As she would happen to go to refine her tricorder scans though and look back once more to the source of the slime, she wound find that somehow the slime residue was now simply gone! One second it was there on her scans and sight, then the next it was poof! Gone! No residue of the slime was in evidence or of how it had vanished. Certainly more of a mystery to delve into though! But what to do next was up to her....

Katie blinked twice as she stared at the 3” pipe waiting for the slime to not reappear, which it didn’t. Had she actually seen something unusual? She dialed the playback function on her tricorder back one minute and watched the readings carefully. Clearly something had been there and now there was nothing. She dialed the tricorder back again and reduced the playback speed by a factor of ten. Something was there. It hadn’t moved and it didn’t shrink at least not at this playback speed. In a tenth of a second it vanished. After running a diagnostic on the tricorder, which showed the tricorder to be functioning correctly, she scanned the other piping, conduits and general surfaces in the area, none of which showed any evidence of the slime having ever been there.

“So. The only evidence that can be analyzed is this recording of tricorder scans,” Katie said with a frown. She turned and headed back to where Miz’uki was working. This was going to need some more heavy duty analytic equipment and probably more experience than she had to determine what was happening.”

“Miz’uki was using a WRT and she came over to see what Katie had found “What did you find Ensign?” she purred her tail swishing like a cat on the prowl she hoped that the Synth crew would just let them do their thing and not ask too many questions of them considering they had to respect the Temporal Prime Directive

Miz’uki

=^= Doctor Stacey to Chief Engineer Miz’uki, I have an update for you.=^= The Ensign stated excitedly. =^= Do you have your PaDD on hand?=^= Gavin went back over to where his PaDD was and began to transfer the data he collected over to the CE.

=^= You’re going to find, hopefully, some sort of organic anomaly in the Synth’s computer core, Lieutenant.=^= Doctor Stacey announced. =^= I’ve already informed our science chief, but she asked me to give you a heads up as well. =^=.

=^=”How very interesting!”=^= she purred as she began to work her tricorder into scanning for this organic anomaly specifically =^=”We need to contain it and get it out of the Synth’s system because that should not be there after all”=^= she added

Miz’uki

As the two Ark Angel engineers were discussing their findings the Synthesis’s chief engineer came back over. “..Forgive me but I could not help but overhear, you said you found some kind of organic ‘anomaly’ in our computer core?” he said incredulously as id disbelieving this. “..I hope you won’t mind if I come along to you checking this out? Obviously something like that should not be there!” he stated.
