Laraan was ready too, but her focus was fully on Ghubari right now. Her large light green eyes that had already lived through more than 200 years of life experiences were looking more into than at Ghubari… and at the phaser that she clutched in her hand, set on kill. She didn’t say anything. She knew no words in the world would change Ghubari’s mind and she was not even sure she wanted to. So she just looked into the Captain’s eyes, that were apparently so eager to kill on sight.

OOC: It’s on heavy stun, not kill. I mentioned her setting it to heavy stun in my post just before we went on Stark’s crazy ride. ~Linds

Stark couldn’t help but laugh a little as they exited the Captain’s Ready Room and boldly walked out onto the bridge. Seeing themselves whip around and stare at “themselves” was comical at best. Stark couldn’t help but blurt out “Captain’s on the deck” at the assembled crowd.

Past Stark’s eyes widened and then he muttered darkly “I hate time travel”.

OOC Enjoy :-)

Nico slipped as stealthfully as only a cat could. He could also sense himself several decks away. He knew he was not on the bridge twise, he had never been on the bridge, or in the ready room, those were no no places. The flashing lights and beeps boops whistles and other noise threatened to distract him but Nico shook it off. Using the cover of Shadow Brothers words andd everyone’s shocked expressions he positioned himself on the foot resting shelf of the console closest o where Shadow brother recalled Crazy eyes stupid hat being before he grabbed Shadow Brother and Razzed Night skin. Nico licked his chops, no one had seen him attack anyone before. His teeh and claws were designed to hunt not for show.

Kaylee hung towards the back of the group. In the past timeline she had been in the cargo bay so there was not as much shock factor in her presence here as some of the others who were facing themselves from the future. She kept her eyes and ears alert and her phaser drawn.

Ghubari stared at, well, herself and while there was definitely a look of surprise on her counterpart’s face, there was also a familiar composure. “As much as I’d like to hash things out in detail, we don’t have much time. Suffice to say, we’re here to help stop your ship from being destroyed a short time for now. And given how things go, trust me, you will want a change of events.”

Past-Ghubari’s brows lifted and she smirked. “I’d ask if I could trust you, but I know you too well. It also helps to be an empath.” She eyed the contingent and shook her head. “I’m sure I’ll have a migraine later, but please, do fill me in.”

Koraia nodded and took a deep breath. “Well, any moment now, Pierce if going to presumably show up and try to abduct Stark. I plan to stun him, but back up would be good. We basically need to stop him from using a device later, and my Chief Engineer and one of his ensigns are trying to figure out how to reverse or prevent any sabotage Pierce probably has done.”

OOC Totally understandable :-)

A tall balding man carrying a bowler hat in his hand walked out from the Captain’s Ready Room. His hands were gesticulating wildly and the silver cylinder in his left hand was almost hypnotic in it’s motions. Finally he crouched a little and put on his best horror voice, hands to the heaven’s in mock supplication.

“You’re all doomed”.

“Like hell we are,” Past Ghubari remarked darkly.

It was at that point that he realised that there was a twins convention happening on the Athena’s bridge. He hesitated for a brief microsecond…

Two totally silent swift bolts of black lightning flew at the man, one high and one low…

Current Ghubari fired her phaser at Pierce, hopefully sealing the deal as Past Ghubari reacted with anticipated speed and moved swiftly out of the way. Nico, now! the current version thought to her companion, hoping it wasn’t a grave mistake.

NOW!

Echoed in Nico’s head from Night skin. Like a 16 kilogram coiled spring the Treecat sprang from the console just to Pierces left flank. Nico had a mission, his people’s needed him. Shadowbrother Hi, Shadowbrother low, Energy beam, only one place to go. Nico had been told to take the thingy away from Crazy eyes stupid hat. The easiest way wo disarm a being when you were equiped with needle like teeh, and six limbs of razor edged 3cm claws, was to be literal. Nico teeth went for the wrist. True hands grabbed the item. His hand paws on the mid limbs attempted to shred the forearm, and his hind quarters with its true paws and his sharpest claws attempted to debone and seperate the arm at the elbow. as in insult he knocked the hat off with his tail. also giving Shadowborther one or two access to the phaser he had belted on.

Nico the Tree Cat

The phaser burst hit a personal energy shield but the distraction had done it’s job. Nico was firmly fixed on Pierce’s arm and had the device held tightly. Pierce held on for grim death and that in the end was his undoing. He screamed in pain and despair as Stark’s claws ripped him through the hamstrings and his entrails at precisely the same moment. Unbelievably the man through sheer stubbornness would not let go of the device. He desperately tried to turn the servo to aim it at the vengeful Nico, with strength born of desperation it slowly started to turn.

