Ensign Yeates Spotted Tom and led Hartman over towards him. "Hey Tom. Its nice to be able to sit down and have a drink with a few friends once in awhile" Yeates Said followed by a smile as he and Hartman Satdown. (Reply Hartman, Tom ) (Posted by Yeates) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge, 2O - LCDR Tom Jackson - 0707) Tom listened to the exchange between Syuvik and Steve Matrix closely. "Lieutenant Signos, Commander Jackson, the safety of the ship is your priority to monitor. What is the status of the ship. Are we in safe enough environment to start conduct analysis?" Syuvik asked. Tom thought for a moment. He looked at Ensign Signos and nodded to indicate to her to report. (Reply: Signos) After she finished her report, he added his portion. "Sir, all departments report all systems at full operational status. We're ready as we can be" Tom added. (Reply: Signos,Matrix and Syuvik) (Posted by: Bill) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge, CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 0709) Jessica minded the console before her carefully monitoring the altered shied system. So far all seemed well enough, tiring the shield into the external senor array allowed the Soval to pass into the anamoly with a smaller disruption pattern. With any luck the Soval would have some warning if the anamoly triggered another temporal event. "Lieutenant Signos, Commander Jackson, the safety of the ship is your priority to monitor. What is the status of the ship. Are we in safe enough environment to start conduct analysis?" Syuvik turned to her station and asked. "We can cross the anamoly with less of a distortion pattern but the system is fragile and needs to be constantly monitored. But it should be considerably safer than trying to bulldoze our way though. I suggest we keep the Soval's speed slow to make it easier for the sensors and the shields to maintain synchronization." (Reply Jackson, Matrix, CO, iyw) (Posted by Matthew Locke ) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge, CO Captain Syuvik - 0712) As requested, Signos made an evaluation of the risks the USS Soval were facing. "We can cross the anamoly with less of a distortion pattern but the system is fragile and needs to be constantly monitored. But it should be considerably safer than trying to bulldoze our way though. I suggest we keep the Soval's speed slow to make it easier for the sensors and the shields to maintain synchronization." "Understood." said Syuvik. "Helm, your heard the Lieutenant." Syuvik returned to the two officers. "Are the level of risks similar everywhere in the anomaly or is it more dangerous the deeper we get in?" (Reply any) "Then, let's stay on the safe side for now and let the probes scan the center of the anomaly." Syuvik added. "Commander, helm and tactical is under your command. I will concentrate my attention with the science team." (Reply Jackson) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge - LCDR Tom Jackson - 2O - Day 15 - 0714) Jessica Signos had finished briefing the of the tactical situation the Soval found itself in. Tom admired her detailed grasp of their predicament. Syuvik considered her report and then issued his orders. "Then, let's stay on the safe side for now and let the probes scan the center of the anomaly." Syuvik added. "Commander, helm and tactical is under your command. I will concentrate my attention with the science team." Syuvik indicated. Tom nodded in agreement with the Captain. "Understood skipper- We'll take care of the ship and crew right Jessica?" (Signos, Syuvik) Tom took the center seat and got to work. (Reply: None) (Posted by: Bill) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge, CO Captain Syuvik - 0735) Syuvik watched as his FO gave some orders. "Helm...bring us to 103 Mark 32. Yellow Alert." ordered Matrix. "Ensign Yeates...the station is yours. Proceed with your investigation." said Matrix. Syuvik moved to have a private chat with his FO. "Commander, while finding our missing crew members is important, we should nevertheless concentrates our efforts on the upcoming away mission on Quezalth. I intent to have a meeting with