T'Panne: I'll respect your privacy. *She gives a nod of agreement, focusing on other things rather than speculating on things she lacks the knowledge to analyze.*
T'Lera: Anxious, just a bit. *She relaxes a little when Kara speaks to her* I'm sure it will be fine, its just we're so close now.

Rax: I am fine with joining you. Should we bring anyone else? *He is curious about the Marshal, but there's little they can find out before getting to see more*
***
Rin: Yes, there was an enclave that formed in the ruins of Ossus, I don't know too much but I heard they found shelter there during the Empire's reign. The issue is what made it so safe, without a proper set of coordinates its dangerous to reach but with the force we might be able to get a path.
Reashe: Hey, it will probably be fine, I mean the ship can fit wookies and other big species. *She smiles to Kenzie*
***
Nexa: What's going on with my Mom? And what else is eating at you? *She starts to rub Val's back, looking to her with a soft smile*
***
Reina: Maybe they would meet them, this Hur'q reappearance was naturally but maybe the circumstances for their appearance won't happen there. As for the Jem'hadar, I think they're a species the Founders uplifted right? Or well sort of like the Vorta in that they engineered them from an existing species. I've learned a bit about their biology in case I need to operate on one.

Ami: *shakes her head* If they were uplifted, there would be females or some kind of ability to reproduce on their own. There is none of that. They are an artificially created species.

Val: I’m just trying to figure out how to be a better teacher, on top of dealing with cass…*she seems apprehensive about something, but continues on about cass instead* she like my own personal demon, I know if she senses even the smallest amount of weakness she’ll use it to kill me…. What ever you do don’t trust her when she’s in control please for both of our sakes.

Freeman: *he follows Jorin* we have a few old Republic shuttles here if you want one. or we can find whatever you want before we leave

Erin: This Dominion is.... most frightening.... though you mentioning the ketracel and the Jem'hadar thing to me... Do perhaps the Hur'q also lack an enzyme that it would give?... and i would also like to add, they can still be uplifted and have had the ability to reproduce taken away from them. If these founders are playing god, cruel ones at that, eliminating their perfect Soldier's natural reproductive means in favor of cloning them would be effective to keep them under control. What is a soldier that is gonna show mercy if they think of their family back home and see a common point of view with an enemy in front of them. it helps cut any bonds that could show any weakness.. Thinking like that is.... truly disgusting to me, I will admit. but if i were to think like a monster playing god.... it fits too well.

Krystal: I don't know. Maybe? We just don't know anything about where the Jem'Hadar come from.
*thinks*
There was one Hur'q that pretty much got dunked in Ketracel, and... was no longer hostile. Currently on DS9.

T'Panne: That is a fair decision. *She nods* As for the cause, it was an anti-time singularity, Picard also encountered it though his condition while similar to mine was resolved when he destroyed the singularity itself.
T'Lera: Ready. *T'Panne nods to Bri as well*
***
Rax: It might be a good idea. *He follows alongside Jorin*
***
Rin: I don't believe I was there for that, it doesn't sound familiar but I think you mentioned something about the merc games before. *she finds a good spot and gets ready to meditate, planning to find a good path through the dangers near Ossus*
***
Reina: Its as Erin said, I think that is pretty likely. I wonder how progress is going in the Gamma quadrant... if they've made any progress at all in the war against the Hur'q.
***
Nexa: It feels like something is still bothering you... and you did an alright job as a teacher right? *She tries to reassure her, rubbing her back* As for Cass... I promise I won't let her trick me, though she hasn't attempted any yet.
Jorin: a shuttle works for now. *she says loading up and taking off heading down to coruscant.* I’m not sure what to expect down there, never been to coruscant.

Kenzie: *jumps in and finds a spot to sit*

Val: I’m a terrible teacher, I do t know if she’s picking up anything or just learnt it herself…. As for cass it’s only a matter of time.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: Sn'ket, you have the bridge *she says, getting up and heading towards the turbo lift* I'm having some engineers come with us to set up a mobile transporter. They'll meet us down there and then T'Lera can do the final calculations.

Seku: coulda sworn you were with us when we did the Merc games. It was after we saved Eli. Anyways ready to jump when you're ready with a path, Rin.

