“Speak of the devil,” Kelly said hearing Well’s voice come over the comm. “Well then you have your work cut out for you Mr. Wells. Systems do not just disappear and reappear like a magic show. Have you scanned for temporal anomalies,” Kelly asked her CSO.

Relann moved back over to Kelly. “Seems that the Momentum was an old NX class refit lost with all hands shortly after the start of the Federation. There’s not a lot of details, but they were supposedly lost about 200lightyears from here on the Klingon border after investigating… get this, a spatial anomaly that pulled them 5 days off their course.” She looked to the screen. and then back at Kelly. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not keen to repeat their disappearing act.”

“Come on Relann where’s your spirit of adventure. Could be the next Risa,” Kelly said with little enthusiasm. Everyone was feeling the tension of the moment. Humor tended to relieve some of it. Not for Kelly or her XO but maybe if the crew saw thier light banter it would keep tension down until they got into some real problems. For all Kelly knew the probe was just a happy hello. Doubtful but Schultz was the glass kinda full girl at heart.

The Dy’allan eyed Shultz and almost appeared to pout. “But I was just at the most magical world in this quadrant. I’m not sure anything can beat that,” she quipped back.

Rinker heard and saw the ship go to yellow alert, and while he normally didn’t respond to any alert by coming to the bridge unless specifically summoned it had been pretty quiet on the Atlantis so he broke out of his norm for a change. “All hands on deck?” He questioned… “Prepare to repel boarders, Keptain.”

“Yeah go get Peg leg Pete and they rest of your swarthy band of crew. Just throw some Freud at him as a diviersion until security gets there,” Kelly gave Rinker a half grin. She really liked the counselor’s easy going manner. It served him and her crew well.

The swish of the turbo lift doors and the dull thud that accompanied Ryley’s presence sounded in time for the captains last comment. “That wouldn’t be a comment about me now would it skipper.” He said with a smirk and came to a rest by Rinker. Giving the counsellor a glance he added. “I take it I had the same idea as you and thought I’d come and see why the kid from engineering was changing the alert bulb colours in sickbay?” He asked.

Relann wisely bit back her laugh at the Peg Leg Pete remarks and focused on the possible crisis at hand.

At his station Nash adjusted a few of his controls. “Scanning the probe Captain, let’s see what she is” then at the same time, made sure the shields were stable and kept track of the probes approach for targetting. “Phasers and torpedoes ready Captain.”

Lt Cmdr Nash, CTO

“Let’s not be the bully’s of the parsec until we have to Mr. Nash,” Kelly said. She was glad however her crew was so experienced and knew their jobs. She had always commanded with a marcomanager style and this seemed to fit perfectly well with this crew. They knew their jobs and until they didn’t Kelly would let them do their jobs.

The scans came back. Was it actually a probe, it definitely was not federation anymore. It was skinned in pure gold and covered in some style of glyphs. if it came from where the anaomalies were detected then it was insanely fast. Perhaps warp capable. Either way it was broadcasting the distress signal in question. There was also the ghost of perhaps a lifesign aboard.

“Captain Juv Horin and Commander Juniper Kiver were the CO and XO of the Momentum,” Relann commented. “Just for reference. Too bad they didn’t leave us their personal logs…”
