Just after Anders said this the ship shuddered as a glancing impact hit their shields knocking them down to 72%. The creature it seems though had started to loose interest and was making its way back to try to find the Volograd. Drudoc seeing that spoke up, “..Helm! Get us in front of the creature, keep trying to keep its attention..” She said.

”..Aye ma’am!” the NE said.

Sifeda nodded at Anders, “Thank you Lieutenant Anders, I think is a great idea.” She looked at the Commodore and said, “Unless of course you have other thoughts on the matter.”

”..Our temporally adjusted shields are already using such modifications. But a subspace pulse could do the trick, we need to act quickly though to find the correct phasing pattern..” Drudoc said.

“Of course they are,” she said under her breath. The she smiled and said to Anders, “Thank you for offering to liaise with engineering, you are always willing to show initiative, Lieutenant.”

She then activated the comm then said to Buchanan, “Did you get that. Your subspace pulse it a viable option, you just need to find the correct phasing pattern.”

Kaden responded =/\=Yes ma’am. I have been listening to the discussion. I am going to prepare the pulse now. Give me a few seconds to confirm with the computer. I will respond when the pulse is ready to go.=/\=

Sifeda said, “Acknowledged and good work.”

Kaden then turned his attention to the computer. He then asked the computer, “Please confirm, if possible, the needed phasing pattern in order to provide the best change for the pulse to actually work and distract or even stun the creature. After confirming it, please prepare the pulse using that pattern and let me know when its ready.” He then waited for the computer to respond. Kaden hoped this would work. Based on the simulations, it should work but one never knows if the simulations actually work in real life.

The computer began to hum before replying, another shudder rocking the ship sending shields down to 64% and sending a few consoles flickering as power was rerouted around the ship.

“Would powering the pulse through the deflector dish allow for a more focused area of effect?” Anders was no engineer, but liked how much of an effect ‘taking initiative’ seemed to have on the senior staff.

Impressed with his quick thinking Sifeda nodded at him with raised eyebrows.

=/\=Lt Anders, I will have the computer check this to see if this will help with the pulse because of the more focused area. Thank you for the idea.=/\= Kaden responded to the Lt. He then said to the computer, “Computer, during your configuration, would it help if the pulse was sent through the deflector dish? If so, make it part of the preparation” He then waited for the computer to respond.

Mar listened to the banter of ideas and execution of orders fly back and forth between bridge members and the other ship departments. It gave her greater insights into the workings of the crew…

… And their Captain.

A ship in crisis lowered shield between people and brought the best in them… Usually.

In this case, it brought out the best in everyone.

”=^= Standing by up here when you’re ready Ensign =^=,” Anders responded, then shot a look at Mar and grinned like a Cheshire Cat, he was impressed with himself and was proud of her too.

Finally the computer chirped out a reply to Anders, =/\= Current temporal phasing pattern appears by projections to run between 10.1-20.5 subspace temporal bands, further exact measurement are impossible at this time. =/\= The computer said. In short they would have to try to run a pulse through those band lengths hoping to catch the right one. This would mean several pulses would be needed in rapid succession it was doable but would draw a lot of reserve power currently being fed into the engines and shields.
