Nathanial looked at Aayla, he knew that this exhuberance would dimmen in time, but right now it was a welcome emotion, after all what was science without a bit of excitement, if he wanted that he wouldn't have joined Starfleet!
He smiled. "Yes Cadet, we might get taken out, or we might not, or we might end up being turned inside out, but shouldn't we first find out what is happening to the planet core?" he asked in a calm tone.
"It appears to be severe tectonic activity that is breaking up the crust and is shaking the core." Aayla said as she moved her hands across the panel to bring up a cross section of the planet.
Nathanial stepped towards the terminal next to Aayla. The readings were pointing towards there being severe activity on the planet, but something didn't feel right. He brought up the scan of the region, it was then they noticed that it wasn't just this planet, it seemed that all the planets in the vicinity were reading severe tectonic activiy. He turned to Aayla. "It looks like we have some kind of phenomina that is either effecting all the planets at once, or giving us false readings. I want you to run another scan through the sensor pod, while I program a set of probes." he said to Aayla, while pointing to the console next to his.
"Aye sir," Aayla said as she glided her hands accross the panel, only lookig up when she had completed the scan and its data confimed. "It appears that the center point is comming just beyond the third planet in this system," Aayla said with a sudden wave of subduedness. "But this isnt right, the signal is comming from the orbit of the planet!"
"The orbit?" he replied without thinking. The statement had caught him off guard. He began to program the pod to preform an orbit scan of the planet, as opposed to scanning the actual planet itself.
"Cadet, can you plot a course for the scanning pod, I have a few more adjustments to enter into the pod itself.". And he turned back to the console to enter the new scans he wanted the probe to preform.
"Ahhhhh, yes, yes I can but dont expect it to be accurate, I never took helm." Aayla said with a lower confidance.
Nathanial noted the remark, he would do a quick double check before the launch, but they had to act quickly, if there was infact some major disturbance that could cause the entire nebula to go up, he had better be ontop of it when the Captain finds out.
He finished entering in the data and turned to the Cadet. "Done?" he asked.
"Yyyyyes." Aayla said with stress on the y as the course was set.
Nathanial nodded, he checked over her course quickly, it would get the job done, and that is what they currently needed.
Nathanial pressed the launch button, and a few seconds later a pod fired out of the aft pod launcher.
They both watched the screen and the path of the probe, it took a few minutes to approach the location of the disturbance. What came up next on the screen confused the both of them.
"Thats a Vree carrier wave!" Aayla exclaimed.
Nathanial was unsure on why one, the carrier wave was here, but two, how it would be effecting the planets core. "Cadet, since its a Vree carrier wave, can you neutralise it?"
Aayla moved her hand accross the console to bring up a detailed summary on the probe. Aayla's face went pale when she saw the carrier wave's frequency upclose. "Sir that's not just a frequency, its a Vree Command Frequency!" Aayla exclaimed.
Nathanial looked at Aayla, she more than just excited, he could understand the excitement, but right now he was more concerned with the potential damage this could cause, with already a planet begining to destabalize, they needed to do something quick.
He checked over the scans, the signal was originating in the near vicinty of the planet. Near enough to divert the probe to take a look.
Nathanial typed the reourte commands into the console and they both watched the probe shift course for its new target. A few minutes passed before the data started to arrive in. There seemed to be some small object, too small to be a ship, maybe a beacon or probe? It seemed to be the cause of the signal that was causing the issues.
Nathanial turned to Aayla. "Well it seems that your away mission to the planet you had planned has a slight detour, and its been moved to T-Minus 90 minutes. I will clear the mission with the required parties.
"I have every confidence that you will be able to disable the averse effects of the signal."
"Yes sir, I think Ensign Clipper would be a good choice for a mission XO." Aayla stated as she transferred the contents to the Excalibur computer. "He has shown outstanding work, and I believe him to be the best choice."
Nathanial agreed that he would be a good choice, but that said he also after hearing about the cadets experience as well as the ensign's with helm, he would rather have an officer from helm to be the XO.
"Ensign Clipper would be a good choice, I agree, but considering the effects the signal is having on the surrounding space, I would be more comfortable with a Helm's officer as XO. Would you not agree?" He asked
"Ah yes sur I would, but who do you have in mind?" Aayla asked.
He smiled. "Yes Cadet, we might get taken out, or we might not, or we might end up being turned inside out, but shouldn't we first find out what is happening to the planet core?" he asked in a calm tone.

"Ah yes sur I would, but who do you have in mind?" Aayla asked.
"Not off the top of my head, maybe check with Lieutenant Sakarra to see who she would suggest. You have 80mins left before mission start. I need to head off and get clearance for the mission, can I leave the rest of the mission in your hands."
"Alright then, Bre'accoria to Thrax, I need a pilot for a shuttle mission, who do you have open?" Aayla asked.
