USS _Soval_The_Lesser_Evil_Compile_02B ============ Mission: The Lesser Evil Day: 14 Stardate:2414.05.28 ============ (USS Soval - Observation Lounge - Lt. Cmdr. Tom Jackson - 2O - 1018) (USS Soval - Observation Lounge – Lt.jg Cecilia Bruce - CC - 1020) ============ (USS Soval - Observation Lounge - Lt. Cmdr. Tom Jackson - 2O - 1018) Tom and the other invitees were seated. Jackson took a moment to look at each person with what his wife Dahlia would call the 'Jackson stare'. His intent was to try and determine what their reaction might be to his questions about their crew mates . Tom weighed his questions carefully before asking. As Cecelia entered, she nodded to Lt. Commander Jackson and took a seat waiting for the meeting to convene. "You're wondering why I asked each of you here today. We are in a most unique and dangerous situation. I'm no time travel expert but we've done just that. The crew status is our major concern for now. I'm going to try and ask you specific questions and I want specific answers within your professional restrictions ok?" (Reply: Noah, Bruce and Brown) Tom leaned back and sipped his coffee and began to ask his questions. "First, Red, Noah. I need your assessment of the Captain and First Officer's mental state and capacity to command. Tom had asked a difficult question. He hated to but felt he had to. He listened to the answers and thought much about the responses. Looking at each of the others. He spoke his next words carefully. "Each of you are professionals. I want each of you to feel free to report to the skipper and first officer of my inquiries. When you are placed in my position you'll understand why I've asked it." Tom added. (Reply: Noah, Bruce and Brown) Tom turned to their CEO and asked a not so sensitive but essential question. "Chief, whats the technical status of the Soval?" Tom asked. (Reply: Dan) (Posted by: Bill) ============ (USS Soval - Observation Lounge – Lt.jg Cecilia Bruce - CC - Day 14 - 1020). As Cecilia entered, she nodded to Lt. Commander Jackson and took a seat waiting for the meeting to convene. "You're wondering why I asked each of you here today. We are in a most unique and dangerous situation I'm no time travel expert but we've done just that. The crew status is our major concern for now. I'm going to try and ask you specific questions and I want specific answers within your professional restriction ok?" Cecilia was glad that Lt. Commander Jackson put in the profession restriction clause. There could be certain things she might not be able to reveal, but, she was willing to help where she could. Tom leaned back and sipped his coffee and began to ask his questions. "First, Red, Noah. I need your assessment of the Captain and First Officer's mental state and capacity to command. Cecilia looked at CMO Noah before she decided to give her opinion. "Commander Matrix is holding on very good even with the lack of rest that he and everyone else needs. I will let the CMO speak on behalf of his health, mentally he seems to be holding up well." She stopped for a minute to gather her thoughts on the Captain before proceeding. "As for the Captain, i know you asked about him, but, I need to say this first and foremost. The crew has confidence in him, but, it has suffered since he was taken.They want and need confidence in him. That being said, I don't sense any abnormality in him at the moment. He seems to be handling things well. Is he 'our' Captain? you may ask, I can not give you a hundred percent yes or no, but, I don't feel any deceit in him right now." She finished her thoughts for the moment. (reply Noah) He listened to the answers and thought much about the responses. Looking at each of the others. He spoke his next words carefully. "Each of you are professionals. I want each of you to feel free to report to the skipper and first officer of my inquiries. When you are placed in my position you'll understand why I've asked it." Tom added. "Sir, we all have a responsibility to speak up if we feel that it is warranted." she affirmed (Reply: Noah, and Brown) Tom turned to their CEO and asked a not so sensitive but essential question. "Chief, what's the technical status of the Soval?" Tom asked.

