In 2369, these lifeforms nested in the forced quantum singularity power source of a [[Romulan]] [[ma:warbird|warbird]], not knowing that it was artificial in origin. The presence of the nest deactivated the warbird's power system. Upon realizing that the artificial singularity was unsuitable for their young, two of the lifeforms assumed Romulan form and attempted to extract them. | |||
The [[ma:USS Enterprise-D|USS Enterprise-D]], responding to the Romulans' distress call, initiated a power transfer beam to the warbird. The beam caused a temporal rupture when it came into contact with the lifeforms' nest, effectively freezing both vessels in time and fracturing the flow of time in the surrounding area. The adult lifeforms commandeered the warbird's systems to attack the Enterprise, as the power transfer was damaging the nest. | |||
Captain [[ma:Picard, Jean-Luc|Picard]]along with [[ma:Troi, Deanna|Deanna Troi]], [[ma:Data|Data]], and [[ma:La Forge, Geordi|Geordi La Forge]], who were not on the Enterprise during the disruption, were able to communicate with one of the lifeforms and determine the situation. They prevented the lifeforms from destroying the Enterprise and disconnected the power transfer beam. Once the beam was disconnected, the lifeforms moved themselves, their nest, and the warbird into their native realm. | |||

[[MA:Non-humanoid|Non-humanoid]] aliens who are thought to inhabit [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularities]], although this is speculation drawn from their reproductive habits. Very little data has been recorded that would indicate a description of the likely physical appearance of an adult; however, the aliens are able to take control of a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] host in order to interact with other [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] life-forms. This process is fatal to the host. | [[MA:Non-humanoid|Non-humanoid]] aliens who are thought to inhabit [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularities]], although this is speculation drawn from their reproductive habits.

It is impossible to tell whether or not a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] host has been possessed by a [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularity]] life-form by sight alone. A detailed medical scan will reveal a partially altered body chemistry, and the presence of unusual cells within the host. When occupying a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]], the life-forms have the ability to emit a biochemical discharge capable of sending a [[human]] into neural shock. This process, however, results in the degradation of their own cells, proving fatal within a few minutes of administration, and is therefore used only as a final defensive resort. | It is impossible to tell whether or not a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] host has been possessed by a [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularity]] life-form by sight alone.

The process by which these aliens reproduce is unknown. However, their habits post-birth indicate that their young must nest within a [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularity]], referred to by the aliens themselves as a "gravity well", in order to survive. The [[MA:Singularity|singularity]] must be naturally occurring; an attempt to raise their young in the artificially created [[MA:Singularity|singularity]] at the heart of a [[MA:D'deridex class|Romulan Warbird]] was met with failure. Furthermore, the attempt to repair the [[MA:D'deridex class|Warbird's]] engine core via power transfer from the [[MA:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS Enterprise]] resulted in fragmentation of the [[MA:Space-time continuum|space/time continuum]] with disastrous results: a feedback-pulse induced [[MA:Warp core breach|warp core breach]]. | The process by which these aliens reproduce is unknown.

Little is known of the aliens' psychological characteristics. The only two such entities encountered by [[MA:Starfleet|Starfleet]] were defensive of their young to the point of open hostility. However, after attacking [[MA:Geordi La Forge|Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge]] and sending him into neural shock, one of the life-forms communicated with other members of the [[MA:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS Enterprise's]] bridge crew, explaining the cause of the temporal fragmentation that they were experiencing, and suggesting a solution. | Little is known of the aliens' psychological characteristics.
