USS Excalibur - Sundays 10 ET - Command Staff: Cptn Swain, CdrMirandaHawthorne

Between 9/22/2024 9:09 PM and 9/22/2024 10:09 PM

MISSION BRIEFING: It has been three days since the away team was transported, back in time as it were, and the AT has been comfortably quartered by the locals in the Federation equiv of the motel, hotel, holiday inn (express). There has been no sign that history intends to repeat itself either. A messenger stopped by to let you know that the Excalibur had entered orbit.

9:10 PM

questions, concerns, comments?

No questions from Indaura One

How long will we be with the no humor guys?

I guess we'll find out!

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Takes a breath.:: Don't know if I'm ready for this.

On the bridge as the Excalibur enters orbit Maybe you should stay up here and I go down to check it out?

((Do we have planetside people grab an @?))

(( Yep ))

%Rex> Hoping that this isn't a mirror universe situation

9:14 PM

( *passes out % ))

Irene> "I've met a weird quantum clone once already..."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at Swain.:: I... ah... that might be best. Though I am curious.

Rex> Makes a mental update to the XSLX

“What are the odds that we can avoid a visit from Temporal investigations?”

Rex> If we could turn back time

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Takes a breath.:: I don't know if I'm ready for this.

% “Anyone think of ways to avoid Temporal Investigations?”

Cdr Jalen Stanton> If we could find a way... ::Trails off, looking thoughtful.::

Frowns at Rex but refocuses on Stanton I'll go down first with a small security team. Have someone from medical join me in the transporter room.

to himself “We’d take back those words that have hurt you?”

%Rex> If we could turn back time. If we could find our way. I could take back all the things that hurt you, and you'd stay. (edited)

%Irene> "No."

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at Chocox and Rex.:: You're both very odd. I don't know how I'm going to handle two of you at once.

% “What did I do?”

Heads towards the turbo lift Mincine have one of your folks meet me there too. We should get a full quantum scan of these, uh, people too.

9:19 PM

disappears into the turbo lift

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> You shouldn't say their name out loud. You might summon them. Definitely don't say it three times.

% “Ah”

%Rex> It could be worse.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> +Indaura+ Doctor, please have one of your staff (other than yourself) report to the transporter room to join the Captain planetside.

9:20 PM

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Dare I ask how? ::To Rex.::

Irene> "Will do." She rings up Science and gets someone who knows quantum stuff to meet him there.

% “They could already be here?”

%Rex> We could have been tossed into mirror universe. Or an alternated limeline. Or we could have simply been killed by the energy field.

9:21 PM

%Rex> If there's one thing I've learned over the eyars, it can always be worse.

%Irene> "Something about hell being other people, then."

%Rex> We could have been thrown back into time in someone elses bodies. We could have been turned into children but with our adult brains and personalities.

9:22 PM

%Rex> We could have evolved into salamanders and mated.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Eyes Rex.:: Again, I say... odd.

% “How much time have you put into these thoughts?”

%Ens Reynolds> Too much time.

%Rex> I subscribe to a podcast about the weird people run into on deep space missions. It's called "Star Trek."

(( Hey! He said the name of the show. ))

(I must have missed something)

(( Indaura, NPC a medic to the transporter room to beam down with Swain. You're on the planet with a % with the rest of us. ))

Enters the transporter room where he hopes to find the waiting medical officer and the waiting science officers. He knew that for whatever weirdness Rex got up to, he ran a tight ship and there would be two dutiful goldshirt officers waiting on the transport pad.

9:26 PM

Rex> So, you think they're really us?

(Oh, thought planetside @ )

%Rex> So, you think they're really us?

% Are we going to run into our own selves?

9:28 PM

NPC Med> :: Enters transporter room ::

% “If Swain is smart someone else is coming down.”

Steps onto the padd. It had been a while since he was the one leading an actual away mission. He probably shouldn't get used to that.

Ensign Ayers> "I guess we'll find out." The blue-shirt steps onto the transporter pad.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Eventually, I assume.

NPC Med> Ready.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at Rex.:: I don't know. If it happened the way they say it did, I don't see why not. They'll have to be tested, though.

9:30 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> What's your deepest, darkest secret?

%Rex> How it gets worse, by the way, is not temporal affairs. Those guys won't care too much about us sitting in a Motel 6 for three days.

9:31 PM

%Rex> But you know who will care a whole lot about having two duplicate officers running around? Starfleet Talent Management.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Shhhh. Don't say their name, either.

Rex> Like I am going to tell you.

%Irene> "Ugh, retention officers?"

