A strange happenings.

Ensign Robinsons Log, supplemental.

Im testing the new Viper that ive made, but ive picked up an odd signal.

Computer, boost the signal

*beep*

Kynes ...o SB49: I am enroute ...om DS5, ETA ........ours, and I have detected a strange phenomenon in my pat....

Damn, Computer, set a course for his last known position and set a course, take us to 5 million KM and inform Captain Veldman Ensign Tyler will undoughtedly steal the Limburgia again.

The shuttle enters the phenomenon, sirens wail, panels explode, the shuttle loses all but battery power.

*Beep: Warning, Structural Integrity Failure. Warp core overload in 30 seconds.*

Computer is there any chance of dumping the core or repairing the core?

*Negative. Warp core overload in 25 seconds.*

As I don my space suit as quickly as possible I issue the command

Computer: Route all remaining power to the transporter, beam me to the limit of the beam.

A shower of sparkles engulfs me, I materialise not quite far enough away.

Computer: Activate EVG thrusters. Get me out of the blast radius.

Thrusters fire as the core breaches, throwing me deeper into the phenomenon.

From Bridge: Salikar to Robinson, Did that shuttle just blow up. Never mind, Stupid Question. I Kynes still out there?

Odd, the sensor grid is still experimental, something Commander Data tried, ive been trying to perfect it. I AM detecting some debris, not sure what it belongs too.. Let me just try my tricorder i just happen to have with me.

Computer spin me around, take me away from the center.

*Insufficient power to effect such a maneuver*

Using the suits inbuilt tricorder I try to scan around me. Many ghost images are received, and the phenomenon appears to be an interphasic rift. A faint Starfleet Ident is suddenly displayed, extremely faint.

Computer try to send a signal to that vessel.

*Working*

The signal phases in and out of the continuum, or is that me?...

(to Commanding Officer) Sir, there is a time continuum disruption in space

Computer, I don't have enough power to escape this object, can I at least go into orbit around it?

*Affirmative*

Make it so.

*Please rephrase statement.*

Put me into orbit.

*Executing maneuver. Evacuation suit propulsion unit power exhausted. Life support 18 hours remaining.*

Onboard the Limburgia, Crewman Recruit BEC hails the bridge from Engineering.

Engineering to Bridge.

*Go ahead.*

I think I may be able to help in this situation.

*What did you have in mind Crewman?*

*I can go with shuttle 2 class to him and rescue him*(from bridge)Alright go inmidiatly!

*Starfleet vessel identity confirmed. USS Limburgia is holding just outside the anomaly.*

Can we hail them?

*Negative. Insufficient power.*

The analysis on the phenomenon. What is it exactly?

*It is an interphasic rift. Further information is speculation only.*

If I went in, what would happen, speculating?

*Theoretically it could transport entering object many lightyears away.*

I rip off my engineering toolkit and throw it towards the anomaly.

Computer keep a track on that pack, let me know what happens to it.

*Incoming shuttlecraft.*

Hail it.

*We are phasing out of the space-time continuum.*

This is engeniring oficer BEC!I'll transport you in the shuttle!
Computer reourute all axuillaury power to the transporters.
Computer :Reouruted.
BEC:I'll transport you aboard now.
Transport complete.
Are you all right?
J A Kynes:I am OK.
BEC:To Limburgia.
Captain:Limburgia here.
BEC:I have succsesed.
Captain:Are J A Kynes all right?
BEC: Positive he is all right.We are coming back to the ship.
BEC out.

Thank you Crewman...

BEC: BEC Sir.

Crewman BEC. I think I'd better get a full physical when I get back on the ship, anomolies are never good for the body.

*Goes to sit down, and falls straight through the chair.*

What the... wait a minute, I must still be tied to the rift. I'm still partially phased.

*Ensign Kynes stands up and unknowingly completely phases out of the continuum.*

So Crewman, where did you transfer from?

Crewman? Crewman?

*BEC turns around and lets out a gasp of surprise.*

BEC: Ensign? Where did yo go?

