<snip>“One would assume,” Faye said as she gazed back at the ship, her brain once again doing it’s complicated treeing of possibilities. It was like if she stared hard enough, she would see something that she hadn’t before.
After a moment, Calloway sat back down and accessed the sensors from the armchair console. She was, at her core, a scientist, and right now she needed more information while they kept an eye on the ship they were towing. Strangely (or perhaps not), Faye had managed to disentangle the fact that it was her husband over there with the away team.

At this point, Shock entered the bridge. He wanted to check in on Jordy to see how he was doing on his first bridge shift. He signalled his arrival to Calloway, subtly nodding to her.

Calloway nodded back to the COS.
What Faye would observe is the position of the phenomenon had been altered. I had rotated a few degrees to completely face the Athena.

“The anomaly has shifted to face us through rotation. There doesn’t seem to anything obvious that would cause that, that we know of.” Faye leaned forward, studying the screen. “Computer, overlay a map of subspace on our current image on the viewscreen.”
~Faye Calloway, CIO
A map of subspace overlaid over real space showed the Shai and Athena in reversed positions.
-GM
“Let’s get more scans of the ship! I want status on their engines and weapons.” ordered Orvos before relaying a message to the away team.
=/\=Athena to Away Team, the ship has changed position to completely face us. Any info to help us figure out why?=/\=
-Captain Orvos Legen, CO
Perhaps I should clarify. The subspace map shows the ships flipped so the Shai is where the Athena is in real space and the Athena is where the Shai is in real space. The anomaly is the only thing that has changed its direction without any apparent cause.
-GM
“What would cause us to transpose positions?” Faye said, musing aloud and frowning. She suspected that this was going to be a day for a lot of frowning.
~Faye Calloway, CIO
The comms activated and the voice of the Ops Chief came through. =/\= Ops to Athena. Sir, it appears the ship is in some kind of time-flux. We have established communications with what we believe is the crew, but in a different 0hase of time. We are modifying their ship logs and flagging them for review, and they respond by utilizing the vocabulary available within the logs. I mean, it could be an artificial intelligence of some kind, but we did see some kind of… apparition… for a moment. It all seems to track. As far as the ship changing position? We aren’t seeing that here. =/\=
Hammor, Ops
=/\=Kingston to Bridge. I’m apparently standing the counsellor’s office on the USS Shai having a very interesting covnersation with my counterpart. You should know that their current year is 2761.=/\=
~Janna Kingston, CNS
Orvos’s ears perked at the sound of the counselor chiming in. He wasn’t expecting it, but the information was helpful. The sound of her voice was also somewhat calming, despite her involvement in some sort of temporal event.
Calloway nodded with appreciation of the sheer outlandishness of the situation. “Computer, what is the location of Lieutenant Kingston?”
~Faye Calloway, CIO
=Lieutenant Kingston is in the counseling office.= the computer replied.
-GM
Shock observed the interaction with interest, ready to act if necessary.
“Curious,” he said. “Perhaps we should ensure she’s not alone now. She may need security.”
– Lt Shock (COS)
“That may be wise Mr. Shock. Let’s make sure she and the rest of counseling staff are safe.” replied Orvos.
Chronitons and temporal issues weren’t necessarily Orvos’s forte, despite having been through the Nexus more than once. It was enough to make him feel sick to his stomach. Orvos sighed as focused on the issue at hand.
The ships appeared to be caught in some sort of temporal ripple. Ripple…Orvos had forgotten it was a ripple they had detected. “Computer, let’s bring up the movement of the chronitons in relation to sub-space. Compare the image to the effect of a ripple in water.”
Orvos looked briefly to Faye. “If I’m truly on to something, we may need to figure out why this anomaly is causing this ripple, and why it’s turned towards us now. Tractor beams create a sub-space or graviton interference pattern in order to move objects. I’m also curious if our use of the tractor beam effected the ripple or anomaly somehow.”
Lt. Meadows overheard what the captain was saying and decided to check what the anomaly was like both before and after they activated the tractor beam.
