Stitching the Rift

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

Until the Captain returns, the previous storyline thread has been locked and a new one created.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

The Captain, the Gul, had been ordered to a meeting by Starfleet Command. They hadn't given a reason for the meeting. Deka assumed they had somehow heard about the Section 31 weapon or Trevious's proposed involvement but needed further information. She smiled thinking how frustrated they were likely to become if they questioned Delor on the matter. He was both charming and charismatic and could deflect a question as easily as swat a gnat. Rather than dock at Starbase 234, Trevious had been assigned border patrol, a sure sign that this meeting was likely to take some time.

The ops panel flashed an incoming message.

Starfleet Alert:

The rift events are becoming more frequent. Any Science vessels who have observed one are authorized to investigate. Any other vessels you are to consider any calls for aid a priority over current assignments.


She acknowledged the message and checked the time. Delta shift would be ending in a couple of hours. It was quiet. A perfect time to think and reflect while others dreamt.

Proximity alarms shattered the silence. On the main viewscreen where previously there had been nothing but stars, space had been ripped open in a long white hot wound. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the intensity and as she did, felt that the ship was being pulled toward the rift. Before she could order evasives, the light was extinguished. Deka blinked to restore her vision but still she doubted what she saw. The starfield was gone and the ship was in orbit around an unknown planet.

"Operations, what is our location? What planet is that?"

"I'm unable to get a stable reading on our location." The officer replied. "However, I can identify the planet. It's Denius III."

[Lt Tail Kinker To~Settle Sand]

She was asleep in her in quarters swagger lair when the proxity alerts activated across the ship. She started away, starting so much that she knocked the lair out of balacnce and with a started yelp she fell out and to the floor, landing on all fours

"What in Sivaoan's whisker's is going on here?" She asked herself aloud. She felt the ship shudderiing as if it were being pulled somewhere or being attacked, she wasn't sure which

A bright light flashed into her veiwport, she having to look away from the light with a help, her arm coming up to shield her eyes. She needed to get to the bridge. Now. She quickly looked around her quarters, it being furnished with only the basics, for her uniform.She then shook her head, making a hissing sound, telling herself to forget her uniform then searched for her comm badge and rank pins, both attached to small wrist cuffs. She put them on, once found, turned and loped out of her quarters

She made it to the bridge a minute later, hearing Ops report on a planet named Denius III "What is Sivaoan's whiskers happened?" She asked the female commander, moving over to the Tactical station to take sensor readings, relieving the Delta shift officer

[LtJg Dr. Reeba Davenport]

She was sleeping on an empty biobed when then Proximity alarms blared, she jumped up off the bed,when she stood she felt the ship being pulled like it was in a powerful tractor beam "Get ready we may have incoming"

Tapping her Com Badge"Whats Happening? Sickbay is standing By" she reported

[TahlandiLaren]

Laren sat in her office with a satisfied smile. She done it. After several weeks she had finally caught all the reports up. He predecessor had been sloppy, but she knew Captain Delon and Commander Rekalans since of order. She had taken a celebratory sip of coffee when the proximity alerts went off. She didn't know the problem, but both her curiosity and her sense that she and only she could protect the Trevious sprung her to action. Her presents was required on the bridge, at least she thought it was.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

Deka stared at the planet for a long moment, her chin resting on the back on her hand.

"Denius III. There was an Inconian device found here that contained a starmap showing the way to Iconia." She said aloud but to no one in particular.

"Cancel the alert and try to establish contact with anyone outside " She called to Ops then opened a ship-wide channel. "Attention all personnel. By all appearances, Trevious has found or perhaps been found by one of the numerous "rift" events, occurring recently within various sectors. The rift has taken us, also apparently for we can not verify these readings with our own instruments, into orbit around Denius III. Our choices are to wait and hope that the rift will reopen or if we are very fortunate, find a way to control and reopen the rift ourselves. Engineering and Science will begin work on the latter immediately." She closed the comm.

"Helm, maintain standard orbit. Security, assist Operations and scan the planet for lifeforms, structures, any signs of civilisation, current or ancient." Deka ordered as, even with her back to the lift, she could sense the Bajoran officer had arrived. "Tactical." Her eyes swept over the half dressed Sivaoan at her station. "Stand by on alert."

