ON: OLD: McCloud: =^=Jonathon? can you hear....=^= Ford: =^=Captain, I hear you. I will stand down.=^= McCloud: =^= Good man. Now get back here with my shuttle and then get your butt back to the bridge. We'll meet in my ready room when you get here and you can tell me what you know about these aliens.=^= Ford: =^=Aye sir, I'm on my way.=^= ::Ford stops the core meltdown and weapons overload and heads for the Excalibur. He brings the shuttle in through the hole in the bay doors and lands. As he heads for the bridge, he smiles to himself.(I guess I've finally found a home here on the Excalibur. And a family who needs me. How can I let these people down?) NEW: ::Once Mr. Ford entered the ready room, with Tolbin present, he started to talk, but to reveal this information would be hardest thing to do.:: Captain McCloud: “OK, Cmdr. Do you have information on this race, and how you are connected with them?” ::Which he said with a calm voice:: Cmdr. Ford: “Yes, ::He paused and stared at the captain, and first officer, for a second, then begin to speak:: “Have you ever heard of a race called, ::paused:: the Gargoyles?” Cmdr. Tolbin: “Yes, they were part of earth mythology text, as being the strongest creatures of this planet, But_it was only myth.” Cmdr. Ford: “Of our world, anyway, but in a different reality, they are far to real. The aliens that appeared in us as light, is what we would call, a probe. ::The Captain was somewhat skeptic, of the news that Ford gave him, but still considering the possible affect.:: Captain McCloud: “Are you saying the alien race, that wants to destroy our world, is a Race called, Gargoyles?” Comdr. Ford: “Yes, but they are not any Gargoyles, they are a mutation of human DNA and Gargoyle DNA. It was said that in the forth age of mankind, our race once rose from the ground, our bravest and strongest leader, which was called, Goliath, mated with a Powerful Sorceress which was a princess of a glories empire. That mating spawned a more Strongest and Intelligent race of Gargoyles, a race that never needed to turn to stone at day, and was able to walk among us in human form. They then rename them self as the Gor‘Gon Race, of seekers of knowledge and explorers of the land.” Captain McCloud: “This is incredible, ::Which was fallowed by a cold expression, his thoughts were scramble, unable to think of what to say next.:: and you are one of them, ::pause:: a Gor’Gon? Cmdr. Ford: “Yes, I am.” Captain McCloud: “If you are from a reality, then how did you arrive here?” Cmdr. Ford: “That is one of many question that I still seek today, I do not know.” Captain McCloud: “What then do we see out there?” Cmdr. Ford: “The anomaly that we see now, is a vortex, leading to there reality, and with in hours, they will commence the joining.” Cmdr. Tolbin: “What is the Joining?” Cmdr. Ford: “I am afraid that I do not know, the only thing that I do know, is that the object that is entering your reality, is the beginning of the process, if the first stage is commence, then there will be no stopping them.” Cmdr. Tolbin: “if that happens, the Federation and others will fall, and at that point, we could never recover, ::She then looks at Ford:: What do we do? How can we stop them?” Cmdr. Ford: “I almost did.” Captain McCloud: “With he shuttle craft? ::pause:: For a Gor‘Gon, you should go the distance, of protecting a race of humans.” Cmdr. Ford: “I would go as far, as protecting mankind from destruction, my race was never evil, actually, we were a race of explores and seekers of knowledge, destruction was never our course of actions.” Captain McCloud: “Then what happen?” Cmdr. Ford: “A story for another time, perhaps.” Captain McCloud: ::Both stared at each other, through the eyes of both:: “Perhaps, indeed, then you think that a warp core breach can seal the vortex?” Cmdr. Ford: “Yes, I do, because if that thing enters our reality, then history will be change in a sec, ::pause:: no reset button on this one..” Cmdr. Ford: “And Captain, I would be most grateful, if you ad Cdr. Tolbin did not let this information leak through these walls, my Future in Starfleet would end, if my true identify was ever revealed.” OFF: Ok Captain, there it is, my brief history of my self, and a full description of what we are up against, and I believe that you have only one line of action, and it ends with a BOOM.. Good luck, and by your expression on your face you want to see me in private after all of this is over, if we survive.. Cmdr. Jonathon Ford Chief of Security USS Excalibur, NCC-2997
