= Manticore has been sent to Starbase 23 near the Romulan neutral zone to confirm a new weapon designed against the Changelings. Along the way, they received a distress call, the sender of which claims to be the son of Captain McFly and Commander Kenickie but DNA tests conclude that Erich is the real father. = starfleet

::Trying not to get too emotional after Tevek's realization; looks him in the eye:: Ar-are... you sure?

:: Looks at Erich ::

::still on the bridge, unaware of the goings on in sickbay::

:: Looks at Gila, shakes his head ::

That can't be true

::nods:: The test results are clear, Captain. You may review them for yourself, if you wish. ::offers PADD to the Captain::

:: Is still looking over the runabout's main console, downloading the data to his tricorder with its link to the ships computer disabled ::

::holding KK's rifle::

Well, there are signs of Betazoid markers in the sequences.

Timelines...

+ Faldek + Tyrel to Faldek...

Is this an alternate timeline?

::looks at the tests not entirely sure how to read them but can clearly see Erich Jaenke's name on there; walks over to Nathan and slaps the padd into his chest causing him to wince just a little:: Is this true?!

+Tyrel+ Faldek here

::looks at the Security Officers:: Whatever you hear in here is strictly confidential. If anything is leaked. You're going on report no questions asked.

::scanning consoles with Calli and Harnett:: (edited)

::walks away into the CMO's office::

::raises eyebrow at Captain's reaction, wonders if he should mention that he needs that PADD back::

:: Sees Kansas enter her office, but remains where she is ::

:: Looks at his son :: Sorry, we are all new at this.

+ Faldek+ Sir we are downloading to a tricorder the ...data from the Modified Runabout. Sir, I recommend the utmost caution in dealing with any code or data from this Computer system. It's coding could be compromised.

::reads the padd; pauses a beat:: ...Yes but you have to understand--

::to SO:: Stow the rifle in the armory for now.

::cuts him off:: The truth! Now!

::nods and exits to the armory::

+Tyrel+ I concur, when you download it from the tricorder place it on a partitioned storage for analysis.

::After pondering what to do for a minute, heads back to the biobed Nathaniel is on and resumes monitoring the display::

:: Experiencing a new set of high emotions from everyone around ::

::nods, walks over to Calli::

::sighs:: I did tell you the truth. You are my father... ::looks over at Erich:: But Erich is my biological father.

:: looks to Harnett and Annika :: I don't trust this set up at all guys...

21:09

+ Faldek + Understood.

::Hides in the corner::

::takes a deep breath; dealing with a ton of revelations in a short amount of time::

+Faldek + Tyrel out...

::nods:: yeah..

::walks over to Tevek:: Doctor, a word please.

:: Nods as he looks up from the tricorder :: That is logical... Borg technology is quite unpredictable.

Mr. Harnett...let me know when you are satsified we have what we need...Do you need a larger device to accomidate the data?

::to Pilot:: Of course, Lieutenant.

::to Tevek:: Was "Nathaniel" scanned for Borg weaponry, that way I can uncrowd the Sickbay, there is a lot going on. Y'know?

:: Taps the tricorder, looking up to Tyrell :: I do not require any additional storage, the download is complete, Lieutenant.

:: Goes to Nathaniel ::

:: Folds the tricorder shut ::

:: Goes to her office to see if she still has an office ::

21:12

Kansas? :: Looks around :: Commander?

::downloading what data she could from the runabout’s databases::

I told you Manticore crashed onto a planet and they were resuced three days later. But before they were they were relentlessly attacked by Jem'Hadar. Many died but some were captured. Mo--Kansas, protected Erich while he was trying to get weapons up or comms or something like that. But at some point during the attacked she was disabled and both of them were captured along with a few others.

:In the corner, hyperventlating::

::to Pilot:: I did not detect any weaponry in the scans that I performed.

::shakes his head:: That doesn't sound like her, she's not getting captured.

Annika....we can take this to engineering or do you think you department might have a better handle on borg data analysis?

::nods:: Thank you Doctor.

Look, I wasn't there, all I know is the storied you told me. She didn't talk about it much... actually at all.

:: walks towards her replicator :: Aldebaron whiskey, two glasses.

::moves to SO2:: Again, confidential. If anything in here is said outside of these walls. You will be on report. Dismissed.

