“Its already been a ghost ship, you know that, however, we have got this, Mike.” Kaylia nodded.

OOC: Interestingly enough it’s not that fingernails grow but rather the skin around them decays giving it the appearance of growth.

“It is something we’re used to.” Mike nodded to Kaylia. Then looking at others on the bridge he said “Did someone get a glimpse of what killed the unfortunate NE? If we can’t even see them then we’ll have a hard time fighting them.”

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

“I did not see it, however, there is a way to get to them even if they are invisible. Not only anyone with telepathic abilities, but also using just good ol senses. Hearing, smell. We also could try to program our tricorders to pick them up.”

Peter had been silent for too long “Pick who up?” He asked in as patient of a voice as he could muster “Right now we don’t have a physical enemy to track down, whatever did all this obviously doesn’t require physical manifestation” He looked at the Chief Engineer “Lieutenant Stone was transported here after meeting with beings that could change matter and..” He paused and looked at the ensign still attached to the wall “That was done in less than six seconds. In mere moments something eviscerated a crewman, attached him to a wall and left without internal sensors picking anything up, without him” He gestured the Helmsman “Smelling anything” Peter looked over the group “The bridge isn’t secure, I recommend transferring Bridge Controls to engineering” He said to the Captain “We need to make two stops, one to secure Sickbay and one to the armoury” He looked down at his bloodstained uniform making a mental note that he’d have to leave his clothes here to avoid further issues “Captain?” He asked for approval or different orders.

“Wierd things have been happening in engineering as well, though not as deadly as here. I’m not sure transfering bridge to engineering is such a good idea. But keeping people in one place might be better if we need to defend ourselves.... also I’ve been wondering why I was sucked into the portal. Did they just want to get me out of there.”

He looked at the display, at the spot where he came from. No one else folowed after him. Either the engineers were smart enough not to touch the mirror like portal, or it dissapeared after him.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

“Wierd things always happen on this ship as it did on the previous one, like the clown. We have to deal with it and prevail. If we cannot fix this then we are screwed, sir, and do not touch it.” She also was not at all happy that there was the Intelligence officer there acting as a know it all. Either tell them what he knew or shut up and let them figure it out. “I don’t think its you, its locational. When it feels…if you want to use that term, a bodily presence, it sucks them in.”

Kaylia gave a huff. “Fine. I will encrypt the sequence to your command codes, which you will have to put in Lieutenant Stone, and functions transfered to Engineering. Adding my own of course, and before you ask Mike, yes I am ambitious.”

Peter nodded at the Chief Engineers suggestion “I’ll defer to your judgement on the matter, in any case, this Bridge is not secure. We can transfer controls to the Auxiliary bridge which is smaller. I mentioned Engineering because of its size and defensibility. Back when I was Security Chief here we did drills using Engineering as a final defence point” He finally holstered his phaser, giving the helmsman and then the smaller Engineer a brief look each. Ignoring Strenvales comment he checked the bridge chronometer, Medical should be arriving soon. If they could get in contact with the Away team and fom a secure perimiter they might get out of this without further casualties.

Ooc: this is to bring our current sim to and end, and allow our new GM to begin working when we are finished.

Over the next couple hours, things were in a flurry. Kristi and Lance went to seek out the the other bodies and make sure whatever happened to them wasn’t still on the ship. Stone went back to engineering and between him and the science, it was discovered that moving the ship into warp from their current position would not only lose them the away team, but possibly tear what they believed to be a temporal rift they were stuck on the edge of.

A couple test impulse engine nudges would move the ship just enough to make the eviscerated bodies disappear as if they had never been there. Unfortunately, the bodies of the crew mates never reappeared. They were truly lost.

There was a lurch to the ship and Kristi almost toppled into Lance as a small cry escaped her lips. Just then the body they had been investigating disappeared. “NO!” she cried out. Her hand reaching reflexively towards the shimmer which swiftly disappeared leaving the wall blank and as clear as if nothing had ever been there.

She drew her fist back and clutched it to her chest as if she had been burnt. “Lance....” the word was question and plea all rolled into one.

Engineer

It was full of static at first. A message that seemed to be on repeat. As comms tried to get it cleared up, it soon came through loud and clear.

=^= Captain… it’s Kalika… are you there?=^=

Her voice was ragged, tired and frustrated as if she had been trying to get a child’s attention… and failing.

Kalika
CoS

Kaylia was going to have to go to Engineering as well since she set it up for two command codes. One of them hers, in which from there also a transfer to the auxiliary bridge could be done. If they wanted, so that helped for now.
