=^=I’m transmitting our sensor data. We took some samples and the results were, shall we say interesting. It seems to be either a birthing husk or a shell formed after death, in any case, Lieutenant DeNaris informs me that it’s comprised almost entirely out of unknown material originating from Subspace=^=

=^=Okay, sounds reasonable, anything else?=^= Marius had presumed as much. =^=Although there is a difference between, death and birthing husk.=^=

As the information came in, the computer began to create possible scenarios with respect to the nature of the creature. It would take a little more time as there were parameters that needed to be set by a sentient being to narrow down the more realistic possibilities.

GM

“Keep us ahead of that creature. No matter what.” Marius nodded towards the helm.

The computer link with the runabout showed the results from the analysis. As the ship moved closer to the anomaly, sensors were able to make out that it was some kind of spatial tear. Sensors would show that the special matter that made up the creature’s species was also present from within the tear in the fabric of space at the anomaly.

GM

“The anomaly appears to be a spatial tear,” David announced. “I’m detecting the same matter from the creature within the tear.” He paused. “Maybe this is the creatures home?” He asked curiously.

-David Michaels, CSO

Ben kept watching the tactical display and relaying course and speed adjustments to the helm to keep them ahead of the creature. He thought to himself, “Surely we aren’t going to follow the creature into the anomaly.”

Reia glanced at David, his supposition made perfect sense but, then again, she wasn’t a scientist.

• Reia, CIO

“Makes sense,” Marius agreed with the general theory, “but it isn’t proven. Can we get a little more fact with that theory.” Marius looked off. “If baby is going home, then I don’t see why we need to do anything aside from watch and report to Star-Fleet science.”

He looked to Sage, “Want to send a probe through too… get some information on what’s on the other side of that thing.”

8 hours from the last ‘hurried jump’, the pattern of the increase of energy within the creature and the building up of energy to produce a magneton pulse, the sensors alerted the crew to the next jump.

15 minutes later, the creature disappeared from sensors. This time, the sensors were able to detect the formation of a wormhole that the creature snugly went into. A minute later, the creature appeared one light year ahead from its last position. It was still trailing behind the Genesis.

OOC: I am sorry for the absence. Family matters needed to be taken care of. I will be declaring an LOA until 8 Jan.

GM

OOC: This has been the season of crisis. Hope things are well.

Luke

OOC: Things have settled down. My mother was suddenly taken ill and was hospitalised. They suspected COVID and we were all placed on alert. It turns out the tests were negative and it was her weak heart. She’s still in hospital but at least she’s out of ICU.

IC:

The ship was just about 18 hours away from the anomaly. The creature was still trailing behind. The next jump (in 10 hours), according to the computer’s projection, should put it ahead of the Genesis and about one hour away from the anomaly.

GM

OOC: Welcome back, (non) relaxed posting season has ended lets see everyone pick back up on this thread.

Luke

Ben kept checking the tactical screen and the information displayed there. “Captain, course and speed projections show the creature will be ahead of us if the jumps it’s been making continue. I’ve projected where it will be in relation to us as the red and blue lines on the viewscreen, blue being us and red the creature.”

Ben SO

David didn’t have anything of importance to add at the moment. It felt as though they had just been watching a creature travel in a unique manner through subspace. They’d collected quite a bit of sensor data on the travel method, whether or not such a method could be adapted for a starship was another question entirely. He wondered if the creature was indeed going home, or was this something else entirely?

-David Michaels, CSO

“Lets get a class 7 probe to get a peek at the spacial tear.” Marius nodded towards Michaels. “Do we have something else?”

marius

Ben’s fingers flew over the tactical console. “Sir, probe is ready to launch on your command.” Ben was somewhat relieved that they were going to send a probe into the tear, his initial fear was that they might attempt to follow the creature themselves.

Ben SO

<After the launch of the probe>

The probe reached the coordinates programmed into it and began to stream data back to the Genesis.

The other side of the tear was a subspace domain. The tear was relatively stable but showed that it was gradually getting smaller. From the rate, it would close completely in 4 days. If the creature were to follow its present course, it would reach the tear in less than a day, and the tear was still large enough for it to enter.

There was a low frequency - small amplitude subspace signal that was being transmitted through the tear. This signal was that which was detected by the Genesis. The amplitude of the signal was also decreasing very gradually. When the Genesis used the same frequency to try to communicate with the creature, it caused the creature to increase the rate of its movement.

From sensor data, the computer hypothesised that there were a few creatures similar to the one that was behind them on the other side of the tear. It was 70% certain, based on the amount of similar matter detected through the tear. The matter was not stationary but moving about. The energy signatures were similar as well.

There was also the presence of two additional energy signatures that the computer did not have any records of. They were linked to subspace but the computer was unable to determine what function these signatures had.

“What’s your opinion of pushing the probe through and sending out generic friendship communication codes?” Marius questioned.

Marius

OOC: NB Remember what happened the last time?

GM

“That didn’t seem to go so well that last time we tried that,” David said. “I’m detecting two energy signatures but they are of unknown origin. My best guess is that the creature is simply trying to return home.”
