These have mostly to do with sort of "merit badge"-like medals: medals that you get for meeting certain qualifications. [18:05] ::blinks, then checks his mail:: [18:05] In particular, I want to recognize Commanders Bentall and Dejat, Colonel Ironside, and Lieutenant Oswald for recently being recognized with the Golden Nebula. :) [18:05] * Savant claps ^_^ [18:05] I won a medal? [18:06] ::applauds:: [18:06] ::applauds:: [18:06] Cool. ;-) [18:06] This is a recognition that you gain for attending 30 sims in a row in some stretch, somewhere. :) [18:06] wow... [18:06] * LCHL_Dejat blinks. News to me :) [18:06] ::claps:: [18:06] ::claps:: [18:06] And I'd like to recognize Captain LoraKor for doing the same. :) [18:06] do we get a real nebula? [18:06] Yeah well, I have to show up. ;) [18:06] he he he [18:06] =) [18:06] ::grins:: [18:06] So? You still earned it. :) [18:06] Congrats to all :) [18:06] Second, the ever-humble Colonel Ironside was also recently recognized with another medal, the Silver Medal for Service. :) [18:07] ::applauds again:: [18:07] :;claps:: [18:07] ::claps:: [18:07] This is a recognition gained by officers who serve for 18 months in a department head position, performing all duties in an exemplary fashion. :) [18:07] ::claps:: [18:07] ::didn't know he got this one either, but will take it:: ;-) [18:07] That's why I'm announcing 'em. ;) [18:08] * Savant claps [18:08] Finally, I have another couple of these to recognize people with. First, Lieutenant Oswald. Miss Oswald has now been a department head for 12 months, qualifying her for the Meritorious Service Medal. :) [18:08] Congratulations, Lieutenant! :) [18:08] I have? [18:08] woo hoo! [18:08] oh dear... [18:08] * LCHL_Dejat applauds [18:08] ::applauds:: [18:08] ::just continues to clap, as lights go on and off:: [18:09] is there a Chief Hologram medal? [18:09] LOL [18:09] Only for holograms who don [18:09] 't tackle their fellow crew. :) [18:09] And finally, Lieutenant Major Masters has qualified for his Starfleet Service Ribbon, for attending at least 20 sims on a Starfleet vessel. :) [18:09] d'oh [18:09] Congratulations, Major. :) [18:09] * Savant claps [18:09] ::applauds:: [18:09] ::more applause:: [18:09] :;claps:: [18:09] Ty :) [18:10] * L2SLPetrovna smiles and claps loudly [18:10] ::claps, applauds, cheers, whistles, etc:: [18:10] ::claps:: [18:10] OK.

[18:11] hehee - an execution is always fun to watch [18:11] Why, sir? Would you like me to propose to you in the traditional human style? [18:11] * Savant drags Dejat before the captain [18:11] ((he he he!)) [18:11] ::whispers to Dalton:: you think I should rescue him?

Your graphics are liberally sprinkled all over the site. Your logs dirty my log system. [18:13] ::uses the movement to kick Ironside in the shin, but desides to flop down to the ground anyway--his legs are tired:: [18:13] IC, you're one of Coro's finest officers. It's disgusting! [18:13] Isn't it, though? [18:13] What do you have to say for yourself?! [18:13] ::Replicates a couple of apples and passes them around:: [18:13] Ah...it's been fun. ::smirks:: [18:14] Bah. Commander Bentall. [18:14] * Savant pokes Bentall [18:14] Yes? [18:14] Order the quartermaster to requisition new quarters for Mister Dejat. Commander-rank quarters. Despite my better judgement and advice from people from here to Cardassia, he's being promoted. [18:15] * LCHL_Dejat grins. [18:15] Aye Captain. ::smiles at Dejat:: [18:15] ::grins and pins the new pip in place:: Congratulations, Commander Dejat!

