It was a quiet evening and the ship was travelling smoothly at Warp 5. They were on Day 2 of their trip from Starbase 157 to Lorillia, where they were to pick up a high profile virologist (one Doctor Siala Modal) who would be working on the ship for several weeks as the Ogawa went to Karantine to develop some advanced pandemic protocols. These were mostly precautionary, but given the recent viral outbreak the crew dealt with on Carraya, Starfleet Medical was concerned about issues on the Romulan side of the border continuing to creep into Federation space unchecked.

The warp core thrummed with energy as the ship moved along smoothly until the ship lurched heavily portside, sending any crew who weren’t holding on to anything, off their feet and out of seats. The lights had flickered and went out briefly until emergency backups kicked in, casting shadows in engineering in the half-light from what was usual. The warp core was now dark, inoperative.

Mark shot up from his chair behind desk. He rushed out into the main compartment. “What the HELL is going on in here? =/\=All Engineers to stations. Repeat, all Engineers to stations.=/\= He rushed to the nearest console. “What happened?… What in Jesus name happened?” he whispered.
