((Bridge, Deck 3, USS Ronin))
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.
Delphina watched as Morgan tapped her badge, before turning her attention back to the probes. It seemed a shame to lose all three of them, even if the actual status of the third one was still up in the air. Perhaps she could find a way to repair these two that had returned. The only alternative was getting rid of them, but that seemed like such a waste. oO Poor things. Oo
Morgan: =/\= Lieutenant Morgan to the bridge =/\=
Bridge: =/\= Response =/\=
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. =/\=
Bridge: =/\= Response =/\=
Morgan: =/\= Well, if I’m reading it right, I’d get us five klicks to starboard, and we’ll see if that helps. =/\=
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: Response
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
Bridge: =/\= Response =/\=
Dohna: Response
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?
Morgan/Dohna: Response
Delphina helped set up the probes, kneeling on the ground as she entered the instructions from her PADD, before eyeing it up and down. ST-003…. oO Steven 3…. Well, great, now I really hope we don’t lose this one, because I’ve gone and gotten attached to it. Oo
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.
Morgan/Dohna: Response
Delphina nodded, turning to the corroded probes again, before trying to take another scan on her tricorder. For a few moments, there was nothing, before the conflicting readings returned, showing nothing but a confusing jumble of data and inconsistent emissions. oO None of this feels right. Why are the tricorders having so much trouble picking up on these? Oo
Wren: So….. I have noticed something, and it’s a bit of a reach, but I wanted to notate it as a possibility?
Morgan/Dohna: Response
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.
