The computer dutifully replied and it seemed the episode the captain had been watching went a bit like this:
-the show opens with Commander Cruz and Lieutenant Losa engaged in a bit of secretive PDA in a turbolift as they continue an affair they assumed no one knew about. But in reality, Erika’s ex, the Starbase’s Chief of Security Randall Hughson, had found out and was rather jealous. The turbolift doors open and though Ericka and Amor had separated in time, they find themselves gazing at the COS who eyes them and all three know that this will not go well later. Erika and Amor step out and walk nonchalantly down the corridor.
- In Operations, a distress call is detected from a small freighter nearby with a medical emergency. Dr. Cruz, their newest intern, Dr. Kiara Mercer and a security officer head out in a runabout to go to their rescue. But suddenly it seems like the runabout has hit something and the trio finds themselves in a subspace bubble where space isn’t reacting the way they expect it to and they are essentially stuck for the moment.
-back on Starbase Tranquility, Lieutenant Losa is found dead by a brace coil. Evidence initially points to the COS and Hughson is questioned but so far he has an alibi that checks out. The crew continue to investigate.
-In Operations, they also realize they have lost contact with the runabout. They detect tachyon particles and can trace the the edge of some sort of subspace disturbance that sensors can’t pierce. Surmising correctly that the ‘bubble’ in their path is the likely location of the runabout, the crew also work to mount their own rescue mission.
-then proceeds a series of twists and revelations (Dr. Mercer discovers she’s pregnant but she supposed can’t be!). The autopsy of Losa reveals that it was definitely an intentional blow and not an accident, but there seems to be a lack of evidence as to who had committed the crime. Hughson is released after there wasn’t enough evidence to hold him for the crime, though there are hints that he in fact did do it.
-on the runabout, they determine that the only way through is to punch a hole but use the deflector to cut a hole in the barrier to make the passage easier. They weren’t able to make the hole very big, so used high impulse to get through and punch open the barrier, admitting the runabout to regular space. Significant damage was sustained but the three survived and were rescued by another runabout from the base.
-the show closes with Erika finding out about the death of her lover and vowing to destroy to person responsible. A rather cocky Hughson knows he’s so far gotten away wth his crime. For now…
As far as sensor readings, Duvosa would note that there were areas that had less distortions but the subspace bubble still needed to be punctured, though they might be able to get a bit closer. It would, however, increase the risk of suddenly being struck by a gravitational eddy.

“This is supposed to be entertaining?” Duvosa asked, arching one eyebrow. “We could get closer to one of the areas where the distortions are more minimal, but there is still some risk. If Science could figure out a way to penetrate the sub space bubble that could prove beneficial.”

Mark emerged from the turbolift. “Engineering is working on viable options. We don’t have much in the way of options, but… we’re doing what we can.”

NE Watchesthis looked over from her station and raised her eyebrows at Duvosa, “Hey I’ve seen that episode…” she said somewhat defensively. “It is entertaining…well it was.when we weren’t like you know, living in it.”

=^= Engineer M’Nalie to Chief Engineer Pierce. We are all set here sir. She’s as prepared as she can get. But we have to exit at a spot that has already been comprimised. If we can locate where we entered in the first place thats likely our best chance. Projections indicate that if we try to exit at any spot that has the barrior fully intact we will not remain intact on the other side.=^= e Eshenti. Engineer.
Willow appeared on the bridge at that point, “can we locate such a compromised point?” She asked the bridge at large. “Even if not our original entry point something that may give us a chance at breaking through.”

CO“We might be able to track our flight path back to our point of entry.” Mark looked to the helm. “Ensign. Do you have a trajectory and travel record?”
-Lt(j.g.) Mark Pierce, CE
The officer at the helm turned their head and nodded. “Yes, Sir, we do. Might take a bit of navigating time to work around the changing conditions, but it’s possible.”
