+"No, no, I just feel like I have been in it for a while now, hard to
+get my 'legs' back." The Counsellor lied, unsure how he could explain his
+feelings about D-warp to an Admiral when he had yet to even find words for
+them for himself.
+"Well, get them back once you reach the Feynman because that is
+where you are going to be the new head counsellor. Ops will give you docking
+bay and departure time so dismissed Ensign, dismissed."
+<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
+Loren gathered the information he needed to know from a young Lt. in
+station ops. Apparently not much had been heard from the FEYNMAN since
+their encounter with an alien race. The ship's last coordinates were
+known, and it was also known that the ship was in the midst of a very
+tense situtaion.
+The Isaahi were pretty important to the Federation right now, and they
+didn't want to take any chances so they were sending a functional
+telepath out to ease the contact situation.
+A D-warp shuttle was heading in the direction of the FEYNMAN and Loren
+had been ordered aboard it. Lately, d-warp was a mode of travel he
+didn't care that much about. But right now, Loren knew he had to put his
+personal discomfort aside because there was a ship out there that needed him.
+"Sir," stated the cheery Chief Petty Officer from the door to the shuttle
+Elseveier, "We're cleared for departure and we have your belongings stowed."
+Loren shook off his misgivings about d-warp and clambered into the
+shuttle. Apparently, the CPO accompanying him was headed to a colony
+a few parsecs away from the FEYNMAN's last coordinates. <nowiki>*At least, I'll
+have company on this one*</nowiki> contemplated Loren.
+["Shuttle Elseveier, you are cleared for departure"] came the
+announcement from station ops.
+"This is Chief Petty Officer Burrows. Acknowledged SB EPSILON." Burrows
+tapped in the departure sequence while Loren sat back. Shuttle piloting
+was not one of Loren's best skills.
+The shuttle moved silently through the docking bay doors into open space
+where Burrows pointed the shuttle in the right direction and engaged
+d-warp. As the shuttle lept into netherspace, Loren prepared himself for
+the unexpected.
+<nowiki>------------------------------------------</nowiki>
+As the Elseveier came out of D-warp, Loren shook his head. <nowiki>*That one was
+just as weird as the last one*</nowiki> thought Loren.
+Burrows ran a check of the shuttle systems as the Elseveier came to a
+relative stop outside of the star system in which the FEYNMAN was
+located.
+"You alright sir," said Burrows eyeing Loren. He had never seen d-warp
+have that kind of effect on anyone before. <nowiki>*This guy is practically
+shaking*</nowiki>
+Suddenly, a warning bleep came from the sensor console. Loren came out
+of his daze as his hands moved over the controls.
+"It looks like there is an ship approaching. Ship recognition programs
+can't identify it..."
+"Whoever they are they're moving in really close," stated Burrows.
+Loren eyes seem to glaze for a moment before, "I'm raising the shields
+and arming weapons. See if you can contact the FEYNMAN."
+A warning klaxon went off a split second before the shuttle rocked from a
+weapons discharge from the approaching ship.
+Burrows began evasive manuevers while Loren returned fire as best he
+could. Unfortunately, the two Starfleet officers were so focused on
+combating the first attacking ship, they fail to notice the other come
+out from behind a nearby planetoid.
+The second ship slammed the shuttle with as much firepower as it could
+muster.
+The Elseveier ducked under the fire of the first ship while returning
+fire to the second hostile. Energy blasts spread across the bow of the
+shuttle as it desperately ducked and weaved, but it was overmatched.
+"Shields buckling...torpedoes and phasers down..." were the last words
+for Burrows as his control console exploded peppering his face with the
+fragments.
+Loren shielded himself with his arm but to no avail. The blast rendered
+him unconscious as well. The world went dim as the Elseveier floated
+adrift and Loren saw the two unidentified ships close in...

+USS FEYNMAN CNS2<br>
+NRPG: Hi all! Once again, it's a pleasure to uhmm..be aboard...kind
+of. Guess what. Help me! So far, I see two options.
+The attacking ships were Reavers out for more Federation tech.
+)Loren will be found when the away team from the FEYNMAN raids the
+Reaver base.
+)The Reavers didn't jam the shuttle's mayday and the FEYNMAN will break
+Of course, someone could have something more original in mind which is
+fine by me.
