XO-Teasley says:
::On the Bridge::

CTO_Madson says:
::On the Bridge at Tactical 1 going over sensor readouts::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks around at all the empty seats on the Bridge and tries to figure out who to tell what to do::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::In Main Engineering doing random system checks repeatedly::

TO_Benson says:
::Standing at tactical station two on the Bridge::

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

XO-Teasley says:
::Checking on the status of the computer core::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO/TO: I want you two to try and find out where that alien ship went.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, it went back into the rift.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: Are you sure?

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: How so?

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Did it go back into the rift or did it merely 'cloak' itself like when we first found it?

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Well, it disappeared, we have no warp trail and it is logical to assume that is where it went since that is where it came from.

TO_Benson says:
CO: I don't believe it actually "cloaked", Sir.  It just went back into the rift.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: But, how can you be sure that it didn't cloak?  We couldn't really detect it the first time.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Exactly.  You wouldn't detect it if it went back into the rift

XO-Teasley says:
::Running over system after system::

CTO_Madson says:
TO: But when it was cloaked originally we couldn't detect it, correct?

TO_Benson says:
CTO: As I said, Sir, I don't believe it was "cloaked".

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Listens intently to other peoples' conversations, and ponders things for himself trying to come up with an idea::

TO_Benson says:
CTO: However, if you want we could fire another burst of tachyon particles through the deflector dish again.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO/TO: Set up that tachyon/chronoton burst that happened the first time it was spotted.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Strange reports begin to filter in from all areas of the Federation.  Slowly at first then building faster.

XO-Teasley says:
*CEO* How are things going on down there

TO_Benson says:
CO: Need I remind the Captain, he did not want to provoke the aliens and thus ordered us to cease firing our burst upon the alien vessel?

CTO_Madson says:
TO: Or perhaps, our perception of the cloak and it creating a rift was all the same?  Just because we only use cloaks that hide our matter, what if it hides in time?

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Temporal shifting would cause the object to be perceived as a "cloak"

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Sir, reports are coming in from all over the Federation.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::Brings up the action log and steps through up setting up the tachyon/chronoton burst::

TO_Benson says:
::Begins setting up the deflector dish to emit the tachyon/chronoton burst::

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Yes, at that point we didn't know what we were dealing with, I was not on the ship, and at that point in time, with no contact with them, it could have been conceived as an attack.  Now, they are clearly the thieves and I want answers.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*XO* So far, alright down here.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO: What kind of reports?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Understood, Sir.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: Perhaps it bends time, hiding in it, yet it is still able to read sensor readouts of this time.  For all we know, it could be hiding one second into our past.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Sir, have you given any consideration to my request for transfer of main duty station?

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Odd ones, a virus in all Federation computers that is on a subspace carrier wave.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Agreed.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO: And would this virus be targeted at the data about the Romulan ship?

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: Request?  ::Looks at console, sees 83 messages/requests waiting, and then sees himself, baggy eyes and all in reflection:: Uh, yes the request.  I need to a little time to look over it again.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO: I thought as much.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Understood, Sir.

XO-Teasley says:
CO: Sounds like our friends are very advanced

TO_Benson says:
CTO: This virus that these aliens have planted in the computer of MA trying to wipe out all records of the Romulan ship.....why would they want to to that?  I mean, what is it they do not want us to find out?

XO-Teasley says:
CO: I suggest we go to radio black so the virus doesn't get us.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Scans for the virus again, very intensely::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Check our computers for that virus again.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: That seems to be the mystery.  There is something of great value of theirs located on/in, that ship.  The problem is that we don't know what it is.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Already on it, Sir.  ::Digs through the "usual" places that he learned about, and then the "unusual" places too, that he was trained to look in while he was on his 'big' away mission::

TO_Benson says:
CTO: That was my thought too, Sir, I just needed confirmation.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Over hears the CTO::  CTO: I'm betting that they had brought that ship to the Romulans a long time ago, and with us now getting around to putting it on display, we might find out that it wasn't from that century or from them.

CTO_Madson says:
TO: See if you can isolate the files regarding the Romulan vessel and copy and download them to a secure location.  Perhaps there was a scan somewhere, that we have overlooked something that might appear minor.

