Dagen was riding the waves of being newly married and for this time happy that Chan was on the bridge and he could work undisturbed below decks. He noted they were approaching a nebula. Traditionally that could affect systems but the ship was a tough little ship and was more science related and so better made to handle any such fluctuations. Confident that they were fine as the sensors hadn’t told them differently he was looking at duty schedules.Then the alarms went off. He visually ‘saw’ the shield strength sink from green into an ugly orange level. 40%?! “What the hell?” he said as he jerked up from his desk and went into the main area of engineering. “Emergency power to shields!” he called out to Bat who was on the controls. “Deeg! Report!”
“Impulse engines in reverse. We’re moving back,” Deeg reported.
Slapping his badge. =^= Thor to Chan. What’s going on up there? What hit us? =^=

OOC: Got it. Thanks :)Kenson
As they moved back the settings resumed a reverse of what they had seen. Seraph reported, “The nebula is affecting the shield harmonics. Their pulses are eroding shield strength.”
Deeg rang in, “We’re safe at a billion and a half kilometres. 1.2 we start feeling it.”
Dagen tapped at the console’s edge with his fingers. “Suggestions?”
Sebastion pushed his glasses up his nose. “What happens if we only go with nav shields?
Bat replied, “don’t think so. If they are pulses from the nebula we should be able to predict them and nullify their effects with a neutralizing pulse through the shield emitters.”Dagen tapped the console. =^= Thor to bridge. Something for our science crew there. We’ve been looking at the effects of the nebula. Two question for them: One: if we only run nav shields will the nebula negatively affect the ship, and two, can they work out the power and frequency of the pulses to work out a neutralizing pulse through the shield emitters or deflector array to nullify it at a distance? =^=
Dagen, CEIt was not long after that Dagen saw on the display that they had abandoned the nebula and were speeding away on impulse. That alleviates the nebula issue, though he was a little irked at there being no reply from the bridge. But then they retreated so probably it was no issue now. Now he just needed to keep an eye on the impulse engines. They’d not had a workout like this since shakedown so he was watching them carefully.
“Bat, keep an eye on the injectors. I’m sure they are fine but this is a good time to run a low level diagnostic on them to check fuel flow rates and efficiency.”
The Bolian waved back his assent; Dagen was sure he was going to stretch and burst his uniform at some time there. He reminded himself to not take the Bolian bowling in uniform.

=^= Chan to Dagen. Apologies for the delay. we’ve encountered a creature of unknown origin.It bumped us as it passed. We’re now following it=^= Chan reported through the com.