I'm right here!

BEC: Ensign? Say something.

*I am here*
Ah there you are.
I woried about you.
*Realy*
Ensign I woud ask you some Quescion
Shoot
Can you get me a mision ?
Any mision?
*Let me think*

We'll sort out the next mission when we get back to the base, who knows what crazy adventures we'll get up to there.  :D

In the meanwhile however, I would like to not be constantly phasing in and out of the space-time continuum.

*Puts helmet back on, just in case.*

Prepare for docking maneuvers. You are a qualified shuttle pilot I hope...

BEC: Of course Sir.

As the shuttle comes in for a landing, Ensign Kynes once again phases, this time more severely. He floats up off of the deck, and as the shuttle moves towards the Limburgia, the Ensign floats back, drifting slowly towards the anomoly.

Why me?.........

BEC to bridge.
*Bridge here*
BEC:Lock our shuttle with tractor beam.
*Locked*
Engage tractor beam
J A Kynes from space : We can transport to the Engenering.
Bridge:Negative we can transport you boath to the last deck.
BEC: Ok transport now!
In meantime the anomaly pulls ship toward anomaly
J A Kynes:We are coming to the engeniring.
BEC to the bridge:Fire some torpedo in the anomaly.
Bridge:All decks brace for impact
J A Kynes to bridge:Send distresscall to all ships.

Kynes to Bridge:

It's no use, my pattern isn't stable enough for a transporter lock. Try using the main deflector dish to send anyon pulses phased at 15GHz at my location.

*Erm, Ensign? You're already in main engineering.*

Very funny guys, I'm off your aft.

*No Ensign, you are standing in main engineering.*

Then how am I floating in space then?

*Don't worry, we'll get Ensign Salikar working on this. It sounds like Mr Robinsons viper may come in useful soon. Mr BEC, we may need more power to the deflector dish and sensor systems. Can you start re-routing the necesary circuits?*

Rerouting axuillaury power to the deflector dish!
In meantime on the bridge:Captain something sucking our energy!
I's that anomaly!
BEC to the captain:I have rerouted axuillaury power!
Captain the warp core is shut down!
Captain:How?
BEC:I don't know.
Transport J A Kynes abord he can help me!!
In meantime I'll power up warp core!!

*Bridge to BEC. The anomoly appears to have created a duplicate of Ensign Kynes. One is in a space suit, drifting aft towards the anomoly, and one is on his way to the fusion reactor control room.*

Kynes (Ship) to bridge: I have entered the reactor control. I am about to bring all reserve reactors online. This should give us the power to hold engines at stationkeeping. Bring us around 180 mark 0, and fire the anyon pulse when the power capacity has reached 42.186

Kynes (Ship) to Kynes (Space): So erm, me. Ensign Salikar is working out what happened and how. It appears I am anchored to this continuum, maybe the transporter beam had something to do with that. We still don't know how erm, we became two, if we are the same person, or 'half and half'. Are you still phasing?

Kynes (Space): So far I am stable, but from what I can make out, everytime I have phased, there has been a large energy source / surge nearby. I recommend against the transporter and shuttles. Don't want to phase again, or indeed, create a third me. This could create a problem, as bringing me onboard the Limburgia could phase me permenantly to another dimension.

BEC to bridge: We can  move to the Ensign J A Kynes and he can enter in one hatch on the hull.
Bridge:moving.
J A Kynes(space):I am now entering in the hach.
I am in.
J A Kynes (duplicate):BEC on my mark you establish stabile warp field and we will fire anyon pulse.
3,2,1 Now
BEC:Suksses we are traveling at warp 1!
BEC to Bridge:Captain take us to the space station 49!
Captain:Alright.Helm set course to the starbase 49!

Kynes (Duplicate) to bridge: Get a security team to meet the original me. Take him to the front of the ship.

Kynes (Duplicate) to BEC: Cut all power to the forward part of the ship. Gravity, replicators, lights, everything. Put life support on minimum.