Lieutenant Signos, Lieutenant Commander Noah, Lieutenant Bates, Lieutenant Brown and Lieutenant Bruce to discuss it. However, I need a command officer to supervise the search for the missing crew members. It is up to you to decide if you prefer Lieutenant-Commander Jackson to supervise the search or yourself. If it is the former, I will hold the meeting in Holodeck 1." (Reply Matrix) Syuvik then contacted the officers in question. "Commander and Lieutenant, come in holodeck 1 at 0745". ============ (USS Soval, Holodeck 1, CO Captain Syuvik - 0745) Syuvik had recreated the Quezalth capital in the holodeck, back before the explosion occured, as well as the reactor core as they had found it. In order to help discuss the matter, he had kept a small part of the room outside of the Quezalth capital and more like observation lounge in order to have place to sit and discuss. "Commander, Lieutenant, we are here to discuss and prepare our upcoming away mission on Quezal. This is how it will look like. However, before we go there, we need to know what we are going to do. We need to better understand what really happened with the information we have gathered. Commander Noah, what more can you tell about our crew DNA thraces we found on the site of the explosion. I assume the cause of their deaths were the explosion, but were you able to figure out what they were doing when it exploded and when exactly did it occur?" (Reply Noah) After listening to what the Lieutenant-Commander had to say, Syuvik followed. "The most important is to know who caused the explosion. We may not be certain, but if we could know who we are looking for. Lieutenant Signos and Bates. Who are our main suspects and what are the proofs supporting each suspect?" (Reply Signos) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval, Holodeck 1, CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 0747) The Captain had ordered Jessica and a few other key personnel to the holodeck. Jessica listened to the Captain who had filled the Holodeck with Quezalth prior to the explosion that had crippled the planet. The Captain turned to her and Bates and spoke "The most important is to know who caused the explosion. We may not be certain, but if we could know who we are looking for. Lieutenant Signos and Bates. Who are our main suspects and what are the proofs supporting each suspect?" Jessica spoke up. "Unfortunately we don't have any solid leads on who caused the explosion. But I do have a theory on what happened. Has we know Quezalth is a planet rich in a resource the Romulan want badly. Do to the size of the Romulan fleet in orbit before we jumped back in time it's a safe bet they have a vested interest in Quezalth. I believe Quezalth was trading raw illegal material with the Romulans. This would of caused a S31 investigation. We know this is true do to Elisabeth Knight being on the planet after the explosion. If S31 found evidence of Quezalth treason. They would feel justified to destroy the planet. You see what makes the situation difficult is that each party in question all are involved in the eventual destruction of Quezalth." She took a deep breath looking across the gathered. If what she felt was right the task before the crew of the Soval was daughting. "Finally I don't feel we can in good thought stop this explosion from happening. It is our calling card, we were already told that our involvement lead to a vast reduction to the explosive force of the blast. I took the liberty of having the computer to run a simulation of the explosion under ideal circumstances and for a maximum yield. I am sure once the process is complete I will show the complete obliteration of Quezalth." (Reply all gathered) ( Posted by Matthew Locke ) ============ (USS Soval, Holodeck 1, CO Captain Syuvik & IO Lieutenant Jennifer Bates - 0750) Jessica spoke up. "Unfortunately we don't have any solid leads on who caused the explosion. But I do have a theory on what happened. Has we know Quezalth is a planet rich in a resource the Romulan want badly. Due to the size of the Romulan fleet in orbit before we jumped back in time it's a safe bet they have a vested interest in Quezalth.

