02:11:02: <LtBrieJayde> ::AA::
02:11:37: <Capt_Crow> We begin tonight with good news and good news and bad news
02:11:49: <caressa> oh yeah..........not
02:11:53: <LtBrieJayde> Not sure I like that last part
02:12:12: <Capt_Crow> good news #1---Edra and Chance are on Bajor which Henry and Banks were supposed to join them soon when .....
02:12:34: <Capt_Crow> Good News #2 happened. We picked up the USS Khitomer on long range sensors.
02:13:02: <Capt_Crow> however, the Khitomer was lost almost eighty years ago with all hands.
02:13:15: <caressa> yeah I thought so
02:13:26: <Capt_Crow> As such we'll be sending an away team to investigate
02:13:26: <LtBrieJayde> Eighty years ago..
02:13:55: <Capt_Crow> And the ship doesn't have a scratch on it
02:14:39: <Capt_Crow> We begin with you two beaming over and if Constance returns, we'll send her over too.
02:14:40: <LtBrieJayde> Hmmm...
02:14:50: <caressa> oh yeah
02:15:10: <caressa> you forgot the bad news
02:15:18: <LtBrieJayde> Don’t make him say any bad news...
02:16:06: <Capt_Crow> The bad news is the 80 years part
02:16:11: <LtBrieJayde> Ah

02:17:07: <Capt_Crow> :::THE TRANSPORTER CHIEF SENDS THEM OVER:::
02:17:34: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pulls out tricorder the moment they are beamed over:: Of all the ships, the Khitomer..
02:17:48: <caressa> ::shimmer into something, scanning as she looks around::
02:18:02: <caressa> Its to quiet.
02:18:09: <Capt_Crow> :::INTERALLY THE SHIP SEEMS NORMAL. POWER IS ON, HALLWAYS ARE CLEAN, BUT TRICORDER ISN'T PICKING UP ANY LIFESIGNS::
02:18:34: <caressa> Why do we get ourselves in these messes. Bridge?
02:18:46: <LtBrieJayde> Far to quiet, but with no life signs, that would be why. ::Nods:: Best place most likely.
02:18:55: <LtBrieJayde> (WB Constance!)
02:19:09: <LtConstance> ( thanks got booted)
02:19:28: <Capt_Crow> (You're with them on the 80 year old ship)
02:19:49: <caressa> Lets head that way.

02:21:40: <LtBrieJayde> (We’re heading to the bridge
)02:22:01: <LtConstance> ( ok got turned around sorry)
02:22:06: <Capt_Crow> ::A young man looks at them and walks over:: Hello.
02:22:08: <LtBrieJayde> (Tis okay
)02:22:25: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods to the man:: Hello.
02:22:26: <caressa> Is this ship in need of assistance?
02:22:43: <LtConstance> " hello" I say to the young man
02:22:52: <Capt_Crow> Man> No, why would it? Those are some very distinct uniforms you have there.
02:23:06: <caressa> ::looks at the others::
02:23:13: <caressa> Thanks.
02:23:20: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks down at her uniform:: Right..::Looks at Constance and Caressa:: This just got a bit more interesting..
02:23:49: <Capt_Crow> Not as fancy as the last new crew we took on.
02:24:02: <LtConstance> " it sure did" :: looking at her uniform::
02:24:03: <LtBrieJayde> The..last crew?
02:24:14: <caressa> ::listening::
02:24:27: <Capt_Crow> ::He motioned to two women who were wearing different uniforms, about twenty years older than our modern ones:::
02:24:31: <caressa> +Melanick to Crow+
02:24:41: <Capt_Crow> +Caressa+ Go ahead.
02:24:53: <LtBrieJayde> ::Lets Caressa do her thing and nods:: Right. How long have they been here?
02:25:02: <caressa> +Crow+ Are you catching all this?
02:25:07: <Capt_Crow> Man> I think they came on...maybe a year ago?
02:25:17: <Capt_Crow> Man> The Captain would know.
02:25:36: <LtBrieJayde> Maybe you can explain why we can’t pick up any life signs?
