Aaron made his way quickly over to the center table in Ops. They had enough data to go over, so he figured he was going to need the space to lay it out.

Bringing up the data that they had started to load into the computer, Aaron started another quick analysis to confirm Lt Knights findings. While the computer ran that analysis, he started looking at the external sensors. Perhaps he could find this mystery particle the Lieutenant was talking about.

Aaron sat back in the chair while he watched the computer parse through the data. Hopefully it wouldn’t take to long before they got some sort of information back. Because they had to figure out what was causing these viewings.

LtCmdr Foley - XO

The computer showed that whatever was going on it was more likely that these weren’t ghosts that these were the edges of another time and space pushing against this reality. Was the Magellan pushing back? Perhaps the vessel that had exploded saw a brief flash of the briefing room? No further information could be extrapolated from the data set provided.

GM Wombat

Aaron pondered the data that came back in. He was wondering if the apparitions had been another time or reality pushing into their current space. Almost like an echo. But that still didn’t explain where they were coming from.

“Computer, run a scan for any exotic particles. And while you are at it, has there been any variations outside of normal tolerances within the internal chronometers?”

It was a long shot, but perhaps if what they were seeing was an echo from another time, maybe it was having an effect on the internal clocks.

LtCmdr Foley - XO

The computer reported back that some of the internal clocks would desync randomly, but never by more than a few nanoseconds and would be quickly recovered. While problematic it was never enough, or so far out of tolerance to cause a critical system failure or to cause an engineering alarm to sound.

But it was enough for Aaron to take a second look at them. Even in sophisticated systems, things could get out of sync, the whole reason why the systems did routine checks to make sure everything stayed in sync. But this looked to be way more then normal.

“Computer, correlate desync’s in station clocks to timing and location of known sightings.”

LtCmdr Foley - XO

As they say in statistics, correlation doesn’t indicate causation, but in this particular case there was a very strong correlation. Typically the clocks would desync at about the exact amount of time the sighting occurred. For example, if the experience was a whole second long, then the clock would appear to change exactly one second, either faster or slower. In an area that had a lot of sightings, such as engineering and the bridge, the randomness of the fluxes was enough to balance each other out, so the tolerances were never more than a couple of seconds before they were quickly rectified.

GM Wombat

Aaron leaned back in his seat, as they say, correlation doesn’t always indicate causation, but it definitely looked like there was an effect on the stations clocks. Maybe even a direct correlation.

“Computer set up a diagnostic to monitor all station chronometers, and record any instances were one location desyncs with overall station chronometer.”

This definitely made it look like there was a temporal elements to these sightings.

LtCmdr Foley - XO

After a few moments there was a huge influx of data. It appeared to be coming from every level of the station and every section. Definitely a temporal element to something going on.

GM WOmbat

That got Aaron sitting up straight, and gave them something to work with.

=^= Foley to Knight. I ran some analysis, and whatever is causing these sightings is definitely having an effect on the station. Everytime there is one of these sightings, there is a temporal disturbance in the area. We are actually having the local chronometers go out of sync. Have you found anything? =^=

LtCmdr Foley - XO

=^= yes sir come to my lab I will show you my findings =^= Mike prepared his report for the XO.

GM for the CE

Aaron sighed. =^= On my way. =^=

Standing up, Aaron headed for the engineering lab.
