USS Tal-War - SD 10407.03
Host Gilles says:
Shoot me now and put me out of my misery
Host Gilles says:
Bouncing around from universe to universe, the USS Tal-War has finally found a universe where no one is shooting at them. 
Host Gilles says:
One the one hand, this is good because no one is trying to blow them up. On the other hand, this is bad because each time they were fired upon they jumped universes.

::in the conference room::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::enters the confrence room huridly with 3 PADDs in hand::
CO_Kyrron says:
::looks up as OPS rushes in::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO/FCO/OPS:  Any ideas about what's been happening to us?
XO_Jameson says:
::Pours herself a cup of coffee, having not slept well recently::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::places the PADDs on the table and walks over to the viewscreen::  CO: I think I have it.....
CO_Kyrron says:
::looks at OPS pointedly waiting for him to explain::
FCO_Shania says:
::smells coffee::
XO_Jameson says:
::Takes her seat, and gives DeRidder most of her attention, the rest reserved for the coffee::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::switches on the viewer::  All: I haven't been able to pin point the event or the effected systems, but after reviewing system logs, I have determined that we make a jump when three things happen....
XO_Jameson says:
::Takes notes with the hand that isn't preoccupied with the coffee::
CO_Kyrron says:
::nods and waits for him to continue::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
All: #1: The Warp Drive System is running at evelvated levels to run power to shields and weapons...
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
All: #2: The shields are up....
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
All: #3: and we're being fired on.
XO_Jameson says:
Self: Well, that would account for us jumping when nearly defeated under attack
XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Any way we can simulate those conditions without actually being blown out of space?
CO_Kyrron says:
::sits back and listens::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: I'm still running simulations.  It is still unknown at this point what is causing the event.
XO_Jameson says:
OPS: When we jump, is there any sign that this is occuring, barring when we do the quantum signature scan?
CO_Kyrron says:
::looks over at the FCO::
XO_Jameson says:
XO: Tachyon emissions, anything?
CO_Kyrron says:
::wonders what's happening out there::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: The only thing that I can say with any certainty is there is a power imbalace somewhere.  The combine systems that are active are using way more power than expected.  Perhaps if we were to look for energy spikes in our energizer matrix, we could detect when we are about to jump.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: And Captain...  To answer your question from an hour ago...  It would appear that our warp bubble is still up.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  What resources do we need to solve this puzzle?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Presumably a ship with enough power to drain our shields in a couple of shots that can be under OUR control.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Do any of the shuttles have enough power?
XO_Jameson says:
All: I think that once we find a way back to our dimension, we could stop the jumps by decontaminating the wapr core
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Perhaps one of the runabouts....   But we would have super charge the weapons system and upgrade the phaser banks.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The SO detects a vessel on LRS of unknown configuration.
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Have someone from flight control get to work on it.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Even with all this in mind...  The question remains as to how we would control the jump
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::gets someone from her team to work on a runabout::
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
::Starts to scan the vessel which has just entered the system::
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Perhaps if we study it under controlled conditions we can collect enough data.
XO_Jameson says:
CO: To stop our jumping, we could use the transporters to filter out the foreign substance.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Accept for the fact that this ship has 2 runabouts onboard.  We would be able to complete one test.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  But we need more jump.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  One test?  We'd have nothing left to do it once we figure out how?
XO_Jameson says:
CO: But we also need to be able to stop once we are in the right place.  Otherwise it will still be of no use
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: We'd have one runabout for a test... and one more for the actual jump home.
CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the XO::  XO:  Have Engineering begin working on a way to do it quickly, but don't let them commence until we are ready
XO_Jameson says:
CO: But how will be we be able to pinpoint where we are going?
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
::Scans the vessels weapons configurations while trying to find out more of it's hull composition::
XO_Jameson says:
::Starts to write up a report to send to the Engineering team::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: I would also make sure that we rig the associated runabouts to self destruct once we jump.
CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at OPS::  FCO: Which means it will have to be piloted remotely.
XO_Jameson says:
::Nods in agreement with DeRidder::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The unknown vessel begins a detailed scan of the Tal-War.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: No problem with that, just with loosing two ships
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  We need to figure out how to pinpoint where we wind up before we try it.
XO_Jameson says:
::Rolls her eyes as she notes to herself that she just mentioned that::
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
XO: An unkown vessel has just entered the system, seems to be a scout, minimal weapons... ::Notices the blinky lights of his console:: And they've just scanned us.
CO_Kyrron says:
::gives the XO a cold hard stare::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: The secret in that could be in comparing the varience in the quantum signatures.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Let's get on it then.  With luck, someone will attack us again so we can collect more data.  ::grins::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::gets up to head back to the bridge, grabbing his PADDs after hearing the SOs report::
XO_Jameson says:
::Hears the SO::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: Looks like your wish might be granted	
CO_Kyrron says:
All in conference room:  To the Bridge!
XO_Jameson says:
*SO*:  They are no tactical threat?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::enters the bridge and quicky assumes the OPS station::
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
*XO*: Not at the moment, but they might call in reinforcements.
FCO_Shania says:
::gets up, grabs herself a cup of coffee and walks out to the bridge::
XO_Jameson says:
::Enters the bridge, and takes her seat::
FCO_Shania says:
::sits down at helm::
CO_Kyrron says:
::nods at the SO as she enters the bridge and takes her seat::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The FCO spills coffee on the helm
XO_Jameson says:
CO: Shall we try to contact them?  or run away?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks over at the helm as the coffee drips down on to the floor::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Sit tight.  ::contacts Engineering for an update on repairs::
XO_Jameson says:
::Sends the report to Engineering regarding the jumps::
FCO_Shania says:
::curses loudly in her native tongue::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The unknown vessel hails the Tal-War
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: We're being hailed.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Put them through. Audio only.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::switches on speakers::  CO: On Audio
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War: This is the Scout vessel Guls do you require assistance?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::breaths a sigh of relief::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: The vessel transmitts an audio transmission. On the screen the crew see a snail like creature.
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hcnerf:  We are undertaking repairs and will be on our way shortly.  No assistance is required, but thank you for the offer.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks to the Captain as if to say "Have you lost your mind?"::
CO_Kyrron says:
::is watching the screen and doesn't notice OPS look, lucky for him::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War: CO: Understood... we respect your request... we are explorers and have never see a vessel like yours... where are you from?
CO_Kyrron says:
::sighs::
XO_Jameson says:
~~~OPS: Hey, it's better than them being evil.  And how are they to have any idea about our situation.  It isn't based in this dimension~~~
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
:: A place where we eat things that look like you, hopes they can't read minds::
CO_Kyrron says:
COM: Hcnerf:  Another time line, hence our reluctance to interact, unless you have someone skills in quantum physics on board?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
~~~XO: Perhaps....   I personally would still like any help we can get.  These equations are a bear and the computer doesn't work fast enough when the jumps occur~~~
XO_Jameson says:
~~~OPS: But is it safe to interact.  Can the actions we complete here affect our reality?  Is it even safe to ask for help~~~
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::sets scans of the other vessel to automatic and continues to corrilate the quantum signatures with the power fluxuations::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::looks back at another of his crew:: COM:Tal-War: My science officer has just confirmed that you have a different quantum signature than our own universe. It is extrodinary. When did your species begin multi-universe exploring?
XO_Jameson says:
::Turns and attempts eye contact with the OPS::
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hcnerf:  Never.  This was an accident.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::looks up to the XO::  ~~~XO: Who knows...   There is little known about interdimentional travel.  Since we are in our same TIME, but different universe, I would say that there would be no effect.~~~
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War: But WHAT an accident?! :: jumps up and down in joy:: The wonders you must have seen!