Erin: Hopefully some progress can be made soon enough.
(I definitely will run the next mission after I return from boot camp and such.)
Erin: *she sighs* dragged out of one war and thrown into another. I'm ready to serve when they'll let me and my crew.... Perhaps we should change the subject a bit. Captain Mizuno, tell me how you ended up here.

Ami: We certainly live in "interesting times".
I was at Caleb IV. The Iona held off the Klingons to allow the Yorktown and the rest of the task force to escape the ambush. Technically... I'm dead. Had some help from a guy named Daniels though. After a while I took command of the Takao, which was recovered from Yard 39 and underwent a refit.

Rin: Hmmm... *she quiets herself and takes a moment to breathe as she let's the force flow through her. It takes a few minutes, but soon enough she speaks again* Input these coordinates, and chart a flight path with these directions. *she gives a bit independent description of various twists and turns that need to be made in the nebula surrounding ossus*

Rax: I don't know if much has changed politically, but it's like a nicer nar shadaa. *he puts his helmet on and follows*

Nexa: Maybe we'll find a way to solve things with you and Cass... one way or another. *she says with a sigh worried it will result in a violent end for Cass, or somehow be bad* For the teachings... I wasn't there for the lesson, but Mom didn't seem that bothered by it. I think she likes learning from you.

Val: I just hope she picks up what I’m trying to teach her…. It’s difficult trying to tell someone else how to do something that I had to figure out on my own cuz what works for me might not work for her…. As for cass we’ll have to see but I’m not really expecting a peaceful resolution.
???: she is your spawn and your responsibility. *a disembodied voice rings out*
Val: can you stop appearing out of nowhere!
*from the shadows steps out a tall man with long unkept black hair and a striking resemblance to Val.*
Alucard: we will have to work on your senses then with your age and abilities I should be easily detectible… I wasn’t even trying to hide myself. *he looks over to nexa giving her an exaggerated bow* I don’t believe we have met I am Vladislav dracul II or simply alucard these days.

(The funny thing is, temporal stuff pops up occassionally in warhammer too, though I don't think any quite like the anti-time singularity)
T'Lera: The singularity my daughter mentioned is a first, but even I myself got flung forward in time by the side effects of a malfunctioning super weapon. *she prepares the calculations from being, after going over them she's certain they're ready*
***
*Rax leans back in a seat, looking out the window as they leave. He's curious to see Coruscant again, aside from Tatooine it's one of the places he's been most curious about in the current era*

Rin: I believe the Enclave was in the main temple on the planet, near the giant valley. I've never been myself, so this will be fun.
Reashe: Ready to see more of the galaxy? *she smiles to Kenzie*
***
Reina: Yeah, romulans have a hectic history with most of the other nations... atleast the Romulan republic is trying to be better.
***
Nexa: Nexa Loumir. *she nods to him, uncertain about the stranger who's arrived as she feels strange around him, but Val seems to recognize him* So what are you here for Mr. Alucard?
(Most warhammer 40k temporal stuff usually involves the warp)
Kara: here we go…
Lythe: I see well let’s hope this doesn’t blow up in our faces then.
******
*the shuttle re-enters and breaks thru the clouds to reveal a vast city covering the entire planet. To any that have seen it before not much has changed regardless of how many years or millennia have passed other then a few odd buildings and the of a vacant Jedi temple from the galactic civil war*
Jorin: so that’s what the temple looks like…. I guess it’s just empty now with the empire gone and so few Jedi left none have returned to claim it. Aside from that coruscant is much grander then I thought.
*she flies the shuttle down to a near by space port*
******
Kenzie: yeah, I’m eager to see how different it is from mine
******
Alucard: I’ve taken valendria under my wing
Val: this is news to me…
Alucard: there is much you must yet learn tho I understand my presence may cause issues.
Val: *sighs* you don’t say?….

Ami: Well... I fought Klingons there in 2270. Just before the Fleet started a massive refit program, and they changed uniforms.
Krystal: *gags* Those uniforms were the worst! They were dull pastel earth tone pajamas!

