-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 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!
