The ensign went to the drive and looked at the panel for a moment. Then headed to the comm system that the marines’ were carrying. =^=Begging your pardon sir, the wattage is warp eight on the power scale not necessarily were are moving at warp eight, it’s all being used somewhere… I’m not sure where and I’m not sure its safe just to turn it off. =^=

That was a lot of power just being siphoned off, Jen thought, imagining a large hose dipped into their drive. But who was sucking it out, he wanted to know. He had been studying the maps of where the crew had been and hoped that they’d have a path to sickbay soon to help mediate the injuries. However, back in the zone, Jen’s antennae shifted as though seeking the answer themselves. “I suggest a gradual shutdown, Captain. If the power is somehow going into our systems …” - here he wondered how much power it took to sustain all those force fields - “… that should become evident and we can reverse that quickly if it is an issue. If someone is bleeding us maybe they will knock.”

Katelyn had let out an audible sigh as Engine reported the correction. That made the situation a lot more difficult and a lot more important, all at the same time. That kind of power drain meant something was seriously going on beyond the computer going haywire. “I agree,” she responded with a nod. “We need to figure out what the heck is going on here and fast.”

=/\= Jacobs to Engineering. Begin to slowly reduce the power. See if there are any other changes in our systems that you’re able to monitor. =/\=

=^=Captain, I am leaving Private Gilmore in main engineering. I am taking Private Epson with me and we’re going to look for wounded and get them to sickbay if possible.=^= She said and nodded for Epson to follow her.
