: : Ok first the sim is going nicely and there is enough for everyone to do. So if your not heavily involved then find a way into the action. Second posting is slower than needs to be. I want to see the sim pick up speed and the best way that is accomplished is through posting. Justin is LOA right now and the board now reflects that. However he has stepped down as the CNS due to a busier schedule. So that now means we need a CNS and a CE. The latter is notoriously hard to come by in STF but it would just tickle me pink if someone knew of a candidate before I go on a STF wide hunt. As for the CNS we can survive for now but need one by the next sim at the latest.
: :
: : So lets kick up the sim and get it moving. I am going to be looking for that CE but anyone who can help will be much appreciated. We went from a very full roster to a less so one. STF ebbs and flows but lets get back on High Tide and get some crew in here and post while we wait.

: : The two looked at each other then back to Parker. "We kinda figured that one out. At the moment of the explosion we were sure the ship was a gonner. And must have been on top of that rift to get bounced here. Which was why we were so surprised to see your ship there without a scratch."
: :
: : "The aliens there played posturing. Just swam back and forth taunting us. What we didn't know at the time was they were bringing up their ramship. Big bastard. Shot it out of the cloud with a hit to their engines and she rammed the old General. The old man must have seen it coming because he tried to dodge. We were flying in close and so had to move fast too. Everything happened so fast then and then suddenly we were here in front of you."
: :
: : The second pilot added. "They just came out of nowhere. Appeared one day. Outpost says that they had skirmishes with them but they never talked back. Only shot."
: :
: : Pilots
: : :
: : : OOC: Yea Im kinda going back and forth on the return to the Olinski idea.
: : :
: : : The Captain weighed the options. A return to the Olinski might be a good idea but right now ship to ship beaming was a risk as seen with the recent transporting issues. However they were not currently in the middle of spatial tendril so it was probably safe. It was as always. One thing to be weighed against another. So he decided the only thing he could decide.
: : :
: : : "Commander Thorne assist the Outpost as needed. Im beaming to the Olinski." He said.
: : :
: : : =^= Olinski this is the Captain. Beam me directly to the Bridge. The Commander is staying on the Outpost for now.=^=

:
: "Commodore, I suggest you send these two out for reconnaissance. Their ships are small enough that perhaps they can evade the aliens weapons and provide some intel for us." She looked over at the pilots again. "Although I wouldn't hesitate to fire on them if need be." She nodded toward the viewscreen, indicating the alien ships.
:
: Their positions had changed in the last moment or two and Shirazi examined the new configuration. "Does it look like they're trying to get here---to the station?"
:
: ---Thorne

Xin looked at the alien ships. "Tactically it would in a battle behoove the attackers to take out the direct opposition. That would be the ships. Our position is tenuous with limited protection. You are more formidable; I would assault the ships. Yet, without the Station, there is little reason for the ships to be here, hence taking care of the same end, simply different means."

"Are you a pilot, Commander? I wonder if you would be more suited to direct action than being here." He smiled. "That is not an order, nor a desire to be rid of you, simply an offering. However, yes," he turned to the pilots. "You have a go to recon and engage if there is any hostile intent - that being under your interpretation. Go now." The two turned and went out the door.

Meanwhile the large vessel beyond the buoys changed course. It appeared to be set on a new course somewhere between the Olinski and the Station. It was a guess as to where it was heading.

The hails at first did nothing. Then a reply came. It was a squealing mass of sounds that was not unlike that of nail on a chalkboard, though they did seem to have coherence. Mirri would think there was a message in there, repeating every ten seconds.

He would see as well, the large vessel turning course to be approaching between the outpost and the Olinski. Their time for breaching the buoy lines was inside of two minutes.

Battle Bridge Olinski II on USS Brian A. Olinski

: : : : : : Snip
: : : : : : : : : "Scanning," He scowled, Kolar would normally suggest withdrawing from the field and using its superior firepower and fighter support in the open where it had the advantage, but he couldn't risk pulling away from the rift.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : "Anomolies on the screen... as they occur." He immediately was able to program the required request. He glanced at the cloud, it was impossible to create enough particles to flood an area of space, but since one areadly existed. He didn't need to... a cloaked ship couldn't easily be detected but cloaked or not a ship moving through a cloud displaced particles and displaced particles could be detected.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : "Also put up any atypical Delta Vee motion of cloud particles..."
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Kolar
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : The ionic lightning aided, and the cloud particle motion supplemented the sensor identities. It became evident to Kolar that the people who had lived in the cloud was able to accommodate to that with their cloak. However, this was to the general particulates, but not ones displaced and moving due to the ionic activity that pushed particles into more denser waves - at least on the larger ones. Between the two methods the display became more clear.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : There were 12 vessels moving about. They were yet out of phaser range, though were within torpedo range. Their courses were evasive though fluid and could be tactically plotted to an 83% probability rate. The uncertainty was how the ionic discharges would affect the torpedoes. The question was what were they waiting for?
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "We have targets, but they are out of phaser range. Torpedoes could be launched.. but that would reveal our tracking and possibily precipitate another attack. At this time, every moment gives damage control more time to repair." And Kelm more time to beam our crew off. "Unless they are waiting for reinforcement, time is on our side."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Kolar still had too little information. He searched the data base on the attacking ships.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Balfor
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "Commander, have you ever separated the ship's sections? I've heard that can be done." The changeling looked at him. "I'm a marine on a Outpost. I can fight a good fight but I don't know exactly what this ship can do. If we can separate then that is two ships rather than one."
: : : : : :
: : : : : "I'm not certain that is prudent. We have extensive damage. We've lost the primary bridge, most of our command crew and require the bouys to be safe lessening the maneuvering ability of a secondary warship. I could assume tactical duties if that would make you more comfortable. " not that there was any chance that would happen. He glanced at the vents... all still closed.
: : : :
: : : : "We have limited maneuverability in this area of space, as you must know." His voice was gruff, though agreeable. "What of the buoys?"
: : : : :
: : : : : : There was really nothing on the attacking ships. Only brief notations of sightings that the Outpost had previously. Tactically there was little there. The largest sighting was when a large, barbed vessel emerged from the cloud and collided with the Olinski. Just prior to that three of these other vessels, escorts to the larger had darted about in combat, though was beaten back. The engagement was brief, the Olinski's fighter screen exceeding the maneuverability of the smaller vessels and harassing them. It was only when the larger vessel came in and collided with the Olinski and the resultant explosion decimated the fighters that the then two surviving alien ships retreated.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Scans showed, limited as they were, that they had organic architecture to them, and their weapons were plasma in nature.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "We have no reinforcements coming. But we do have the buoys that can act as a minefield if necessary. Bring them in tighter," he said to Balfor.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : :
: : : : : He frowned. Kolar had no interest in moving the bouys or blowing them up. That might effect the rift. "I coulg set up a program that would make them thrust towards targets so we dont have move them quite yet and tip our hand."
: : : : :
: : : : : Kolar
: : : :
: : : : "See what happens when you expand the bubble we are in. How far out can that go before we lose the integrity of the buoys and begin to be affected by the lightning?" Leaning in he tapped his chin with his finger. "And what would happen with those ships .."
: : : :
: : : : Wookiee
: : : :
: : : "The buoys have a mark 3 generator which max output should be able to increase the field size by 22%... theoretically. I will have to move the bouys in a very precise pattern. Wait one.” Kolar started the computer program. He would whatever buoys were necessary aside from the ones around the rift, which he would keep unchanged in both power and location. He would also keep a close eye on the rift.
: : :
: : : "Executing"
: : :
: : : Kolar
: :
: : "That there," the major said. "What is that?" He was referring to the rift that appeared as a hazy mass on the sensors not unlike a slowly flowing amoeba.
:
: Kolar opened his mouth to spout some sort of dishonesty since he knew way more about the rift then his counterpart would. But he was rescued as,
: :
: : Just then, the alien ships, in the expanding buoy pattern sought to slip in between them. Outside of the cloud they were more visible. They were angular, their hulls not clean like most vessels but off shape and not symmetrical, with ridges and hooks that caused the hull to bristle as though with ancient polearms.
: :
: : The nearest buoys fired on them, several beams criss crossing to move from one target to another. Kolar would detect that the shields on them absorbed the attacks, though weakened them. They made for the Olinski, strafing her with a plasmic beam weapon causing the ship to shake under the combined assaults, lowering the shields to 58%. Then they were past .. ignoring the damaged warship and moving on toward the Station.
:
: "Target 3a, hit, shields, 82%. Target 1b, hit, shields, 91%, Target 3a hit again shields 70%... They're past us..."
: :
: : "Return fire!" the major called out. Striking from the rear with no move to evade one of the ships blew up under the assault, one other showing an internal detonation that blew out part of it's hull, venting fire and atmosphere, though it kept going.
: :
: : Wookiee
:
: "3a destroyed," Kolar frowned. Combat was counterproductive. "We should close to the station and bring everything into a tight net... It would be too strong of a position to assualt and we could put the fighters on missile intercept." Anything to calm this mess down he wanted and needed time...
:
:
:
: Kolar