Freeman: maybe seku can claim it. *He jokes*

Erin: Every moment I had to wear those uniforms was pure agony. I legitimately considered taking a year or so worth of saved vacations to avoid wearing them.... Also come to think of it... *She looks at Krystal* Your ship showed up while we were fighting at Caleb IV. That's how I'm here before you sent me off to fight. That seems like fate.

jorin: technically i could claim it in the name of mandalore being both mandalorian and jedi *she ponders for a moment* hmmm an entire sect of mandalorian jedi that would be something. *the shuttle lands on a near by landing pad.* ive only heard rumors of the under city. when we're done with this marshal business one of you can show me around? *she exits the ship waiting for the others*

val: i can swallow my pride on the teaching aspect... the only issue is hes a counterpart of my father. from what universe i have no idea but the last time i saw him he was brutally murdered in front of me when i was just a child......
alucard: i am from this universes mirror.... *he looks at val thru tho its hard to tell his expression underneath his wide brimmed hat and orange tinted spectacles* i am aware, i have seen your memories and i have been pondering. ive lived a very long time maybe not as long as you bu-
val: about forty seven thousand years give or take...
alucard: well then, any who. as i was saying, ive been alone for so long, ive no friends, ive never taken a lover or sired a child tho i find the aspect of family rather appealing.
val: *looks up with a pained expression* what are you saying....
alucard: i know i am not the vladislav you knew but you and i are still blood in a universal sense. i may never sire a child but perhaps i can be a father to one who lost theirs...

*With the calculations put in and the chronitons ready, T'Panne disappears in a rainbow transporter beam, then reappears at the coordinates a few feet away on another pad. She seems the same as before, for the most part atleast appearance wise, but Lythe can feel her mind is "complete" again.*
T'Panne: This is strange feeling... but I believe it has worked. I no longer feel myself split, or my consciousness across time. Thank you for your assistance.
T'Lera: I'm so happy! *She hugs T'Panne tight* Maybe now we can make up for lost time.
T'Panne: I would enjoy that. *She hugs T'Lera in turn*

Present T'Panne: *similar to her in the past she reappears without issue* It has worked captain, I no longer feel my consciousness split. It is welcome news.

Rax: Sightseeing would be nice, they have excellent streetfood.

Reina: Probably Seventeen. I imagine she has sovereignty over the prisoner unless the republic wanted them moved.

*val stares forward for awhile, after a few minuets she starts to shift growing larger with blonde hair.*
cass: *yawns* well that was a nice nap.... *she sighs* what happened this time....
alucard: i offered to adopt her....
cass: *lets out a hearty laugh* you serious?.... arent you a bit young to be taking on kids? *she says with a sly grin*
alucard: ah cass, you two are so old yet have the maturity of a child.
cass: i know she likes to lord her age over everyone but she was asleep for most of it. locked in a mental battle with me for thirty thousand years. i guess mentally yes you are older then her but not physically.
alucard: so it would seem, you are yet a part of her so my offer extends to you as well.
cass: no.... *her demeanor changes like a drop of a hat, her anger practically radiating off of her* you... nexa.... janri..... and that b*tch kara.... you all had to come along and make her happy.....
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: So what are you gonna do now? She can't exactly come with us... And you can't exactly stay here... *She inspects to see if T'Panne has the same scar she saw on the present day one.*
*******
Nick: *he looks her over "is there any... Physical changes, or are you all good?

T'Panne: *she still lacks the scar, perhaps the fight she gained it in hasn't happened or has been prevented* Simply beam down the rest of my crew to the city and I can make the necessary arrangements and reports to Starfleet for us to be reassigned. It may take some time, but the Vulcan people would not turn away a short stay until we can be moved elsewhere.
T'Lera: I guess we'll see you... "soon" then?
T'Panne: Until then, Live long and prosper. Though it will be much shorter for you than for I.
T'Lera: Peace and long life.

I've briefed them a bit on their current situation, where they are here, and that I represent the Romulan Republic, but there's still plenty more to do.

