What he didn't share with Tina was that he was going , in his hammer like discretion, try to rescue the others. There he Iljor, Karrod and Fingus, taken by the the infamous Captain Thrike.

When they returned to the Excalibur, Vitor went to the brig to meet with the Admiral. Like the moment with Mary's betrayal it was a changing point. The fact that both men were parents, and that Vitor understood some of the reasons behind the Admiral’s actions, clicked in his mind. Their encounter was fruitful but there was still one last mission on Demes before he could rest. | |||
Teaming up again with “Spots” and Jor, this time under Zie’s command, they made their way back down. Tracking down the Andorian lifesigns of Tina’s unborn baby they managed to track her in another Demesian city. With Zie showing up her “hotrod driving skills” they made their way to the institution where Tina had been taken. In what wasn’t exactly the stealthiest of rescue missions, but they managed to get her back and returned safely to the Excalibur. | |||
Now on proper shore leave he caught up with his family, and formally change the ownership of his place in the 118 to Tito, a way to try and mend things a bit, but also to move on for Vitor. Moves and changes was something he should have gotten used to, but if Sher’s transfer to Ops was kind of a miss blessing, Sir’s transfer to the Gorkon was a bit more sour for him. But still he managed to offer Jor a formal dinner in the Banquet Hall, keeping up with their “meal on shore leave” tradition. Before that he visited Kali with an offer of Berlin Balls, accompanied with some of her good Vodka. | |||
Vitor visited the Round Table where he presented himself to Mirr, finally feeding his curiosity about her. Went to see Talos for a little catch up. Ending in Sickbay where he “paid” Doc Morgan for the “favor” Vitor asked before going to Demes. | |||
After all that he was ready to perform in the talent show they were holding this shore leave. | |||
With an overly produced, and physically demanding version of “Genie in a bottle” Vitor managed to finish his act, even after one his heels snapped. | |||
After being assisted by Genkos, Vitor assisted the awards ceremony, and was promoted to Full Lieutenant. Chatting with Talos, Morgan (Adriana not Doc Morgan) and Jor when suddenly a flash of light and a slim figure showed up. | |||
* [[The One With All The Timezones (Excalibur)|The One With All The Timezones]] | |||
Vitor found himself with Kali, Jor and Tib in what looked like some sort of Dungeon. He was wearing Ocidental clothes, but a top hat and something that looked like it was taken from the nineteenth century, while the others were wearing Oriental clothes. | |||
It didn’t take them long to realize they were in mid nineteenth century Japan, as they encountered Ii Naosuke, Daimyo of Edo Castle. They managed to convince the Daimyo they were traders from Europe, and as things were apparently quieting down they found themselves in a desert. | |||
With the view to the construction of a great Pyramid. Clearly they had been tossed into another place and timeline. What could have been a complicated situation was averted as Jor managed to convince the Pharaoh’s Guards they weren’t neither slaves nor sorcerers. With the excuse of being visitors to see the Pharaoh, that likely their appearance and understanding of the language helped, the team began to try and put their heads together to figure out what was going on. A theory devised as they thought of CloQ, the Q that had previously crossed paths with the Resolution before Sil transferred there. | |||
Soon enough as they were crossing the Ancient Egyptian Desert they literally took a step into a jungle. The five of them were now somewhere in a jungle, with three red moons. | |||
Clearly they were again taken to another time and place, and as they moved on they found an injured figure who was only able to whisper they were in the middle of a Hirogen hunt. | |||
They assisted the native and Vitor formed one of his plans, trying to force CloQ’s bluff. | |||
He stood still and wasn’t going to react to the Hirogen, forcing CloQ’s hand, if it was even him behind this. His thought was that if they didn’t react they would be boring to CloQ. | |||
Unfortunately his bluff was called out and the only thing saving him from a Hirogen blade was Kali’s quick reflexes. | |||
Again they were shifted to another place, time, or both. After a quick call out by the others for his stupid move, they began to look at their surroundings. This time they had a wardrobe change and Vitor recognized them as looking similar to Ancient Roman. Jor realized they weren't on Earth, they looked Roman but Magna Roman, not Rome Roman. And likely during one of their Civil Wars. | |||
