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.

=^=Already on it sir.=^=

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.

“My concern is…” replied Glen, “…did a crew member imagine Ginger being a large cat and then the Reality Stone made that come true? Or… and that is quite bad enough… or, did Ginger imagine himself to be that large? Which would pose even further problems for us going forward.”

William thought for a moment then allowed himself to stiffen even more. “Interesting thought Captain, I don’t think that we can know for certain until later but the latter thought is disturbing yes.” He did his best to stay in analytical mode, if Will were in charge then his more imaginative side would cause all sorts of problems which they had no time for. “I wonder though, can this be focused. Could I think hard about wanting a specific item and it would appear or are wandering thoughts what triggers the event.” Thinking back he hadn’t caused any reality changes he was aware of. If he had time he could experiment more.

“I don’t know that either,” replied Glen, “but I’ve got to wonder that, used as a weapon, should anything this powerful be allowed to exist at all? In anyone’s hands it is dangerous and uncontrollable. In the wrong hands, used deliberately and intentionally, well, the consequences don’t bear thinking about!”

“A potentially powerful tool indeed.” Kord said.

The channel for a moment was static filled from the Avenger, before it cleared up. On the screen was a handheld comm relayed image of Captain Rogers and his five other members of his away team. What little behind him Glen and the bridge crew could see was a black metal or rock like series of panels with small 1 inch circular holes in it. =/\= Captain Glen! Can you make out things behind me? We’ve been getting some interference from this comet station now and then in fits and spits. =/\= He asked.

Once Glen replied Rogers nodded, =/\= This station is oddly bigger than it appears on the outside, perhaps influence of the Finite Stone piece somewhere here. We’ve covered almost 4 kilometers of flooring over three large arena like floors. Most were open ended, a few pillars of nondescript black metal we can’t identify. We tried our phasers on it but it reflected back at us, thankfully no injuries though Ensign Martin got out of the way in time.=/\= He said.

There was another round of static on the screen which soon cleared up complete with pictures and rough scans of the black metal Roger’s mentioned. =/\= You may want to tell your shuttle team to watch out for this, in case they get any ideas of shooting down where their at.=/\= He suggested.

After another pause he continued, =/\= Right now though we found what seems like a crude control tube room, these circular holes seem to match binary coding we think, using crude metal rods of various colors to configure and change some kind of computer network we think. Nothing in the Avenger’s records seems to match this, not even what little we got on the Finite Stone. Anything on your end? =/\= He asked.

OOC: Will assume you check your records just to keep this moving!

Checks in their computer data banks actually turned up something similar, though not an exact match the tube/hole configuration with colors did seem similar in setup to those used by the Ancients during their trip to Andromeda those two years ago. While again not an exact match it might be possible they could provide, if they wished, Captain Roger’s some clues and help from their own databanks.
