Out Of "The Shadows"

We have successfully pulled the trapped Kraxxos vessel out of “The Shadows”, the “Black Nebula”, or whatever you want to call it. Both the Enterprise and the trapped vessel are no longer inside the phenomena. The power of our warp engines, and our auxiliary tow cable did the trick. We have successfully completed our rescue attempt.

Unfortunately, when we emerged from “The Shadows”, the smaller Kraxxos vessel was nowhere to be found. They appear to have left the area while we were inside the nebula, and because our sensors weren’t operational (due to the energy particles), we were unable to record their departure. Why they left, and where they went is unknown.

Also of significant note, is the new debris field just outside the nebula. Our initial analysis indicates that the amount of debris is too extensive to be from the smaller Kraxxos vessel. So that leaves us wondering – what ship was destroyed while we were conducting our rescue, and where did the smaller Kraxxos vessel go?

And, if that isn’t mysterious enough, we have hailed the larger Kraxxos ship -- that we rescued from “The Shadows”, and they aren’t responding. They are severely damaged (although, intact), and our limited scans of the ship suggest that there are no life signs aboard. Given the nature of our rescue, and the damage to the larger Kraxxos ship, it is likely that a shuttle away team will be sent over to investigate. If there are injured over there, it is our responsibility to assist.

On the other hand, the new mysteries we now face require caution. We weren’t inside “The Shadows” for long, and we do not appear to have traveled through time. So, what’s going on?

Gamma Shift is going to have a busy morning.
