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.

He sighs. “Just for safety precautions, let’s have shields up in case they come not friendly at all.” He replied

PAwl was not certain if the XO was referring to him to add shields or one of the others. the security chief, or the tactical officer. “I am not a security or tactical officer, sir. ” Pawl said softly to the officer. Not sure what to do.

“Don’t worry Lieutenant. Was looking at the other officers.” Becket had said to Liam.

NE Logan who was a tactical officer nodded at commander Becket and rose the shields up at the time of the command. “Shields are up sir.” Said NE Logan.

Becket looked over at everyone and nodded. “Let’s make this mission count. No word from anyone. Since we are here in the neutral zone. We are the only ship out here. Let’s make this one count.” Becket said to each and every officer that is around him.

OOC; Alex, thank you for running with this. I am going to post like I had an important meeting that needed to be handled while the mission was started.

Captain Donoghuei walked out of his office and looked at the bridge. He saw what was up on the main screen and was aware the shields had been put up as a precaution. He looked at Commader Becket and said, “Do you have a report for me, Commander.” He then waited for Alex to get out of his chair before sitting down.