Kynes (Duplicate) to Salikar: Meet me and me at the forward lounge. Bring passive scanners. Lets see what we can do to rejoin erm, us.

Kynes (Duplicate) to bridge: Keep us at warp one, do not exceed that speed.

Kynes (Duplicate) to Kynes (Original): How are you?

Kynes (Original) to Kynes (Duplicate): I've felt better.

BEC to sickbay: Doctor status?
doctor:I have back them in one pice!
BEC: Ok!
BEC to J A Kynes:How about holodek tommorow!
J A Kynes: OK tomorow at 5 pm.

Kynes (Combined): I don't feel well, it feels like there are two of me inside the one body.

Doctor: Early scans were flawed, we have to seperate the two of you. If we do, one of you will die. If we don't, your both goners.

Kynes (Combined): Do it. Just out of curiosity, which of us will survive?

Doctor: I'm guessing the duplicate.

Kynes (Combined): So I won't be me then.

Doctor: Oh it will be you, just not you. Less talk, we need to get you into surgery now. The transporter procedure should be painless, and take half an hour.

A lengthy procedure later and the original Kynes is lying on the biobed.

Kynes (Dupliate): It's going to be weird, as i'm not me.

Kynes (Original): At least you get to keep going on as me.

Kynes (Duplicate): How long do you think i've, I mean, he has doc?

Doctor: I'm not sure. If he doesn't phase first, i'd guess 12 hours.

Kynes (Duplicate): Is there anything I can do to make your last hours mroe comfortable?

Kynes (Original): Well, nothing really, except for...

The original Kynes phases completely out of existance.

Kynes: This is going to take some getting used to...

BEC to the bridge: Anomaly has effect on are warp core.
Captain: Explane
BEC: Warp core has exellerated speed we must shut down the core or core will
brech
J A Kynes: I am thinking to eject the core!
BEC: Core si stabile but we must shut down core now.
Captain: Helm full stop.
BEC: We are now shuting down the core.
BEC: Core is shut down.

Kynes to Salikar: Get a team together and meet me in the science suite. We need to see if this anomoly is expanding, and if it is any risk to nearby shipping, or indeed, us.

BEC to Kynes: Can you get to the engeniring and help me to solve the problem!
Kynes: On my way.
BEC to the bridge: Captain send distresscall to all ships to get us and towe us with a tractor beam to the nearest science base!
Bridge: The ship is on it's way!

Kynes to Engineering: I'll be there as soon as I've finished this conference, we may be getting somewhere. The warp core is a minor problem. The ship is in no immediate danger, and we need to see if this anomoly is expanding, shrinking, a danger, etc.

BEC: We can sent graviton pulse in the anomaly.
But I don't know what will happen.
Kynes: We can enhanse are shields.
BEC: I am enhansing now.

In the conference room sits the department heads Lieutenent Commanders Taylor, Zoden and Talis, Lieutenents Ristau, van Veen and Lochner, and Ensigns Kynes, Robinson, Salikar and Bristo. Commander Taylor sits at the head of the table.

So everyone, as you are all aware, I am not the Ensign you all know and love. As strange as this is for me, I am actually the same person. The anomaly sitting 700 million kilometers to our aft, the interphasic rift, has properties we can only begin to understand. It has, in conjunction with a transporter beam duplicated a living being, one being stable, the other lost in the rift, phasing between dimensions. It at times has a large gravity well, at others, has the same mass as a PADD. It appears to have a detrimental effect on warp reactors, and at times, inhibits Subspace Communications.

Mr Salikar, what have the sensor sweeps told you about the rift? What were the results of the scans of myself and myself?

Mr Robinson, what new technologies have been installed on your viper? Anything we can use to approach, scan and possibly enter the rift, survive and safely return?

Mr Ristau and van Veen, do you think we could get enough power to bring the Limburgia closer to the rift without detrimental effect?

Ms Talis, while I was in the rift, the computer speculated that this rift was capable of transporting vessels hundreds of lightyears distant. Could this rift be artificially generated and perhaps be used to send an invading force through?

