Science Team Log

Log Entry One
Ensign Neeya Velix, Science Team Lead

When we emerged from the subspace aperture a few hours ago, the Cupertino’s sensors detected an unusual particulate matter surrounding the ship. Initial scans show that these particles do not match any known phenomena in our database. Captain Nassar has asked me to lead the team investigating these particles, and I have chosen Lieutenant Pereira to assist me. We have conducted a thorough but preliminary examination, and the composition and properties of these particles remain unknown. They show unique behaviors, and seem to be interfering with our navigational and scanning equipment.

Log Entry Two
Lieutenant Pereira, Chief Science Officer

After an extensive search through the Starfleet database, we found no matches or references that could help identify the particles. Its unknown origin and properties suggest that we are dealing with something previously undiscovered, which does little to help our search for a solution. With no database entries to guide us and time being of the essence, Ensign Velix and I have decided to shift our focus. Instead of determining what the particles are, we will concentrate on understanding their effects and interactions with our ship.

Log Entry Three
Ensign Neeya Velix, Science Team Lead

We ran several simulations in the ship’s computer to analyse the particles behavior in regards to interaction with the Cupertino. The results show that these particles played a role in pulling us into the subspace aperture. More precisely, the simulations show a complex interaction between the particles and our ship’s energy fields, creating a gravitational-like pull that dragged us into wherever we are now.

Log Entry Four
Lieutenant Pereira, Chief Science Officer

Ensign Velix and I think that if we could reverse the particles’ effects, we might be able to escape the current region. We attempted to manipulate the particles using various energy fields and frequencies, but so far our efforts were unsuccessful. The particles’ properties resisted all attempts at reversal.

Log Entry Five
Lieutenant Pereira, Chief Science Officer

Our current idea involves recalibrating the ship’s shields to match the frequency of the particles. By doing so, we hope to be able to at least gain navigational control. Preliminary calculations and simulations suggest that this approach could work. We need to run more tests to confirm our hypothesis, but the initial results are promising. Lieutenant Pereira and I are preparing to present our findings and proposed solution to Captain Nassar. We are heading to the bridge now to present our plan and get approval for implementation.

Log Entry Seven
Ensign Neeya Velix, Science Team Lead

Captain Nassar did not approve of implementation, saying that it is too risky to recalibrate the shields accordingly, as it would mean that we have no means to protect ourselves while the weapons partially are offline. We are looking into alternative options to counteract the particles, but will have to think of a different approach. Lieutenant Pereira and I will continue our research.

    This a fresh way to look at the development research of the science team getting their hands dirty into finding answers about what happened to them, how it happened and most importantly why it happened. I do like that tease of the log being removed wondering what it was about. Keep it up!

    Unusual particulate matter surrounding the ship, which do not match anything on the database. An interesting and possibly ground-breaking discovery, which may result in answering many of the questions everyone has and sorting out the problems vessels have been facing. Setting it out as a series of 'Log Entries' is an interesting idea and in this context I think it works nicely. I wonder want was in number six, before its removal? Can't wait to see how this turns out.