The Chief Engineer's curiosity was quickly satisfied as Commander Jackson got right to the point. ~The Captain and First Officer eh? Not sure I'm qualified for that evaluation, but I can certainly report within the bounds of my expertise. Can't I?~ "Sir, we all have a responsibility to speak up if we feel that it is warranted," concluded the counselor. Brown cleared his throat quietly then took his turn. "Commander, within the bounds of my profession, as you directed the question...Commander Matrix, both during and after the Captain's absence, and Captain Syuvik, since his return, have both given orders consistent with the duties they both hold. Both of them have given technically correct and 'normal' orders, at least to the engineering department." ~To venture a bit astray, or not?~ "This is much more of a psychological topic than a technical or engineering one... but if anything I think the Captain has been a bit more... hesitant, or perhaps tentative in his decision making." He turned toward the counselor for some sort of affirmation or declination. "Almost as though he was lacking a bit in self confidence perhaps?" (Reply Bruce, Any) After considerable discussion, Jackson turned back to Brown. "Chief, what's the technical status of the Soval?" At last, a question Dan could answer with some degree of certainty! "That's a fairly straightforward one, thank you," he replied with a broad smile at Jackson and the others. "Other than the as yet inexplicable gaps in computer function and sensor data during the actual 'transition' from where we were to where we are, the Soval is essentially fully functional. I'm *still* at a loss to explain the sudden disappearance of the damage we had sustained prior to our transition, and frankly that does concern me. Engineering has a few working theories, but for the time being that is all they are, theoretical." He quickly projected a graphic of the ships' status both before and after the event, with the differences highlighted for clarity. "The reason it worries me sir, is that certain of our theories allow for the sudden re-appearance of the damage, much as it suddenly was gone, it is possible it might return... and at a mission critical juncture." He held up his hand, anticipating the next question. "We are working to come up with a single plausible explanation, as we know you and the rest of the command staff need answers, not possibilities. At the moment sir, that's all we have however," he admitted rather candidly. (Reply Any) (Posted by Russ) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge - Ensign Ansia Rozen - 1125) "Ensign, stop. If I'm not mistaken, you do not recognize some of the people here, right?" Hearing someone finally answering her she stopped and turned to the one speaking. She had not gotten to the Captain's ready room, so, she really had no choice. "uh, correct, where am I and who are you?" she asked looking around to the Lieutenant "I'm sorry to say you have been displaced from reality. You are very likely in an alternate reality. The anomaly we have encountered, and perhaps you did too in your reality, seems to cross path with other realities, causing crew members to switch between them. Eleven of our crew members has disappeared, and it would seem another 13 from other reality just appeared here, and you are one of them. Now, I,m sorry about this and I know how it will make you feel, but since we all know there realities where the Terrains have been a conquering specie enslaving many, I have to ask you not to take offense and to cooperate fully." the Lieutenant said, nodding to the two security officers on the bridge. "Understand that as soon as we have clarified your story and we are certain you pose no threat to this ship, you will be free to help us. But until then, we can't take no chance." Looking confused, "I Ensign Rozen, Captain Syuvik's Yeoman, I pose no threat and what anomaly?" she asked =/\=Syuvik here.=/\= An heard after she asked her question, not hearing the Lieutenant call him. "Captain, Lieutenant Bates. There is a Ensign Anzia Rozen who want to see you. I have no record of her being on the USS Soval, however she claim to be a Yeoman on this ship. She must be another one. How do you want me to proceed?" =/\=Understood Lieutenant. I am in the middle of a meeting. They are numerous enough I don't have the time to meet each appearing crew members individually. Send her down here in security for an analysis. If she has questions, have someone answer them.Since it is now the 13 apparition in the last hour, the number justify we establish a process for any new appearance. We need to have a few security teams tasked with meeting any new appearance and have them brought here in security. Also, warn me when we will be out of this anomaly.