[18:16] =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it... [18:16] Stardate 240012.11: "Implacable Stranger", Part 2, by Jester. [18:16] SUMMARY: Disaster strikes. [18:16] While en route for Wormwood (again), Coronado unexpectedly dropped out of slipstream, transiting to normal space. Then, every system on the ship that relied on subspace transmissions failed! That included computers, communications, and warp and slipstream drive. We're currently dead in space, with main power available, but no thrust greater than impulse. [18:16] Nearby, a subspace "flux" opened. The flux, a rip in the fabric of space-time, threatens to expand until it consumes first the local systems, then the galaxy, then the universe! In less than an hour, the rift more than tripled in size and its growth rate is geometric. In addition to being destructive, the rift is also highly unstable. [18:16] As we watched, more or less helpless and immobilized, a number of starships emerged from the rift, one by one. These starships, "ghosts" of Coronados past and future, were apparently called forth by a mysterious stranger in Sickbay. The stranger is human, male, mid-30s, and is a DNA match to Brian Aldur. The problem: in 2400, Brian Aldur is in his early 60s! [18:16] ack [18:16] ack [18:16] ack [18:16] ack [18:16] ack [18:16] ack [18:16] ackety ack [18:16] ack [18:17] ack [18:17] ack [18:17] ack [18:17] We're picking up a few seconds after the teaser, which in itself is a few seconds after last week's sim. [18:17] Any questions before we start? [18:17] nope [18:17] No sir [18:18] No, sir [18:18] nossir. [18:18] Which era was the ship that had us in its tractor-like- thing from? [18:18] Nyet Sir [18:18] do we have a starting url agian? [18:18] Late 2500s. [18:18] * CRHL_Dejat nods. [18:18] And I'll post URLs as you need 'em. ;) [18:19] okie [18:19] I do have one more announcement. :) I'd like a quick round of applause for the astronauts of STS-97, Space Shuttle Endeavour, who recently completed an outstanding mission, making really real humanity's first human occupation in space. (more) [18:19] Woo! Those Solar Panels are huge! [18:19] i'm sure they are O_o [18:19] * CRHL_Dejat aplauds [18:19] *** ENSI_Tempus (ragarok@id-63611.ras10.ohclv.agisdial.net) has joined #uss-coronado [18:19] *** CoroLCARS sets mode: +v ENSI_Tempus [18:19] Computer recognizes ENSI_Tempus. Authorization codes enabled. [18:19] Endeavour initiated a new tradition: when docking and undocking from Alpha, they rang an old-style ship's bell, and announced "Endeavour arriving" and "Endeavour departing". In honor of this new tradition, Coro will be following it for all future dockings with Starbases and the like. [18:20] I'll be adding a ship's bell to the sound pack. ;) [18:20] i like! [18:20] a very nice touch ^_^ [18:20] wahooo!

I can't monitor any internal communcations! [18:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:21] =.\ction= Everyone aboard has a brief flash of déjà vu. When it is over, the future ship is gone. [18:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:21] M> ::frowns at Aldur lying on the biobed, then turns to Petrovna, Tlaloco and Cavanaugh:: Did you see that? He glowed ... [18:21] ::blinks:: That's getting annoying. [18:21] ::glances at LoraKor:: What was that? [18:21] ::shakes his head:: We're clear...drifting towards the anomaly though. [18:21] * Savant flashes briefly as the wave of deja vu passes oer [18:21] ::now stands at the tactical console, attempting to break the 'tractor' beam somehow:: [18:21] M> ::nods, frowning:: Da..I did [18:21] M> I know I slept a lot during human anatomy classes, but humans do not present bioluminescent qualities. [18:21] M> Sorry. I was monitoring your condition. [18:22] E> :;looks at her to Lts:; what am I going to do? [18:22] E> ::shakes head:: I hate it when that happens! [18:22] ::shakes his head:: Aldur must have pushed us again. [18:22] FB> ::stands there pondering the deja vu:: (m) really starting to hate that [18:22] ::glances at the anomaly suspiciously, awaiting another vessel:: [18:22] M> Fascinating. Bioluminescence. [18:22] * Savant 's brows knit together [18:22] M> ::looks at Tlaloco:: *My* condition? I'm not the one stuck out of time. [18:22] ::shakes his head:: +taps+ Bentall to Dalton, Doctor how's our guest doing? Can we talk to him yet? [18:22] E> ::gets Sky beamed to sickbay:: [18:22] i - i'm not sure how i ca-ca-ca-can help, Captain. [18:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:22] SB> ::turns his eyes to the unconscious form of Aldur:: If I may speak freely, Doctor. Please, you know what you have to do and making up things won't help you-- ::he pauses as others assert his claim:: Oh, my apologies. I did not see it. [18:23] M> You were just out of sorts for quite a while, sir, your readings are still just beyond normal parameters. [18:23] M> definately interesting. I would like to find out why he..."glowed" as you said [18:23] ::analyzing the area:: I believe we have been retured to the present Captina [18:23] E> ::looks at Oswald:: Did you say something, maam [18:23] M> +taps+ ::gives Cavanaugh a glare:: He's still unconscious. I'm afraid we're running out of pharmacological options to wake him. [18:23] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:23] ::turns to Daren:: We have? Science, confirm. [18:23] FB> ::makes the rounds of the bay checking on the teams:: [18:23] Can we even tell if it's us shifting, or the other ships? [18:23] ::gently fires a few thruster bursts to get the ship moving away from the anomaly at a greatly relaxed pace:: [18:24] * Savant attempts to access the sciences [18:24] ::checking:: Aye, it seems that way [18:24] M> Scanning for bioluminescent signatures, high levels of phosphorescent and the like. [18:24] E> ::looks Farley:: are you okay now? [18:24] ::checks h is console:: I'm getting no trace of the space- time rift [18:24] M> ::nods at Petrovna:: Access internal ship sensors, see if his bioreadings for that period in time reflected any unusual stats that could explain the glow, Lieutenant. [18:24] i agree. Tempora-ra-ra ::scowls and pauses:: [18:24] E> Yes, maam. [18:24] =.\ction= The lights marginally brighten. [18:24] * Savant immediately lifts off of the ground, her holographic form brightening and her eyes resuming their regular faint luminescence [18:24] M> As far as his physiology is concerned, there's nothing that would account for his glowing. [18:24] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:25] * Savant smiles [18:25] E> ::looks at the status screen:: hmm... warp drive's comming online again... [18:25] +taps+ Understood. I know I don't need to tell you to let us now when he's awake and coherent so I wont. Bentall out. ::grins at his play on words then faces the Captain:: Our guest is still out of it Captain. I think we are going to need to talk to him before we get out of this mess. [18:25] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:25] E> ::heads to a panel to finish checks:: [18:25] ::looks back at his console as numerous displays flicker back to life:: Captain, the subspace receivers are coming back online. [18:25] i'm very pleased to announce that Faster than Light processing has been restored [18:25] ::exhales loudly:: About time. [18:25] FB> ::finishes his tour and heads for Flight Ops:: [18:25] ::smiles slightly and stands up:: What happened? [18:25] M> ::nods and moves to a console, accessing internal sensors:: [18:25] SB> ::ignores the glare:: Well, at least this confirms that this guy is somehow linked to the whole mess. Doctor -- will you be doing it? [18:25] attempting to discern that, Sir. [18:25] E> ::turns toward Oswald:: Maam main power is coming back online? [18:25] M> Doing what? [18:26] * Savant looks about the bridge, looking immensely pleased - well, as immensely pleased as a program ever looked [18:26] M> +taps+ Medbay to bridge, Sir I would like to access internal sensors to check on something that happened here in medbay [18:26] M>::moves over to Petrovna, whispers:: keep an eye on the doc's readings. I've got a gut feeling- [18:26] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:26] ::walks over to Skylooker as a nurse tends to him, sees it is a moderate concussion, and begins to treat him, happy to be away from Aldur:: [18:26] Are you able to move us away from the anomoly yet, Commander Dejat? [18:26] M> Whatever it was the Captain seemed to imply you could do and you were afraid to. [18:26] ::walks slowly toward the empty holographic tank:: Anything in the immediate area, Commander Daren? [18:27] ::nods:: High impulse at your disposal. [18:27] M> ::nods:: [18:27] M> ::his back to Cavanaugh:: I don't know what you're talking about, Ensign. [18:27] ::checking tactical