Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits in his Ready Room looking of the mission profile, reading up on the Calligars, as well as the Ambassadors involved in this mission::

TO_Benson says:
::Standing on the Bridge at tactical station two waiting for the rift to appear::

XO-Teasley says:
::Walking onto the Bridge with PADD about the current mission::

CSO_Taliza says:
::At science station preparing to take readings on the rift::

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Any action from the rift yet?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::At the helm, awaiting further orders::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Manning tactical station 1::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Uh… ::Not recognizing the person asking the question::…..I haven't seen anything yet, uh…. ::Looks at the pips:: Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Commander John Teasley, I am the XO.  Keep scanning.  ::Pecks at the PADD::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Have we met, Sir?

TO_Benson says:
::Taps the console making minor adjustments to the sensors::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Daydreaming::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Oh, YOU'RE Commander Teasley!  I'm Lt. JG Taliza Cal.  I transferred on while you were ill.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: We meet only for a short time before I caught the Bolian Flu.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Or maybe it was the trip back from the other universe that fried my brain.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Who knows, but I am glad we got this nice diplomatic mission.

TO_Benson says:
::Wonders if the CSO has had a bout with amnesia and shakes her head::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: In my experiences in Starfleet, Sir, limited as they are, I wouldn't bet on it being "nice."

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Of course, ever since Fizer showed up I am a bit on edge.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks at the TO shaking her head, gives her a look of "I forgot who he was"::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, who is this "Fizer"?

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: A Q-type human. A wizard if you will call it that.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Works on a new shield design...feeling a little bored while waiting::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Overhears the conversation and wonders if Fizer feels silly in his outfit::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Feels a shiver when he hears the letter Q::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Giggles at the FCO's thought::

XO-Teasley says:
CTO: You should go down and get the Roadrunner IV ready for the trip.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Qs are bad news, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
::Picks up a PADD and updates the ship's logs::

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: They always are.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
XO: Sir, the modifications are already complete.

XO-Teasley says:
CTO: All right, all we need now is the rift to open up.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Monitors the area for any sign of the rift opening::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
XO: Agreed.

XO-Teasley says:
::Waits for the rift::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: This is too strange.  Our intelligence said that this rift should have opened 10 minutes ago.  Nothing on my scans indicate we're even close to it opening.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Picks at a loose thread on his uniform::

TO_Benson says:
::Leans back and whispers:: CTO: Are you SURE we're at the correct coordinates, Sir?

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Maybe we should send a probe to check it out. maybe it works like the wormhole at DS9.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Good idea, Sir.  I'll prepare one.  ::Programs computer to send a class X probe with scientific sensors::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
TO: Pretty sure, but do keep in mind, these natural occurrences don't run on a schedule, all times are approximate.  When it opens, it will open on its own accord.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The loose thread on the FCO's uniform becomes a small hole and begins to unravel.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Stops picking at the tread::

XO-Teasley says:
*CO* Sir, the rift hasn't opened yet.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Probe ready for launch.

Host CO_Loran says:
*XO* Understood, I'll be right out.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The thread in the FCO's uniform pulls out straight and is still unraveling as though something else is pulling at it.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Stands up and turns off his console and heads out of his Ready Room and onto the Bridge::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
TO: And the fact that Fizer showed up, it wouldn't surprise me if it never opens.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks towards the screen, but then sees the threads of the FCO's uniform unravel:: XO/FCO: Sirs?

XO-Teasley says:
::Stands up and waits for the new Captain::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Breaks the thread::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Status on the rift?

TO_Benson says:
::Notices the FCO is fidgeting with his uniform and stops to watch::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the FCO::

XO-Teasley says:
::Sees the FCO:: Self: Fizer?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  Nothing so far, I've prepared a probe to scan the area.  It's ready to launch.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The broken thread picks itself up off the deck and does a dance in front of the FCO.

FCO_Jadahn says:
Self: Friggin crap!  Not today!

XO-Teasley says:
::Walks down near the FCO to get a better look at it::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
TO: It appears that Fizer is still present.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: And it seems our friend Fizer has decided to pay us a visit, Sir.  ::Points at the FCO::

TO_Benson says:
::Sees the thread float up and begin "dangling" in mid air in front of the FCO.  Pulls phaser and makes a move toward the FCO::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks at the 'problems' the FCO is having with his uniform and the thread::  FCO: You might want to get a new uniform on.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
TO: Put your phaser back, it won't stop Fizer from doing what he wants.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Holster the phaser, Lieutenant.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A small, purple "have a nice day" face appears inches from the FCO's nose and says "BOO!" It then disappears in a puff of purple smoke.

TO_Benson says:
FCO: Lieutenant, what is going on with your uniform?  ::Reaches out to grab the dangling thread::

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Well, Fizer seems to be in a nice mood.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Holsters phaser and continues to watch the FCO curiously::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, this Fizer fellow seems too weird for my taste.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The thread falls to the deck.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Shrugs to the TO then mumbles to self:: Self: Now it's happening when I'm sober.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Open a hailing frequency to the exact coordinates of the rift and see if we can communicate with the Calligar.