=/\= " Yes sir." the Lieutenant answered An heard what the orders were, so, before the lieutenant ordered her to go there with or without escort, she started for the turbo lift. (reply Bates. any) (posted by frank) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge, CIO Lieutenant Jennifer Bates - 1127) As she was finishing discussing with the captain, Jennifer realized the yeoman was walked back towards the turbolift. "Ensign. Where are you going?" She asked. The two women exchanged a look. For a moment, she thought she would be coming back to have a chat. Instead, the ensign turned her attention back to the turbolift. ~ ***** ~ Jennifer thought. "Security. Go with her and make sure she is brought to security right away." she ordered. "Yes ma'am" said one of the security officer. (Reply none) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Bridge, Yeoman - Ensign Ansia Rozen - 1130) "Ensign. Where are you going?" the lieutenant asked Red stopped when she heard the question, turned to look at the Lieutenant. Her thought was to see if the Lieutenant was deaf or did she hear the Captain's order or not, instead she just shook her head then turned back to enter the turbo lift. "Captain's orders first" red said under her breath. Red’s thought was that she was going to have to work in getting along with this Lieutenant, but, she would. "Security. Go with her and make sure she is brought to security right away." Red heard the Lieutenant order. "Yes ma'am" said one of the security officer. "whatever, get in or you'll have to catch me, computer level 8." Red replied to the security officer with a smile. After the security joined her and before anymore was said, she gave the Lieutenant a cute little wave and smile as the door shut. (Reply none) (Posted by Frank) ============ (USS Soval, Deck 8 – Security – Yeoman Ensign Rozen - 1135) “is the Lieutenant always that stuffy to everyone or just me?” Ansia asked the Security officer Ansia looked over, noticing the security officer was at parade rest looking forward. Chuckling, she starts talking again, “looks like I am going to have to liven you up if we are going to keep any kind of association.” Ansia was about to say more, but, the turbo lift doors opened on deck 8. The security officer nudged her out with his hand to her back. “Don’t get pushy Boss, I know where security is son.” she says as she stepps out and heads to the security department. Once she enters, she notices the Captain and walks up to him. When an opening presents itself, she reports. “Captain, Ensign Ansia Rozen reports as ordered. If I may ask, Sir, what is going on?” (reply CO,any) (posted by frank) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, Chief of Security Office, CO Captain Syuvik - 1144) With the meeting over, there were now a few 'appearing officers' who wanted to have a chat with him. However, he had no time to spent briefing the new officers on what was going on. They had a mission to accomplish and they were spending so much time on those missing crew members, Syuvik started to question their ability to well prepare the upcoming away mission. “Captain, Ensign Ansia Rozen reports as ordered. If I may ask, Sir, what is going on?” Syuvik looked at her briefly. Another officer he had never seen before. "Haven't Lieutenant Bates told you what happened?" he asked. (Reply Rozen) Syuvik realized if he started answering their questions, it would never end. He would not be looking very cordial, but he had to cut the conversation short to attend to the larger situation at case. "Then, ensign, I'm sorry but you are not the only one. Please wait here until someone come see you to explain the process and answer your question." he said. His eyes were mostly looking for Lieutenant-Commander Jackson. He finally found him with someone he knew quite well. "Lieutenant Abu Zhuri." Syuvik said. Despite it was a strange situation to meet the guy again....after he had seen him die in the worst condition. "If you would excuse me." Syuvik indicated to Lieutenant-Commander Jackson to follow him in a private place. "Commander, I absolutely need to prepare the away team. Since we have retreated from the anomaly and I no longer need your for this task, I'm giving you this new one. Look over every officer that appeared on our ship, make sure they are medically and psychologically evaluated by Lieutenant-Commander Noah and Lieutenant Bruce. When you have both evaluation, I would like for you, Lieutenant Signos and, if she has time between evaluations, Lieutenant Bruce to make a security risk assessment for each one and if they are not considered a threat, supervise their integration into our crew. In that process, feel free to answer any of their question and, if they ask what is going to happen to them, explain them we have a more pressing mission to attend to before we could start looking for scientific answers as to how to send them back to their reality. So they will have to stay here for a little while." (Reply Jackson) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, Chief of Security Office, Yeoman Ensign Ansia Rozen - 1150) An could see in his eyes that he had no idea who the heck she was. She had no reason why cause she had just seen him a few hours Syuvik looked at her briefly. Another officer he had never seen before. All he had to say to her was, "Haven't Lieutenant Bates told you what happened?" he asked. "You mean the Lieutenant on the bridge? She said a lot of noise about anomalies or somethin. Well there hadn't been last night when i went to bed. Now this morning it seems everything has went to shit over night. One more question Sir, if i may, why don't you know me?" She finished and stood there waiting for a reasonable answer. (Reply captain, any) "Then, ensign, I'm sorry but you are not the only one. Please wait here until someone come see you