Retor EtoK: It won't open; let's try manual override. Ael tVecj: Retor EtoK: Grab on. . . let's pull. Mercura A: Good ::sighs in relief:: KYele: ::nods:: Ael tVecj: We are? Good, some time... KYele: Hang on... let me check the passive tachyon sensors... Retor EtoK: ::pulls hard:: Mercura A: In that case, recommend we figure out what's going on before communicating Retor EtoK: Ugg! It won't open. KYele: ::goes to the science console and activates the tachyon sensors:: Retor EtoK: Do you have a disrupter?

Ael tVecj: ::glances at K'Yele::: Retor EtoK: ::shoots door down:: KYele: Enarrain... there are nearly forty cloaked Klling'hann ships spread out behind us. Mercura A: ::sees him out of corner of her eye, maternal protective thingy kicking in:: Retor EtoK: ACTION: A hissing noise in torpedo bay KYele: We appear to be at point... the flagship. Retor EtoK: ::looks in closet:: Retor EtoK: I must have damaged the torpedos. Ael tVecj: Indeed. Mercura A: ::smiles at him, turns back to helm or whatever:: Ael tVecj: Retor EtoK: They are probably stored in immobile gases Retor EtoK: This must be toxic. Retor EtoK: We have to get out of here! ::runs out: Ael tVecj: Best not to tell them who we are, then...::frowns, a bit frightened by all this:: KYele: ::nods:: KYele: But, Enarrain... Retor EtoK: Computer, seal off torpedo bay. KYele: What about that battlecruiser? KYele: They haven't seen us yet. Retor EtoK: +COM+ Etok to Enarrain. KYele: Nor the fleet behind us. Retor EtoK: +COM+ We have an emergency. You have just entered room ÒFKA HnoiyikaÓ CylisCohen: ::talking to self:: Now if I could find their Rihan language CylisCohen: files, I could understand this scribled gibrish. Ael tVecj: +COM+ I am well aware of that, Etok? Ael tVecj: KYele: Eton... we've travelled back in time. We are on a Klling'hann ship. Retor EtoK: +COM+ While trying to open a storage door, we punctured a container of torpedos Ael tVecj: KYele: Cloaked, with a fleet of other cloaked ships behind us. Retor EtoK: +COM+ They are stored in toxic gases that may soon circulate through the vents EtonTrSaal: Where's the hnoyika and the crew of this ship? KYele: We appear to be heading towards a lone Rihannsu battlecruiser. KYele: I don't know.. Retor EtoK: +COM+ Further, the torpedos are much more volative since they are not stored properly EtonTrSaal: Orders, rekkhai? Ael tVecj: +COM+ Great, EtoK... do whatever you can to keep us from exploding... Erv tResan: ::on the bridge:: Retor EtoK: +COM+ Any harsh impact could triger an explosion. Mercura A: ::meeps:; AtotrLycus: ::sits in a chair:: Ael tVecj: ::nods to Lera:: Work with Tylus descrambling the systems... Retor EtoK: +COM+ We could open the bay doors and let them get sucked out Retor EtoK: +COM+ But then we'd be without torpedos AtotrLycus: K'yele, we're attacking it. Ael tVecj: +COM+ And that ship out there would pick them up... CylisCohen: ::finds Something that looks like it *could* be a universal translator:: EtonTrSaal: What? Eirl tKaen: are they strapped in? Did you notice? Ael tVecj: C'eryl...see if you can get an identification on that ship. EtonTrSaal: Why are we doing that? Retor EtoK: ::heading in lift: Na, I did not. Retor EtoK: I didn't get a good look. KYele: ::looks at Ato:: KYele: What? Retor EtoK: I just heard the hiss. Mercura A: Ie. ::looks at it:: Eirl tKaen: we could go in with gas masks on, secure them, then suck out the air. without air, no explos Eirl tKaen: ion is possible Ilia tReki: ::wincing, trying to follow the different conversations and piece together the situation:: Mercura A: ::looks at conrols:: Ummm... Erv tResan: Descrambling? Retor EtoK: I would be hesistant; they could go off at any time while we're in there. EtonTrSaal: AtotrLycus: We're in a kll'inghann ship! With more of them! Mercura A: ::tries something that might magnify view, maybe pick up registration number or something:: Ael tVecj: Making these etret...computers...readable.

Eirl tKaen: Retor EtoK: Ael tVecj: ACTION:::::an waft of air brushes the torpedoes::: EtonTrSaal: Eirl tKaen: how long to you think we have? Retor EtoK: Without the inert gasses protecting them, they could react with any substance. Erv tResan: (m) They look readable to me... Eirl tKaen: AtotrLycus: ::looks at t'Vecj:: Uh-oh. CylisCohen: Um....::to terminal:: fvai! Dog. EtonTrSaal: ::shuts up, stands in the back:: Erv tResan: You mean make the displays in Rihannsu?