I am sure once the process is complete I will show the complete obliteration of Quezalth." "Jennifer?" Syuvik asked. "I have to agree with the Lieutenant assessment. We know S31 don't hesitate on the means and since it was theorized Aeghon is a key element in the building of Scimetar ships, then yes, they would do anything to prevent the Romulan to ever build a scimetar again, including destroying a planet and its population." "Section 31... hum...."... "And what about our travel through time?" Jennifer was hesitant. "I must admit sir, I am not very comfortable with the idea of intervening on the planet. Even if our presence has already been registered in history, playing with a timeline is a bit like playing god. We don't know what we are playing with and bad consequences could happen. I don't trust myself taking the right decisions in those circumstances and I don't believe we should go there." "Your advices are duly noted Lieutenant." said Syuvik. "Lieutenant Brown, am I mistaken to assume you have something to add on either subject?" (Reply Brown) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge, - 2O -Lt Cmdr Tom Jackson - 1022) Tom Jackson was studying the various reports that had come in when he heard =^ =Engineering to Bridge. This is Lieutenant Brown. I'd like the Captain, First or Second Officer... whoever is immediately available, to please come to Main Engineering. We have... a situation." Almost as an afterthought he added, "I think we might need a security detail as well. We seem to have an intruder aboard. Sort of. =^= Tom's said is "On my Lieutenant- Jackson out" Tom turned to Ensign Signos and ordered "Have a security meet me outside Engineering" (Reply: Signos ) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, - Day 15 - Ens(jg) Alexander Hartmann - 1035) Hartmann made his way from the turbolift down the hallway of deck 8, headed for the captain's quarters. He rechecked the PADD containing his orders to report to Captain Syuvik, hoping the captain would be available to see him. As he walked, he noticed some commotion coming from the direction of the security complex. Guards were streaming from the area, rushing towards the turbolifts and talking about "intruders". Alex sighed. ~Never a good sign for the first day,~ he thought. It suddenly occurred to him that if the ship was being invaded, the captain would have far more important things to tend to than welcoming a new ensign. He decided to head to the salon where he could stick close to the captain's quarters but still stay out of the way until the situation was resolved. (Reply: Any) (NRPG: Hartmann has never been on the Soval before, so he'll have no immediate idea that he's crossed into a parallel universe. By the way, in the universe he comes from, there was never a rebellion against Starfleet. Have fun breaking it to him. :D) (Posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval - Engineering - Deck 36 - Day 15 - LCDR Tom Jackson - 2O - 1036) Tom arrived and met with the Security Officers. " I want two of you to come with me and two to remain outside. Only people you know are to be let in. Understood?" Tom asked. (Security Officers: Reply) Tom entered Engineering and signaled for Lt Brown to come over to where he was. "Lieutenant, what the devil is going on?" Tom asked somewhat angrily. (Brown: Reply) (Posted by: Bill) ============ (USS Soval, Holodeck 1, CO Captain Syuvik - 1038) Syuvik was back in holodeck 1. Signos analysis was still in his mind. Section 31... destroying the planet. How would they operate. Under cover or hiding in the shadows, he wondered. Despite very low in numbers, there were still a few diplomats and adminstrative officers left at the embassy before the explosion. But how would they get in a fusion reactor? But it was Section 31. They had means to do the unbelievable. Suddenly, Syuvik was surprise when he heard a message from his chief engineer. =/\= Engineering to Bridge. This is Lieutenant Brown. I'd like the Captain, First or Second Officer... whoever is immediately available, to please come to Main Engineering. We have... a situation.....I think we might need a security detail as well. We seem to have an intruder aboard. Sort of. =/\= ~Sort of?~ wondered Syuvik. ~What did he meant?