(( USS Constitution-B – Stellar cartography ))
Things were going quite well, despite the lack of proper advances, so he decided it was a good moment to check on his not-away team crewmates.
Shimisi: =/\= How are things on your side? =/\=
S'Rrrrell: =/\= Something is wrrrong with the sensorrrs. I am currrrrrently rrrunning a diagnostic. It is as if someone has added anotherrr layerrr on the arrrrrray to make things morrre difficult. =/\=
Motha: Response
Shimisi: =/\= What do you mean? What's it? =/\=
S'Rrrrell: =/\= We don't know, hence the diagnosis rrroutine, Sirrr. =/\=
Motha: Response
Shimisi: =/\= I see. We have two workbees out there with the FO and counselor Ba'el, do you need them to check that from the outside? =/\=
S'Rrrrell: =/\= If you could, Sirrr. We have trrried what we could frrrom herrre. If we alrrready have someone out therrre, it will sparrre me having to drrress up in an EVA Suit to check myself. =/\=
Motha: Response
Shimisi: =/\= I'll try to avoid that from you. I'll contact them and they'll share what they see, wait a moment. =/\=
S'Rrrrell: =/\= Yes Sirrr. We will be on stand by. ::The console beeped.:: Ah diagnosis is done. Ourrr systems worrrk just fine. It must be on the outside. =/\=
Shimisi: =/\= That helps. I'll contact you in a moment =/\= :: He tapped his comm badge to close the channel, then opened another one :: =/\= Shimisi to Ba'el =/\=
Ba'el: Response
Shimisi: =/\= Motha and S'Rrrrell have concluded that there's something on the outside interfering with our sensor. I wonder if you can check it out and tell them what you find out =/\=
Ba'el: Response
Shimisi: =/\= Oh, I hope it's nothing serious, but if you can have a quick look, it might help the ship to read better what's out there. =/\=
Ba'el: Response
He had also been overhearing what So'Mior and the new arrival had been working with the sample and it seemed that they're getting somewhere. While Ba'el, Motha and S'Rrrrell were working about the sensors, he used his PADD to check on the ship's status, noticing that they're on yellow alert, so he sent a message to the bridge. The message informed them that some particles of the nebula seems to be settling on the hull, interfering with sensor readings so they should be specially aware of any ghost images. Then he moved next to the two scientists.
Shimisi: How's it going?
So'Mior/SydT: Response
Shimisi: Motha and S'Rrrrell informed me that something is covering the sensors, maybe even part of the hull. Does any of your analysis show if it has any magnetic properties?
So'Mior/SydT: Response
Shimisi: If there's a way we can repel those, it might improve our chances. Maybe we can use, either the shields or deflector to move them away and clear our path.
So'Mior/SydT: Response
