The U.S.S VALKARIE A Prometheus Class Starship, It was one of the newer classes that had been built with the help of the Federation's newest Allies. They were a strange race that existed within a new dimension that had been discovered. These creatures were humanoid and looked down right human but had the ability to transcend the physical plane and would become a mist like creature but needed specialized suits to live in earth as their mist forms. Because they were born in pairs, the federation had dubbed them the Gemini. They had come and agreed to help the federation grow stronger as every other race could sense that the federation was growing old. The Sona, the Baku, The Dominion. All had smelled the blood in the water and yet right at the best time this new dimension had opened up and had come right when they were needed to help the federation.<br/><br/>"NCC-1138, USS Valkarie" Achrul sighed as he tugged on his federation uniform and made sure his uniform was good fitting and looked good. He always had to push hard to be in the federation, ever since the history of his parents were revealed. His parents never showed to him anything about them being romulan sleeper agents but it all came out when they were killed in a speeder accident. Ever since then there was always a microscope over him making sure he didn't do anything against the federation, yet it still was even a struggle to enlist in the federation and make it through the academy.<br/><br/>He looked at the roster sheet that showed where he was being transfered to and was a little pleased yet also surprised. Was the federation really letting him serve upon one of the newest Gemini aided built ships. They were something of a beauty and aided with new technology there was no end to what these ships could do.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Pollux strode through the hallways of the Valkarie, He was the 2nd in command of this ship as it had been a joint cooperation build between the Gemini's and the Federation. He was a 3rd life Gemini as he was mist that filled up their specalized suit. It allowed him to survive outside of his dimension. But since this was a federation ship as well they would only give him second in command and not captain. He didn't mind being 2nd in command because he knew that the federation was still wondering just what his race wanted in exchange for all of the technology they were giving and helping with the Federation.<br/><br/>He walked to one of the turbolifts and walked in. "Bridge." He stood quiet as his suit gave the command to the ship's computer. The voice it gave had a slight german accent as the computer listened before it complied and brought the lift up to the bridge before he stepped out. "Has anyone seen the captain today?" He wanted to inform her about some of the new crew members that they would be bringing in.<br/><br/>the gemini<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

</div><br/>===<br/><br/>SYNN:<br/><br/>Damaris Kristopher, the captain of the U.S.S. Valkarie, placed her long raven hair into a tight bun with a hair pin to hold it in place. That hairpin had been a gift from a previous Klingon lover, and that hairpin had saved her life on more than one occasion. The intricately engraved silver pin was quite sharp, and she kept it dipped in a particular poison. The poison was very hard to come by, but it was always most effective, in fact fatal, to humans and humanoid races. It was the venom of the Mugato, an ape-like race from the planet Neural that could resemble what we would think an abominable snow creature would be from Earth's fairytales. She looked at herself in the mirror and smoothed her uniform over, making sure it fit in all the right places. She dabbed her plump pink lips with a deeper red lipstick that looked stunning against her pale skin. A small amount of silver eyeshadow was applied, and everything was complete. She headed out of her quarters towards the bridge.<br/><br/>Damaris is a Betazoid that, a few years back, had been captured by the Species 8472, an offshoot race of the Borg that surpassed them in combat prowess and technology. She had been fully assimilated for five years before she was rescued and the implants had taken weeks to remove completely. Still, she could sometimes hear the voices of the others. It was a residual nightmare that she was told would pass with time, but it had already been so long. She resorted to thinking that none of the medical expertise she was sent to was quite sure just how someone recovers from such an encounter that had been deep in their hive for such an extended amount of time.<br/><br/>Still, after all, she had been through and had been cleared by the top medical teams within the Federation, they gave her command of her own ship and a prototype at that. The U.S.S. Valkarie was a joint effort with the Gemini race that would prove quite fruitful should this ship, and its crew perform well. She was a bit hesitant in seeing just what kind of team they had sent her. Damaris was not the open and trusting type and was known in the Federation for being a hard ass, almost cold as ice at times despite her telepathic abilities that she indeed utilized to her advantage.<br/><br/>Damaris stepped onto the bridge and surveyed who was present while her hands remained behind her back as she walked towards the captain’s chair. She turned her head to look at her second in command and smiled, “Pollux I presume?”