=/\= Computer, scan the area for any anomalies. Compare the readings from two minutes ago to now and report on any differences. =/\=

Trent, SOO

The computer spun for what seemed like a long time before reporting back. “There have been several temperature and electromagnetic anomalies detected across all decks,” the sultry standard voice reported back.

“OK, your good at asking questions,” Ben said to Simon, “Take a map of the reported locations and see if anyone else has seen sightings to what you saw here.”

“I’m not one of your scivvies,” Simon protested.

“Do you want a story, or should I send you to sickbay and the counsellor to see if you’re insane?” Ben asked

“You both saw it to,” Simon replied.

“Saw what?” Ben asked his tone strongly suggesting that Simon had no choice in the matter.

The journalist muttered something incoherent as he reluctantly left.

The CO touched his comm badge. =/\= Senior staff report to the briefing room, =/\= he said…

-Ben

Kate hid her amusement at the exchange between the two as the journalist left. “I’ll walk with you,” she commented to Gillespie. “Just in case.” She offered a slightly light-hearted wink as emphasis, not entirely sure whether she felt completely sane or aware of what was going on now.

“I’ve got to know Simon over the years and how to handle him,” Ben said as the pair walked, “He’ll do anything you want if he thinks he’s getting a story. He believes I’m not fit for command and that my inability will get him a big story. I honestly thought he’d have headed back to Earth to have covered the election, but I guess I’m not that lucky.”

Kate nodded, sympathy pictured on her face. “I’m happy to run interference if any time you want a break from him,” she offered as they made their way to the briefing room.

When they entered the briefing room, a young crewman was placing a tray of mugs and a steaming pot of coffee on the table. He acknowledged the arrival of the officers before leaving silently…

It was only a moment or two before the first of the atendees arrived.

It wasn’t much surprise that Aaron was one of the first into the Briefing Room, seeing as it was right off of Ops. Hopefully they would hear some news from the Captain about what was going on.

Ben was pouring a mug of steaming coffee from the pot. The pungent smell started to drift.

“Coffee, tea?” he asked Trent and Foley.

-Ben

Kate snagged a cup of coffee with a grateful smile. “Good thinking, sir,” she commented and then nodded a greeting to the XO, handing him a cup as well as she remembered his preference from their meeting upon her arrival on the station.

Trent, SOO

“Why thank you,” Aaron said as he accepted the cup. Taking a sip he raised his eyebrows. Her memory could be both a good thing and something he was going to have to watch out for.

As they settled into their chairs in the briefing room, Trent walked through an extremely cold spot. Just one spot maybe a cylinder a foot in diameter but it was enough. Easily a full 10 degrees Celsius colder than the rest of the room, but, defying the laws of thermodynamics, only that one specific location.

As she made her way to her chair, Kate felt her body involuntarily shiver slightly as a chill hit it. Before she could process the feeling, she felt warm again and sank into her chair with a confused expression on her face. She sat for a moment, pondering if she was hallucinating or not, before getting to her feet again and retracing her steps to see if she experienced the same thing again.

Trent, SOO

“Everything okay Lieutenant?”Aaron said looking over at her, noticing her confused look.

LtCmdr Foley - XO
