“Ehh, just a moment there, Lt,” Wendell said. “Let me at it. A probe like this should be in a museum. You know, some of Earth’s original probes had these ‘Golden Records’ in them. They had a wealth of information about Earth.”

Karina waited for Sinclair and Vaughn to report on their scans of the interior. A record of a planets history and knowledge? Such a find was invaluable, if that’s what it was. And made her request to Jenzen all the more important. If they couldn’t translate the language all that information would be for naught.

While the sphere itself and the language of the message it contained were unfamiliar and not on record, Sinclair’s reading did show something familiar and of interest: the substance inside the sphere contained a morphogenic matrix.

But before anyone could do anything further, the substance shifted again and shot upwards, seemingly of it’s own volition. Before their eyes it turned to steam and flowed through the forcefield, unperturbed by the attempt at containment. Upwards it rose to the shuttlebay ceiling, floating along until it found a ventilation vent and slipped through, disappearing from view.

Karina watched the thing move and go into the air ducts. “Computer lock down air supply system, initiate biological forcefields to prevent contaminants moving through environmental controls. Initiate environmental Containment protocols.”

=^=Enger to Zoarhi. Something came out of that sphere and is now in the duct work of the ship. I have initiated environmental contaminant protocols.=^= She turned to the other officers, “I want to know what that thing was and how we’re going to get it contained.” She turned to look at Sinclair, “Did you get any readings on it before it disappeared?”

Danora had been caught in a near rapture as the figure played. When the computer didn’t readily translate, she had moved to the console by the wall. As she typed, she spoke to the AI. “Maize… see if you can extrapolate from near similar dialogue and known cadences. Think of it like a Vulcan speaking. Lack of emotion and timber being an affect of the species, not the recording.” She knew it was a long shot, but maybe as the recording stopped and began again, she could work on making heads or tails of at least some of the speech that was being given.

As the gasp of surprise went up from the release of the creature from the sphere, she looked up in time to see it enter the vent. =^=Maize! Isolate the ventilation system. Find unknown object or chemical signature and see if you can contain it for transporter lock and beaming it to a containment field appropriate to its chemical makeup!=^= She was also using the console to try and track the entity as it moved, if Maize could locate it.

Seeing Danora working on the message she walked over to see what she had. She’d assigned Cmdr Janzen to work on that and she was glad to see someone else contributing. “When you have something share it Janzen. Two heads are better than one.”

BJ was not a linguist. He did speak a couple languages but this language was beyond him at this point. “Could it be an encryption of some sort. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t register with our database. Both the Angel and Voyager didn’t truly encounter everyone.”

Mark looked back from the disappearing substance to his tricorder. He was an engineer first and foremost, but he did recall some of his important training about the war with the Dominion. “Commander,” Mark said to the XO. “If I’m interpreting these scans correctly, this may be a Changeling or something like it. According to my tricorder, it has a morphogenic matrix. I believe we have a potentially hostile and intruder aboard and should move to red alert.”

“Although we should still have been able to trap it with a force field…,” Mark started saying to himself.

-Lt. (j.g.) Mark Sinclair, CE

“Red Alert” she called out and the panels began to flash red and the alarm to sound.

=^=Enger to Security, possible intruder onboard. It is unclear if it is hostile or not.=^= =^=Enger to Captain. Whatever it is that got into our duct work appears to be morphogenic. It could look like anything. Lt Sinclair, and I agree, suggested it might be a changeling, and potentially hostile. I have taken the ship to Red alert until the entity is contained. Security has been alerted.=^= “Alright we need to know what information is coming from that message and any data stored in that sphere. The time for caution is gone, work in a forcefield if necessary but get answers.” There was a strange creature loose on the ship and she wanted it caught.