XO_Jameson says:
~~~OPS: Could we speed up the jumping process if we set the sheilds to a low percentage intially, instead of having them damaged and needing to repair them?~~~
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  We only wish to return to where we belong.  Our "species" as you call it has a strict non-interference policy
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
~~~XO: That's a thought....  And we could use that ship...   ~~~  ::jumps up and motions to the XO::  CO: I think we have it Captain....
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Yes?
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: When we originally formed the warp bubble...  Shields were at 10%...  NOT full power...
XO_Jameson says:
::Grins a little at DeRidder's sudden childlike enthusiasm::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War: CO: We will assist if we can. What do you require?
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  And?  ::wishes DeRidder would just get to the point::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: If we reduce the shields to 10% and get the toher vessel to fire on us... We should be able to force a jump to begin...  
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ COM:Tal-War: CO: And can you show us how to reproduce it?  ::smiles::
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
::Begins adding a database entry for the species, including serving suggestions::
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hcnerf:  We're not sure how to reproduce it, but we could use your help with something after all.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: The only thing is that the computer has not returned an answer to how to control where we end up.  The Quantum Signature variance is still being corelated
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  But it might come up with something?
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
ACTION: A short creature walks on the Glus bridge and mops up the floor and leaves.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  I want you to establish friendly relations with these... creatures.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
CO: Might
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  I can't say I understand your plan Mr. DeRidder, or am even sure you have one, but if you do, I'll leave it up to you to orchestrate.
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
::Adds the following "Appear to keep small slaves which clean up after them"::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: You sure we don't want to make them angry enough to shoot us?  i could do that just as easily!  I'll just tell them about the French diet
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::his antenna twitch:: COM:Tal-War: CO: We await your request.
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::returns to the OPS console::
CO_Kyrron says:
::gives the XO a stern look::  XO:  This is very delicate, Jameson.  We need their assistance but don't want to give them too much information.  Figure out what sort of firepower we need and negotiate with them.
CO_Kyrron says:
COM:  Hcnerf:  My first officer will provide you with the details.
XO_Jameson says:
::nods::  CO: I'll work with DeRidder about the firepower? or would you rather i take over with hcnerf?
CO_Kyrron says:
::sits back in her chair all grumpy like::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::trying to hurry the computer along::
Host SCO_Hcnerf says:
@ ::finds their humor bizzare::
CO_Kyrron says:
::watches the FCO glad that at least one of her bridge officers is trustworthy::
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Both.
XO_Jameson says:
::mutters::  Self: Mutlitasking.  Great fun
SO_LtJg_Smith says:
::Goes to the nearest replicator and gets some coffee, although he's tempted to get some french food::
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS/XO:  Keep me updated.  ::gets up::  FCO:  Join me in the ready room.
XO_Jameson says:
COMM:Glus:hcnerf:  We will need your assistance with a little task if you are willing to attend
CO_Kyrron says:
::heads to the RR::
FCO_Shania says:
::gets up and follows CO::
CO_Kyrron says:
::enters the RR and heads to the replicator::  FCO:  I had Engineering program this one to make the best coffee.  Care for a cup?
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Sure ::is sure her coffee is better anyways::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::completing calculations::  XO: Commander... I'm ready...   I think that if we can with the power in the warp engines, we might be able to colapse the warp bubble at a precise moment when our quantum signature returns to normal....  Just keep feeding power to the shield so they stay at 10% while continually being fired on.
CO_Kyrron says:
::replicates one and passes it to her::  FCO:  I just couldn't watch it anymore.  ::sits::
FCO_Shania says:
CO: Well, I wasn't present neither.
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Any word on your fiance's condition?  ::sips her coffee::
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
::notes the computers results::  XO: I have an answer on the quantum signature problem.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: No changes.
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  It must be a worry for you.
FCO_Shania says:
CO: I manage
XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Thank god!  I never thought i'd want to go home so badly!
OPS_Lt_DeRidder says:
XO: We have to have the other ship adjust the quantum signature of their wepons to match that of our universe.
