=/\= I might suggest seeing if there is some way inside the pyramid if possible, further investigation is obviously needed, and I’ll be heading over with my own away team to this sphere structure to see what we find. =/\= Captain Rogers suggested.

=/\= I will do that. I look forward to speaking again as soon as I have something more tangible to report. =/\= Glen said

“Seems the whole system is an enigma.” Kord said to no-one in particular.

“We seem have found the right location anyhow,” replied Glen. “I was actually expecting to be looking for weeks and not find a single thing.”

=^=Captain, are you receiving these readings? I suggest we dock the shuttle and try to enter the pyramid.=^= came in a message from the shuttle.

=/\= Yes, Tinga. The video feed is particularly clear. I was going to suggest that you try to enter, provided that you think it is safe. Captain Rogers has found similar energy readings from a similar structure inside a sphere wrapped up in a comet. He is also going to investigate more closely. They might be two parts of the same whole. Take it easy and slowly. We will watch your progress from here. =/\= Glen replied.

=^=Acknowledged sir. I’m curious to find out if that theory is correct now.=^=

Glen would watch their progress from the comfort of the Captain’d chair. He wished now that he had sent a security officer along with the team, but he kept his thoughts to himself so as not to cause concern among the rest of the Bridge crew.

Nkosenye unknowingly shared the Captain’s thoughts, but likewise kept them to himself. He monitored the shuttle’s trajectory as it descended into the unknown.

Kord watched as his senses remained connected to the ship.

Glen made a mental note: when he next refurbished the shuttlecraft, he would ask for a site-to-site transporter to be retro-fitted on board each.

Meanwhile sensors beeped in alarm as over by one of the auxiliary stations NE Atila gasped, “..Um sir?” She said. Turning the group on the bridge would find that on top of her console had appeared a small fish bowl! “..I…I was just thinking how I missed my pet Garmin a uh fish I had before he died before we left, and ....well here he is!” She said.

Glen slowly shook his head, and mumbled “Fish and Ships! We need some-fin, some defence against this weirdness.”

“It would be rather impossible to have the crew not think at all. It’s not int the nature of most sentient beings.

“It isn’t a question of thinking, but rather their imagination and daydreams,” replied Glen. “But if it is what is required to keep this ship safe, I’m prepared to sedate all non-essential personnel!”

Energy readings fading from around the bowl indicated similar readings to the now large cat on deck 2, matching the Finite Stone. Another hail also then came in from the Avenger relayed from their away team.

“Acknowledge their hail and open a channel!” Glen told the stand-in Communication officer.

At the same time, Glen watched as the shuttle team appeared to have discovered a way into the pyramid. He hoped they would prioritise their safety first.

=/\= Tinga, it is very dark inside. Unless you get some lighting we will no longer be able to follow your progress. =/\= Glen told the shuttle team.

With that done William returned to the Bridge “Feline secured, Sir. I’ve asked Security to keep an eye outside the door and we have some sensors feeding me info constantly” He reported slightly disheartened that he couldn’t do any more to help the Pest Control Officer of the Merrie.

=^=Already on it sir.=^=
