Siobhan had been working on the readouts. She still didn’t have enough data either. “To be honest, Sir. The nebula isn’t going anywhere. There is no reason not to just come back later. The probe can track the information till our return. And if we’d planned to come back for a left behind team, we may as well just come back and do the investigation then. As to the ‘baby’ as you called it, and the anomaly, my suggestion would be to head for the anomaly. We can see if it is calling to the thing, or if it changes at all on its approach. The entity isn’t doing anything but running for that spot, so it will get there eventually as well. And as we circumvent the path, we should still be able to keep in contact with it enough to know if it suddenly makes a sharp right turn.”

While she was mostly fascinated by the creature, itself, she was also curious as to how strong and what exactly the anomaly was doing to draw the infant in. Having time to study the strange destination before the thing arrived and as it was arriving, was something she couldn’t pass up in her mind.

Ben tended to agree with the Xenobiologist, a shuttle by itself would be defenseless away from the mother ship. His security training was kicking in. “Sir, one more suggestion if I may. If we do send a shuttle out with an away team, send the fighter along as escort,” Ben hoped he wasn’t overstepping his bounds, but security of ships personnel was his duty and concern.

Ben - SO

Magnus stood up and placed his hands behind his back. Although his expression was still pleasant his normal smile had faded “The Nebula may not be going anywhere but that doesn’t mean we skip an opportunity to investigate two things at once” He still hadn’t gotten a feel as to how the Captain wanted his bridge to operate but this was getting perilously close to speaking out of turn “A study of a nebula may take a couple of days which would allow the Genesis to complete its observation of the anomaly and the creatures passing through it.” He then turned to the young security officer “We’ve had no signs of danger in the immediate area and launching a fighter without one is not exactly standard protocol Ensign” He spoke a little softer to the young ensign. Personally he had no vested interest in sending an away team, right now he was simply making sure the Captain was given the best options to choose from. “Besides, a runabout is hardly defenseless. We used to use those to travel the Gamma quadrant all the time” He said with his half-smile returning.

“Sorry sir, just trying to make sure all the “i“‘s are dotted and “t“‘s are crossed.” Ben checked the security console readouts and headed for the turbolift.

Ben - SO

“Hawk fighters can’t do much more than warp 4. Not to mention its a two day trip out and then back. I don’t think anyone wants to see if they can do five days in a little one seat craft.” He made a face. “I’ve spent time in a hole not much larger than a fighter cockpit… trust me it gets unpleasant fast.”

“If you permit me, I’d be willing to help coordinating the away team. I can manage the helm of the runabout Sir.”

Ben Park

The creature seemed to be gliding at 83% light speed and holding there. Energy levels do not seem to be diminishing.

GM

“We have three missions and a full roster of capable officers.” He looked at Magnus. “Make the arrangements.” He nodded and turned back towards the screen. Marius knew where he would send who, but as his usual he would defer so he could learn more about what his team would do if he wasn’t giving all the orders.

Marius

Magnus stood up and gave the captain a nod “Mr Park you’re with me. Mr Wilkinson, you can take the Tactical in the meantime, it’ll be good practice” He said with the same half-smile “Commander Micheals, I’ll need at least one Scientist for this mission, have whomever you wish to join me in the shuttlebay in fifteen.” He glanced at the Xeno-Biologist “I suspect Lieutenant DeNaris will be most useful for monitoring ‘baby’ but anyone you can spare” He gave each scientist a quick nod before moving to the turbolift.

XO

OOC: Just so I’m clear the away team is heading to study the creature, yes?

IC: David nodded, then looked over to Siobhan. “You’re on creature duty. Have fun.” He smiled. “Oh, and take Tigress with you.” He knew that Tigress would be happy to be chosen for an away mission, and she might have some unique perspective on the matter.

Siobhan was grateful to go on the away mission this time. Smiling at David, she nodded. “I’ll take care of them, Sir.” She then headed out to join the others.

((apparently I’m going lol… misunderstood… moving to shuttle thread now))

=/\= Michaels to Tigress. Meet an away team in the shuttle bay =/\=

Ben immediately moved to the Tactical console behind and slightly to the left of where the XO was sitting. He quickly scanned the console and noted that all systems were operating within normal parameters. “Tactical is manned and ready sir.” Ben scanned the bridge as a flurry of officers left.

Ben SO

=^=Lt Commander Brennan to the bridge.=^=

=/\=Brennan here. On my way.=/\=

Marius turned to the Security officer, Mr. Wilkinson, Plot a parabolic course to the sub space anomaly. When the shuttle is away, set speed at warp 8.”

Marius

Ben’s fingers moved rapidly over the console. “Sir, course is laid in. Awaiting shuttle launch.” All Ben had to do was touch the console controls and they would be at warp 8.

A moment later, the turbolift doors opened and Sage walked out onto the bridge. Seeing Calvin in the center chair, her mind made the switch to professional instead of personal. He wouldn’t have a private conversation with her in front of so many others. Making her way over to where he sat, she clasped her hands in front of her body. “You wanted to see me, Sir?”

—Sage

“We have a space borne high impulse creature heading towards a subspace anomaly. The XO is going to remain with the creature in a shuttle, we are going to the anomaly. So I need a senior officer on the bridge.”

Marius

OOC: Sorry for the three consecutive posts. I missed the CMO’s post as well. Adding it here …

IC:
“Of course, Captain.” Sage took the XO’s chair and began studying the entity while reading up on what the Genesis had determined about it.

—Sage

Siobhan settled into the science station seat and went back over the data they had about the ‘baby’s‘ birth into the universe. Perhaps she could find a flux of energy in some form that was above and beyond, or far below, the normal readings for the nebula. If that were so, she could add to her report the anomaly and leave it as a warning to those in similar situations that experience it, that something is coming.

Siobhan
Xenobiologist

Looking at the sensor information, Siobhan noticed that the gravitational forces did not seem to be balanced in the system. As the creature was extracting energy, the gravitational forces of the pulsar was lowered by 0.01%. Taking into consideration, the larger bodies in the nebula should have been affected. Using simulations, Siobhan would discover that the creature’s position should have held a rather large planetoid, about two-thirds the size of Earth’s moon. As there was no evidence of the planetoid being destroyed by an external force, it was conceivable that the creature was in that planetoid and it consumed the planetoid in some way to emerge from it.

GM

That would be one big egg. Presuming anyone notified the Captain. “Does the mass/or size of the creature have any correlation to our missing moon?” Calvin said to no one in particular.
