Ok thought Mikel. The XO had not jumped him yet and shut him down. So there must be curiosity or doubt there somewhere. The ball was in the Captains side of the playing field now. The COS as she was currently did not look very official and her comments did not help her case. Petrov would play the high road for now.

Petrov CE

Ahearn shook his head and looked down at the table. A soft laugh escaped his lips, and he then leaned far back in his chair and looked at the ceiling. “I find it fascinating that we have come this far with a crew so adamantly set on fighting with each other and keeping grudges.” in his whimsical-sounding Irish accent. He then looked at the table in general. “So are we going to try’an find a way to fix our prepubescent crew and get back to dealing with whatever in the Nine Hells we are supposed to be dealing with? Or are we gonna just sit around and wait for one of us to pull a shiv and then see what body parts land where? ‘Cause honestly, I tink I’d rather just head back to my lab and let you all sort out your drama.”

Ahearn, CSO

“Well isn’t that my point Lt. What are we supposed to be doing here? Because if we cannot truthfully answer that one then I think we are stuck at square one.” Petrov said looking at the CO. “Then why does the separate problems wrapped into one solution. There is no proof they are entwined. We should proceed with them separately and I think getting us home safely is the first priority. I am sure SF Science can do more at an advanced facility for our stricken compatriots then we can here in this time and place.”

Petrov put on his best and most sincere face. However even if SF Science could fix it the COS would be gone and replaced as that happened.

Petrov CE

Alita decided to remain silent. Ahern most definitely had a point. Calling Petrov at every chance was taking up valuable time and she would be able to handle things better after being returned to her right mind and body.

Petrov, himself, might have had a point but she would rather melt the insincere ice bear than concede that fact out loud.

• Alita, MO/COS

OOC: Inserting time jump here…

IC:

After hours of deliberating and discussion which lead nowhere, the meeting ended. Petrov hadn’t answered Wells call, since the meeting didn’t yield a decision. As the senior staff mulled around in the Ready Room, they heard a doorbell, and found Wells entering the room. “Lt. Petrov, I called you but you didn’t answer. Is there a problem?” asked Wells, “And oh, if you are wondering, the experimental drive is ready for your inspection and I have ordered the computer not to engage it without my and your permission. I also have an ensign guarding it and told the ensign to keep off limits from it.”

Two minutes after she spoke her statement, EDDIE contacted both Lt. Petrov, Commander Wells and the Captain. =/\= Hi! This is EDDIE! I am happy to report that the Improbability Impossibility Drive is at critical failure and is threatening the safety of the ship! I am also happy to report that command shutdown overwrite will not engage! There is an unknown error that was not previously detected in the last system diagnostics, I really wish I could help identify it! The drive will go critical in 30 seconds, unless it’s engaged! Do I have your permission? =/\=

GM

It was that moment that the Captain doubled over in pain, collapsed and fell unconscious. Improbable impossibilities indeed… Whatever odd quirks of the reality of the universe was happening, it was deciding that this was the moment. Which meant that if they wanted anything to happen correctly with the infinite improbability drive, that would be at that very moment.

GM

Alita didn’t care who’s body she was in at that moment. She leaped from her chair and went to where the Captain lay taking his pulse the old fashioned way.

• Alita, MO/COS

=^=Shaidi to Sickbay, I need a team, equipped, in the ready room IMMEDIATELY.=^=

Greve rushed to Alita’s side, “How’s his pulse?” She asked, rather than taking over which wouldn’t help the situation at all–regardless of difference in profession. “And his breathing?” She knelt down, placing a hand against his chest and her ear close to his head to check for any signs of struggling in his breath.

Dr. Shaidi, CMO

Petrov was fuming. Thirty seconds my behind. What kind of trick was this. However he had to act and he had to be the one who acted if he wanted the rewards of the outcome. Not knowing them was risky.

=^=Engage the Drive=^= He ordered and looked at Well’s. He had no care if the XO liked his not waiting or not. This would show everyone who was the real shot caller in the room.

Petrov CE

“I concur, EDDIE. Set destination 25 light years from our current position.”

“Well he still has a pulse. How is his breathing?” she asked Shaidi.

• Alita, MO/COS

The Captain had a steady pulse and his breathing was mostly normal. The abnormality seemed to be with pained breathing, specifically since he was hurting in his stomach, his breaths were controlled and measured against the reaction to the pain.

“Check him for the virus.” The XO called out, not paying attention to the CE. He would have made the same move anyway. “For now, take him to Sickbay and alert me when he comes around.” Commander Bryson stated.
“Everyone else to your station.”

=/\= Hello crew! This is EDDIE. I am happy to announce the ship is going to engage an experimental drive! You may experience some oddness but do not be alarmed! =/\=

The II-drive activated, and the crew morphed into clay, then felt like they disappeared from the universe for a split second. The ship popped up 25 light years from their previous distance that was infinitely improbably chosen. When they reappeared, they materialized as yarn figures.

=/\= Normalcy will be restored in 1 minute. =/\=

After spending an uncomfortable minute as yarn figures, they popped back to normal. Cel and Alita found themselves back to their original bodies.

GM

Alita looked down at her own body in shock.

“Oh thank the gods!” she said without thinking the firmly closed her mouth. She was torn between wanting to run and take the longest shower she could or stay and help with Remy. In this situation family won out and she stayed.

• Alita, MO/COS

Seeing that both his officers were back in their own bodies, Commander Erin sat down in the Captain’s Chair. “Lets get a full status report, and someone find out where we are.” The XO then looked around to see if he could spot Lieutenant Petrov.

Erin (XO)

“Sir! Anomaly off the port bow! Readings mark similar to what USS Voyager recorded as an entry to the Underspace,” said an NE at the conn.

GM

If a yarn figure could curse then Petrov was doing it. However as he finally returned to normal he just went and leaned on the bulk head.

“What the heck are we doing messing around with this tech?” He questioned out loud.

He also noticed that the COS might have returned to her body, which only made him feel worse.

PetrovCE

Ahearn dashed to the science console and began scanning the anomaly.

Ahearn, CSO

It was the Underspace alright. Though, beyond the detected aperture, sensors weren’t picking up very much.
