-After her alarm goes off, Jessa spends the first fifteen seconds of consciousness utterly disoriented as she initially wakes up as Fero Tyr, consumed by the guilt of bombing a church! Then for a moment she is Terjan Tyr and frets about the upcoming day's appointments. Finally, she manages to properly arrange all the hosts with their personalities and lives before she gets out of bed.+After her alarm goes off, [[trek:solstice:pcs:jessa|Jessa]] spends the first fifteen seconds of consciousness utterly disoriented as she initially wakes up as Fero Tyr, consumed by the guilt of bombing a church!

-When Fal wakes up it is at the tail-end of a dream and he immediately grabs his padd to start scribbling down new recipes for //hasperat//, for the restaurant chain! It takes him a few seconds to realize that he is Fal Marik, chief science officer of the //U.S.S. Varich//, and not Ota Verik, restauranteur of Bajor's distant past. However, the recipes continue to flow from his subconscious mind to the padd and he notes that several of them appear to be fusion cuisine, traditional Bajoran //hasperat// combined with ingredients that did not exist on Bajor ten thousand years ago, including several Earth ingredients such as chicken. He calls out, "Sola, were there any temporal anomalies last night?" He then realizes he's on the //Varich//, not the //Solstice//, when the computer replies, //"A possible temporal signal was detected at 0333 hours."//+When [[trek:solstice:pcs:fal|Fal]] wakes up it is at the tail-end of a dream and he immediately grabs his padd to start scribbling down new recipes for //hasperat//, for the restaurant chain!

-Phillip wakes up and feels slightly off, as if he's a half-step behind everyone else. As Ssleestak awakens, he briefly tastes blood in his mouth, rich and red and full of iron. K’tral feels hollow and lost upon rising, while Mel wakes up very disoriented for a few seconds. After showering and donning her uniform, Mel checks the ship's logs and notices the potential temporal signature at 0333 hours last night. The signal is badly garbled thanks to the Rupture Zone, and Ensign Thal'tirian was unwilling to call it.+[[trek:solstice:pcs:phillip|Phillip]] wakes up and feels slightly off, as if he's a half-step behind everyone else.

-Mel heads to the bridge for the pre-meeting check in. She notes that Ensign Peel seems off as Lieutenant Evan Kras stands up to give his report.

 Mel agrees immediately, although she has no idea what 'thing' Evan is talking about. Evan puts Peel in command and then they exit the bridge and cross the corridor to Mel's ready room. Once inside, Evan turns to Mel and says quietly, "A few minutes after Thal'tirian detected the temporal shift, Ensign Peel Atuun asked to go to sickbay. I immediately granted her request, and she was gone for about twenty minutes." Mel steps back in utter surprise and concedes, "That's a 'thing' indeed!" They exit the ready room; Evan returns to the bridge and resumes command while Mel heads to the conference room. Mel agrees immediately, although she has no idea what 'thing' Evan is talking about.

-The senior officers gather for the normal pre-shift meeting and most of them were clearly affected by the unknown reading. Shan'taar is the last officer to arrive and as he takes his seat Mel eyes him and thinks to herself, //"He's wearing the wrong shirt."// She blinks and realizes he's wearing operations-gold as normal, while Shan'taar looks up, sees her gaze, and asks, "Captain, is something wrong?"

-Mel shakes her head and opens the meeting, as has become tradition the 'golds' go first. Ssleestak and K'tral report that they are pursuing twin projects, the supplemental computer core and upgrading the Urathi upgrades for installation on the //Varich//. The problem is that the upgrades were based on 23<sup>rd</sup> century technology, and while they share the same base code as their 24<sup>th</sup> century equivalents, it is tricky to reverse-engineer them for modern specs. Shan'taar states, "No incidents to speak of from our end, and our weapons have been checked and all torpedoes manually counted. On a side note, Crewman Chilp now has nametags on all of the torpedoes." Jessa snickers and replies, "Are they the 'Hello, my name is?" Shan'taar grumbles, which Jessa takes as an affirmative.+Mel shakes her head and opens the meeting, as has become tradition the 'golds' go first.

-The 'blues' go next, and She-Who-Swims reports, "No medical emergencies or even minor injuries. I would say the crew seems to be in excellent health, except for certain senior officers who look they didn't get any sleep last night." Armina concurs with Swims and asks, "It is obvious that most of you are flagging already. Did something happen?" Mel states, "Let's jump forward to that on the agenda.

 With this finding, Fal constructs a filter and runs a program to check every crewmembers' health monitors at the same split-second to see if anyone else has the same glitch. He only gets one hit, Ensign Peel Atuun. As he compiles the data from the seven affected officers, Fal muses, "Interesting, Peel is an outlier. She was awake when whatever happened." He projects the data on the main screen and quickly determines that Jessa has the clearest data; it seems like three separate brain wave patterns existed simultaneously for that split-second. With this finding, Fal constructs a filter and runs a program to check every crewmembers' health monitors at the same split-second to see if anyone else has the same glitch.

