-A few minutes later, [[trek:characters:macdougal|MacDougal] hails Mel in a soft voice, //“MacDougal to Deline.”// Mel steps away from the table and to the door of the pleasure room before she taps her combadge and replies, “Deline here.” MacDougal says softly, //“Ma’am… sir… ma’am,”// and Mel states, “Ma’am is fine.” MacDougal breathes a sigh of relief before continuing, //“Ma’am, ever since we’ve returned to orbit, all available millicochrane of power is being funneled into auxiliary power and the emergency batteries. However, the power generation and transfer are fifty percent over our maximums, and the batteries will be at 100% in five minutes, and will explode in fourteen minutes if this rate continues.”//+A few minutes later, [[trek:characters:macdougal|MacDougal]] hails Mel in a soft voice, //“MacDougal to Deline.”// Mel steps away from the table and to the door of the pleasure room before she taps her combadge and replies, “Deline here.” MacDougal says softly, //“Ma’am… sir… ma’am,”// and Mel states, “Ma’am is fine.” MacDougal breathes a sigh of relief before continuing, //“Ma’am, ever since we’ve returned to orbit, all available millicochrane of power is being funneled into auxiliary power and the emergency batteries.

 Mel demands, “What are you doing now?” MacDougal retorts, //“Trying not to piss myself? I’ve tracked down what appears to be a power transfer from another ship to us, but I want to send my findings to you and Lieutenant Ssleestak for confirmation.”// Mel agrees, so MacDougal immediately transfers his readings to the away team. Work stops as most of the officers immediately refocus and Mel returns to the table. Working together, the officers discover the source of the power transfer: the NCC-72409-A, //USS Solstice//! There is a moment of stunned silence, and then Mel grouses, “What is she doing up there?” Ssleestak taps his combadge and says, “Ssleestak to [[trek:characters:sola|Sola]]. Can you communicate with the crew of the //Solstice-A//?” The AI replies, //“Working on it.”//  Mel demands, “What are you doing now?” MacDougal retorts, //“Trying not to piss myself?

-On the bridge of the //Solstice//, Jen suddenly moves swiftly to settle into the captain’s chair. She toggles an all-ship hail and announces, //“All hands, all divisions. In less then two minutes, a foe called the Krenim Imperium will attack. Their mission is to erase this ship and all of Kordikar from history. These bastards rewrite history constantly to prevent any misfortune from befalling their bloody Imperium, and we have no choice but to fight. We fight for our right to exist free of temporal manipulations. We fight to save the three billion innocent lives below. And most importantly, we fight to buy the captain and the away team time to fix this. These are the oaths we swore when joining Starfleet, to defend those who can’t defend themselves. Here, now, we put those ideals to the test because we wear this uniform. All hands, red alert!”//+On the bridge of the //Solstice//, Jen suddenly moves swiftly to settle into the captain’s chair.

 As soon as the red alert klaxon goes off, multiple alarms wail from the Tizit sensors as well, as six ships suddenly appear in the inner system! Five are dun-colored cruisers, about three times the size of the //Solstice//, while the sixth ship is a massive cannon, ten times the size of their //Nova//-class starship! Mel’s data rod beeps, and she jabs down on the top! There is a split-second of dislocation, and then Phillip finds himself back on the bridge of the Solstice!((Someone failed their Stamina Reaction Test.)) Strangely, he’s alone at the conn station, which is configured for only one operator. He then registers the hamster ball attached to the conn station and a male voice calls out, “Attack pattern gamma!”  As soon as the red alert klaxon goes off, multiple alarms wail from the Tizit sensors as well, as six ships suddenly appear in the inner system!

-Phillip sees three larger, dark green 'scaled' ships that look like long daggers swing into view and he immediately conducts evasive maneuvers – and then realizes he has breasts! He ignores that for now and focuses on flying right up one enemy ship’s aft. He swings over and behind the first ship in a stomach-wrenching dive and the man behind him gurgles, “That was not attack pattern gamma!” He then hears Mel Deline call out, “Yeah, but this works too!” She fires a full brace of torpedoes at the exposed engines, and Phillip risks a glance back. He sees Armina and Saval in the right seats, Fal at Science I, and Mel at tactical. He recognizes the man in command as the previous captain, [[trek:solstice:pcs:alberic|Alberic Selense]], and swiftly realizes he’s in [[trek:solstice:pcs:daphne|Daphne Hatfield]]’s body!+Phillip sees three larger, dark green 'scaled' ships that look like long daggers swing into view and he immediately conducts evasive maneuvers – and then realizes he has breasts!

 He continues evasive maneuvers and rolls out of the way as a second ship opens fire – and strikes the crippled first ship accidentally! The first ship explodes as Mel unleashes another brace of torpedoes and Alberic orders, “Hail that Tokari ship!” Both surviving ships bracket the //Solstice// with overlapping fire despite Phillip’s maneuvers, and consoles explode behind him and he smells smoke! Armina says suddenly, “Wait, that’s not Daphne!” Phillip suddenly fades out, the last thing he hears is Saval mutter, “I’m fine with that.” He continues evasive maneuvers and rolls out of the way as a second ship opens fire – and strikes the crippled first ship accidentally!

 Phillip asks quietly, “So what was with the hamster then?” Everyone turns to stare at him blankly except for Meridian who steps closer and scans him with an unfamiliar handheld device. She grimaces and replies, “My apologies, Ensign Dade, you suffered a temporal disjunction and ended up in an alternate timeline for a few seconds before rematerializing here.” Mel demands, “Hamster?” and Phillip quickly explains what he experienced. Mel groans as she also realizes he jumped into Daphne’s body, although the attack he is describing never happened. She then registers ‘Tokari’ and Jessa asks, “I wonder if this has something to do with you dying multiple times?”  Phillip asks quietly, “So what was with the hamster then?” Everyone turns to stare at him blankly except for Meridian who steps closer and scans him with an unfamiliar handheld device.

-Phillip shrugs miserably, but Meridian interjects, “We’re working on ensuring Phillip Dade only dies once. Assuming that’s what you want?” Phillip nods forcefully, and Jessa lays a comforting hand on his arm and says softly, “Yeah, this is a little weird.” Mel asks Meridian, “So how do we ensure this Iconian hub won’t simply explode?” Meridian shrugs and retorts, “It won’t if you do this right. Also, shaking the rod makes Jonathan Archer mad, so stop doing that.” Incredulous, Meld demands, “Am I shaking him?” Meridian shrugs and replies, “It’s complicated.” Fal adds, “The complexity of this cross-temporal communications matrix is beyond impressive!” Meridian replies, “Thanks. You helped build it.” The Andorian calls out, “Captain, the Krenim are making for the wormhole!” Meridian’s smile turns brittle as she says, “I have to protect Bajor, and you have to get to that damned temple. Bye!” She jabs a button on a command vambrace, and the away team vanishes! +Phillip shrugs miserably, but Meridian interjects, “We’re working on ensuring Phillip Dade only dies once.

 Zug exclaims suddenly, “Wait, I have a dropper! We can use it to get to the surface!” Zivan howls at her son, “You promised me you got rid of that thing! You know I hate how dangerous they are!” Ssleestak muses, “I bet it’s a wild ride,” as Zug turns on his mother and yells back, “We just went into the future! This is not the time for this conversation!” He pivots again and yells to the Starfleet officers, “Follow me!” as he bolts out of the room! Zug exclaims suddenly, “Wait, I have a dropper!
