=^=He’s gone,=^= Serena replied. =^=Vanished. He may be caught in the temporal wake, or sheer. Whatever you want to call it.=^= Her tone changed, shifting then as though she was addressing someone else near her. =^=Can we map the temporal fields and ride it out? I doubt we can get the Shai out of here as-is, and we’re dealing with forces a lot bigger than us at the moment.=^=

Orvos could feel it. The sudden numbing feeling of shock. The whole situation was chaotic and it seemed to only thicken. The feelings to time creating a sense of temporal nausea within him. The feelings of shock at potentially having lost someone close. The nerves of the bridge crew as they hurried to figure out a solution.

The El Aurian captain turned briefly to look at Faye, confirming what his mind already knew. He turned back to the viewscreen and stood up, his mind pushing the distractions aside as he focused intensely on the problem at hand.

The tractor beam was indeed something that could be effecting things. What if?…

“Commander Calloway may be on to something. Ops, the tractor beam, in its current use is speeding up this process it would seem. Maybe we can change that by reversing its polarity.”

=^=That’s not a terrible idea. Commander Madison?=^=

Lt Cmdr Stone, XO

=^=”I’m not sure. Let me check something. =^= Liam stated as he went silent for a few moments.

=^=My tricorder detected a large flood of chronitons that suddenly vanished.”=^= His voice even as he continued. =^=” It’s possible that reversing the polarity will slow it down.”=^=

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

Orvos immediately looked to the ops officer as he held back a grimace as his stomach continued churning. “Let’s do it!”

The NE worked his console, obeying the captain’s orders to a T.

If they eyed the measurements of the phenomenon they would observe that its progress did indeed slow.

It was hard to know how time passed when she experienced The Distance and depending on what was going on and what triggered it, her symptoms could differ. This was not an absence this time. Instead, she was aware and there were words spoken around her that her mind processed but she felt like an external observer and everything felt slow. Ironic given they were dealing with time dilations. She looked down at the console next to the XO’s chair and processed the results. “It’s working,” she said, her voice flat, distant.

=^=”It seems that Hammor is currently on the Shai, with their crew.”=^=

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

The XO’s voice followed, sounding a little stressed, but mostly cool. =^=I suppose that’s a positive. Acknowledge them.=^=

Stone, XO

=/\=Keep us posted from your end,=/\= Calloway said, seemingly fine on the outside. =/\=We’ll keep an eye on the connection. If the Shai’s crew has any ideas on how to sever the connection but have the right people in the right time, we’re open to suggestions.=/\=

Bringing this forward

Orvos stood staring at the viewscreen intently, his thoughts bringing to mind that which he felt he shouldn’t explore. Yet if there was something to be had in it, if there was something that could clue them in more on what was going on. He was the captain of the Athena, and whether starfleet liked it or not, he had a group of people…a family…to protect and ensure they got home safely.

His gaze then turned behind him to his Chief Intelligence Officer as he eyed her curiously. After a moment, he said, “Commander, can I see you in my ready room please?” Without another word, Orvos moved. “Lt. Meadows, you have the bridge until we get back.”

Meadows looked nervous, but exuded a confident “Aye, captain.”

-Captain Orvos Legen, CO

Faye just gave Legen a nod and followed him into the ready room.

~Faye Calloway, CIO

After Faye and Orvos had their private meeting away from other prying ears, the duo rejoined the bridge. Orvos already had an inkling that something more had been going on while they were away. He could sense it.

“I assume communications are still open?” he said to the helmsman.

“Aye, sir,” replied Matthias as he looked to confirm.

=/\=Away team, I need a report.=/\=

=/\=Counselor, any news on your end?=/\=

Orvos took the center seat once more, his eyes more set as he pushed himself past the uneasy temporal feelings wreaking havoc on his senses. He was determined to set things right once and for all.
