OOC; Sorry! Trying to word things differently, there’s an anomaly in spacetime that seems to act like a shell, surrounding a span of the galaxy, with a “two-dozen lightyears radius”. The effected space where warp is negatively effected (the crumple) is only about 200 billion kilometers thick though, and within the ‘egg’ spacetime seems to behave normally. The distressed ship seems to have made it 50 billion kilometers into the anomalous region (about a quarter of the way) before malfunctioning - making it 150 billion kilometers away from the Kepler. Did that make more sense hopefully?

Thelos glanced towards Ka’Sora, then turned to d’Aramis. “Captain, I believe it may be advisable to send medical personnel to the Da’ryn, to properly triage the injured where they are. We saw for ourselves the injury on their captain.”

Sebastian sat quietly for a moment, various options running through his mind.

A decision having been made, he pounded the arm rest on his seat. “Helm, take us in. Let me know when we’re within transporter range. Change of plans, Ka’Sora. Get a medical team prepared to go over and meet me in the transporter room. Thelos, you have the conn. If things start going sideways, get the ship out of the anomaly. I hoping the engineering team can get them moving out of that space.”

Glancing around the bridge and crew one more time, Sebastian stood and ordered, “Let’s do this!”, and made his way to the turbolift.

OOC: She was already off the bridge, but I can magic wand it. Not sure if we’re starting multiple threads for this side sim or not either.
IC:
“Yes, Captain,” Ka’Sora said, leaving the bridge to prepare.

[OOC: sorry, its been a busy couple of weeks. To answer the threads question - with only four of us, I would love to avoid splitting everyone up entirely cause then all of the characters would be alone with holographic people - and i’d be stressed out trying to balance three storylines at once]

Those who planned to beam over to the Da’ryn gathered in the transporter room. Comms was able to get back into contact with the crew of the alien ship, and soon they passed through the threshold into the area of strange space. There was a creaking sound throughout the ship as it crossed the invisible boundary, which continued as they flew at quarter impulse through the region. Engineering reported that the ship’s hull was experiencing stress similar to that of a submarine adjusting to deep water pressure, but there was nothing but vacuum out there.

=Captain, we are coming into transporter range of the Da’ryn, and Captain Wynn has transmitted coordinates for us to beam=

The transporter technician looked to d’Aramis for confirmation that he and his team were ready to beam over.

Chief Engineer USS Manhattan

OOC: I agree. It’s going to be a heck of a lot easier to keep those of us involved in the same place.

IC: Sebastian watched the team step onto the transporter pad, gave them a nod and stepped up himself.

Turning to the transporter chief, he ordered, “Energize.”

His body began to tingle as the room arounded him faded from view. . . . . .

The away team materialised in the room they saw through the viewscreen - the bridge, presumably. The walls were a mid-tone brown, with what looked almost like marbling of darker brown and red colours. The control stations, or what they would assume to be control stations, based on positioning, were pale spheres that gently glowed. Some had wall-displays above them, with text in the Galdori script - familiar to any ‘players’ who had visited Kaia’s quarters, but entirely alien to the characters they played. Turning around, the viewscreen showed the emptiness of space, the far-off shape of the Kepler visible. The room was lit gently by red emergency lighting, and a similar creaking sound could be heard.

The crew was quite varied, and a range of strangeness depending on how familiar Sebastian, Ka’Sora, and Shedda were with Kaia’s species and homeworld. The captain herself - Wynn, played by Kaia - smiled with relief upon seeing the crew. “Thank you for your help, kind strangers. I did not believe your communications officer when she insisted you could move yourself onto our ship without docking, but I see now that I was mistaken. Please, help my crew.”

There were six other individuals on the bridge who were obviously still living, although one was looking quite rough. Pretty much uninjured other than a few scrapes and small bruises were a laleri and hatriku - extremely tall wolf-like humanoid and average sized reptilian humanoid, respectively. The two arwan and kalari - short goat-like humanoids and slightly tall four-armed, smooth-skinned humanoid with patches of glowing skin on their bulbous forehead - had more severe injuries, with one of the arwan clearly sporting a broken arm. The captain had a head injury, but seemed to be on her feet and functional - on her feet being a relative term, considering she was seated in a chair, leaning against one of those pale, pulsing spheres. The final crew-member, being tended to by the laleri, was an okinosian - a ambulatory fungal lifeform. The entire lower-left quadrant of its body was apparently crushed, a panel of wall-material on the ground next to it seemingly the cause of the injury.

Shedda immediately flipped the small screen of the large bulky tricorder open and began taking scans of the area.