That was confirmed when they encountered a Pretorian (Sertorius) that was there to ambush a slave convoy, to release his betrothed. After a quick discussion they chose to assist Sertorius and helped him in his ambush. Vitor found himself in a gladius fight against one of the guards until… | |||
He hit a wall, when dodging an attack. Kali passed by him, in uniform and it took him a second to realize CloQ was teasing them again. They had returned to the Excalibur, but not exactly at the right time. They were back, around the time Kali confronted him when he stole the shuttle and tried to cross a dimensional rift. Eventually it would be Kali to do it. And die. | |||
Jor and Tib went on to try and find a console they could use, Vitor reasoned with Kali that perhaps they shouldn’t interfere, something she agreed on. | |||
And again they were taken from where they were. This time they were in their nemesis realm. There CloQ wanted an apology for not being entertained enough. Vitor, in his very own style, thanked them for the challenges that they had faced. | |||
It had allowed him to grow, and at least there was purpose in that. Otherwise, as Vitor told CloQ, they would be insignificant. | |||
Naturally that didn’t bode well for the extremely powerful entity, and so CloQ, returned Vitor to the most traumatic point in his life. The moment he woke up from his coma and felt trapped in his body. Since that happened years ago Vitor’s physical appearance changed as well and he was rejuvenated. | |||
Rushed to Sickbay, Genkos took care of him as the whole traumatic experience of his recovery was vividly imprinted on him. Courtesy of CloQ. Genkos was there when he woke up from the several nightmares and the two of them shared a good conversation, getting to know one another better. | |||
Cleared from sickbay Vitor got a visit from Jor, keeping up the tradition of meeting during shore leaves. They shared a meal in his quarters as they chatted over the recent events. | |||
Zie also checked on him in the round table and Vitor also came across the new Counselor, Seta Jinean. He would ask her for an informal counseling session during breakfast because of his nightmares. | |||
Getting out of the ship he encountered an old comrade, Commander Ash MacKenna on DS224. Now serving on the Arrow they were also taking some time off in DS224. | |||
Vitor ended up getting acquainted with Commander Quentin Collins, as Zie also joined them. | |||
The awards party was something original, both crew's joined on top of the Excalibur’s hull to celebrate. | |||
* [[The Trouble With Tacos (Excalibur)|The Trouble With Tacos]] | |||
Returning to duty the Excalibur departed DS224 and Kali let Vitor undock the ship. He had taken the seat before, but never set it out and at his command of “Open sails” they left the station for their next mission. They were sent to the Neutral to mediate a dispute between the Klingons, the Romulans and the Son’a. Vitor was assigned to help Spots in setting up the “visitors” quarters, in a way that the delegations didn’t cross each other by chance, and link up with Intel regarding the Security dispositions. | |||
Setting up a later meeting with Spots about the accommodations, Vitor went to the Security Center where he connected with Lieutenant Sullivan and then visited Talos. With the Security part taken care off he joined Spots in the Round Table and as there they were approached by a crewman regarding a malfunction. | |||
Before, during the briefing, Kali had announced they would be doing a “Taco Tuesday”, something to bring up the morale of the crew. But the replicators were malfunctioning, not replicating utensils and making a general mess. And by replicators it meant all replicators. | |||
Spots called on Hallia and Vitor joined him as they headed to Engineering. | |||
There Vitor worked with Hallia and Gnaxac as they tried to find out what was causing the problems. They weren’t successful, but at least they came up with a solution… And Taco Tuesday was extended because the only thing they could replicate were… Tacos. | |||
The delegations began to arrive and so did more problems. A supposed diagnostic left the Excalibur without long range communications, and they prepared a reception for the delegates, with proper silverware. It was going normal until Klingon Ambassador Tork fell ill, soon followed by the others in different degrees of sickness. | |||
Yalu asked Vitor to check on the Son’a Ambassador assistant, and after conferring with Lieutenant Sullivan from Security he left the Round Table. The encounter with Vidhis wasn't exactly a success, but despite the provocations Vitor managed to pull it off from his best diplomatic skills. The next meeting however could be a challenge. Vitor went to interrogate “Counselor” Gott, hoping that due to his closeness with the Klingon Ambassador he could provide a clue regarding the negotiations. | |||
