Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

Would you like me to join you Captain.

*Captain Meridian steps onto the Bridge of the Tiberon and makes a ship and station wide call for all crew to report to the Tiberon. He sits down waiting for his crew.*

Tom walks on the bridge and stands at attention.

"Lieutenant Karelia, Helm. Ready to begin mission, Captain."

"Earth? Aye, sir..."

"Approximately two hours, sir."

--Two hours later--

"Captain, we are approaching the anomaly."

Captain,. . .Maybe we should let them scan us.

"Greetings, I am Admiral Garrison. I assume you are all weary from your ordeal, so I suggest you take a load off. I recommend the Double Helix bar, its quite nice. Meet me back here in one hour."

Tom motions Meridian to stay with him after most of the Tiberon crew had left.

"I can understand your surprise at what has happened to you. Feel free to ask me about anything you don't understand." Tom says, motioning to a Romulan in the corner. "In the meanwhile, Lieutenant Commander Tanik will take care of any repairs you require."

"Recalibrate the diflecter to emit a Tachyen beam. Try to break us loose. "
=/\=Engineering, I need more power to the engins!=/\=

(Don't worry about it.)

"Sir, I've got the Envidia system on navigational sensors, but DS12 isn't there. I suggest we investigate."

"Aye, sir."

* Walks out of the ready room and on to the bridge. Meridian taps his comm badge twice for a ship wide announcment.*

=/\=Crew of the USS Tiberon, this is your Captain. Today I do something I had hoped never to do. We now leave our home. We also leave knowing the loss of lives that had once ran this mighty station are now gone. I would like to have a moment of silence for the crew of this DS12.... Thank you.=/\=
* An array of torpedoes lit up the space around EnvidiaII*
" Lt., head fo the nearest relay station so we can contact Starfleet... or someone."

"So I gues we are with you guys untill we get home."

* walks over to his station, watches the console*

"Thats the problem, we have no idea, and it looks like they don't intend on joining either side. Without their help, Earth will fall."

I am resetting the mission. There are not enough crew to continue. The Tiberon is back at DS12 and none of this mission ever happened.

"Stop us when we get into sensor range. *Sighs loudly* "We got pulled from the staton for some joke science mission. I was about to stomp my brother at lazer tagg too, cocky bratt, always wins. Tom, you have an older brother. Do you strive to beat him in everything?"

(Who is science officer?)

OFF: I am going to be an active OP's Chief now, My brother, who was this character, has allowed me to take over now

*Stands at ops*

Lt. Arturis Bashir Chief of Tac. and Sec. reporting sir, ready when you are.

"Well now we know that the Federation hasn't forgotton us-for the most part."

*A large sleek federation style ship came up to the tiberion and stoped within sensor and weapons range. Behind the lone ship was a fleet of warships.*

}/\{USS Baxter to USS Tiberon, your ship was reported missing almost 400 years ago. If your Directerite ship trying to trick us we will destroy you. Lower you sheilds and shut down your weapons. Stand by for scan.}/\{

=/\= We are who we say we are. We were on a servey mission when we were  brought here by a strange anomilie.We need help getting home.=/\=

*console beeps* captain, they're in persuit, I am
getting strange readings coming from their
ship...*changes display on console* they're scanning
us...they're firing! *their torpedo hit the ship* they've
found a way to fire through our shields!

*looks at console* none reported.
*console beeps*captain, the vortex has collapsed. Weapons currently offline, and
*interupts*--COMPUTER: warning, ship of unknown design approaching.

(Edited by Arturis Bashir at 4:52 pm on April 9, 2004)

"Well, the Federation is currently in a war with a group known as the Directorate. About 400 years ago, after the Dominion War, the Federation had a puppet government installed on Cardassia and the Breen homeworld until they could sustain it themselves. The Federation promised to release control once they were fairly established. But the Federation Council, at the time much more corrupt that was believed, decided to annex the worlds instead. The Tholians and Dominion were furious. They could not accept the fact that the Federation had two of the most powerful Alpha Quadrant races under their boot, so to speak. They banded together, forming the Directorate. The Cardassians and Breen quickly revolted and joined the Directorate. The Klingons were ready to join, but when they had learned that the Romulans had secretly joined without the Klingons knowledge, the Klingon Empire quickly returned to the Federation. The Federation kept its promiseto return Deep Space Nine, fearing that keeping it would incite the now-powerful Bajorans to join the Directorate. The Bajorans stayed neutral, as they still are to this day. The Federation and Klingons have been fighting a losing battle against the Directorate, now composed of the Jem'Hadar, the Founders, the Romulans, the Cardassians, the Breen, and the Tholians. Both grous have been competing for the trust of the Bajorans, because, as the most powerful single race in the Alpha Quadrant, the Bajorans will ensure the success of whichever side they choose."

--Several hours later--

"Captain, we are approaching the Sol system. There are multiple Federation patrols requesting our identification."

