"Excuse me?" Winters replied back, almost half confused and annoyed.

"Oh no, it's the same thing with you..." Commander Pibb said softly, his shoulders sank in frustration.

"Some thing? What are you talking about Commander?" Aurther leaned forward onto his desk. Pibb in return took a seat across from him, a loud thud as he hit the chair.

"This is going to sound a little crazy, all things considered, but I swear we had a Lt. Wyatt on this ship. And either, I have been hallucinating him, or the entire ship has decided to play a trick on me." He paused, "Considering the circumstances, it's a poor joke at a bad time."

"Of course I know him." Aurther replied back, catching Pibb's attention and lighting up his eyes.

"So the ship is playing a trick on me?"

"I don't think so. I would just keep this between us for right now. I saw Wyatt, just a short time ago. I got some cryptic message from him and ended up going to his quarters. He told me Axelrod was the answer to saving his life or something, and then he just... disappeared." Aurther thought for a moment and then tried to read his Chief of Security's face.

"Like... he was transported away?" Pibb asked quietly, not trying to insult the Captain.

"No! Like, just vanished out of sight, faded away. Then suddenly there was an Ensign Wynonna in his quarters."

"Oh that's her name..." Pibb let our a little half smile, "She was cute."

"Regardless..." Winters loudly replied as he rolled his eyes and tired to steer the conversation back to it's point, "She said she had been on the ship for a year, which is about the time John had been assigned. Now, temporal mechanics were not my strongest suit, but if I had to venture a guess, I want to say that this might have something to with this time travel rumors that are slipping into the discourse. Now you remember him, as do I. But ever other person on this ship seems to have no memory of him."

"I ran his name through the Starfleet records, and nothing came up." Pibb added.

"And yet somehow I feel this all ties back to Axelrod and Romulans somehow." Winters leaned back in his chair. "Proceed on mission, I'm not sure what, if anything we can do for Wyatt right now, but we have to find and bring Axelrod into custody. Maybe then we might get some answers."

"Yes sir." Pibb nodded as he stood up and left the Captain's ready room. Aurther turned his head to look out his window and the stars that passed by.

"I feel like I say this more than I like to... but Wyatt, what did you get yourself into now?" Winters uttered out loud, followed by a half sigh. It was just then he noticed a PADD on his desk. It wasn't Starfleet, it was Romulan in design. "The Information for Axelrod?" he thought as he picked it up and started top read.
