In reply to Katherine Seward (msg # 143):

"I do what I can," Taylor replied.  Kate wasn't one to speak out of turn needlessly, so she had to have some insight.  The Q, Kate had said.  Taylor hoped she was right as called, "MacKenzie to the bridge.  I was contacted by Katherine Seward who said we needed to generate a field similar to that of Maria Seward against the intruders.  She said a Q told her and more will be coming.  Please advise."

In reply to Taylor MacKenzie (msg # 144):

Tapping on his comm badge, Message received, "Transmit all known medical scans and information for Ms. Seward to Science and Engineering." He closed off the communication and under his breath he said, "Couldn't we have something simple and straight forward like a Cardiassian invasion?"  Standing and moving to the center of the bridge, "Commander to Holodeck 1, Top Priority, Chief Blatt and Commander sh'Elliaph, We have an situationthat requires your assistance.  There  is an intruder that seems to be affected by the chronitons and we need to modify the shield to match whatever is going on with Ms. Seward.  This also may solve our issues with the Time jumps.  Transmitting her data now."

In reply to Decker Geary (msg # 145):

"zh'Idrani to Bridge," Nynev spoke over comms.  "Both have been creatures have been dealt with.  As per Mr. Tekar's suggestion, please advise."

"sh'Elliaph to bridge, transmitting configuration to realign fields and transmit proper field external to the ship. Please implement as follows..." Thani verbally says what needs to happen as well as send a copy for the ships' records and science team records.

In reply to Thani sh'Elliaph (msg # 147):

Geary turning his char to face the Science station, "Tzerak, Implement Commander sh'Elliaph's recommendation, now." Tapping his comm badge, Geary responds to the other request, "Lt, zh'Idrani, get them in containment fields, hopefully they wont dissappear on us. Send one to Bioscience and one to medical."

OOC:

Thanks to the particle dispersal, no more critters show up.  Sensors will show, however, signs of a gathering of them around where the anomaly is, apparently drawn to it by the tachyon and chroniton particle flow, consistent with the scans taken by Bio-sciences of the two killed in the shuttle bay.

Careful analysis of Maria Seward shows her "warding" of tachyon and chroniton particles extends roughly 1 meter around her, though the exact reason is still unknown.  The visor devised for her functions and she is able to see without pain, though it is rather unfashionable.

After an hour of rushed work, Bart and Thani will have constructed a device to force the anomaly shut.  Time is a factor as the anomaly continues to grow.  Delay risks the anomaly growing beyond the enclosures ability to contain it.

In reply to Your Loving GM (msg # 149):

Geary breathed a needed sigh of relief, he knew the most important, as well as dangerous,  dangerous task was before them, but to get this far was a miracle in itsself. He turned on the intercom "Good work everyone, but no time to rest just yet.  We need to get the device and the team on the shuttle and over to the B'rel as quickly as possible. Lt. Keyes, I will need you to pilot the shuttle, Chief Blatt, you will be needed to install the device. Ensign Walker and Lt. Davis, You will provide secuiryt and assist Chief Blatt with the instalation of the device. As for the rest of the crew, be on the alert in case there are more of these Phase-Bugs still on board." 

PM response

Vanna heads to the shuttle bay to prep the shuttle for launch.

In reply to Vanna Marie Keyes (msg # 152):

Pondering a bit, "Commander sh'Elliaph, You will need to go as well to make sure the frequencies and tolerance are all within range and that there are no adverse affects once the containment device has been placed."

Some points as you plan things:

- There's been zero sign of the 3rd B'rel.  It's almost certainly run off.

- The Mihoshi will have to drop its warp bubble to let any shuttles out.  But dropping the warp bubble exposes it to possible temporal distortion waves again.  Right now, they're pulsing about 1/minute.

- The shuttles have warp too so they can generate their own warp field if a distortion wave comes.  Timing will matter, as will piloting the shuttle.  And suffice to say, warp systems aren't really mean for repeated rapid stop/start.

- As noted before, there have been no more critters on the Mihoshi, but sensors detect a number of similar lifeforms (now that you know what to look for) near the anomaly.

- A side note, with the B'Rel cargo bay open, a skilled shuttle pilot can get a Type 6 in there. A bit cozy, but could help logistically.

