Sllyrasa signaled to the operator who then attempted to communicate with the shuttle. Hailing frequencies weren’t working and neither was radio. The field seemed to be impeding the signal.

Before the next action could be accomplished the field covering the shuttlebay shimmered brighter as the shuttle inside fired the phasers at it. There was no change otherwise to the field.

A glimmer of hope in the darkness, Avik thought. She observed the ongoing as Sllyrasa signaled to an operator. In the back of her mind, she noted Marsh’s. There were a few ways to explain it based on their technology or other reasons, but she didn’t dwell on that. Suspicion had no place when it came to saving their crew.

Avik was surprised at the shuttle’s reaction, but it didn’t show on her facial features. Did the crew know more about the cause of the interference then them? She didn’t have enough evidence to create an answer as she continued to let Marsh take the lead.

Marsh pursed his lips… “A forcefield that they want to shoot down,” Marsh faced the XO. “Computer take over the ship… but that wouldn’t explain the loss of power. That could explain the loss of communication.” He started working through options.

“That force field has to be getting power from somewhere/ He turned to the aliens, Can you do an analysis of the generation. Forcefields generally had axises like the lines of electromagnetic flow around planets. That would show the ‘beginning and end’ of the power projection and then in turn the source of the forcefield… and then establish if it was a ship issues of some secondary force.”

Sllyrasa tapped a finger against his lip in thought. “We’ve had our various sensing and scanning abilities focused on your ship since it arrived in our orbit. We’re not detecting anything similar to a planet’s magnetic field. It could be that…” He paused in hesitation for a moment. “Our technology isn’t sufficiently sophisticated enough to detect whatever that shimmering field is.”

There were rare times when Cassidy slipped out of deep analysis mode during a crisis. With her background in science, it was her default. It didn’t mean she couldn’t act when the situation called for it though. And right now all she wanted was to do something. And she couldn’t. Not unless they could get up there themselves to scan the damn thing. Her frustration flared, but she put a damper on it not wanting to affect the XO. Still, it was likely apparent in the way she tapped her right fingers on her thigh.

OOC: Matt: I vaguely recall they have ships, yes? I just need a refresher as that early scene when they entered the system was long enough ago that I can’t remember details.