02:25:51: <LtConstance> Not sure what to make of any of this
02:25:56: <Capt_Crow> +Caressa+ See...you...what's going.... ::his com, filled with static cuts out::
02:26:20: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances over to Caressa:: Naturally it cuts out, right?
02:26:25: <Capt_Crow> Man> We have a hundred and fifty people here, maybe your equipment is faulty. Looks like its some prototype.
02:26:39: <caressa> Wonderful, Com is out. Lets start there shall we?
02:26:53: <LtBrieJayde> ::Eyes her tricorder:: Prototype? ::Shakes her head::
02:27:08: <LtConstance> " prototype I don't think so"
02:27:14: <caressa> ::shakes her head:: Take us to your leader.
02:27:21: <Capt_Crow> ::AT THE END OF THE HALL A WOMAN WATCHES THEM WITH A CONCERNED LOOK, HER PIPS SHOW HER TO BE A LT CMDR:::
02:27:41: <LtBrieJayde> ::Notices the woman at the end of the hall and watches her for a moment::
02:27:48: <caressa> Excuse me Commander maybe you can help us.
02:27:49: <Capt_Crow> Man> ::Leads them to the TL, holding it for them all to enter:::
02:28:02: <Capt_Crow> ::The woman walks off:::
02:28:13: <caressa> :: entering the TL::
02:28:23: <LtBrieJayde> ::Sighs:: I guess we go. ::Gets into the turbolift::
02:28:25: <LtConstance> :: entering the Tl bit confused::
02:28:46: <caressa> Why do we get ourselves in these messes. Its got to be karma.
02:28:54: <LtConstance> :: eye on everything and everyone::
02:29:20: <Capt_Crow> ::A moment later they step out onto a vintage but very active Bridge:::
02:29:23: <caressa> ::continues to scan non chalantly::
02:29:38: <Capt_Crow> Man> So, what ship do you serve on?
02:29:46: <LtBrieJayde> ::Kicks tricorder onto active scan and pockets it, stepping out onto the bridge::
02:29:56: <LtConstance> :: stays on alert :: " Uss Mercuto
02:30:07: <Capt_Crow> Man> Hmm...never heard of it.
02:30:15: <caressa> ::looks around as they step onto the bridge::
02:30:32: <LtBrieJayde> Possibly because it is..eighty or so years younger than this one?
02:30:39: <LtConstance> :: stepping out onto the bridge ready for anything ::
02:31:01: <caressa> ::looks are Brie:; younger?
02:31:02: <Capt_Crow> Man> :::he chuckled:: Cute and funny.
02:31:38: <LtBrieJayde> ::Raises an eyebrow at the man, then looks to Caressa:: Well, give or take. The Merc is younger than this ship based on when it was launched.
02:31:41: <Capt_Crow> ::The Captain, a middle aged man with piercing blue eyes stood from his center chair.:: Visitors?
02:31:45: <caressa> This thing is ancient.
02:32:18: <caressa> You could say that yes! CMO Caressa Melanick.
02:32:43: <caressa> USS Mercuto.
02:32:53: <LtConstance> " we thought their was no one aboard"
02:32:54: <LtBrieJayde> ::Turns to the captain:: Lieutenant Brielle Jayde. Tactical. ::Looks around the bridge some more::
02:33:11: <Capt_Crow> Captain Thomas Vallone, USS Khitomer.
02:33:37: <caressa> Your lifesigns did not register on our systems.
02:33:45: <Capt_Crow> Capt> Why don't we go speak in the briefing room? ::he motioned to a room to their right::
02:34:05: <LtConstance> :: looks at the Captain:: Lieutenant Constance Stewart Security
02:34:21: <caressa> Sounds like a wonderful plan. ::smiling on the outside, but wondering on the inside::
02:34:23: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks to the other two and shrugs:: Probably best.
