As they spoke, a flash of light appeared, filling the room with a bright white light, and then disappeared. As their eyes readjusted, they would see a humanoid female, standing in front of the warp core, looking up at it curiously. She was dressed in a simple brown cotton dress, and her brown hair was wavy and hung loose down to her shoulder blades. Her appearance made her look rather primitive to be standing in Engineering on a starship.

Either she didn’t notice them or was preoccupied, as she continued to stare at the warp core, as if in awe.

Ensign Osten spun to face the intruder, his hand resting on the phaser at his hip, ready to draw but not quite willing to assume ill-intent from the woman in front of him. His left hand slowly reached up to press his comm badge as he stared at her, unblinking.

</> Osten to Ashur. We’ve got a visitor in main engineering. Not sure how she got in… shields are up, right? </>

(Ensign Osten, Security Division Three Officer)

=^=What kind of visitor Ensign? What are they doing?=^= Came the concerned reply.

-COS

Ensign Osten took a couple cautious steps forward to put himself between the strange woman and the other Dresden crew members in engineering. He made a point of relaxing his hand, which had tensed around the phaser on his hip.

=^= A woman in modest clothing, no sign of any technology or weaponry. At the moment… she seems to be inspecting the warp core. =^=

Wiles took a shaky breath before speaking out in a steady, diplomatic tone. “My name is Ensign Wiles Osten. You are currently aboard the starship U.S.S. Dresden of the United Federation of Planets. Please identify yourself.”

(Ensign Osten, Security Division Three Officer)

The woman turned and looked at Ensign Osten, a cold hard look in her eyes. She did not say anything but continued to stare at him.

Orin walked in at about that time.

“Anybody else feel that chill a moment ago or was it just me?” he asked.

It was a moment before Orin noticed that everyone had stopped what they were doing and were all looking in the same direction. Looking where everyone else was he saw Wiles and the plainly dressed woman.

Leaning close to Ellie…

“What’s going on?” he whispered.

At that very moment the ship rocked with the impact of the alien weapons fire. Main power went offline leaving them in darkness with the eerie lightning of the warp core as their only light. The emergency power seemed to be intermittent, with lights and consoles flashing.

The energy weapons seemed to overload several consoles, which exploded in showers of sparks and debris.

Ellie ducked at the sparks and felt several that landed on her and she muttered to herself and then turned to follow the woman, considering throwing a wrench at her.

The woman, seemingly not phased by the attack, turned and walked towards the exit.

-GM SEMAJ

Wiles drew his phaser as he stumbled, eyes widened in shock from the impact and the unexpectedly harsh expression he had received. “Halt!” Wiles yelled as he aimed unsteadily at the woman’s back. “Go no further!”

Two fingers signaled to his assistant division officer, NEnsign Astin, to block the exit to engineering, leaving the woman standing between two Starfleet security officers, both with their phasers drawn.

(Ensign Osten, Security Division Three Officer)

A message beeped through =^= Sickbay to Engineering: Can you send up a small repair crew? We’ve lost power and a couple of consols have blown.=^=

Lt. (j.g.) Janvier, CMO

Ellie looked around “Gavin, Esther, get to sickbay on the double.” She said =^=Chief, there are two engineers headed your way.=^= She said and then spun around in her chair “If you fire those weapons in here, don’t hit the core or we have more trouble than we do right now.” She said as she left security to deal with the unidentified woman and began working on determining damage and getting systems back up and running.

Orin was at a console, before many others had a chance to react, trying to scan readouts and damage indicators. He opened his senses to the ship hoping it could tell him where the problems were.

• Orin, CE

Ellie looked at Orin “Are they insane. What are they going to do?” She asked “Blow us out of space?” Ellie touched her comm badge =^=Bridge can you lock onto the intruder and beam them to the brig?=^=
