With the Captain’s order to NE Bannion, the Curie began her departure from the dock. The maneuvering thrusters fired to hold station while the moorings and umbilical’s were cleared. For the first time in over a decade, the Curie began to move under her own power.

Jessip looked over the Bridge stations and felt a swell of pride as the old girl was once again moving on her own. “Mr. Bannion, take us to the location of the wormhole.”

Looking over at OPS, he stated, “Be prepared to broadcast the signal to open the wormhole. Since we collapsed the wormhole on our side a decade ago, put the signal on a loop repeating every 45 seconds. We don’t know how long it will take for the wormhole to open.”

=^= “Engineering, this is the Captain. Once the wormhole opens and we enter it, I need you to monitor these new engines. We don’t need a slip up while we are traversing the wormhole.” = ^=

” Mr. Nesman, according to our logs, the last time this ship entered that wormhole we had to do so without shields. Increase power to the structural integrity fields as we have no idea what the wormholes effects will be upon this new Curie.”

Gripping the arms of his command chair, Jessip waited for the ship to get into range.

• Captain Jessip Quirst

Zan had been watching from her spot on the bridge. Leaving for the first time in a while on a ship? This never got old. As the ship continued to move forward she was almost on the edge of her seat, watching the screen and looking at her station every few seconds to see if there were any issues on her end which there hadn’t been so far. She nodded twice, and relaxed. This would be a trip to remember.

It took only a few moments for the Curie to take up a position at the entrance of the wormhole. The officer at OPS keyed in the broadcast signal and put it on repeat. It wasn’t long before the swirling whirlpool of the wormhole’s aperture opened up to the Curie. The colorful light show from within the wormhole sparkled against the Curie’s hull, across the view screen on the Bridge, and the window wall of 8 Forward. In fact any forward view port would seen the show.

“Mr. Bannion, initialize Aft thrusters then move us up to one quarter impulse. Take us in.” Jessip stated while keeping an eye on the interior of the wormhole.

NE Shanda watched as the ship approached the mouth of the wormhole.
“Here we go,” she said before taking a deep breath.
=/\= Standby for wormhole interface! =/\= Came Ander’s voice over the comm.

The Curie moved slowly at first but quickly picked up speed as she entered the wormhole. As soon as she began to traverse the passage, the aperture closed behind her. The lights flashed brightly encompassing the entire of the hull. The explorer seemed to be buffeted by unknown winds as the ship shook, jolted and rolled while keeping a steady pace. Every one in a while Jessip could hear his Bridge officers call out items of concern; weakening of the structural integrity field, fluctuations within the warp core, hull temperature increasing. According to the original ships readings, these were expected phenomenon while traversing this wormhole. Jessip was listening for anything odd or unexpected.

According to the ship’s chronometer, they had only a few more minutes to go.

=/\= Bridge! We’re beginning to see plasma surges in the EPS manifolds! =/\=
An alarm sounded and the lights flickered.
=/\= Reroute plasmaaaaghhh… =/\= The channel became all static before going dead.
“Captain! We’ve lost comms with engineering! Main power is failing, they’re attempting to compensate!”

NE Shanda, ENG

She was looking over readings best she could with failing power and trying to monitor calls that could possibly coming in from the Turbulence of the wormhole. Her face was one of seriousness as she felt for the emotions around her, no matter what they would be.
