John left the conference room for the Pheonix bridge, walking towards docking bay 6 he noticed Narsil working on the terminal. "Lieutenant please he quick with thoose repairs, we leave dock in 30 minutes" he said, Narsil noded and John continued toward the bridge.
John arrived on the bridge a few minutes later and sat down.

Narsil worked on the console for almost an hour, at a loss to explain the malfunction. what the **** is that? thought Narsil as he spotted a small green device at the very back of the tangle of isolinear and bio-gel conduits. After scanning the device to make sure it wasn't a bomb, narsil took it to engineering to figure out what it is.
20 minutes later...
=^=Brozgal to Roberts=^=
=^=Roberts here.=^=
=^=Sir, I have something down here in engineering that you and the senior staff might want to see=^=
John paused for a moment wondering what it could be then =^=Affirmative Lieutenant, bring it to the comference room.=^=
=^=Aye=^=
15 minuets later, the senior staff was assembled in the comference room and every single one of them was staring at the small green device exactly the size and shape as a baseball.
"OK....What is it?"said John
"A transport enhancer, more specifically, a Romulan transport enhancer." said Narsil "one more advanced than any other Romulan technology any of us has seen to date"
"so thats how they were transporting soldiers on board" said Alex
"Yes" said Narsil
"Wait a second, We never detected any romulan starship anywhere near us... even with this enhancer they would need to be close" said Nik
"normally that would be true, that is if this enhancer was from this century" said Narsil
"...This Century?" said John
"yes this thing has a distinct temporal signature on it...it definately travelled through time at on time or other"said Narsil
"so when did it come from?" said Caitlin
"I'd guess...500 years from now." said Narsil
"my god" said Nik
"whats its range?" said Alex
Narsil thought for a moment as he looked out the windows at the stars streaking past as the ship sped through federation space at max warp "anywhere."said Narsil
"Anywhere?" said John
"Yes anywhere." said Narsil "well...anywhere in Federation, Romulan, or Klingon space"

John st stuned, "So basicly the federation stands no chance unless we can find some way of combating this transporter device" he said, "would it be possible to use this technology to our advantage?" John asked.
"we could use it to modify the shields so that they couldnt use it against us, and transporters, but there was no need to mention thoose" he replied
"Munro, help him out on the shield enhancements, we need this done within the next 2 days or so, we are due to meet with the 7th fleet in 3 days, so I must ask you, can the shields be done within that time?" John asked with some query in his voice.

"Thank you sir" B-4 replied.

"I'll get it done sir"said Narsil
"sir, one more thing" said Narsil "as i've mentioned before...this technology is from almost 500 years in the future, and while we view this as a grose violation of the temporal prime directive, the Romulans have never been bothered with timelines...i refuse to believe, however much i'd like to, that this is the only technology that was retreived by their little excursion."
"wait a sec" said Munro "more than once in the past something like this has happened but the federation sent ships or people or something to correct the timeline...why aren't they here now?"
after a pause Narsil said "I can only conclude that as far as the Federation is concerned there is no future...with technology like this the romulans could have crushed us easily...I can only gues that by the time this technology is originally created, the Romulan empire will encompass the vast majority of the alpha quadrant or more....we must stop them here...even i'm at a loss for how we are supposed to do this...but we've got to find a way."
"Indeed" said John
every officer in the room whether they showed it or not was shoked beyond words by what had just been revealed...a weight unlike any other had just fallen onto the shuolders of a crew of litle less than a 1500.

The room suddenly went silent, then Munro had the worst thoght possible at a time like this, What if this happend to us before, and we messed up, cuaseing the death of the Federation.
Munro stood up, looked at Narsil, "Is it possible that we have encounterd this before, and maybe done something wrong, so wrong infact it cuased the fall of Humans, Kilingons everyone?" The room fell into silence again, "well not this time" Alex then turned and left the room.

"the fact of the matter Commander Munro" said Narsil, breaking the silence just as munro reached the door to the bridge "is that it is both completely possible, and completely impossible, that we were the cause of the events yet to unfold, that is if they unfold at all."
Alex turned in the door way to look at Narsil, who was leaning back in his chair at the table, right next to Admiral B-4. B-4 seemed to understand the meaning of this cryptic statment, John also seemed to grasp the idea, at least he looked less confused than the rest at the table...but Alex was not interested in cryptic statements or scientific bull, and yet he had to know what Narsil meant.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" said Alex
"Well the fact is, Commander, that time is something that is not very well understood" said Narsil "working yourself into a 'its not going to be my fault' state is only going to cause problems"
"'its not going to be my fault state'!" said Alex
"Look don't get worked up...i'm just saying, we don't KNOW that the Romulans will conquer anyone due to their new found advancements in technology. It is entirely possible that the Federation wins the war, however unlikely it may seem...Or maybe the Federation of the Future did not go this far back in time to change the romulan incursion...perhaps the Romulans became our allies in the end" Alex snorted "the point is"continued Narsil "that any number of things could have happened...what we need to understand is we don't know what DID happen, and until we do, theres no point in getting upset"

John looked at Narsil, "I dont think that was what Munro ment" The looking at Munro, John stood, "I belive he was trying to say we cant allow ourselves, if it was us that cuases this, to repat the same mistakes" John stayed standing.
Munro just noded, then people began to leave back onto the bridge in silence, "Mr Munro, inform the other vessels we are ready for departure, and Narsil, dont forget you have 48hours to do the calibrations" he said with a rather sturn voice.