~. Syuvik pressed his combadge. "Commander Jackson, are you on your way to engineering?" (Reply Jackson) "Understood. Take the decision you believe necessary in the circumstances. Report to me when you are done. I will be awaiting in Security." (Reply Jackson) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, - Ens(jg) Alexander Hartmann - 1038) As he rounded a bend in the hallway, Hartmann ran into someone, almost literally. To his surprise, he recognized the man from the photo attached to his reporting orders as Captain Syuvik. Alex decided to use the opportunity to introduce himself. "Excuse me, Captain," he said, standing at attention. "Ensign Alexander Hartmann reporting for duty, sir!" "I'm sorry Ensign. While I have normally a very good memory of faces, I am sorry to say I do not remembers yours. You are?" "I just arrived, sir," Alex replied, indicating the orders displayed on his PADD. "I heard some crew members talking about intruders, and I apologize for interrupting you during an alert, but I'm trained in tactical and security operations. Perhaps I can help." (Reply Captain Syuvik) (Posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 36, Main Engineering - CEO Lt (jg) Brown - 1040) After a few minutes of somewhat tense but informal voir dire, Brown was relieved at the arrival of Commander Jackson. When he arrived, he immediately gestured for Dan to join him outside the CEO's office. Brown quickly stepped over to where Jackson was waiting with scarcely concealed impatience. "Lieutenant, what the devil is going on?", Jackson queried with a note of anger in his voice. Dan swallowed hard, then replied just loudly enough so that the Second Officer could clearly hear him over the background thrum of noise in the compartment. "Sir, this is another 'wrinkle' in our situation. I'm not sure I fully understand it, but it is logical, given our situation." He gestured with his thumb back toward the CEO's office and continued. "Commander, the being in there claims he is the Chief Engineer of this vessel. His name is Adim Abu Zhuri. I did a quick check of the computer logs, and I *did* confirm that Fleet personnel records list a Lieutenant by that name as Chief Engineer of this vessel, prior to the crews being merged with the USS Starfire. Now, I'm not familiar with that particular event or series of events, but perhaps you are sir?" (Reply Jackson) Brown listened intently then finished, with perhaps the most important point. "Sir, as I said... the computer lists an officer by that name, precisely fitting his description. But the thing is sir... it lists him as deceased." (Reply Jackson) "Sir I couldn't access the personnel records any further, they are under a security seal, command eyes only. A tangential search does pop up the tidbit that he was -- or is -- or is supposed to be -- killed in the line of duty. Now to anticipate your next question sir, I think this is the universe's way of 'balancing the equation', so to speak. We lost crew members, so this guy showed up. Which begs the question... are there any more uninvited guests aboard, and what do we do about it? That's why I called you down here Commander." (Reply Jackson, Any) (Posted by Russ) ============ (USS Soval, Turbolift, CO Captain Syuvik - 1047) "Deck 8" said Syuvik. He wondered who could have come on board. Section 31 operative? As the turbolift stopped, someone spoke to him (Reply Hartman) "I'm sorry Ensign. While I have normally a very good memory of faces, I am sorry to say I do not remembers yours. You are?" (Reply Hartman) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval, turbolift, CO Captain Syuvik - 1049) The ensign presented himself, but not even the name seemed familiar. Could he have forgotten an officer? No... even on a ship like the USS Soval, there weren't that many commissionned officiers. More over, since it was a inflitration mission, Syuvik had examined every officier added to the ship for that particular mission. Certainly he would have remembered. Unless he came from the USS Starfire. "I just arrived, sir," Alex gave him a Padd. "I heard some crew members talking about intruders, and I apologize for interrupting you during an alert, but I'm trained in tactical and security operations. Perhaps I can help." Syuvik examined the Padd only to find it wasn't working. Something wasn't right. Once again, it seemed logic couldn't have a grasp on what was happening. Unless his logic was the faulty one. Could he have been affected by the timetravel and the anomaly. He knew Ensign Callum had lost memories. Perhaps he did too, and that was why he couldn't remember the Ensign. "Maybe you can. I'm sorry ensign but you were right I was in the middle of something. Report to Commander Matrix on the bridge. He will be able to fill you out on the intruders. At the same time, you may want to check with him to have your credentials in order. Your Padd isn't working." (Reply Hartman) Their conversation over, Syuvik walked in the turbolift. "Sickbay". But as the turbolifted started its way down, Syuvik realized he was so focus on his own mental health, he didn't even realize something was amiss. Why would the ensign bring a padd of his affectation one week after the last addition to the crew. Where had he been in the last week or so? "Computer. Lock into position turbolift 2, authorisation Syuvik Gamma-0-Alpha-3-9." he said. "Computer, what is the location of Ensign Alexander Hartman." [Computer] There is no Alexander Hartman on board. [Computer] "Syuvik to Security. We have another intruder in turbolift 2 or on deck 8. He has a tactical uniform with the pip of Ensign Jg.