Rin: I don't believe I was there for that, it doesn't sound familiar but I think you mentioned something about the merc games before. *she finds a good spot and gets ready to meditate, planning to find a good path through the dangers near Ossus*
***
Reina: Its as Erin said, I think that is pretty likely. I wonder how progress is going in the Gamma quadrant... if they've made any progress at all in the war against the Hur'q.
***
Nexa: It feels like something is still bothering you... and you did an alright job as a teacher right? *She tries to reassure her, rubbing her back* As for Cass... I promise I won't let her trick me, though she hasn't attempted any yet.
Lythe: ready.
*********
Jorin: a shuttle works for now. *she says loading up and taking off heading down to coruscant.* I’m not sure what to expect down there, never been to coruscant.
**********
Kenzie: *jumps in and finds a spot to sit*
******
Val: I’m a terrible teacher, I do t know if she’s picking up anything or just learnt it herself…. As for cass it’s only a matter of time.
*********
Seku: coulda sworn you were with us when we did the Merc games. It was after we saved Eli. Anyways ready to jump when you're ready with a path, Rin.
*********
Freeman: you'll find a way to enjoy it. Trust me. *He puts his helmet on and follows Jorin*
*********
Erin: Hopefully some progress can be made soon enough.
(I definitely will run the next mission after I return from boot camp and such.)
Erin: *she sighs* dragged out of one war and thrown into another. I'm ready to serve when they'll let me and my crew.... Perhaps we should change the subject a bit. Captain Mizuno, tell me how you ended up here.
I was at Caleb IV. The Iona held off the Klingons to allow the Yorktown and the rest of the task force to escape the ambush. Technically... I'm dead. Had some help from a guy named Daniels though. After a while I took command of the Takao, which was recovered from Yard 39 and underwent a refit.

Rin: Hmmm... *she quiets herself and takes a moment to breathe as she let's the force flow through her. It takes a few minutes, but soon enough she speaks again* Input these coordinates, and chart a flight path with these directions. *she gives a bit independent description of various twists and turns that need to be made in the nebula surrounding ossus*
***
Rax: I don't know if much has changed politically, but it's like a nicer nar shadaa. *he puts his helmet on and follows*
***
Reina: There's more than a few "out of time" people around here. *she chuckles*
***
Nexa: Maybe we'll find a way to solve things with you and Cass... one way or another. *she says with a sigh worried it will result in a violent end for Cass, or somehow be bad* For the teachings... I wasn't there for the lesson, but Mom didn't seem that bothered by it. I think she likes learning from you.
Lythe: are these temporal occurrences commonplace here?
Kara: somewhat I suppose.
Lythe: hmm.
******
Jorin: *puts her hood up and takes off when everyone is ready heading down to coruscant*
******
Kenzie: *fiddles with her rifle*
******
Val: I just hope she picks up what I’m trying to teach her…. It’s difficult trying to tell someone else how to do something that I had to figure out on my own cuz what works for me might not work for her…. As for cass we’ll have to see but I’m not really expecting a peaceful resolution.
???: she is your spawn and your responsibility. *a disembodied voice rings out*
Val: can you stop appearing out of nowhere!
*from the shadows steps out a tall man with long unkept black hair and a striking resemblance to Val.*
Alucard: we will have to work on your senses then with your age and abilities I should be easily detectible… I wasn’t even trying to hide myself. *he looks over to nexa giving her an exaggerated bow* I don’t believe we have met I am Vladislav dracul II or simply alucard these days.
*******
Seku: *she puts in the coordinates and spools the hyperdrive, setting off into hyperspace*
*******
Freeman: he sits down and waits
********
Erin: I suppose back home technically I'm dead as well. Same guy is responsible. And here I don't even know if I exist. But Caleb IV... There were multiple battles fought there back home. Most with Romulans though.
T'Lera: The singularity my daughter mentioned is a first, but even I myself got flung forward in time by the side effects of a malfunctioning super weapon. *she prepares the calculations from being, after going over them she's certain they're ready*
***
*Rax leans back in a seat, looking out the window as they leave. He's curious to see Coruscant again, aside from Tatooine it's one of the places he's been most curious about in the current era*
***
Rin: I believe the Enclave was in the main temple on the planet, near the giant valley. I've never been myself, so this will be fun.
Reashe: Ready to see more of the galaxy? *she smiles to Kenzie*
***
Reina: Yeah, romulans have a hectic history with most of the other nations... atleast the Romulan republic is trying to be better.
***
Nexa: Nexa Loumir. *she nods to him, uncertain about the stranger who's arrived as she feels strange around him, but Val seems to recognize him* So what are you here for Mr. Alucard?
Kara: here we go…
Lythe: I see well let’s hope this doesn’t blow up in our faces then.
******
*the shuttle re-enters and breaks thru the clouds to reveal a vast city covering the entire planet. To any that have seen it before not much has changed regardless of how many years or millennia have passed other then a few odd buildings and the of a vacant Jedi temple from the galactic civil war*
Jorin: so that’s what the temple looks like…. I guess it’s just empty now with the empire gone and so few Jedi left none have returned to claim it. Aside from that coruscant is much grander then I thought.
*she flies the shuttle down to a near by space port*
******
Kenzie: yeah, I’m eager to see how different it is from mine
******
Alucard: I’ve taken valendria under my wing
Val: this is news to me…
Alucard: there is much you must yet learn tho I understand my presence may cause issues.
Val: *sighs* you don’t say?….
Krystal: *gags* Those uniforms were the worst! They were dull pastel earth tone pajamas!

