S’Raal nodded all business now. “I’m going to need the areas we’re splicing to be liberally coated in silicon gel as well to absorb the heat of reintegration of the electron pathways, both the Guardian and Rxzyth will need it”. He suddenly started as he remembered a conversation T’Pon had had with Lucsly right back when this had all started in a boiler room long ago… or forward. He looked at his wife who looked at him with a small smile from where she was communing with Rxzyth.

Dan nodded to his department head in acknowledgement of the orders.

Turning towards S’Raal, Dan started a continuous scan of the Guardian and said “Ready to begin Lieutenant.”

Liam nodded at both S’Raal and Jones, accepting the information. Noting the lack of Silicon Gel on his person, the CSO decided the only way to get it was to request it from the ship. HIs hand pressed against his badge comm then spoke again.

=^= “Madison to Transporter Room, I need you to beam down some silicon gel now.=^=

The ship acknowledged the order and it wasn’t long before the request was fulfilled.

When the silicon gel came down, he snatched up the tubes. He then passed one to Jones and kept one for himself. He rubbed the gel into his hands before applying it into the Gaurdian’s crack upon its surface.

“Jones, first apply the gel to the portion that T’Pon indicates should be coated in silicon. S’Raal, I believe you need to get the smallest piece. It’s about roughly the size of a painting, wouldn’t you agree?” Liam hinted to what the ex-CMO might have to use it for, recalling the information he had gotten from both the scans and T’Pon.

He generously applied the gel to the Guardian of Forever. Being this close to the creature stirred up memories best left forgotten, he swallowed them down. Now wasn’t the time to be consumed by old pain. By the time he finished, Liam quickly pulled his hands away and checked to see if the others were done.

When he was confident they were, he contacted the transporter then gave the coordinates for the portion to be merged into the Guardian and the Guardian of Forever itself. Then he gave the command to start.

=/\=Koraia to Madison, Grey, R’han and Vander. Commander Baxter is going to be beaming down to the Guardian site to meet with an Aegis operative to facilitate the removal of our people from the planet without causing a diplomatic incident. Get the crew ready to return to the ship and offer her any assistance needed. Once everyone is back, each person will need to re-integrate themselves. Lieutenant Grey, make sure to identify anyone who is not mobile so that you can have help from the rest of the teams down there. Stick together people and good luck. We’ll see you all soon. Koraia out.=/\=

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

=^= “Understood,”=^= Liam replied then turned to the rest.

“Time we wrap this up and make it like we were never here. Collect what silicon gel is left, your gear and then we’ll be heading back to the ship shortly,” Liam stated to Jones, assuming the rest had gotten their own orders.

His tone sounded less than pleased about it. It likely because he was recalling his struggles to resolve what he now viewed to be a simple solution. If he had known this the whole time then he could’ve skipped the whole running around like a chicken with its head removed.

–CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci

“Yes Chief” Dan said as he began applying the silicon gel as directed. Dan wasn’t sure what his alternate self would be like.

OOC This marks the point where everyone starts to arrive at the Guardian which will continue to be repaired as you arrive. Then after that it’s back to the ship for a good conversation with yourself before reintegration. Any questions? My email is open :-)

Merydith and Meridyth arrived in time to see the beginnings of the transporter operation, they seemed to be looking for someone. Minutes later Michail also moved into the area and after a quick consultation with T’Pon he leapt on top of a nearby rock and addressed the multitude that had gathered, he broadcast to to the ship above via a communicator patched in.

“I’ll make this short because time is short” he said with a small snort at his own inevitable pun, “You have won a great victory today and it would take too long to try and explain it right now. Know this though, very shortly we will have a visitor and she is of the same race that you have been fighting desperately against”.

Murmurings erupted at this pronouncement from what amounted to a total stranger to most that we’re there.

Michail waved his hands at the crowd in an attempt to placate them and mollify those that had lost loved ones in the attack. His words rose and somehow through technology unknown it reached clearly to the edge of the crowd. “Of the same race but not of the same purpose as those who attacked you”.

Michail looked down at the faces around him in the hopes of getting some kind of support for fear that if he didn’t the envoy that was coming was going to get a less than cordial reception.

