Peter looked at his screen for a moment “They’ve finished docking procedures. They’ll take the nearest Jefferies tubes to the bridge.” He brought up a Schematic of an Ambassador class of the same make as the one they were facing on the viewscreen and showed the most direct route “An Ambasssador Class ship, as you know, is of Similar size as the Viking-Class, we can except a similar time frame of traversal between decks as if they’d be doing it here. Barring any unforseen and probable circumstances.”

Sanx came through the turbolift doors and looked at what was going on. For a moment, he stood silently and just watched. Finally he spoke. “Captain, I need a word. Privately, please. It won’t take but a few moments.”

“Of course Lieutenant my ready room!” She said as she turned toward the scientist. “Commander you have the bridge.” She said to her intelligence chief.
She led the way to her ready room and stopped infront of her desk and turned to him. “What can I do for you Lieutenant?”

Peter simply nodded quietly allowing the Scientist and the Captain to go ahead uninterupted.
Sanx took a deep breath and slowly exhaled as the door closed. “Captain. I wanted to tell you that I think sending an away team over to another ship in… this…” he said and gestured around the room to indicate the nebula, “… is a bit premature. We are still studying the crystal that was provided us and, if I am not mistaken, that is supposed to help us navigate through here. I must insist that we have a better understanding of the nature of this place before we start diving headlong into circumstances that led those other ships to their current condition. And I must add, Ma’am, that analysis of the crystal is problematic at best. Our scanners don’t even really register it as there. We are looking at possible chroniton emissions or absorption as possiblities, but…” and he shrugged. “There is just something very odd about this specimen. It acts in a physical manifestation. It makes a sound if you tap against things, you can hold it in your hand… but scientifically it seems to not actually exist. That, coupled with it’s discussed ties to the nebula… well… that would seem to indicate a level of caution much higher than standard, Captain.”

A dark pulse emanated from the cloud very slowly. Passing over the Viking did not cause any issues with shields or hull, but all the lights seemed to dim. Not the lights per se, but almost as if the universe itself dimmed a bit. Like it was holding back a sneeze before returning to normal lighting. Giggling like that of a little girl flittered in the ears of some of the crew. Light, but yet there. Almost as if a child were nearby.