-Fal carefully asks, "Apologies, counselor, I am not familiar enough with Trill customs to know if I am being insensitive, but I must ask you, do you have copies of the brainwave patterns of your previous... hosts?" Jessa shakes her head and replies, "Nope. The only place I can think of that might have that is the Symbiosis Commission back on Trill." Shan'taar laments, "There's no way we can send out a signal that will reach Trill from here." However, Swims pulls up her padd, taps a command, and then the senior officers see the brainwave patterns of Fero and Terjan Tyr. The good doctor admits, "I requested copies of the prior hosts' medical records and brainwave patterns after the... Incident involving a prior host." Jessa shrinks in her chair a bit, as she is still deeply embarrassed about the time Terjan came out, while Fal compares to brainwave patterns and finds they are an exact match.+Fal carefully asks, "Apologies, counselor, I am not familiar enough with Trill customs to know if I am being insensitive, but I must ask you, do you have copies of the brainwave patterns of your previous... hosts?"

 Fal admits, "For me, the disorientation was going back to that alternate life in Bajor's past. I wish I had a copy of Ota Verik's data, because I think that's who was temporarily in my room. Unfortunately, Bajoran medical science back then was nowhere near what's on the //Varich// now." He realizes that he's been subconsciously typing in more //hasperat// recipes on his padd and looks down to find the most recent one is another fusion dish: Betazoid chicken and Terran pesto! Jessa leans over and declares, "I would eat that right now! But I didn't know you could cook." Fal retorts, "I can burn water!" Jessa replies, "I would imagine that will be bad for the lab!" Fal jokes, "You should see when I burn heavy water!" Fal admits, "For me, the disorientation was going back to that alternate life in Bajor's past.

Luckily both ensigns are serving gamma shift on the bridge, so she hails them and requests their immediate presence. As the officers wait, Mell muses about temporal echoes and wonders if this is something happening from the future. Swims points out, "Not only is that possible, captain, but it also wouldn't be the first time on this ship.((The doctor means the //Solstice//.

Mel informs the two ensigns, "We are discussing the incident at 0330 hours, and would like your input." Thal'tirian immediately explains, "I detected a blip of sorts a few light years ahead of our current position. It could be a temporal signature, or a subspace tear that didn't fully form, or another version of Phillip writing his name in subspace." Phillip grimaces and sides down his chair a bit, while Fal calls up the original sensor rating and examines it. He realizes immediately that the poor quality of the signal means no reliable conclusion can be drawn, and states aloud, "Ensign Thal'tirian is correct. I wouldn't have put in any conclusion if I had detected it myself."

 Peel remains silent, clearly not intending to volunteer anything. Mel decides not to push the issue for the moment, and declares, "There's data collection to be done. Thank you, Ensign Thal'tirian. Counselor, Doctor, you two are to gather the data from those affected, while Fal? You're on the hard data collection." Fal immediately agrees, while Swims and Armina eye each other and then decide to host a series of quick interviews here in the conference room. Peel remains silent, clearly not intending to volunteer anything.

-Fal returns to the main lab to collate all the data he has collected so far. Realizing that temporal mechanics is not his strongest suit, he hails Chief Rebecca Montrose and asks for her help. She swiftly agrees and joins him a few moments later. She examines the data carefully and says, "Sir, that initial signal? I can't be absolutely certain thanks to all the interference, but it does bear many similarities with the Krenim temporal weapons used at Kordikar. I think this might be some future event reverberating backwards ..." Her voice trails off as another data point catches her attention and she shifts her focus.+Fal returns to the main lab to collate all the data he has collected so far.

-Fal smiles indulgently and steps away to hail his friend Jen. He asks her if she would like to be involved with this research; she agrees and arrives within a few moments. Fal is happy to see her, and she replies, "I don't possess a fraction of the hard scientific knowledge you have, but I'm willing to take a look at the readings and see if I can find any patterns. Besides, I still entertain a faint hope that this might be some temporal fuckery that doesn't involve me!" Fal agrees and copies the data to Jen's pad. Jen departs the room and Fal decides to recruit Alexandria. He finds her in the stellar cartography lab, surrounded by holographic columns of the data they uploaded from the //Varich-A//. Realizing that she is clearly in the data analysis groove, Fal instead sends a text message she can read at her leisure.+Fal smiles indulgently and steps away to hail his friend [[trek:characters:jen|Jen]].

 Fal decides that he needs a command center for this project, so he commandeers the configurable lab on deck two. On the //Solstice//, this was the storage and workroom for all the historical artifacts that arrived with Jen, but on the //Varich// the room is unused. Recalling Jen's sarcastic comment, Fal christens the lab as the Temporal Fuckery Analysis War Room. Chief Montrose relocates there, and they continue their work. At 0930 hours, Jen storms into the lab and growls, "I found something. Something at the tail-end of each of the experiences; a single verteron particle!
