Goodwin bit his lip nervously as he nodded. “Uh, yes ma’am, I have had some training…” he replied as he felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead as the realisation dawned on him that he was going to have to make a meaningful contribution. He pushed his nerves aside and put his game face on. He may have been hopelessly clumsy, useless at talking to people and as timid as a mouse but if there was one thing he was comfortable with it was science. He mentally rolled up his sleeves and looked across at T’Pris. “What do we know so far?” he asked with almost an air of confidence about him.

“That we appear to be caught in a spatial ‘pocket’ of some sort.” She said pointing out the readings that Tressex had sent down from the bridge. “Can you glean anything else out of these readings?” She asked.

Harry peered at the scan readings and looked for any kind of indication of the type of anomaly they were dealing with. He quickly checked the readings to see if there was any interstellar gases present which could indicate a cosmic string or for any gravimetric interference. He then looked to see if there was any indication of chronitons or neutrinos that might suggest a spatial rift.

Scans from the bridge showed that space was suddenly not what one would expect. It existed in a state of flux and they were clearly in subspace. Furthermore, their high-res sensors which normally extend five lightyears, stopped short, mapping an ovoid shape roughly 2 lightyears long, 1 lightyear wide and 1 lightyear ‘high’. The edges of the this pocket in subspace were thick with subspace distortions, graviton shears and spatial sinkholes, with the Ogawa not too far from an edge. In the middle of the pocket, things seemed calmer, even if everything in this realm was likely unpredictable.

Harry peered at the scan results, fascinated by the complexities of the anomaly. “I’ve not seen anything like this before…” he murmured as he brought up the specifics. “…like a ship in a bottle…” he mused quietly as he noticed the readings from the centre. “Perhaps we should move more into the centre of the disturbance? There appear to be less distortions there, it might give us some space to think without getting battered by shears & sinkholes?” he suggested then worried he was overstepping his mark. “Um, I mean, it’s just an idea…someone else might have a better one…” he trailed off.

T’Pris ran her long, delicate fingers over her own console.”It appeared that the helm tried to move us to the middle but the navigational computer seems down and we have no warp bubble.” She reported as she studied the readings that Goodwin was seeing. She didn’t have the same training as he but she could make sense of some of it.
“Are we in subspace?” She asked confused.”How would we have been shoved into subspace? Do you have any idea how this may have happened?” She asked Goodwin to see if he could give any hypothesis.

Harry nodded as he studied the readouts. “Yes ma’am, I believe we are in subspace…as to how we got here…” he scrolled through the console looking for sensor readings before they appeared in the void they were in. In particular he looked to see if there was any tetryon radiation or omega molecules that had been recorded. “We must have encountered some kind of anomaly that pulled us in…” Harry mused as he looked through the readings. “How much power do we have?” he asked.

Overall, while there had been some damage to the ship, power seemed stable. Engineering had pulled power from all non-essential systems though, to make up the lack of it needed to power engines, shields, life support and other critical systems.

“Power is stable though all non essential has been shut down.” T’Pris murmurmed as her hands ran over her console checking power readings. “That is an increase of power needs though, why would we need extra power to remain here? Is this space causing stress on our systems or shields?” She murmured wondering if the space was squeezing their shields or draining them somehow? That could be pivotal in coming up with theories of how to survive or leave this space.

The sensors showed large numbers of tetryon particles within the subspace bubble, on top of the unpredictable gravimetric distortions.

~Mischief Maker

There was nothing putting extra pressure on the ship, though the unstable nature of this part of subspace made it more dangerous to be in. But the ship itself had been, as previously shown, damaged upon its entry into the bubble and many systems weren’t functioning properly. Power re-distribution proceeded accordingly.

Harry thought for a moment and then shook his head. “I don’t think we’ll be able to break free without more power but then I’m not an engineer…” he mused as he studied the results. “I wonder if there’s anything out there that could boost our power?” he wondered as he started another set of scans.
