Jadaris, upon rematerializing, was alarmed by the fact that he felt off temperature-wise. Being cold-blooded, he was used to being sensitive to the temperature around him, and this, just felt weird. And then he noticed the blue; given he had gone through mind swapping via alien technology as an Ensign, he wasn't as distressed, but he really hated temporal alterations.
"Weird. Being in the matter stream should have protected me against temporal displacement. Possibly a quantum merge then, using the ship's quantum history as a temporal anchor, but crossing it with the prime timeline caused a shunt." Came the higher pitched voice from Jadaris, though he looked across the engineering bay and saw that everything was different, as usual.
His first priority was to stop the ship from blowing up, and it seemed according to the security alerts, they had been boarded. So, Jadaris entered in the command to seal off engineering from any boarders that might try to find their way inside. And then his second act was to tap his commbadge and say,
"Jadaris to Qi, assuming you're actually the Chief Science Officer still. I think we've encountered a temporal shunt that's temporarily collapsed our timeline with the ship's earlier timelines. If we can find ourselves a new chroniton source and get hit with polaron weaponry while irradiated by said source, it might be enough to shock ourselves out of this timestream and back into our original one. But we'd need to do the same to the Cardassians if they're here with us, as timeline contamination should be avoided."
He continued to work on restoring shielding utilizing his more modern knowledge of shield systems, but only enough to make it seem probable, and not be a timeline breach.
“Alden to Jadaris. Once you've sealed the hatch and returned to Engineering, give me a heads-up. I need your personal commands as Chief Engineer to access and repair a system as I don’t have access.”
Jadaris frowned and said,
"Alden. Not at this time. Not while the ship isn't secure. You know protocol."
==GM Input: How are the shields doing, and how is the rest of the ship doing for that matter?==