"Inform the transports to tighten up to be a shield to the Outpost. Bring us closer to keep targets in range. Torpedoes fire at will. If there is any way we can do it, Kolar, change the nearest buoys into mines to collide with the ships." He turned. "But what about that anomaly? I've seen something like that before. It looks familiar. It reminds me of a wormhole."

The larger of the vessels, still crawling by comparison in speed, angled toward the Station.

She said "I want to know what they are so I can add them to my list of most hated creatures."
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : CAG
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : =^= Affirmative =^= came the response.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : One held up a military tricorder. While perhaps not any more powerful, it was reinforced to take more beatings. "Got some decent scans," he said. Another held up a bag with bug guts in it. "Samples here too." The bag, transparent, was full of jellied parts with outlines of more intact organs and outer parts. "Not sure if we can stuff them though for your wall, Lt," he said with a curl of his lip.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : The sound from beyond the door faded after several seconds. The light above the door after a minute turned from red to green indicating safety in entering.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Toro looked at the marine "You're funny." She said as she watched the light turn from red to green "Let's sweep the bay and make sure we've cleared the ship of those damn bugs." She said "I need a shower." Toro muttered as she raised her rifle and headed back into the flight deck. "Let's get this cleared."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : CAG
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : The marine gave a quick shrug. "Bet nobody else would have one of them on their wall." The doors opened and a wash of cool air swept over them; the compensators yet working to bring the temperature to normal.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : As a group of marines swept around the bay, they could detect only six more of the critters clinging in internal regions of old equipment.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : OOC: You can narrate a nuking of the six as you like there as they aren't going anywhere to flee. .. Gene
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Toro looked at the Marine "If you can put it back together. Get it mounted and I'll hang it on my wall." She said "Damn spider like things." She said "I see six life signs still in here. They are hanging onto the internal parts of these old buckets. Let's clean up house." She said as she moved into the bay and found one of the bugs and shot it. She let the others continue their search and finally all the bugs seemed to be gone. One of the marines managed to get one that didn't explode and put it in another bag for further examination by the science folks.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Toro hit her comm badge =^=CAG to Bridge. Bugs are gone. Flight deck is clear.=^= She said as she leaned against one of the ships suddenly tired. =^=Let Science know we have some creepy crawlies for them to look at.=^=
: : : : : :
: : : : : : CAG
: : : : :
: : : : : Toro walked back over to the opened container and looked at it more closely for signs of what had happened. She headed back toward where the body was, she had no idea if it was still there, probably not since they had vented the bay. She had to check, she wanted to identify the man so that she could at least notify the captain so that his next of kin could be notified. She was hesitant to go back though as she didn't really want to get splattered again.
: : : : :
: : : : : She suddenly realized that she was still covered in blood and bits of flesh. She didn't even know if she had any injuries of her own not that it mattered at this point. She was going to go to Sickbay so that they could at least get a DNA sample and identify him that way if he wasn't still in the bay.
: : : : :
: : : : : CAG
: : : :
: : : : The large items were adhered to a degree to the deck or storage units so they were intact with only small things having been moved about with the depressurization. With all the little things gone the deck almost looked cleansed. Almost. The man was indeed gone, taken out into space. The only thing remaining was the tendrils of webbing that were adhered to the fighter or container.
: : : :
: : : : Wookiee
: : :
: : : Toro heard the ship go to yellow alert "Oh hell. So much for getting a shower." She muttered to herself. She dropped her weapon into a locker, touched her comm badge =^=Flight crew to flight deck for possible launch. FLight crew to flight deck for possible launch.=^= She said as she turned and headed to get into her flight suit. At least it was relatively clean compared to this uniform.
: : :
: : : She looked at the Marines "Secure this deck and check with the Bridge where else they need you." She said taking command of their ranks since their CO was currently out of commission. A few moments later, she returned to the flight deck in her flight suit and climbed into Red 1 to begin pre launch check list. Her crew chief came up "She's ready to go Lt. We've got Red 2 and 3 ready to go as well as Green 1 and Green 2 is on standby."
: : :
: : : Toro nodded "Okay." She touched her comm badge =^=Toro to the Bridge....we're ready for launch if you need us.=^= She said this was turning into one very long day and she just really wanted to take a shower and wash the goo off of her.
: : :
: : : CAG
: :
: : Toro sat tight, she figured it they were at yellow alert things weren't horrible but they weren't great. She'd give the bridge a few more minutes to let her know what was going on before she contacted them again to let them know of the fighter wing's status.
: :

: The Captains voice came over her com.
:
: =^= =^=Toro standby to launch. IF we send you out that means we are under attack and you are to go hot and acquire targets.=^=
:
: Parker (CO)

=^=Understood Captain. I'll be coming to the Bridge. We have Red 2, 3 and 4 ready for launch. I'll handle coordination from the Bridge.=^= She said as she gave orders to her pilots to go in hot if they were launched. She tossed her helmet to the flight chief and headed to the bridge still covered in exploding crewman and looking cranky that her fighter bay had been invaded by bugs.

