Commander Nugra - Oh, so much going on! (NT)

[Jonathan Snyder]

(( Bridge - USS Thunder-A ))

Sharpe: Commander Nugra!

:: Nugra snapped out of his thoughts and looked over to Paul, who had come up to him. ::

Nugra: Yes, Commander?

Sharpe: Tell me Commander, do you have memories of a past you know you never did?

Nugra: Yes. 

:: It was disconcerting sorting the real ones from the shadow ones of this reality, but Nugra knew that they were beginning to mix together. The hell of it all was that if the anomaly erased them from everybody else, his wouldn't disapear. On his first tour of duty in the Gorn fleet, Nugra had been attacked by an alien probe. ::

:: He remembered it latching on the side of his head and the pain as it drained away his memories. The doctor was able to starve it by creating a concotion that hurt worse than the memory drain. What it did though was freeze his memory engrams so it died of starvation. The side effect was that he could not forget things. Not quite an eidetic memory, but even these false memories would be stuck in place. ::

Nugra: and I doubt I can forget them. 

Sharpe: I feel for you Commander, I really do; I on the other hand have no Phantom memories of my past, all I remember is current events going back to when my wife returned to earth and back all the way to my childhood. I have no memories or even phantom ones of the past Thirty-five years and I do not know what that means for the future me in this timeframe.

:: Odds are, that meant that Sharpe had died somewhere between those thirty five years. It was not something the lizard was going to say outloud. ::

Nugra: Interesting. 

Sharpe: It is a puzzle Commander, one I hope to forget when we return back to our own time...Yes, Mr?

Aurora: MISS ::making sure to stress the femininity:: Aurora Elliston. I'm ah... I'm... oO Words! Find them! Oo

:: Nugra tilted his head slightly in puzzlement. All ensigns had seem to forget that mister was a generic catch all for both genders in starfleet. He had seen other officers use the feminine, but the Gorn was a stickler for details. ::

Aurora: Which one of you is Commander Paul Sharpe?

Nugura: That would be the one with a human name, Master Chief.

Sharpe: Well c’mon then Master Chief spit it out....

:: Nugra saw the wink and was glad to recognize the gesture. Gorns did not wink, but humans had a penchance for it. ::

Aurora: Yes sir... I I I...

Sharpe: Well?

Aurora: Yes sir... Sorry, sir. Um yes, I've been working on modifying a probe for the past couple of hours... I THINK, think mind you, that it should be able to cut through the interference around the subspace anomaly, find out more about it while we're here? I'm co-ordinating with the sciences also, and well... ::her voice became serious:: I need your sign off to do it

Sharpe: Indeed Master Chief...::Signing PADD::...There you go, have at it Master Chief. Is there anything else? 

:: There was not a chance to answer that question. Nugra heard the voice of someone on the bridge and he did not like what he had to say. ::

Drayton: Captain, the planet has started to…

Rossh: Response?

Turner: Deteriorate? But why?

Drayton: Readings are coming back from the probe. There’s a weapon on the surface. It’s huge. 

Rossh: Response?

:: There was a good chance that the weapon was the tachyon based weapon that Nugra had been nervous about. ::

Drayton: What in the heck is that?

Turner: I don't know but let's get our Away team back to the ship, and anyone else we can beam aboard. Nugra, get Mc Ghee off the civilian freighter, and down to Engineering to start the QSSD. The time lapse should be over by now.

Nugra: =/\= Nugra to transporter room. Get Mc Ghee over here. NOW! =/\=

:: Nugra did not wait for a response, but closed the channel watching the viewscreen. The star had become even more unstable bubbling and trying to break it's own magnetic grip. ::

Drayton: Sorry, Captain. ::he sat back down:: I’m picking up massive traces of tachyon energy....Are you getting this? It’s sending my scans haywire!

Turner: Sharpe, Fire counter measures, and hope it will follow them, if not, brace for impact!

Sharpe: I can fire a torpedo spread and detonate it infront of the wave Captain, It will shake the colony up, but it should divert the worst of  the tachyon burst away from the Colony 

:: The bridge shook and having been on enough ships that had been hurt, he felt the tell tale rumble of structural damage. A glance showed that one of the nacelles had gone dark. ::

Turner: Damage report! Nugra did you get Mc Ghee in time?

Nugra: Confirmed. Mc Ghee is onboard! 

Turner: Good tell him to have the QSSD ready to go on my command. Vess, call the Shadow and Arrows and have them beam up all they can and get back to the ship on the double!  Ellis have all the transporter rooms beaming up every one else they can find!

 

Vess: Aye!

Ellis: Response

:: The bridge went wild trying to get everything prepared for what looked like the worse use of a Quantum Slip Stream Drive. Nugra resisted the urge to grip his panel tightly. A phantom memory came to mind of a intrepid class ship activating it's slip stream drive to ram something massive. The memory was very faint and sporadic. ::

Turner: Hopefully the mooring clamps will hold, and nothing will go anymore wrong than it has already.

Sharpe: Lucky for us the SIF and Shields are running at full power.

:: As the USS Thunder turned away from the planet that was falling apart, Nugra focused his sensors on the sun that was going wild. Chunks of it were being ejected from the core and it was in the last throes of it's life. Zooming in, astonishment crossed his face. The closeup adjusted picture had to be a mistake. It looked as if a strange starship was erupting from the sun leaving a trail of energy and matter trailing behind it. Had something been in the sun the whole time? ::

Turner: ::finding her voice:: Alucard, take us home.

 

Vess: ::Setting a new course.::  Gladly.

Mc Ghee: =/\= Mc Ghee to Nugra. =/\=

Nugra. =/\= Good to hear from you. How is the freighter? =/\=

Mc Ghee: =/\= Sir, just finished basic repairs. =/\=

Nugra. =/\= Good. Is her engines still down? =/\=

Mc Ghee: =/\= No commander, The vessel can be moved without difficulty. =/\=

Nugra. =/\= That's good to hear. Keep me informed if anything changes. Engineering is about to use the QSSD, so be ready. =/\=

:: No soon did he get the words out when the feeling of multiple realities struck him hard. But it was over as quick as it began putting them on the opposite side. He breathed a sigh of relief. ::

Nugra: =/\= Nugra to Captain Turner. Can I speak with you in a moment? =/\=

Turner: response
