=^=Weir to Riley. I’ll see what I can do here shortly. Stand by.=^= After a heavy moment, Caelian’s voice continued, concern raw in his tone. =^=I believe I can modulate the shield harmonics to match the energy pockets, see if I can’t filter out the smaller ones and maybe deflect some of the less-stable larger ones. Without knowing more, I can’t guarantee that we can proof the ship against denser incursions. I’m stretched pretty thin here, but I’ll do what I can. Weir out.=^=

Fayth turned to Riley. “Did I hear that right? Weir thinks he can fix the shields to block these pockets?”

Finally Drudoc arrived in the shuttlebay. “..What seems to be the issue?” Drudoc asked to Fayth

Joseph looked over at the captain as she came in and then looked back to Fayth, he wasn’t sure himself what the issue was, and hoped Sharah would explain it in a way for a non science guy like himself to understand.

“We’ve encountered some energy pockets.” Fayth pulled up the data Riley had complied. “This right here shows the shuttle bay and these distortions,” she pointed to a few but there were several. “We had a sensory array on the science runabout explode.” She pulled up the logs for that time. “I felt something, like ice water, going down my back.” She pointed as the tiny pocket of energy literally moved down her back. “At the time,” she looked at Andone, the captain had never made her feel uneasy or incompetent, “I was thinking that I hoped I didn’t blow the array up trying to replace it. I’d never done it before.” The recording continued to play and showed just a moment later the sensory array exploding. “About the same time one of the security grids went out,” she changed the view of the information and it showed NE Nock had been working on said hub as another energy pocket passed through him. “Our scans show the energy patterns of these pockets operate similarly to transporters or replicators. They range in size from the size of a fingernail to much larger. The scans also show they react to our brain waves.” Fayth looked from Andone to Rainns, “To put it simply, if we think it, it will happen. These pockets will respond to our thoughts and make it reality, either by being created or moved or manipulated. The potential to help our situation is great, but a stray thought could cause harm. Such as my own.”

“Riley found a way to navigate around them and sent the information to the bridge. He’s also been in contact with engineering and they are working on a way to modify the shields to block these pockets.” Fayth knew it sounded far fetched but it wouldn’t be the first time energy and matter was affected by a crews thoughts in Federation history.

Drudoc reviewed the information, it was certainly a major find. “…Do they appear natural or synthetic in make?” She inquired. “..We’re coming up on that nearby system and the last thing we need is crazy things happening when we enter this new area..”

Fayth could surmise on her knowledge so far they seemed naturally occuring.

“Based on the information we have they are naturally occurring.” She was interested to see the extent of what the energy pockets could do, but testing them would require a very focused mind and precise parameters.

“Also En Genard has been working with engineering on refining the boridium to use. He wants to test it on one of the shuttles first.”

Drudoc considered this new information. “..We’re coming up the nearby system. I want you to look for a way to isolate these pockets and contain them see if we can find what they can do on a small scale level. As for the Boridium, Ive seen the work so far, once we’re in the system and secured tell him he can take one of our armadillo shuttles for a run provided the system is safe.” Drudoc said.

“Aye Cpt.” Sharah got to work with a couple of the engineering NEs that were still in the shuttle bay. Science crews were still working on finishing the diagnostics and repairing the science runabout’s damaged systems. She sent one eng and one sci NEs to offer to help security with the damaged security platform.

Sharah studied the information they had and kept coming back to the fact it was like a transporter pattern. She used the transporter to lock onto it and ‘beam’ it into the buffer, then told the computer to use that information to ‘beam out’ what the pattern actually was to the transporter pad in the Armadillo shuttle next to her. She entered the shuttle to see what, if anything they had to work with. The entire time she worked she watched the screen to make sure she didn’t come into physical contact with one of the ‘bubbles’ and to made sure her mind was exceptionally clear.
