Sam was in her usual spot during the slow hours of the Omega shift, balanced on the safety railing around the warp core, attempting to write her watch report for the chief using slightly more professional language than ‘Nothing happened. Again.’ This was proving the most challenging part of her shift.... until....

“Yellow Alert, all hands man your stations, and report readiness.” She called, hoping down from her perch and moving across the room towards her station.

“Someone wake up the Chief and tell him we have a potential situation here” She called, as her eyes danced over the board, checking status reports.

=^=”Engineering to Bridge, Engineering manned and ready. “=^=

She glanced towards the doors, hoping to see the reassuring figure of the Chief Engineer arriving, before turning her attention to the board infront of her, attempting to figure out what had made her watch suddenly a whole lot more exciting.....

Over the comm, Keene would hear a voice come through. It was rough and low.

=/\= Helm, move us away from the anomaly, half impulse =/\= it said =/\= That’s a heck of a lot of radiation hitting us, Engineering try and adjust the shield harmonics to see if we can find a range that reduces radiation penetration. Do we have a read on what type of radiation we are getting? =/\=

The comm line was open, meaning that Keene would be able to hear the conversation on the Bridge.

Sam nodded to herself and her fingers raced over the controls, adjusting the shields to best withstand the pounding they were taking from the ‘whatever’ that had dropped in unannounced.

Satisfied, she switched to the sensor suite…

=^=”Jeez this thing is pumping out the rads!”=^= she muttered out loud, forgetting that she was on an open channel to the bridge in her excitement. She adjusted sensors as best as she was able, attempting to filter out as much of the static that seemed to be affecting them as possible and get a clear reading.

=^=Uh, Bridge, this thing is doing a serious number on our sensor grid, I’m attempting to compensate. =^= She gritted her teeth and resumed her battle with the sensor suite.

That same low voice came back. Rough, almost gravelly as it spoke obviously to the Bridge as well as her. =/\= Is the Captain on her way? =/\= The voice asked someone on the Bridge, =/\= Keep clearing up those sensors Engineering, we need to know what we have. =/\=