[TahlandiLaren]

Laren was already on the bridge when the call came. She was impatient when the proximity alert went out. She didn't much enjoy working with the acting Operations officer. His name was Clark Stern. He smelled of grease and was barely qualified for his job. "Its the mouseketeer" He said as she approached. It was something she detested. She frowned.

"If you call me that again," She said seriously. "I'm going to break your arm."

"Just being friendly 'chiefy', " He chuckled. "Just being friendly"

"How about you just be professional and start the scan." She walked over to her console and collated the data. "Ma'am, there is a small group of humanoid life forms on the planet, but I can't see anymore. I can't confirm whether they are indigenous to the planet."

[Chief Robert Lang]

Lang was not on the bridge, but it did not take him long to get there. The science officer was one June Bradshaw. She was an adequate science officer, but unfortunately the two had a extremely short lived affair and had not talked since then. "Hello June" He smiled.

"That's Lieutenant Bradshaw, Chief Lang."She gave him a cold look then turned her nose up.

"Apologies Lieutenant." Lang knew this would be a long shift. He started studying the rift. "Maybe if we channel tachyons through the deflector dish it might reopen the rift."

She turned surprised. "That's actually a good idea. More than I expected from you. I'll send the suggestion to Commander Rekalan's console. " She sent the proposal.

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

Tacyons? Deka received the recommendation from the Engineer and arched an eyebrow as she turned to him.

"Why tacyons? Have you studied the physics of this rift? Does it share anything in common with the other similar events that have been reported? And, if it should work, will we be back where we started or transported somewhere entirely different? I need to know why you're making this particular recommendation, Mr.Lang."

[Chief Robert Lang]

He turned realizing his 'ruse' of having the idea presented by someone else was not working."We only have the information from visual sensors and view ports. Since I have no sensors to prove it, I am hypothesizing that the rifts are still there only we don't have the instrumentation available to see them. The tachyons will create instability if they are and hopefully make them visible."

[Lt Tail Kinker To~Settle Sand]

She listened to the commander as she answered her question as well as opened a comm link to speak to the rest of the crew, speaking about how they found a rift, or it found them, whichever the case may be. The results were that they fell through it. Now the problem was how to get back through it. Whether by artificial means or natural. Science and Engineering would start working on the Artificial means

Her ears perked up a little as the female commander addressed her "Yess, Commanderr. As alwayss."

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

She nodded slowly. "There's risk. Destabilizing the rift may be sticking our hands into a nest of voles. Just because it opens doesn't mean we can go in and could mean something worse might come out." She glanced at Tactical and then back to Lang. "Do it, but take every possible precaution".

[Lt. Greg Dooglus]

He had just gotten on at SB 234 and just put his things in his quarters, the proximity alert went off and he made his way to the bridge and heard the Exchange between Laren and the Ops officer, when the bridge finished talking he handed LtCmdr Deka his Padd to her "Lt Greg Dooglus OPS Officer reporting for duty" he salutes.

When the COmmander is done he turns. And nods to OPS and relives the, officer on duty, then sets down and begins studing the view screen, and looked over the data before the proximity alert went off, he would tilt head a bit, their was something about this but he could not put his finger on it he wont say anything with out being sure.

[Zadex Ur'ack]

Zadex was sleeping under the powerful sun lamp in her quarters. She needed to do that every so often. In each generation it was less often but the scientist thought it would reach a certain point.

She jumped when she heard the alarms, with a hiss as her tail sweeped the surrounding area to hit anything that was approaching her. As her eyelids openned fully her left arm raised as the razor sharp claw were poised to attack.

She put on her uniform quickly and ran to the bridge. Moveing silently and swifty she took over her post and placed them in standard orbit.

"Ma'am wwe arree inn stanndarrd oorrbit waitinng fforr youurr orrderrss."

[LtCmdr Deka Rekalan]

TREVIOUS ACTION

A ship appears on the viewscreen. Scans can not confirm it. As it comes closer however , it can be seen it is a Galaxy Class vessel. Judging by it's course and rate of speed, it will collide with Trevious in approximately ten seconds.
