Mission: Consult the Anomaly
Location: U.S.S. Albion
Timeline: Current

OFF: Let's just see where we go...

(U.S.S. Albion - Bridge)

::After a wild and crazy time on the bridge, much commotion and apparently an officer having to go to sickbay for both burns and poisoning, the bridge crew seemed to return to the status quo. They were generally some small conversations that happened, but with everyone still processing what just happened with Lt. Mack and Mr. Rubbletree. The doors closed to the turbolift as the cleaning crew had come and finished their job of getting all the coffee and poison out of the carpet, consoles and clothes. The silence was finally broken with the sound of a small notice going off on the Ops console.::

Varley: ::Looking down at his console, he notices usual readings running parallel to the Albion. Triangulating the position after a few minutes of scans he clears his throat:: "Lieutenant, would you mind lookin at something?"

Genno: :: Who was standing at the back of the bridge, checking over some recent tests on the weapons systems. She looks over at the Ensign and makes her way to the front of the bridge, and stands behind the ops section.:: "What is it Varley?"

Varley: "I am getting an unusual reading. It looks to be just on the edge of the sensors. It appears to keep kind of appearing and disappearing. The computer is reading it as a tachyon signature."

Genno: "A tachyon signature? Like a cloaked ship of some sort?"

Varley: "Perhaps. The signature would more align with a cloaking device used about 20 years ago. If it is a Romulan cloaking device, it's out of service, perhaps something sold on the black market to pirates and the lot."

Genno: "That does make sense. There have been scattered reports or Romulan tech being stripped from mothballed Romulan ships, smuggled across the borders and sold. It's a very high risk, high reward job."

Varley: "Should we report it to the Captain or Commander Andrews?"

Genno: ::Taking a moment to think:: "I wouldn't disturb the Captain right now, he's probably still dealing with Mr. Rubbletree. It's nothing that we can be worried about right now. Make a note in the log, and send a message down to Commander Andrews. If he want to act on it, then I will let him make that call. I don't feel like we need to change course to chase ghosts."

Varley: "Aye Sir." ::He keeps the ship on course while sending a small message to the XO's computer about their findings. Within minutes the sensor image disappears from the scanners, and never returns:: "It appears to be gone now."

Genno: "Odd... that seems random." ::She taps the Comm panel to hail Commander Andrews::

Andrews: =/\= "Blast! I was looking forward to that coffee too." =/\=

Genno: ::Showing obvious confusion:: "Commander, random question"

Andrews: =/\= "42. =/\=

Genno: "Excuse me?"

Andrews: =/\= Sorry Lieutenant, something else was on my mind. What can I do for you? =/\=

Genno: "Ensign Varley has sent you some data, would you mind taking a look at it and advising on the best course of action."

Andrews: =/\= Will do Genno, Andrews out. =/\=

Genno: (Short and to the point, got to love that about the Commander)