Seku: maybe we'll get an ace in the hole and find Eli there. Buckle in, it's gonna be a long ride.
*The U-wing group fades out to travel*
*******
Freeman: maybe seku can claim it. *He jokes*
*****
Erin: Every moment I had to wear those uniforms was pure agony. I legitimately considered taking a year or so worth of saved vacations to avoid wearing them.... Also come to think of it... *She looks at Krystal* Your ship showed up while we were fighting at Caleb IV. That's how I'm here before you sent me off to fight. That seems like fate.
***
Rax: I'm sure that they'll return for it one day. As for being grand... wait till you see the lower sections if you ever do.
***
Reina: *she smiles at that*
***
Nexa: A teacher with a teacher? *she smiles and kisses Val's cheek* That doesn't seem so bad since you're so anxious about your own abilities.

lythe: fascinating *she watches with interest*
******
jorin: technically i could claim it in the name of mandalore being both mandalorian and jedi *she ponders for a moment* hmmm an entire sect of mandalorian jedi that would be something. *the shuttle lands on a near by landing pad.* ive only heard rumors of the under city. when we're done with this marshal business one of you can show me around? *she exits the ship waiting for the others*
******
val: i can swallow my pride on the teaching aspect... the only issue is hes a counterpart of my father. from what universe i have no idea but the last time i saw him he was brutally murdered in front of me when i was just a child......
alucard: i am from this universes mirror.... *he looks at val thru tho its hard to tell his expression underneath his wide brimmed hat and orange tinted spectacles* i am aware, i have seen your memories and i have been pondering. ive lived a very long time maybe not as long as you bu-
val: about forty seven thousand years give or take...
alucard: well then, any who. as i was saying, ive been alone for so long, ive no friends, ive never taken a lover or sired a child tho i find the aspect of family rather appealing.
val: *looks up with a pained expression* what are you saying....
alucard: i know i am not the vladislav you knew but you and i are still blood in a universal sense. i may never sire a child but perhaps i can be a father to one who lost theirs...
val: *stares forward blankly* i... i dont know....
*******
Nick: *he watches and readies to activate at the console*
********
Freeman: Alright I'll show you around if I can
*******
Erin: So to change the subject a bit, who would have to deal with my prisoner? May I talk to them?
T'Panne: This is strange feeling... but I believe it has worked. I no longer feel myself split, or my consciousness across time. Thank you for your assistance.
T'Lera: I'm so happy! *She hugs T'Panne tight* Maybe now we can make up for lost time.
T'Panne: I would enjoy that. *She hugs T'Lera in turn*
***
Present T'Panne: *similar to her in the past she reappears without issue* It has worked captain, I no longer feel my consciousness split. It is welcome news.
***
Rax: Sightseeing would be nice, they have excellent streetfood.
***
Reina: Probably Seventeen. I imagine she has sovereignty over the prisoner unless the republic wanted them moved.
***
Nexa: That's good right? *She looks up to Val with a hopeful expression, but also concern if this is too much for her knowing she has a lot of trauma surrounding her original father*

