Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
Synopsis:  The Sharikahr, sent to help assist a mining facility, is currently under attack...

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
<<<<<<<<<<  What if... >>>>>>>>>>

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::checks with the security personnel that had been assigned to their friends in sickbay to make sure that they are well and manageable::

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Permission to go to Main Engineering, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
@::walking towards the mine entrance, surveying the damage and the wounded::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::begins planning to revert the defector dish on a moments notice::

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  Another explosion strikes deep in the mines, a billow of smoke seeps out to cover the surface.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::initiates Red Alert::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::orders the ops duty officer to lock on to Maylen's team and beam them out::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::raises shields and arms weapons::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Granted! Just get those systems back up. ::swings his chair around::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Do you have a source for that blast?

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
@::Her team follows behind the XO::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: No, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: Sharikahr to Maylen. Desmond, we're beaming your team back. We've just come under attack.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: scampers off the bridge to the lift, disappearing behind the closing doors ::

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
@::Catches her footing as the ground trembles beneath her feet.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, the deflector dish is ready when you are. I can have it back to original condition at a moments notice

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: Sir with our shields in place we will not be able to beam them back.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
COMPUTER: Main engineering.

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  The smoke soon covers the Away team.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
@::feels the rumble from the explosion and hears the Captain's message:: *CO* Attack? Aye, sir. ::looks around and shouts:: AT: Away team, prepare for beam up!

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CSO: Get to it. And find our unwelcomed guests.

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::Glances at Blade:: CTO: We can lower the ventral field long enough to beam them up, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
@::Blinks a few times, somewhat shocked::  XO:  Ready when you are, sir.  ::Feels the familiar tingle of the transporter beam::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Yes Sir ::begins returning the deflector to normal::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: exits the lift and moves quickly though the doors and immediately moving to the main display ::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::lowers the ventral shield::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::receives word that the natives are restless but they are behaving themselves::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: Now, Sir.

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  As the AT beams aboard, a ripple seams to pass over the ship.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::Grips his console::

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: sends out  engineering teams to the damaged nacelle and begins to look over damage and repair times ::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels the ripple through his grip on the chair:: CSO: What was that?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::begins widest possible cohesive scan for tetryons in the area::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::immediately raises ventral shields as soon as the AT is aboard::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::materializes in the transporter room and tears his hood off, quickly heading out to the bridge:: OPS: You're with me, on the double Ensign.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Checking now :;scans::

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Quickly removes his helmet, making a mess of his always tidy Vulcan hairstyle::  XO:  Of course, sir.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: feels a sense of vertigo as Main Engineering fluxes ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I still can't pinpoint it captain, still scanning

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  The CMO does not appear aboard the ship.  Nor does most of her staff.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: watches incredulously as the room bends in and out, she taps her combadge :: CO: Sir-r, main engineer-ring seems to be fluxing in and out.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: Sir the CMO didn't arrive on the ship.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::receives a report from a staff member::  CO: Sir... a member of my staff in sickbay report that as time goes on there are fewer and fewer people in there.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::makes it to the bridge with OPS expediently, and steps out, taking his seat next to the Captain:: CO: What happened sir.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: initiates core shielding sequence and begins evacuation protocols ::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks back:: CTO: Are you sure, her team should have been right behind mine?

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::reaches for the comm button on his chair and misses it, blinking rapidly:: XO: Des, I don't feel so good. Take over for me.

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION: Various crew members seem to change on the bridge, yet they are as they should be to most of the staff.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
XO: I've ran several scans she is not on board.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Sidesteps Ensign Mulligan as he slides out of his chair, and sits at his station, immediately polling the computer for system availability::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks over at the Captain, surprised by the request:: CO: Aye, sir... ::shakes his head slightly, feeling strange::

Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::closes his eyes and tries to quiet his mind to figure out what's wrong with himself::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CTO: Ah... yes, yes, ah try and lock on to her signal and beam her up... and her team, yes... ::shakes his head again::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::looks at XO curiously:: XO: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: scurries around getting her staff out of the way of the strange phenomenon, noting that the flux extends to the entire ship ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::sees that her report seems to be lost in the apparent confusion and scans for lifesigns in sick::

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  The captain feels himself grow thin.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Affords a quick glance over his shoulder at the command area, concerned about the Captain...but quickly looks back::  XO:  Commander, readings on most major systems are fluctuating wildly, ship wide.  I cannot determine the cause.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Confirmed. ::dazed:: What is the matter with the captain?

