Laraan nodded. “One thought, why don’t we split up and not only run after his past… or future actions, but also ahead of them. We know he wants to kidnap Stark, so some of us should go where we know he took him to… the escape pod… in case the ones of us following him fail for some reason.”

Kaylee nodded. “I agree. But as time is of the essence, we don’t want to waste time explaining the sudden appearance of ourselves to.... well ourselves.” She knew the idea of being confronted with her own self would be disturbing and unsettling. “We should get going.” She urged.

Koraia flipped her phaser in her hand. “I know myself and I’ve got a damned good poker face. So she’ll deal with this irregularity of the situation. But I don’t intend to wait for something to go wrong. He appeared on the bridge shortly after he was in the turbolift with Stark and I. At this point I should be heading to the turbolift. I’m going to the bridge and intend to shoot him when he shows up, and I can guarantee my counterpart will agree. I could use distractions though, but if you feel you can intervene better elsewhere, then do that. We can only assume he has the servo on him, but he may have it on the escape pod. But Nico is looking for Pierce and I can communicate with him anywhere on this ship.” She sudden;y wished Konral was here for a similar reason, but they’d make do.

“Let’s us an internal comm frequency and keep our commbadges open. Delta-Two should be unused right now. And it won’t interfere with the comms of our previous selves.”

Stark adjusted his “shield” device and then looked at the others. “I know a way into the Captain’s Ready Room if we want to come through there, otherwise let’s pop out of the turbolift and surprise ourselves. Nico has the best shot at getting the servo in my opinion, he’s small and he’s fast.” He looked at Ghubari, “Lay on, Captain, let’s do this.” He checked his PaDD. “Chances are I already know I’m here” he paused as he tried to get his head around the pronouns, “So Orvos is right, what happens from here on in may not follow what we remember and may not be to the same time schedule”.

Kaylee didn’t think she would have much chance of stopping him in the cargo bay, so she decided to join the others and head for the Bridge. Distractions she could definitely provide. She wanted to see this through until the end.

Find Crazy Eyes Stupid hat, which was his job with Shadow brother. That Nico could do, now that he was ready. He had his pew pew, his beep beep, and his shinies on. Yup, Agent Nico was on the case, Nico decided as he pulled up his face mask to hide the coloring if not the decidedly cat like shape of his face. A modern Starfleet ninja on a budget. To that end Nico reached out with his mind as he headed towards a Jefferies tube entrance. The Athena’s backroads and byways, and the best way to travel as a Ninja.

At this point in time Nico could sense Crazy Eyes Stupid Hat near a turbo lift where he had just recently left the Captain who was presently heading for the bridge.

Koraia eyed Stark. “A weird time to miss the Trafalgar-class with the hatch down into my quarters, but if you can get us into the ready room, I think that’s our best chance. Nico tells me that my other self is on the way to the bridge after Pierce left her, so he’ll be there soon as well. Lead the way, Stark,” she said with certainty, double checking the setting on her phaser (heavy-stun) and that the device Michail gave her was in her pocket still (which it was).

OOC Forgive me if I take liberties with your characters for a moment, I’m understandably keen to get to the next act :-)

Leading them swiftly away from the group surrounding the Horta in the arboretum Stark pressed a knot on a large baobab tree revealing a hatch beneath a hidden realistic looking panel of wood. From there he moved them into a vertical shaft and swept Laraan into his arms instructing the others to grab a hold of his uniform and hang on tight. Flipping out his PaDD he momentarily reflected on the fact that he was about to blow some of the myths surrounding his ability to be places in spectacular time.

It was to his credit that he was who he was, otherwise, Ghubari might have hesitated. But her and Stark hadn’t gone through all they had without developing a deep sense of trust in each other. So when he asked them to hold on, she simply did, no questions asked. They weren’t chosen siblings for nothing.

Activating the shield Orvos had loaned him he pressed a switch on his personal PaDD effectively reversing gravity in the tube. They fell ‘upwards” 13 decks at terminal velocity as he used the shield to keep their vector on track by nudging it against the sides where necessary. It was no easy task guiding so many counterweights and he’d never down it with so many, consequently he was sweating a bit as deck two approached at nearly 200 kilometres an hour. punching another button he used the gravity plating and inertial dampeners to slow their approach. With so many he couldn’t slow them enough not to hit pretty hard in a sprawled heap now standing “upside down” on the floor of deck one, just below the Ready Room.

“Throw yourself sideways as we go through” he instructed. Pressing another button a custom built hatch popped open, one the Captain would know was not a part of the original design. Their gravitic inertia threw them upwards through the hatch in the floor and then the ready Room gravity took over as the hatch popped shut behind them and they were unceremoniously dumped on the floor as “reality” righted itself.

Koraia landed somewhat hard but she managed to at least absorb some of the impact with a well planned ‘exit’.

Stark looked at the Captain with a slightly abashed smile. “Just wanted to be able to be here quickly if you ever needed me” he said in way of an apology for breaking Starfleet reg’s… yet again.

Ghubari pushed herself to her feet and gave Stark a look that said, We will definitely talk about this later.

Having just travelled in the gravity tubing with Shadow Brother, Nico was grinning as he rolled across the floor of the ready room, and came up on his feet. True hands flashing in sign language. “AGAIN!” well he seemed to have enjoyed the rush of the trip at least. Partially was an innocent mind that wholly trusted in Shadow Brother not to put him into things that would harm him? So it meant he could just enjoy the ride. Nico recalled why they were there and let his mind, and noes seek what was beyond the ready room door. Since they needed surprises on the other side of the door, and Shadow Brothers’ thing Time’s lost friend had given him worked out, Nico detached the disc, drone, whatever it actually was, it wasn’t as if Nico knew, but once he did he could feel it tickling at the back of his brain. Listening to his thoughts, so he poked it, and the disc moved. For many creatures there would have been a huge learning curve, and if not for the innocent acceptance by Nico of strange things, he too likely would have had the same. But it floated and moved when he poked it with his mind, the needle like toothy grin on Nico’s face was huge as he leapt onto the disc itself. He know was a flying sneaky thieving weasel.

Ghubari couldn’t help but laugh a bit at the comical sight her companion was creating. Clearly things were well beyond being out of hand and she doubted she could bring things back to anything that might approximate anything reasonable. She’d have to think things over later, but she would have to figure out what the limits were here.

Stark having known exactly what was coming was already on his feet. He sent a mental image to Nico of the servo in Pierce’s hand. “We need that my friend” he said to Nico in sign, “We’ll distract him and you get it from him”.

He turned to the others. Pierce entered from this room so we need to get onto the bridge pronto, by my reckoning this timeline’s Captain and Stark came out of the turbo lift only minutes after Pierce came onto the bridge from here.” He paused, “Then again our presence here may have already changed the timeline…”

“It’s hard to say for sure, but I agree the sooner we get out there, the better,” Ghubari remarked as she re-gripped her phaser. “I’ll be ready to shoot Pierce the moment we see him, but be prepared to create a distraction. I can also communicate with, well, myself, so I’ll be able to mitigate some of the shock.” She frowned slightly. “Hopefully.”

“Ready?” the captain asked the group as she moved towards the door, careful not to trigger it until they were all set.