Feel free to interject your opinion Mr. Harnett.

::nods:: We can probably better analyze these in the science lab.

Sir, yes sir! ::nodding and exits::

:: Takes a glass in each hand, walks over to Kansas, extends a glass to her :: Drink.

::nods to Pilot, and returns to monitoring the scans on the biobed::

But it could also work in engineering too.

Fine. What happened next.

::Shakey hand, take the glass and glups it down'::

:: looks to Harnett ::

:: Listening and reading him as he speaks ::

:::Takes the second glass and glups down that one too::

1

It's high proof. (edited)

::rubbing his temple:: Today is not a good day...

:: Looks at Tyrell :: An engineering lab, with a separate LCARS partition might be best.

::Whispers::: I wouldn't do that

::moves and stands near McFly then folds his arms::

I agree with that

No matter the future your son is here now.

I don't know much else. They were gone for two years. You told me Starfleet considered them dead but at some point you picked up some leads. Eventually you found them and got her back... with me.

:: Drinks her whiskey :: Mmm.

It’d be much more secure in an engineering lab I reckon

Agreed.

::Sniffles:: I wouldn't

::looks at the data analysis for the quantum resonance scan briefly, before returning to looking at the standard biobed readouts::

Oh Absolutely we are going to partition any data from our mainframe. I think Engineering might be a better place to do that. The Engineering Laboratory should work. Annika I'd like you to be there when we open this thing.

Her, what happened to Erich?

This surely complicates...life.

::looks up at Erich then looks away:: He didn't make it. I don't know how, she refused to talk about it.

It must have been his mind games ::Points to the door

:: realizes her glass was empty ::

::thinks to himself:: (thought) May be time to start putting bloodwine in those bridge safe cups.

Alright let's take this up to the EL....( Engineering Lab )....

Who, Erich? He knows as much about you as anyone else.

Of course.

21:19

Let’s go.

:: exits the runabout ::

::is silent, not sure what to say::

:: Nods, following ::

::follows as well::

What do you want to do now Commander?

::Holds onto the wall:: I can't do this

+ Faldek + Tyrel to Faldek...We proceeding to the Engineering Labratory with the Data. We will notify you when we are ready to commence our work.

::glances towards the office, wondering how Kansas is feeling::

:: enters lift :: Engineering Lab.

I have meds if you think this is too stressful. If you want a clear head.

:: Follows Tyrell into the lift ::

You took me in as your own son. You're the only father I've ever known. ::looks up at Erich:: Not that I wouldn't mind getting to know my other one. ::smirks::

::Holds her arm out::: Give me what ever you got

21:22

::Never one for meds::

::heads into the lift::

Face up to the Captain? Look Erich in they eye, or look Erich in the eye? :: goes to her stash of hypos ::

+Tyrel+ Not to be an annoyance, but you need to triple check that partition isn't connected to the main computer before you download the data.

::taps the biobed controls to run some additional scans on Nathaniel's Borg implants and their interaction with his natural organs::

::noticing McFly's silence, places a hand on McFly's shoulder to reassure him::

Everything after that... ::looks over at Matt:: The universe has been a hell-scape as long as I can remember. The Dominion took over everything. I was a child when the Federation fell. Everything that you hold dear is at stake. That starbase has to be destroyed. It's the only way to undo everything in my time.

:: inserts the red concoction in the bottom, walks over and hypos Kansas in the neck ::

21:23

Should make you relaxed.

:::Takes a deep long breath::

+ Faldek+ We will be setting that up sir. Believe me I don't want to lose a ship to malevolent borg coding. With respect to that sir...has our guest been deemed not a threat?

I understand what you're saying but here, we're still Starfleet and we have ideals to uphold. I'm not saying I don't believe you but there has to be another way than for thousands of innocent people to die.

:: not certain if Faldek is going to answer that ::

+Tyrel+ I know about as much of what's going in sickbay as you do at this point. Though I'm sure they have it under control since I haven't heard a call for any additional security. (edited)

Were their deaths certain?

:::Steps out of the office, stays in the back::

:: Keeps a tight grip on the tricorder ::

+ Faldek + Understood Tyrel out.

If there was another way, I'd be presenting to you. The smartest people that we have insist this is the only way to stop it.