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::tries to lock on to the CMO's signal::

Host CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
ACTION:  Captain Ahkileez vanishes from his chair.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: stands at the main display monitoring the warp core, wondering what effect the flux will have on it ::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks around, blinking:: OPS: Ah... try and determine the cause, Ensign... ah... scan for disturbances or... something ::turns to speak to the Captain::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::eyes widen::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::tries to lock on to the CO's last signal::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Commander! ::startled::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
XO: The Captain is gone!

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::witnesses the Captain disappear:: CSO: Try and find his signal, quickly!

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Focusing intently on his panel::  XO:  Aye sir.  ::Trying to sort out what is good data, and what isn't, and not doing a very good job of it::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
XO: I'm on it already ,Sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::tries to lock onto the captain:: XO: Working on it now

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks up to report her findings to the Captain only to register that he isn't there::  XO: Uh, oh uhm..... sir... the natives in sickbay are no longer there.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::steps out of his ready room and crosses to his chair:: XO: Desmond, do you have a report for me?

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Turns in his chair again at all the commotion, and looks pointedly at Maylen upon the arrival of this unknown Captain::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::sees a Captain and wonders who let this guy on the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CSO: The shields, they're still up, aren't... ::interrupted by the stranger in the Starfleet uniform:: CO: What... who... who are you?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Yeah... they are.....::Looks at the CO::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
<del last>

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::removes his tricorder and scans the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::blinks... something is different... something... doesn't *sound* right... too quiet...::

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  As another wave settles across the ship, the fluctuation settles.  It is much smaller, less powerful.  A version of the earlier ships of the federations early years.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::halts as he lowers himself to the chair:: XO: What do you mean? ::looks around at the ripple and then back at Des:: Do you have a report or not?

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::gets up:: CSO: Sound intruder alert, get security up here...

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: taps her combadge: Bridge: Engineer-ring to br-ridge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::sounds intruder alert::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
CO: Oh there you are... there is.... or was ::confused as it feels like there is a problem:: a problem in sickbay

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::frowns:: CSO: Belay that, Commander. XO: Desmond, what are you doing?

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: waits for an answer from the bridge ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: I'll need to know who the hell you are before you start ordering me around! ::indignant, sounds the intruder alert again::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Who are you... ::looks around:: Does no one see this...

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: I see it Commander

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
XO: What are you talking about...  see what?

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: bounces nervously up and down noting the ships engines have also be made smaller and less powerful ::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks at Woody like he is off his rocker::  CO: Why is everything so crazy now.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::Glances at the Counselor, then back at Desmond and Woody, keeping his voice mellow:: XO: My name is Jason Duke, we've served on this ship together for three years... I'm godfather to your son.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks around and the ship has changed:: CO: Alright... things are just... a little different for me... I'm not feeling that well... what ship is this, and our compliment...

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::glances again at Cephas:: CNS: Would you deal with Chaser please? Thank you. ::Turns his attention back to Des::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Do you feel a bit odd? There was something strange I felt....like the captain wasn't the captain....CO: Sorry Sir. I'm not sure what brought that on

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::glances around the bridge:: CO: Vulcans... of course ::puts the mental quirk together:: Where are the Vulcans?

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::takes a look around the bridge, having difficulty analyzing the situation...too many possibilities::

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
:nods to Woody as she felt it too.::  *CEO*: This is Cephas, what can I do for you?

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
CSO: It's okay... ::quietly, then looks back at Des:: XO: This is the Overture... ::looks around at the Miranda Class:: We carry a hundred officers and crew, more if we're lucky. But the only Vulcans aboard are Mr. Vaalnec behind you

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
*CNS*: Ma'am, our engine have become smaller-r and our-r output is less than fifty percent normal.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::has a daydream of a ship in the future but shrugs it off::

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Checks the ships' registry, and their current coordinates...as well as polling the nearest Federation beacon for time and Stardate::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: But that's not right... this is the Sharikahr, with a substantial Vulcan crew...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::follows the situation on the bridge as well as what is happening with the CEO::  *CEO*: What has caused it?

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: *Several* hundred in fact...

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::Frowns:: XO: The ShirKahr? The ShirKahr's been assigned to the Ninth Fleet for years, Commander.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
*CNS*: Ma'am as near-r as I can figure some kind of quantum flux.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
*CEO*: Do you have any recommendations on how to fix it? Or what should be done about it?

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::shakes his head:: No, no... Shar-I-Kahr, Norway Class... this ship...