"Good to have you on Tac Lt. Toro." He said as she took her station. "If an attack comes launch without orders. Im hoping we all are wrong and these might be friendlies."

"Helm be prepared to take an evasive maneuver. We have info from the Alt Universe that they were attacked in a very similar way but with a ship that came out of the cloud and rammed them. We cant be certain that this will happen but I want to be ready, because we have all seen the other Olinski and we will not suffer that fate." He said with conviction. "And we have to know what that com is saying. It might be the difference between life and death."

"Also science I want contact with the other Olinski. I dont care if its through a probe or a tin can but I want to talk to whoever is in command over there. I get the feeling it will help us. Plus I want my people back." He ordered the NE at science.

: : : : : : : Snip
: : : : : : : : : : "Scanning," He scowled, Kolar would normally suggest withdrawing from the field and using its superior firepower and fighter support in the open where it had the advantage, but he couldn't risk pulling away from the rift.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : "Anomolies on the screen... as they occur." He immediately was able to program the required request. He glanced at the cloud, it was impossible to create enough particles to flood an area of space, but since one areadly existed. He didn't need to... a cloaked ship couldn't easily be detected but cloaked or not a ship moving through a cloud displaced particles and displaced particles could be detected.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : "Also put up any atypical Delta Vee motion of cloud particles..."
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Kolar
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : The ionic lightning aided, and the cloud particle motion supplemented the sensor identities. It became evident to Kolar that the people who had lived in the cloud was able to accommodate to that with their cloak. However, this was to the general particulates, but not ones displaced and moving due to the ionic activity that pushed particles into more denser waves - at least on the larger ones. Between the two methods the display became more clear.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : There were 12 vessels moving about. They were yet out of phaser range, though were within torpedo range. Their courses were evasive though fluid and could be tactically plotted to an 83% probability rate. The uncertainty was how the ionic discharges would affect the torpedoes. The question was what were they waiting for?
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : "We have targets, but they are out of phaser range. Torpedoes could be launched.. but that would reveal our tracking and possibily precipitate another attack. At this time, every moment gives damage control more time to repair." And Kelm more time to beam our crew off. "Unless they are waiting for reinforcement, time is on our side."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Kolar still had too little information. He searched the data base on the attacking ships.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Balfor
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Commander, have you ever separated the ship's sections? I've heard that can be done." The changeling looked at him. "I'm a marine on a Outpost. I can fight a good fight but I don't know exactly what this ship can do. If we can separate then that is two ships rather than one."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : "I'm not certain that is prudent. We have extensive damage. We've lost the primary bridge, most of our command crew and require the bouys to be safe lessening the maneuvering ability of a secondary warship. I could assume tactical duties if that would make you more comfortable. " not that there was any chance that would happen. He glanced at the vents... all still closed.
: : : : :
: : : : : "We have limited maneuverability in this area of space, as you must know." His voice was gruff, though agreeable. "What of the buoys?"
: : : : : :
: : : : : : : There was really nothing on the attacking ships. Only brief notations of sightings that the Outpost had previously. Tactically there was little there. The largest sighting was when a large, barbed vessel emerged from the cloud and collided with the Olinski. Just prior to that three of these other vessels, escorts to the larger had darted about in combat, though was beaten back. The engagement was brief, the Olinski's fighter screen exceeding the maneuverability of the smaller vessels and harassing them. It was only when the larger vessel came in and collided with the Olinski and the resultant explosion decimated the fighters that the then two surviving alien ships retreated.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Scans showed, limited as they were, that they had organic architecture to them, and their weapons were plasma in nature.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "We have no reinforcements coming. But we do have the buoys that can act as a minefield if necessary. Bring them in tighter," he said to Balfor.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : :
: : : : : : He frowned. Kolar had no interest in moving the bouys or blowing them up. That might effect the rift. "I coulg set up a program that would make them thrust towards targets so we dont have move them quite yet and tip our hand."
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Kolar
: : : : :
: : : : : "See what happens when you expand the bubble we are in. How far out can that go before we lose the integrity of the buoys and begin to be affected by the lightning?" Leaning in he tapped his chin with his finger. "And what would happen with those ships .."
: : : : :
: : : : : Wookiee
: : : : :
: : : : "The buoys have a mark 3 generator which max output should be able to increase the field size by 22%... theoretically. I will have to move the bouys in a very precise pattern. Wait one.” Kolar started the computer program. He would whatever buoys were necessary aside from the ones around the rift, which he would keep unchanged in both power and location. He would also keep a close eye on the rift.
: : : :
: : : : "Executing"
: : : :
: : : : Kolar
: : :
: : : "That there," the major said. "What is that?" He was referring to the rift that appeared as a hazy mass on the sensors not unlike a slowly flowing amoeba.
: :
: : Kolar opened his mouth to spout some sort of dishonesty since he knew way more about the rift then his counterpart would. But he was rescued as,
: : :
: : : Just then, the alien ships, in the expanding buoy pattern sought to slip in between them. Outside of the cloud they were more visible. They were angular, their hulls not clean like most vessels but off shape and not symmetrical, with ridges and hooks that caused the hull to bristle as though with ancient polearms.
: : :
: : : The nearest buoys fired on them, several beams criss crossing to move from one target to another. Kolar would detect that the shields on them absorbed the attacks, though weakened them. They made for the Olinski, strafing her with a plasmic beam weapon causing the ship to shake under the combined assaults, lowering the shields to 58%. Then they were past .. ignoring the damaged warship and moving on toward the Station.
: :
: : "Target 3a, hit, shields, 82%. Target 1b, hit, shields, 91%, Target 3a hit again shields 70%... They're past us..."
: : :
: : : "Return fire!" the major called out. Striking from the rear with no move to evade one of the ships blew up under the assault, one other showing an internal detonation that blew out part of it's hull, venting fire and atmosphere, though it kept going.
: : :
: : : Wookiee
: :
: : "3a destroyed," Kolar frowned. Combat was counterproductive. "We should close to the station and bring everything into a tight net... It would be too strong of a position to assualt and we could put the fighters on missile intercept." Anything to calm this mess down he wanted and needed time...
: :
: :
: :
: : Kolar
:
: "Inform the transports to tighten up to be a shield to the Outpost. Bring us closer to keep targets in range. Torpedoes fire at will. If there is any way we can do it, Kolar, change the nearest buoys into mines to collide with the ships." He turned. "But what about that anomaly? I've seen something like that before. It looks familiar. It reminds me of a wormhole."

