The bump seemed to be a precursor to a far greater sudden change as the ship’s power began to fluctuate across the ship lights dimmed and brightened so much that it hurt to look at them. Consoles turned off and some exploded as the ship seemingly was taken control of by some forces unknown, the whole scene shifted and changed as the Leviathan started to cross the threshold of the anomaly the ship and the people inside it began to contort and stretch, speech, light and noise seemed to elongate into a low pitch.

Until finally the Leviathan was engulfed into darkness.

As the crew would begin to recover emergency lighting would turn on, anyone near a a port window would see they were no longer where they were, or even there was nothing.

Raauhl had fallen during the shift in environment but internally and externally. The view screen appeared to be blank, to which he thought would be off if it wasn’t for the fact its back light seemed to be emitting a low level light. The holographic display was off as much were most of the consoles. Walking to the back of his chair he opened the small emergency cabinet and took out some wrist torches. “

Trying his comm badge =^=Cmdr Raauhl to engineering?=^=

There was no response.

Everyone grab a torch and report?” Something he noted was not everyone was there. Turning to one of the security officers who had already gotten herself together, “Go down to engineering, see whats happening.” She nodded and left.

Adam had already drawn the type one phaser from his lower back as soon as the lights went out. He grabbed a wrist light and waited for Engineering to reply. As first missions went this was the worst one he’d been on… yet.

CIO

“Sir, internal and external sensors are down. Turbo lifts seem to be operational and so Is life support, replicators, deflectors and minimal shields.” Explained the NE at the engineering consoles, “No weapons either, were adrift in space sir.” She went on to explaining wondering what the hell had just happened.

“This isn’t good, can you bring up the view screen?” Raauhl asked, the NE looked at him confused.

“Sir the view screen is already on and displaying the forward view of the ship” He tapped his consoles, “And now aft sir. Either the Imaging systems are damaged or there are no stars sir.” There was a tone of fear underlying the words he had just said.

This was what Raauhl feared most. “Ok let’s think, we experienced a number of odd telemetry readings from the anomaly, we couldn’t move past it or around it even with engines at max, theories?” He asked looking to those within the CIC.” Right now he couldn’t freak, nor could he allow himself to show any amount of fear, fear was a virus and if it spread it would be difficult to find the solution to the problem they were facing.

• Cmdr Raauhl, XO

Adam didn’t have any theories. He went up to a duty station and checked the readings “Do we have probe launching capabilities?” He asked.

CIO

One of the young science ensigns nodded from across the CIC, “We can launch a probe by pressuring the tube, interia will allow it to travel indefinitely but slowly through space until its safe to activate its own propulsion system.” Explained the young Andorian woman.

• Science NE

Adam nodded “I suggest we prepare two probes, preferably class four. Make sure that we can receive data and clear the launch area as we don’t know what effect the Anomaly could have on direct contact with biological matter” He said to the first officer.

The door to the CIC opened, followed by a tinny voice that sounded suspiciously like the Leviathan’s Chief Engineer. =/\=Engineering to CIC - Can you read?=/\=
Looking over, one would see a surprised-looking ensign holding what appeared to be a speaker, accompanied by a small group of engineering and security personnel burdened by identical devices and bundles of wire.
“Uh, Sirs?” The young ensign offered the speaker out to the group, waiting expectantly for a volunteer to respond.

-Engineering; Communications division

Before he could respond Raauhl was distracted by the internal communications system, though he soon realised it wasn’t the normal type they were used too. “Report Ensign, is our communications working.” The Trill XO noticed the small speaker and the bundles of electrical wire, he guessed quickly that they had built something but allowed the engineer time to answer him.

“Uh, in a matter of speaking, Sir. We’re running a hard-wired system across the ship now; eventually it should all be hooked up. Not as convenient as commbadges, but should be extremely stable. Where uh, would you like this set up, sir?”

“Brilliant work, set it up next to the holographic table you and your team take a moment before head back out you look exhausted.” He turned back to the other pressing matter now that one had been fixed. “Use whatever probes are necessary and get them in space as soon as possible, we may be against an invincible clock” Raauhl gave one more nod before making his way back over to the communications team.

=^=Engineering this is Commander Raauhl, whats the situation?=^= He asked.

• Commander Raauhl, XO

=/\=That’s hard to say, Mr. Raauhl - we’re still trying to establish what exactly happened. For the moment, we are running on emergency power. We may or may not be able to get full power back as-is; our fuel reserves appear to be significantly depleted; and what remains is being drained; though slowly. We’re working on getting an estimate of remaining run-time. Communications are being re-established as we speak. With that, we should be better able to assess our status and ration power as needed. My next priority is to halt any parasitic drain on our fuel reserves; unless you direct me otherwise.=/\=

=^= No great work chief, keep me updated and once you can get your teams down to the mess I’ve heard they’re serving chefs soup of the day since that’s all they had in stock but a crew flies on it stomach, CIC out=^=

Adam looked at the contraption the officers carried with an interested expression, or at least as interested as his stony expression allowed. He turned back to the Science NE “Two type Four probes, if you can’t do it through the system take a security escort and relay my orders for it to be done manually” He ordered

=/\=Engineering to bridge - while tracking our energy drain, Ms. Renshaw found a massive spherical structure in our vicinity. If you connect a PaDD to the comm, I will transmit our findings.=/\=