XO-Teasley says:
CO: I am willing to guess that you want to go after them Sir?

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Runs simulation of warp core, after the modification he'll add ::

Host CO_Loran says:
XO: Yes, I do.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console transferring the files on the Romulan vessel to an encrypted file and stores it::

CTO_Madson says:
CO: I believe so too.  Perhaps that, or they have placed some valuable information on the vessel.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Engages in thorough and concentrated scans of the computer, in an attempt to scare the virus into another section of the computer, hence catching it in its movements "red handed" and positively identifying it::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: A figure transports onto Titan's Bridge wrapped in an unusual transporter beam and wearing an obviously Starfleet uniform, but the uniform is different.

TO_Benson says:
::Draws phaser and moves up to face the intruder.  Positions herself between the intruder and the CO, aiming phaser at the intruder::

XO-Teasley says:
::Looks at the new comer and move down near him::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: How long until we can fire…..  ::Stops as the person appears on the Bridge::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
::Holds up his hands:: All: Don't shoot!

CTO_Madson says:
::Draws phaser::

XO-Teasley says:
::Notices the Starfleet uniform::

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Hold on everyone.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks over his shoulder at the figure, shakes his head, and ignores it, thinking, "Freaking distractions"::

TO_Benson says:
::Moves back a few small steps but keeps phaser aimed at the intruder::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks at the apparent Starfleet officer, possibly from a future time.

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
::Turns to Loran::  I am Commander Lansing from the Federation Time Corps.  I'm here to help you.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Tries to "fly below the radar" while the figure is there and continues to scan for the virus::

XO-Teasley says:
::Finally.

CTO_Madson says:
::Holds phaser in one hand, and starts running scans with the other, on his console::

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: I take it you are from the future that these aliens come from.

XO-Teasley says:
CTO: <W>: you can put down your phaser.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Grins as he catches the virus, and attempts to purge it from the computer but it slips out of his grasp before he can do so he mutters an expletive to himself quietly::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
Loran: In a manner of speaking, yes.

CTO_Madson says:
::Lowers his phaser to an ever-so-slight relaxed position, but still keeps his I on Lansing while running scans to confirm his story::

XO-Teasley says:
::Moves over near the Captain to join in on the talk::

TO_Benson says:
::Visually inspects the intruder for weapons while keeping her phaser aimed and ready::

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: What can you tell us about them and this supposed Romulan ship?

CTO_Madson says:
::Sees the sensor readouts and holsters his phaser. Whispers:: TO: I think it might be safe to stand down but still be on your toes.

TO_Benson says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  ::Holsters phaser but stands her ground, ready for anything::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
Loran: Romulan ship?  Oh, you mean the small one that was stolen?  Well, it's not really Romulan, you see.  Maybe we should move to the briefing room so that I can update all of your senior officers.

CTO_Madson says:
::As the moment catches everyone's attention, with one hand he casually does a search in his messages looking for the one from Raine regarding a request.  One pops up so out of the corner of his eye he starts to read it::

XO-Teasley says:
::I guess that is a good idea::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL:  Lets adjorn to the briefing room so we can learn about this alien.

CTO_Madson says:
::Finishes reading the letter and casually closes it and gets ready to walk off::

XO-Teasley says:
FTC: After you.  ::Motions::

TO_Benson says:
::Waits for the intruder to move towards the Briefing room::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Starts to head to his Ready Room then realizes it isn't in that direction and moves to the other side of the Bridge and the Briefing Room::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: wait, isn't the Briefing Room over here on these old ships?  ::Points in the opposite direction::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Does more scans of warp core::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: But Sir…  ::Looks at the CO with a firm expression then glances at his console then back to the CO::  I have duties.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* We will need you in the Briefing Room ASAP, Commander.

TO_Benson says:
::Looks at the intruder and raises an eyebrow at his comment.  Follows the intruder closely, ready to fry his butt at a second's notice::

XO-Teasley says:
FTC: No, it's over there. ::Still pointing in the same direction::

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* Aye, Sir. Self: now where is that again?  ::Heads for the Bridge::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  I think you will need to be in the meeting, as it might help you with the virus.