Kolar sent out the orders via comm link.
:
: The larger of the vessels, still crawling by comparison in speed, angled toward the Station.
:
: Wookiee

"My hypothesis is it's an interspacial rift or a wormhole of some type. It has no tactical significance, no gravametric waves, no power surges... it may be increasing in size but at a slow rate that can be analyzed post combat. " Kolar started retasking the buoys, and doubling them up around the rift, but de activatign the projectors so the power levels around the rift remained constant. "The buoy's were not designed as torpedoes. They don't have the requiste acceleration to be effective for that task unless used en mass which would make the field unstable and the hositiles aren't approaching in such a manner that they would work as mines." The response had the extra value that it was true and served his purposes.

: : : : : : : : She laid her head to the side again and her blue eyes looked at his innocently "Is that humor or are you interested in an intimate relationship?" she asked with all seriousness. "I have read about those and would be very interested to explore them since the are unknown to my people on this material plain with a physical body."
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : - Oriah
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Well, well." Kolar replied his face darkened for a moment. In reality his probably was more prudish than the average human, but less so than bajorians. "I'm fairly certain your don't know exactly what you are offering beyond the physical act."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "It actually was mostly a joke, but I guess most jokes have an element of truth in them. As part of trying to be a good case study I will relate some information to you that most likely people wouldn't say openly."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "You are naive in terms of social protocol but most races have a mating ritual that may allow for social, ethical, emotional, intellectual, physical, and religious similarities to be noted and then become the be the basis of a good/strong relationship. At least that's what society wants couples to be based on .. In many cases, interpersonal, economic, and sexual reasons are why couples exist."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : He exhaled, "I have not been sexually active in... seven years." He nodded to himself. "And I think that's what spurred my 'joke', The second group of reasons... and frankly the less noble group."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "I am, not immodestly speaking, an intelligent man. I think a dark part of me divined that you would be, non-judgmental in this regard and take my 'joke' for an offer ... much like you did and you would want to know about sexuality, much like you do and while you learned about physical intimacy you could help me with... my ... for lack of a better word.. problem. Again this is more honesty than you are likely to get from most. In retrospect, perhaps, you should find someone with a little more... character... to make that generous or in this case experimental offer."
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Balfor Kolar
: : : : : :
: : : : : : OOC:very interesting...
: : : : :
: : : : : Oriah gave him a radiant smile, which made dimples appear on her fair skin and the red tattoo-like designs on her cheekbones moved upwards with it.
: : : : :
: : : : : "I agree that I am... naive in Human social protocol, since it mostly refers to the material plane and that is why everything physical is highly interesting to me, also it is one of my tasks to study it for my people.
: : : : : But apart from that I am quite experienced. We do have relationships, among my people. We even fall in love, although we call it differently. We prefer some characters over others, we like some peers more than others... just like Humans. And I can tell you that I do like you, your character and your intelligence a lot. More so than others on this ship. Which is why I think we should proceed with this... physical experiment. I am allowed to change form off duty when in my quarters. If you would join me there, I could not only help you go back in time, I could also take on any female physical form you would like. I could even go into your subconscious and take the form of woman that fulfills all of your deepest desires."
: : : : : and now her grin became a bit cheeky, or did he imagine that?
: : : : : "I'm sure that's an offer not many human men get." she said and gave him a deep look with her big blue eyes.
: : : : :
: : : : : - Oriah
: : : :
: : : : "Well that was unexpected." Kolar actually got a free pass, he was honest, she was certainly less innocent than he suspected, and somehow she was still interested.
: : : :
: : : : "I'm not a victim of unrequited love, although that would be romantic in a respect. I never was all that interested in women. I think at first I couldn’t get over what happened in the prison camp. Then it was getting into Star-Fleet and my career.” He sounded sad and distant for a moment. “Then I recognized I was alone.”
: : : :
: : : : Then just as quickly the tone was gone. “That being said, I would still enjoy to experience your offer.” Ironically he probably could do exactly what she offered on the holodeck, but she might know what he wanted more than he actually did.
: : : :
: : : : “In fact, I would welcome you to experiment to your heart’s content.”
: : : :
: : : : Balfor…
: : : :
: : : : OOC: It’s the quiet ones you have to worry about.
: : : OOC: Oh believe me, I know :)
: : : IC:

: : : Oriah nodded. "Very well, I will visit you this evening after the shift is over." she said, nodded and went back to work.
: : :
: : : - Time forward -
: : :
: : : Oriah stood in the corridor in front of Kolar's quarters and rang the chime. It was tiresome to her sometimes to stick to such clumsy things, but at the same time they humored her. Still, she was looking forward to let go of some of the restraints that had been put upon her and in that respect it was fortunate that her department head had shown such deep interest.
: : : Her rules said that she had to refrain from using her powers unless when alone in her quarters and off duty and if it was affecting only her, or in a situation where her life was in danger, or if a superior officer ordered her - in alignment with Human ethics and Starfleet protocol and Terran law.
: : : Kolar was her superior, and she was pretty sure he wouldn't ask her do do something unethical in Human terms.
: : :
: : : - Oriah
: :
: : Kolar stepped to the door and it opened automatically. He was always a little surprised about the brightness of the red in her hair and tattoo like markings. It was a little more than he would have picked if he could have chosen. Kolar was dressed comfortably in a grey robe like top and soft slack like pants. He smiled at her, he was normally a very calm person, so calm in fact it almost radiated off inspiring calm in others. A gift of the Prophets, a Kai once said. She also said that the Prophets should give him something considering how much was taken from him and what he had done for Bajor. He wasn't quite as calm as he normally was.
: :
: : He reached out one hand and offered a red wine. "This is a Bajorian red from my home province." He took as sip of a similar glass in his other hand.
: :
: : "It is a synthetic representation which I've tinkered with for a while... its pretty close. I know you have no need for the liquid or the alcohol, but the sensation might be interesting to you... Not to mention the ritual will be informative and comforting."

: : : :

: : : :

Toro nodded "Understood Captain." She said as she sat down and began plotting and planning tactics. The dried blood was starting to annoy her but she had a job to do. She made sure that all of the pilots had their orders and they had their ships ready to go at her command.