Well, I suppose that’s a good sign.

::looks over to Erich:: What are you thinking?

::taps away at Science-1 doing his thang::

::notices KK leaving the CMO's office, returns to monitoring the biobed displays::

I don't know Annika....More motivation to make certian we create a secure means reading all this.

::looks at Nathaniel:: Is it a certain person or just the starbase itself?

:: Follows her out ::

:: lift opens to Main Engineering Deck....Callista leads Annika and Harnett to to the EL ::

You can never be too safe.. especially with weird futuristic Borg technology.

:: Follows Tyrell to the EL ::

::shrugs:: I don't know. It was so long ago all we have are a handful of logs from that day. But everything points to that moment when the Romulans could have destroyed that base and were stopped.

Where are the logs now?

Then we let them destroy it

:: Enters and directs Annika and Harnett to a Table like work station...not unlike the " Pool Table" in Main Engineering. ::

::follows Calli::

What do you mean? It's not like I brought a basket of padds with me.

Alright lets secure the Tricorder in the Lab chamber here...:: directs Harnett to something looking like an ancient Microwave Oven ::

::looks at Nathaniel:: Well, it was worth the ask...

I don't want any Nano Probe injectors jumping out from that thing and ruining your complexion mr. Harnett..::

Proof is what we need... how can we just go by your word

Place it inside please...

::"basket of PADDs " comment makes him wonder if he can get his PADD with the DNA test results back at some point; decides now is not the appropriate moment to mention that::

::points at KK:: Bingo.

:: smiles briefly to Harnett ::

Mine as well? ::holds up her tricorder:: (edited)

::Trying to get back into her own head::

:: Stops at the lab chamber, setting the tricorder inside, eyebrow raised :: Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant.

:: enters hers as well ::

That's why I came. I insisted on doing this mission. And... to get to see you two one more time.

::to Nate:: What about your shuttle?

:: secures the Locker ::

::smiles::

21:32

::takes a few steps back::

What about it?

::to Nate:: Any logs on it?

Alright now let's set up the Partition system...with you both here we can get this done a bit quicker..

Doesn't it carry information

:: Nods :: Indeed.

::nods:: Yes, I’ll do what I can.

For all we know you are a Borg clone of Erich and me...

:: walks over to the Table and turns on the 3D image graphic...a hologram appears, :: We can watch our progress here....I'll begin with the primary, Annika yourself the secondary.. Mr. Harnett..if you can construct the LCARS Partition as our third wall..

::looks over some preliminary scan results about Nathaniel's Borg implants and their connection to his biological systems::

::shrugs:: I suppose there could be. I left in a hurry so we didn't specifically load the logs into the computer, but we also don't really have a centralized database anymore since... Well, basically every computer is a redunant back up. So yeah, they could be there.

::nods and heads over to the secondary terminal::

As you work on the code at this station you will see your work begin to appear above on the main 3D screen....

::pondering:: Would you mind if we took a look at those?

((Did I miss anyone asking him how the Borg tech got involved?))

::sighs:: I really need to get to the bridge. ::looks around for any Doctors near by:: Docs, fix him up. ::starts walking towards the door::

::looks over at the screen:: Ah, all right.

:::Takes McFl;y's hand::: I need to talk to you

:: Nods and walks over to the table, tapping on the console :: I will start on the Partition construction now.

::starts getting to work::

::walks over with KK to the CMO office:: Are you alright?

::raises an eyebrow at the "fix him up" order; looks to see if Dr. Orrak is also around::

::nods at McFly:: See you on the bridge Captain.

::Pulls him into the office::: (w) no

:: begins working on code :: Oh and yes the replicator has good stuff in here. I just verified it this morning once we discovered an anomaly in one of the ships replicators...

:: Goes to Erich ::

21:38

How are you Erich?

I love you, and only you.... I would Never

21:38

NEVER

Trying to remain clinical. :: he bit his lip :: but it's hard.

:: to Annika and Harnett :: Someone from the Engineering team on the station thought it funny to have the MENG replicator dispense nothing but Kanar....

::nods to EJ:: Yeah go ahead. I have nothing to hide.

Huh, funny.

::nods to Nate:: The ask was a formality. But I appreciate you being cooperative.