scanners:: [18:27] We're starting to receive Federation comm traffic. I've got time beacon signals back as well. It looks like everything is back to normal... [18:27] ::nods:: Moves us back from the anomoly a few hundred kilometres and keep us in a stable position. [18:27] ::looks at Ironside:: Which means something bad is about to happen. [18:27] ::waves at the holographic tank:: What anomaly? [18:27] ::smirks slightly:: Despite the pessimism, Commander, I'd tend to agree. [18:28] +taps+ Bridge to Engineering. Zunite, what do the warp drives look like? [18:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:28] there are no signs o the anomaly, sir. [18:28] =.\ction= The holographic tank is empty, showing only a few local stars. The rift is not in evidence. [18:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:28] (of, even)) [18:28] ::looks up:: Oh.... It's gone. When did that happen? [18:28] I'm getting LORASON control returning now, first sweep indicates we are alone for a half light year in all directions. I'm not showing any trace of that "Timeship" Coronado! [18:28] M>::continues whispering to Petrovna:: I don't know that much about the Doc's physiology, or how his proximity to the patient has affected him... [18:28] +taps+ their powering back up... [18:28] M> Doctor. ::a stated pause as he takes some time to inspect Aldur:: Delaying it will only give this thing more time to blow on us. Please. [18:28] FB> ::enters Flight Ops and calls over the duty officer:: Power seems to be restored. We still have that intruder problem or can we get the techs and pilots back to work? [18:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:28] It appears that the timeship has done its jop appropriately. . . at leat, upon first analysis. [18:28] ::nods:: +taps+ Good. Let me know when they're ready for use, if you would? [18:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:29] +taps+ of course [18:29] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:29] M>Also, please excuse me for sounding like I'm issuing orders to a superior officer. I- um gotta get used to this groveling. [18:29] Mr Daren, please reroute internal sensor reading to the medlab. [18:29] M> (q) I think something happened, and it might have...broken something in doctor [18:29] though there is the curiosity of Mr Aldur in our sickbay [18:29] +taps+ Thank you. ::smiles and closes the channel, fiddling with his control board:: [18:29] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:29] +taps+ Bridge to medlab, sensor readings are being rerouted to main viewer. [18:29] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:29] ::blinks as his console makes a negative beeping sound:: This is odd. The computer was rejected when it automatically attempted to download the latest information from the closest time beacon. [18:29] * Savant smiles politely, "The ships operations have assumed normal status sir. All systems optimal." [18:29] M>Broken?::raises eyebrow: : Please explain. [18:30] ::heads for the Science station:: Mr. Tempus, what just happened? [18:30] M> ::turns away from Skylooker and snaps loudly at Tlaloco:: I *can* hear you, Mr. Tlaloco. And you're positively dripping such heartwarming concern You show up like a sore thumb on my empathic radar. [18:30] ::nods at XO:: Aye Sir... ::routes internal sensor readings to the medical bay:: [18:30] M>Turnabout's fair play, Doctor. [18:30] we have apparnetly been pushed INTO the rift, sirs. Would you like to see the sensor logs? [18:30] M> ::throws a hypospray at Cavanaugh:: You want to talk to him, you wake him up and say hello. [18:30] ::rises and heads over to Ironside:: It was rejected? Any idea why? [18:30] M> I'll be in my office. [18:30] * Savant taps her lower lip with a finger [18:31] E> ::looks at Farley:: how much longer till the warp drive is up.. [18:31] ::looking at the scans:: Somethin' is wrong here... [18:31] ::hears Col Ironside:: rejected? [18:31] M> ::quietly stalks out of sick bay and into his small office space:: [18:31] ::shakes his head:: All I'm getting is an Access Denied message. Savant? Can you access it? [18:31] E> Maam, everything checks out good with the core [18:31] M> Doctor... ::struggles to maintain a respectful tone towards his superior officer, keeping perfect composure as he catches the hypospray:: You want me to wake him, do you? So be it. Hopefully, something'll