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Smirks.:: It didn't hurt to try.

9:32 PM

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Your double will know, though.

Rex> Smirks So does the Captain.

But would the double tell you?

Rex> Would you tell yours?

9:33 PM

Alright folks. Energize.

“Not unless I had some expectation of privacy.”

(( Ithene just popped up to tell me she also knows Will's deepest secret. ))

((I honestly don’t remember.)) (edited)

ACTION> Just outside the door of the room where the % are being held at the Risa Inn Express, teh Excalibur away team led by Captain Swain materializes.

Ayers> "Didn't they come up with protocols for that after Changelings pretended to be admirals and stuff?"

% Looks over to Ayers Why do you think we have a medic and security team along for the ride?

9:38 PM

%Rex> Looks over to the door where he could hear the transporter sounds Commander

%Irene> "Oh, guess they're here."

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Sighs and stands, straightening his uniform.:: Places, everyone.

% :: Stands ::

%Rex> stands and straightens his uniform

9:39 PM

( Give me a number everyone 1-20 ))

(9)

(( 12 ))

%Irene> Stands and brushes out the uniform.

9:40 PM

( 15 )

(( 18 for Rex ))

((16))

ACTION> Ship-Indura, Ship-Jalen both suddenly feel a sudden sharp pain that makes them momentarily feel woozy. PLanet-Will and Planet-Irene get the same feeling. Both Rexes do.

% wobbles “Ow!”

Rex and %Rex> Mmm I shouldn't have had that second helping at breakfast.

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Touches his forehead.:: Ah...

%Irene> "Ah!" She leans back and puts her weight against the room's wall.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Glances at Will, Rex, & Irene.:: What happened?

% Takes a deep breath before he opens the door.

9:44 PM

%Rex> It was nothing. Just probably some nerves.

9:44 PM

%Rex> Not every day you meet your self.

% “Really painful.”

%Irene> "Felt sick for a minute. All of us at the same time, though."

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Yes, very odd. And notable.

%Rex> All of us?

Ship's Indaura> Ugh,,,,

%Opens the door to hear "all of us?"

9:46 PM

% Hello.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Captain... ::Nods to Swain.::

9:47 PM

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::Automatically looks to see who he brought with him and was relieved that his double wasn't in the mix.::

%Irene> "I guess they decided two of me in one place is too much."

% “I’m sure there’s some regulation.”

% Forces a smile I thought it was best if we didn't have you all meet just yet.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Wise. We were all nervous about it.

% I am sure you'll understand that we need to, yes, Mr. Choxox, follow protocol. That includes needing to get some blood samples and scans of each of you.

% Ensign Ayers is already poking that scanner all over the room, going hmmmmm.

% “I was hoping to keep my missed physicals streak going.”

%Rex> Gives the two security officers a once over. Not surprised that his opposite number would send the two he picked. Good choices. Exactly who he would send.

9:51 PM

Rex> Staunton You okay?

Cdr Jalen Stanton> Just a bit of a headache. Sudden sharp pain, but it passed. ::Massages his temple.::

Rex> You... too?

9:53 PM

Rex> looks over to Will and Irene Either of you?

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> We understand, sir. Changeling protocols and all that.

“Nope.”

Irene> "Nope, doing okay here."

% Also the Riker Protocols.

9:54 PM

%Rex> Vindicated

% Ayers> "I thought that one was about interspecies relationships?"

% “Thomas”

% There's several.

9:55 PM

% They probably have entire academy courses on it by now.

:: Is out of her element ::

%Rex> Didn't you go to the academy with him?

9:57 PM

% I was a first year when he graduated, yeah.

%“Oh wow.” (edited)

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Doctor. ::Looking to the medic from Excalibur.:: I'll go first, if you like.

% Gives a surreptitious look to Ayers

9:59 PM

(( 2 MINUTE WARNING ))

NPC Med> The test?

Rex> Exhales Probably nothing then.

%Ayers> "S-sir?" She seems nervous at the captain's direct gaze. They've probably never met before.

%Cdr Jalen Stanton> Blood samples and whatever scans you need.

%Irene> Looks bored. "Just let me know when you want me to pee into a cup."

Cdr Jalen Stanton> ::looks to Rex.:: If we both felt it at the same time, it wasn't nothing. Check with Dr. Ryssan, as well.

NPC Med > Why are we defaulting to Changelings?

% “Easiest protocol to put into motion.”

% We're not. But we should rule out the possability they are before we move onto further tests.

10:02 PM

% Doing this, by the book.

10:02 PM
