“Most of you can return to what you were doing but… ” he glanced at the PADD a moment. “… NEnsign Shannon, I have an assignment for you.” He locked eyes with the young man who approached and shook his hand. Pressing a few buttons on his PADD, he swiped the display in the direction of the central table and the holographic projector lit up, showing the space around the Ark Angel. He placed the PADD down and drew a circle in the projection with a finger, and then grabbed the circled area, the display zooming as he pulled it.
“You’re our short range specialist, I understand,” he began. “I want everything you can tell me about that patch of ionizing radiation. What caused it, is it naturally occurring, does it match known ionization patterns, etc. These results,” he lifted the PADD and entered some info. “Will be limited to in-lab access only, by myself, you, and Lieutenant Fayth.” Shannon raised an eyebrow but nodded and returned to his station and began entering commands.

As the Nebula appeared on the screen, and data flowed in, the recording of the visual disturbance played back, and the data from the sensors showed the energy spike that accompanied it–coming from the Montezuma itself, not an external source.

Riley furrowed his brow. Well that’s… peculiar. His fingers flew over the console entering commands, pulling up scans from other sensors to see if there was any type of emission from the Montezuma that accompanied the energy spike. He paused, strumming his fingers as those commands executed, and then added a check for tachyon particles in the area of both the disturbance and the Montezuma.
As he waited for the response from those commands, he rewound the disturbance and energy spike data in the hologram and played it back, then did it again at half speed, and then manually ticked from frame to frame. He hummed in frustration.
=^= Computer, which begins first, the visual disturbance or the energy spike? =^=

=/\=The energy spike begins a millisecond before the visual disturbance.=/\=
There was a faint Tachyon signature emitting from the Montezuma during the beginning of the disturbance.

Riley exhaled slowly through his nose and rubbed a hand down his face. He held his chin for several long moments before reaching for his combadge. His hand hovered there before dropping to his side. I don’t know where she is, and if we want to keep this semi-hidden…
He tapped the console and created a new message to Lieutenant Fayth.

Lieutenant, Scans are still under way. Short-range specialist NEnsign Shannon is assisting. I have found some peculiar results that I would like your permission to get assistance from engineering in deciphering. If you grant it, where would be the best location to meet them, you think? Sincerely, Matthew |
Riley’s eyes swept it, reviewing. He nodded, then tapped the Send button, before he turned and walked over to NEnsign Shannon’s station.
“What have you got on that radiation patch, Shannon?” he asked, peering over the science officer’s shoulder.
