Okay, then see to it. Go to medical and see if you can get a report on what caused the suicide. Also, see if there have been any other issues with the crew.” I will remain here and see if I can keep working on this problem answered Michael.

William opened his mouth as if to say something but decided against it, nodded, turned around and left the bridge.

Turning to the engineering officer he continued, “Start working on a bypass to see if we can get the ship up and running again. I don’t want to be caught sitting here with our pants down if something else comes up” ordered the Commander.

Lt. Commander Michael Sideman, XO

Bridie nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’ll see what I can get done from here before heading to Engineering.” She went back to the console and worked on the bypass commands to see if she could do more than half turn the ship.

Diagnostics were run on weapons, shields and navigation to see how much she could access directly and how many she would need to get around ‘remotely’ with general commands.

Mwezi didn’t like this. He didn’t like that one of his officers had been effected by this. He didn’t like that NE Peters was dead. He’d been fond of the Helm officer. He didn’t like that it had happened so fast that he hadn’t been able to react. He was still kicking himself for that. He was supposed to be better than that!

Seeing the look at Mwezi’s face the commander walked over and said, “Hey, there was nothing anyone could have done; it took everyone by surprise. Let’s just see what we can do from here, okay?”

Lt. Commander Michael Sideman, XO

Bridie’s efforts would yield at least that weapons and shields functioned normally. Thrusters and impulse engines could be powered from the engineering console. Warp was temporarily out of the question.

-Fate

While everyone had been working on the problem for a while the Commander asked,

“What is the progress on getting us moving?”

Bridie shook her head and sighed. “I can tell you weapons and shields are operating normally. And it looks like you have thrusters and impulse engines, Sir. But there is no way I can work around it. We don’t have Warp capability right now. I’m heading to engineering now to see how much better I can do down there.” She headed for the lift. “I’ll send someone up to man the console on this end and see what we can do on the other.”

“Very well, Chief.. .keep me informed, please” responded Sideman.

He did not want to the crew to know but he was very worried.

BUMP

From the Captain’s chair came the inquiry…”Engineering....status please.”

Lt. Commander Michael Sideman, XO

An alert beeped from science that the patch of stellar radiation was now showing phenomena on the other side. Almost like another space. The NE at science relayed this to Cmdr Sideman.

Sideman asked the NE…”is this another universe? Are we caught in its wake?”

“I… don’t know sir.” the NE replied

=^=Engineering to Bridge. Computer is showing a CO level code was the cause of the lock out and low power order. The only thing we can think is to perhaps reboot the system. I’ll try and work on something else. I don’t know how long it would leave us vulnerable.=^=

Responding Sideman said, =^= Chief lets try to the reboot…we need to get this ship up and running.=^=

(Crossed to engineering)

As the command came, she merely replied. =^=Copy… starting reboot sequence now.=^= She then notified the ship. =^=All hands prepare for maintenance reboot. Emergency power on line in 3…2…1…=^=

The XO stood there as the ship went dark for a minute and then was back on. The Red lights from emergency power came on (think of Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan) and the computer flickered. The commander wondered how long it would take before the 2nd Officer of the Captain called the bridge to find out ‘what’s happening.’ Sideman asked over the intercom =^= Chief, status on ships power.”

Lt. Commander Michael Sideman, XO

Bathed in red light, the bridge of the Chernov sat still. As suspicions started to grow that something had gone wrong with the reboot, the ship came back online. As the viewscreen returned to life, it showed what appeared to be a gap in space itself. With something emerging from it.

-Fate

Bridie smiled and nodded before contacting the Bridge. =^=Engineering to bridge… you should have controls back. Full tactical could take a bit longer. But we shouldn’t be sitting ducks anymore.=^= She was pretty sure the tactical would come up in faster time once it started the program.

Giving out quick orders the XO responded, “Someone tell me what is coming right at us and do it fast…”

Commander Sideman, XO

“It looks like… people.” Said the NE at science.

-Fate

“Can we move away??” Mwezi asked, glancing over towards Bridie. He hovered over the tactical station, waiting for his controls to return.
