Amila braced herself against the science console as she worked, frustrated that the Captain wasn't keen on sending her over to the Ferengi vessel to assess the situation and try to disable the device without blowing something up. She listened to the Bridge crew talk about disabling the Nausicaan vessel like it was background noise, focusing on the sensor readings from the probes that were monitoring the Ferengi vessel. Unless she could find something else that could help, it was looking like they'd lose the Ferengi ship and whatever device was causing this mayhem. The thought was extremely disconcerting, temporal mechanics was tricky. There were always risks that extended beyond what was immediately foreseeable. She still wasn't even entirely sure that was temporal.
The phaser fire from USS Titania was easily able to disable the weapons of the Nausicaan vessel. However, the tactical display showed that they remained on an intercept course towards the Ferengi ship.
"It looks like they didn't take the hint. Should we disable their engines too Captain?" Ameen asked.
Yes, the answer should be yes, thought Amila. They clearly know more about this device than we do, we can't let them get an edge. She scoured the readings for something - anything that would give them a hint of more information. When she found it, it stuck out like a sore thumb and she couldn't believe she hadn't thought to look for something like this earlier.
"Captain Fields, there's an issue with the Ferengi's drive core. It appears to be directly correlated to the phasing we've been monitoring. I think that whatever is on board that ship is drawing power from their drive core. That may very well be why they started drifting in the first place," Amila announced. "Commander Keir 77, I'm sending you these readings to see if you can make sense of them."
==Tag Captain and Keir==
==Tag GM are science and engineering able to determine any more about the device from it's use of the ship's resources? Has it diverted too much power causing the systems failure? ==