Puzzled, he tapped ineffectively at the device for a moment, then shrugged and stowed it away. "Main bridge," he said to the computer. Alex leaned back against the turbolift wall and sighed. ~What else could go wrong today?~ The turbolift stopped suddenly as flashing yellow alert lights filled the interior. ~Oh,~ Alex thought as he regained his feet. (Reply none) (posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval, Outside Engineering , Lt. Cmdr Tom Jackson, 2O, Day 15 - 1055) Tom had arrived at the entrance and was about to issue his orders when Syuvik's voice came over his com badge. =^=Commander Jackson, are you on your way to engineering?" "I'm there as we speak. I brought along a security team in case we have trouble Sir" =^=Understood. Take the decision you believe necessary in the circumstances. Report to me when you are done. I will be awaiting in Security. =^= "Understood Captain" Tom replied. Tom went on to explain what he wanted done. "Two of you will accompany me the other two will remain outside. Understood?" Tom ordered. Tom and the two others entered Engineering. Tom located Dan Brown. "Lieutenant Brown, what's going in?" Tom asked. Dan swallowed hard, then replied just loudly enough so that the Second Officer could clearly hear him over the background thrum of noise in the compartment. "Sir, this is another 'wrinkle' in our situation. I'm not sure I fully understand it, but it is logical, given our situation." He gestured with his thumb back toward the CEO's office and continued.

Now, I'm not familiar with that particular event or series of events, but perhaps you are sir?" Tom looked between Dan Brown and the mysterious guest. Tom Jackson thought about the Starfire. A lot had happened since that day. "The Starfire was a defiant class vessel. It came into being after the Rosenante was decommissioned. We had no officer on board named Adim Abu Zhuri. Tom paused again. Dan spoke Sir I couldn't access the personnel records any further, they are under a security seal, command eyes only.

Which begs the question... are there any more uninvited guests aboard, and what do we do about it? That's why I called you down here Commander". Tom had to admit Brown's suggestions had merit. "I think we need to met with the skipper and get to the bottom of this. I want both of you to come with me. We better sort this out and fast" Jackson stated. (Brown and Adim Abu Zhuri: Reply) (Posted by: Bill) ============ (USS Soval, Deck 8 - Security, CO Captain Syuvik - 1108) As soon as Syuvik learned about the possible explanation for all those intruders, he had ordered Conn to get them out of the anomaly. Apparently, in spite of all the precaution, they had been unable to shield the ship successfully from the anomaly. Lieutenant Commander Jackson and the other security team brought the two "intruders". In between the last 30 minutes, 10 other intruders had been detected on board. However, they were not really intruders as much as 'displaced', at least based on their story. If they were all part of the same group, they cover story was an imaginative one. In the circumstances, bringing them to the brig would undermine their trust. However, they still posed a security risk and, until they could be certain they posed no risk, Syuvik prefered to have them brought to security. Syuvik had prefered to let Lieutenant Commander Jackson and Lieutenant Signos manage the security aspect of this development. They knew what they had to do. Nonetheless, it could help having someone with great skills with human relations. So he had requested Lieutenant Bruce to be in security as soon as possible. He had also requested Lieutenant Commander Noah, Lieutenant Brown, Ensign Yeates to be in the Chief of Security office at 1115. As requested, Lieutenant Bruce arrived soon after. "Thanks Lieutenant to have come in such short notice. I understand its one meeting after another, but the situation requires them. As you may have known, we have 12 intruders on board, all declaring they were on another USS Soval. While it could be a cover story, it is more logical to assume, in consideration of the anomaly, that they came from other realities. For the moment, we have no idea how to send them back. So until we do, we will have to manage the situation. You are the officer most qualify for this job. Your responsibilities will be twofold. You will have to smooth the transition, making sure they are alright and being given quarters and that they pose no threat. Check with Lieutenant Signos if you need any security staff. Also, I would like to learn their story. Are they all part of the same reality or from different realities. So you will have also to get each one story as well as to brief them on what is different here in this reality. For each of them, make an assessment of their mental health as well as their willingness and abilities to help us." (Reply Bruce) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge – Yeoman – Ensign Ansia Rozen – 1110) After awakening in her quarters and feeling strange, An looked around her somewhat new surroundings, she got out of bed and went through her morning exercise