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 âNothing happened. Again.â This was proving the most challenging part of her shift.... until....âYellow Alert, all hands man your stations, and report readiness.â She called, hoping down from her perch and moving across the room towards her station.
âSomeone wake up the Chief and tell him we have a potential situation hereâ She called, as her eyes danced over the board, checking status reports.
=^=âEngineering to Bridge, Engineering manned and ready. â=^=
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 =/\= Thatâs 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.

CTOSam nodded to herself and her fingers raced over the controls, adjusting the shields to best withstand the pounding they were taking from the âwhateverâ that had dropped in unannounced.
Satisfied, she switched to the sensor suiteâŠ
=^=âJeez this thing is pumping out the rads!â=^= 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, Iâm 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. =/\=
Lt Cmdr Nash
CTOOOC: Weâll assume the previous info in the main bridge thread has been heard here as well, open comm line.
IC: =/\= Engineering, we need more power! Give everything we got to the warp engines. Helm get us out of here, Warp 1. Move to Red Alert. =/\= came the voice, it didnât sound panicked or alarmed, just urgent.
That same voice then seemed to speak to someone else on the Brdige =/\=Can you help get these sensors back on track? Get a message out to other ships in the area?=/\=

Keene gripped the stanchion next to her station as another shudder rocked the ship, riding the heaving deck subconsciously as she responded to the instructions from the bridge, feeding all available discretionary power to the warp engines.
Sam scanned the status board as telltales started to light up, feeling the vibrations from the deck through the soles of her feet as she weighed the stresses and strain being placed on the hull by the encroaching anomaly.
âKeene to Bridge, recommend we divert reserve power from the phaser banks to the structural integrity field or this thing is gonna rip us open like a birthday pinata!â
Ensign Keene - Engineering
=/\= Engineering, this is Nash. Get on with it then, take everything you need, including power from the Captains coffee machine. =/\=
While most would have made the last part of that sentence in jest, Nash had delivered it in a tone of complete and utter sincerity, Keene couldnât see it, but not a muscle on his face had twitched as he said it.