to explain the process and answer your question." he said. An was a bit upset that her captain would be so rude as ro blow her off like that. She listened to him talk to some other person that a Lt.Commander was talking to, she really knew better than to break in to his conversation, but, she thought that she just might have to soon if she wanted answers. "Lieutenant Abu Zhuri." Syuvik said. "If you would excuse me." The Captain indicated to Lieutenant-Commander to follow him in a private place. "Excuse me Sir, am i going to get any answers?" She said to the two men standing with her fists on her hips looking like she would take them both on if she had to. (Reply Jackson, Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, Chief of Security Office, CO Captain Syuvik - 1154) Syuvik had asked Rozen about what Lieutenant Bates told her. "You mean the Lieutenant on the bridge? She said a lot of noise about anomalies or somethin. Well there hadn't been last night when i went to bed. Now this morning it seems everything has went to shit over night. One more question Sir, if i may, why don't you know me?" It seemed she would not take 'wait' for an answer. "Ensign. You are in an alternate universe where you have never been part of the USS Soval crew." he said. Then, to end this conversation right away, he added. "I'm sorry but you are not the only one. Please wait here until someone come see you to explain the process and answer your question." he said and left. Syuvik was then discussing private matters with Lieutenant-Commander Jackson when she interrupted them. "Excuse me Sir, am i going to get any answers?" Syuvik tried to find Lieutenant Bruce in the room to tell her to take care of that ensign. He then turned to the ensign. "Ensign, if you were part of my reality and my crew, I would consider such behavior as insubordination. As I said, you are not the only one. You will have your answer but let us deal with the situation first. Now, if you disrupt the work of any of us once again, I will have to put you in the brig and you will have to wait much longer for answers." Syuvik said. He didn't know how Starfleet was in her reality, but here our behavior was unacceptable. (Reply Rozen) He returned to Jackson. "I believe you understand now commander that this won't be an easy task and that is why I need you to take charge." (Reply Jackson) (Posted by Nick) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 8, Chief of Security Office, Yeoman Ensign Ansia Rozen - 1200) "Ensign. You are in an alternate universe where you have never been part of the USS Soval crew." he said. An could feel that the Captain was getting fed up with her then. The Captain wanted to end this conversation right away, he added. "I'm sorry but you are not the only one. Please wait here until someone come see you to explain the process and answer your question." he said and left. "Excuse me Sir, am i going to get any answers?" she asked The Captain seemed to be done with her as it looked like he was looking around for someone that could help her, but, ansered her again showing his lack of patience with her. He then turned to the ensign. "Ensign, if you were part of my reality and my crew, I would consider such behavior as insubordination. As I said, you are not the only one. You will have your answer but let us deal with the situation first. Now, if you disrupt the work of any of us once again, I will have to put you in the brig and you will have to wait much longer for answers." Syuvik said. An knew then that the Captain had run out of patience with her, "Aye sir" she answered him. (reply none) (posted by Frank) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 31, Stellar Cartography, FO Steven Matrix - 1211) Inspections aside Matrix had a hunch given some of the information that was acquired over the past few days. Its analysis required a hands on approach. "No thank you Ensign, but I appreciate the offer." replied Matrix to the young and rather confused officer. It wasn't everyday the FO came into your lab unannounced and demanded playtime with some of the most complex and advanced instrumentation made, especially without an authorized schedule. Days prior, Matrix has created several algorithms to do the lion share of the scanning and processing he needed. The last thing he wanted was a bunch of curious officers and crew personnel looking over his shoulder or pouring over the telemetry results and asking questions. "Sir...I would be amiss of my duties if I didn't insist on assisting you. Perhaps we can schedule whatever you need done..." stated the looming Ensign. "Ensign...I set the schedules and I assure you this is within my prerogative to alter anything you have going on at the moment." interrupted Matrix. "...its just we already have a backlog of work and whatever it is you're doing is going to..." "If anyone has an issue you can tell them to take it up with the first officer. I won't be more than an hour." continued Matrix. "But sir...we're running a science package now and if you..." "DISMISSED Ensign!" grunted Matrix. The young ensign blushed, tucked tail and left Matrix alone. ~Good...algorithms loaded, cross checked. Science I and II processing has been saved and paused.