happen to put you out of that craven state. [18:31] M>::casts a glance at Petrovna, and follows the doctor at a discreet distance:: [18:31] The automatic ID code and the transponder password were both rejected. I can try to contact a subspace relay station and see if they've been changed... [18:31] E> ::nods:: [18:31] ::leans over Tempus' shoulder, frowning:: What is it? [18:31] ::frowns:: Can you get a reading on the beacons themselves? Perhaps they are disabled by some after affect of the anomoly? [18:32] confirmed sir.The closest beacon is rejecting our sign - in code. Im attempting some of the more distant ones. [18:32] M> ::laughs once out loud, at Cavanaugh's statement, but still enters his office:: [18:32] E> We should be good to go with warp power, maam. [18:32] ::looks up at the Captain:: If I dinna know any better... by the rotation of the stars and everything else... [18:32] Duty Officer> FB> ::turns around:: Seems things are returning to normal. Looks like you can pull them back for regular duty [18:32] no good, sirs. Still no results. [18:32] M> ::reads the information and frowns slightly:: [18:32] ::listens attentivly to the Science report...:: [18:32] E> ::looks at the status screens and nods:: [18:32] reports say that our registry is apparently out-dated [18:32] M>::to doctor:: May I have a moment, sir? [18:32] Commander Dejat, can you do an astrological comparison? Are we in the correct time? [18:32] M> ::stares at the empty hypospray and looks at Tlaloco:: What goes in here? ::frows towards Dalton's office:: [18:33] <> [18:33] ::kills the ship's acceleration and lets it coast, turning around to watch what's happening, and then finds himself turned around again after being queried:: [18:33] based on that, i believe that perhaps we're out of synch with our timestream, or some distance in the future. [18:33] <> [18:33] ::runs a quick-and-dirty scan:: Looks like everything's okay.. [18:33] M> Is it time for your fix already? [18:33] ::steps back to his seat and sits down with a puzzled look on his face:: [18:33] M> something is very wrong with Doctor [18:33] E> +taps+ Oswald to Dejat you can use the warp drive now... [18:33] ::is quiet since everywhere else seems to have had the same idea:: [18:33] Navigational sensors don't seem to indicate a problem. [18:33] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:33] ::glances over his shoulder at Savant:: How can that be, if navigational sensors say we're in the right place? [18:33] * Savant smiles at Bentall and Lora, "Sirs, perhaps i shoudl attempt to break into the timebeacon through less orthodox means?" [18:33] +taps+ Thank you, my dear. Much oblidged. [18:33] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:33] FB> ::nods and heads back out searching for the Chief Tech:: [18:33] M>::To Cavanaugh:: don't ask, don't tell. [18:33] <> [18:33] the vagaries of time and space are many, sir. [18:33] ::turns to Tempus:: Finish your sentence, Ensign. Where are we? [18:34] ::glances at the Captain:: Savant may have an idea there sir. [18:34] M> ::looks at Petrovna: Yes. A case of wussies. Do any of you know how to use this? ::he holds out the hypospray:: [18:34] ::pauses a second, then nods toward Savant:: Do it. [18:34] M>As a quack, it is my profession opinion that something's wrong, doctor. [18:34] Aye sir. Excuse me one moment. [18:34] M> ::orders a cup of tea from his replicator, and sips it, trying to calm himself:: [18:34] =.\ction= Meanwhile, down in Sickbay, Aldur is scanning as a normal human. He hasn't shown any further signs of glowing or regaining consciousness. [18:34] Give or take, based on what I cahn tell... twenty five years or so in tha future [18:35] ::spins back around again to watch what's happening:: I've about had my fill of alternate dimensions. [18:35] M> Da...::moves over to Cavanaugh:: [18:35] E> ::contuinues checking systems on the panel:: [18:35] * Savant disappears with a fizzling sound, only sparks of light left eventually to swirl abou the ground, adn then nothing [18:35] ::raises a brow:: Twenty five in the future? [18:35] M> Well, as a quack, you are a very good quack. [18:35] Could the timeship have misinterpereted our own time and returned us to the incorrect one? [18:35] *** Protios-Drin (parka@id-30035.ath.bellsouth.net) has joined #uss- coronado [18:35] ::frowns:: Check sensor logs, Ensign. Find out how we got here.

