[[USS Veritas]] had limped back to Utopia Planitia after the beating it took from the Sentinel controlled ships. During that time, Nabihah had been acclimatising to life on the ship, along with her roommate [[Charlena Vanlith]], with whom she was becoming rather close. There was not much else to do with most of the crew away on leave. | [[USS Veritas]] had limped back to Utopia Planitia for repairs after the beating it took from the Sentinel controlled ships. During that time, Nabihah had been acclimatising to life on the ship, along with her roommate [[Charlena Vanlith]], with whom she was becoming rather close. There was not much else to do with most of the crew away on leave. After the repairs had been completed the crew of the Veritas had been invited to Cait to attend the promotion of [[Mei'konda]] to Captain, and his crews reassignment to the [[USS Astraeus]] after the destruction of their previous ship [[USS Montreal]]. | ||
En route, a strange energy pattern reported by astrometrics caused [[Evan Delano]], who was in command as [[Roshanara Rahman]] was still on leave, to alter course to investigate. Near a G class star they found and brought aboard a previously undiscovered Stasis Box, created by the now extinct Slavers. All of these boxes were thought to have been accounted for so the contents, and any kind of defence mechanism the device contained, were a complete mystery. [[Evan Delano]] Set about coordinating research efforts into the contents of the box. After showing the crew a recording of research team being killed in an attempt to open one, he ensured that adequate safety measures were met. Nabihah had been partnered with [[Charlena Vanlith]] and [[Alora DeVeau]] | En route, a strange energy pattern reported by astrometrics caused [[Evan Delano]], who was in command as [[Roshanara Rahman]] was still on leave, to alter course to investigate.

Nabihah had been partnered with [[Charlena Vanlith]] and [[Alora DeVeau]] to scan and study the box while it was kept safe within a containment field. | ||
Nabihah started with a simple non-invasive gravimetric scan, but quantum phase fluctuations all over the surface of the box were interfering. After realising the distortions were occurring in a pattern, she began running calculations so the quantum state of the scanning emissions ran in time to the fluctuations of the box. As the computer was processing this, [[Charlena Vanlith]] began behaving erratically. Nabihah was distracted from helping her friend when her console notified her the calculations were complete. She went ahead and ran the scans but a strange resonance between the Slaver box and the scan emissions caused the artifact to hum. Now hysterical, [[Charlena Vanlith]] yelled at Nabihah to stop, but when she did not the young engineer aggressively pushed the scientist away from the console, onto the floor. | |||
Both Ensigns were upset about the incident and, despite sharing quarters, did not speak to each for the rest of the journey to Cait. While the project was put on hold due to what could have been a strange reaction to it. | |||
