Mark’s voice popped over the comms at that moment. =/\=Pierce to Jang’xi I’ve found some sort of biological trail. I’ve called down to science for someone a little more versed in these things, carrying a tricorder on the right settings.=/\=

Ensign Mark Pierce, Engineer

Michael heard Pierce’s call for Jang’xi and the earlier conversation between the Captain, CE and Chief of Staff, as he continued to run scans on the systems.

OOC: Linds, this was the thread I was meaning, properly reading back through it just now, I think I may be trying to do something here that doesn’t need doing. But, I’m here anyway :)
-Russ

OOC: We’ll make it work. :)
IC:
The systems Easter was examining showed themselves to be in good condition. Pierce seemed to have found the relay issue between Deck 3 and 4, but there were the odd relay between there and the cargo bay on Deck 7 (where previous issues, now fixed had started) that were showing less than ideal power levels.

Bump

Willow looked over from her conversation regarding the power fluctuations and approached Easter. “Any further forward Lieutenant?” She asked.

“Deck 7, the cargo bay, still something up with the relays there,” Michael replied, “I’d best see what I can do to fix it. I’ll run a final check here to confirm I do need to go there, to fix the problem, however.”

Michael disappeared back into the guts of the machine and ran the appropriate diagnostic to determine if he could be lazy and fix the problem from here or if he’d have to go to Deck 7 to deal with the problem with the relays.

-MAKE, ENG

There seemed to be a series of relays on each deck that were working intermittently. They seemed to form a path connecting where Pierce was working between Decks 3 and 4 and Deck 7.

Willow nodded and watched a moment. As Michael worked she checked the readings herself and frowned. Tracing her finger around the pathway that seemed to be indicated she frowned again.

“Lieutenant what do you make of this?” She asked Michael.

Arun entered the room, his usual calm poised demeanour somewhat off. He was frowning as he strode quickly towards the group, his black eyes trimmed on the Captain.

Mark’s voice piped in over the comms =/\=Pierce to Engineering. We located a life form. A… gastropod, and some eggs in this area. They’ve been taken down to the labs.=/\=

-Ensign Mark Pierce, Engineer

Najma responded directly to Pierce. “My officer is working with a civilian scientist and they have the creature and it offspring under control. How are those relays? Any idea what is causing them? Let me know if I can help.”

He skipped pleasentries and just gave a curd nod to the group “The creature? Offspring? Captain, I belive it is time to raise the intruder alert. We belive there are not only sentient but telepathic alien beings on the ship. Melaia and Anisha have detected a telepathic presence on deck 3 where they are searching for it … together with your XO, who hasn’t raised an alarm yet.” he said, and the critique in his voice was hard to miss.

It was clear that Arun was very protective of his twin, and the fact that the XO had not yet followed protocol made him angry. Especially when telepathy was involved. They knew all too well what it could be used for. Don’t go there brother Anisha thought. You know you loose your poise when you think about that past. Center your thoughts in the now. and he did. Anisha had always been better able to deal with that gruesome episode in their past. Probably because he had taken the brunt of the telepathic abuse for her.
