Nothing Here But Us Romulans

The USS Niven was on patrol of a remote area for the past 20 days and unexpectedly, it had been an uneventful one. There were a few natural phenomena that we encountered, but that was the extent of any sort of action. It was at this time that Lieutenant Joran Maniersi picked up chronotron emissions on our sensors. Commander Hazor Dyan warned us, stating that chronotron emissions usually indicate a spacetime continuum disruption. Knowing that the emissions were likely to come from somewhere interested, we set a course for the point of origin at warp 8.

Upon arrival, we slowed to impulse to scan the area. We picked up a ship that seemed to be heavily damaged. The chronotron emissions were certainly coming from this ship and the plasma contamination was extremely high. Various places in the ship were experiencing phase varients.

Just as we were finishing up our initial scans, a warp bubble expanded from the ship, but with quick hands, Maniersi maneuvered us out of the way so that we didn't experience a full-on hit. Inertial dampeners prevented a violent jostling, but it was a minor rattle. Hazor said that the bubble was a singularity expansion that dropped the plasma levels, but the energy dispersed was approximately 66% of a singularity drive. Knowing singularities were a method utilized by the Romulans for generating energy, I assembled an away team for surveying.