: : : : "Return fire!" the major called out. Striking from the rear with no move to evade one of the ships blew up under the assault, one other showing an internal detonation that blew out part of it's hull, venting fire and atmosphere, though it kept going.
: : : :
: : : : Wookiee
: : :
: : : "3a destroyed," Kolar frowned. Combat was counterproductive. "We should close to the station and bring everything into a tight net... It would be too strong of a position to assualt and we could put the fighters on missile intercept." Anything to calm this mess down he wanted and needed time...
: : :
: : :
: : :
: : : Kolar
: :
: : "Inform the transports to tighten up to be a shield to the Outpost. Bring us closer to keep targets in range. Torpedoes fire at will. If there is any way we can do it, Kolar, change the nearest buoys into mines to collide with the ships." He turned. "But what about that anomaly? I've seen something like that before. It looks familiar. It reminds me of a wormhole."
:
: Kolar sent out the orders via comm link.
: :
: : The larger of the vessels, still crawling by comparison in speed, angled toward the Station.
: :
: : Wookiee
:
: "My hypothesis is it's an interspacial rift or a wormhole of some type. It has no tactical significance, no gravametric waves, no power surges... it may be increasing in size but at a slow rate that can be analyzed post combat. " Kolar started retasking the buoys, and doubling them up around the rift, but de activatign the projectors so the power levels around the rift remained constant. "The buoy's were not designed as torpedoes. They don't have the requiste acceleration to be effective for that task unless used en mass which would make the field unstable and the hositiles aren't approaching in such a manner that they would work as mines." The response had the extra value that it was true and served his purposes.
:
: Kolar

"Target the large craft with the buoys then. Quickly!" the changeling said. "Forget the smaller ships. All weapons to bear on that ship!" Weapons flared out from the ship and station, the transports attempting to move in, fired as well. The large alien ship was soon surrounded by clouds of detonations and fire, debris and vapor. "It's destroyed!" said a crewman on the helm.
"Wait for it," the changeling said. "Sensor reports!" Kolar would detect internal explosions within the cloud.

Moments later the ship emerged from the cloud. It was listing, out of control, it's stern swinging in a slow arc. The engines were gone, the port side gutted and on fire, though it's momentum was carrying it toward the station still. Kolar would detect it's mass to be huge as though it were packed with some dense material. "Destroy it!" the changeling shouted. "Too late!" the weapons station officer said, mesmerized, as the ship impacted first with a transport that cracked like an egg along it's domed top before exploding in a shower of debris. The stern, still swinging, impacting the station first on it's shields that flared with energy before disappearing, then onto the lower quarter of the station. The mass and momentum caused its hull to buckle. Power went out on the station, though sensors would show the power plant was overloading. Beginning at the base and working it's way upward tendrils of energy spiked along it's hull before escaping in small electrical arcs, a microcosm of the ionic discharges around them. Before their eyes the station disintegrated into a score of smaller explosions.

Heartbeats later .. someone coughed on the bridge. The smaller alien vessels turned to face the Olinski. "Kolar, get this ship through that anomaly. Bring all buoys you can in to cover our retreat." The ship shuddered under the impact of several hits. "Return fire as we move. All batteries!" An explosion was felt somewhere on the lower decks.

It was irritating, there was no doubt of that. The cleaning up cut down the squeal though much of it remained. Apparently that was their language per se, at least according to the computer which was struggling to translate this. It was certain that it was a short, repeating message, making translation difficult.
: : : :
: : : : Moments later, Toro walked onto the Bridge still covered in blood and gut and goo. She was not happy but she was on the Bridge and she fired up her console "I've got this. Go to the secondary station in CIC and keep feeding me any details that I'm missing out on here." She said to the JO.

Toro would see the approaching large vessel, illuminated by the sensor detections and it's horned, irregular surface, drawing close to the buoys. Clear from the cloud, it had an ochre, mottled hull. It adjusted course but just a bit to emerge between a trio of old buoys.

Mirri would get a communication from the Mammoth. =^= Orders? =^= It was short and concise, and a touch worried.

: : Toro nodded "Understood Captain." She said as she sat down and began plotting and planning tactics. The dried blood was starting to annoy her but she had a job to do. She made sure that all of the pilots had their orders and they had their ships ready to go at her command.

The computer translated, at least part of this. It came out as either 'Worth .. or Worthy' .. which word it was, or both was uncertain due to the limited sampling.

Six of the smaller 'escort' alien vessels began making an approach onto the buoys .. two per nearest buoy, a plasma torpedo from each approaching it. Two torpedoes were 'intercepted' by the ionic lightning, though the rest found their targets, obliterating the century old buoys.

Sickbay - Surgery on USS Brian A. Olinski

: : : : Posted by Gamemaster The Wookiee - Hear his Yawrl (Gamemaster) in Sickbay - Surgery
: : : : snip
: : : : : : : : : "All right," Rena's voice was tinged with urgency and authority. "I want low-priority patients - walking, talking, not in any immediate danger - sent back to their quarters, or either treated sufficiently so they can return to duty. Otherwise, utilise the reception. Medium priority, use the Lower Sickbay and Reception. I only want to see high priority patients in the Upper Sickbay." Although her mind was still running over Ollie's words, Rena quickly got irritated. How could she play detective? She had her patients to attend to, people dying. Surely that was the priority here, said the rational part of her brain. As she used an osteo-stim on a badly broken leg, something continued to niggle in the back of her mind...
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : CMO
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : There was some grumbling amongst the orderlies, however they didn't meet Rena's eyes as they pulled people up. There was a real mix of how the patients were treated. While not badly there was not much bedside manner here to speak of. However, it was effective as the lower priority patients were moved out first in a slowly flowing sea of humanity as things got sorted out that way. It at least gave Rena more 'room' to move and breathe here. One thing she did notice was that there were a great deal of injured who were dressed as marines than general crew. The other thing she noticed was the two 'men' whom the Commodore had sent over earlier rocking on their heels not far away. They looked nervous. "Um," one of them said, "how is your patient?" There seemed hope in their voice for success.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Randolph finally began to piece it all together. Something he had read about in his temporal mechanics course. He remembered reading about the "mirror universe" in a mission debrief from some other ship. Right now he was drawing a blank on which crew and in which year it had happened.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : He walked slowly to a wall terminal and asked the computer to display his service record and current location. He was hoping to get an insight into how the crew of this "mirror" ship may expect him to act. Also he was hoping that the computer wouldn't alert to the fact that he was in two places at once.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Then it dawned on him, if there were two of him, there were possibly two of Lt. Rogers also, and that could be all bad.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : -Ensign Randolph (security)
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : A male voice replied. =^= Randolph, James, Ensign. Squad leader: Blackthorn Squad. Commendation for quelling the food riots on Cestus Four with due diligence while yet a Cadet. Stationed on Olinski seven standard months ago. =^=
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : wookiee .. welcome back :)
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Out of the corner of Rena's eye she could see a man dressed in security garb moving about among the wounded. His back was to her most of the time but he was scanning and moving, unlike someone who was trying to render first aid.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : :
: : : : : "He is out of surgery, and stable. However, I have other matters to attend to." Rena answered sharply to the black coated men, curious about the security man. He evidently wasn't providing medical aid, so what was he doing? "Excuse me." Rena put authority in her voice. "What are you doing? These are my patients, under my jurisdiction."
: : : : :
: : : : : CMO
: :
: : At that moment Kelm would have a scan that showed a positive to his universe - that of Randolph, whom he would recognize, though at that moment Randolph was just heading out of sickbay.
: :
: : : :
: : : : OOC: Kelm, your move .. Gene
: : :
: : : James decided that it was time for him to get out of the immediate area, but not to leave the lieutenant to these unknown people. He had to come up with some way to keep in touch with her.
: : :
: : : =/\= Computer, notify me as soon as Lieutenant Rogers is completed with her treatment.=/\=
: :
: : =^= Request logged =^= the computer replied.
: : :
: : : James Made his way to the door and looked for a terminal just outside the door so that he could inquire from the computer in some form of private.
: : :
: : : -Ensign Randolph (security)
: :
: : Beyond the doors the Olinski here looked much like that of his own. Computer terminals were not a rarity and Randolph would be able to find one that he could use. While people were moving about there were few who paid any more attention to Randolph than a passing glance.
: :
: : Wookiee
:
: OOC: Just waiting for Kelm now. - Fran