Mr Salikar, are there any chances of, of, rescuing the other me?

It is a temporal rift. Definately. It would lead to another time, probably the future. The shields probably wouldn't hold  out if we went in due to the Metaphasic radiation.

As for rescuing you, It is possible, yet highly improbable. We may not have the equipment to do so

OOC: Technobabble used

As I thought, slim to no chance.

If only someone had invented metaphasic shielding. Ah well, guess we'll have to wait a few years for that (  ;) ).

Mr Robinson, do you think your viper is up to the task, the metaphasic radiation had less adverse effect on smaller vessels. I think it is imperative that we get a lot of information on this rift. If we can't, then the least we can do is alert Starfleet Science to send a science vessel here.

[occ] ive been gone for a while sorry[/]

Mr. Kynes cant we get the deflector dish to send a torpedo with a gravametric device and than sustain the blast using a Radiometric Burst from the deflector

*gets bad look from The Duplicate Mr.Kynes and he says You forget im in there*

Right bad idea and when did i steal the Limburga??

Mr Tyler, sorry for starting without you, but we knew how busy you were, going over intelligence reports in your office.

No you didn't steal it, but Mr Robinson was prepared, just in case you tried to...  ;D

We shall call that plan 'b'. First we need to see if we can safely enter the rift, or at least, get close enough to study it. If the rift starts to rapidly expand, we need to assume it will consume a good piece of this sector, and then execute plan 'b'.

Computer, what is the current circumference of the rift?

*26 Astronomical Units.*

What was the size upon first contact?

*1.7 Astronomical Units.*

And the heavy gravitational effect was only encountered when the rift was small?

*From the limited encounters, yes.*

That explains how Mr. BEC was able to enter with a shuttle and rescue me. So theoretically, the longer we wait, the easier it will be to approach?

*Affirmative, however radiation levels increase with size.*

So if we are to enter, it is now. When will the rift expand next?

*The rift has not expanded in 13.47 hours.*

When is it next likely to expand?

*Unknown.*

BEC talk with Kynes in engeniring:BEC: We can modify the torpedo to push anomaly and we can go to warp in ten seconds.
I can in four seconds create stabile warp field and we can jump to warp!
Kynes: Exelent idea! How long will take to modify torpedo.
BEC: One  hour!
Kynes: Begin inmidiatly and I will inform the captain!
BEC: Aye,aye sir!

Start on your modifications now, but don't execute until you get a command from the Bridge. I'd like to stay here as long as we can gathering more information. As soon as the rift poses a danger to the ship, the Bridge will launch the torpedo and inform you to engage the warp drive.

Kynes to Commander Taylor: Crewman BEC is working on a way to get us out of here, should we need to make a quick escape. In the meantime, I would like to stay here and continue sensor scans for as long as the rift is stable, and the ship is in no danger.

Taylor to Ensign Kynes:
Permission granted, continue sensor scans and at the frist sign the rift becomes unstable get out of there.

Alert sounds.
From bridge: Red alert all hands to battle stations.
BEC to Bridge: What happend ?
Bridge: Anomaly has pulled us.
Kynes: BEC is the modification complete.
BEC: Just one more minute.
Kynes: Hurry BEC.
BEC: Modification is complete.
BEC to bridge: Captain when torpedo explode set maximum warp and get out of here.
Captain:  Helm  prepare to jump in warp.
All hands brace for impact.
Fire.
Warp now .
We are at warp 9.
Mission complete.
Thank Mr. BEC.
BEC: No mind.

All departments, file reports.

Bridge, send a subspace message to Starfleet Science. Flag this anomaly for further study. We shall keep an eye on it via long range scans.

Slow to warp 4, set a course for Starbase Deep Space Five, we still have some power invertors to acquire.

Tyler to Kynes:
From Quarters
Im Fine although my replicator is acting up i asked for coffee and guess what i got Klingon Blood Wine Wonder if its synthahol
*takes a sip*
Definitly real

*Comms beep*

Computer Open Door
*unable to Comply*
Computer Locate Position of Ensign Tyler
*Bridge*
Tyller To Kynes
We have a problem"

Go ahead

*static*

Go ahead

*static*

*Touches comm panel*

Kynes to Tyler: Status

*static*

Computer, run a level three diagnostic on all voice processors.

