Aaron grinned at him :”I’ll make sure they don’t !” Inept ? Who do you think we are, some kind of school trip ? As much as he could understand that losing his life work would certainly be upsetting to the point one could eject the first person he encounter out of this station,but the cadets, if not the whole crew, were highly trained personnel and they certainly wouldn’t be in outer space if they weren’t competent.
Still, he’s right. We’re not aboard the ship, those labs aren’t ours. Walking back toward the console, he said : “Tell me, Commander, while you are available, maybe you could help me with a problem of ours. If you have the time, of course.”Lieutenant Aaron Williams - CSO
Doctor Green waved his hand. “Eh, time is relative. There’s always time. What’s your problem?” the scientist said as he moved over to check the readouts on a console.

Opening the window that displayed the unknown matter’s report, he showed the man the molecular structure he was studying : “Well, recently we had a bottle of an unknown origin that broke, and its substance trapped half of a cadet’s body in a pocket dimension.” Opening another window, he showed Morton vitals data on the day of the incident. “And while having his body in a parallel dimension, the cadet’s body was still able to function properly. The boy couldn’t move, but he still could feel his ‘missing’ members, which is incredible on his own.”
Back on the result screen, he continued : “And for now, based on what we know, the reaction was produced by contact with the air nitrogen. And it’s our only clue, the substance was entirely used to create the pocket dimension.” Although the Lieutenant doubted that Green could help him narrow the research any further, it was still good to share his result with a colleague.Lieutenant Aaron Williams - CSO
Greene had studied the information show and had a rather neutral expression on his face, strangely disinterested even as he was clearly taking in everything Williams was showing him. “There are all kinds of kinetically unstable substance that are intrinsically labile and can result in explosions. It sounds like your bottles contained something that reacted to the nitrogen in the air as you said, but whatever it was had to have been unstable on a spatial level. Your Ensign Morton wasn’t cut in half or disappeared. He was phased partial into a different realm. Not unheard of, but his vitals showed that it stressed his body. Probably a combination of the physical stress and also the mental stress. Psychological triggering of physical symptoms and all that. “
“I take it you don’t have any of the substance left?” the researcher asked.
