The Helm frowned for the second time and made an adjustment of their orbital course. Then he scratched an eyebrow as he peered at the console. Perplexed he turned to the officer of the day. “Ma’am. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve had to adjust orbit twice now. Just small adjustments but I don’t know why. I’ve got no gravimetric readings or anything but orbit was showing a minute decay each time there.”

The Denobulan lieutenant stood up to peer over to the console. “Energy readings?”
“None,” he said.
“Power compensation?”
“I’ve increased impulse power to compensate. Only 2%.”
“2% more than should be needed. It’s almost time for changeover. I’ll let the XO know.”

=^= Bridge to Commander Creed. Vari here. We are experiencing an odd situation. Helm has had to adjust orbit twice and nominally increase power to maintain it. We are trying to discern the source but since it is almost changeover I wanted to give you a heads up. =^=

Pretha came on to the bridge just as the Officer was mentioning the orbit adjustment. Nodding to not interrupt, she moved to the security station and relieved the NE Lieutenant JG there. Since helm was likely already checking all energy and possibly gravity issues, she turned her search inward. She started thinking checks to see if any other console or computer on the ship was accessing the navigational control, thrusters or some other system to steer them towards the planet. She even checked to see if systems were being turned off to cause the sway towards the planet below.

Vari smiled as Pretha crossed the bridge. “Good morning, Lieutenant,” she said in greeting. “I trust you overheard. That is our only variance here overnight.”

There were no system ‘breaches’ or system operational commands being executed in other areas of the ship - bar one which was a Pretha would note as a training simulation exercise among engineers. This however, as Pretha would note, was more internal system related than external even though it had elements of thrusters and power to navigational controls. It was also not connected to the main ship intra-systems.

=/\=Calloway to Bridge. Just waiting on the others but I’m ready to head down.=/\= She probably could have just beamed down with whomever was going to join her, but given the hub bub last night she figured she’d play it by the book and announce their departure.

~Faye Calloway, Data Specialist (cross posting from next day thread)

Vari, not yet relieved, replied. =^= Feel free to launch when ready. Your away team is still on schedule. Good hunting. =^=

Pretha smiled. “Thank you, Vari. I’ll see what the Captain wants to do about the variance when he gets here. For now, let’s just make sure the Away Team is good to go and that we aren’t gonna crash and burn before the CO get’s his coffee.” She laughed and nodded to the woman.

Vari sent Pretha a wide Denobulan smile. “Coffee. The most important meal of the day.”

Pretha laughed. “And chocolate before bed, of course.” She smiled and went back to getting reports ready to send out and reading the ones she had received.

OOC: Now that I’m back …

Vari smiled widely. “That is a given!” Her laugh was genuine as was it’s sudden cut off and puzzled look. “Hello,” she said. “Where did you come from little one?”

The night shift helm stood up at the same time. “I swear she was not there a second ago. I was looking right at the spot.”

What Pretha would see would be a young Gravenian girl, in earth years perhaps about 10, slim and gangly with deep purple hair straight past her shoulders and bangs tickling at her eyebrows, eyes wide with light violet irises. She would appear to be entirely benign if not for the crackling lightning about her fingers ..

One moment they were laughing about chocolate, the next there was an intruder on board. “Hey, there.” Pretha’s voice was kind as she smiled and moved herself between the Commanding Officer and the child. “What’s your name?” She glanced over her shoulder to the officer, “Silent alarm, intruder alert, and I think it’s time the Captain was wakened if not already coming.”

The girl did focus on Pretha ..

Glancing back at the girl, she moved to slightly crouch and put herself on level with the beautiful eyes. “What are you searching for?” She knew better than to reach out. But she was going to try her damnedest to see to it the little one stayed focused on her.

“I am called Dia. I have a message,” the girl said. “Where is the One with the Sight? We speak with that one.”

Behind, Vari could be heard to act and speak quietly. =^= Bridge to Captain. Intruder alert. We have a young Gravenian girl who has just appeared. =^=
- Vari

The Captains voice came though immediately. =/\= Bridge, Cochrane. Where is she, and are you able to communicate with her? =/\=

Cochrane, CO