Meanwhile on the main screen a blast of energy from the Counter Strike vessel ripped into their shields and the whole ship groaned in agony.

The weapons fire tore Past Ghubari’s attention and she moved over to her Captain’s chair, letting their ‘guests’ handle their intruder for a moment. It was more than mind-boggling, but at the moment, the other vessel was her priority. “Arm phasers and photon torpedoes, fire when ready.”

OOC: Luke, you can play your ‘Past Self’ here. As can anyone else who was on the bridge earlier.

R”han spun in his chair squinting at what had to be at least a dozen temporal paradoxes in the making. Although somehow he was more concerned that he wasn’t one of them. That could have meant he died in the previous time line… which would mean he would have to be extra focused not to die in the current one. “Aye.” He said with a slight tone of incredulity. He guessed his role was to pretend there wasn’t a mass of hand to hand combat occurring on the bridge as he was ordered to fire the phasers and photon torpedoes. “Firing.”

Kaylee watched both what was going on with Pierce and also what was happening on the view screen. At this moment, she felt mostly helpless. Somehwere in this timeline, she was probably following a cat who would later turn into a woman.

Doing the only thing she could think of, she rushed over to Past Ghubari’s side, taking a seat next to her. “Captain, that man is a threat to our very existence,” She said. “He must be stopped.”

-Kaylee Baxter

“Oh, I’m well aware of that, Commander,” Past Ghubari said, her pale amber eyes fixed on the screen as weapons first from the Athena moved to strike their opponent. It seems people have it well under control.” She allowed her gaze to shift to Kaylee. “You’ll forgive me if I try not to wrap my brain around this too much at the moment. Since I’m clearly behind in all of this, I figured it best to focus on keeping the ship in one piece, while you lot save time… or whatever it is that the end result will be.” Was she weirded out by the fact that a version of herself was on the bridge? Most definitely. Not the craziest thing to ever happen to her, but it was vying for a top slot. “If you want to help me, tell me how to keep the Athena intact.”

Nico, also known amongst his people as Laughing Leaf, the Captain’s companion, and current combatant for the control of the wand thing with Crazy eyes stupid hat. Nightskin needed to have time to fight back. That was Nico’s job at the moment. It was instinctual, Nico somehow knew there could not be two Nico’s when this ended. There was still the other Nico far below him, coming to this point in time. The cat was an empathic creature that was Intune with the world around him. Few understood that could sense emotions, even fewer knew that he could communicate mind to mind. Pierce was truly out of his mind could sense the chaos that was his mind glow. It was angry, confused, and needed to lash out. It had a need to hurt and cause pain. As the wand turned towards Nico, Shadow brothers were tearing the flesh of the man, and still the man wished to cause the pain to Nico instead of surrender. So instead Nico surrendered to him. Turning the entire arm, letting the wand touch his face, at the same time it touched Pierce’s. With every ounce of Empathic power Nico had he reached out to the Chaos of Crazy Eyes stupid hat. Rubbing his soft furry chin against the man’s cheek, Nico gave a bone rattling purr, and poured love, safety and hope into Pierce. Making him comfortable with doing what it was to the both of them.

There was surprise from both Ghubari’s at the treecat’s actions, of which both felt keenly. Of course, sometimes in a fight, stopping the fight was the only answer.

The surge of love unmanned Pierce in a way that nothing else could have. Years of temporal narcosis, stress and a nagging guilt complex were utterly consumed in that moment. Pierce’s hatred and anger had been the only thing keeping him alive and as the adrenalin surge was wiped, he simply… died.

Also In that moment the servo’s inbuilt security system kicked in and blasted Nico with a bolt of concentrated energy. Unfortunately Pierce and two Stark’s were attached at the time. All were blown in separate directions and lay still on the ground with the servo left spinning on the floor in the middle of it all… like a clock telling the time.

A second blast hit the ship and the servo skidded across the floor…

“We are overmatched Captain.” He looked at the sensors, “Minimal damage to the target. Firing again.” Well he wasn’t going to give up the ship without emptying his chambers.

Current Ghubari utilized all her physical training and the opportunity available to her to grab that servo. Keeping low, she dropped to a knee, grabbed the servo with her hand and rolled away, all the while aware of the fact that the ship was about to be destroyed if something couldn’t be done. One hand holding her phaser, there other holding the servo, she tapped her commbadge with her fist to activate their special communications channel. =/\=Koraia to Orvos. We have the servo. Tell me you have a way to keep this ship in one piece or else it’s going to be a bunch of pieces again.=/\=

Looking over to the side, Current Ghubari was focused. “Stark, either of you. Secure Pierce!” Then she looked to Kaylee. “Kaylee, catch! If he moves, stun him again,” she said, tossing her phaser very adeptly to the diplomat.
