Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> ::chime-chime-chime:: Keb -> ::drops a screwdriver and sighs as it clatters down to the ground, about ten feet below:: Sovak -> I do hope you have not compromised any safety standards to acheive this unprecidented result.

I saw McFly and Precip enter the Ready Room, any scuttlebutt? Mitar Precip -> Question a Flag officer on his ship..in time of.war....well alternate universe war. Ian_Syndrx -> It might have.

The Command Staff is Pleased to Present The Meritorious Achievement Award for Exceptional Logs to Malcolm Escher for What Lies Beneath the Waters

Attack of the Temporal Agents a Joint Log by Cmdrs Precip and Farrington Cmdr Jami Farrington had finally torn herself away from a barrage of paperwork. Well, PADDwork, really, but they called it paperwork. It was a hangover from earlier times when actual paper piled on desktops, in drawers, and often strewed across the floor when mishandled, all evil, all meant to aggravate the handler. These days everything was electronic, but somehow PADDwork didn’t have the same ring, so the term paperwork had survived. But electronic or not, it still aggravated the handler. The extent of damage to Manticore from their quantum slipstream trip between universes demanded documentation, recommendations, and requisitions that had taken one full duty cycle to complete, after which she had dragged her worn, bedraggled body to Maturin Station’s best attribute - the only franchise of Five Male Humanoids this side of Risa. It wasn’t hard to find. Just follow your nose. And she wasn’t disappointed. Her non-replicated bacon cheeseburger dripped just enough juice through the condiments and over the lettuce and tomato to tease the most ardent gourmet. A basket of cajun fries sat beside it, each fresh, crisp, crunchy piece begging to be the first devoured. The Coke, served in glass on the station, clinked with pure, clear ice cubes, a definite upgrade from ship-side replicated drinks that came pre-chilled to an exact temperature in insulated cups. Jami had just balanced the burger enough to take her first bite when she noticed two hopelessly bureaucratic humans walk past the greeter and make a beeline to her table. A tall man paired with a shorter woman who carried a small briefcase. Both dressed in business attire, but wore Federation comm badges - authoritative, yet standing out oddly amongst the others in the restaurant. Trying to ignore them, Jami took a large bite and closed her eyes in ecstasy, hoping they were a bad dream, or at least that they would move on. “Excuse us... Commander? We are from FDTIAUC, Federation Department of Temporal Investigations and Alternate Universe Contacts.” The male human was speaking. “I am agent Dulmer..this is Agent Lucsly.” Talk about ruining a good burger. Dabbing at the mustard that had begun to run down the corners of her mouth, Jami gave each a polite nod and continued to chew, hoping they would disappear. But they stayed. Flashed their badges, too. “May we join you?” said Lucsly. Jami struggled to finish her bite and spit out an emphatic no, but they were so good they made a temporal jump look bad. In half a second they were seated on the other side of the table, pulling various paraphernalia from the briefcase. Jami’s smile was genial but noncommittal. It could have been a what the heck, go for it smile, but it was really a we’ll see about that smile. Lucsly was slim, prim, and very proper. Every silky brunette strand of hair obeyed her command. Her collar, her skirt, her perfectly manicured nails screamed official. In contrast, Dulmer was a bit more relaxed, though just as proper. He seemed to be just doing his job, as opposed to Lucsly, who seemed to be totally absorbed in it. Lucsly opened her case to reveal a rather sophisticated PADD, a model Jami hadn’t seen before, but there was a lot she’d not seen on Maturin. She picked up a fry and munched it from stem to stern to help her relax - and look relaxed. And maybe let them know she was trying to have a relaxing dinner.... “We are here on behalf of the Consul General's office,” Dulmer began. Jami nodded politely. Explains the suits. “Consul General Yendis was extremely wise to station an office of the FDTIAUC onboard Maturin Station, given the nature of the operations conducted by the vessels that are stationed here,” said Lucsly. “Your recent...mission has proven our new Consul General has excellent foresight.” “We have recently reviewed the report to the Consul General, who alerted us immediately when she noted that an Alternate... Universe... Contact occurred.” Lucsly drew out Alternate Universe Contact and let it hang, as though it were a dirty word, giving Jami a flash-back to the Principal’s office in elementary school. Then Lucsly stopped, as though waiting for Jami’s response. “Really,” said Jami. Not a question. Not an admission of anything. A mere comment as she reached for another fry, trying to appear nonchalant to those at nearby tables. “Somehow I don’t believe this is the time or the place for this discussion,” she said quietly, her eyes taking in the crowd around them, an estimated composite of three different starships presently docked at Maturin. Special Operations aside, not every person on the station had the clearance needed for such things. If anyone knew this, surely Dulmer and Lucsly did. Seeming to ignore Jami’s comments, Lucsly immediately turned her attention to her case and activated some sort of device. “Of course we would be amiss to express our sincere regrets over the personnel losses you suffered,” added Dulmer, just enough sympathy to his voice to make his regret believable. Jami stopped chewing and swallowed hard. Sincere regrets? They had no idea. Her eyes narrowed as she pushed her burger basket away in disgust and tossed her napkin on the table. “This... conversation... is over,” she said quietly, standing slowly, trying not to draw the attention of those close by. “If you have any questions, we may meet in my office. At the moment... I am off duty. I suggest you honor that and make an appointment.” As she made her exit, she missed the looks Lucsly and Dulmer gave each other as Lucsly firmly closed and locked her case. To them, the conversation was not over, and the appointment would not be made with her, but with the Consul General.