routine before taking a shower. After her shower she still was not feeling herself, she decided to discuss it with the captain when she got to the ready room. She got dressed for her duty shift as it looked as if she was not where she would normally be. Arranging her hair in star fleet standard, she donned her blue yeoman uniform. Looking in her mirror she made sure everything was satisfactory for the captain. Satisfied at least that she was presentable, she headed for work. Exiting the turbo lift, “Sir, I am sorry to be late for my .....” An started but stopped when she noticed different personnel were present. “uh, can someone explain to me what is going on or what happened?” she asked as she stood there. Slowly she inched her way to the captains ready room, a supposed safe zone for her. (reply anyone) (posted by Frank) =========== (USS Soval, Deck 8 - Chief of Security Office, CO Captain Syuvik - 1115) Lieutenant Commander Noah, Lieutenant Brown and Ensign Callum had all arived in the office, so Syuvik started. "We have a total of 12 peoples who happen to come from other reality or realities. It is logical to assume the anomaly caused them to switch reality. It is also logical to assume our own missing crew members may be in other realities as well. So to send them back to their realities and get our own crew members back, they are our best hope of finding out what happened. Each of you has a special set of skills and competences. If you work together, I'm sure you could find out what caused these switchs. Is it something about the anomaly? Can we thrace what is different between us and them and can explain why they changed reality while we did not. I have also tasked Lieutenant Bruce with the psychological and historical aspect. She might have a fourth perspective which could help you out understand what happened." (Reply any) "One last thing", Syuvik added. "Time may be an issue. We are only days away from the explosion. We can't spare much time remaining here. A day, maybe two. After that, we will have to head to Quezal and play our part in history, whatever that is." (Reply any) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge, CIO Lieutenant Jennifer Bates - 1116) To say the least, Jennifer was uneased. A few minutes ago, the CO, FO, 2O were all on the bridge. And now, they all left the bridge one by one to take care of different tasks. Jennifer found herself to be highest ranked officer on the bridge with the formal duty to take command of the ship. And with all the sudden appearance of people from other realities, they had to leave to avoid others to be caught in the wrong reality. "Conn, get us out of here" she ordered, with a strange feeling. Perhaps she would like to be CO one day. Who wouldn't. As the ship moved out of harms way, she hoped, she could now see the anomaly in its entirety. It looked beautiful and yet, could be such dangerous. She then heard someone say “Sir, I am sorry to be late for my .....” The ensign seemed to be quite flabbergasted. Almost like she had seen a ghost. But in a way, perhaps she did. . “uh, can someone explain to me what is going on or what happened?”. She was walking towards the Ready Room. "Ensign, stop. If I'm not mistaken, you do not recognize some of the people here, right?" (Reply Rozen) "I'm sorry to say you have been displaced from reality. You are very likely in an alternate reality. The anomaly we have encountered, and perhaps you did too in your reality, seems to cross path with other realities, causing crew members to switch between them. Eleven of our crew members has disappeared, and it would seem another 13 from other reality just appeared here, and you are one of them. Now, I,m sorry about this and I know how it will make you feel, but since we all know there realities where the Terrians have been a conquering specie enslaving many, I have to ask you not to take offense and to cooperate fully." Jennifer said, nodding to the two security officers on the bridge. "Understand that has soon as we have clarified your story and we are certain you pose no threat to this ship, you will be free to help us. But until then, we can't take no chance."

Normally, he would have just waited after the meeting, but it was perhaps Lieutenant-Commander Jackson or Commander Syuvik. "Syuvik here." (Reply any) ~13, Syuvik thought... how many more are we going to find in the upcoming hour?~ "Understood. I am in the middle of a meeting. They are numerous enough I don't have the time to meet each appearing crew members individually. Send her down here in security for an analysis. If she has questions, have someone answer them." Syuvik said. "Since it is now the 13 apparition in the last hour, the number justify we establish a process for any new appearance. We need to have a few security teams tasked with meeting any new appearance and have them brought here in security. Also, warn me when we will be out of this anomaly." (Reply any). "Understood. Syuvik out." He then turned to the other senior staff. "13" Syuvik said. "It is possibly not the last. It is still unknown if they all appeared at the same time, or a different intervals.

