“I doubt it was a phrase any of us wanted to hear again. Especially so soon after the last mission.” Liam’s figure entered the bridge.

He had caught the mention of the point of origin and Mirror Dimension. That dimension held no good implications for anyone.

“It appears staying on the ship has proven more interesting than I had hoped for.” He took his place at his console. Without notification or permission, he began to read up on the last scans within the hour. Namely, he wanted to note any abnormal readings and get caught up on the current situation.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

OOC: Anyone would be so kind as to update Liam, and save me the paranoid worry of meta gaming… he and I would appreciate it. :P

The log showed the scans of the energy signature in the shuttle bay that had turned out to be a lifeforms - now situated in the sickbay. Most of the crew were on the planet enjoying R&R.

R’han paused… “I remember reading a report of a Gary 7 and the Enterprise. Similar transporting, but the person was dressed.”

R’han

A comm call came in from Sickbay - =^=Captain to the Bridge. We’ve got the patient/intruder partially stabilized. He’s been struggling to survive for a long time. Any updates from your end?=^=

Wallace, CO

=^=I don’t have a lot of information, but science reports the likely point of origin is the Mirror Dimension…=^=

R’han

Liam turned his attention back to the console, focused on finding answers rather than watching the conversation play out. He brought up the information before and after the abnormality happened for comparison. He helped he might spot a warning sign or hint to its cause rather than its origin. Even a warning sign might be more helpful than simply waiting for it to happen again.

“R’han, I believe you mentioned a report of a Gary 7 and Enterprise? Will you please enlighten those of us who are unfamiliar with it and how you believe it might relate to the current situation?” Liam asked the Chief Tactics Officer while he waited for the information.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

The information reiterated that the likely point of origin was the Mirrorverse mainly as the energy pattern was consistent with known parameters for an interverse transporter. However what was more interesting was that the man in sickbay had come through naked meaning he was not carrying any device when he arrived.

“about 150 years ago the First Enterprise, encountered a perfect human being sent to 1960s old Earth Calender, Earth via super powerful transporter system by a race unknown for a purpose stated benign to keep Earth on the right path. It seemed consistent with the initial information, but as data increases this seems more and more unlikely. It should be in the historical records. It is mostly unclassified.”

R;han

Ensign Burgen chuckled from her station. “We had a similar experience not so long ago, remember that strange purple cat that suddenly appeared on the ship?”

Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

IC: “According to all the scans, the energy pattern is consistent with the interverse transporter. The only odd part is the lack of clothing or devices. One possible theory is that he chose to use one without any inorganics on his person. That leaves us with the question of why. That will have to be answered if or when he wakes up.” Liam relayed his information, as small as it was, to the others.

His eyebrow rose at the mention of a purple cat on the bridge, “I don’t think I was a part of that experience.”

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

OOC: If I was, I don’t remember it. XD
OOC That was our introduction to the adult Meryidiyth and it was a homage to Gary Seven :-)

R’han started scanning for chonoton particles. It was an idea he got from a movie that forced people transported to be naked also included time travel.

R’han
OOC Come with me if you want to live :-)

The chronoton particle scan came up negative. Burgen chuckled, “Well, that’s a relief anyway. I’m still trying to hone in on the source of where our visitor came from. As best as computer models can make out he didn’t just cross the barrier point to point from the mirrorverse he also travelled a distance from his origin. So we’re not just dealing with inter dimensional travel here, but long distance inter dimensional travel…”

“It is better to check and be wrong, then not check and be right.” R’han commented. He sat back in the command chair fairly calmly but a little at a loss for what to do.

R’han
OOC Head down to the planet :-)

The shift continued onwards with seemingly nothing else changing as they maintained geosynchronous orbit over the Hotel below. In the last ten minutes however, Burgen frowned and pronounced, “I’m getting some strange energy readings… from down below”.

Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

At R’han’s comment, Liam agreed. “That is one piece of wisdom I agree with.”

He paused when he heard Burgen mention something about strange energy readings from down below. Immediately, he began to access and read the information the man obtained.

“It seems to be coming from the planet itself.” He turned to the remaining crew on the bridge.

“How much do we actually [i]know[/i] about this planet?” It was obvious he wasn’t satisfied with simply sitting and waiting here.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

R’han tilted his head, “Certainly not enough if the description is ‘strange’. I would commence a scientific analysis.” R’han awaited hopefully.

R’han

The energy readings were almost identical to the one that had been recorded when their mysterious guest had arrived on board. Only these ones were harder to pinpoint as the energy had many overlapping signatures each with a slightly different vector.

“I suspected that the answer was little to nothing.” Liam replied then returned to his console, reading the information on the screen. He immediately frowned at the location coming up short.

“Both the planet and the ‘arrivals’ energy readings are almost identical. However, it’s very difficult to pinpoint the planet’s source location due to overlapping signatures. They all have different vectors. I’m going to try to identify the source of as many as I can and hopefully separate them from the mess.”

He didn’t expect this to work well or at all, but it was worth an attempt. Meanwhile, his thoughts turned to the crew currently departed for the planet.

“With these recent and strange occurrences… I believe we should alert the departed crew about odd energy signals. At least the department heads as a precaution. If things escalate, it is better they are aware of the situation than left in the dark.” Liam hoped someone higher than his command might actually see the logic behind his suggestion.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

The energy signatures were recorded as splitting into a series of individual signatures that settled at various points on the planet. One for each major continent and one on each pole.

Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

“Seems to be an exploration type of pattern.” R’han mussed. “Do we have any more data?”

R’han

Liam’s frown continued a bit, still sorting the data in his head. It wasn’t as helpful in his head as he would’ve hoped, but it was something.

“If I understand the data accurately, the energy signatures are splitting into a series of individual signatures settling on various points on the planet. One on each major continent and one on each pole.” He tried to recall what caused that as he relayed the information to R’han.

“Any suggestions on what I should scan for might help. The location is still difficult to find due to the overlaying signatures.”

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

Now that the signatures had settled into individual patterns it was relatively easy to match them as being identical in nature to the one shown in the shuttle bay when their mysterious guest had arrived.

Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

“It also appears both the arrival and the energy signature I’m trying to locate are identical. I’m wondering if it is an after effect of whatever is causing this.” Liam added as he considered his options.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

OOC: Not sure what else Liam can do here, to be honest. Unless I’m missing something obvious?

-Janice B.

“I don’t think the how of the entities are right now.” R’han continued to look at the screen. “I think we should analyze where and what these entities are doing. Where they are doing it? What they are effecting?”

R’han CTO

All further conversation was halted when a sudden energy wave hit the Athena. Blindingly white and intense the bridge crew awoke from the experience to find themselves standing outside the Anchor Hotel on the planet below.