~ The encryption algorithm Matrix entered to secure the console and analysis processes had his senior authorization code which should keep the curious out...or at least, he hoped, limit questions. Matrix launched the algorithm and watched the choreographed telemetry checks and calibration routines step through the programmed commands. Within moments the various sensor arrays began to reach out to the stars and the void of space for information. The display returned, "Expected results and analysis in 54 minutes, 13 seconds." (Reply None) (Posted by Steve) ============ (USS Soval - Deck 31, Stellar Cartography, FO Steven Matrix - 1221) Matrix launched the algorithm and watched the choreographed telemetry checks and calibration routines step through the programmed commands. Within moments the various sensor arrays began to reach out to the stars and the void of space for information. The display returned, "Expected results and analysis in 54 minutes, 13 seconds." As the telemetry started to filter in, analyzed and displayed, Matrix poured over the information. It wasn't long before his hunch was confirmed. The results confirmed temporal signatures. Artificial temporal signatures. That could only mean one thing and now he had definitive proof. The cross checking algorithm still had to scrutinize all of the results, but Matrix was satisfied. The projected level of accuracy was already calculated to be over 83%, but there were exabytes of data to process and that would take time. A lot of time. "I'm sorry sir...but he came in and took over Science I and II stations and paused your routines. He said to take it up with the first officer if there were any complaints." continued the returning ensign. "Who the hell are you and what gives you the authority to make changes to the research schedules!?" shouted a voice immediately behind Matrix. Matrix sighed and turned to greet his accusers. "Forgive me...Lieutenant Commander...?" asked Matrix. "I am Lieutenant Commander Owen and you have ruined hours of work by pausing our telemetry scans." "My apologies Commander, but this work takes priority due to our current proximity in this quadrant. I believe you can simply resume your scans and processing once I've completed my work here." replied Matrix. "This is absurd! You can bet I will take it up with the first officer! What is your name?" asked Owen. "Commander Matrix, first officer. How about we discuss this in my office today around 1500 Commander?

"I should have come right here and saved myself a few hours stuck in a turbolift." (Reply: Signos, IYW) Hartmann raised his hands and plopped into a chair. "Sorry, Chief," Hartmann said, "I'll behave." He rotated in his seat to take in his surroundings. Seated across the room he spied another dark haired young woman. ~At least the ship has some nice scenery,~ he smiled to himself. ~I just hope this one is friendlier.~ "Hello, Ensign," he greeted her with a wave.

Trying to prevent a genocide wouldn't allow for much sleep and recreation. So exceptionnally, he allowed the beta shift to finish early today so that his most valuable officers would have the time to relax and sleep and get prepared for what was to come. If that was true for his crew, Syuvik prefered to keep working on the current mission. He was reviewing with his friend and CIO Lieutenant Bates the data on that moment in time. It was not very long after the Quezalth ended their relation with the Federation and asked them to withdraw from the planet. Based on what they knew, the only federation staff that was left now was the few embassy personnel who were closing the building. They had the list of all official embassy personnel. They were about 23 left. If section 31 was indeed the one who perpetrated the genocide, it was likely their operatives were among the 23. Not all of them, but certainly a few. They would need some official people on the ground to ease access to those restricted areas and goes were under cover couldn't go. As a member of Starfleet Intelligence, Syuvik valued Jennifer advice on the matter. But it was going very well. "They all have very normal records. Nothing would suggest affiliation to section 31, or any marginal thoughts or a personnality that would be more prone. I don't think we are going to find our operatives simply by looking at their resume." she said, a bit disappointed the efforts wasn't really rewarding. "I concur. However, knowing those records could help us later on help us make connection that we wouldn't have otherwise." said Syuvik. "But if you would prefer to spend the time at ten forward rather than here, there would be no shame, Jennifer." "For you perhaps not... But I still have fresh in my memory being arrested and accused of genocide. No way I am going to let this happen a second time. I will find the true murderers. I won't be at ease until I do." "Here, look at this one." Syuvik said. "Nah. Too obvious. Everyone made mistakes in their youth. That doesn't make them more prone to section 31." Jennifer said. "No, but that nevertheless means he was lacking focus and discipline when he was younger. That could have led him to follow bad influences, and could be more prone to fall victims to section 31 brainwashing." "You can keep it aside, but I wouldn't put too much hope." she said. "I have no hope, I am merely assessing propensity". They were suddenly interrupted when someone ran at the door.

