“Hey Doc you might want to take a look at this,”

Elaine blinked at the PADD containing the latest report from bridge was thrust under her nose. Leaning back a little so she could actually read the blur of information, she glanced at her head nurse and longtime friend NE Lucia. Lucia’s face didn’t give away any useful information as to what the doctor could expect from the PADD in front of her. Resigning herself to the idea that she was going to have to read it, she carefully set aside the test tubes of various colourful liquids and grabbed the PADD from the NE.

“Word around the ship is that they’re finally able to communicate with whoever is on the other side of the barrier,” NE Lucia continued as Elaine immersed herself in reading, “and get this they have to sing it.”

Wondering if that was perhaps all the ships gossip had been wanting her to know, Elaine looked up and raised her eyebrow. “While the thought of the Captain singing to communicate is an entertaining one, I don’t see how it’s really relevant right now.”

“You didn’t let me finish,” Lucia huffed. “The thing is that they were only slightly able to break the communication barrier. According to NE Anderson, the message is only coming through in bits and pieces but one thing was clear he said. They’re asking for help.”

“And you think it’s medical?”

“Anderson didn’t say.”

Elaine nodded, “Thank you Ensign.” she dismissed turning her attention back to the information that she had been presented with on the PADD this time with more of a focus on the science stations scans of the stasis field surrounding the unknown ship.

Lt. Janvier, CMO

The PaDD contained all the details known of the circumstances surrounding the station and unknown ship.

  1. A field of unknown origin and unknown nature has enveloped the station and half to three-quarters of the alien ship.
  2. Life signs within the field at static, non-fluctuating, and oddly no-varying.
  3. The aliens on the vessel are not of any known Federation species, nor are they in any Federation database.
  4. No scans have been done specifically of the field itself, and no one is monitoring life signs at this time.
  5. The aliens appear to communicate through non-verbal music, and the Universal Translator is struggling to make sense.

Elaine frowned her eyes catching on the initial life sign reading. A non-fluctuating life sign was highly uncommon let alone one that had no variation at all. It was almost as if everything tat was in the field were sitting outside time. Scanning the information a second time, just to be sure she had read it correctly. When the result was exactly the same, confirming she had read all the information correctly, and not being a person to let a mystery pass her by too easily she decided that would be the first thing she investigated.

Tapping her comm badge, she opened up a channel to the bridge =^= Janvier to bridge: Can I request a couple of scans? I’d like one of the field and another of the lifesigns in the field and on the alien ship. With the information directed straight through to my console in the Medical Lab. I’d like to take a closer look at how this thing is affecting the station, and the ship. =^=

Dr Janvier, CMO

The reply came almost immediately. =/\= Holloway to Janvier, science is taking care of it and the scans should be there shortly. Let us know if you find anything. Holloway out. =/\=

A few minutes later, the requested scans were being sent to Janvier’s console.

Holloway, CO

The scans showed mostly what the CMO had sent before but in more detail.

It was indeed a kind of stasis field, but not one based on biology. Instead, by comparing the life signs of the effected individuals and the scans of the field itself, it appeared to be more akin to a field that had locked everything in it in a kind of temporal lock… or maybe ‘loop’ would have been a better description. But the loop was so minute as to be almost undetectable. Only a very miniscule diviation in life signs was the key. And judging from that, the ‘loop’ was less than 1/100th of a second.

As Elaine read through the information that science had sent through, it didn’t take her long to notice that her hunch was correct, and that the field was some sort of temporal phenomena. It took longer to work out the logistics of the loop, but after some head scratching, a good cup of Isaacs brew and some help from the computer she managed to find the nearly invisible deviation in the life signs. Which might explain at least in part why it was taking the universal translator longer than normal to translate their language. Chewing her lip in thought while she processed what this all meant for the ship, she tapped her commbadge =^= Lieutenant Janvier, to Captain Halloway; I’ve just looked at the reading and I have reason to believe that the stasis field is some sort of temporal time loop. It’s incredibly small, I nearly missed it. However if I’m right than any communication you have been receiving, could possibly be echos from the loop. =^=

Dr Janvier, CMO