02:34:28: <Capt_Crow> ::The Woman who watched them below exits the lift behind them::
02:34:33: <LtConstance> " why not"
02:34:40: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances behind her::
02:35:07: <Capt_Crow> ::The Captain leads them into the room:::
02:35:15: <caressa> ::gave Brie the I seen that too look::
02:35:40: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods to Caressa and follows to the room::
02:35:57: <Capt_Crow> :::The woman follows, staying by the door when it closes::
02:36:11: <caressa> ::not likely this at all::
02:36:18: <LtConstance> ::hearing the doors open and shut does the same walking into the Briefing Room on alert ready to fight if need be::
02:36:21: <caressa> *liking
02:36:27: <Capt_Crow> Capt> ::Stands by the viewport, the space outside seeming to have a purple haze to it::
02:36:44: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks where the captain is looking:: I..don’t remember any purple haze..
02:37:00: <caressa> Me either come to think of it.
02:37:18: <Capt_Crow> Capt> I would appreciate it if you didn't make the remarks about whatever time you come from around my crew.
02:37:33: <LtConstance> " this is to "
02:37:40: <Capt_Crow> Woman> ::Her eyes cold:: You don't belong here.
02:38:03: <LtConstance> " ok why not "
02:38:03: <LtBrieJayde> ::Snaps eyes to the woman:: I take it you two know what is going on then.
02:38:12: <caressa> ::looks at the Capt:: Well that goes without saying.
02:38:18: <Capt_Crow> Capt> I told her...as I do every time.
02:38:40: <LtConstance> :: watching the woman::
02:39:21: <Capt_Crow> Capt> Unfortnately you're going to be here with us for good.
02:39:39: <caressa> Yeah I don't think so.
02:39:41: <LtBrieJayde> And why is that? I can’t stay here, I have an infant son.
02:39:54: <Capt_Crow> Captain> I trust you have tried to communicate to your people?
02:39:58: <LtConstance> " I don't think somCaptain
02:40:05: <LtBrieJayde> And it worked originally.
02:40:11: <caressa> Yes out Comm cut out
02:40:20: <caressa> *our
02:40:45: <Capt_Crow> Captain> It won't let you leave. We've taken on new crew before, people who like you came here and then were marooned.
02:41:03: <caressa> It wont.............what is it?
02:41:11: <LtBrieJayde> Our crew won’t maroon us. ::Leans against a wall and crosses her arms::
02:41:27: <caressa> He dosent know us very well does he.
02:41:29: <Capt_Crow> Capt> If it makes you feel any better, when this ship explodes, you won't remember your former lives. You'll think you've always been here.
02:41:45: <LtBrieJayde> Wait, what?
02:41:49: <LtConstance> " what explodes"
02:41:55: <caressa> Oh wonderful.
02:42:11: <LtBrieJayde> Then how is it that you remember everything?
02:42:16: <caressa> Sounds like a temporal time loop.
02:42:24: <Capt_Crow> Captain> In our travels, we encountered a very powerful being. He might as well have been God himself.
02:42:45: <caressa> God I hope it wasn't Q
02:43:07: <LtConstance> That's what I was thinking
02:43:09: <Capt_Crow> Captain> He was rebuffed by my executive officer...::he motioned to the woman::
02:43:32: <caressa> I like a girl who puts a man in his place.
02:43:38: <LtBrieJayde> There has to be a way for us to get back. We have families back home, and I don’t plan on forgetting about them!
02:43:40: <Capt_Crow> Capt> So he cursed us...cursed me....because she and I were...are....::he chuckled:: I don't even know what to call it anymore.
02:44:33: <Capt_Crow> Captain> I get to experience her dying, everyone dying, and then do it all over again. After the first, decade or so I finally needed to tell someone so every time I open my eyes to the nightmare I inform her of what will come.
02:44:47: <caressa> Did he give you a name?
02:44:52: <caressa> who he was
02:45:01: <Capt_Crow> Capt> No. He just appeared one day.
02:45:08: <LtBrieJayde> ::Still against the wall, obviously angry about the situation::
02:45:15: <LtConstance> Can the curse be broken
02:45:39: <Capt_Crow> Capt> If it can I don't know how. And you have...about twenty minutes before none of this matters.
02:45:56: <caressa> Oh ****, wonderful.
02:46:07: <caressa> Henry is going to pay for this one.
02:46:22: <caressa> ::rubs her temples::
02:46:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Groans:: We’re getting out of here, I don’t care what it takes.