Tom Jackson, ACSO Ensign Yeates - Day 15 - 1732) Tom and Callum Yeates were meeting in the lounge getting to know each other a bit better. "Callum, in situations like this, please call me Tom Ok?" Tom asked. "Ok Tom. Its nice to be able to sit down and have a drink with a few friends once in awhile" Yeates said followed by a smile as he and Hartman Sat down. Tom smiled and greeted his crew mates. "Hello Callum, Alex" Tom said. Ensign Hartman greeted the other two. Thanks for the invitation," Alex said to Yeates as they sat down. "I could really use a little something after the day I've had." He turned and nodded to Jackson. "Hello, Commander. I apologize for all the confusion I caused earlier. Hopefully it won't happen again." Tom chuckled and added "Nothing like a grand entrance Alex". "Yes," Alex smiled, "and that was nothing like one." " To be honest I thought it was a little dramatic" Replied Ensign Yeates with a laught. The three sat and chatted a big - nothing of consequence. Just three friends relaxing. Another crew mate entered and headed over to join the three friends. It was their chief counsellor Cecilia Bruce who ordered herself a drink. "I would like to try one of those,” Red said as she walked in seeing Lt. Commander Jackson with Ensign Yeates, who she saw in sickbay and another Ensign she had not met. Walking over to them she stopped by the two she knew and gave them both a peck on the cheek and extended her hand to the new Ensign. “I am Lt. (jg) Cecilia Bruce, glad to meet you Ensign.” "Likewise, Ensign," Hartmann replied, shaking her offered hand. "Ah Lt Cecilia Very nice to see you again" Ensign Yeates says with a blush. She eyes the Tamarian Frost with suspicion then looks at Ensign Hartmann, Smilling, “Can I trust you that this is a great drink?” Giggiling, “I am just kidding, I am sure I will like it.” She takes a sip and is pleasantly surprised then nods to the ensign letting him know she likes it. Looking at the other two, “Ok you guys how are you coming along? It is good for everyone to have time to release their tension.” She thought of asking them about all the new personnel, but, this was a time to relax. Tom raised his German beer and said in a toast " To good friends and safe voyages". "Hear Hear" Said Ensign Yeates Raising his glass. "Well I'm still a little confused of the current situation ,What with losing my memory and all. But In High Spirits to be gathered here with friends" Ensign Yeates proclaimed raising his glass of vulcan port. Hartman wearily raised his glass. "I'll drink to both of those." He took a sip of his drink and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Glad you like the Frost," he grinned to the counselor. "I find it rather soothing, myself. Mixes well with vodka too." "I agree it is rather soothing indeed" Red replied then sitting herself next to Yeates "ok, what is your first name? handsome." " My First name is Callum" Replied Ensign Yeates "O.k. folks- a ground rule. When we are meeting in a social setting, I prefer using first names - any objections?" Jackson asked. " None what so ever" Replied Ensign Yeates. "Fine by me, as long as you don't call me 'Al'," Hartmann said. "Alexander works, or just Alex." "agreed, You may call me Red or Cecilia" she answered.

She eyes the Tamarian Frost with suspicion then looks at Ensign Hartmann, Smilling, “Can I trust you that this is a great drink?” Giggiling, “I am just kidding, I am sure I will like it.” She takes a sip and is pleasantly surprised then nods to the ensign letting him know she likes it. Looking at the other two, “Ok you guys how are you coming along? It is good for everyone to have time to release their tension.” She thought of asking them about all the new personnel, but, this was a time to relax. Tom raised his German beer and said in a toast " To good friends and safe voyages". "Hear Hear" Said Ensign Yeates Raising his glass. "Well I'm still a little confused of the current situation ,What with losing my memory and all, But In High Spirits to be gathered here with friends" Ensign Yeates proclaimed raising his glass of vulcan port. Hartman wearily raised his glass. "I'll drink to both of those." He took a sip of his drink and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. "Glad you like the Frost," he grinned to the counselor. "I find it rather soothing, myself. Mixes well with vodka too." "I agree it is rather soothing indeed" Red replied then sitting herself next to Yeates "ok, what is your first name? handsome." " My First name is Callum" Replied Ensign Yeates "O.k. folks- a ground rule. When we are meeting in a social setting, I prefer using first names - any objections?" Jackson asked. " None what so ever" Replied Ensign Yeates. "Fine by me, as long as you don't call me 'Al'," Hartmann said. "Alexander works, or just Alex." “Agreed, You may call me Red or Cecilia" she answered. "I'd like to know more about each of you beyond what's in your personnel files" Tom asked. "I'll go first" Tom offered. Tom thought for a moment before replying. "I have a most unusual step-dad. He is a Ferengi named Pez. He was once the Grand Negus" Tom added grinning. Red took a second look at Tom then went back to her drink. The counselor part of her wanted to delve more into what Tom had just revealed but this was not the place. “Well, that is interesting. I don’t think I have anything to top that.” she answered then she added, “I brought my daughter with me. Her name is Anastasha.” "No high-ranking politicians in my family either," Alex chuckled, "but we have had at least one pilot per generation, stretching back to the early twentieth century. I'm the first to join Starfleet, though." "Both my parents currently serve in starfleet, my father on the military side and my mother on Mars Orbital Science Station. I studied under the Vulcan Science Council at a young age. My grandfather is a Vice admiral but I will refrain from saying which Vice Admiral" Ensign Yeates Told everyone. They simply sat and enjoyed the company of the others.