TO_Benson says:
::Stoops down and picks up the thread and hands it to the FCO:: FCO: I believe this belongs to you?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Sirs?  Shall I launch the probe?

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Not yet.

TO_Benson says:
::Turns and walks back to tactical station two::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Opens a hailing frequency to the given coordinates:: CO: Channel open, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Takes the thread:: TO: Uh... yup, that's mine.

TO_Benson says:
::Glances at the CTO as she takes her station and raises an eyebrow::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Calligar:  Calligar, this is Captain Matthew Loran of the Federation Starship Titan.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Glances back at the TO, wondering what the raised eyebrow was for::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: There is no response form the rift

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Maybe we should ask Fizer to open it up.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
CO: Sir, no response.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, still no action from the rift.

Host Amb_Sus_Gram says:
*CO* Captain, why have we not been informed about the rift?  It should have opened by now!  Were you not going to take us along?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Shakes head::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Set the coordinates for the probe to about 1000 meters from the coordinates of the rift's supposed opening and launch it.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Launching.  ::Launches probe to assigned coordinates::

Host CO_Loran says:
*Gram* Ambassador, the rift has not opened yet.  We are starting our investigation on why it hasn't opened yet.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The probe arrives at its programmed destination.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Ambassador grumbles something unintelligible and closes the COM.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain, the probe is at the coordinates.  I'll be taking readings of the area.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Excuse me, Sir, but perhaps we could open the rift artificially.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A subspace transmission comes through to Titan.

XO-Teasley says:
::Waits for the probe::

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Sir message coming in.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO:  It is possible but I was going to have Lieutenant Taliza do work on figuring that out after it opened.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO:  Open the channel.

XO-Teasley says:
::Opens channel:: CO: Channel open, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Turns her attention back to the sensor monitor::

Host Calligar says:
COM: Titan: This is the Calligar.  Thanks for waiting.  The rift should be opening pretty soon.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: You want to help me with the readings and some experiments?

XO-Teasley says:
CO: I'll call the Ambassadors, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: I will work on an idea from my console, Cal.  I will let you know what I come up with.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  The probe is reporting subspace and temporal disturbances.  This could be our rift opening now.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches the telemetry from the probe::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Calligar:  It is good to hear from you.  This is Captain Matthew Loran of the Federation Starship Titan.  We will be sending some Ambassadors over shortly after the rift is opened, if that is ok with you?

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks temporal?::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks the readings coming from the probe to see if there are any other data of significance::

XO-Teasley says:
*Ambassadors* Sirs, the rift is opening.  The shuttle is in Shuttlebay 1.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It seems the rift is shifted.

Host Calligar says:
COM: Loran: That'll be fine, Captain.  The water's fine over here.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Does our ship sensors show the same information as the probe?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Space itself begins to tear apart in a magnificent display of color and light.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'll double check.  ::Checks sensors:: Confirmed, Sir.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
Self: Wow, that looks quite nice.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Rift is opening, Sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Ambassadors acknowledge the XO and say they will meet at the shuttle bay.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO:  You have the Bridge.  CTO:  You are with me.   ::Walks to the turbolift and enters::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes data from probe and ship's sensors and applies them to simulation::

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Start running all scans on the rift.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Starting scans.

Host CO_Loran says:
Bridge:  Remember do not actively do any theories against the rift unless we absolutely need it to happen.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
TO: It appears I will be leaving momentarily.  I don't really have specific orders except for keep the Titan in one piece, and if Fizer shows, keep that phaser holstered.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I'm also applying data from the rift to a simulation.

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Good thinking

CSO_Taliza says:
::Loads simulation to see if our shuttle can navigate the rift::  Good luck, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Acknowledged, Sir.  ::Moves to tactical station one::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Runs simulation::

XO-Teasley says:
FCO: you and the CEO will be a fast response in the shuttle Titania.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Checks the phaser holstered in boot:: TO: Appreciate it.  CO: Sir, ready to depart.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Checks data:: XO: Sir, it seems the shift in the rift takes people back in time about 33 years, five months.

FCO_Jadahn says:
XO: Aye, Sir, I got my mission orders.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: wow. If you can see if you can get reading from the stars on that side and check it against star viewed from DS9 crews.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Steps into the turbolift::

Host CO_Loran says:
TL:  Shuttlebay One.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: It's confirmed, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, the shuttle can navigate the opening.  Fluctuations have stopped... for now.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks to Shuttlebay 1::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Follows the Captain::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Begins running second simulation, to see if the rift can be expanded to accommodate the Titan using current technology::

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: All right *CO* Fluctuations in the rift has stopped.  It is safe to go into the rift.

TO_Benson says:
::Monitors the rift and probe telemetry::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Walks into the Shuttlebay::  *XO*  Understood.  Thanks for the information.

