The scans initiated by Qi began to come back, and Mika focused on the data loading onto the console. The chroniton readings were consistent with the information provided during last week’s briefing. Mika, although not an engineer, speculated if the Wairara had used these particles to enhance their sub-light engines, particularly in reducing the time dilation effect caused by traveling at near light-speed without warp engines.
Suddenly, the ship was rocked violently. It appeared that they hadn't been attacked, but it wasn't clear what had caused Mika to be thrown off her feet. Once she regained her footing, Mika examined the sensor readings but found nothing unusual. It was expected that passive sensors would have given some warning, but perhaps it wasn’t sufficient, or the cause couldn’t be detected without full sensor scans. Additionally, the Aeroshuttle Bay was one of the affected sections, and if the fire there wasn’t extinguished, the situation could worsen for the Yeager.
"Mika, try to find the cause of the explosion."
This is an anomaly minefield, for lack of a better term. The most well-known example before now was the Delphic Expanse that Archer’s Enterprise traversed. On the bright side, we don’t have to risk everything to save Earth. Keep things in perspective, Mika.
Mika acknowledged the Commander’s request verbally. Given that he was addressing the fire suppression systems, she decided not to occupy part of the station. Many people would prefer avoiding the danger if the Aeroshuttle's fuel lines ignited. She moved to the auxiliary station behind the command well, quickly reconfiguring it to a science setup. It was beneficial that each station could be adapted to various needs without displacing others.
Active scans could potentially alert the Wairara and the racers to the Yeager’s presence, but Mika believed she could conduct those scans safely. To be cautious, she limited her planned scan range to the immediate vicinity of the Yeager, avoiding the racetrack. This would also improve the precision of the sensor data due to reduced strain. Mika needed to determine if an anomaly had struck them to prevent another potential incident.
== GM-Input: With the sensor range reduced to a close proximity of the Yeager, do they detect any sign of an anomaly that could’ve resulted in the ‘boom’ just experienced. Also, do they show any anomaly in the current flight path that would be a danger? ==