Tom Jackson, ACSO Ensign Yeates - Day 15 - 1732) Tom and Callum Yeates were meeting in the lounge getting to know each other a bit better. "Callum, in situations like this, please call me Tom Ok?" Tom asked. Ensign Yeates having the habit to call people by their last names quickly followed with "Ok Tom. Its nice to be able to sit down and have a drink with a few friends once in awhile" and gave smile as he and Hartman Sat down. Tom returned the smiled and greeted his crew mates. "Hello Callum, Alex" Tom said. Ensign Hartman greeted the other two. Thanks for the invitation," Alex said to Yeates as they sat down. "I could really use a little something after the day I've had." He turned and nodded to Jackson. "Hello, Commander. I apologize for all the confusion I caused earlier. Hopefully it won't happen again." Tom chuckled and added "Nothing like a grand entrance Alex". "Yes," Alex smiled, "and that was nothing like one." " To be honest I thought it was a little dramatic" Replied Ensign Yeates with a laugh. The three sat and chatted a big - nothing of consequence. Just three friends relaxing. Another crew mate entered and headed over to join the three friends. It was their chief counselor Cecilia Bruce who ordered herself a drink. "I would like to try one of those,” Red said as she walked in seeing Lt. Commander Jackson with Ensign Yeates, who she saw in sickbay and another Ensign she had not met. Walking over to them she stopped by the two she knew and gave them both a peck on the cheek and extended her hand to the new Ensign. “I am Lt.

Besides, we all have a lot of work to do tomorrow.” Red said as she finished off her second drink then putting her glass down. She then stood up (reply any) (posted by frank) ============ USS Soval, Ten Foward , CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 1809) "Perhaps you'd be willing to give me some instruction?" Hartmann asked "I plan on it, standards must be maintained and mine are extremely high." Good," Alex smiled, "I won't disappoint you. Now back to the matter at hand. Is there anything I can help you do with all these PADDs?" She motioned to the PADDs before her. "Dig in all the displaced personnel need to be researched and have a background check to determine whether they are a threat to the Soval or not." She pressed a her PADD a few times making some key notes. Before speaking again. "I have to ask, but what was your reality like. What was going on, I understand that you were new to the Soval but I am curious?" Has she spoke she smiled slyly, tilting her head ever so slightly. This to was part of her duty. Bringing each person is a questioning then about there past or the reality they came from helped to determine each persons threat level. If they come from a reality where the Soval was a rogue ship or worse a ship working for Section 31 would mean anyone from those realities would be harder to trust. But first those people had to be identified, and that was the hard part.

But first those people had to be identified, and that was the hard part. "It's hard to say how my reality differs from this one," Alex replied, "I'm not too familiar with yours. In fact, until Ensign Rozen clued me in, I had no idea I wasn't in my own universe anymore." He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm not in my own universe anymore," he repeated in a voice just above a whisper. "How did that even happen? When did it happen? I must have flown through the anomaly on my way to my own Soval and wound up on this one." "Well, I suppose there must be some differences," Alex said to Jessica as he picked a PADD from the pile. "I mean, if they were exactly parallel, then this universe's Alex Hartmann would have been headed here at the same time, and as far as I know there's only one of me here. Wait a minute!" A curious smile crossed his face. "Could there be another me somewhere in this universe? Maybe I can meet myself someday!" He turned his attention back to the PADD in his hands. "Anyway, if there's anything specific you'd like to know I'll do my best to fill you in." (Reply Signos) (NRPG: Should any of the PADDs reveal something dangerous about the displaced crew?) (Posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval, Deck 10 Ten forward , CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 1817) "Anyway, if there's anything specific you'd like to know I'll do my best to fill you in." Answered Hartmann. Jessica though for a moment it was a tricky area to be in how could she question him about his reality when she was working on a tactical plan to go back Quazlth which could lead to the mass genocide of the local populace. "What political events was your federation engaged in, did the federation civil war happen, was the federation of your reality engaged in battles or skirmishes with other races?" She asked at thoughts lenght. (Reply Hartmann ) Finally she got to the pressing hard questions. "What do you know of Section 31, there opertions, or operatives?" In this her tone turned cold. She needed to know. If Section 31 was the cause of the explosion could it be possible to inplant an agent in the temporal rift anomaly. She watched Hartmann closely his answers did not matter. A Section 31 agent would answer with what she wanted to hear. She was watching him for the small quirks a person exhibits when they are lieing.

