location are confirmed, then turns to the screen and begins to speak soundlessly::

TO_Heath says:
SO: That would just make it worse.  If it could actually get any worse.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Keeps trying to maneuver the chair from between these pieces...and is getting really angery that nothing is working ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I believe I suggested that earlier, Sir.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Begins to feel unheard, and frustrated::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: YES!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I wasn't suggesting killing anyone ... but if we can show them we can be hurt, just like anyone else ...

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Wonders if the CO is even listening to him::

Host K`rel says:
@::continues to speak to the muted channel::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I whole-heartedly object until we get a clear scan that proves they aren't dangerous to us.  We don't know what hazards their biological make-up is.

SO_S`nsr says:
::shivers:: CO: I recommend you and a security team visit them Sir.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Look, if I didn't answer you guys, don't take that personally.  Because I'm really not god, I can't do everything.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Puts the hover chair into high gear and is jerked sideways suddenly as the table that was part of her confinement gets knocked over ::

TO_Heath says:
CO/XO: Why don't you just ask them why they are worshiping the Scorpius and calling you God?

FCO_Bodine says:
:: looks at the screen :: XO: That mans lips are still moving ...

SO_S`nsr says:
::points to the viewscreen:: CO: Captain... I think they want your attention.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO/CO: Precautions can be taken to minimize any contagions.  I suggest invinting one, two at the most, over here.

CIV_Serok says:
TO:  That is a good question Mister Heath.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: You all do what you want.  But if you die from some sort of exposure don't come crying to me.

CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: I was thinking of just that.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Watches as her pictures of her family fall to the floor. The glass holding the pictures shatter ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Permission to leave the bridge Captain? ::crosses her arms::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I suggest we invite them to dinner ... ::signals to the viewscreen::

TO_Heath says:
CIV: Thank you, Ma'am.  ::smiles as memories of Diablo come to mind::

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Doctor, I still might need you to scan them.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Doctor...dear, its part of our job to take risks.  But, that is why I said one or two only, and only in confined areas.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Is really trying not to cry now as her quarters are beginning to frustrate her ::   Self: I can't do anything for myself...I can't get out from this damn chair!   :: Slams her fists into the armrests again as she holds back her tears ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: Don't call me dear on duty, Lieutenant Commander.  CO: Sir, we need to scan them over their first BEFORE they have a chance of contaminating the entire ship.  Permission to leave the bridge Sir.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I suggest inviting them over, and have them beamed directly to the observation lounge.  I will have a level 4 force field in place around the room in case there is a problem.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: We're going to extend High Priest K'Rel and whoever he designates as their historian to meet with the senior staff.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  ...for your holy divinity to be questioned is an offence punishable by extreme isolation and ostracisim, O blessed one.

SO_S`nsr says:
::wonders if the Captain will invite them over.. . if he does I'd horse whip him if I had a horse::

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rel: High Priest K'Rel, my crew and I are intrigued by your assertions to our divinity.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  May I ask a question, Captain?

TO_Heath says:
::shakes her head, this is crazy::  Self: I still would like to know why they think that before letting them over here.  It might just make it that much worse.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Did you not hear what he just said?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers:: SO: Does that mean we can't ask them questions or they can't ask the Captain any?

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: What?

CIV_Serok says:
TO:  I believe our best course is to ask them why they believe that this ship and crew have divine origins.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: K'Rel:  I am curious ... why do you believe that we are divine?

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  I...am...amazed at your humility, gracious one.  We are new here...explorers of a fashion.  Your way of the Scorpius has taught us much.

TO_Heath says:
CIV: So do I, but it isn't our...::hears the XO:: looks like someone else wonders the same thing.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Are you even listening?

Host K`rel says:
@COM: XO: It is what we were taught for thousands of years, Oh blessed archangel AQilla.

FCO_Bodine says:
:: wonders if he should dare talk ::

SO_S`nsr says:
::attempts to do a scan of the members of ship::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Goes slowly around her quarters still trying to get a feel of the hover chair ::

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Counselor, in order to get to the bottom of this, we must figure out who and what these people are and why they figure us gods and angels.  If that means inviting them over here, then so be it.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, give the word, and I will have any and all security precautions taken care of.

