[18:33] 12SUMMARY: Time to make a trip through the looking glass. [18:33] 12Coronado has arrived at Starbase 235. While there she will undergo major repairs and some minor refitting. This is estimated to take a couple of weeks. Captain LoraKor has taken this opportunity to attend the Annual Captains Meetings and has left Commander Bentall to oversee the repairs and the scheduling of week long shore leave for the crew. [18:33] 12Enroute to the Starbase is Captain Swift whom the crew of the Coro met not so long ago. Swift was the Captain of a mirror universe ship that requested asylum in the Confederation. In the short time he's been here, Swift has been preparing a mission of the top secret variety. Unbeknownst to the Coro crew they will be a part of this Mission. [18:33] 12So now the crew packs their belongings and prepares to enjoy their shore leave, unaware that things are conspiring against them and will eventually propel them into a mission who's outcome has the galaxy hanging in the balance.......

[18:34] ack [18:35] I'd like to point out that the statement that was made to the JAG office in that special log for both the Quantum Fury and the Coronado was made during the time spent on the starbase before we set out. Just to clear up where that fit. [18:36] Ok. Just to clarify we are still at the Starbase. SO that happened shortly after we arrived then? [18:36] Yes, almost immediately. [18:36] I had to do it for the sake of progressing the QF's current plot. [18:37] ::nods:: Thanks. Ok. First part of this will be character development while i get things set up in character.

[18:47] RR> ::smiles glad to see that Tal refreshed herself upon returning to the ship:: Well this has alot to do with those two events. Some of what went on there was and still is heavily classified though I suspect with your intelligence contacts you may know what they are. ::glances at the PADD one more time as if mulling somthing over:: Admiral Wallace and I have met.

My targeting sensors are out.. Watch out, this one's difficult.. [19:06] RR> ::shrugs:: No idea. But as you know the Coro is at least three weeks from being space worthy again. Anyways when she returns the four of us will head into the conference lounge and get to the bottom of things. [19:06] EnGates> +tap+ Yes sir [19:06] Swift> ::begins running to lend a hand as he identifies a Jem'Hadar soldier:: [19:06] * |LCSC_Tal| uses the knife to slice the Jem'Hadar's ketracel white tube... and his throat.

[19:10] <|LCSC_Tal|> ::chuckels:: Are there any other female Romulans in Starfleet? [19:10] In a few minutes Commander Tal will be bringing a certain gentlemen into the conference lounge. You will recognize him but you will ignore that he was ever here. Understood? ::is glad that Daren is currently the only officer on the bridge:: [19:10] HD> ::Pulls tight G-turn to avoid collision:: +HDtaps+ Going around up a pass.

[19:16] CL> ::nods at Bentall and Ironside with a lopside grin:: Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a little go round with a Jem'Hadar assassin.

First off though what is he doing here? ::indicates Ironside as he sits down:: [19:17] CL> ::gives Bentall a glance:: On the Coronado or the Station? [19:17] HD> ::watches as Wayne's fighter drifts slowly toward the planet:: +HDtaps+ Good news is that the pirate broke off seeing that I'm a crazed lunatic. Bad news is you're accelerating toward the planet.. [19:18] HD> ::through interference:: +HDtaps+ Trying to jump start but flight controls are fried.

[19:18] ::stands and walks around the empty bridge to the science station:: [19:18] HD> ::pulls up alongside Wayne and waves:: Ok, stand by. [19:19] CL> I notified Starbase 235 security. I'll see the doctor later. Let's get this over with. ::winces in barely repressed pain:: [19:19] CL> ::leans back, allready forming a dislike for Swift, but surpressing the instinct to answer the question himself:: [19:19] HD> ::feels gravitational pull:: +HDtaps+ Better hurry. [19:19] ::glowers in growing anger:: My apologies Captain. ::said sarcastically:: He's here by order of your boss. Admiral Wallace. Satisfied?

Nothing personnel. ::turns to face the three Coro officers together:: As you know my former home is currently plotting to take over this universe in one foul swoop by use of an ancient alien artifact. ::pauses:: We are going to put an end to that plan. [19:20] ::walks to the remote Engineering station and checks out the repair progress:: [19:21] CL> ::leans forward slightly:: {{This should be interesting....}} [19:21] CL> ::raises an eyebrow:: May I inquire as to the nature of this artifact? [19:21] HD> Wuh-oh.. +HDtaps+ You were moving too fast at the time of impact. I can only divert your course enough to put you into a quickly decaying orbit.. [19:22] CL> ::looks at Tal, then Ironside:: Captain, you and the admiral are aware that the Coronado is in no condition to be running a mission of that nature? [19:22] HD> ::feels the bump and tries to turn on a thruster:: +HDtaps+ Keep it up. ::adjusts a thruster and fires it up:: [19:22] HD> ::looks "down" as the planet comes up fast:: [19:22] Swift> CL> ::looks first to Tal:: No you may not. Top Secret for the time being. And yes Commander Bentall we are aware of it. We won't be using the Coronado for this mission. [19:23] CL> ::allows his eyebrows to go up slightly:: [19:23] ::reads the repair progress report:: Still quite a way tog o [19:23] go [19:24] Swift> CL> ::continues on:: After the Admiral and I had finished laying out our plans we decided it would be best to make a trip to the mirror universe in a disguise. What bettter disguise then a Dominion Attack Ship. [19:24] ::walks back to the Command Chair through the holotank which is displaying the surrounding area including the starbase:: [19:24] CL> ::blinks a few times:: I take it that personell for this mission will be minimal, then. [19:24] CL> ::chuckles:: This is Dad's plan to protect me? Send me to a mirror universe? Oh this is too good... [19:25] HD> ::curses as his engine cuts out:: +HDtaps+ Um, I didn't tell you this but I set the simulation for hard. I guess that mine from the pirate has eaten away at my power systems as well. We're both going in for a hard landing.. [19:25] Swift> CL> ::grins at his own sneakiness:: Very astitue of you Major. I thought you jar heads were a little slow. Glad to see I was mistaken. I will be leading this mission. Commander Bentall will be my XO and the rest of the Senior Coro Staff and some of the Marines will round out the crew. I only need 30 or so. [19:25] HD> ::watches planet get larger:: +HDtaps+ It is not working. Nick...One thing...You shot me [19:26] CL> ::laughs and turns to Swift:: Captain, may I say that you have impeccable timing, sir?

I was lookin- [19:26] CL> ::begins detailing off marines in his head for the combat duty, figuring he'll be able to pull a platoon's worth with him:: [19:27] Swift> CL> ::grins:: I know why too Commander. You're father and I have gotten to be farily good friends. [19:27] CL> How much time do we have to get organized Captain? [19:27] CL> ::winces again as she nods at Swift:: [19:28] Swift> CL> I'd say about fifteen minutes Commander. Better hop to it. Have the members of the crew who are going meet at docking port 17. There will be two runabouts there to escort us to our ship. [19:28] CL> ::tightens the grip on her injured tricep:: [19:28] HD> ::watches as Spectre gains speeds as it is pulled towards planet's surface:: +HDtaps+ I can not believe you shot your wingman. [19:29] HD> ::crashes into the planet and watches as the simulation fades away into the yellow and black gridlines of a holodeck:: [19:29] CL> ::raises an eyeebrow:: Alright then. Major if you can take care of the Marines I'll handle the rest of the group. Commander Tal, go get that injury looked at. ::rises and heads out onto the bridge:: [19:29] HD> ::looks over to Wayne with a sheepish grin on his face:: (quietly) Heya..
