While still overseeing repairs of their shuttle from the last trip it made, Mike heard a call being made to engineering

=^=Engineering, this is Nakuto. Are you aware of any key system failures at this time? Particularly involving our diagnostics? =^=

=^= Stone here. I’m not aware of any failure. I’m in the hangar but i can go and check. Can you elaborate what seems to be the problem?=^=

Glitches happened daily. While most were harmless, the few critical could mean huge problems, so checking them was still necessary.

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

Stone would hear the thud of her fist against the console, before Nakuto roared in reply, =^= Our systems are lying to me! My ears hear the alarm yet they deny its activation. My eyes see standard space yet they insist we are at warp! I am no fool, Mr Stone, and yet our computers seem determined to take me for one!=^=

• Kara Nakuto (Consultant)

Kristi was in engineering as the alarms went off and frowned looking around. Everything seemed to be in visual working order. Going to the console, she shook her head and laughed. “Not going warp anymore? I wonder if the warp core is aware of that?” She heard the comm and was about to answer when Mike did. After his reply, she came over Nakuto’s comm. =^=Engineering here, Ma’am. This is Ensign O’Larria. I am showing us having dropped, but the warp core still reads 4.3. I’m working on it now.=^= The line went dead as the Ensign apparently went on to do what she said.

“That’s something new, I haven’t even heard about a case like this.” Mike replied to Kristi.

He was worried, even though he tried to hide it. It was moments like these, when he had no clue, that he loved having Kristi around.

“If display shows normal space, then we dropped out of warp, but the core still doesn’t know about it. I wonder where all the extra energy is going if not to the nacells?”

Lt. Mike Stone, CE

After a few moments stalled out of warp, the ship itself seemed to bend and twist. “Warning: warp core breach imminent. 30 seconds to detonation.”

“Warning: warp core breach imminent. Detonation in progress.”

“Warning: warp core has breached. 20 seconds past detonation.”

Then everything went black.

Mike touched around and found a small torch in his toolbox. “Well if we detonated that means we’re dead. I’m not sure where we landed though. I see Viking still around me, so that would mean hell. But since you’re still with me, does that mean we’re in heaven?” He said, trying to lighten the mood a bit.

He stepped closer to Kristi and gave her a light peck on her cheeks. “Let’s go to engineering, we’ll better see what the situation is.”

He tapped his comm, checking if he could call anyone from engineering.
