The Helm frowned for the second time and made an adjustment of their orbital course. Then he scratched an eyebrow as he peered at the console. Perplexed he turned to the officer of the day. “Ma’am. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve had to adjust orbit twice now. Just small adjustments but I don’t know why. I’ve got no gravimetric readings or anything but orbit was showing a minute decay each time there.”

The Denobulan lieutenant stood up to peer over to the console. “Energy readings?”
“None,” he said.
“Power compensation?”
“I’ve increased impulse power to compensate. Only 2%.”
“2% more than should be needed. It’s almost time for changeover. I’ll let the XO know.”

=^= Bridge to Commander Creed. Vari here. We are experiencing an odd situation. Helm has had to adjust orbit twice and nominally increase power to maintain it. We are trying to discern the source but since it is almost changeover I wanted to give you a heads up. =^=
