Hazel under the Alias of Commander Holmes was silent for a moment before saying, “I would prepare damage control teams and medical teams.” She said simply as the object disappeared and reappeared again randomly at a different vector except this time now in visible range and gaining speed on the Leviathan.

Iphigenia stared at Hazel for a moment.

Kaylin reacted as quickly as she could to the changes in the approaching ship’s trajectory. But she hadn’t seen anything like it before.

“Captain, its movements are too unpredictable,” she reported, her voice tinged with frustration, “Evasive maneuvers are… well they just aren’t working.”

Iphigenia nodded at Lieutenant Wilde, gripping the edge of her command chair until her knuckles turned white. “I understand, Lieutenant. Keep our position steady. If we can’t outmaneuver them, then we will have to face them. Make sure those shields are at fully capacity” She paused then said, “Make sure Medical and Damage control are on standby.”
“On it for Medical,” Brad called, leaving the CIC for sickbay now that there were multiple senior officers at their posts.

“Thank you, Brad,” Iphigenia acknowledged. She knew the challenges ahead would test them all, but there was a strange comfort in the familiarity of her crew’s dedication.

“Commander Holmes,” she called, her voice sharper than intended. She forced herself to soften her tone. “You seem to have experience or know what we are dealing with here. Tell me, be straight what are we dealing with here? Can we predict their next move?”

Abbey stood eyeing the Captain for a moment. Within her ear, the built-in AI receiver activated, providing a subtle yet firm reminder.

“Commander you’ve already stretched protocol significantly. It would be unwise to assist the crew any further than necessary,” the AI advised, its tone calm but insistent.

She didn’t give any indication that she was communicating with another lifeform, but she chose to ignore its advice. “The ship is jumping in and out of a temporal slipstream, shifting between different timelines and parallel universes. The Continuum Phase Engine, which enables this, was developed thanks to an ancient, unknown artifact whimsically dubbed the ‘Temporal Teapot.’” She rolled her eyes. “Don’t look at me, I didn’t discover it. We’re in the RTF, the organisation that deals with the insane. The Temporal Teapot has the peculiar ability to pour not just liquid but also glimpses of different timelines. Whoever found it managed to reverse-engineer its mechanics, leading to groundbreaking advancements in temporal navigation and the creation of the Continuum Phase Engine.”

Iphigenia listened to Commander Holmes’s explanation. The ship’s erratic behavior, its jumps through timelines and parallel universes, was unlike anything she had encountered before. The very concept of a “Temporal Teapot” seemed absurd, yet the evidence was right before her eyes, causing her to question the fabric of their reality.
Iphigenia knew her duty was to protect her crew and ship, no matter how extraordinary the circumstances. The Temporal Teapot and its Continuum Phase Engine were clearly beyond conventional Starfleet knowledge, and the danger they posed was undeniable.
Taking a deep breath, Iphigenia scratched her forhead, then she addressed Commander Holmes, her voice measured but clearly filled with urgency. “Commander, if this Temporal Teapot is responsible for the ship’s movements, how can we predict its behavior or mitigate the threat? What do we need to do to stabilize our situation and ensure the safety of the Leviathan?”

As she spoke, her mind analyzed potential strategies. Temporal anomalies were notoriously unpredictable, and the thought of navigating through them was daunting. But Iphigenia had faced formidable challenges before, and she was determined to lead her crew through this one as well. After a moment she said, even though there was hesitation in her voice, “This… Temporal Teapot’s abilities are not entirely understood, I am sure even by those who reverse-engineered it. However, we know that it draws power from the ship’s systems, causing it to phase in and out of our timeline. If we can disrupt that power source or isolate it, we might stabilize the ship’s position long enough to take further action.”

Hazel paused for a moment considering the plan of action, she had already altered the timeline past that of no return by allowing her presence be known. Everyone from now on was unknown to her. “That sounds like a good idea but I can not say for certain as it’s… never been done before.” She explained.

“Never been done before,” she repeated softly, more to herself than anyone else, letting the words hang in the air. The challenge was unprecedented, but Iphigenia had always believed in the strength and resilience of her crew.
“We’re not going to let some teapot dictate our fate,” she muttered under her breath. She activated the ship-wide intercom. “All hands, this is Captain Henao. We are about to encounter a ship who has the ability to create temporal disturbances. Maintain your posts and follow protocols for emergency situations. Damage control teams, be prepared for immediate deployment.”
With the announcements made, she cut the intercom and turned back to Holmes. “Commander, I know there is not much we can do now, but wait, however if…after we survive this encounter we will need to prepare as much as we can for the next attack, can you assist our engineering team in understanding the temporal teapot’s mechanisms?”