::sees Dr. Orrak talking to Erich, returns to focusing on Nathaniel's biobed readouts::

:: Looks over at Tyrell for a moment, a slight look of disgust on his face :: I trust you repaired that issue? :: As he looked back down at the console, creating code for the partition ::

::grabs both of her shoulders to calm her:: I know, I know. We don't know all the circumstances about any of this. I'm not upset.

::to Tevek:: If you need anything just holler.

:::Kissses him:: Only you

::nods to Pilot:: Understood, Lieutenant.

Oh yes...and I assure you the perpetrator of said prank, on our next visit will be dealt with....Personally. :: a sly smile on Callista's face appears briefly ::

Risa...

Yes yes, and this does not change.

::smiles:: too bad it wasn’t ratkajino.

:: Looks up again, just for a moment :: Good...

::continues working::

::walks towards the office but just outside of the door:: Captain, Commander. I am here, of course. I will see you on the bridge.

::kisses her back:: I know. Everything will be fine, I promise.

21:42

::heads out of sickbay::

::to Nathaniel:: Mr. McFly, I am Dr. Tevek. I do not believe we have been formally introduced yet. How are you feeling currently?

::heads out of the sickbay towards the TL::

I think...rumors of my tastes in beverage have started to spread... I have to ...well....respond. I was thinking a TANG sonic shower might be in order for the Ensign who thought he could get away with the deed.

:::takes the replacator for a double::

TANG…something that will probably outlast most of humanity.

Hello Mr Tevek. I think I met you once.

:: taps consoles :: Unless you have any better suggestions...

:::Glups down the drink:: (m) OK... you can do this

To be honest, I'm tired and I hurt. I've been hurting for a while. We don't have very good medical back in my time.

::enters the TL, holding it for the Captain::

::joins Pilot in the TL::

:::Exits the CMO's office::

Thanks.

::looks at McFly:: For sure, are we waiting for Kansas? (edited)

:: notes several prompts saying such redundancy is unecessary...and Callsta still puts them in. ::

No.

::nods:: bridge.

Hmm… Dr. Pepper?

21:46

::checking her progress::

:: Continues working on the Partition :: Remind me not to cross you, Ms.Tyrell.

::sitting in The Chair, watching the screen with just space on it::

::closes his eye and tried to decompress:: I need a stiff drink. (edited)

::nods:: I can provide you with a pain reliever that should also have sedative properties. ::begins assembling the hypospray:: What can you tell me about the status of your Borg implants? I have been scanning them to attempt to better understand how they are connected to your biological systems.

:::walks over and takes a seat across from Nate::

ooh I loved that carbonated beverage as a child. :: looks to Harnett :: I also want to send the message you don't mess with our ship. Have to have a bit of pride here.

So do I.

::arrives on deck::

:: Sees him concentrating :: What is wrong?

:: Looks up again :: Indeed.

::smiles:: Good progress so far…

::hears the TL doors open and looks back to see McFly and Pilot, stands up::

::Hurries to the RR:: Faldek. ::he calls and gestures to follow him::

::steps out of the TL after McFly::

::follows without a word::

I'm just...using my skill on him.

::Evil eyes Erich::

:: looks at the hologram ...the blue theoretical location of the tricoder is in the center with three overlapping spheres around it begining to take shape ::

::goes and takes a seat in the Chair:: I know..

Ooh.

::continues preparing pain reliever hypospray for Nate, waiting to see if he can provide more information about his Borg implants::

:: Continues writing code for the partition ::

:::Hates Erich right now::

:: Gets a chair and sits with Nathaniel ::

::sits back, picards his uniform and crosses his leg over the other::

(Did not before?)

I'm surprised it's taken this long for anyone to ask about them. In my time, we have little in the way of medical supplies so when the USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, they brought along borg tech with them. Seven of Nine and Voyager's Doctor did some fancy programing of nano probes and used them to do all kinds of things from healing wounds to replacing lost limbs. Honestly it's the only thing holding me together right now. ::snickers::

((oh you can feel it now))

::immediately heads to the replicator inside and orders a double rum; no fruit or umbrella::

That good...

::looks at current assignments seeing Harnett is not on the bridge:: Ah. Interesting.

::as shocked as a Vulcan can be by that information; raises eyebrow:: Very fascinating...so you were never a member of the Borg collective? Your implants are...medical?