<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Castor:<br/>Pollux turned to look over at the Captain, his mist swirled around in the head storage area of his suit. "Ah there you are captain, we will be able to be underway shortly as the new crew members arrive." It was always hard just to tell where a 3rd life Gemini was looking as they had no viable body just mist. Which was helpful for allowing pollux to look over the caprain all over as he stood there. "We are supposed to get a few humans, one denobulan and then a half vulcan/human and one romulan. I guess the upper levels finally signed off on allowing the boy to serve."<br/><br/>He looked out over the bridge as several species worked and performed their duties but couldnt shake the eyes that would be on him. There was distrust between the gemini and some federation species as no one truly knew why they came to help and what they looked like inside of their own dimension. "Well with everything underway we should be able to leave space dock and be on our way captain." He then turned and started to walk out but not before letting some of his mist out as he looked to the helmsmen. "Lets start up the engines and get this ship underway."<br/><br/>Achrul was reading over his padd when it gave an alert that all new crew members were to head to medical for a slight medical check up to be put into the ship's medical base. He nodded and put the padd away and started to head off to the med bay. Archul looked at the medic and nodded. "Earth, I grew up in Washington state to be precise." He then looked around before looking back at the woman and offered a slight smile. He wasnt like any other romulan who was stern and often very cold. He grew up on earth knowing very little of the hatred the romulan empire had for the federation.<br/><br/>Federation Command was watching over the departure of one of it's newest ships that both the high command and the Gemini council had built together. Stronger alloys and yet lighter build. Its weapons had been upgraded to use a new technology from the gemini which would allow it to use a dimensional displacement which would cause the torpedos to go through shields like they never existed. The shielding upgrades allowed their ship to be able to pass into the new dimension without being badly damaged over time and distance.<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Synn:<br/><br/>Damaris arched a brow at the thought of a Romulan serving aboard her ship. She folded her arms in front of her as Pollux continued. She didn’t trust the Romulan species and not many other races did for that matter. She trusted them less than the newly recognized Geminis. This new recruit will be one to watch for sure and if they slip up just once, well there would be hell to pay and Damaris was known for not being kind when it came to court marshals.<br/><br/><br/>She tilted her head to the side, watching the Gemini let out a little steam and wondered if that steam was ever recoverable. Perhaps just enough could be left behind as a spy of some sorts. Her head was spinning with conspiracy theories and yet she remained cool and collected. Hardly ever did Damaris make a knee jerk reaction.<br/><br/><br/>She walked over to the Captain’s chair and sat down, crossing her legs as the hem of her skirt lifted up to her thighs. She tapped in the code to activate her command controls and watched the right arm of her chair light up a pale blue. She looked ahead at the communications screen, reading the latest reports from each deck of the ship and departments. She took particular interest in the medical logs as she had a fascination with alien physiology. It aided in her combat skills as she had a Klingon trainer for years who also became her lover for a short time before he died in combat a year ago today. She caught herself reminiscing instead of paying attention to the task at hand and snapped out of it but shaking her head slightly.<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Castor:<br/><br/>Pollux looked at the Captain as she placed herself in her command seat while he stood and watched the rest of the bridge officers take their post as he looked at their pilot and nodded. "Take us out of space dock and head out to the first galaxy gate so that we may pass through and head into Dimension W and meet up with Gemini High command to get our orders to see how well this ship performs its tests and I should hope that this ship is able to pass every test with flying colors as we are going to be the best ship in starfleet or the high command's fleet."<br/><br/>Pollux was trying to boost moral and make people think that this new ship was something to be proud of. While it was good technology that the Gemini high command had shared with starfleet he knew that there were ships in the high command stellar guard that could easily put the USS.Valkyre to shame due to the Gemini wanting to just test if the two systems could be compatiable with everything the gemini ships had and to make sure it could work with starfleet equipment.<br/><br/>"Well captain, that should put a fire under their feet to make sure everything gets done completely." He knew that there was suspicion with the other races to the gemini. So he was going to make sure that people on this ship knew that he was dedicated to making the Valkarye the best ship that was out there.<br/><br/>Deep within the confines of Starfleet HQ there were musing and whispers about what the federation was really dong with this new species and new dimension. No one truly knew better then those who had been brought into the deepest folds of those who knew that the federation was truly being handed over to the Gemini to insure that Starfleet can keep up against their foes who have all sensed blood in the water and with the New Dimension discovered there was a high amount of threats to starfleet there and without the gemini help and presence starfleet wouldnt stand a chance being surrounded by enemies new and old.