“How do you find the ship, now that you’ve had time to settle in?” asked Glen. “The Mariner style, Class-VII Warp core is a little different being mounted horizontally along the center of the ship. You had some concerns about the power output that Daniel wants to achieve too. All I can say is that she has never let me down yet!”

About this point there was a knock on the closed door, through the window pane they could see it was Daniel.

“That’s almost supernatural!” exclaimed Glen, and he raised his eyebrows. “I mention his name and he suddenly appears!”

“Hi Daniel,” Glen said. “The door is not locked, please come inside.”

Daniel gave a curt nod and entered. Addressing the Captain first, he said. “..Captain Glen it is good to see your crew has found a means to stem the anomalies that effected you. I also have on my way here noted two other of your NE’s falling similarly victim, they are currently on their way to your Sickbay. Hopefully your medical doctor can offer them a similar stop gap measure as yourself..” He stated.

Glen had not been aware that anyone else was affected and was shocked. Of course, there were other crew on those missions through time, other crew had visited the Ancient’s planet, and had been in contact with Elder technology. It made no sense that the Captain was the single person affected.

Turning then to address Tia, “..I have finalized all preparations for running the device at you and Captain Glen’s order. We have also reached a safe distance in space where nothing should interfere. When do you wish to start?” he said, finalizing his question to both.

Glen waited for Tia to answer. He wasn’t sure if she wanted anymore tests run first, not that he thought that the simulations could ever replicate the real world exactly. He thought that he had convinced Tia of why they must run the machine and correct the wayward temporal streams, he just needed to convince himself that it was right too.

Not realizing he had the same doubts as her, she nodded and sighed. “I guess we better get this started.” She rose up and waved to the Captain. “You should stay here. You’re comfortable and have coffee. And to be honest, I doubt there is anything you can do from the bridge once he throws the switch.” She smiled. “I’ll have Kord get up and go to the bridge while we begin the checklist.” She nodded to Daniel. “I’ll be out in a moment. Will you please pull up the procedure on console 5 Echo. It’s closest to the core and will be easier to monitor from there. Once it’s up, you can go to the cargo bay and use the console in the bay to run it from ground zero so to speak. I’ll monitor from up here.” She nodded to Daniel once more.

”..Of course Lieutenant, I’ll get things prepared..” He said simply taking his leave

Once he was gone she looked to the Captain. “Please, Sir… stay here. I can give you my desk console if you want, but I’d rather have you close to me with that contraption,” she nodded to the bag. “Once Daniel is gone, I’ll have you join me out there. Then I can monitor you to be sure I can cut the power if it looks like the bag is failing and we are losing you.” She smiled. “I don’t think Kord would look kindly on me losing the Captain because the time to relay problems from the Bridge took too long.” She smiled. “Agreed?” She crossed her arms with that look of stubborn determination on her face. But her eyes were also filled with concern. She wouldn’t be happy to lose him, either.

While she waited for the answer, she tapped her badge. =^=Tia to Kord… can you come to engineering immediately, please?=^=

It was only a few minutes and Kord entered Engineering.

“I guess it’s time.” Kord said looking at the device and at Daniel.

Kord still had his suspicions but the ship and crew were committed. It was do or die and Kord hoped it wouldn’t be the former.

Before the Captain could speak up, Tia smiled and nodded to the coffee. “Grab a cup. I need to ask if you can take the bridge while I keep the Captain down here?” She glanced at the Captain and smiled. “No, not talking about you like you aren’t here. But I think we need to agree that with that,” she nodded to his backpack, “you’re better off where we can monitor you.” She looked to the Captain with pleading eyes. “Please, Sir…”