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
*CNS*: Ma'am it seems the whole ship is somehow smaller

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::raises his eyebrow:: XO: I've never heard of a Norway Class. ::takes a step closer:: Maybe you should take a break... go down to Sickbay and get something and talk to Keely tomorrow

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Captain, if I may also be relieved...I would like to accompany Commander Maylen to Sickbay.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: runs the warp signature through the ship's computer trying to verify class ::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::backs up in conjunction with the step forward:: CO: Ah... I don't think so... whoever you are... I don't know you, and until I get to the bottom of this I'm not going anywhere.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
*CEO*:  So do you have any recommendations?

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The computer pulls up the ships blueprints for the CEO.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
*CNS*: Ma'am the ship seems familiar-r yet I am not sure, br-ringing up a schematic now.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
OPS: I need you to finish the cargo processing on the ore were delivering to the Starbase 20 project, Ensign. Finish that first.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::approaches the XO::  XO: Calm down commander, let go talk about this shall we?

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::steps closer still to Desmond, lowering his voice yet more:: XO: Please, just take a break Des. We've been on duty a while now. Get some rest. Keely can go with you.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Admittedly, there is something far too amiss to do as you request.  ::stands::  Illogical as it may be to disobey orders, I must agree with Commander Maylen.  This is not my ship.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::straightens, looking at the two officers:: OPS/XO: I don't know what is wrong with the two of you, but we need to get this settled. I want you both to report to Sickbay for evaluation.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: feels like something isn't right ::

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
::looks at the XO concerned::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks over to the OPS, then back to the CO:: CO: I'm sorry, sir... you're not the Captain of the ship that I know... most everyone is right... just... this is too wrong...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
XO: Please sir.  Let's try to go figure out what is going on here.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  I do not believe a medical investigation will be necessary.  On the contrary, it will require the resources of the entire vessel to investigate the situation.  Commander Maylen and I both serve on the U.S.S. Sharikahr.  If you will allow us time to explain the situation, Captain...

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::places a halting hand on Keely's shoulder:: OPS: Go ahead...

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::nods and listens to OPS::

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
::looks to the OPS, gathers himself:: CO: Yes... it seems as if the ship has passed through some sort of... causality disturbance, and Ensign Stolvok and I seem to be the only ones not effected.

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::nods toward the XO::  CO:  To my last recollection, An Away Team consisting of Commander Maylen, myself and two others were beamed from the surface of a planet.  Upon our return, some sort of wave rippled upon our ship, and when things had settled, we found ourselves here.  It could have been a disturbance on a quantum level.

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: wonders what that strange energy field was, and begins to review scans ::

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Most of the crew remains the same, but you are not our Captain, and the Chief Medical and Flight Control officers appear to be unaccounted for.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Also... the compliment of the crew was, as I said... primarily Vulcan.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::softly::  CO: Things did seems.. wrong earlier in sickbay.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::tries not to look unconvinced:: OPS/XO: So I didn't serve with you on this ship for the last three years? We didn't get through that scrape on Silgis together? And why in the world would we have a crew packed with Vulcans? Most of them won't look up at the stars much less travel in them.

Host Biishe says:
ACTION:  The quiet chime of the hour announces the change of shift.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: I'm sorry... sir, I don't know you. Until  you walked onto the bridge, I hadn't seen you before in my life.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::moves back to the CSO un-noticed::  CSO: What is going on here? ::isn't looking at him as she keeps an eye on the group below::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::distracted by the discussion underway on the bridge:: CNS: I'm not sure. I believe that our executive officer has lost his memory, or had it tampered with in some way

CEO_Lt_Chaser says:
:: tries to narrow the beam and isolate the power signature of the energy ::

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Those things may very well have happened, sir.  But if it was indeed a fluctuation on a quantum level, those experiences were met with different... versions, of ::motions first to Maylen, then himself:: ourselves entirely.

XO_Cmdr_Maylen says:
CO: Sir, right now I just want to find out what happened, where we are... and how to get back.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::looks at him::  CSO: You mean it doesn't seem like... ::turns back to face the crew:: something is wrong here?

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
XO: I've never heard of something like that happening. ::Frowns:: It sounds like something out of a bad science fiction show

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: There is something...not sure what. Whatever it is, it's causing some of the crew to lose it.

CTO_LTJG_Blade says:
CO: Sir we are being hailed they are saying if we have the ore and what our ETA was.

CNS_LtCmdr_Cephas says:
::nods with his assessment of the situation::

OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Perhaps.  But I know of several recorded instances of this phenomenon similar to this situation.  I realize it is a great deal to ask...but if you would allow us the benefit of the doubt, and the resources of this ship to investigate, we can arrive at a logical conclusion.

Host CO_Capt_Duke says:
::still looks unconvinced, but nods:: OPS/XO: All right, lets see what you can dig up.
