"Strange Things Indeed" Con't from Rahul's "Interrogation" Location: USS PATRIOT Scene: Corridor Tellah couldn't explain it. She didn't - couldn't - understand how some people were seeing apparitions of the planets inhabitants. There was no logical explanation that could explain it. And that flustered the unusually icy operations officer. Cal hated things that escaped explanation. Because everything had to be based in reality, and had to follow the laws of the universe. And it was the fact that she couldn't connect the dots and figure it out was an anthema to her. The Anarian stalked down the crowded corridor. Her expression was so fierce, that anyone coming in the opposite direction would see her, and get the hell out of her way. There had been a problem down in the cargo bay and she had gone to see the Quartermaster. Mission accomplished, she had to head back to the Bridge. En route, she was savagely mauling her knowledge of black hole phenomena. She would not rest until the solution to the problem came to her. The problem unfortunately became a little more complex. She could understand the appearance of the planet in the Earth's immediate location. But the phasing in and out of the planet's inhabitants. That didn't make any sense. "Let me go!" She heard the commotion before she saw it. "I want my lawyer!" A voice brawled out. Tellah looked on as four security officers frog-walked a mountain of a man down the corridor. Most likely towards the brig. She hid a sneer. Another Essentialist. "You son of a bitch, this is assault!" He shouted. The civilian's eyes were wide and wild. Half clouded in pain and fear as he tried to break free of the crippling wrist locks. Cal pressed herself against the wall as the gaggle of men taking up the majority of the corridor surged past. "You can't arrest me for speaking my mind!" With a surge, the mountain of a man shoved against one of the guards, throwing him off. The lieutenant slammed into Tellah and the two went down to the ground together, while the remaining security officers regained control of their captive. The young security officer scrambled off Tellah and looked at her. His baby brown eyes, and brown hair, gave him a very young look. "Sorry Lieutenant." He said quickly helping the Anarian onto her feet. Before she could snap off a retort, he turned and sprinted to catch up to the prisoner. Tellah shook her head and took a second to regain her composure. She had hit her head against the wall, and it had hurt. The operations officer scowled, then the expression on her face changed. Maybe literally, but the pieces in of the puzzle clicked into place. She knew how to solve the dilemma. Maverick had been coming down the corridor and raised an eyebrow when he saw Tellah uncharacteristically staring at the wall. Her gaze was unfocused. "What's the matter?" He asked. He saw reality come back to her. "If we can enlist all of the available ships to surround the planet and create warp bubbles, it will force the time-space continuum to stabilise, and strengthen. Theoretically, we can force the planet back through the opening. And to fix the time dilation, we need tachyon particles. A lot of them. We can literally patch that hole in space by bending the fabric around the rip and forcing it against the rip. It could work." She said quickly, her mind racing ahead, running through all of the theories and ideas and consequences. "Want to repeat, I missed that." Maverick blinked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NRPG: Just kicking things along. Naomi Lara Lt. J.G.