Since they had a hour before they would leave, Jason decided to gather up what he would need first. The sword hepicked brought back a flash of memory and sighed. Leaving that and what other items he would take with him, he went off to search for Naoko.

He had, until then, forgot about the flashback or what ever it was. So he checked Engineering first to see if she was there and if not, he would pinpoint her using the computer and go to her. Hopefully she wasn't busy.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 155):

It took time and bit of searching to track her down, but eventually Jason found Naoko heading back to Engineering from MedBay.  "Hey, Jason," she said.  "I hear you had quite the time out on the shuttle and in the shuttle bay."

In reply to Naoko Kusaragi (msg # 156):

Jason nodded, making a face. "Yea, they shrugged off phaser fire so I had to beat one down with a spanner. Believe me, its not the easiest thing to do."

He looked down a moment in thought then back up, brows furrowed. "Can we talk Naoko? Privately?" As if there really was any place on the ship that could be considered that.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 157):

"Um, yeah, sure," Naoko replied uncertain what Jason needed to discuss.  Looking around, she saw the door to one of the defensive sensor array room.  "In here," she said leading him inside, then faced him, no more certain than before.  "So we're 'privately' now.  What's this about?"

Jason followed her in, not really looking around as he found a spot to lean on and cross his arms. For a little he said nothing then sighed. "Those events that happened... one of them seemed to be a memory from the past. The second time was.... a nightmare sort of..."

"Remember when we spared with our weapons in the holodeck? It was that but when it happened you were laying there on the floor... there was so much blood... I tried to stop it and call for medical..." He bit his lip at that point, fidgeting as his expression went to pained. There was more but this concerned her.

Thani waited for the fabrication to complete. Eager to see the device in practice.


Bart would see a smile plastered on her face.

When the Commander said she had to go, "Aye sir. I will make sure this rift closes and is contained."

---

Been told we're ready to go.

"Commander, we are ready to go," Thani says over com badge.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 159):

"B-Blood...?" Jason had Naoko clearly unsettled as he described what was apparently her death.  "W-Why are you telling me this?"

Jason didn't have a answer at first for her. "Why? Because it scared me," he finally said. "I didn't want to lose you to something like that. I can accept my own damned stupidity but not that..." He shrugged a little as if trying to brush it off but it disturbed him a lot to have seen that.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 162):

"Where did it happen, then?  When?" Naoko asked.  Jason couldn't just throw this at her with no context.  "Am I supposed to avoid this?  What am I saying, of course I want to avoid it!  And are you saying you got me killed?"

Jason's head snapped up. For a moment he stared at her. "Oh, I look'd at m'watch t'see what the day and time were," he drawled out. "With all that s'going on Naoko, you'd understand better than me all this mess."

Jason sighed sharply, frustrated, and took a deep breath to control just how upset he had gotten. "What ever the hell it was, Naoko, I have no intention of hurting you like that. Ever." And now she was upset and he had no idea what to say to her. As if he would have intentionally hurt her. They were close friends, right?

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 164):

Jason's accent only leaked out when he was emotional and its thickness only showed up much he was and it unnerved Naoko.  Then she grasped what he was implying and it took her from unnerved to afraid.  "You...?  You killed me?"

He went still a moment at her question. Did he kill her? He had no clue. It was all a jumble and confusing still to him.

"The flash hit us an the next thing I know I'm standing there with a sword covered in blood and you were down, bleeding on the floor," Jason said quietly. "I don't know what happened and I couldn't stop the bleeding..." He shook his head and his shoulders slumped.

"Maybe I should go," he said and started to turn to leave. He had no idea why he even told her that. To him the whole thing seemed surreal and fake.

In reply to Jason Walker (msg # 166):

"Maybe?"  It wasn't a request or suggestion, but a question.  Naoko didn't know what to make of what Jason told her.  By his description, at point in the future he had killed her with a sword and that made no sense.  Not unless he was hiding a part of himself from her she didn't know and she found herself a bit afraid.  "I, uh, need to get back to work anyways.  You know, Chief Blatt's still working with Lt. Cmdr sh'Elliaph to build that device.  I should go..."

In reply to Naoko Kusaragi (msg # 167):

Maybe, because he suddenly felt like he was bothering her and that wasn't what he wanted. Her words seemed to stab at him and he just nodded. "Have to go back over to the B'Rel anyways," he said almost dully and walked off.