CTO_Madson says:
::Follows the staff to the Briefing Room and smirks at Raine's thoughts::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
XO: Well, okay.  It's easy to get these older ships mixed up what with all the changes.  ::Trails off and heads to the Briefing Room::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Enters what he thinks is the Briefing Room and goes to sit down at what he thinks is the head of the table::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Frowns, grumbles and quickly sets up several system blocks and filters, to try to corner or at least slow the virus while he is away::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and heads into the Briefing Room::

TO_Benson says:
::Enters the Briefing Room and takes her station to the side of the door watching the intruder intently::

XO-Teasley says:
FTC: We had some troubles in dodging realities lately.  ::Shows him to his seat and heads to his own seat::

CTO_Madson says:
::Sits down at the table::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
XO: I know.  ::Grins and waits for everyone to be seated::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Takes a seat::

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks: I bet he does time travel.  Sits down::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Reluctantly gets up from his station and enters the briefing room and takes a seat very near this "Commander Lansing"::

CEO_Fletcher says:
~~~FCO: Who's the in the uniform at the head of the table?~~~

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: What we are dealing with begins in what is known to you as the 29th Century.

XO-Teasley says:
::Listening to the FTC::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Listens to the FTC::

FCO_Jadahn says:
~~~CEO: Some Commander Lansing guy.  That's who he claims to be.  He says he's from the future, from the Federation Time Corps.  I wouldn't trust him completely yet.  He needs better proof than his word.  Well, for me anyway~~~

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: That's where the ship that was stolen comes from.  It is not Romulan, however, it is Federation.

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks: Odd::

TO_Benson says:
::Raises an eyebrow and thinks: "Not Romulan but Federation?"::

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: What was it doing in our timeline, 200 years ago?

CTO_Madson says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: It was an experimental vessel for the time and was assigned to monitor the Four Years War with the Klingons.

CEO_Fletcher says:
~~~FCO: Did you try mentally scanning him, you're Betazoid aren't you, you can at least tell if he's lying~~~

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks: Okay, but why that?::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Begins writing programs on a PADD for isolating the virus so that he can have them prepared and ready to be run on the computer when he returns to his station::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: After a certain malfunction, the ship was stranded in that timeline.  Starfleet eventually found it and brought it to Memory Alpha.

FCO_Jadahn says:
~~~CEO: Nothing I can detect that says he's lying or untrustworthy but we can't base everything on that.  You getting anything from him?~~~

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: Now we move to the 31st century, by your calendar.

CTO_Madson says:
~~~FCO/CEO: Hey you guys.  Stop scanning the guy, he seems to telling the truth, just listen to what the man has to say~~~

TO_Benson says:
::Starts to feel a headache coming on::

CEO_Fletcher says:
~~~FCO: I'm getting no feeling of distrust or anything like that from him.  To be Betazoid you have to rely on the empathic sense but then again your Vulcan too~~~

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks: I’m going to need to find aspirin after that one::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: The Federation is at war with another race.  They are from outside the Galaxy and really aren't much of a threat.  After all, we did wipe out the Borg.  ::Catches himself::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Raises an eyebrow, looks at the CTO, gives him an odd look and then resumes writing program after program while listening to this "Commander"::

XO-Teasley says:
::Raises eyebrow::

TO_Benson says:
::Thinks: Wipes out the Borg?::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Continues to listen::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks at Lansing, then involuntarily says out loud:: Self: I didn't hear nothin'.

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: Anyway, this race has gotten the idea to try going back in time to somehow disrupt the Federation and win the war in our own time.  We haven't been able to figure out what or why they decided to try this until now.

XO-Teasley says:
FTC: I don't suppose you know where they are now?

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
All: They found out about our lost ship through a Ferengi spy and chose to steal it.  Their hope is to modify it and use it against the Federation either here or in our own time.

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
XO: Yes, we know exactly where it is.

TO_Benson says:
::Raises her hand::  FTC: Excuse me, Sir but could you elaborate on how you were able to wipe out the Borg?  What weapons were used, tactical maneuvers utilized, etc?

XO-Teasley says:
::Puzzled::

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: Why would they figure modifying it in our time will do any good.  Besides, from what we can tell, it will only support weapons that are too old to even matter.

