“I concur,” replied Glen. “NE Science, can we get sensors on the orbital range of the planet to see if we can find out what’s causing the tidal effects?”
NE Clarence looked back, a nervous-looking young man “I I’ll focus sensors Captain. The Geophysics Department did note that nothing obvious was influencing it” He said as nervously as he looked.
Glen quietly made an observation to Kord, “The science department personnel seem to be getting younger every day?”
A voice came over the comms, =^= Ezial to bridge, you guys doing ok up there? I’m getting a few odd readings on the ship and you guys are flying like you are dancing.=^= There was a touch of mirth in her voice, =^= Is there a party up there I don’t know about?=^=
Glen made reply. =/\= My Chief Engineer! It’s been so long that I forgot we had one! We thought you must have drowned in a sea of Tuna fish down there! No, not a party exactly, but we are investigating the planet in more detail with probes. Tinga is also taking a shuttle down into the ocean trench to where her humming originates from. William is investigating the continuing odd readings aboard the Merrimack on Deck 2 in person. We could certainly use you input as an engineer into how these things are tied together. =/\=
Another Comm channel opened =^=Grey to Bridge, I’ve traced the source of the strange readings… it’s the bloo..=/\= There was a momentary pause =/\=The cat. It’s Ginger, he’s gotten big, like tiger big and it’s eating some sort of cat food. We might need security here and whoever his veterinarian is. That is if he even has one. For now, I’m just going to do some non-invasive scans and hope his food doesn’t run out=^=
Glen shot a look over to Kord before replying.
=/\= What in hell has Faith been feeding him? =/\= Glen asked rhetorically, but then realised, =/\= This is the Reality Stone again! Like the Tuna fish incident. We must be getting closer to have so many of these events. My advice would be to leave him be and stay clear. Ginger doesn’t like being disturbed when he is eating. =/\=
“Would the reality stone grant the possible desires of animals?” Kord asked not sure if he really wanted to know the answer.
Glen considered the implications, “A good call! I really hope not! ....Three things that we need to do. First, I need a memo sent to all crew immediately. Everyone must refrain from having any kind of peculiar or fantasy thoughts. Second, lets see if the new Doctor can rustle up some kind of a shot that limits the imagination. It won’t be compulsory to take it, but anyone who can’t keep themselves in check is a danger to the Merrimack. Thirdly, I need a list of all the sentient creatures aboard. If it can work on a cat’s fantasies then it could work on Cadet Bryson’s Budgerigars or on Chief Morton’s Triffids.”