I'd get you a pulque, but I don't know how you feel about fermented cactus juice. [18:35] * Savant transfers over to the subspace transcievers and begins to work on breaking into the time beacon [18:36] M> ::gives Tlaloco a look over his teacup:: Well, it's fermented. It can't smell very nice. [18:36] FB> ::spots the Chief tech and heads over to him:: You can start getting everyone back. Get the fighters prepped just in case. [18:36] M> ::regains his coolness, his face gone blank:: Here. ::he hands the hypospray to Petrovna and moves over to Dalton's officer, muttering:: I hate this psychologist gig. Doctor, could you please come out and *help*? [18:36] ::watches the LORASON pulses return:: Captain, I'm picking up a ship traveling at slipstream velocity... ::checks the data further:: ... [18:36] M>It is said... that behind anger is fear. [18:36] Identity of the ship Mr. Daren? [18:36] M> ::stops for a moment, then sits on the edge of his desk nearest the door:: What is it you want? I'm not going to ... ::looks over at Cavanaugh:: [18:37] * Savant reappears on the bridge, though as only a ghost, Savant was far too busy to summon a more realistic avatar [18:37] ::checking the logs quickly:: The anomaly was apparantly a wormhole connection to this point... we were pushed inta it, and came out here [18:37] Chief Tech> FB> ::nods:: Orders were to keep them locked down, Sir. [18:37] Its on a direct intercept course with us...ETA 4 minutes... ::checking identity signals:: [18:37] M> Mr. Cavanaugh, surely your four years of medical schooling -- ::looks at Tlaloco:: What are you talking about? [18:37] M> ::takes the hypo and looks at Cavanaugh:: [18:37] M> You got plan? [18:37] Recommend going to Yellow -- Alert Captain. [18:37] captain. I am having some difficulty [18:37] M> ::moves out of the office and past Cavanaugh, over to Aldur's bedside:: [18:37] M>It is further said, that all fear is based on the fact that everything we see will pass away. [18:37] ::mutters slightly:: Why do I get the feeling that we're about to meet ourselves? [18:37] * Savant flickers, little more than a glassy, dissolved image of herself [18:37] M> ::answers Dalton with perfect impassiveness, watching him and exit and trailing behind:: Good. So you're going to do... your thing? [18:38] ::frowns:: I've a feeling you might be right. Mr. Daren, hail the inbound vessel. [18:38] M> I'll keep that in mind, reverend. ::to Petrovna:: What's in that hypospray, and how many cc's? [18:38] ::shares a meaningful look with Ironside:: I hate time- travel too. ::turns back around to his console:: [18:38] The mass and signature of the vessel indicates it is Starfleet in design, Commander. [18:38] The time beacon is extremely well defended by anti-intrusion protocols. Far more than modern day coding techniques. The civillian band is even blocked off. [18:38] Computer bring us to Yellow Alert. [18:38] =.\ction= The automatic alert warning sounds as the ship's alert status changes to yellow . [18:38] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:38] M> ::looks at Petrovna:: what did you find out, if I may, ma'am. [18:38] ::turns to Savant:: That's odd. [18:38] Aye Captain, ::opens hailing freequency:: Channel Open... [18:38] ::shrinks back into the corner, having gotten his degree in temporal physics:: [18:38] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:38] * Savant nods in agreement, the forms about her distorting [18:38] indeed [18:38] should i continue, sir? [18:38] M> ::looks at the hypo:: Nemoral...about 7 cc's [18:39] M> Let's make it 3 ... I know it won't have much effect, but he's already received enough drugs to wake a Tarkelian horse. [18:39] FB> ::nods:: You are correct but I want to be ready in case we are needed. ::grins evilly:: Sort of locked down but on alert if you get my drift. [18:39] =.\ction= Bentall appears in the holographic tank. He is wearing Captain's pips. "Coronado, I don't have time to explain, but recommend that you raise shields and go to red alert immediately. Hold position until we get there." [18:39] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:39] ::sighs:: Typical. [18:39] M>::raises a tricorder in the direction of the doc:: [18:39] ::raises his eyebrows slightly and glances at Bentall:: [18:39] * Savant s avatar blinks, getting mroe solid [18:39] What the-? ::is astonished:: [18:39] ::looks from the tank to Bentall and back:: [18:40] Battle stations. Launch a fighter CAP. [18:40] =.\ction= The automatic klaxon sounds as the ship's alert status changes to red . [18:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:40] ::is stunned to see himself in the tank with captains pips...., sits down heavily in his chair:: [18:40] ::raises shields and powers all weapon systems:: [18:40] =.\ction= The Coronado's shields activate! [18:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:40] M> Da Sir ::removes the cartridge and places the exact amount in the hypo:: [18:40] * Savant swiftly reappears sa the red alert protocol restricts the activity of the transcievers [18:40] ::looks back at the tank and shakes his head, muttering to himself again:: The last delta imperative sure was never this confusing... [18:40] * Savant reasserts herself completely with a snapping sound [18:40] *** LMSL_Wayne (wisher1126@id-24291.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [18:40] ::nods at Petrovna:: Go ahead and inject him with it, let's see what happens.