*static*

(To crewman manning ops station): Crewman, run that diagnostic. Tell me what's happening.

Security go to the ensign Tyler courtairs.
Securiti is on it's way.
BEC to Kynes: We must hurry to deep space 5 .
Kynes: Ok!
Kynes to bridge: Captain set a maximum warp to the deep space 5.
Here is some strange.
BEC: We can modify warp drive to allow maximum warp for 4 hours longer.
Kynes: Start now.

*touches panel without effect*

Ops, report.

Ops: It appear that the computers interfaces are buggered, both vocal and tactile.

Can you be a little more specific?

*Environmental control to the bridge, come in.*

Go ahead.

Comms: Nothing sir, seems that some departments can call in, but we can't respond.

Can we call anywhere and get them to route the call through multiple destinations?

Comms: Without any idea who can call who, we have no way to tell.

*Quartermaster to the bridge, is anyone there?*

Comms: Again, no reply.

*Viper Alpha to the bridge, come in.*

(Sighs), go ahead.

*Ensign Robinson here, what's happening bridge?*

You can hear me Ashley?

*It would appear I can.*

Ensign Tyler Walks on the Bridge and Says
"Did you know that the Turbo lifts are not opperational nor are the Comm or Transporters."

We were of the communications systems, never thought to check the turbolifts. Good job for the emergency hand actuators, so inoperable doors can be opened. Zak, we appear to be in communication with Ashley onboard the Viper, everywhere else is oneway or inaccessable.

Science station, what do the sensors say?

Science: Sensors are inoperable sir.

Kynes to Robinson: Are your transporters operable? Hows about your sensors? What do they tell us? Where are we?

The viper is a one-seat, no cargo fighter Mr Kynes.  The only transporter i have is an Emergency Beam-out transporter.  Sensors are Experimental, im reading... stars... Thats about it. Piece of junk american sensors....

On the bright side, my weapons systems and LIDAR are working... Ill know if something comes our way....

What would be coming our way? the other Kynes?

Your the Scinece Officer with the Limburgia Sensors Mr Salikar, you tell me.

(smacks self in head out of pure emotion)

Erm, they don't work just now. We can't contact engineering to find out why.

Ensign Tyler. Will you and your emergency hand actuator join me on a trip to engineering. I think there's only about 60 jeffries tube doors in our way...

Ha! This tricorder im packing is as good as it gets ive tied it into the power grid of my viper, so its pretty good. I do however, have neat weapons and un-surpassed manuverability. Bring em on!!

*tricorder beeps frantically*

what the...

Robinson to Limburgia, im picking up some strange readings.... Ill head closer for a more detailed scan. Speak soon.

*Viper breaks formation violently and rockets off in some random direction*

Go Ahead, and if you find anything interesting, send us a message immediately

35 doors down, 30 to go...

I Think when i talk to Starfleet Command about the Monthly Stratigic Planning i will Mention how Cramped these Jeffries Tubes are...
45 Down 15 to go

One more to go.

*Clunk, hiss*

Smoke rushes into the Jeffries Tube.

Computer: Activate fire suppression systems in Main Engineering!

*No response*

Quick, back to the last turning, lets exit into the corridor.

They exit into the corridor. Smoke pours out of the tube.

Close it!

Zach does so. The two Ensigns grab portable fire fighting equipment and prepare to enter Engineering. Taking position at either side of the door, Ensign Kynes shouts out:

Three, Two, One, NOW!

Rushing into Engineering, the two Ensigns extinguish the fire on the master control consoles after a bit of a battle.

I wonder what state the main computer is in and how that fire started.

Zach: Hey wait a minute, where are the Engineers?

*over comms*  Ro....son to Limbu...ia, searc..... n... ults, damad..... ion....stor... reque..... missi.... o dock immed....tly...

