“Simulations are over 80% success rate.” He looked at the XO. “Better than what we have going now.” At this rate anything would be better than waiting it out. He nodded at the Commander. “I have the program set, if you give the word.”

Graham CSO

“Proceed Lieutenant.” Threwn stated simply, getting up to get a better look at operations. “Lieutenant Gavain, any luck with those signals?”

-XO

“Got-cha, sir.” Graham tapped a few more keys. Once the program was written, running it was easy.

The CSO’s idea about changing the angle of the shields to simulate the prow of a ship so they could ‘ride the waves’ seemed to have a dramatic effect as the shaking and buffeting of the ship decreased markedly. As to the signals, they still pulsated strongly ahead.

GM Nosferatu

DaVinci turned his head and nodded in Graham’s direction. “Good call, Lt.”

“That’s why you pay me the medium bucks.”

He moved to the tactical station on the bridge, looking for any signs that there might be other ships within the nebula, whether they be friendly or hostile.

Unfortunately, despite the tweaking of the sensors, being able to see another ship in this soup would be difficult until it was well within weapons range. On the plus side, hopefully any other ship would have the same trouble.

‘Nice work people.” Dante said and kept his eyes on the screen showing the space in front of them. “Lets keep alert and keep the scanners going. The Klingons and Cardassians have far more experience in this Nebula than we do, lets not trust that they won’t jump to any conclusions should we pass by just out of identification range.”

He glanced over at Threwn before addressing his officers. “What is the status of the radiation, and how long to go till we reach the first signal?”

Captain Knight, CO

Vadoma kept her fingers flying over her console. She was checking the radiation levels as well as how they were affecting the ship’s engines. While they were being less buffetted, physically, the readings she was about to receive would let her know if it was any better than shaking apart.

The typical radiation, such as EM, UV, infrared, and gamma, were definitely rising the closer to the signals they came. The most concerning of these was of course the Gamma radiation which damaged living tissue. The percentage increase of the Gamma radiation was concerning but there ways they could deal with that. What was unusual was an unknown radiation that registered on their sensors which was not on the list of known radiations.

GM Nosferatu

“Might want to get medical to start radiation inoculations, Sir.” Graham said as he looked at the readings… “We have many radiation types hitting the ship… K and L bands with EM, gamma…” Graham hummed to himself. “Hulk Smash.... Sir we have an energy reading… its a radiation type that I haven’t seen before.” He put it in a box on the main screen. “Its a wave pattern…” He shrugged. “I don’t know, I’ll try to back track a scan to it source.” Maybe finding out what caused it will inform him of what it was.

Graham

The unknown radiation signal was coming from the same area of the unknown signals and closer scans showed a Class 4 Pulsar which was not alone but was being orbited by a dichromic nebula. It appeared that the orbiting of the duo was what was causing the high radiation readings which were radiating from in a outward spiral effect.

GM Nosferatu

“They are all coming from a Pulsar,” Teller nodded off slightly to starboard as if that was going to explain the course. “There’s an atypical nebula affecting the radiation causing spiked effects. You know I just dealt with a weird conduct issue in science not fifteen minutes ago. This radiation could be affecting the mood centers of the brain.” Teller hit a few buttons.

“I’d like to try setting up an inverse wave in the shields to target the unknown radiation. It would be a stop gap at best.”

Graham. CSO

Adam turned to look at the Captain, looking for his decision on the subject.

-XO

Graham would know that changing the shields to an inverse wave would change it from the ‘prow’ configuration he now had them in, putting them at risk of the gravimetric sheer.

GM Nosferatu

“Well, we have an rock and hard place issue.” Graham commented. The only upside it was over his pay grade. “I think we are having emotional issues related to the unidentified radiation so as the exposure increases I think it is only likely the behaviors will increase. Unfortunately my shield adjustment to block the radiation take it out of the prow formation exposing us to the physical impact of the sheer waves… so … orders.”

Graham. CSO

Izzy’s fingers danced over the helm controls, making continuous micro adjustments to the ships’ attitude to help ‘ride the wave’ and keep her as steady as possible. It felt like the time she had tried out the surfing program on the holodeck with that cute Aussie ensign, only this time the wave was continuously shifting in three dimensions and her surfboard was roughly 500 metres long.

“Blah blah science, blah blah I’m so clever” she muttered under her breath, annoyed that the geeks seemed intent on destroying her concentration with their chatter. Didn’t they realise she had more important stuff to do than listen to their gabble, like fly the damn ship??

Izzy Gonzales - Helm Officer

From where he sat, DaVinci turned to look at the helm officer and noted her comment was definitely out of character. That, with Graham’s mention of behaviors increasing caused the CIO to send an all call throughout the ship.