CEO_Regnum says:
Self: A Thousand years eh, guess we get to have fun with time travel

CIV_Serok says:
:: goes and stands behind the Captain and whispers :: CO:  Sir, I have done an extensive search of the data base and no reference can be found of these people.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: That is not what I was referring to!

OPS-Watson says:
<Powers>:: Looks at his console and does a few adjustments ::

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Then what?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: K'Rel: What is it about the Scorpius that has become holy to your people?

CNS_M`Ton says:
CTO: Would you please mute the channel?

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: No reference?

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Mr. Powers is handling the comm.

OPS-Watson says:
<Powers> :: Is completely bored with the conversation and only cares about when he gets relieved so he can visit with Nadia to see how she is coming along ::

CIV_Serok says:
CO: None Captain.  I suggest we find out exactally when and where that they first began their worship of this ship and crew so that we have a frame of reference.

TO_Heath says:
::whispers:: CIV: I'd like to see a copy of that history.  Over a thousand years?  This ship wasn't even dreamed of a thousand years ago.  Unless time passes at a different speed in their dimension.

FCO_Bodine says:
COM: K`Rel: Being explorers suggests that if anything you believe there are things in your world you do know about and want to learn. We can help you expand your horizon if you agree to meet with us. The choice has to be yours to make however.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: XO:  The Holy vessel, the bringer of Laws came from the Holy Scorpius, the heavenly mother, by order of the Divine one.  This is what we have known all our lives, Blessed Angel.

CIV_Serok says:
:: discretly looks at the to and nods :: TO:  I would as well.

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: There is a possibility they could be from 1,000 years in the future.

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods :: CO: Aye Captain, they could be, which means they are time travelers or it could mean that at some point, we traveled back in time and corrupted their time line.

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Can you quantum date that vessel?

TO_Heath says:
::thinks, 'holy vessel':: CIV: Do you think there would be a way to break into their computers to see if we could find that information?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Why not just ask the CO to order them to give us all their computer information?  They do, after all, believe him to be their God.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Why not just ask them for the information ...

CEO_Regnum says:
::overhears the TO:: TO: Why not just ask them?

Host K`rel says:
ACTION:  All Scorpius attempts to mute the comm channel fail

FCO_Bodine says:
CTO: I agree with you we could just tell them that we are pleased with thier choice to travel and that we want to see what they have collected during thier exporations

SO_S`nsr says:
CO: About 5 years give or take Sir.

CIV_Serok says:
TO: The possibility exists, but, I do not know if the technology is compatible.  But, there is a possibility.

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Whispers:: CO: Captain did you catch the punishment comment?

SO_S`nsr says:
CO: But they are NOT from here Sir... that quantum signature is for sure.

TO_Heath says:
::shrugs:: CO: Captain, perhaps you could ask them for access to the information in their computer systems, we could search for the information about the Scorpius and this 'holy vessel'.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: I'll ask them.  COMM: K'Rel: High Priest K'Rel, could you send a complete history of your people, cross-referenced with mentions of my ship, over to this vessel's computers?

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I think I heard that.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Do you understand what he said?

CIV_Serok says:
CO: I must concur with Mister Heath.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: It seems they think my word is law.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Not that.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  You...require our chronologies?  I will send you the data at once, oh Most High!  ::turns to an officer to make it happen::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Anybody who questions your deity is to be punished.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: So that means the crew must walk on eggshells?

TO_Heath says:
::watches the computers to see if the information comes in::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, I recommend showing grace with these people.  They are handing you their data base, show them you are pleased, bless them if you need to, but keep them happy.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: You have already questioned your deity.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CNS: Yes, but would they punish the one they perceive as a God?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: They could simply view that as a test of their faith, Counselor.

CNS_M`Ton says:
XO: It is possible.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Cmdr. Horn's right.  The only one who can denounce me is me.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius:  CO:  Almighty, we do desire to meet with you very much.  Your claims against your own divinity puzzle us.  We so want to learn more.

FCO_Bodine says:
:: looks over at Powers :: Powers: Is it coming in yet?

