For a spatial anomaly, this is incredibly massive.
In fact, the size of this anomaly even seems to be baffling Captain Picard. He’s been expressing vocal concern on the Bridge, that “it’s bigger in the past”. No one seems to know what he is comparing the anomaly to, but it does reinforce his unusual behavior since he took command. His odd choices, strange public comments, and conflicting orders seem to challenge the trust our crew has in him. This is not a great way to start a new command.
In other updates, our shuttle rescue efforts have turned up disturbing news. The crews of the two Starfleet runabouts, and the three Romulan shuttles, are missing. They weren’t aboard. In addition, all five vessels were powered down, devoid of oxygen, and, in some cases, completely drained of antimatter. Both Starfleet runabouts were also missing integral hardware components, some of which are not easy to remove.
There have also been increased reports of strange occurrences here on the Enterprise as well. A few hours ago, I wrote that various crew had reported old wounds suddenly healing themselves, and permanent scars disappearing. In addition to that, we now have reports of three civilian women who were at different stages of pregnancy, no longer being pregnant. A few parents have reported that their children appear to be “getting younger”. And, numerous personnel have taken on a more youthful appearance, with some even forgetting recent events -- as if those events had never happened. Minor systems glitches have also begun popping up within all ship departments.
I don’t fully understand what is happening at the moment, but it might be wise for us to move away from the anomaly. I don’t think this is radiation affecting us. I think Lieutenant Commander’s theory about anti-time may be more accurate than we realize...
