[Nismos Meridian]

"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?)

[Silok]

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

[Ekaterina]

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

[Nismos Meridian]

*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.=/\=

[Arturis Bashir]

*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!

[Arturis Bashir]

"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."

[Tara Lollock]

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

[Nismos Meridian]

*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!"

[Tara Lollock]

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

[Nismos Meridian]

*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."