Limburgia to Robinson: Do you have EVA capabilities? Shuttlebay doors will be on manual, and it will take a few minutes for one of us to reach the bay.

Robinson to Limburgia: I've diverted power from weapons to Comms and Engines, Shields are down, life support at 3%, i don't have time. Get some random ensign to get the doors open.

My mission was a failure, the readings i was after revealed no results, i just wound up in a random Nebula, it was odd, just a class 3, but somehow it crippled Phoenix.  I got out while i stll could. Probaly a dud, but probaly worth checking out when you have time.

Limburgia to Robinson: Affirmative.

Zach, run as fast as you can to the Aft Shuttlebay, it's on this deck, all corridors, no doors except one. Use the manual access, get the bay doors open. I'll try to figure out what's happened here, see if I can get the computer up and running, or at least, internal communications.

Limburgia to Robinson: Zach should have them open in two minutes. His fitness skills are about to be tested to the max.

im there he pushes with all his strength and manages to open teh door a few feet

OK then, forgive me captain veldman... COmputer, divert power from life support to the weapons array

COMPUTER:  *beep beep* That course of action is not reccomended

Me: Do it!

COMPUTER: *beep* power transfer complete, asphyxiation will occur in 17 seconds.

/me Fires the phasers, and makes the door just big enough to get in, the emergency forcefields engage, and Ashley pops the hatch.

Me: Thanks Zach, lets get to the bridge deck!

Ensign Kynes is sitting amongst a pile of computer circuitry wih a tricorder and several pieces of diagnostic equipment.

Kynes to Tyler and Robinson: I think I've got internal communications online.

Kynes to all decks: Red Alert, Damage reports to Engineering. All crew members report in to your immediate supervisors.

Kynes to Taylor: We need to find out what has happened. Are we missing any crew?

Robinson to Kynes, internal comms apppear to be online, where do you need me?

Kynes to Robinson: Can you and Ensign Salikar head over to the sensor suite and see if you can get sensors and/or scanners online and assess the exterior situation?

Sure, two decks down, and 100 yards later.

*The door opens*

whoa, Computer, activate fire suppression systems

*beep* Fire supression systems online

*the fire goes out*

Wow, im guessing the internal sensors are down too, or otherwise the FS systems woulda come on by themselves... hmm, well, ill need more power. can you help me out there? another 20gigwatts or so should do it.

You have it. Adjusting isolinear chips to route commands and power takes me back to the academy...

I AM REPORTING THIS TO THOES WHO DESIGNED STARBASE49 IT SEEMS TO BE ONE DISASTER AFTER ANOTHER!!!!!!

No Offences intended to the TActical, Security and/or Engineering Departments but to the Soul Designers of the BAse.

This report should go to the Excelsior class design team. :P

:-[ :-[ :-[ oops i forgot we were on the limburga

Whoa, the sensors are online at 40% resolution. as best as i can gather, theres at least 27 microfractures, one of the nacelles is fused, the shuttle door is knackered, were outta haggis, and theres a type 4 nebula about 30k Kilometers dead ahead. Where did that come from? That wernt there when i came in!

Did we come in by it, are we drifting? Is there any evidence of wormhole activity, or other subspace phenomenon? How long until total haggis exhaustion? That I can deal with, but if we're out of whisky too....

[looses it]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"were outta whisky what about Mikes Hard Lemonaide"

and whats worse those Nebulae are heading right for us!!!!!

10km-5-4-3-2-1 All HAnds Red alert Enabe Evasive Pattern Theta Alpha and then if that dosent work Put your head between yer legs and kiss your a$$ goodbye

Kynes to bridge:

You have power to communications, I think. We now have partial shields, enough to contain a hull breach, but that's the best I can give you just now.

Your the Operations officer Sweet!

I have a plan. Before i chose to Major in Small arms tactics, i was gonna be an engineer... Ill be in engineering. Ill call you when i have more.

*To turbolift computer* Engineering

*beep*, that area has been classified a level 4 danger zone

Override, this has to work
