As Nkosenye was talking he saw the vague outline of what seemed a Terran monkey hanging as if from nothing in mid air above and behind Kord’s head, as if swinging from branches it landed on the ground 10 ft away half inside a storage crate before vanishing from sight. Evidently this was another one of those temporal distortions that had been mentioned earlier.

Nkosenye watched the monkey vanish and then looked at Kord. “Um, sir. I believe I just experienced one of the temporal distortions. Well, either that… or there is a monkey with a malfunctioning cloaking device on board the ship.” he said.

Kord arched and eyebrow.

“Is it going to interfere with your assistance on this project?” Kord asked.

Nkosenye glared at the space where the monkey was / had been. “No, sir. Merely a comment on the event. As you are dealing with quantum and sub-space fields, I thought you should know.” And he looked back to the device. “Is the Gravitron Projector ready to be placed?” he asked, making sure the housing had enough space to accommodate the device without interfering with any of the remaining components.

“We just walked into the shuttle bay, nothing’s ready yet.” Kord said with a smile, “You go get the graviton projector and I’ll take care of the TSD Coils.”

Kord turned to head for Engineering storage and turned back for a moment.

“Don’t forget to report on that ghost monkey.” he said then stepped out the door.

Nkosenye nodded in acknowledgement, and left head to get the required equipment.

About thirty minutes later Kord arrived back in the shuttle bay with a hover dolly carrying two TSD coils, a box of tricorders, and a couple of large cylinders. He began setting up the work space for the task at hand.

As the project got underway Kord busied himself mounting the TSD coils in the cylinders and calibrating the subspace harmonic frequencies.

Once Nkosenye returned with the equipment the following time passed and eventually Kord would have his things nearing completion. Just as some final adjustments would be being done a faint light rumbling went through the ship, but no alarms had gone off or calls of red alert or such so evidently things were ‘ok’.

Meanwhile during this time some NE’s from engineering came in with a mobile force field emitter, NE Busts’em Up looked around, “..Someone say they saw a ghost?” he said, “..our future boys and girls on that other ship says these emitters we modified should help dampen them..” he explained.

Kord looked up from his work.

“Our Security Chief will be able to help you out with that.” he said simply before getting back to work.

More time passed, then Glen called from the Bridge. =/\= Kord and Mthunzi. This is Captain Glen. Progress report, please? =/\=

=^=We have one finished and a second one that will be ready in about twenty minutes.=^=

=/\= Good. I’m getting bored on the Bridge. All of our guests have returned home. And Bre has gone into Labour! =/\=

Nkosenye lifted the graviton projector into the housing with a grunt and muttered something in Zulu under his breath. “We need to give birth ourselves, before the Serpents arrive.” he said, gesturing to the assembly before them.

Remi watched from the main window of the ready room as the Command officers continued their task. Whatever they were working on they didn’t seem to include him. He figured he could sit around and do nothing, or he could offer his services. Stepping out from the ready room Remi approached Kord.
“Commander, you look like you could use some help. What can I do?”
