Star Trek: Starbase 777

“Maxson to Bridge. What’s going on?”

"Major spatial distortion ahead! Scanners went haywire."

"Umali to bridge! It's full red alert in Engineering. Experiencing major systems failure down here! Scanners are unresponsive. What's going on up where?"

"Bridge, engineering, we've encountered a major distortion, ship approaching on a collision course."

“Maxson to Bridge. What’s going on?”

The Eventide blared with the red alert klaxson. "Red alert, everyone brace for possible impact! We've got a ship heading right for us and this distortion is keeping Eventide from moving a muscle!"

"Engineering to Bridge, we have an idea for how to get us out of this mess, do you think you could inverse the tractor beam and aim it at the other ship to try and get us further apart? If possible, aim it at a slight angle so we go either up or down."

Shane gathered a little bit of composure before speaking into the comm. "Shuttle bay to bridge! What in the hell was that! You nearly caused major injuries down here with that little stunt!"

"Sorry, we're figuring it out right now!! Drop down to sickbay if you need..."

"Bridge to engineering, is everything working alright down there? Um- we're experiencing some auditory hallucinations, and want to make sure nothing is leaking, or..."

"Engineering here. All systems are normal, but you might want to be more careful with the yellow alert. Gave us all a real scare down here."

"We didn't send a yellow alert?"

"We sure heard one."

"Huh. We'll run a systems diagnostics up here. Thank you!"

Khanwi was clearly grumbly as he responded, and obviously didn't intend for the comm to pick it up. "I'm the systems guy, I would tell you if something was wrong."

"We're experiencing some sort of... anomaly? Yellow alert. A real one, this time."

"Bridge to engineering, we are about to prepare an inverted tractor beam to be held on standby, prepare to reroute non critical systems power as we may need as much of a kick as we can get. Expect maximum induced load." (edited)

“This is Maxson to Bridge. We’re experiencing some…hallucinations down here in the shuttle bay, but have no evidence of a gas leak. What’s going on up there?”

"Umali to Bridge. Orders received and understood.... but why though?"

"Ship-wide announcement - we have strong evidence of being in a temporal anomaly. Basically a time-loop - how or why is... something we're trying to figure out. Keep calm and alert, and report if you retain any memories of previous loops, okay?"

"Bridge to the science labs. There is an abnormal amount of tachyon particles showing up on scans. The anomaly we've come across seems to have both spacial and temporal effects. Run more detailed scans and report back when you find something of significance."

"Umali to Bridge. Sounds good. Will keep you posted."

"ACTO to Tactical, Last loop the tractor beam didnt give us enough of a shove to get out the way, what do people think about the use of a transporter placed torpedo near the shields detonated to add additional weight to the shove?"

"Umali to Bridge. Engineering has come up with a couple ideas on what we can do to either get ourselves out of this at the least, or make it go away at the most. Warp drives primarily shift and distort space time, enveloping a given starship in a bubble which propels us faster than light. We can, theoretically, utilize the warp drive to create a bubble around ourselves, that would shield us from the effects of the anomaly, and moving in a different direction to whatever it is that is coming towards us away from it, and allow us to disperse the tachyons throughout a greater area to minimize its effects. Alternatively, us doing our own bubble would be enough of an energy field to neutralize the tachyons, probably. if set to be in the same charge. We're deferring this to sciences for their expertise. You guys probably know better... yeah.... so how have things been?"

"Cadet T'Lane to bridge is there anything we can do down here for you?"

"Bridge to Transporter room, can you lock onto the bridge of the Enyalios and get them on here?"

"Doin' our best, bridge— we're having a bit of trouble locking on!"

“Um-! This is Bridge to Engineering! We need the tachyon thing, now!”

"Engineering to Bridge, we are on it!"

"Bridge to the science labs. Engineering is attempting to disperse the tachyon particles, keep the scans going and document as much as you can for retrospective analysis."

"Understood. I will also be sending logs from my VISOR after all of this."

"ACTO to Transporter room,do you have them?"

"Yessir, they're all safe and sound."

"Iviaan to Medical — prepare to receive an influx of patients, I'm on my way down to lend a hand."
