Orvos had ideas, and Nico was part of them. He strolled over to the 6 legged creature. He took off his wrist device that activated his drone and moved to Nico. “Oi! Mr. Nico, I have something for you.”

He held out the device for Nico to put on. The device would automatically fit the person wearing it. In this case, it shrunk to fit snuggly on one of Nico’s arms/legs. He then put the circular disk on the top of Nico’s head. “This is a drone. It flies by using your brain to activate its abilities. And…technically it is just big enough for you to likely ride on.” He gave the feline a wink before then moving towards Stark.

Kaylee stepped over to Ghubari’s side and instinctively reached out and squeezed the hand of her Captain, her friend.

Ghubari squeezed back and gave Kaylee a reassuring glance. No words were particularly needed.

Then turning her eyes towards the Guardian, she awaited the signal, a flash of determination crossing her face.

-Kaylee Baxter

Laraan kept close to the group in their collective shadows, following just a step behind.

Karina watched Laraan and shook her head. Before she left, she had murmured to the now ‘suddenly healed’ woman, “Be safe…” Something told her she and the counselor and Stark hadn’t finished whatever the three were meant to finish. Which was odd, since she never had such thoughts before with anyone else.

Ghubari had thought Laraan would have gone to help the med folks, but was just as glad to have her with them. Who knew what everyone would actually need to do.

Michail nodded in satisfaction as the assembled group “loaded for bear”. “Anything you jump through the portal with will be yours on the other side.” He handed the Captain a device that looked like a small hand grip. “This is a temporal reintegrator. Once you’ve completed your mission, you’ll need to get together with your past selves and hold it together, it will do the rest and then someone will collect it from you.” Whispering now Michail continued “To succeed you may need to sacrifice either your past or present selves, hopefully not both, but you need to be prepared for that should the need arise”.

Koraia accepted the device with all the intense respect it demanded. It would be the crux of everything working in their favour in the end. If they couldn’t fix the time issue, it was all moot, even if they saved the ship. “Understood, she said solemnly, trying to avoid thinking about temporal paradoxes and other headache inducing thoughts.

Orvos moved to Stark and him his other wrist device. “Its my personal shield that you’ve seen me use more than once. You were obviously captured. Not sure how, but perhaps this may help?” he inquired with a slight grin. “When you activate it, anyone touching you will be encompassed by the bubble shield it creates. Anyone not touching you and is near you will likely get thrown back. Any incoming blows deflected. I’m sure you get the picture?”

Laraan gave Orvos a thankful look. “Stay close please, I cannot shake the feeling that all of this is connected and the three of us have done this before. I think we need your El-Aurian senses now more than ever.” she said.

Stark grinned right back at the two of them. “I’ve always wanted a try with this Orvos, I thank you.” He looked over at Nico, “I’m not sure the world is ready for a flying Nico however” and with that he laughed from deep within his soul. “Let’s do this”.

Meridyth spoke tersely as the sounds of fighting came closer and the sounds of an escape pod taking off filtered across the distance. “One minute, be ready”.

Ghubari nodded.

When it was time and she was given the confirmation, Ghubari took a deep breath. “Let’s go, folks. Destiny awaits us.” And then she stepped through the portal.

OOC: I’ve changed the thread topic, but someone please snip for me soon, please?

Orvos nodded as he moved forward into forever.

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

Laraan slipped her tiny hand into Stark’s big paw and took the step with him.

OOC going to assume Kaylee and Bennett are here on this trip ride :-) Let the good “times” roll.

The feeling they experienced as they stepped over the threshold would have ripped their sanity clean away if it had lasted but a moment in “time”. The feeling was one of having ones very essence spread to all point of time and space simultaneously and then snapped back to a place displaced from where you first began. As their senses adjusted to “reality” again they realised that they were in the Arboretum, off in the distance slightly out of sight a group of people were gathered around a now familiar rock.

It was 47 minutes until destruction. The Past Captain was on the bridge and the enemy ship was between them and the planet, Past Orvos was in engineering and Past Pierce was at large hatching plans to stop them all including sabotaging the energy conduits. Eventually the fateful shot would be fired that would travel the energy conduits to the reactor core at precisely the moment the Athena would give her life to save them from imminent destruction.

Snapping out of the momentary reverie they were all experiencing after a mind bending ride Stark took a good look around. Somewhere on board there was a bowler hatted nutter who was looking for some new tattoo’s that Stark was going to quite happily provide old school style. It dawned on him that if he could find himself on board then two Stark’s would definitely be better than one.

OOC With the Cap potentially a little LOA these are your orders… find yourself if you wish (haha) , Save the ship, stop Pierce, stay alive. Go forth people :-)

As everything settled back Nico bleeked and looked around, he had known that things might be different Nightskin had told him that. Not how different. He could see Shadow Brother, and not see a Shadow Brother that was elsewhere. Then his eyes went wide, there was another Treecat on board, he could feel it in the collective mind glow. It did not matter that it was also Nico, anything one knew the other knew now. There were two of all of these people in the arboretum, well not of Mikhail he was not looking at them, but knew they were here. Or the not a man that vanished again. Nico was ready to find Crazy eyes Stupid hat, he had a Pew Pew and a flying thing, not that he knew how to use either but that couldn’t be hard to do after all, they let those really dumb just from school officers have them.

Nico The Tree Cat

Ghubari worked through the timeline of events as she remembered it, thankful it was all still fresh. “Orvos, I need you and Ensign Bennett to keep this ship from being destroyed. The rest of us will work on stopping Pierce.” She turned to the others and twisted the phaser in one hand while the other held the device Michail gave her. “We all interacted with him, so we all have the opportunity to stop him. Arm up. Do what you have to,” she said without a trace of uncertainty. “Stark, I encountered him on the turbolift and then we did on the bridge. You need to stop him from taking you off the ship. Kaylee, you saw him here in the arboretum. My feeling is that the bridge is where the action will culminate, but I’m open to ideas. Whatever we decide we need to be quick about it.” She included Michail in her glance as well.

Bennett turned to his Chief Engineer and nodded. He knew what had to be done.

Then she crouched down to Nico and gave the treecat a pat, seemingly amused at her new tech. “Go find Pierce, both of you. If you find him, let me know and we’ll make sure he doesn’t damage our home, okay?”

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

Nico nodded and leaned into the pat, save the flying city, find crazy eyes stupid hat. Sounded easy enough. Nico reached into his back pack and attached his gear belt with tricorder and phaser(childrens toy’s) and then his homemade pips claiming what evr rank seven solid tin foil pips equated to.

Laraan wasn’t happy about them being separated from Orvos, but she accepted it. She would stay with Stark in any case, if he was going after Pierce, so would she. His levity showed her how pent up he really was inside. If it came to the point where the portal opened again to swallow Stark, it would be the Stark of this time. However she still didn’t know where he had gone and she knew temporal paradoxons were a bad thing. “Where exactly did you go when you were pulled through the portal last time?” she asked him.

Jayden turned to follow Orvos to Engineering.

“So, do we have a plan?” he asked once they were out of earshot of the rest of the group.

-Jay

Stark cast his mind back, “He pulled me through into the Captain’s ready room and then straight through the floor and down to the nearest escape pod, weirdest feeling ever phasing through solid matter like that. One things for sure, if we’re going to take him we’ve got to get that servo off him, even if we can’t use it we should make sure that he can’t”

To Nico things were fairly simple. “I bit off hands?”