The Command Staff is pleased to Present The Meritorious Achievement Award for Exceptional Logs to Ian Syndrx for his log, Tears Not For Myself

Upon returning to Maturin Station - the Hub of the Federation's Black Ops fleet - the crew of Manticore learned of the assassination of Consul General Yendis by the Arcturans. Starfleet Intelligence reported that Arcturus was massing its fleet along the border and that several incursions into Federation space had occurred, though they were of no consequence. In the light of these events, a state of war now exists between the Federation and Arcturus. In preparation for its mission to attack and destroy an Arcturan shipyard near the Federation border, the Manticore has received a massive refit that includes additional quantum cannon, double the number of torpedo launchers, three times the number of phaser emitters, and an enhanced power plant to handle the extra power demands of these armaments. In addition, they improved the regeneration time for the hull armor nanites and beefed up the fighters - Griffin and Wyvern. The Manticore has crossed into Arcturan space en route to the shipyard. It passed one Arcturan warship that was patrolling the border, but Manticore's cloak and silent running insured they were not detected. Still a day from their destination, they plan, monitor, and privately consider the physical, political, ethical, and moral consequences of their actions.

USS Manticore Mission Update - October 18, 2010 The Manticore is docked at Maturin Station, the Federation's secure rendezvous for its Special Operations fleet. As it undergoes repairs, the crew enjoys some much needed R&R.

=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #630, STARDATE 51010.11 =/\= The Manticore has just returned from a parallel universe that was almost identical to our own.

Then it's Eva's turn. LtCdrFaldek -> Well I haven't even checked on him or anything as soon as we docked i came over to the station. Sovak -> Engineers always over estimate repair times.

Trapped in the Void In everything there is a pause, a time when there is nothing before there is something, a gathering breath before a decision is made whether to proceed, to return, or to cease altogether. Such is the nature of the universe. Such is the nature of things seen and things unseen. Between beats, the heart rests. Between breaths, the diaphragm relaxes. Between thoughts there is a period of thoughtless indecision, a void waiting to be filled, a spark caught mid-way from one synapse to another. And through it all – between the beats, the breaths, and the thoughts – there is the void. Like the void between living and dying, when the body is no longer alive and not yet dead. The consciousness – that which makes us who we are, that which distinguishes us from others in the universe – has left, but the heart continues to beat, the diaphragm contracts and relaxes, the body fights to maintain the status quo, to keep the body going despite the absence of its most vital component. It is the void between being and becoming, a void as small as a thought and as great as a chasm. And what better place for Jami Farrington to ponder these things than in the MedLab, just outside the morgue, where so many bodies lay battered from their transition through the void, from one reality to another. Beyond the door lay the body of Ian Syndrx - dead in that reality, alive in this one. Between thumb and forefinger, Jami held a DNA sample taken from her body - dead in that reality, alive in this one. “You’re late.” Jeremy Stone half-sat on the counter next to Jami and crossed his arms as though waiting for... something. She had been aware of a presence beside her, but had ignored her colleague in favor of turning the DNA sample over in her hands, then tracing its outline with one finger, as though the very act would change it somehow, would make it not hers. “I know.” She continued to stare. To trace. “I thought you’d be one of the first down here.” The implied question being Why are you here now? Why are you here... at all? He’d probably been though this conversation at least a thousand times since retrieving the samples from the destroyed Manticore. The Manticore from the other universe, from the alternate reality conceived by taking another path, born through making another decision, or turning a different way than they had in the reality they knew as home. He was older, and had pretty much seen it all - or at least a heck of a lot more than most. Easy-going. No-nonsense. Jami knew him well enough to know that he was letting his unease seep through for a darned good reason. There was a warning behind it. He knew what she was thinking and the subtext of his body language was clear. You’re losing it. Don’t go there. The last half hour of staring, of pondering the imponderable, of contorting her brain until it hurt had not changed the DNA samples. They were still hers, a part of her... and not a part of her. She was caught in the void. “Let it go, Jami.” Let it go. Could she? Would she ever? “Let it go.” Gently, he prodded the sample from her, holding her hand in his until she stood and turned to face him, still lost, trapped by a puzzle she’d never solve. “We’re home. That’s all that matters.”

If you leave dishes in the sink they breed. When you come back there are twice as many.

Now on to 101101 - double lols day!

USS Manticore Mission Update - October 4, 2010 After extensive review of the evidence, it was determined that the USS Manticore and crew had somehow slipped into a parallel universe, one in which Admiral Atragon was still a captain, there existed a war between the Federation and Arcturus, and the Manticore had been destroyed with a loss of all hands in an attempt to neutralize the Arcturuian threat to the Federation. To return to the proper time line, they located the swiftly-moving dust storm that held the portal. Using untested and dangerously unpredictable slipstream technology, they barely navigated the distance, emerging badly damaged on the other side. Sitting dead in space, Maturin Station came to them. They are presently undergoing repairs. Strangely enough, Science Officer Ian Syndrx, who was killed in the chaos during the slipstream transfer, met the ship at Maturin Station.

=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #629, STARDATE 51010.04 =/\= The Manticore had slipped into a parallel universe that is almost identical to our own. Science has verified that this occurred when the ship passed through a dust storm on its way to Maturin Station over two weeks ago. We found the same storm and Science used a slipstream system and the storm's unique properties to get home. We have successfully navigated the slipstream tunnel with the ship sustaining great damage. We have been in contact with Consul General Yendis and help is on the way.

=/\= USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #628, STARDATE 51009.27 =/\= The Manticore has slipped into a parallel universe that is almost identical to our own. Science has verified that this occurred when the ship passed through a dust storm on its way to Maturin Station almost two weeks ago. We have now found the same storm again and Science hopes to use a slipstream system and the storm's unique properties to get home. Yet the storm is dissapating quickly and the slipstream test has failed. We only have one chance to get out of this universe, and it's coming at us too soon.
