((Deck 10, Torpedo and Probe bays, USS Ronin))
T'Alia was trying to bring Lt. Morgan up to speed on the situation, both the one with the ships power system and the strange features of the probes which had returned to the Ronin. It was clear the probes had experienced some sort of time dilation. Both probes were aged well beyond what they should have been. As T'Alia scanned the data coming in off the probes computer system. She realized that she'd found the reason for the warp core issues.
Dohna: There is more. The probe seems to have encountered some kind of subspace anomaly. You can see these ribbon like structures here.
T'Alia pointed to the screen where the probe seemed to be detecting several twisting ribbons which were detectable across several EM wavelengths.
Wren: oO None of these ribbons look exactly the same, but .. it almost looks as though they might fit together. Oo
Morgan: Well, between this and a chroniton eddy that’s out there, there is definitely something hinky going on, and I for one want to put that to a stop.
Dohna: It could explain the problems with the warp core.
Wren: ::stepping back:...... It looks like someone took a hammer to a pane of glass…..
T'Alia turned her head to once side. Ribbons, cracks? It was hard to say what they were seeing, particularly given the data could have been corrupted due to the age of the probes upon their return.
Morgan: Is that a good representation of how they actually are? Is there a pattern, or maybe a lack of, is causing the things on the Ronin to go on the fritz. We’ve had EPS conduits overload, turbolift issues, the lack of being able to form a warp bubble as well.
Dohna: ::nodding to Morgan:: The warp bubble problem is the most concerning. All I can say is that this is who the computer has chosen to represent the data the probe collected. I'm no scientist so I'm not sure I could make a better guess.
Wren: If the scattering of the ribbons is accurate, then the Ronin is currently in the outer border here ::gesturing to the second-closest ripple::. They're either touching the ship, or passing through the hull.
T'Alia listed, but suddenly noted that Ensign Wren's demeanor had changed. She looked very off T'Alia gave her a quizzical look.
Wren: ::too quickly:: I'm fine. Just a little dizzy.
Morgan: I’ve had a headache since I walked in here, and it’s not getting any better. But we’re going to have to power through it or move.
Dohna: Perhaps a trip to sickbay is in order? I've heard we have an interesting new medical colleague.
Morgan had hurried to fetch the medical pack and so T'Alia began to once again query the probe data. She silently said a prayer to the Prophets that they might help provide insight into the mystery.
Wren: I think it might be a good idea if we tell the bridge we need to move back. We don't know if the anomaly is affecting us, but it couldn't hurt to pull out of it before it potentially starts causing problems.
Rachel nodded and tapped her combadge, opening a channel.
Morgan: =/\= Lieutenant Morgan to the bridge =/\=
Kel: =/\= Kel here Lt. Morgan. Do you have something interesting? It would be a good time for it. =/\=
Morgan: =/\= We’re sending the data now, but we need to get some distance between us and the anomaly. It's wreaking havoc on systems and people's personal belongings; it’s most likely why the warp core was acting up, and we can’t form a warp bubble at the moment. =/\=
Kel: =/\= Is there a more optimal position for the ship? =/\=
Morgan: =/\= Well, if I’m reading it right, I’d get us five klicks to starboard, and we’ll see if that helps. =/\=
T'Alia found herself wondering how their blue, acting captain was holding up. They were a ways out to get support from Starfleet. That mean that they had to ad lib the best they could. She had not known many science officers who excelled at "off the cuff" situations.
Wren: ::Looking at the screen overlay again:: I wonder if we should also run a scan on the outer hull? If we’re this close to the eddy, the ship might be experiencing the same level of degradation.
Dohna: An excellent idea Ensign Wren. I'll ask the computer to assess the forward hull.
Morgan: =/\= Oh, one last thing, permission to fire another prob at the eddy? We notice a time jump on the other probe, as the internal sensors and clocks were off by a significant amount, hence why we think we should back off until we get a wrangle on things.. =/\=s
Kel: =/\= Granted. Mr Kessler ::pointing at Jack:: will send you what we have. Use a Class IV probe so the subprobes can feed data back to us if the main probe is lost. =/\=
Dohna: ::turning to Wren:: Forward shields are being held at maximum strengh. At this time the hull is intact.
Morgan: =/\= Right, we’ll get on it. Morgan out.. =/\= ::turning to Wren and Dohna:: You heard the man, let's get a couple probes up and running and find out what level of crap we’re in.
Wren: oO At this rate, we’re going to run out of probes. The best thing we could do to gather data in real-time is send out a shuttle, but that could be adding unnecessary risk. Oo Is there any way we could try to connect the probes together in a chain? If we can do that, it might be possible to maintain that connection if one of them disappears again, and we might be able to see where it went?
Dohna: The class four probes have small subprobes available. If we program them to deploy at intervals we may achieve that exact goal.
Morgan: Response
The needed probes were loaded into the launch tubes by automated arms. T'Alai had always found such systems interesting. They were very efficient and able to get the complicated probes into position with little to no damage.
Wren: Probes are up and ready to go. I’ve got them daisy-chained together, so if anything happens, we’ll more or less know what it is. ::standing back up, and beaming them out:: oOBye, Steven… Oo Readings should start any minute. In the meantime, if it’s alright, I’m going to take another look at the probes we have here. Maybe we can figure out a way to repair them, or at least see if we can scan them yet.
A moment later the probes were gone and T'Alia hurried to begin monitoring the data.
Dohna: Probes are approaching the anomaly. Several sub-probes have been jettisoned. I'm happy to keep an eye on the readings.
Morgan: Response
Morgan and Wren turned to the returned the probes which still looked to T'Alia like art sculptures that had been out in the open for a half century.
Wren: So….. I have noticed something, and it’s a bit of a reach, but I wanted to notate it as a possibility?
Morgan: Response
Dohna: Don't worry Ensign. Neither Lt. Morgan nor myself bite.
Wren: ::uncertain:: The presence of chronitons in this area, coupled with the shape of the eddy, and the difficulties we’re having with our tricorders… is it at all possible that we witnessed some sort of temporal fracture? I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know that much about temporal anomalies, but the tricorder readings are so wildly inconsistent, it’s almost as though I’m actually scanning multiple probes at once, all under different conditions.
Dohna: Temporal Anomalies are no one's favorite topic. However, I'm inclined to agree with your assessment.
Morgan: Response
Dohna: The real question is why it is here and how Fleet Captain Niac and Commander Raga came to come through it.
Wren/Morgan: Response
Dohna: There are easier ways to travel through time. Take for example the "wrap around a star approach".
Wren/Morgan: Response
Their theorizing was interrupted.
Kel: =/\= Kel to Ensign Wren. Please meet us un Shuttlebay 1. We're going on a field trip.
Wren/Morgan: Response
T'Alia was disappointed to say the least. A field trip under these conditions was sure to be exciting.
Dohna: ::mischievously:: Balleek Ensign. May the Prophets guide you.
Wren/Morgan: Response
