Back on the bridge, [[Kayla Drex|Lieutenant Drex]] discovered a pattern within the light that had bombarded them earlier. [[R'rraww Hontrú|Ensign Hontrú]] discovered the computer was able to interpret the incoming transmission after a fashion, but the Eagle was unable to respond in kind. Drex worked with [[Randal Shayne|Lt Commander Shayne]] to orchestrate a response by clearing a portion of the light-blocking shielding and flashing a mathematical sequence to show they were not hostile to the alien vessel. | Back on the bridge, [[Kayla Drex|Lieutenant Drex]] discovered a pattern within the light that had bombarded them earlier.

The alien vessel understood the message and sent instructions for opening up a more "traditional" means of communication. The Leader identified the ship as the Cam'roon, and accused the Eagle of invasion, desecration of a holy place, and trespassing in general. They insisted the Eagle break off from the Shrine immediately and leave their "Layer," and not invade again. Diplomacy being key in first contact situations, [[Oddas Aria|Captain Oddas]] and [[Randal Shayne|Lieutenant Commander Shayne]] informed the Leader that they were not only not invading, but also had no idea of how the Federation ship even came to be in this Layer. They certainly had not intended to land on this Shrine, and would never willingly desecrate a sacred icon. | |||
With communications open and the threat of being blasted off the Shrine diverted, the crew turned their feverish attention to the other pressing matter: the Shrine was breaking apart. The fissures forming in both the face and body of the Shrine were threatening the structural stability of the sacred icon - which also happened to be the ground on which the Eagle rested. It appeared as though a reaction of the matter/antimatter mix of the warp core and the matter of which the Shrine was comprised was responsible for both keeping the Eagle locked in place and the breaking apart of the Shrine. After tossing around several possible solutions to the problem, the warp core was shut down and the lowest airlocks in order to use the vented atmosphere as a propellant. | |||

Drifting slowly away from the Shrine (which had begun to heal itself in the absence of the matter/antimatter energy field), the Cam'roon again hailed the Eagle, reiterating their demand that the Eagle leave this Layer immediately. | |||