At least his supposition barely an hour before seemed to have been borne out. ~At least I didn't give Commander Jackson incorrect information!~ he thought. Despite the tension of the moment, he couldn't quite suppress a grin at the Captain's statement about time being an issue. He used that as his launching point. "Captain, I'd say you've certainly hit upon the salient point. Time is absolutely critical, for a variety of reasons." He looked around and wondered how he might best make his point. "Sir, I'm not sure how much help my... opposite number will be in the investigation. I've spoken at some length with him, and he is firmly convinced that he is *already* where he belongs. His recollection is of leaving his cabin and his next memory is walking into engineering. Our engineering. In *this* timeline. Wait a minute..." He trailed off, trying to catch the fragmented thought he had just tripped over. He rubbed his fingers across his chin, thinking. Turning to the Soval's science officer, he voiced his question. "Mister Yeates, check my thought process a moment, would you please? If these crew members are in fact from another reality, or realities as the Captain has said -- and I think that's quite likely -- wouldn't they have a different..." he paused again, groping for the proper term to convey what he wanted. "A different... sub-molecular resonance perhaps? I mean, we're all attuned to our native realities -- at least that's my understanding of it -- aren't we? I recall telling Commander Matrix that the ship didn't 'feel' right when we crossed over to wherever we currently are, and as crazy as I thought the notion, I was right. The ship was, and still is, slightly out of phase with this reality. Certainly not enough to cause harm, at least not yet. But out of phase nonetheless. If these twelve displaced folks have a...

I was worry she had ever since they returned to the anamoly. ~ If this place can remove people from a ship than can't it put people on a ship,and if so would those people be hostile.~ It was the thought that kept every CTO up at night. Where the next threat would be coming from. Jackson had left the bridge to answer the chief engineer's call but when the Captain called an second intruder on his way to the bridge Jessica wasted no time springing into action. Handing her console over to the secondary security officer Jessica spangled into action and left the bridge. "Computer encrypt comm. to security team Alpha 6" The computer beeped then the team leader responded. =/\= Yes ma'am. =/\= "Meet me at bridge turbolift junction phase rifles set to maximum stun." The team leader acknowledged her order then the channel closed. Continuing on her way she opened a second secure channel "Signos to all Soval security teams a full ship search of all sections is to be conducted, no alarms, no open comms. If we have intruders on board that mean us harm we don't want them to know we are looking for them." Reaching her security team the team leader handed her a spar phase rifle. Which she promptly safety checked the slug across her back. "I want a secure perimeter but stay out of sight. I would rather avoid a fight." Jessica ordered her team. Walking up to the turbolift command console she entered the security code the would activate it and allow it to move once more. Jessica moved to the center of the corridor and move a good distance off the door waiting for the door to slide open. When the doors finally opened Jessica issued her order. "To the ensign with the turbolift you are hereby ordered to stand down, keep your hands in view and accompany me to the Security office. Any attempt to circumvent this order will result in force being used, and I assure you I am quite skilled in the application of force." There was a ice coldness to her voice that had froze the heart of more than one poor security officer that did not live to her standards.

There was a ice coldness to her voice that had froze the heart of more than one poor security officer that did not live to her standards. Alex was relieved when the turbolift doors slid open. He had been stuck in that tiny lift for hours and was ready to get out and move again. His relief turned to alarm when he heard the security officer's challenge, then to amusement when he saw her. The girl standing in front of him was barely a teenager. It wasn't unusual to find entire families on a Galaxy class ship, and the corner of Hartmann's mouth curled into the hint of a smile at the thought of someone's daughter playing Starfleet. Still, there was something in the tone of the young woman's voice that made Alex think she wasn't to be trifled with. Besides that, the uniform she was wearing seemed very convincing, and the rifle hanging on her back even more so. The grin fell from his face as he raised his hands. "I believe there's been some misunderstanding," Alex began. "My name is Alexander Hartmann, and I've been send to the Soval from the Academy. I have my orders right here." He reached for the PADD at his side, but stopped when he remembered it wasn't functioning. When he looked back at the girl, he saw her phaser rifle was now pointed squarely at his chest. He swallowed hard and raised his hands again. "You know what? Why don't I just accompany you to the security office?"