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
TO: I could, but then I'd have to kill you.  ::Grins::

TO_Benson says:
FTC: You'd have to catch me first, Commander.

XO-Teasley says:
TO: Remember, temporal stuff.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Makes note to try to purge his mind of everything he learned that violates the temporal prime directive...but then remembers that his mind usually purges his memory on it's own, so he just drops the idea::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
Loran: That's a good question.  Why not just take it back to their own time and upgrade it there?  ::Ignores the TO for now::  We can only guess that their time engines can only support their own ship and that they have to modify the smaller one for safe travel first.

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: Can that ship not travel through time itself, since it got into our past in the first place?

TO_Benson says:
::Sighs but figures it was worth a shot.  Resumes listening to the FTC Commander::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
Loran: No, it cannot.  The malfunction that originally occurred was never repaired.

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: Could they not repair it themselves?

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
::Looks at Loran with a bit of surprise::  CO: Obviously not or we wouldn't have this problem, would we?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Clears throat in an attempt to signal that he has something to say to Mr. FTC::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Just hearing this is getting really interesting:: Self: Would I love to scan and play with all that time gear?

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
::Turns to the FCO:: Yes, Mr. Jadahn?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Surprised this guy knows his name::  FTC: The Federation finds this vessel from the future and just sticks it in a museum?  So they didn't realize it was from the future then how is that possible?  Wouldn't they notice something about its technology, its design, its computer system?

TO_Benson says:
FTC: I would assume you are going to have to do something to wipe out our memory of your appearance here?

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
FCO: I can't go into all the details.  Remember it is still classified.  And don't worry about the virus now in your system.  It's harmless and we'll help you take care of it.

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
TO: Let's just say that you'll be getting a visit from Temporal Investigations.

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: So, how can we deal with these aliens?

TO_Benson says:
::Thinks: That fits.  Sighs::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
CO: Another good question!  I will show you how to modify your weapons and shields as well as other systems so that you can damage their cloak enough for us to get the ship back.

XO-Teasley says:
::Keeps listening::

Host CO_Loran says:
FTC: Do you have anything else for us?

CEO_Fletcher says:
Self: Yes, new toys.

CTO_Madson says:
::Smiles at the sound of weapons modifications::

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
CO: No, that's all for now.  We'd better get started before the football heads decide you're too annoying to hang around with.

TO_Benson says:
::Perks up as she hears "modify the weapons and shields" and wants to see exactly what modifications they are going to make.  Tries to figure out how to record them somewhere safe for later retrieval::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL:  Does anybody have any other questions pertaining to these aliens?

TO_Benson says:
::Raises hand::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks at the TO::  TO: Yes, Lieutenant?

TO_Benson says:
FTC: How do we know you are who you say you are?  How do we know you aren't one of these aliens here to sabotage our ship?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Hears the Commander mention Temporal Investigations and subtly encodes several notes on the situation into one of his programs, and, making sure all telepathic blocks are up, thinks, "These people aren't gonna get the best of me, not if I can do anything about it."  Puts his PADD away and resumes just looking on and listening::

TO_Benson says:
FTC: Do you have any proof of who you claim to be?

Host Cmdr_Lansing says:
TO: I assume you've scanned me already.  I'll further assume that you have visual records on the football heads.  Do I look like them?  Beyond that, you'll just have to trust me.

TO_Benson says:
FTC: For all we know these aliens could be shape shifters.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: At that moment, the ship rocks hard to port and the red alert sounds.

XO-Teasley says:
::Thinks: “Trust” Interesting uses of words::

XO-Teasley says:
Self: What the...??  ::Runs out of the room::

CEO_Fletcher says:
Self: Predictable.

TO_Benson says:
::Gets thrown towards the port bulkhead.  Quickly recovers and scrambles back to tactical two on the Bridge::

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: You or Mr. Madson will watch these upgrades.  All: Now what?  ::Gets up and moves to the Bridge::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Heads straight to engineering::

TO_Benson says:
::Takes ship to Red Alert::  All: Red Alert!

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Almost falls out of his chair, but doesn't, and gets up and enters the Bridge::

XO-Teasley says:
::Runs onto the Bridge to find out what is going on::

TO_Benson says:
::Checks shield status and charges weapons::
