There were fluctuations in the shields and engines. Power seemed to be wavering. Each of the systems would need to be checked and alarms reset. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Discovery Mouse : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Get those Alarms!” Max said, moving to the main console and checking the core for stability. “I’m going to divert power from non essential systems to reinforce shields and keep the Impulse Engines powered” Max said as he began to work on the Engines, they needed to be able to pull the Manhattan out. “Ensign” he said to Kaia, “Stabilize those shields, use any non essential energy you can.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Wynter : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : CE : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia nodded and transitioned to a four-legged stance to run to the appropriate console, then gracefully leapt onto the console and started pressing switches and dials, going through the motions, so to speak, to stabilize the shields. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Eng : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Max watched her for a moment and then went back to his own console, the urge to get a water bottle and squirt the little feline alien to get off his consoles strong, and making him grin as the idea ran through his head. “Non essential systems being taken down on the lower decks” he announced, “replicators offline, lighting reduced to 30%, shunting power to Engines and into reserve for the shields.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Wynter : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : CE : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Will it be enough, sir?” she asked, glancing over as she followed the instructions. Honestly, she had no clue what was going on out there. ‘Please, Enris, keep us safe,’ she thought to herself, glancing in what she hoped was the direction of her home system. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Eng. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : As the power was rerouted, the ship began to respond more positively and they were able to move away from the well and get to a safer distance, yet still be able to scan. The damage to the Manhattan was minimal, no systems were damaged, the well had been drawing power from the ship. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Discovery Mouse : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Stabilize the power flow” he told the Engineer, “I want that power held in reserve in case we need it, leave the non essential systems offline until we are fully clear. We might not have time next time it happens to reroute the power.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Wynter : : : : : : : : : : : : CE : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Yes, sir, understood sir,” the small ensign replied cheerfully, getting to work on stabilizing the power reserves. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : It was about that time that the Captains voice came over the Communications system. =^= Commander Wynter, Status update =^= the voice had the ring of someone used to command, and also not in a hurry should the Engineers need a moment. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Captain Balian Ibn Barazan : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia : : : : : : : : : : eng : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Max turned away for a moment and tapped the comm-badge, =/\= Captain, we have stabilized power and are holding more in reserve in case we need immediate engine response, we have no system damage after the event, and minor damage to non-essential areas that do not affect ship operation. Whatever was affecting us was drawing power from us itself, which is why we had to boost engines so much and drop other system. Captain, if you need us to play battery or want to get close to whatever that was again, a little warning might help. If the drain was any bigger we might not have had the reserves to spare in time. =/\= : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Wynter : : : : : : : : : CE : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : =^=Understood Commander, I will let you know=^= returned the reply of the Captain. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Captain Balian Ibn Barazan, CO : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The ships systems regulated to the new power flows and the Bridge had the power to continue the scans of the well and as long as they didn’t move any closer to it, they would not have to use the reserve power.. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Discovery Mouse : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia was quiet as she sat on the console for a moment, staring at the CE. She was like Rocket Raccoon, but smaller. And much more agile, in her opinion. [She had gotten her paws on some old Earth entertainment and had been quite enamored by the strange media called the “Marvel Cinematic Universe.” It had taken up many evenings to watch.] : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaia : : : : : : Eng. : : : : : : : : : : bump : : : : : : : : Bump for gm : : : : : : “Ensign” Max said as he watched the console, “Lets free up some more power. Shut down power to non assigned rooms on the lower decks and place all the lower decks onto low power mode, red alert systems only to be powered directly and yellow alert systems on standby. Lets make sure we have more than enough power available, “I’m going to run some tests through the computer to see if I can get the shields to better withstand that power drain.” : : : : : : Lt Cmdr Wynter : : : CE : : : : “Yessir!” she replied quickly. Kaia hadn’t been in Engineering nearly as long as her CE, so although she was rather brilliant with her hands, decision making like that wasn’t her strong point. The small alien flicked her tail back and forth as she checked the mentioned systems and carefully shut them down from her console. : : : : Ens. Kaia : : Engineer : : From his station, Max brought up the readings from the sensors from the detected power drain and the strength of it, and then began to run simulations through the computer trying to find a frequency and shield harmonic that would provide the best resistance to the drain. : : Max Wynter : CE : “How is it, Chief?” Kaia asked, leaping onto the chair he wasn’t sitting on to peer at his station. She’d finished her assigned task. : Ens. Kaia Eng.

Gwyn walked in and attempted to hide her cybernetic hand from her colleagues. “Hello.” She said in a shy voice. She tried to avoid eye contact afraid of the eyes that would stare at her.

One notable pair of eyes that Gwyn might notice belonged to a small feline creature who looked like someone had made Puss in Boots into a Siamese Cat and dressed him up in a Starfleet uniform.

The alien smiled cheerfully at the girl, then turned back to the console she was perched on and pressed a few buttons, continuing to work on something.
