IC: “We have seconds left before That hits us” Nash indicated the image on screen. “It’s huge, we can’t outrun it and we can’t go to warp. Power is being drained as fast as we can put it into the systems.”
Lt Cmdr Nash, CTO
“I am working to compensate that, if we can get dampening fields up in the areas being drained it may slow it down, the issue is we need energy to get those fields up… kind of a catch 22.” shouted Jacen.

OOC: Fixing split
One of the turbolift doors began to inch its way open, and through the slight crack, one could see fingertips gripping onto the deck, and slightly above that a tuft of tousled brown hair.
“A little help here please!!!” Came the strained voice of the CSO over the din.
Waving his hand in the lifts direction, the Relief Bridge Officer who had been at tactical before Nash got there ran to the door and, gripped the sides and helped the CSO to open the doors.
-Tyler Michael Wells, CSO
“Thanks,” Tyler grunted, climbing his way out of the turbolift shaft. It had stopped a little way below the door, and he’d had to climb up the rest of the way. The front of his uniform was soiled and dirty, and there were cuts and scrapes along his hands.
Standing, SEAI approached the helmsman, “I have heard the saying, when life gives you lemons, burn life’s house down with said lemons. I don’t know why humans use that as a saying for thinking outside of the box, but nonetheless I believe that we should start exploring other options. Is there any way we can survive being hit by that thing? Barring that, do we have anything we can use as a temporary push?”
Lt. SEAI (CNS)
If the shields were at full strength and if the inside of the anomaly was not as dangerous as the outside there was a 20% chance they could transition into the effect. Of course that doesn’t mean they would have enough power to make it back out.
The micro burst transmission came again from within the anomaly, but instead of stopping the moment it was complete, it started repeating as if to try to force the Atlantis to listen.
GM
Nash looked at his console and the incoming transmission, flicking it onto speakers as he did so without waiting for the Captains orders. There wasn’t time. “We have a repeating signal from within the anomaly” he told them, “I’m going to put it through the universal translator and see if it recognizes anything.”
“Can we dump all remaining power into shields at the last moment, try to let the wave pass us and hope a gravity shear doesn’t tear us apart?” He said to Drayke, “we aren’t escaping this.”
Lt Cmdr Nash, CTO
There was a good chance that plan would work. The computer projected a 29% chance that the ship would have only moderate structural and a few dozen casualties - of course the other 71% would be a that the ship and crew would be total loss.
Into the din and chaos Ryley’s voice yelled over the comm, =^=Sickbay to bridge. If you guys are trying to dammed well pull us apart and injure half the crew you’re going about it the right way! What the hell is happening!?=^=
Tyler made his way over to the main science station, looking at the strange readings that were coming in. Not that there was much that he could do about their present situation.
The communication was gibberish until the translator figured out that the communication was at 10 times normal speed. =^=Cut power and inverse the polarity of your shields… Damn fools why aren’t you listening. .... it’s too late now… =^= Out of the anomaly came a bluish green beam that reached out towards the Atlantis. =^=I guess you’re coming with me.=^=

MD“I have a bad feeling about this.” Jacen said, the message just coming in made him wonder what next.
“What the hell?” Tyler muttered aloud, to no one in particular. It looked like there would be more questions before they found answers.
-Tyler Michael Wells, CSO
As another shudder rocked the ship, the bridge consoles dimmed slightly before snapping back to full functionality.
=^= Bridge - Electrical fire! Decks 7 & 8, DC teams dispatched, emergency force fields in place, fire suppression systems activated. =^=
Ensign Keene - Engineering
Since Jacen was on the bridge already, Relann took a couple extra minutes to Sowyn and make sure she was safe before she attempted to make her way to the bridge. By then though, things had clearly shifted dramatically. Getting an update from a panel (as much as she could), Relann at least understood a little of their situation. =/\=Fell to Bridge. I’m trying to make my way up there, but encountering difficulties. Going to head for Engineering instead.=/\= She figured if it was that much of a problem, then she’d aim for one of their other main centres. At least then she’d be somewhere where she could gather info and lend the support she needed. She had no doubt Kelly had plenty of people up there at this point, unless of course everyone else had gotten stuck too. If that was the case, well, this night was going to get even more interesting.

The blue green beam looped around the ship a moment before the wave would have overtaken them and suddenly the ship was relatively silent. The beam was some sort of combination tractor beam/shield that held the Atlantis firmly in its grasp as it transitioned through the surface of the gravitation ellipse. Once the vessel was within the quiet confines of the anomaly the sensors came back on and a small, somewhere around the size of a four - eight person luxury cruiser hovered a few meters before them, a tiny bird fluttering before a gazelle.
