+SCENE Somewhere out in space
+The entity continued to seethe, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. It
+had waited long enough; soon the metaphor-being would be in its power. There
+was no way to stop it this time. Its power was much greater closer to the source.
+Soon, it would have control of the humanoid and its vessel with it.
+USS Feynman:Bridge
+Maril felt a shiver pass through his body, as though he had just woken up from
+a dream. He looked around him, but everything was fine.
+"Are you okay, Commander?" Captain Zane asked, looking up from his
+armrest console.
+"Fine, sir," Maril replied, trying to look relaxed. "Just a breath from Kirerdo."
+Zane nodded knowingly, although his eyes still focused on Maril for a second.
+Slowly, he turned back to the armrest.
+Maril still felt strange, though. That shiver had been no ordinary shiver. It had
+been colder, almost like an icy grip that had grabbed him without warning.
+"What the-" came Lt.(jg) Allard's voice from behind.
+"Is there a problem, Lieutenant?" Maril asked curiously, turning his head, as
+the Captain swung around to look at Allard.
+"Ah, no, sir, just a bump in the level of graviton particles about 5 AU's to our
+starboard for about three seconds. It was probably just a sensor glitch, if it was
+anything."
+"Get someone to check on that, Lieutenant," Zane ordered calmly.
+"Aye, sir."
+As Zane looked back at a PADD and Allard talked to a junior officer about the
+sensor array, Maril wondered: was there something really happening, or was he
+just seeing reskolins in the waves?
+MD 4.2000
+After a few moments of whispering between Zane and Maril, Zane finally got
+out of his coveted chair and walked into his Ready Room. Maril didn't sit down in
+it, however. Although he would have liked to, it was past his shift, so he simply
+announced:
+"Alright, ALPHA shift is over, BETA shift crews take stations. Lieutenant
+Meleah, you have the Conn."
+Meleah looked surprised as she got up from the science station and sat down
+in the Command Chair. That was odd; Maril doubted that the android had
+forgotten about her shift. Perhaps it was part of her emotion program.
+MD 4.2100
+First Officer's Office
+Maril glanced at the information collected at the Serapis's destruction site.
+Remembering the cold grip he had felt earlier, he shivered again. Would this
+feeling of dread never go away?
+The sun has met the sea,<br>
+Lt. Commander Onta Maril,<br>
+First Officer, USS Feynman,<br>
+aka Max Felsher<br>
+NRPG:
+So, that's that.
+Sorry for not posting in a while.
+I'd estimate that we'll reach the edge of Issashi space at about 6.1200. This
+would agree with Andy's post which said it would be over 36 hours to the nearest
+system along that heading. (FYI, Jerran has the shift after Meleah, and Jenn and
+Koreth have BETA and GAMMA shift the next day.
+A weapon which would destroy our SIF would definitely be dangerous. I was
+reading my tech manual and it seems that if our SIF/IDF fails, the most we can
+accelerate is 30 m/sec/sec, while full impulse speed can sometimes cause
+accelerations more than 300 times that.
+My best guess on exactly how this weapon would work is that the ytterbium would
+somehow react with the ceramic-polymer composite that conducts the SIF,
+thereby not allowing the SIF to operate (since there would be no way to create it.)