I'm curious, you said that the Federation wasn't at her best right now. Why is that?

*The Tiberon comes to a smooth stop and begins scanning the anomilie before it.*
BEEP  BEEP
Science Officer-"Sir, the anomilie is be comeing unstable, it's giving off a massive amount of tempral readings..... Sir! The anomilie is becoming a vortex, IT'S SUCKING US IN!!

"TOM! FULL REVERSE!"

(OFF: We need to do someting,  this is dying??)

*Sevrel hours later the Tiberon came within sensor range of the relay station.*
Tom-"Sir, the station dosn't show any federation technolgy. It's one of those ships, they have spotted us!"
Meridian-"Evasive, gets us out of here!"
Tom-"Heading?"
Meridian-"Earth, Star Base 001. Maximum warp."

Garrison is having trouble getting online. Don't wprry we'll get it back up soon.

}/\{ Of course. You may proceed to Docking Port 16. Welcome to StarBase 001.}/\{

"Commander, at this point, and Federation starships, even ones 400 years old, would be welcome. The Federation isn't in a good condition right now. Of course Captain, we can have a meeting now if you'd like."

"Temprel displacement."

" That stange ship had our data, if they do then our federation will. We just have to find them. If we do find this time's federation they will help us get home."

Admiral, with all do respect, should we interact with your time to such an extent. What if we interrupt the time line.

*Ekaterina looks around the bridge sadly, then hangs her head in greif.*

"Never in my worst nightmares... What do we do now...?"

So . . . .. . Whats next??

*The Tiberon docks with the station and it's senor staff head to Garrision's office where they meet his Secretary.*
Sertetary-" Adm. Garrison is in a meeting right now so you will have to wait."

"That's a class I've never seen before. Sir, they identify themselves as the U.S.S. Copenhagen."

After looking at their weapons i'm glad that they believed us.

Is it possible that history has now changed by us lnowing that it's going to happen?

"What's our time untill we reach the anomlie?"

*As the Tiberon glided twords the planet the bridge crew made a sickening discovery.Deep Space 12 lay in ruin apon the planet's surface. No life signs, no power readings. Nothing. The hail coming from the planet was a automated message. It read........

-----
Let this be a tribute to those who lost their live in the 2nd battle for Deep Space Twelve. Let their sacrifice be known to all. Their deaths will be avenged....
-----
"Make a ship wide announcement telling the crew what has happened. Prepair a short memorial service. I'll be in my ready room."

(OFF: Mr. Bashir, please stop making crap up. you are screwing up my story line.)

"Yes, all senor staff will acompany me."
(Bridge crew too)

OFF: just like that... is this mission ended, ?? am i in the past/furute too, ... wtf ?

(Edited by Novalien at 1:57 pm on Sep. 13, 2004)

"Return fire! Fire at will! Damage report"

i agree with the Commander, that other ship had a cloak,
if they scan us they will know that we're not carrying a
cloaking device.

WOW, now i'm really looking foreward to the future.

"Sir, what happens if we aren't recognized? This could go two ways; we could either get back to our own time, or this could very well be the end of the Tiberon."

"I'm offering the Tiberon's assistance in your struggle, but I also would like some help in finding away home."

Ensign Jones reporting for Tactical officer, Sirs.

OFF<sorry,sir.>

"Sure."
*they all enter the office.*
"Well, I was wondering whats happened in the last 400 years?"

Lt. Taevin Junior Grade Sec. Officer reporting, ready for mission sir.

Captain, I'd like to join you?

"Excelent. Lt.Karelia, please take us to( Walks over and taps the consoel) this anomlie. We get to do a fun and exciting science mission."

* After Meridian entered his ready room away from others he did something he had not done fo a long time, cry.*

"Their... all gone. Sirius, Koloblicin, Will. Some one will pay."

*After gathering himself together, he began writing his memorial speach.*

(OFF: Sorry for the rude message but I had things all worked out. Small details worked in and you just threw some things off. But Don't worry.)

lucky for us they are not persuing. Captain i have found
a station on Envidia II. they are hailing us, they have a
starfleet carrier wave.

"Aye, Captain."

Tom sits at the helm.

"Plotting course, bearing 174, mark 37. Engaging at Warp 6."

"Aye sir, resuming course to Envidia II!"

}/\{ This is Admiral Thomas Garrison of the Federation Spacedock StarBase 001. Please state your business in the Sol System. }/\{

"We are a little mystified ourselves. We were investigateing an anomilie when it some how sucked us in, and we're here. We were stationed at Deep Space 12 as a part of omega division. "

"Aye, Captain. Opening channel and standing by to engage."

