A couple of hours had passed since the Tal’Kiran vanished. The moment the comms meeting ended, she broke formation and cloaked, her crew reduced to just 80 volunteers—the bare minimum needed to keep a D’Deridex operational. She disappeared into the nebula without a word. Since then… nothing. No pings. No telemetry. Not even sensor ghosts. Just silence.

The IKS K’voras cloaked not long after, slipping out of the nebula just far enough to get a scan. What she found wasn’t comforting. The monsters were still out there—those warped, hulking things patrolling the edges of long-range sensors, shifting in and out of view like predators waiting for a lapse in attention. They hadn’t moved on. Their focus was still locked on Chimera and her allies.

But the Tal’Kiran?

Still no sign. And in this kind of silence, that’s the part that keeps you watching the shadows.

Freja hated the waiting game, she supposed it came from her years as a fighter pilot. She was used to getting out there and doing rather than sitting in a chair waiting for word.

At least, thanks to the K’voras, their enemy seemed to be fixated on them rather than moving on to another less military-like object for the time being.

Suddenly there was beeping at the console a hail was coming in the officer at the Ops station turned “Captain we are getting a hail it appears to be the Tal’Kiran…but I don’t know it’s like their id signal is flickering…could just be the nebula I will run diagnostics but would you like me to open channel anyway?” She asked

“Yes, let’s hear it,” Freja replied.

~Freja Andreassen~

She pulled it up it was audio only there was some static and some other artifacts

“So they know our ship name now? What else do they know, because I’m pretty sure that’s not the Tal’Kiran anymore,” Freja replied, “Run diagnostics, let’s see if we can analyze the static.”

~Freja Andreassen~

The Officer at the opps station began to analyze the static

“There is nothing much here captain just the signs that they seem to have fallen to whatever this infection is as well

Hammond stood on in the back observing, it certainly felt suspicious to him. He did not say anything yet the captain seemed to be on a similar thought line and he did not want to disrupt. He typed a few stand by orders to the wings to be read.

T’Leia entered the bridge and moved over to the Science station to start her shift. She nodded to the Junior officer who gave it up to her and logged in. Running the science logs so she could catch up on what was going on.
OOC: I am afraid I came in mid sim so not exactly what was tried against these aliens. Did anything effect them?)

Lt. T’Leia CSO

OOC: Basically the nebula gases kill them, they’ve come from subspace and I’m sure I’m oversimplifying, Kira when you have a moment, perhaps a summary on your portion of the MOTD may be in order?

IC:

Freja breathed in through her nose, “Do we have any sensor data, they mentioned reinforcements?” She asked. This was rapidly getting out of control and she needed to try and wrap her head around a solution quickly. Maybe the solution was blow them out of the sky, but she needed a game plan before charging out of the nebula with guns blazing.

~Freja Andreassen~

“ Running scans, Captsin.”
T’Leia frowned and quickly ran what scans she could given where they were.

Lt. T’Leia CSO

“Let me know if we need to reposition the ship Lt,” Freja spoke to her CSO, “We can try moving closer to the edges of the nebula to see if that clears things up.”

~Freja Andreassen~

OCC I will come up with an update but it may have to wait for the Holiday weekend for the MOTD to be updated I’m afraid my night job plus having a health scare has me struggling Sorry guys I’m trying :(

the sensors were not able to see out of the Nebula however the computer had a full update The Nebula’s Ionization seemed to destabilize the entity as for conventional weapons Torpedoes were effective Phasers and other energy beams started out fine however seemed to lose effectiveness overtime as if the entity was starting to figure out how to absorb them hand phasers on the personnel level stunned the creature for a few seconds on the highest kill setting and disinefected surfaces that were not completely covered in the entity

Lt. T’Leia studied the scans and the reports on the last interactions with the entity.
“Captain, I cannot get any sensor readings outside of the Nebula but going over the readings of the interactions with the bring it would appear that the ionization of the nebula affects it and destabilizes it. Torpedoes too seemed to affect it, everything else energy beam wise was absorbed, as if it could adapt to them. I would suggest we look at the ionization effect more and see if we could turn that into a weapon.” Tapping her controls she prepared to set up some simulations. “I will run simulations to see if we can use the deflector dish to emit this ionization and if it would be enough to harm this creature and drive it away. I could also run simulations to see if we can reconfigure our shields to do the same. If these two things work we can send the specifics to the other ships.”

Lt. T’Leia CSO

Hammond and Kilo moved over to the science station he wanted to get a look at what she was seeing. He Stood close enough to get a look at the screen as she worked but did not speak. He did not want to interrupt her through process. Kilo stayed glued to hammends right leg, he was on duty.

T’Leia glanced at Hawk as he moved up beside her but as he didn’t say anything she returned to her work though she asked, “Any other suggestions, Colonel?”

Lt. T’Leia CSO

He shook his head, “No Lieutenant, I’m just trying to get a closer look at what your seeing, incase i have to send my men over there. ” he noted. “I did not want to interrupt you while you were working.”

“Quite alright, I can speak while I work. I just wanted to be sure you did not have something I could add to the algorithms.” Indeed while she spoke her hands swept over her board as commands and equations flew across the screen.

Lt. T’Leia CSO

Lunan leaned over the opposite side of the Science Console, “What about some kind of warhead with light attached to the end, so at least we can see inside the nebula itself?”

-Lt. Commander Lunan Farrah: XO-

T’Leia glanced at the Colonel. “Would that not be in your department, Colonel?”

Lt. T’Leia CSO
Hammond thought about, “Maybe more of an engineering thing, though im sure we could deliver the payload easy enough” he smiled “What kind of light are you thinking?”

Colonel Jaxon ‘Hawk’ Hammond
Commander 7th Marine Expeditionary Unit “Iron Valkyries” (CAG)

“Commander, perhaps we could bring Engineering to work the Colonel on that idea?” She suggested.

Lt. T’Leia CSO

OCC look to Wrath of Khan for an idea of what the nebula is doing to the shields and sensors also forgive me i forgot the original name of the engineering NE i came up with before

Ensign Trilia sh’Miros stood at the engineering station, her fingers dancing across the console with practiced ease.
“We’re making good progress tuning the phaser arrays,” she reported, glancing over her shoulder. “We’ve also begun incorporating the ionized particles from the nebula into the torpedo warhead. It’s showing promise.”

Hammond moved next to the ensign and looked over her shoulder, “Good once you have it, send the spec’s to the flight deck so they can start modifying the fighters weaponry as well.” he noted

Her antennae twitched with excitement as she continued. “Commander Hammond, the trials of the shielded EV suits are progressing well, but to fully calibrate the ship’s weapons against the entity, I recommend we obtain a fresh sample. That should allow us to fine-tune our systems for maximum effectiveness.

Kira The Weasel
GMT Phoenix

He gave her a skeptical look, “What’s the best way to get a sample, I would prefer to not lose more of my Marines to this thing.” the concern on his face was not masked.