<br/><br/>Corvus Stood in the back of the office as he read over some padds and looked at the numbers, there had been an increase of hostile movements between romulans and the neutral zone. "You see my dear, this is excactly why you need us in control. Another rift will open near there and our fleet will come and push those romulans back to where they belong." He was an Orion a top level Gemini and he let out a slight mist, possibly in irritation while he had control of the rest of the mist which was swirling around the hose clad legs of a beautiful woman who had been placed high in Starfleet, her name was that of Deanna Troi, once former Counselor of Starfleet's flagship the USS Enterprise.<br/><br/>"Tell me my pet, How is it that Starfleet allows your enemies to taunt and push into territory that doesn't belong to them, You see how they put "research" stations near border areas close to manned starfleet worlds, what research is there to be had? It's easily noticed that they are staging points and yet your federation does nothing but sit back on its hands."<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Synn:<br/><br/>Damaris continued to read the medical logs of everyone on board that was of particular interest, mainly the Gemini and the Romulans. Two species she had not encountered in combat, thus their weaknesses became a fascination, almost an obsession. She would glance at Pollux out of the corner of her eye when she looked up from viewing the padd in her hand. Then she would survey the rest of the bridge crew, sizing them up as it were. Damaris was a cautious and calculating individual, rarely anything took her by surprise and she worked tirelessly to keep it that way.<br/><br/><br/>Once free from the space dock, she glanced at the gentlemen at the helm. “Engage warp drive. I want to waste no time reaching the galaxy gate” she ordered as she stood up from her chair and turned to look at Pollux. “That should place us there within the hour” she calculated. “You have the bridge Pollux” she stated as she walked off of the bridge.<br/><br/><br/>Damaris made her way down to the infirmary to see if the doctor had managed to obtain a sample of the mist that comes from the Gemini. She and the doctor were quite close and were both fascinated with the new Gemini species as well as leery. Studying them was a means to an end in learning more about them. She walked into the infirmary, waving to the ensigns that were being medically cleared. She strolled into the doctor’s office and sat down in his leather armchair as he scribbled away on a piece of paper at his desk.<br/><br/><br/>“Good to see you Damaris” he smiled as he turned to look at her. Doctor Hanson was a human around the age of 45. He had black hair that was clean cut and a goatee with grey highlights. He wore a white coat over his uniform and polished black boots. He had a British accent that Damaris absolutely adored.<br/><br/><br/>“Did you obtain what we discussed a few days ago?” she asked, cutting to the chase.<br/><br/><br/>“My dear, you waste no time do you?” he chided, placing his pencil down on the desk. Hanson was old fashioned when it came to his notes. He did not like using the padds as they could easily be hacked, so he kept his diary of research in a locked box in his office that sat behind a movable bookcase. Damaris was the only other one that knew where it was and how to open it.<br/><br/><br/>“You’ve know me long enough, Derrek” she smiled, drumming her fingertips on the arm of the chair as she glanced around his office. “You changed your décor again I see.”<br/><br/><br/>“I was tired of the drab browns. I thought I would spice it up a bit” he said as he waved his hand around, pointing at the subtle greens and blues that accented the office. “Now, onto business. I was able to capture a small sample of the mist they release” he said as he reached into his top drawer and pulled out what looked like a test tube that was filled with the swirling mist within a type of containment field. “I’ve been running some tests on it but thus far, I don’t have anything conclusive to tell you. Give me a few more days love” he said as he placed the tube back in the drawer.<br/><br/><br/>“Tissue samples are so much easier” she huffed as she stood up from the armchair.<br/><br/><br/>“Yes, yes they are” he chuckled as he motioned for her to approach him.<br/><br/><br/>Damaris walked over and stood before him, placing her hands on his shoulders. He reached up, wrapping his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her down into a long passionate kiss that took her breath away. She mewed as she finished the kiss and stood back upright. “Will I see you tonight?” she asked as she headed for the door.<br/><br/><br/>“I will see you tonight Damaris” he grinned as he returned to his desk and picked up his pencil.<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Castor:<br/><br/>Pollux nodded as he took control of the bridge and told the helmsman to put in the coordinates for the galaxy bridge. One of many put around so that specially fitted federation ships were able to cross into another dimension. One that was quite different and sometimes inhospitable to human life. He walked over to the command seat and put in the command for the ship to tell all decks and crew that the ship was to pass through the dimensional gates and that there would be some minor side effects of dizziness,nausea and in extreme cases there could be the thoughts of paranoia and fear. He could feel the ship's engines pulse and truly come to life. He then sat back watching everyone knowing that some would feel the effects as soon as they passed through and for others it would take time. So far there was nothing that could be done but star fleet scientists were getting more and more information with this new alliance that was made.