02:46:55: <LtConstance> This is just perfect just perfect we have to find a way out and back to our ship
02:47:01: <caressa> How long does the loop occur? start to finish.
02:47:18: <Capt_Crow> One day.
02:47:36: <LtBrieJayde> Over and over, the same day..
02:47:39: <caressa> Does he show up everyday?
02:48:32: <Capt_Crow> No, he doesn't come back anymore. I feel like the sick bastard just watches us.
02:48:53: <LtBrieJayde> I take it you have this talk with all the new people?
02:48:55: <caressa> most likely. Just like a little boy gets tired of his toys
02:49:18: <Capt_Crow> I feel its only fair. Give you a chance to make peace.
02:49:28: <Capt_Crow> Like I said, tomrorow you'll think you've always been here.
02:49:31: <LtBrieJayde> No, I want my son!
02:49:49: <Capt_Crow> So did I. ::His eyes when to the woman::
02:50:02: <Capt_Crow> ::her stern expression broke for a moment and she turned away::
02:50:19: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks between the two::
02:50:27: <caressa> Not if I can help it. ::picks up her tricorder:; I knew there was a reason I uploaded new stuff to this thing :; starts tapping buttons::
02:50:45: <LtConstance> No I won't let's this happen
02:50:52: <LtBrieJayde> Caressa..what new stuff?
02:51:04: <caressa> Oh a few toys I brought back with me.
02:51:16: <caressa> might help.
02:51:29: <LtConstance> I hope so
02:51:39: <LtBrieJayde> ::Walks over to her, looking over her shoulder::
02:51:43: <caressa> Capt. Can I look at your ops station? Or access it from in here?
02:52:20: <Capt_Crow> ::He motioned to a panel::
02:52:46: <caressa> Its a temporal shift device. I don't know if it will work or not, but its worth a try. I was working on it when I left star fleet. Or when I was forced out.
02:53:13: <LtBrieJayde> Temporal shift device…if it can get us back..I’ll owe you.
02:53:34: <caressa> :;Caressa scans the ops panel with the tricorder, taps a few buttons,:: No promises.
02:53:53: <caressa> Might piss Mr. whats his name off.
02:54:09: <Capt_Crow> Man> ::The younger man who had met them before enters, walking over:: What's that supposed to do?
02:54:12: <LtConstance> If you can get us back home Doc
02:54:23: <LtBrieJayde> ::Smirks:: Then I’m all for it. ::Eyes the man who came up and doesn’t say anything::
02:55:01: <LtConstance> :: watches the man watches the dr::
02:55:32: <caressa> :: the tricorder screen starts to change color:: It just enhances some of your systems. Not a big deal. :: then she smiles::
02:56:06: <caressa> :;starts tapping buttons on the console::
02:56:18: <Capt_Crow> Man> :::He pulls a phaser:: Stop that. You're doing something to the ship.
02:56:37: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pulls her own phaser:: DOn’t even think about it.
02:56:54: <caressa> Oh god someone take his ass out we don't need this ****.
02:57:26: <Capt_Crow> Man> Captain....you can't allow this.
02:57:33: <caressa> :: she moves to the tactical station to send out a tachyon burst.::
02:57:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Keeps it aimed at the man::
02:58:12: <Capt_Crow> Man> :::looks at them:: It won't work. ::his voice is different, darker.:::
02:58:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Ups the power on her phaser, ready to fire::
02:58:45: <caressa> Imagine that must be the little boy.
02:59:11: <caressa> I am messing with his toys.
02:59:21: <Capt_Crow> Man> ::looks directly at Brie, but when he speaks it's Zimm's voice:: Why didn't you save me?
02:59:38: <caressa> ::rolls her eyes::
02:59:48: <caressa> That's all you got, voices.
02:59:52: <LtBrieJayde> He doesn’t seem to like that much, does he? ::Stops, hearing the voice, but knows it isn’t right, but is shaking:: No..you’re not him.. ::Keeps phaser trained::
03:00:00: <caressa> I figured you could do so much better than that.
