At this point, SEAI strode into the room, “I do hope that you were not going to start without me. I would hate to waste everyones time catching me up.” Inwardly, she cursed the ensigns who always seemed to make her late for these meetings. Taking a seat next to Kalika, she looked up at the projection, “I assume that this is something other than movie night, as I do have important things to do.”

SEAI (CMO)

((just fyi… Kalika is against the wall by the windows, away from the pulsing stone on the table and in a corner keeping an odd eye on the entire room… Meli))

Peter’s eyes narrowed as the Android entered the room. He was instinctively mistrustful of non-organics and his few interactions with it left little for him to like. ” As he looked at her sit down he brought up her file from memory and read over it once more. He looked back at the gemstone and the physical maps once more. Something was unnerving him.

Viktoryia gave the Android a warning glare and then continued. “We have been ordered to patrol the Casa de Diablo nebula. There have been rumors flying about strange things happening to ships as they pass through the nebula, and the Admrial wants to know wants to know why!”

Captain Ravenfall

“What kind of ‘strange things’? And through or by?” Sanx asked curiously.

Sanx, CSO

Nevin refrained from asking if they were strange by most starfleet standards or strange by the Viking’s standard. He remained silent waiting for the CO’s response to Sanx. he was as much in the dark as the DHs that were present.

Mike just rubbed his temples, mumbling slightly displeased. But as he thought about it, how much wierder could things get on the Viking. Perhaps it would even be an improvement.

“I take it we are to patrol until we find out what’s so strange about that nebula? Maybe not naming it House of the devil would be benificial. I suggest Rainbow unicorn nebula or Happy bunnies jumping around nebula.”

Names had quite an effect on people. Like naming their ship Viking. One would immediately thing of strong warriors when in fact USS Flying Rust Bucket would be a much more apropriate name.

Peter half smiled at the Engineers joke “I think that might be a considerable Misnomer Chief”

She had nodded to SEAI as she walked in and shook her head at the new assignment. Kalika had to stifle her snicker as Mike’s accent added a more playful tone to the odd suggestions for the nebula. She then shook her head at the CO. “So because it has all the ear markings of a black hole or worm hole phenomenon, the Viking is sent to investigate? Is it because we are already beset by the strangeness of the universe that Starfleet believes ‘we’ won’t be affected?” Her voice had gone from mildly amused to almost outraged in the span of a couple sentences.

Realizing her outburst, she bit her lip and crossed her arms. “My apologies, Captain. But it angers me that the ship with the most damage, the least amount of stability and probably ‘not’ the closest, is the one being sent. I don’t like it one bit. I just wanted to say that.” She closed her mouth so tightly she almost pursed her lips. She was glad to only be half Orion at times like this. Had she been a full blooded emerald descendant, her emotions would have set off her pheromones. As it was, they were tightly controlled, as always as she leaned on the wall, arms crossed once more.

Peter leaned back in his seat, looked at the Captain then back at the Security Chief with a neutral look on his face “When we return to Spacedock Then we shall have a frank discussion with the upper echelons. Until then we have a mission” He indicated the map and the glowing jewel “And the unknow awaits.”

SEAI leaned back in her chair, “I recommend that we outfit all crew with self-scanners for the duration of our time in the nebula. I have read reports of different experiences inside of them, and I would like to know if something is happening to our crew sooner rather than later.”

SEAI (CMO)

Ooc: Some reports Vailable to the heads would be as such. People having hallucinations, higher than normal adrenaline levels, friendly fire sceenarios, hysteria, massive depression, suicides, etc.

Last known ship to breach the edge returned without a soul of a crew starting at 200.

((Ooc… oh lord… Viking goes ‘Event Horizon’ lol… and as to the ‘issues’ … isn’t the crew already experiencing those? lol))

Kalika sighed. They were going in. What concerned her were rumors that the signs exhibited by those in the nebula were also symptoms the crew showed when they were in space no where near the space anomaly. She was speechless. But she glanced at the CO and nodded. “Into the unknown it is, Captain!” She smiled and gave the woman a look she hoped would convey her support.

Mike leaned to Kalika and whispered to her.. “I think the answer to why us is… we’re the most expandable.”

It didn’t bother him too much. Someone had to check it out and no matter what anyone said, the USS Viking crew always pulled through no matter what mess they gotten in.

“I’ll have some of my engineers recheck our sensors, the deflector dish and have probes on standby. If there’s a devil in that nebula, i’m sure we’ll find it.”
He just hoped the devil won’t find them first.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

Peter read over some of the reports “I suggest a complete security lockdown on all firearms, personal and otherwise. With reports like these, it may be better.” he looked at the newly promoted Security Chief “With the low numbers we have right now I’ll assign my Intelligence team to you for this mission, We won’t be doing any analyses until after this is done.” He put his hands on the desk, crossing his fingers. He looked at the Mecical Android “Do we have enough scanners onboard for this large an effort?”
