EMH: Excuse me, but this is a sickbay, not a meet-and-greet. Now, I will keep you informed, Captain, Miss Forrester, but I must insist you leave.
*Terry takes Dani and Wade follows outside..*
Wade: You would think after all this time they would fix his bedside manner.
Terry: Wade not the time for joking.
Wade: Right.. Look I was on my way to give my report and I heard scuffling and noise coming from the opposite end of the corridor.. I found her on the ground...
Rommel: well look who came to tell me good by. What do you want drake. Reinhart not proving to be the ally you thought she would be.
Rommel motions for firefly to lower his weapon as firefly watches drake closely.
Rommel: what is it you want drake.
Drake: Well... I thought I'd try to stop you from escaping, followed by you breaking my wrists and doing exactly that.
Not everyone in my organisation supports Reinhart. Unfortunately, my influence means exactly squat right now. Reinhart's power stretches even as far as me and my superiors.
That means I need to rely on... external assets... like you.

Rommel : is that your way of asking for my help and that of my group. Wow drake you really must either be desperate or Reinhart finally torked you off enough.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Rommel : is that your way of asking for my help and that of my group. Wow drake you really must either be desperate or Reinhart finally torked you off enough.
Drake: A little of both, actually.
There's an unmarked transport in orbit waiting to beam you up, utilising an experimental hyper-warp drive. No other ship in the quadrant will be able to catch you.
Now, please be good enough to stun me so I have an alibi.

Terry: That I called it. The Raisers would have destroyed themselves.. Now they are growing in strength as we see it. Tal Shiar, Romulans, Klingon Houses, and Section 31... Even with a good chunk of the Federation going rogue and a civil war breaking out now.. I don't see how this will help anything.. I know these things because time and each choice and its consequences are seen to me.
Plus it looks like the other Tara put in some good blows
*He blocks a blast quite easily*
I am not here for that.
If you want to try and at least save the person you want at least listen to me then.

OOC: She wouldn't lose it with Terry that easily.
*Tara A walks around him a couple of times.*
Tara A: She got one lucky punch.
Besides, if I wanted to kill her now, I would have.
I can keep tweaking things - making them perfect. I'm using this reality as a trial run. If it doesn't work, I can go back and try again.
I'd have an easier time if you'd stop getting in my way.
Reinhart dies, Raiser falls apart, millions live. That's good.
I have it easy. My reality never had a 'Shadow War'. All I have to do is find the trigger event and stop it. Billions live.
Then I can go all over your reality's timeline and keep your father from dying. I do that, and my father never winds up in your timeline and I don't have the most important person to me taken away!
And I'll make sure they're together... in both realities, like they're supposed to be. I'll make everything perfect.
Where are we?
*They look around. They're in a room on a Sao Paulo-Class Starship.*
Sam: The Black Phantom...
*Tara A looks behind her to find Sam standing there, looking compassionate.*
Tara, this isn't right.
Tara A: Not right? I'm getting my father back a good man! How is that not 'right'?!
Sam: Do you know how much damage you could do?
Tara A: Yes... but I don't have to worry about it. I can make a change then go forward to see its effect. Then I can tweak it until it gives me the desired effect.
Sam: You're treating the timeline like your own personal plaything.
Tara A: I'm a time-hopper! I have that right!
Sam: Tara, what if you succeed in getting your father back? What then? Do you think he'd approve of this? Do you think he'd want you to be misusing your power like this?
Tara A: I don't care. As long as he's back.
Sam: And what then? You bring him back - then what?
Tara A: Then I stop him and my mother ever getting divorced. I'll make sure they're happy together...
*Sam shakes her head solemnly.*
In both our realities.
*Sam looks up.*
I make sure he doesn't die in your timeline, the one from my timeline never has to travel to yours.
Sam: Tara, stop--
Tara A: You'll have him back - and you'll be happy with him, like you're supposed to be!
Sam: Tara, I didn't love him.
Tara A: You will. Why are you trying to stop me?
Sam: You don't think I want him back? He died because of me.
But, I realise that if I had him back, there'd be a price. If I knew the price, it'd be easier to accept.
The problem is, when it comes to making me love him, I know what the price is too well.
Tara A: What?
Sam: I've lived a happy life with my husband, and I've had two kids who I love immensely.
Tara A: That b**ch? You think her life's worth more than mine?
Sam: Of course not! Tara, from the moment I saw you for the first time, I loved you like you were my own daughter, but you can't ask me to trade Matt, Dani and Tara for you and James! That's not a decision I can make!
Tara A: What if I gave you back your father?
Sam: What?
Tara A: What if I made it so he never died in that hangar explosion?
*Sam freezes for a minute.*
Sam: I...
Tara A: Grandpa's alive in my timeline. It wouldn't take much to bring him back in yours too.
Sam: No, you can't.
Tara A: Why?
Sam: Because he'd never approve of you--!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap.
Tara, just because you lost your father doesn't mean you're alone. Stop this. Go home. Go to your mother.
Tara A: I really believed she was coming...
*Sam looks as Tara A begins to cry.*
When you left me on Auri Nay, I thought for sure she'd come. I waited. And I waited. A week passed, and I figured 'it's okay, Tara, they probably haven't heard the signal yet'. Then 2 weeks; the power cell in the combadge and tricorder went out. I told myself 'they're probably already coming, Tara. Mom will be here soon'.
Then 3 weeks.
Then a MONTH!
I finally figured out that she wasn't coming for me. She never did. It was always dad who came to help me.
Sam: Then come back with me. I'll never abandon you, Tara. Ever.
Tara A: No. Not without my father.
Sam: Being human is about learning to deal with lo--

Voporak: Sam, I know someone just came and went on my ship. You need to tell me who that was and why they are about to completely crew over events, as my sensors tell me. I am going to let he or she know who is the master of time, from one jumper to another. ...Okay fine, and also to keep the timeline from being messed up worse than I would do.

Okay, my daughter from another reality...
She's just hurting and trying to get her father back! She can't help it!

Terry: Damn it.. Luckily she is easy for me to track.. Apparently she had now one teach her to lock down her presence.
Besides... I know my father is alive Sam... The one that is in my head is hers.
*He follows soon enough *
Terry: You are not going to do more damage because of this. Listen to me... not only am I prescient but my genetic memory has my dead ancestors. How about you stop and listen to me. Your father is here in me not my father.
*A Temporal Incursion Alert lights up all over the Black Phantom (think Red Alert, but green), followed by a klaxon. Voporak comes to Sam over the comm*
Voporak: Sam, I know someone just came and went on my ship. You need to tell me who that was and why they are about to completely crew over events, as my sensors tell me. I am going to let he or she know who is the master of time, from one jumper to another. ...Okay fine, and also to keep the timeline from being messed up worse than I would do.
Tara A: Would you stop following me?!
I'm losing my patience with you! Leave me alone!
*She vanishes again, this time reappearing on DS61. She walks onto the promenade, looking around as people come and go.*
OOC: This is one time where I don't want there to be an easy fix. Having Terry get her to stop feels too much like a cop-out, and I've already got something in mind.