=/\= This is the U.S.S. Tiberon to U.S.S. Copenhagen, please respond. =/\=

:/\: This is the Starship Copenhagen. Your vessel confguration is unknown to us, please state your prefix code so we can verify your claim. :/\:

=/\= Our prefix code is 791325. =/\=

:/\: Verified. Your vessel registers as... an Akira class ship, almost 400 years old. Care to explain? :/\:

Sounds like the Bajorans have done well for themselves. Which side does the Federation think the Bajorans will choose?

"We have our best temporal physicists on that now, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. We are pretty new to this temporal manipulation stuff."

*gets to his feet, looks at tac. console*
deflector shields down to 80 percent captain.

"Wait a minute. We died? How is it even theoretically possible that we are here if we died 400 years ago? Wouldn't that cancel out our current existence? I'm sorry, I just would really like to know how we are here if we are dead..."

*The federation ship goes wavey like heat riseing off of a road then transforms into a warship.*

Silok: "Its a combination of Jem'Hadar, Romulan, and Cardassian technology!"

"Get us the #### out of here!"

Lets hope this times Federation cares as much as ours does.

"Ah. I understand."

=/\=This is Captain Nismos Meridian of the Federation starship Tiberon. To put it bluntly, we are from 400 years into the past. We were sent here by an anomilie. We went to DS12 and have found out what happened. We didn't know what to do, so we came to the only federation left. If you wouldn't mind I'd like to tell about it face to face. Could we have a meeting?"=/\=

Reroute everything we got to the engines!!

(sry for mi absence)

"Oh my god... all of them. Will... Admiral Keach... everyone. They're all gone..."

28th century, i don't think we'll recognize any ship configurations Tom. *console beeps* sir the other ship
is fleeing, i guess they know the federation preatty well.

"No, I doubt it. You see, when the original Tiberon was destroyed, before the Tiberon-A was built, you were all killed, if memory serves me correctly."

* A little disturbed by a romulan in star fleet but Meridian gave him the repair list.*
"We took some damage on the bow and Top stern. Also power drainage on multiple decks and EPS relays are not being cooperative."
* Looks to to Garrision.*
"Can we have a private meeting? I have many questions."

Torpedos away...no damage to their shields, emergancy
forcefields in place on decks 7,8,and 9. Captian, i have an idea...*the ship is hit again*. i could modify a torpedo
with my implants, create a Trans-phasic torpedo, that-
*interupted by his console* sir, a federation ship is
approaching, they're hailing us.

"You should all take some leave time. I assume you are all tired."

"With pleasure, sir.

The Tiberon jumps to warp as a torpedo flies past their previous position.

OFF: Who is playing the Federation???¿¿¿

"Your best is all that I ask. Bye the way, What happened to DS12?"

=/\=This Captain Nismos Meridian of the Federation starship Tiberon. We come in peace. We kind-of have a problem.=/\=

"On screen"
* A grusome warship appears*
"I dout they are friendly, take us to DS12, as fast as we go go."

"Aye." Tom said with a sullen tone.

"Aye Captain, bringing us out of warp."

Tom then turns to Meridian.

"I have tried, but the only thing I can really beat him at was Velocity."

(OFF: Ekaterina is the CSO.)

(Edited by Tom Karelia at 8:15 am on April 5, 2004)

"I agree, bring down shields and power down weapons. Lock out the main computer and incript it."

}/\{Tiberon, you have passed our scans and show no Directerite technology. You have a number of temprel readings comeing from your ship. You also match our records. Please forgive us about our hospitality, we had to be shure. Please proceed to Earth. We have relayed a head and you are expected.}/\{

=/\= Thank you. Meridian out.=/\=

"Set course for Earth."

*Get to his feet.*
"My God.Full Damage report! Did we sistain any casualties?"

Uhh....Yeah, I've been here the whole time, just uhh...don't mind me.

Captain, i'm reading... i don't know what i'm reading.
I think it is a tachyon signature, posibly a cloaking device.
it is coming from the copenhagen.

"It's no use!"

The Tiberon shakes so violently that within seconds, not one officer was on their feet anywhere on the ship. As the ship continues to rock, Tom tries to drag himself up to his console, but it is futile. When the ship calms, he checks the sensors.

"Sir, sensors show we are in the same place... but... sir, chronometers show we are in the 28th century, 400 years in the future!"

"Oh, yes, I assumed you would want to hear that. About 10 years after the time you came from, the Romulan Coalition launched a massive attack on the Federation colonies in the Expansion Sector. DS12 was the first to be hit. The Coalition attacked with hundreds of warships. The Tiberon-A, Ares, Ticonderoga, and Sequoia-B all put up one of the most valiant, but doomed, fights I have ever heard of. The Tiberon-A was crippled and a Coalition Warbird slammed her into Deep Space 12 with its tractor beams, and with the stations damaged systems, could not maintain position. Within 10 minutes, she had crashed... with all hands aboard."

Shields Up!

"I can't! I'm losing helm control! We're goin' in!"

"Head to the planet that DS12 was orbiting. Full sensor sweeps. Open a chanel to the federation ship."
