Still cautious, Mike approached the engineer that waved him over. “Do you have something?” He asked as he came closer.

He needed some answers, and soon.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

“Captain? Do you need to go to sickbay? Looks like you hit your head. Either that or you’ve forgotten your chief engineer.”

-Matrix

Mike was glad it was dark, so no one could see him blush for a second. He responded to his old rank. But he decided instantly he won’t let anything confuse him and make him think of other things but his goal - get power back and help Kristy.

“I know i’m the CE, that is why i’ve been asking for status update for the last 5 minutes. Or perhaps you didn’t notice all the darkness. Now if you don’t have anything useful for me, I’ll be checking what’s up myself.”

He did shine his light again, in case he could recognise the person. But if he didn’t his intention was to get to the warp core and start with diagnostics.

Lt. Mike Stone, Ce

Kristi ‘watched’ from her corporeal location and wondered what was happening. She moved around the engineering bay, realization that no one could see her slowly sinking in. She didn’t recognize the man talking to the Chief. Perhaps from another shift? And why did he call ‘Captain’? Was he not capable of telling Mike from the CO in the low light?

Mike was indeed looking at his former Chief. Or so he seemed to be. (OOC: I’ll let you name said person in case there’s anything not in the bio.) “Well. I think the lights are out due to a lack of power.” The engineer offered. “Do we know what actually caused the initial knockout? It might be an external event causing an internal mechanical fault. If so; what’s the event?”

As Kristi watched she was confronted by a ghostly figure, almost shapeless, save that it was humanoid. Welcome Kristiana O’Larria. Welcome to the place beyond places.

-Matrix

Kristi would have been surprised if things weren’t already so crazy. “A place beyond places? Am I dead?” She was suddenly more scared than confused. She couldn’t be dead. It hadn’t been that bad of a bump and Mike… she glanced at him and shook her head before looking back at the ghost. “I don’t want to die…” The words were soft, almost pleading.

“Lieutenant Akirel Ros....” Stone said as he recognised the man in front of him.
“It seems indeed we have a situation at hand, namely you have been missing for over a year. Care to explain how you ended up back here?” Mike was even more alert now.

It was almost impossible this was the same man. When he disappeared, he wasn’t alone. Four people were sucked into an unknown portal that just appeared on Viking. And some indeed returned after more then a year. Kara, the former CO. And Kalika Darz the security officer. But both returned as wrecks and barely alive. And Ros was just standing there, like nothing happened. No tare in his uniform or even a speck of dust could be seen.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

“To be honest sir, I have no idea what happened. That portal appeared and sucked me in. The time I was gone… it’s blurry. But I just kind of reappeared.”

You are in but not of this place Kristiana O’Larria. Not yet. There are those who wander this realm by force and those who do it by choice. On rare occasions,an accident removes a soul without destroying the body.

-Matrix

It felt so unusual to be called Sir by someone who used to be his superior, and held the same rank. Ros’s explanation was much to vogue for his liking but.... what was he going to do. He kept his suspicion from showing too much, but he wasn’t going to let his eyes off of him.

“Well I hope your engineering skills are still there. I could use some help figuring out what happened and get things back on track.”

He motioned Ros towards the console by the warp core as it was the most likely in still working condition.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

Ros studied the console for a moment. “Seems like the computer is still active. Warp core is stable, but inactive. Like it’s… asleep.”

Kristi frowned at the entity. “I don’t understand… how do I get back? He needs my help.” She pointed to Stone but the last sentence covered more in her emotions than mere desire to help professionally.

Eng (ghost?)

You are more needed here than there. The past of this ship is colliding with its present. Time is more flexible than you think.

-Matrix

Kristi glanced once more at Mike and sighed. Turning back to the specter, she shook her head in resignation. “Ok, what do you need me to do?” She hoped Mike would forgive worrying him and not waking.
