A moment of shimmer, the slight feeling of nausea that always seemed to accompany being transported, and Katie was in the Biology Lab. There were a number of officers working over the blob thing and after a moment, Katie realized that she had never been in this part of the ship before. While trying to stay out of the way, she positioned herself to where she could see the thing.

“These forcefield emitters are from the other ship and, without being too tacky about it, may not be up to our standards,” she said. “They may be doing the job now but if our… guest recovers a bit, they may not hold. I would recommend a different containment system as soon as we can.”

The blob seemed to have recovered from the experience of transport. It once again made an attempt to bounce around the 22nd century forcefield box it was contained in. It did this bounce at its more sluggish rate still not the lightening fast movements that Katie had seen earlier, nor was it phasing through things. But the fields did flare in places and if the status readouts on the 22nd century panels were checked they did show a small drop in coherency, they probably would be wise to do as Katie said ASAP, they did not want this thing to get loose on the Ark Angel!

Gavin was able to confirm Hobbes’s statement by checking the computer. “Computer, erect a level 10 forcefield around the current containment and run an assessment on if that would hold the blob once the original fields fail.” The Doctor stated. With the science chief now back aboard, Ensign Stacey could take a step back and focus on establishing a biological baseline for this creature.

The doctor retrieved his medical tricorder and targeted it at the blob, hoping to perform a more in-depth scan this time.

With a beep to comply another stronger forcefield was erected around the 22nd century emitters. It seems Stacey acted just in time too, as a moment or so later the blob seemed to get a bit of more energy back and with bouncing around erratically broke through the 22nd century fields into the slightly larger Angel one. The older emitters were still usable but their energy cells would need to be replaced later. Scan results of the 22nd century field failure showed that while the blob was in this more energetic state it was able to make minute absorptions of the field and much like a ship’s shielding array would absorb energy fire slowly be drained, until they failed/overloaded.

The blob for a few seconds seemed ‘confused’ for lack of a better term and felt around with an extended piece of itself to the new field containing it now. Again then it tried to bounce around, but as scans showed the more advanced field and particle emissions of the Angel’s containment system were much better and cohesive not to mention better in energy recharge to basically be unaffected by its attempts of escape so far. With a last effort that seemed to be like a fist slamming into its cage even then the field there only dropped .2% for a few seconds before recharging back to normal. Defeated the now again exhausted blob slumped back to the middle of the field and lay still.

Stacey’s scans were much like those of the invisible ooze sample she had gotten before where the two twins had appeared. In this case though the blob did not seem to have absorbed any kind of mental or physical energy patterns to replicate an appearance like the twins had been. The blob was also far more complex biologically and such then the small sample before, and based on its actions so far it did on some level seem semi-intelligent or such to its environment and able to react to changes.
