Tom asked. Reply: Noah "The Captain has requested a detailed report of each department's current status" Jackson simply stated. Reply: Noah Tom listened to his colleague's report. "Thanks Doc.

Commander Tom Jackson – Day 12 - 1549)Tom was trying to get to Engineering to see what the status of things were. His thoughts were forces back to reality when he heard his friend over the Comm system. =^= Matrix to Commander Jackson. Please report to the bridge immediately .=^= Tom stopped and tapped his Comm badge and replied. “Understood Commander – on my way - Jackson out “ Tom reversed direction and headed to see what was up. This had been a mission for the books. Politics, civil disturbances and a dying culture. Tom wondered if they’d ever get to simply explore and learn. (USS Soval Main Bridge - 2O Lt. Commander Tom Jackson – Day 12 1553) The turbo lift doors swooshed open and Tom stepped out onto the bridge and reported to Steve Matrix. “HI Steve. What’s up?” Tom inquired. Matrix: Reply As Steve spoke Tom was quiet and his brow wrinkled as it often did during trials. What his old friend related wasn’t good. Efforts to locate the Captain had failed. The computer had searched the Soval but had turned up nothing. Reply: None Posted by: Bill Lt. Cmdr.

Commander Tom Jackson - 1609) Tom and the other senior staff had made it to the bridge. Steve Matrix outlined what was happening as best he could tell. "Very well. Secure general quarters. Yellow alert." The ship eased out of red alert status but remained at a heightened security status Matrix pulled Tom aside, "Commander Jackson...Tom...I suspect we've traveled back in time, but I don't want alarm the crew. Keep everyone busy, get their mind on their work. Please take charge of conducting a ship-wide status review. Stem to stern. I'd like a full report within the hour. Also I want to Ensign Brown to take on a bigger role here. Do you have any objections of promoting him?" Jackson had no objections and so indicated “I concur Steve – he has earned it”. Matrix: reply Tom smiled and headed off to begin the tasks assigned to him. (USS Soval – Deck - Engineering – LCDR Tom Jackson Day 12 – 1616) Tom entered the engineering spaces and took a moment to think of all the adventures he and Steve Matrix had been through together. He and Steve were close. Steve had been his best man when he and Dahlia had married. Spying the young Mr. Brown, Tom walked over and issued his instructions. “Mr. Brown, I want a total report from Engineering for the Captain. Male as sure as you can that we are good to go. Do you have any questions?” Tom asked. Ensign Brown: Reply Tom waited for Brown’s reply. (Reply: None) (Posted by: Bill W.)

He quickly issued his orders. “Mr. Brown, I want a total report from Engineering for the Captain. Male as sure as you can that we are good to go. Do you have any questions?” Ens. Brown came to attention without realizing that he was doing so and replied immediately. "Aye sir, actually I do. We have a preliminary report ready to go *now*, thanks to Master Chief Richard here," he said gesturing toward the man seated at the work station. "We can flesh that out in detail within short order. My question sir, is this: Do you and Commander Matrix want us to confine ourselves to the current status of the ship? Or do you want us to also be looking at how we got... well, for lack of a better term, 'there to here', wherever 'here' actually is? I mean that both in the sense of the sudden lack of damage to the ship, and our sudden move... *here*?" Jackson considered his reply for a second. "Ensign, lets first determine what our current status is. We need to be ready for any and everything. Once we can determine that we can go further" Ens. Brown: Reply (Posted by: Bill W.)

Tom Jackson 2O USS Soval ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mission: The Lesser Evil Day: 12 Stardate: 2414.05.26 (USS Soval- Bridge -2O – Lt. Commander Tom Jackson- 1635 ) Tom Jackson and his old friend Steve Matrix were discussing their current predicament. The telemetry from a half dozen probes completed their assigned tasks and reported back to the Soval’ s sensors. Matrix took the liberty of assessing the information personally. It was something to keep his mind occupied while he struggled with the situation. Most disturbing was the disappearance the Captain and the other crew members. Sensor logs simply showed they had vanished. Ensign Callum was apparently the lucky one who was somehow transported to another part of the ship...yet the remaining bridge crew were unaccounted for. Officially, Matrix had to list them as MIA. For now, that seemed a less likely outcome. The numbers, the science...they don't lie. Yet, the information before him was unexpected, puzzling and ushered in more questions than he had answers. He wanted confirmation from his staff...independent confirmation if possible. Stellar cartography should be able to substantiate the rudimentary probe data with greater clarity. "Tom...please take a look at this." asked Matrix as he pointed to the science station above the command chair and made is way to the upper bridge console. Jackson looked at where the FO indicated. He want a temporal events expert but thing s were not what they should be. “A couple of things Steve. We can go crazy wondering if all this data was valid. I suggest we assume the ship’s gear is correct. It’s sort of like when we were taught instrument flying at the academy. Trust your on-board instruments remember?” Tom stated. Matrix: Reply "The quantum resonance spectrum...its not...it doesn't match our own reference." noted Matrix. Jackson: “I noticed that as well. So we are not really sure when or where we are located” Tom didn’t like this at all. Matrix went on "All of the probe data confirm it. I've recalibrated additional probes for another launch, but I'd like Ensign Brown to recheck my work and take charge of another sensor scan and analysis. If this is true..." Tom Jackson thought for a moment and spoke. We could be anywhere at any point in time “ Steve spoke further. "Indeed...if this is true then we've either traveled back in time or we're in another dimension. First thing is first...we need to determine if its one or the other or both." continued Matrix. Tom nodded in agreement. He like Steve, remembered that several SF vessels had figured this out . Matrix issued further orders. "Have Commander Gray conduct an investigation on any impact to the crew. Please see to it that Ensigns Yeates and Harris have begun their research on the anomaly. I want to know what we experienced...if its a natural phenomenon...if its predictable and if we can recreate conditions to get is back to our own universe and time." asked Matrix. “I’ll get on that first thing Commander” Tom added. Matrix also added "I want to talk with Ensign Brown personally...as we discussed. For what its worth its time, he's earned it." continued Matrix. Steve radioed Ens. Brown "Ensign Brown...if your immediate duties permit it, please report to the Captain's ready room as soon as you are available." "Tom I'll be in the Captain's ready room. The staff should be ready for that report within the hour...I need to catch up before that meeting." continued Matrix. “Ok Steve. I’ve got things as under control as can be” replied. Command was never easy in the best of times. Tom left for Sickbay to talk to Cmdr. Gray. (USS Soval- Sickbay- 2O – Lt. Commander Tom Jackson- 1646) Tom entered and searched for the CMO. Dr. Gray wasn’t long is coming to meet with him. “Doctor, Cmdr. Matrix has asked me to have you update him on how this anomaly has, in any way affected our shipmates” Tom stated. (Gray: Reply) Tom smiled and added “Of Course its needed yesterday”. (Gray: Reply Jackson left and headed out to meet with Ensigns Yeates and Harris to ensure each have begun their research on the anomaly.