Mercura A: On the Hnoiyika Ael tVecj: ::glances around at the Kll'inghannan markings on the old battle bridge:: KYele: ACTION: The number Ceryl spies is 4501. AtotrLycus: They're on our new ship, in our time! Retor EtoK: We could go in in gas masks and remove the air to prevent an explosion AtotrLycus: ::rubs his head:: By the Elements... Ael tVecj: Hann'yyo for making this all a bit worse, Ato... Mercura A: ACK! It's the Original Hnoiyika!!! Retor EtoK: But our presence would somehow provoke an explosion EtonTrSaal: How would air have any effect on the torpedoes? KYele: ::looks over:: What!?! Ael tVecj: ::shocked by C'eryl's outburst:::Eh? Retor EtoK: Their fuses react with various gases EtonTrSaal: Oh... Mercura A: The ship! It's the Hnoiyika! The original one!! CylisCohen: Okay. ::to terminal::Language display modifier. ::equivelent in KLingon:: Retor EtoK: That's what actually triggers the explosion Ael tVecj: You are probably right, Ato... in that case..we need to get home, as quickly as possible.

EtonTrSaal: Does this have anything to do with the fact the the original Hnoiyika is a Klingon design? Ael tVecj: The new Hnoiyika (oft misnomered the Predator), while testing out its engines, Ael tVecj: slingshot around an unfortunate AQS. Retor EtoK: ::raises hand:: Ael tVecj: And through some weird freak of nature/technology, KYele: ::glares at Retor:: Retor EtoK: ::lowers hand:: Mercura A: Ael tVecj: Ael tVecj: the lifeforms on the Hnoiyika switched places with those aboard the AtotrLycus: Ael tVecj: IKC Vulture, three years in the past. KYele: Ael tVecj: At V'Tashe. EtonTrSaal: Ael tVecj: The recognition of the Hnoiyika's Kll'inghannan design is only for nostalgia's sake... AtotrLycus: Ael tVecj: We're used to Klling'hannan workmanship, if not language. Ael tVecj: EtonTrSaal: Ael tVecj: The Rihannsu bought the Hnoiyika from the Klingons, long long ago. EtonTrSaal: ::confused:: KYele: <::glares at them all:: Silence!> Ael tVecj: I believe by the time the Hnoiyika's "maiden" voyage came about, the ship was 80 years old. Ael tVecj: Post TOS, Pre movies....before those nasty Klingon/Rihannsu wars. EtonTrSaal: Eh? I didn't know there were any... EtonTrSaal: ::confused:: Ael tVecj: Read your histories. EtonTrSaal: What histories? Ael tVecj: The Rihannsu ones. AtotrLycus: Ah. "Lost Years"-era. Retor EtoK: Ack!! Just accept it! Ael tVecj: The Rihannsu bought ships from the Klingons because they were cheap. EtonTrSaal: What rihansu histories? Ael tVecj: And here we are. Ael tVecj: Eton, there *is* a recommended reading list for this sim. EtonTrSaal: someone mentioned some books, but didn't give me any titles or anything. EtonTrSaal: I've never seen this list. KYele: May I continue with the present and future of our current situation? Ael tVecj: Just accept that the first Hnoiyika was Klingon, and it has *nothing* Ael tVecj: to do with this plotline. EtonTrSaal: I do. Ael tVecj: Present, ie, K'Yele. The future remains unknown. EtonTrSaal: ::shuts up, glares, wonders wht people expect him to knw things they've never told him:: KYele: Presently, we are on the Vulture. We have 40 Klingon ships behind us. KYele: Preparing to destroy the Hnoiyika of the past, which would kill us all. Erv tResan: ::hides behind a plant, with Ilia:: KYele: We must stop that from happening in any way we can. EtonTrSaal: ::raises his hand:: KYele: If we succeed, history will repeat itself. KYele: The Hnoiyika will draw the Klingons into a nebula... KYele: And destroy the entire fleet. KYele: Eton? EtonTrSaal: Um...you can't change the past, because any changes you make have heppened before you left.. EtonTrSaal: ...so even if you trewvel in time, the fact that you did so means you didn't cause yourself KYele: No, no, no. KYele: This is a causality loop, Eton. AtotrLycus: A paradox? Ilia tReki: KYele: Our coming back in time was predestined, part of history. EtonTrSaal: ::shrugs, figues it's star trek, so what the hell:: KYele: If we hadn't come back, the fleet would have destroyed this Hnoiyika. KYele: But we did come back, and because of that the Hnoiyika won. KYele: And continued for three years until it went back into the past. KYele: Don't worry, we get out of the loop by returning to the time we left. CylisCohen: ::for a second thinks he comprehends this....is suddenly CylisCohen: sucked into his own skull where a time vortex has CylisCohen: formed:: Mercura A: KYele: Oh, and just so you all know, we succeed. KYele: First, because the good guys always win. EtonTrSaal: We have to, because we wewnt back in the first place. KYele: Second, because we are alive to succeed, for if we didn't succeed, we'd be dead three years KYele: back. Ilia tReki: Doesn't mean we can't be destroyed along with the fleet by the past Hnoiyika. :) KYele: Exactly. KYele: That is what we have to avoid. KYele: Everyone get it? KYele: I mean, aside from the temporal physics? Ilia tReki: No, but I can fake it. ;) Ael tVecj: I'm dismissing myself, and whoever else wants to leave... Ael tVecj: I'm totally confused. ;) Mercura A: ::gets it, but has a physics degree, so....> CylisCohen: ::from whithin vortex:: Understood Ilia tReki: This should be... interesting..:) KYele: ::chuckles at C'eryl:: KYele: I don't.