XO-Teasley says:
*CO* You’re welcome, Sir.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Both Ambassadors are already waiting by the shuttle with security escorts.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: See if going into the DS9 wormhole is faster to contact them currently.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Calculating.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Approaches the shuttle that was prepared for the journey through the rift and motions for the Ambassadors to enter:: Ambassadors:  Time for our meeting with the Calligar.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Stands quietly behind the Captain::

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Prepare to launch shuttle.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
*Shuttle Roadrunner* Bridge to Roadrunner IV.  Prepare to launch.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: It's closer to contact the Calligar through here because the DS9 wormhole goes deep into the Gamma Quadrant.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Interesting. Sounds like a job for the Midas Array.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: The Midas Array?  The Midas Array points toward the Delta Quadrant, Sir, not the Gamma.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Sir, the shuttle is not ready for launch as yet, Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
::Punches up the info on the array and hands it to the CSO:: CSO: Here this should tell you everything.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I'll look at it later, Sir.  I need to see if we can open this rift ourselves if needed, and if we can take the Titan through.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Ambassadors finally climb on board the shuttle.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Right. In case this rift close up on them we need to jump-start the rift.

TO_Benson says:
*Shuttle Roadrunner* Bridge to Roadrunner IV, signal when ready for launch.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Enters the shuttle behind the ambassadors and moves to the front of the shuttle and takes the flight controls::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Thinks: About time!  Follows behind the Ambassadors into the shuttle::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Frowns::

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Walks over to the weapons locker, opens it up, pulls a COM badge out of his pocket and sticks it to a phaser rifle and returns to a console::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I can't find a way to open the rift artificially.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Titan: This is Roadrunner IV, we are ready to launch.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Scan the elements being emitted by the Rift.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Perhaps an ion stream from the deflector dish might open the rift?

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
::Programs a small algorithm into the computer::

TO_Benson says:
*Shuttle Roadrunner* Acknowledged.  Opening shuttlebay doors.  ::Taps console opening the doors::  XO: Shuttle is ready for launch.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Leans over to the CTO and whispers a little loud so Ambassador Gram can hear him::  CTO:  It has been a while since I piloted one of these things.  I hope I can still remember how to fly one.  ::Grins a little to the CTO and winks::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The shuttle launches smoothly.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Shuttle away, Sir.  ::Closes the shuttle doors::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: I'll see what that rift is made of.  May I remind you, commander, that when Capt. Pike took the original Enterprise through it caused the rift to close prematurely.

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Good job. CSO: See if it is safe to send the probe into the rift to keep a sensor lock on them.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Alarms begin to flash on the main computer.  Someone is scanning the library computers.

CTO_Scott_Madson says:
@::Grins and whispers:: CO: Don't look at me, last time I piloted one was at Starfleet Academy.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Sir, someone is scanning our database!  ::Tries to locate the source of the security breach::

XO-Teasley says:
::Hears the alarms:: ALL: Report!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  I'll navigate it in.  ::Activates controls::

XO-Teasley says:
ALL: Lock them out.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Guides the probe into the rift behind the Roadrunner::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Works furiously at his console, trying to aid the TO::

TO_Benson says:
::Taps console changing the access codes to the main computer and tries to lock out the scans::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Attempts to lock out the computer fail.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Unable to lock out the source of the scans, Sir.  Main computer is not responding to the lock out commands.

XO-Teasley says:
Computer: Encrypt all access to the computer.  Authorization code Teasley Falkirk 1983.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The scanning stops.

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Can you tell who scanned the computer?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: The probe is through.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Working on it, Sir.  ::Taps the console::  Sir, the scans originated from the other side of the rift.

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Keep it near the rift.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  Holding its position.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Scans have ceased.

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Send message to the Captain about it.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
FCO: Go and get the Titania ready for launch at moments notice.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The probe is sent back to a location near Titan.  It is broken up into pieces.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir!  The probe's been sent back to us in pieces!

TO_Benson says:
COM: Roadrunner: CO: Titan to Roadrunner IV, someone has scanned our main computer, Sir.  The scans originated from the other side of the rift.

FCO_Jadahn says:
XO: Right! ::Gets onto the turbolift:: Shuttlebay.

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Titan: This happened in the previous two encounters with the Calligar.  It is all right.  I was expecting it.

Host Calligar says:
@COM: Titan: Now, that wasn't nice.  We were only trying to update ourselves on the Federation's current situation.  Also, only one vessel is allowed on our side at a time.  Thank you for your cooperation.

TO_Benson says:
COM: Roadrunner: CO: Acknowledged, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, could you tell them it wasn't a vessel, but a probe?

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: I guess they don't want us dropping in on them.

TO_Benson says:
XO: The Captain informs me that the Calligar have scanned Starfleet databases in the past and it was expected.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Very secretive, aren't they, Sir?

XO-Teasley says:
CSO: Don't tell them about the probe and yes they are secretive.  Keep scans on high on that rift.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Away Team can now see the Calligar planet in all its glory.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
XO: Transmission coming in from the Calligar.  Apparently they did not like the probe, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
@Ambassadors:  There she is, ambassadors, the Calligar planet.

XO-Teasley says:
TO: No, but we should not be surprised by it they are secretive about it.