lythe: indeed. i feel her mind is whole again.
kara: i guess its back to our time then.
******
jorin: sounds good. *she leads the way to the marshal's office taking a sky car taxi, along the way she looks around like a curious child taking in the sights and sounds, ears flicking in every direction as she leans on the side with an uncharacteristic smile on her face.* oh that must be the senate building. its a lot bigger then the holo vids.
******
*val stares forward for awhile, after a few minuets she starts to shift growing larger with blonde hair.*
cass: *yawns* well that was a nice nap.... *she sighs* what happened this time....
alucard: i offered to adopt her....
cass: *lets out a hearty laugh* you serious?.... arent you a bit young to be taking on kids? *she says with a sly grin*
alucard: ah cass, you two are so old yet have the maturity of a child.
cass: i know she likes to lord her age over everyone but she was asleep for most of it. locked in a mental battle with me for thirty thousand years. i guess mentally yes you are older then her but not physically.
alucard: so it would seem, you are yet a part of her so my offer extends to you as well.
cass: no.... *her demeanor changes like a drop of a hat, her anger practically radiating off of her* you... nexa.... janri..... and that b*tch kara.... you all had to come along and make her happy.....
*******
Nick: *he looks her over "is there any... Physical changes, or are you all good?
*******
Freeman: that it is. It's beautiful isn't it. You seem positively happy Jorin. I hope we can see you happy more often
*******
Erin: can you get her if she's around?
T'Lera: I guess we'll see you... "soon" then?
T'Panne: Until then, Live long and prosper. Though it will be much shorter for you than for I.
T'Lera: Peace and long life.
***
Present T'Panne: None that I feel raises concern. I can logically deduce that as I have not aged suddenly I may have an extended lifespan. Memories are however appearing suddenly, over a century added onto my life within my mind. It is an odd feeling.
***
Rax: The chambers where the Senate convenes feel even bigger on the inside. *he seems amused seeing Jorin's reaction*
***
Nexa: Yes, we've done a good job of that, despite everything we've encountered and a few occasions of you causing trouble. You could be happy to you know, if you could let go of all that anger. *She looks at Cass, surprised she took control but seeming relaxed though ready for any surprise danger*

******
jorin: *meows as she clears her throat sitting back down in her seat.* thats enough of that.... *despite her returned stoicism the excited waving of her tail betrays her hidden joy. the taxi touches down at the marshal offices with jorin stepping out looking around, the excitement still evident in her swaying tail* its all so much larger on the ground....
******
cass: *she sits still for a moment looking over at nexa, pure rage on her face as her hand shoots out as fast as lightning, grabbing nexa by the throat and lifting her up as stands with a tight grip, alucard drawing his pistols pointing them at her.* the only thing that would make me happy is seeing her suffer..... but you... you were the start of it..... i could do it so easily, one flick of my thumb or clenching my hand and your head pops like a balloon. *her eye twitches as her nose starts to bleed*
alucard: i knew you would be a problem but to hide such darkness..... let her go....
*******
Nick: results of a life well lived. *He smiles* glad we could help
*******
Freeman: maybe we'll go see the mountain later.... *He gets out, following Jorin*
*******
Erin: *she whispers to Reina* is she alright? She looks a bit under the weather... *She clears her throat and looks to seventeen, speaking up* Hello, I am captain Erin Cunningham, Captain of the John Paul Jones. Have you done anything with my prisoner yet?
***
Present T'Panne: *She nods to Nick* We should prepare for their return now, it is logical with time travel involved they will not be too long.
***
Rax: Still quite the view here. *He gets out and looks out over the cityscape for a moment before continuing with them*
***
Reina: *She whispers* Its a bit of a private matter, but most of her body had to be reconstructed after she was freed from the borg.
Seventeen: Hello Captain, I hope you are settling in alright. I've briefed them a bit on their current situation, where they are here, and that I represent the Romulan Republic, but there's still plenty more to do. Technically speaking he's from the Romulan Empire, so reintegration to the Republic would likely be... difficult.
***
Nexa: Could you? And what would that accomplish? I think Val would be more likely to end you both than you to get the control you want, and you're clearly afraid of dying or else you wouldn't have clawed out your existence even as she becomes happier. *The lights in the corridor become dim as Nexa stares at her*