"What political events was your federation engaged in, did the federation civil war happen, was the federation of your reality engaged in battles or skirmishes with other races?" She asked at thoughts lenght. "Whoa, one question at a time," Alex grinned. "We...." he trailed off and looked at Jessica, dropping the PADD he had been inspecting. "Did you," he started, then looked around the room nervously. He leaned in close to Jessica and spoke in a near whisper. "Did you say civil war?" he asked incredulously. "As in Starfleet versus Starfleet? No, we definitely did not have that! We haven't had a real war since we beat back the Dominion. I mean the Borg are always a problem and we're not exactly best friends with the Klingons, Cardassians or Romulans, but we're not openly at war with anyone, especially not Starfleet!" Finally she got to the pressing hard questions. "What do you know of Section 31, there opertions, or operatives?" In this her tone turned cold. She needed to know.

A Section 31 agent would answer with what she wanted to hear. She was watching him for the small quirks a person exhibits when they are lieing. Hartmann's mind was still reeling from the revelation of dissention within Starfleet, and the way Signos talked about this Section 31 sent a sudden chill down his spine. "Section 31? If we had one, I never heard about it. From the way you sound, I'm guessing it's not a good thing?" (Reply: Signos) (posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval, Bridge Turbolift , CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 1821) "Understand we have 13 people from different realities we have to be sure of some of those will be from peaceful realities like yours.

Jessica replied in an attempt to ease Hartmann's fears. Alex took a deep breath. Jessica's reassurances helped him get his emotions in check. "Understood, Chief," he said. "I'll keep an open mind." As he resumed checking the PADDs, he absentmindedly grabbed Signos' glass of wine and took a sip. The glass was still on his lips when his eyes widened, suddenly aware of what he'd just done. "S-sorry Chief!" he stammered, setting the glass down. "I'll get you another one!" He hastily stood and made his way to the bar. As the bartender poured a new glass, he ran a sleeve across his brow to wipe off the sweat that suddenly appeared. ~I am so getting kicked off this ship~ he thought as he made his way back to the table. (Reply Signos) (Posted by Tony Dalessio) ============ (USS Soval, Deck 10, Ten Foward , CTO Ensign sg Jessica Signos, 1825) Jessica was lost while Hartmann poorer though the PADDs with data of the new personnel. Jessica was looking over details of the Quazlth capital. She had to be prepared, of any little detail. Because if she missed something it was she that was going to be tried for genocide. A crime that she did not commit but her past made it quite easy for the blame to fall on her shoulders. She reached for her wine hoping to take another sip when to her surprise the glass was gone. She glanced up seeing Hartmann with her cup to his lips. She watched as his eyes went wide with the dawning of what he had accomplished coming clear into his mind. "Sorry Chief" Hartmann stammered, "I'll get you another one!" He spoke quickly trying to escape his embarrassment the words jumbled as he made his way to the bar, at one point Jessica thought he was going to trip over his own feet. It was clear it he was nervous. She waited for Hartmann to return, with the wine. She motioned for him to return to his seat. "You know if you were that thirsty all you had to do was ask." It was an off handed comment. Hartmann needed to relax to feel at ease in his new environment. He was quick to please but if this was all it took for him to loose his cool how would he handle a fire fight. (Reply Hartmann ) "First relax, I am not upset nor angry. This all helps. The only way we can hold together when things get rough is by knowing how we act now. The smallest gestures can make a difference when the timing is right." ( Reply Hartmann ) It was easier said then done has Hartmann was finding out and she chuckled slightly.