[18:40] +taps+ Bridge to Flight Deck. Prep fighters for launch. [18:40] M>::seerene attitude changes to one of buisness:: +taps+ Adam, get those swabees up for this red! I want double speed! THis is no drill, you landlubber! [18:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:40] =Description= The incoming ship appears in the holographic tank. <> [18:40] E> ::looks up as the red alert goes off:: Here we go again! ::mubbles to myself:: [18:41] Oh, I'm half-expecting to find our that I'm dead, Colonel. [18:41] FB> ::growls:: Well there is your answer ::starts to head for his fighter:: [18:41] ::shakes his head:: Ok, now I'm confused.... Was that just me talking to us? [18:41] M> ::turns around and gives Cavanaugh a look:: ENSIGN Cavanaugh ... I have no intention of jeopardizing myself on a fool's errand by ... ::looks up suddenly:: [18:41] Looked like you. Sounded like you. [18:41] aye sir, it was. Similar heat signatures and brain patterns. [18:41] Commander Dejat, stand by evasives. Commander Daren, full sweep of the area. [18:41] But a much older me. [18:41] and fingerprints. [18:41] ::nods:: [18:42] ::paces toward the tank and looks at the other ship:: It looks like our Coro... but just a little different. Upgraded? [18:42] Aye ::beginng full tactical sensor scan:: [18:42] M> ::folds his arms and watches Dalton:: DOCTOR Dalton, I was under the impression that real doctors took risks. For the sake of others. [18:42] Twenty-five years...it stands to reason, Captain. [18:42] FB> S03> ::climbs aboard:: +taps+ Flight Ops, we are quick load weapons and give me okay to launch [18:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:42] M>+Taps+ Tlaloco to bridge. Commander Bentall, the crewmen are at their battle stations. [18:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:42] That, or we've also jumped dimensions.... [18:42] i would bet on the former, sir. [18:42] If we really are 25 years in the future then an upgrade would stand to reason. +taps+ Acknowledged Chief, stand by. [18:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:42] ::considers the ship:: It's flatter. [18:43] ::checks sensor readout:: I'm not detecting any hostile vessels of any kind, Captain... [18:43] M> Well well ... I've often said the impressions of many tactical officers are about as intelligent as the quantum theory turned out by a monkey. [18:43] M>+Taps+ acknowledged. Tlaloco out. [18:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:43] be warned, sirs, in thi amount of time there are most probably cloaking devices sufficient to hide them from us [18:43] Armament looks about the same, but phaser outputs would've improved considerably in 25 years. [18:43] Are we to assume that ship was being chased by something or someone? [18:43] Tachyon sweep, Mr. Daren...we might be encountering cloaked hostile vessels... [18:43] M> ::nods and moves over, placing the hypo against the visitor's neck, hearing the soft hiss:: [18:43] ::nods:: You're right, Savant. Commander Dejat, let's start moving now. Impulse only, nothing fancy. Just keep us mobile. [18:43] FB> F03> ::hits the throttles and cold starts the engines as quantums are loaded:: +taps+ T-Cat Lead we are ready for launch. Permission to launch now. [18:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:44] ::nods:: AYe sir ::generating tachyon pulse scan:: [18:44] M>Ensign Cavanaugh, sir, if I may, the watchword here is caution. We cannot know what we are dealing with. [18:44] * Savant smiles serenely [18:44] ::nods and begins accelerating slightly again:: [18:44] M>With all due respect, sir. [18:44] rather unusual that a computer and biological lifeform could think upon such similar lines [18:44] M> ::looks at the console:: Sir! he is showing shocking...erm...signs of shock! [18:44] M> Shock? [18:44] E> ::starts level 3 diagnostic on warp propulsion system:: [18:44] ::rises and begins pacing back and forth trying to understand seeing himself in the tank:: [18:44] +taps+ Wait one, T-Cats. We don't want to lose you if we jump times again...standby. [18:44] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:44] =.\ction= The other ship drops to impulse and heads for Coro... it is indeed a future Coronado, still NCC-97901, so apparently an upgrade of some kind. [18:44] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [18:44] M> ::looks at the bioreadings, then takes Tlaloco's medical tricorder and uses it:: [18:45] M> ::mumbles as he english gets worse when she is flustered:: [18:45] scanning the incoming vessel sir [18:45] M> Is that so? ::doesn't look angry; in fact, he seems perfectly calm:: I guess I was wrong, then. ::shrugs:: Real doctors would rather turn their backs on their duty like cowards. Gotcha. [18:45] Confirmed, it is the coronado. [18:45] =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently: Red Alert .
