More and more it was seeming like this was a temporal issue on top of another one. The relic had to have some role in it since all this started the minute Jessica and the science team looked at them. “Also where were you when the attack started? I know that sounds like an insane question but the attack did not happen outside the Outpost door with all of us sleeping on the job. I will admit I wasn’t on the bridge all day but what happened and where were you just before the alien ship attacked?”

The subcommander frowned before replying. “56845.6. Sometime after the… incident in 56844.9, we were sent off to patrol the Neutral Zone after the previous subcommander made some rather interesting comments about how it was handled.”

OOC: GM, what would the current stardate be for the Outpost?

Baldur looked at the Romulan “Shinzon” He said quietly “I’m assuming it was either regarding the new post-Shinzon regime or how the ordeal itself was handled” He said with a serious expression. Romulan politics was a mysterious thing but he understood some of it from conversations with some old Romulan friends.

SOO - Baldur

Jessica tried to conceal her frown. The subcommanders comment about being basically sent away for comments had her on edge. What was clear was that whatever side the subcommnder’s crew were one it wasn’t with the popular one. “If I may,” she held up a finger. “You said the previous subcommander made some rather interesting comments that sent you to neutral zone patrol....does that mean he was injured before you showed up here or because you showed up here?” The difference could mean the world. If the previous subcommander died or was killed that meant the Romulan sitting across from her either supported the current Romulan politics or wanted to rebel possibly. She needed to know if they were still giving aide or just let an insurgent on the Outpost.

The Subcommander shook her head. “No, he was perfectly fine, as the patrol duty was punishment enough for him. His injuries occurred when we were attacked by that golden ship.”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

“I’m sorry to hear that, Subcommander,” said Mathias as he couldn’t help but think back to years ago when he lost an officer under his command for the time. This was no time, however, to dwell on that mistake in judgment. Nor could he afford to focus too much on empathy for the Romulan before him now. “Perhaps you can help us, as we were boarded by a force from that ship as well. Do you know why they attacked you? Did you have something of value that they wanted by chance?”

Captain Mathias McGarrett, CO

OOC: So after a large amount of searching, in our years, Nemesis happened in 2379, and the ‘current’ year according to the club rules is 2397.

The Romulan shook her head. “As I have told your friends, I have no idea. They were hostile from the start, although I assume that we were simply in their way, and their fastest way forward was to go through us.”

Mr Snuggles (GM)

“This is going to come off way more condescending and intrusive than I actually mean but who is in command of the Romulan Star Empire?” Jessica knew this would appear to be more interrogative than inquisitive but they needed to know exactly where and when this ship came into their timeline.

With the room so full, Toveka had settled on the fringes, near the door, with Tesla. As the conversation turned to Romulus, and she realized these folks had come from before, she shivered and moved to hear better. “Time travel?” she half whispered under her breath. Tesla, if he was close enough, would hear. But doubtful anyone else would. Seeing Tenkiller made her heart skip a beat once more. She was going to have to find time to speak more with him once things settled again. But for now, seeing him safe, was going to have to suffice.

She stood by, unaware she was half holding her breath, as she waited for the conversation with the subcommander to continue.

The subcommander shrugged. “Some politician or other. They all just started blending together for me after a while.” She frowned at Jessica. “Was me saying a certain name going to change your opinion of me in any way? Seems rather suspicious considering how ‘open-minded’ you Federation types are.”

Mr. Snuggles (GM)

“That ain’t it, Subcommander. We’re just tryin’ to piece together what all is going on here. Lotta weirdness and cross-communications happening right now, and we are just trying to come up with a way to move us all outta this mess.” Tenkiller said with a small of nod emphasis.

Tenkiller, CoS

Toveka spoke up from the door, her curiosity getting the better of her normally quiet demeanor. “We ask because it will give us a better timeline of when you came from.” She was hoping the Subcommander would be a bit more forward if the questions didn’t seem so antagonistic.

Jessica looked at Tenkiller and then Mathias. They needed more answers than questions right now. She hoped the subcommander would trust them enough so that they might be able to open up about the contents in the cargo hold.