CEO_Regnum says:
Anybody: I'd sure like to get a look at their engines and whatever they used to generate that transdimensional vortex

OPS-Watson says:
<Powers> :: Looks at his console ::

CO_VanSickle says:
COM: K'Rel: Until you and your people started worshiping me, I thought myself as a simple starship captain.  I'm just wondering how I got to be exhalted in your eyes, and how Cmdr. Horn became Archangel AQilla, and so on.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That would be the logical conclusion Captain.

TO_Heath says:
::chuckles quietly and keeps her eyes on the console::

OPS-Watson says:
FCO: Information is being received

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::thinks that the CO is going about this all the wrong way::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the CEO:  CEO:  I wouldn't mind taking a look either ...

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrows ::

OPS-Watson says:
<powers>:: Sends the information to the CSO's station ::

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  ::puzzled::  Holiest, we have always assumed the fact of these things.  These are new and disturbing thoughts you evoke.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, may I have a word with you, in private?

CEO_Regnum says:
XO: It might help us find out more about why they claim to have known us more then 1000 years

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: You must proceed with great caution.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Certainly.  CO:  Captain may I use the ready room for a minute?

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Of course.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Thank you, Sir.  ::goes to the ready room::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  After you, Commander.  ::heads for the ready room::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::waits till the XO is in the room, and the doors close::

CIV_Serok says:
CEO:  They did not say one thousand years, they said thousands, plural, of years.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes a seat and motions for the CTO to sit:: CTO:  What is it, T'Lok?

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: We assumed that the Holy Vessel, the Bringer of Laws, sent by your Command, was your will and engineered by your Angels.  Many Millenia ago, your command brought order to our war-torn and decimated world.  We have lived and died by the word of the Holy Scorpius since that time.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Commander, since the Captain doesn't seem to hear me, I will try talking to you.  I honestly believe that he is going about this all the wrong way.  These people believe him to be a God, THEIR God.  And you his right hand.  

CO_VanSickle says:
::intrigued:: COMM: K'Rel: So this ship brought peace to your planet, maybe helped broker a peace treaty?

FCO_Bodine says:
CO: Perhaps I should assist the Science staff in pouring over this data they have sent us sir?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I know ... what do you suggest?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: For him to just blatantly denounce himself as that God could cause them irreversible damage, and put us all at risk.

CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Agreed.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: Let me meet with their Priest.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That is certainly possible.  But we cannot have intelligent beings believing we are gods, T'Lok ...

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  Actually, we believe now that it was an automated messenger, sent to spare the Angels in your service of further work.  We realize that running the universe in physical form must keep you quite busy.

CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: I would like to meet with them too, but Dr. Garta-Nmbarri isn't for that yet.

TO_Heath says:
::whispers:: CIV: What kind of ship would the 'Holy Scorpius' send?  This is odd.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: My original suggest still seems the best, in my opinion.  We need to meet with them, face to face.  Learn why they think the way they do, and teach them gradually the truth.

FCO_Bodine says:
:: nods :: SO: What does the chronological data look like so far? :: moves over next to the SO to examine it with his own eyes ::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: I will go to their ship. But I highly suggest that I be allowed to meet with them first.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO/CTO*: Captain to Horn and Garta-Nmbarri...

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius:  It was damaged, we fear, and perhaps some of its message was lost.  But our quantum physics guild has verified that this is the place and ship it came from.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: We could cause their civilization devistating harm if they learn the truth too fast, and unprepared.

CIV_Serok says:
TO: I believe that is may have been a bouy that they are speaking of.  A log bouy.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Yes, Sir?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Do you remember reading a mission from the USS Enterprise ... where a race of beings believed that Captain Picard was god?

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO/CTO*: Counselor M'Ton wants to meet with K'Rel before the high priest meets with the rest of us.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Captain, that might not be a bad thing ... his insights could be useful

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Yes, I believe so.  Wasn't that where the observers were found out before the time was right?

TO_Heath says:
CIV: Place and ship it came from?  Perhaps it was a log buoy, but would something like a log buoy be mistaken for a ship?

SO_S`nsr says:
::lost in thought pouring through the information::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Agreed.  *CTO*: You think we should send him with some security?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Yes.  He had to prove to them he was no god.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Absolutely, Sir.  

