Taylor: It looks like a regular nebula, as far as sensors can identify it.
McLaren: I know... but it clearly isn't. :: Sol looked to Ryden. :: Any thoughts, Mr. Kel?
Kel: I recommend advising the crew to minimize stimulant intake until we know more. Caffeine, even chocolate, could amplify neurological responses under the wrong conditions. Best to err on the side of caution.
Sol nodded. Made sense to her. So far she wasn't seeing anything out of the ordinary. She hoped it stayed that way as well.
Voss: I think it’s humming. ::no, that wasn’t quite right:: I mean, it… it’s oscillating. It’s acoustic but it’s deeper. Like a stone skipping on the water.
Sol looked over to Lyra, wondering just where she was headed with this.
Voss: It’s another kind of wave! Dancing and buffeting and… ::no, these were not encouraging expressions on their faces:: Not ionizing, not electromagnetic, not alpha, or beta, or…
Taylor: Dancing and.. buffeting?
McLaren: How do you mean?
Kel: Response?
Voss: ::with sudden determination:: I need to get to the lab. I can hear it better in the lab.
Taylor: ::barely a whisper:: you’re not here. You can’t be.
Sol glanced around the bridge. From what she could tell at least two of the other officers on the bridge were experiencing the effects of the nebula. She took a breath and stood moving to stand just behind the conn. She leaned over and tapped in a few commands, beginning to back the ship away from the nebula.
McLaren: Everyone breathe... what are you all seeing?
Kel/Voss: Response?
Taylor: I am.. experiencing hallucinations as well. Something that can not be.
She wasn't going to ask what it was.
McLaren: Other than what youre seeing, how does everything else look?
Kel/Voss: Response?
Taylor: Everything else looks normal to me, but.. I am not sure if I can trust what I see.
Sol nodded.
McLaren: I understand, Ensign.
She was working to be a voice of calm for the moment.
Kel/Voss: Response?
McLaren: Ryden... can you scan us... see how this nebula could be affecting us? Physically, I mean. Maybe Lyra can help you?
Kel/Voss: Response?
McLaren: Once we have some idea of how its affecting us... we can fight it.
Kel/Voss: Response?
Sol nodded and then moved over behind Ensign Taylor.
McLaren: Breathe Ensign. What ever... or who ever youre seeing... isn't there.
Taylor: Response?
Sol nodded tapping the display.
McLaren: Ensign... what is the status of... :: Sol glanced at the display. :: Our shields? I see them at full power.
Taylor: Response?
Sol nodded.
McLaren: Does anyone else think this has come on entirely too quickly? Like something doesn't want us here?
Taylor: It looks like a regular nebula, as far as sensors can identify it.
McLaren: I know... but it clearly isn't. :: Sol looked to Ryden. :: Any thoughts, Mr. Kel?
