Shortly after the meeting in the captain’s ready room, the senior officers dispersed to their stations, each carrying the weight of the orders just given. The anomaly, still pulsing deep within the Romulan Neutral Zone, had everyone on edge.

Lieutenant Commander Alex Becket exited the ready room alongside the captain, pausing briefly at the tactical station to review the latest telemetry. The readings were erratic—tachyon emissions spiking and collapsing in irregular intervals, almost as if the anomaly was responding to their scans.

The hum of the Ark Angel’s engines filled the deck, steady and calm, but the tension among the bridge crew was unmistakable. Eyes flickered between consoles and the viewscreen, where the shifting distortion of the anomaly shimmered against the stars.

“Maintain yellow alert,” the captain’s voice cut through the quiet. “I don’t want any surprises. Helm, adjust course to hold us just inside Federation space. Science, continue analysis of the anomaly. I want to know if it’s stable—or if it’s some kind of trap.”

Becket’s fingers danced across his console as he brought up a layered display of subspace readings. He frowned, leaning closer. “Sir, I’m detecting faint gravimetric fluctuations within the tachyon field. If this holds, it could destabilize subspace in the surrounding sector. That much energy… it’s not natural.”

A silence followed, broken only by the quiet chirp of sensors. The Romulan border had always been dangerous, but this… this was different.

For the Ark Angel and her crew, the mission had just begun.

Liam worked quietly at the science station, reviewing the scans and conducting additional scans to try to get a clearer picture of the anomaly. The interference has made it difficult at times. Liam still did not have an answer to what the captain was asking for. “Aye, sir! Still trying to get a clearer picture.” As Liam continued his observations.

Alex sat there looking over his shoulder and looked at Lt. Batario. “Lieutenant did we get anything?” He asked with a glance as he went over and hovered over the lieutenant’s shoulder

“The blobs of tachons might be cloaked Romulan vessels. They might be having as much difficulty as we are with the scans.” Liam said calmly to the officer. “I believe the anomaly is stable for the moment. “I am trying to filter out the interference to get a clearer picture.” Pawl added.