The doors opened behind the doctor. The Counselor was being carried out between nurse and orderly. She looked weak and a synthetic bandage covered her neck. What other scrapes she had was covered or regenerated. "Doctor, she wanted to see what was happening."
"And the other? The pilot?" asked the other two men dressed in fatigues.
"In a coma. His vitals are failing. He's alive because of the machinery." They blanched.

The ship shuddered at this time, the lights flickering. The patients present all seemed to start talking at once, at least those who were conscious.

: : : : : "Return fire!" the major called out. Striking from the rear with no move to evade one of the ships blew up under the assault, one other showing an internal detonation that blew out part of it's hull, venting fire and atmosphere, though it kept going.
: : : : :
: : : : : Wookiee
: : : :
: : : : "3a destroyed," Kolar frowned. Combat was counterproductive. "We should close to the station and bring everything into a tight net... It would be too strong of a position to assualt and we could put the fighters on missile intercept." Anything to calm this mess down he wanted and needed time...
: : : :
: : : :
: : : :
: : : : Kolar
: : :
: : : "Inform the transports to tighten up to be a shield to the Outpost. Bring us closer to keep targets in range. Torpedoes fire at will. If there is any way we can do it, Kolar, change the nearest buoys into mines to collide with the ships." He turned. "But what about that anomaly? I've seen something like that before. It looks familiar. It reminds me of a wormhole."
: :
: : Kolar sent out the orders via comm link.
: : :
: : : The larger of the vessels, still crawling by comparison in speed, angled toward the Station.
: : :
: : : Wookiee
: :
: : "My hypothesis is it's an interspacial rift or a wormhole of some type. It has no tactical significance, no gravametric waves, no power surges... it may be increasing in size but at a slow rate that can be analyzed post combat. " Kolar started retasking the buoys, and doubling them up around the rift, but de activatign the projectors so the power levels around the rift remained constant. "The buoy's were not designed as torpedoes. They don't have the requiste acceleration to be effective for that task unless used en mass which would make the field unstable and the hositiles aren't approaching in such a manner that they would work as mines." The response had the extra value that it was true and served his purposes.
: :
: : Kolar
:
: "Target the large craft with the buoys then. Quickly!" the changeling said. "Forget the smaller ships. All weapons to bear on that ship!" Weapons flared out from the ship and station, the transports attempting to move in, fired as well. The large alien ship was soon surrounded by clouds of detonations and fire, debris and vapor. "It's destroyed!" said a crewman on the helm.

Kolar reluctantly deployed the nearest buoys to full effect. He couldn't rescue his crewmates, or be rescued if they were dead.

: "Wait for it," the changeling said. "Sensor reports!" Kolar would detect internal explosions within the cloud.

"Multiple detonations, Stablization thrusters on the main vessel non-operatinoal, hull breaches... She's on a collision course with the station." Kolar continued to scan. "She's a kamakazi, over dense for its volume, it could be an explosive or just mass for weaponization purposes."

: Moments later the ship emerged from the cloud. It was listing, out of control, it's stern swinging in a slow arc. The engines were gone, the port side gutted and on fire, though it's momentum was carrying it toward the station still. Kolar would detect it's mass to be huge as though it were packed with some dense material. "Destroy it!" the changeling shouted. "Too late!" the weapons station officer said, mesmerized, as the ship impacted first with a transport that cracked like an egg along it's domed top before exploding in a shower of debris. The stern, still swinging, impacting the station first on it's shields that flared with energy before disappearing, then onto the lower quarter of the station. The mass and momentum caused its hull to buckle. Power went out on the station, though sensors would show the power plant was overloading. Beginning at the base and working it's way upward tendrils of energy spiked along it's hull before escaping in small electrical arcs, a microcosm of the ionic discharges around them. Before their eyes the station disintegrated into a score of smaller explosions.
:
: Heartbeats later .. someone coughed on the bridge. The smaller alien vessels turned to face the Olinski. "Kolar, get this ship through that anomaly. Bring all buoys you can in to cover our retreat." The ship shuddered under the impact of several hits. "Return fire as we move. All batteries!" An explosion was felt somewhere on the lower decks.
:
: Wookiee

"Helm, bring us to heading 114 mark 21, two thirds impusle...:Kolar set the course and set up the buoys as directed. "The wormhole's terminous is unknown we could end up next to a black hole or thrown across time and space."

As the ship rotated and became oriented to the rift. "010 mark 7. Full impulse."

The skin of the vessel was in part biological and part mechanical, a kind of meshing of the two. The barbs were weapon hardpoints, though they only faced forward and so were limited. While the number of hardpoints were easily a full score with a probability that they were likened to the plasma weapons that the smaller ships had, they were currently not powered. It was the mass of the vessel that was most irregular; it was massively dense for its size. The engines at the rear were primarily impulse and large and running hot as they accelerated the large vessel slowly. It had shields up.