Nearby, the shimmer of the transporter beam appeared, and deposited the slight frame of the blonde haired diplomatic officer. She looked around at her fellow crew. She had heard Michail’s words as she had prepared to beam down, so she approached him where he stood on the rock.

“How may I be of assistance?” She asked him, her eyes scanning the assembled crew, hoping to impart some form of comfort and ease into them, even though for everyone, herself included, things were a little unsettling. She hadn’t even encountered her past timeline self, nor had given much thought to her own personal integration process.

-Kaylee Baxter

Michail grimaced, “Definitely”. He looked at the crowd “Here’s the skinny, Counter Strike is a breakaway group of the Aegis that seek to bend the past present and future to further an elitist agenda whereas the Aegis follow the Temporal Prime Directive. Our actions here have undone a Counter Strike plot to remove the Aegis influence from this time period but they didn’t count on the fact that the Guardian itself was impervious to their efforts to eradicate it” He paused for a second “Long story short the Aegis are sending an operative to assist us in the final clean up and I’m worried that this crowd is going to be hostile when she arrives” He looked at Kaylee, “We really don’t want to have an incident here”.

He looked up sharply as there was an exclamation from the back of the crowd. An octopoid shape clothed in shiny gray had walked up to the encroaching time bubble from the outside and pressing a section of it’s suit blithely stepped through the energy barrier and began to walk towards Kaylee and Michail with what amounted to a very focused look in her eyes.

“Everyone just remain calm!” Kaylee announced to her fellow assembled crew. “She is here to help us.”

Stepping up to the newcomer, she gave a slight bow of her head. “I am Kaylee Baxter the Chief Diplomatic Officer of the Athena and a senior member of the crew. We are grateful for your assistance.”

-Kaylee Baxter

Liam wanted to roll his eyes at Michail’s pun and his reaction to it, feeling now wasn’t the time for humor. His noted the mention of the Aegis arriving. It took a moment for it to click. Their enemy weren’t an organization, like he originally assumed, but a race. Among the wave of murmuring, Liam remained quiet and inverted with his own reaction. Though his eyes betrayal they weren’t shared by everyone else.

He had been about to say something, when his ears caught the familiar sounds of the transporter beaming someone down. His attention broke from his original task toward the display. When Baxter stepped in to address things, the CSO pulled back and focused on what he knew best. Science. If she needed his help then she would request it. For now, he wanted to be useful and that’s what he intended to be.

“They seem to forget that all humans aren’t judged for a select few’s rotten decisions. We’re not the only creatures unique in that trait,” Liam mumbled quietly to himself.

–CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci

Dan noticed that his DH was looking a little grumpy and hurried to complete his task. “The silicon gel has been applied to the Horta. Let the healing begin.” Dan hoped a bit of flippancy would improve morale.

At the behest of the Chief Science Officer and with S’Raal’s guidance the transporter beam started it’s laborious process of remaking the Guardian of Forever. Flashes of coruscating light flashed over it’s and Rxzyth’s surface and finally the substantially reduced Rxzyth glided to the Guardian and used her own essence to breath new life into the silicon structure. Haltingly at first the Guardian began to flicker and then pulse. It’s voice boomed out just in time to cut off the first words of the Aegis envoy.

“The cycle is complete”.

S’Raal took hold of the now rather familiar block of silicon stone and nodding at T’Pon they and Rxzyth retired into the tunnel to complete their part in the Mobius loop.

Using a voice synthesiser the Aegis ambassador addressed Kaylee in a voice that could be heard to the edge of the crowd.

“We must bring this cycle to an end else all will be undone. We owe you a debt but you in turn owe us many that you know not. We have protected you throughout the ages as we knew of your contribution to the ending of the threat of the Borg in true time.” The octopoid looked somehow thoughtful and then continued “But you must leave this place at once or one of you may be tempted to revive the legacy of Pierce and Counter Strike. We must evacuate you all to the ship immediately for reintegration else all will be as nought”.

After a surge of medical brought their injured patients and beamed up to the ship Benjamin finally arrived. He was being supported by Doctor Karina Niles on his right sigde, his left hand holding his right side clearly injured. He looked over to the crowd gathered and the speech being given “You know I’m thinking of picking up knitting” He said to Dr Niles “Yeah something that doesn’t require me fighitng giant octopus monsters with a laser scalpel” He paused “Damn and that was my favorite scalpel”
