Fayth nodded, leaving the repair work to the science, security, and engineering crews in the bay. She really wanted to get to work on that, but captain’s orders. She followed Andone and Rainns out. She was relieved it hadn’t been anyone malicious, but the possibilities were both dangerous and promising, for the time being. She was also relieved it hadn’t been an issue with her…condition. She entered the turbolift, “Bridge.”

=^=Fayth to Weir and Asam. Report to the shuttle bay for a field trip.=^=
Fayth and Genard appeared awhile later. She got an update on the repairs and then headed over to the modified shuttle and spoke to the pilot. After a moment he stepped in and began his preflight sequence.

Caelian’s voice came over the comm after a moment. =^=Weir to Fayth. I’m on my way.=^=
Several moments later, the engineer trotted through the entrance, toolkit in-hand. He gave an embarrassed grin as he approached the group. “Sorry for the delay. Got a little turned around. Where are we headed?”
—Caelian Weir, Engineer—Fayth turned to Weir, “En Weir? It’s nice to finally put a face with the name. As soon as Asam and Genard get here we’re heading out in the Fulcrum science runabout. We’re going to test that new engine you and Genard designed. Then we’re going back to the nebula. Those energy pockets Riley told you about, we’re going to try and get one in a box and see if we can use it.” The pilot stepped out, “Ready to go Lt, whenever you all are on board.” Fayth considered paging Asam and Genard again, but it hadn’t been that long, she was just eager to get started.
Lt jg Fayth, CSOCaelian blinked. An engine test? But we’ve already finished modifying the ship, he thought wryly. After a moment of additional thought, he nodded. A test flight would have been a more prudent move given the circumstances. The Ark Angel could afford to lose and replace a shuttlecraft if something were to go wrong. If nothing else it would give him an idea of how the larger vessel would perform, allow him to make any necessary adjustments.
A smile crept onto his face when she mentioned the energy pockets. “I’ve been going over the readings from the initial encounter with it. It’s got interesting—and very promising—properties. I’m very curious to see how the energy is generated, or what holds it into pockets instead of allowing it to disperse. I’ve got a few experiments I’d like to run myself, assuming we can analyze or harness enough to go around.”
“Since we’re waiting,” he murmured, turning his attention to the shuttlecraft, “I’d like to familiarize myself with the modifications, learn where everything’s located.”
—Caelian Weir, Engineer—
“Of course, by all means. Genard has been injured and won’t be joining us. I’ve checked his conversion process and it checks out, but you and he are the experts.”
After everyone had arrived Sharah stepped on board the Fulcrum and closed the hatch. She stepped up to the cockpit feeling very strange to be in charge of this outing. She took a deep breath and pushed her nervousness out. There was enough noise and waves without her adding to it. And the ship was becoming distracting with everything else. And if they were going back to the nebula she was going to have to be very careful. Getting a nod from their pilot that the preflight sequences were done and they were ready to go, she pressed the ship’s communication console. =^= Fulcrum to Ark Angel. This is Lt Fayth. Requesting permission to disembark.=^=