At this moment there was a disruption around the center of the tear in space. Mirri's scans would show that the tendrils drew back almost to the event horizon of the tear. On scans it would show to be straining as though it was reluctant to allow something through. But then it tore and a ship emerged from it. It was the Olinski, though it was not theirs. Virtually identical, the top six decks of the ship had been ripped off by some explosion. Signs of fire had blackened the decks and hull around it. The drive section had a fresh 'wound' in it's side that showed some kind of weapon impact or something larger. Energy crackled across it's shields as it escaped through the rift. Phaser and torpedo fire lanced out from the underside of the other Olinski firing through the rift. Mirri would see that with each fire the rift closed into itself just a little bit more.

The ship was sluggish but it moved toward the rift. As they approached the entry of the rift space became turbulent and shook the ship. As it touched the 'skin' of the rift the ship suddenly felt like it was caught by some giant hand. It lost speed and the inertial compensators strained to make up the shortfall. Crew were wrenched forward, Kolar with it, though his momentum was stalled by a hand that caught him - the elongated changeling hand of the major. Still the ship shook and suddenly it gave way, punching through the rift into the other universe. The crew was again jolted from this, only in the other way, the computer still firing at the targets beyond, the whole vessel sluggish.

: I'm so sorry!!! The last few days have been truly hectic. I am on the road, moving across country. I thought I would be able to keep within AWOL limits, but looks like I failed. I will be arriving at my new home late today so I should be back online tomorrow.
:
: Thanks,
: D...

No big deal. Take your time. I have been swamped with work myself so its all just one of those weeks I suppose.

: : : : : : : : : : : : In a sparkle of a transporter effect, the captain formed on the bridge.
: : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : He materialized and then walked toward his chair while speaking.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Mirri nodded "Welcome back and she gave him a quick update on what was going on "Toro is ready to launch, bugs are gone, bouys are ready to deploy with the help of our science department." She said rapidly.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "Red Alert, Weapons to maximum. Program torpedos for wide spread, multiple targets." He said as he made it to his chair.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Mirri took the ship to red alert.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : "Lt. Thank you for holding down the ship. Good job.Lt. Lawrence hail them in all languages and formats. Tell them to stand down so we can communicate with them. Tactical standby on firing. " He issued his orders.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : =^=Toro standby to launch. IF we send you out that means we are under attack and you are to go hot and acquire targets.=^=
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Toro's response was quick =^=Do you need me on the bridge. We have Red two, three and four ready to go. I can coordinate from there.=^= She said as she climbed out of her fighter.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : She opened her comm link to her other pilots =^=We launch, it's hot and heavy. Aquire targets and do you job. I'll be on the bridge coordinating." She said not taking off her flight suit.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : OOC: With Toro in a fighter we will just NE the Tac position.
: : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : Parker (CO)
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : The hails at first did nothing. Then a reply came. It was a squealing mass of sounds that was not unlike that of nail on a chalkboard, though they did seem to have coherence. Mirri would think there was a message in there, repeating every ten seconds.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : He would see as well, the large vessel turning course to be approaching between the outpost and the Olinski. Their time for breaching the buoy lines was inside of two minutes.
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Mirri cocked an ear "Sir, I'm hearing something, but I need to get it cleaned up." She said "I can't make it out. But it's repeating every ten seconds." She said putting it on speaker.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Helm
: : : :
: : : : It was irritating, there was no doubt of that. The cleaning up cut down the squeal though much of it remained. Apparently that was their language per se, at least according to the computer which was struggling to translate this. It was certain that it was a short, repeating message, making translation difficult.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Moments later, Toro walked onto the Bridge still covered in blood and gut and goo. She was not happy but she was on the Bridge and she fired up her console "I've got this. Go to the secondary station in CIC and keep feeding me any details that I'm missing out on here." She said to the JO.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : OOC: I'll run a couple of NE's as pilots.
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : CAG
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Good to have you on Tac Lt. Toro." He said as she took her station. "If an attack comes launch without orders. Im hoping we all are wrong and these might be friendlies."
: : : : : :
: : : :
: : : : Toro would see the approaching large vessel, illuminated by the sensor detections and it's horned, irregular surface, drawing close to the buoys. Clear from the cloud, it had an ochre, mottled hull. It adjusted course but just a bit to emerge between a trio of old buoys.
: : : :
: : Toro looked up "Sir we've got a ship emerging between the bouys." She said "It's got a mottled hull and an irregular surface." She said giving a description "Scanning for defenses and weapons." Toro said as she began a tactical analysis.
:
: The skin of the vessel was in part biological and part mechanical, a kind of meshing of the two. The barbs were weapon hardpoints, though they only faced forward and so were limited. While the number of hardpoints were easily a full score with a probability that they were likened to the plasma weapons that the smaller ships had, they were currently not powered. It was the mass of the vessel that was most irregular; it was massively dense for its size. The engines at the rear were primarily impulse and large and running hot as they accelerated the large vessel slowly. It had shields up.
: :
: : : : Mirri would get a communication from the Mammoth. =^= Orders? =^= It was short and concise, and a touch worried.
: : :
: : : Mirri looked up "Captain the Mammoth is requesting orders." She said as she went back to listening to the message and flying the ship.
: : : :
: : : : : : Toro nodded "Understood Captain." She said as she sat down and began plotting and planning tactics. The dried blood was starting to annoy her but she had a job to do. She made sure that all of the pilots had their orders and they had their ships ready to go at her command.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Helm be prepared to take an evasive maneuver. We have info from the Alt Universe that they were attacked in a very similar way but with a ship that came out of the cloud and rammed them. We cant be certain that this will happen but I want to be ready, because we have all seen the other Olinski and we will not suffer that fate." He said with conviction. "And we have to know what that com is saying. It might be the difference between life and death."
: : : : :
: : : : : Mirri nodded "I've got evasive plans plotted." She said "I have the comm on the main speaker so we can hear what going on. It can be opened with your voice command sir." She said, her English accent sounding very confident as she watched everything that was going and seeming to know everything.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Also science I want contact with the other Olinski. I dont care if its through a probe or a tin can but I want to talk to whoever is in command over there. I get the feeling it will help us. Plus I want my people back." He ordered the NE at science.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Parker (CO)
: : : :
: : : : The computer translated, at least part of this. It came out as either 'Worth .. or Worthy' .. which word it was, or both was uncertain due to the limited sampling.
: : :
: : : Mirri looked up "Captain...it sounds like worth, worthy....something." She said "The computer is struggling to make a translation." She said as she continued to listen and keep the ship out of harms way.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "Captain, all fighters are green for launch on my command." She said "I have then lined up to make strife runs and to provide us with some recon as well." She said spinning her chair back around to face the center chair.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : CAG
: : : : :
: : : : : Helm
: : : :
: : : : Six of the smaller 'escort' alien vessels began making an approach onto the buoys .. two per nearest buoy, a plasma torpedo from each approaching it. Two torpedoes were 'intercepted' by the ionic lightning, though the rest found their targets, obliterating the century old buoys.
: : : :
: : : : Wookiee
: : :
: : : Mirri looked up "Sir, I think they mean business." She said as she watched the bouys exploded.
: : :
: : : Helm
: :
: : Toro looked up at Mirri and then back at her screen "Sir, the smaller vessels have taken out several of the bouys. They seem intent on blocking our way out." She said "There are six smaller vessels that are destroying the bouys with plasma torpedos." She said as she looked at the data "Sir, the fighters might be able to take out the smaller ones and harry the larger one, but they would be sitting ducks if they got struck by that lightening." She said.
: :
: : CAG
:
: At this moment there was a disruption around the center of the tear in space. Mirri's scans would show that the tendrils drew back almost to the event horizon of the tear. On scans it would show to be straining as though it was reluctant to allow something through. But then it tore and a ship emerged from it. It was the Olinski, though it was not theirs. Virtually identical, the top six decks of the ship had been ripped off by some explosion. Signs of fire had blackened the decks and hull around it. The drive section had a fresh 'wound' in it's side that showed some kind of weapon impact or something larger. Energy crackled across it's shields as it escaped through the rift. Phaser and torpedo fire lanced out from the underside of the other Olinski firing through the rift. Mirri would see that with each fire the rift closed into itself just a little bit more.