<br/><br/>In sickbay the mist inside of the containment field would of been able to give the doctor so much information if only he had the tools to be able to read it. unlike human skin, the mist was a way for a gemini to in all essence stretch their legs so to speak, to be able to reach out from beyond the confines of their suit and holding tank. It allowed them to momentarily feel out more without having to be held in. Now while after time naturally it would fade into nothingness and die off, keeping it in a stasis chamber you were keeping it from passing back to its dimension and there would be problems.<br/><br/>As the ship got to the gate it had to dock and be scanned to make sure that everything was working and prepared to go through the gate and into what starfleet had dubbed Dimension W as it was now being considered the 4th dimension..one that exists in its own time and space. and that was where the gemini were from. Once the ship had passed all inspections the gate started to activate to allow the Valkarie through. Pollux had given a comm message to the captain to see if she would like to be present as they passed through and if she would like the honors of giving the command to have the ship go in.<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Synn:<br/><br/>Deanna flashed her puppy brown eyes at Corvus before returning to pouring him his greenish tinged drink from a fancy crystal flask into a simple cup. She walked the drink over to his desk and set it down next to his writing hand with a small white coaster so as to not damage the antique wooden desk. “The Federation is well aware of the strategic positioning of these research bases and has equally countered them with implanting spies and rogue sleeper cells within these bases. There is nothing to be concerned with that the Federation has not already considered and built a contingency plan for” she said as she knelt down on the floor next to his feet.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Damaris headed back to the bridge to view the entry into the next dimension. She stepped off of the turbolift onto the bridge. For a moment, all eyes fell on her before they returned to what they were tasked to do. Her eyes fell onto Pollux as she walked down the few steps to her chair. She had waited for him to move before seating herself. “Take her in” she ordered as she crossed her legs.<br/><br/><br/>No doubt she was nervous about this trip and the potential side effects on herself and the crew were foremost in her mind. The last thing she wanted was the extreme cases to not be noticed right away and handled with the utmost care and security. She made sure Hanson had medical teams strategically stationed throughout the ship and runners that monitored the halls for signs of distress. Those that were pre-identified that could be a potential danger had already been isolated in sickbay with additional medical and security staff. Sedatives were given to make the transition as smooth as possible.<br/><br/><br/>As the gate was entered, people’s vision distorted and the head pressure was as if you were sitting in a G force simulator. Some of the people on the bridge started to dry heave as the nausea got the best of them. Damaris remained in her seat, but the head pressure was so strong, a migraine started to develop rapidly. The noise levels distorted as well and she swore she could hear people’s thoughts yet they were garbled and foreign sounding. She grasped her head and lowered it into her lap as the ship continued to move through the gate. Then the nausea came. The room started to spin and slowly grow dark as she blacked out.<br/><br/>==<br/><br/>Castor:<br/><br/>Corvous looked at the tea then down at Deanna and ran a hand through her hair before he opened up a seal on his suit and let some mist come out which seemed to flow over the tea and slowly start to absorb it into his body. Once he closed the valve he turned back to Troi and pulled her up as he ran a hand down along her chest. He then walked back to his desk as he pulled up a view screen. "It seems that the Valkarie has passed through, Lets see just how well they can cope." He sat back at his desk, his metalic fingers of his suit tapping each other as he pressed them together.<br/><br/>"My pet, Its been some time and sometimes I do forget, I want you to tell me in full detail, what you did,what you were wearing and how it felt when you became mine." He watched her as for a second the mist that swirled inside of his suit seemed to turn solid and when he looked at her she could almost see a skull like appearance before it seemingly turned to mist as it had to in this dimension. Corvous looked Deanna troi up and down as he tended to as a way to let her remember where she was under his command and for pure entertainment.<br/><br/>As the Valkarie made its way into the new dimension Pollux watched the crew start to be effected by the new dimension. He knew this was bound to happen so he would have to place the majority of the crew into their quarters as he called up the gemini members to help place the rest of the crew in quarters and split around to be able to crew the ship. One of the Gemini walked down to the medbay and looked at the doctor as he started to unscrew a valve on his suit. "you shouldn't of tried to tamper with a LIVING creature" The mist inside of the jar squirmed around before knocking the jar onto the ground and shattered releasing the mist which slowly started to shift and move around.<br/><br/>Pollux looked at the Captain and walked over to her unconscious form and picked her up from the chair and carried her to her quarters as he shook his head. "Humans...weak."
