|
Captain on the bridge!
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Good to have you back, Cap
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
Good to be back
|
|
What the hell happened?
|
|
No one's telling me anything
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Well, Cap, we experienced an electromagnetic anomaly at....
|
|
|
|
<Maxwell>
|
|
Approximately 21:12 UTC
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Originally, we assumed it was a hostile ship that attacked us
|
|
Now we know, there was no ship in the vicinity at all
|
|
Somehow, the anomaly appeared to us as a ship that was firing upon us
|
|
It also apprears that it was exposing our hull to huge amounts of radiation
|
|
Like it was trying to probe us, or test the ship or something...like...
|
|
|
|
<Maxwell>
|
|
Like it was looking for a weak spot
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
Max, what do we know about this anomaly?
|
|
|
|
<Maxwell>
|
|
Not much, Captain
|
|
We were able to play back some video from the last probe we sent out
|
|
Even though our sensors showed a hostile ship, there was nothing out there
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
Jonesy, what's your best guess at what we're dealing with?
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Well, Cap, I'd say that whatever we encountered, has encountered humans
|
|
Sometime before us, I mean
|
|
Why else would it appear like a hostile on our sensors?
|
|
Like it knew how we would, or expected us to, react to being fired at
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
Okay
|
|
Jonesy, what's our current status?
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Reactor is currently online and active
|
|
Propulsion systems are back now
|
|
|
|
<Maxwell>
|
|
Communications array looks to be damaged, no outgoing messages at the moment
|
|
Navigation is online, nothing showing up on long or short range sensors
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
FRS and life support are both operational
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
Any radiation alarms near the outer hull?
|
|
|
|
<Maxwell>
|
|
Yes, sir
|
|
We have had radiation alarms all over the forward compartments
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
Engineering too, Cap
|
|
We're trying to get anyone who was in any of these areas to get checked
|
|
The med bays are full at the moment
|
|
|
|
<Jones>
|
|
What are you thinking, Cap?
|
|
|
|
<Flintridge>
|
|
I'm thinking we need a plan
|
|
Jonesy, you're with me
|
|
Max, you have the conn