: Wookiee

As his crew jumped into action the other helms officer turned to him.

"Sir there is a ship coming through the rift. Well sir it looks like the Alt Olinski and they dont look in good shape. They seem to be firing at something on the other side."

OOC: Im going to wait to see what our actions do. Since we had not been directly attacked I have been playing all nice and Federation diplomatic. However now Im getting the sense this is a full blown attack and not a mistake its going to be on like Donkey Kong.

Sickbay - Surgery on USS Brian A. Olinski

: : Posted by Lieut (j.g.) Rena Grey (Chief Medical Officer) in Sickbay - Surgery
: : : Posted by Gamemaster The Wookiee - Hear his Yawrl (Gamemaster) in Sickbay - Surgery
: : : : Posted by Ensign James Randolph (AWOL 4/17/13) (Security officer) in Sickbay - Surgery
: : : : : Posted by Gamemaster The Wookiee - Hear his Yawrl (Gamemaster) in Sickbay - Surgery
: : : : : snip
: : : : : : : : : : "All right," Rena's voice was tinged with urgency and authority. "I want low-priority patients - walking, talking, not in any immediate danger - sent back to their quarters, or either treated sufficiently so they can return to duty. Otherwise, utilise the reception. Medium priority, use the Lower Sickbay and Reception. I only want to see high priority patients in the Upper Sickbay." Although her mind was still running over Ollie's words, Rena quickly got irritated. How could she play detective? She had her patients to attend to, people dying. Surely that was the priority here, said the rational part of her brain. As she used an osteo-stim on a badly broken leg, something continued to niggle in the back of her mind...
: : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : CMO
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : There was some grumbling amongst the orderlies, however they didn't meet Rena's eyes as they pulled people up. There was a real mix of how the patients were treated. While not badly there was not much bedside manner here to speak of. However, it was effective as the lower priority patients were moved out first in a slowly flowing sea of humanity as things got sorted out that way. It at least gave Rena more 'room' to move and breathe here. One thing she did notice was that there were a great deal of injured who were dressed as marines than general crew. The other thing she noticed was the two 'men' whom the Commodore had sent over earlier rocking on their heels not far away. They looked nervous. "Um," one of them said, "how is your patient?" There seemed hope in their voice for success.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Randolph finally began to piece it all together. Something he had read about in his temporal mechanics course. He remembered reading about the "mirror universe" in a mission debrief from some other ship. Right now he was drawing a blank on which crew and in which year it had happened.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : He walked slowly to a wall terminal and asked the computer to display his service record and current location. He was hoping to get an insight into how the crew of this "mirror" ship may expect him to act. Also he was hoping that the computer wouldn't alert to the fact that he was in two places at once.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Then it dawned on him, if there were two of him, there were possibly two of Lt. Rogers also, and that could be all bad.
: : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : -Ensign Randolph (security)
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : A male voice replied. =^= Randolph, James, Ensign. Squad leader: Blackthorn Squad. Commendation for quelling the food riots on Cestus Four with due diligence while yet a Cadet. Stationed on Olinski seven standard months ago. =^=
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : wookiee .. welcome back :)
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Out of the corner of Rena's eye she could see a man dressed in security garb moving about among the wounded. His back was to her most of the time but he was scanning and moving, unlike someone who was trying to render first aid.
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : Wookiee
: : : : : :
: : : : : : "He is out of surgery, and stable. However, I have other matters to attend to." Rena answered sharply to the black coated men, curious about the security man. He evidently wasn't providing medical aid, so what was he doing? "Excuse me." Rena put authority in her voice. "What are you doing? These are my patients, under my jurisdiction."
: : : : : :
: : : : : : CMO
: : :
: : : At that moment Kelm would have a scan that showed a positive to his universe - that of Randolph, whom he would recognize, though at that moment Randolph was just heading out of sickbay.
: : :
: : : : :
: : : : : OOC: Kelm, your move .. Gene
: : : :
: : : : James decided that it was time for him to get out of the immediate area, but not to leave the lieutenant to these unknown people. He had to come up with some way to keep in touch with her.
: : : :
: : : : =/\= Computer, notify me as soon as Lieutenant Rogers is completed with her treatment.=/\=
: : :
: : : =^= Request logged =^= the computer replied.
: : : :
: : : : James Made his way to the door and looked for a terminal just outside the door so that he could inquire from the computer in some form of private.
: : : :
: : : : -Ensign Randolph (security)
: : :
: : : Beyond the doors the Olinski here looked much like that of his own. Computer terminals were not a rarity and Randolph would be able to find one that he could use. While people were moving about there were few who paid any more attention to Randolph than a passing glance.
: : :
: : : Wookiee
: :
: : OOC: Just waiting for Kelm now. - Fran
:
: The doors opened behind the doctor. The Counselor was being carried out between nurse and orderly. She looked weak and a synthetic bandage covered her neck. What other scrapes she had was covered or regenerated. "Doctor, she wanted to see what was happening."
: "And the other? The pilot?" asked the other two men dressed in fatigues.
: "In a coma. His vitals are failing. He's alive because of the machinery." They blanched.
:
: The ship shuddered at this time, the lights flickering. The patients present all seemed to start talking at once, at least those who were conscious.
:
: Wookiee

"Everybody stay calm!" Rena's level voice rose above the din. She wasn't going to protest about the Counselor, who admittedly seemed stable, but she would not allow a panic to start now. "Stay where you are." she told the patients. What was happening?