::gulps the entire thing down; he winces hard as he wasn't prepared for it nor did he particularly enjoy it::

So what did you do on Risa Mr. Harnett....?

21:53

:: taps taps ::

I've never so much as seen a Borg cube. This was all done just to keep me from dying.

::taps the chair's comm button:: +COM+ Pilot to Lt Harnett.

::taps her console, watching the holograms unfold on the 3D screen::

So I have Tyrel, Harnett, and Sorensen analysing the data from the runabout in the Engineering lab, they're taking all the necessary precautions.

:: quiets upon hearing the COMM ::

:::Keeps staring at Nate::

:: Raises an eyebrow at the question as he continues his work ::

21:55

+ Pilot+ Harnett here, Lieutenant.

:: To Nate :: Your thoughts are...complicated.

:: notes the spheres rapidly take shape ::

::walks over to Faldek; takes a deep breath:: So that person we picked up is my son from the future except he's not really my son he's Jaenke's son well he is my son anyway he says the space station we're heading to is going to be attacked by romulans and that we need to let it be destroyed otherwise the dominion will take over the alpha quadrant and destroy the federation. ::exhales::

1

+Harnett+ I see you are currently working on the shuttle of our guest. Who is in charge down there? (edited)

::nods:: Our security officers will be relieved to hear that. ::applies hypospray with pain reliever/sedative:: I will review my scans and see how we can work with your...Borg-inspired treatments...to get you in the best possible medical condition we can. Is there anything else I should know about your condition?

These implants sustain you?

+ Pilot + Lieutenant Tyrel is in charge, Lieutenant.

::to Tevek:: I'm allergic to penicillin.

:: Doing her own scan ::

+Harnett+ Thank you Mr Harnett. ::closes the comm and starts a new one:: +Tyrel+ Lieutenant Tyrel come in please.

The temporal prime directive applies. We need to contact the Department of Temporal Investigations and seek their assistance.

::Twiches is also allergic to Penicillin::

:: Sees someone enter :: Violet?

Yes. I heard rumblings.

+ EJ+ Tyrel here go ahead.

:: Waves Violet over ::

:::Looks at Gila::: Can your pet not be part of this?

1

::looks to Erich:: Not so much sustain me, so much as replaced things. Like my eye ::points::. Part of my arm was badly burned and there was no dermal regenerator. My spleen was replaced and I have patches on my lungs and heart.

+Tyrel+ Lt. I have a ask of you. There may be some logs that can help shed some light on the current situation. I would like to have you prioritize the finding of them, if they do exist.

This is Violet Nathaniel.

::nods, types on PADD:: Your allergy has been entered in your file, Mr. McFly. ::types additional notes based on Nate's comments to Erich::

:: waves ::

+Tyrel+ If found, please forward the findings to the Security Inbox. (edited)

:: brielfy shakes her head::

::slightly laughs at hearing Faldek; walks over and collapses in the chair behind the desk:: Yeah I suppose so. But what are they going to say, do what we were going to do as if we never learned this information? Send another ship that just puts events in motion again? ::shrugs::

+ EJ+ This data cannot be exported LIeutenant. We will inform you when it is ready for viewing here in the Engineering Labratory.

:: Is close to finishing his work on the partition ::

They're going to find out. However sometimes it is best to act then seek forgiveness...

+Tyrel+ Thank you. I just wanted to know if it exists. Bridge out.

If my knowledge of temporal mechanics is correct. Say we destroy this base and prevent your future, you are still with us.

( regrettably I must go folks I will cya next week )

((Have a good one Tyrel))

::looks at the little girl:: You're Violet? You were instrumental in helping Seven and The Doctor implement nano probes for wide spread use as medical devices.

((later Cali))

:: Looks to Tyrel :: To answer your question, I attempted to catch up on Engineering journals and technical manuals for the Nebula class ships.... but was interrupted more than once.

I what now?

22:04

I have read much about these Borg.

::looks at Faldek:: Those might be the wisest words I've heard... If this all goes ass up I'm going to tell them it was your fault.

Well, if you're not going to ask any of them...

In my defense I will say that I initially suggested to notify DTI

You did, and that's why you're the only one not arrested.

Nate was almost on his way to the brig.

My question is, what happened to future me ??!!
