And Darkness Fell Upon Us...

 

Tactical Officers Log: Eagle,James, T., Ens.

 

The ship and crew have been strained to the limits of their collective abilities. One minute we are flanked by two Romulan war birds, The Xo and another crew member have been beamed off the ship. The crewmen known as Daena suddenly reappeared on the bridge alone, and damaged goods I might add.

 

I had been scanning a sector of space locked onto in an attempt to discover any residual trace of the Commander. The space mentioned is empty with the exception of the normal dust and radiation one would expect to find. No trace of the Xo found in my sweep. Then to kick the intrigue up a notch a rather large and foreboding "Friend" of the Captains did appear on the bridge, Armed to the teeth in minimal attire.

 

The Co introduced this being to the bridge crew, minimal courteous exchanges were noted. The being then upon query from Commander Alces, And the Co began to relay a warning to us. The medical teams had responded to the bridge and had beamed our injured crew member to sick bay. Scanning of the visitor revealed nothing unusual with the possible exception of being heavily armed. To make matters worse this individual flatly advised us to depart from this place. It appears he was trying to save us from what was shortly found to be an emerging spacial phenomena.

 

I had not detected any type of spacial event on the scans, And was confirmed by the Commander...that is until I broadened the scope of the tactical scans. well there it was just as the stranger had indicated. A power surge was detected, and appeared to be growing exponentially at a substantial rate. The Co and Commander were deeply involved in verbal exchanges with the stranger.

 

The Co attempted to relay her reluctance to leave this section of space without our Xo whom by now we were pretty well convinced the Romulans had taken him aboard and were holding him prisoner. The stranger referred to a device and relayed the possible imminent doom we were all facing, The man then proceed to draw near the Co then kissed her..stepped back and in a tachyon surge event left the bridge.

 

While the bridge crew all looked on in astonishment at the swift departure of the man. Almost instantly the Xo appeared on the bridge..obviously beaten and bloodied no less. Sam the Ceng had prepped a probe to retrieve data from the approaching spacial event now closing rapidly upon us.

 

The probe had a two fold purpose ,one to gather data and second to possibly synchronize our shield configuration with those of the war birds whom the stranger had referred to earlier as being prepared for this event. We had no sooner launched the probe and the engineering officer began to establish a data stream when the "Tear' in space fully developed ...surrounding the Arcadia and drawing us in.

 

Bright flash of light..then total darkness, The audible creaking and crunching of metal was heard, the ship as if in the very throes of a death struggle with an unseen predator. Is this death ...or the beginning of the end. ...Computer End Log: Beep..
