Chris pressed the comm button for the entire ship. [O] This is Captain Taggart. As you all know we just resupplied. We are in route to the Klingon boarder to help other ships there. We are one of a very few of battle cruisers. That makes us a high priority target. We have orders to defend ourselves and others but will not make the first move. This will be dangerous and for that reason I am now ordering you all into combat mode. That means everyone wears and gets a weapon. Lockdown procedures are in place. No one is allowed to go anywhere alone and that includes the latrine. I hear that their ships can cloak like a Romulans. These are a warrior race that we are fighting against rained killers that do combat as much as we drink coffee and tra. Be safe and be sharp. Taggart out[O]

It was about 30 minutes into their trip not long after the CO’s comm to the ship’s crew when a beep over at science alerted folks that something odd had been picked up closing from the starboard bow.

A check then showed it was a high energy proton scanning wave, origin unknown with no visible source. Engineering then would be showing signs of the warp field destabilizing and with a shudder the Chernov dropped from warp! The scanning wave continued to admit around them now oddly making the ship shudder and the shields flare.

Chris almost fell since he was standing behind his chair. After catching himself he yelled out. “Yellow Alert! Helms! What happened? What the heck was that?”

He then pressed the comm on his chair. [O] Engineering. Dr. Reid. What just happened and can you fix it?[O]

“Tactical. Can you or Science adjust the shields to harmonize and take this beating?”

Captain Chris Taggart CO

[O]Captain. The warp field was completely destabilised. I think I can get it back. I have… four different plans at the moment.[C]

-Dr Alex Reid, CE

The proton beam continued to destabilize the warp bubble and the shields fluctuate more and more with a shudder they suddenly failed suddenly a white-blue light seemed to pass through the bridge and presumably the ship. As it passed over each person a body twitching pain would pass through them and everyone would collapse into unconsciousness.
