Setting: USS ANUBIS, Bridge
Stardate: 63073.1100

Elliot had looked around the ship and to his surprise he could not find anyone anywhere, as he walked back onto the bridge he had the feeling he was being followed, with this feeling he turned quickly to be face to face with a man in red Starfleet uniform.

"Excuse me laddy do you know what's goin' on here?" asked the young man in what sounded to be a scottish accent.

"Eh? do I know you?" replied ET then continued in a soft tone.  "Hold on a minute you look familiar."

The Starfleet officer just looked at Ensign Thomas and then added, "Well I din nae ken who you are laddy but I would still like tae ken where I am cause it surely does nae look like the ENTERPRISE."

The COO looked stunned then commented, "You served on the ENTERPRISE?" he paused then continued with a smile "That ship is legendary and it is an honor to meet anyone who is affiliated with her, even if we are some how in different times.  Oh what is your name by the way, I'm Ensign Thomas or Elliot to my friends." 

This time the surprised look was on the engineering officers face, "Well it's good to meet you laddy, I'm Scotty fae engineering... So what do you mean by different times? I surely can nae be in the future?"

Ensign Thomas just looked at Scotty and smiled then in a happy tone he added, "Maybe we should get a drink, after all I've no idea how we're going to fix this problem, and to be honest my head hurts just thinking about what is going on here."

ET and the engineering officer headed in the direction of the Black Hole, both chuckling about the situation and chatting about what had happened or how it could get fixed.

Setting: USS ANUBIS, Deck 16, Black Hole
Stardate: 63073.1120

Ensign Thomas and the scotsman entered the Black Hole and went to the nearest replicator.

Scotty stood for a second and contemplated what to order, when he asked Elliot, "Can you get any kind o' drink fae this machine or does it hae some kindae security code, as I widnae mind a scotch whiskey purely for medicinal purposes you know laddy."

The COO looked at the engineer and chuckled while he requested from the replicator, "2 scotch whisk..."

Before he could finish the sentence Scotty interrupted, "mind and dinnae fae get the ice laddy."

Elliot smiled then continued to make the request, "2 scotch whiskey's with ice."

ET walked over to the table that the scotsman had chosen, he sat down and passed one of the drinks to the young engineer then took a sip of his whiskey and began huskely,  "So you got any ideas of what could have happened because I have a few myself, but this is the most weird thing that has happened to me.  The computer keeps insisting that there are no personnel missing however after seeing that everyone disappeared from the bridge I rushed back to my quarters and my children are missing too, this is a really weird situation we are in."

The engineering officer sipped his drink then looked at the COO and claimed, "What ever's happened laddy, you can be sure that there's someone somewhere working on fixing this problem, or at least trying to get us back, I mean I dinnae ken about you but my ship and crew need me laddy and I'm dam sure their looking fae some way to get me back."

 [[I hope someone is working on this issue, cause I don't have any idea on how to fix this and I'm dam sure on the way this engineer is drinking, neither of us are going to be able to think straight soon,]] Elliot thought to himself as he took another sip of his whiskey.