03:00:03: <LtConstance> Quickly pulls her Phaser out and trains it on the man as well
03:00:13: <Capt_Crow> Man> Kill her and I'll take you back, and I'll give him back to you. ::he smiled::
03:00:36: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shakes her head:: No. ::Still shaking::
03:00:39: <caressa> Nice try.
03:00:54: <caressa> Brie he is just a ass and not Zimm
03:01:08: <caressa> He is making you one of his toys.
03:01:10: <Capt_Crow> Man> How about your two children? There's a lot of people who'd like to know where they are.
03:01:26: <caressa> Go ahead. I am not worried
03:01:31: <LtBrieJayde> I know. I haven’t heard that voice in far to many months. ::Does her best to shake it off::
03:01:38: <LtConstance> I look at the man " I ought to shoot you"
03:01:58: <Capt_Crow> Man> ::looks at Constance:: When your father finds out what you've done.....::low whistle::
03:02:17: <LtBrieJayde> You think you scare us, just by getting into our heads? Playing on our fears?
03:02:28: <LtConstance> " oh please he's dead besides I'm not worried about him
03:02:36: <caressa> Someone shoot him and shut him up. Although that most likely wont work.
03:02:52: <LtBrieJayde> ::Grumbles and fires::

03:04:05: <LtBrieJayde> Of course it didn’t work ::Keeps a steady phaser shot going::
03:04:06: <caressa> Dang I knew it. Not Human.
03:04:20: <Capt_Crow> Helm> Sir, we have them, I don't know from where though.
03:04:25: <Capt_Crow> Transport!
03:04:37: <Capt_Crow> Man> You're all going to die now....slowly.
03:04:44: <LtBrieJayde> No, we aren’t.
03:04:55: <caressa> Yea don't think so little man!
03:05:02: <Capt_Crow> :::THE THREE OF THEM ARE TRANSPORTED OUT WHEN A SMALL OPENING IN THE PURPLE FIELD OPENS::

03:07:43: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods a little:: Yeah.
03:07:52: <LtConstance> Holy crap I never want to do that again
03:08:04: <caressa> pinches Henry:: You are real right?
03:08:22: <Capt_Crow> Ow!
03:08:41: <caressa> Sorry, its not purple out there is it?
03:08:50: <caressa> Just had to make sure.
03:08:52: <LtConstance> Looking around the bridge everything looks normal
03:08:52: <LtBrieJayde> We gotta be sure. Whoever it was that got us there..played tricks on our minds, or tried to.
03:09:07: <Capt_Crow> What kind of tricks?
03:09:19: <caressa> He used our fears against us
03:09:46: <LtConstance> But it didn't work
03:09:55: <LtBrieJayde> And tried to use Zimm against me, saying if I shot Caressa that he’d take me back to him, to him being alive. ::Shakes her head:: And in his voice too.
03:10:17: <caressa> The poor Khitomer runs the same day every day then explodes
03:10:32: <caressa> They have taken on other crews too
03:10:35: <LtConstance> Tried to use my step father against me
03:10:44: <LtBrieJayde> If you’re on board when it explodes, you wake up thinking you belong there and don’t knwo any different.
03:10:51: <Capt_Crow> How'd you escape?
03:11:08: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods to Caressa:: Ask her. ::Finds her normal seat and sits with a heavy sigh::
03:11:12: <LtConstance> Good ol doc had a trick up her sleeve
03:11:26: <caressa> I created a tachyon burst hoping you would see it, I enhanced it a bit.
03:11:37: <caressa> with some new stuff I brought along.
03:11:49: <Capt_Crow> Good work. Though I doubt that device you used is standard issue.
03:12:11: <caressa> Nope you are correct.
03:12:14: <LtConstance> ::walks over to the seat at her station and sits down still shaking a little from that thing::
03:12:34: <caressa> Just hope it dosent decide to play with us.
03:12:39: <caressa> I wasn't very nice to it.
03:12:54: <Capt_Crow> Shocking.
03:12:57: <caressa> I think that had a lot to do with it too. Kind of powered it down.
03:12:59: <Capt_Crow> ::he tried to hide a smirk::
03:13:16: <caressa> its my winning personality.
03:13:48: <LtBrieJayde> Hope no one else gets caught in that trap...