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius: CO:  ::smacks own forehead::  Oh, forgive me!  You must have MANY messengers like this to give order to your peoples across creation!  Would you like me to give a visual record of it?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Security is a wise precaution ... but they must be subtle ...

CIV_Serok says:
TO:  I am uncertain as to that Mister Heath.  It is one explanation.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO/CTO*: Two security agents be good?

FCO_Bodine says:
:: tries to search the logs for identifiable signatures or ownership identification that might have been preserved deep into the binary code somewhere :: Self: Where are Cap and Caq right now maybe they could help disassemble these old chronicles? 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* That would be sufficient, Sir.

TO_Heath says:
::hears what was just said and looks at the screen, curiosity peeked::

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: K'Rel: You may play it.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Agreed.  Have Mr Heath allocate two security personnel to accompany the CNS.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius:  CO: As you command, Mighty one!  ::claps hands::

CNS_M`Ton says:
CO: I will be in the transporter room.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets tired of standing and doing nothing::  CO:  Sir, I am really of no use here.  Permission to leave the bridge.

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.  TO: Assign two security agents to accompany Counselor M'Ton.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: But, those were people with low technological ideals.  This could be worse, since they appear to have space, and even time worthy ships.

CEO_Regnum says:
::a few stations away at the Engineering console:: FCO: They are working on some damaged circuitry on deck 6

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Agreed, but accompany M'Ton.

CNS_M`Ton says:
::Moves to the TL::

CEO_Regnum says:
FCO: What you got there anyway roomie

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Agreed.  We don't have the full story of how this happened.  I believe they would be advanced enough to understand the truth, T'Lok.

TO_Heath says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir?  Are we sure that is safe?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: But, in case they aren’t, or simply aren’t prepared for the truth, what if their weapon systems are as advanced as their ships are?

Host K`rel says:
ACTION: The viewscreen shimmers and a forgotten shuttlecraft appears, damaged from a bad atmospheric entry and a crash landing in a swamp...bearing the markings of the USS Scorpius...

CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: You wanted to get a reading on them.  Why not up close and personal?

TO_Heath says:
::assigns a security team to escort the Counselor::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Let's find out.  ::points to the door:: Shall we see what's going on, Commander.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::shakes her head:: CO: Aye Sir. ::tucks her kit under her arm and heads to the turbolift::

CO_VanSickle says:
::sees the shuttlecraft:: COMM: K'Rel: That is a shuttlecraft, a personnel mover.  TO/SO: See what shuttle that is.

FCO_Bodine says:
CMO: Commander ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: After you, Ma'am.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves out the door to the bridge and looks at the viewscreen::

CIV_Serok says:
Self:  Fascinating.

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: What do you think, captain?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows the XO out, and takes his seat again::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::sees the shuttle:: CO:  Captain, is that what I think it is ...

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: It is.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  It appears to be the shuttle that was used to escape the alternate dimension.

Host K`rel says:
@COM: Scorpius:  We had guessed that as its purpose...we have debated for centuries as to why you would choose to need it.

FCO_Bodine says:
CMO: A suggestion sir, if we have them over for a meeting might you be able to compile biological evidence of who we are so that no one has to drawn any blood? Maybe something simple sir.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  When we were faced with the D'Vor.

CNS_M`Ton says:
CMO: You seem concerned Doctor.

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: You mean the one from when we did that unstable warp bubble controlled experiment?

SO_S`nsr says:
::shivers when he hears the word D'Vor::

FCO_Bodine says:
CEO: I don't know yet sir.

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods :: CO: Yes Captain, it would appear so.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I do believe that I mentioned something about polluting that universe while we were there, if I am correct.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CNS: We have no absolute guarantee they are safe and I don't trust a certain person's decisions.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Oh my .... I wonder how far it traveled before it crashed ... and it's crashing and their examination of it led to all this ...

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla, it seems that shuttle was thrown back a few thousand years when we were trying to get back to our time through that wormhole.

FCO_Bodine says:
CEO: The data is old and passed down bit I was hoping the code might reveal and origin.
