Three Large Anomalies

We, with the help of Captain Sam Archer and his crew, have identified three large anomalies, one of which should lead back to our native reality. Those three anomalies were determined by cross-referencing our original warp heading, determining the mathematical moment at which we were forced out of warp, and assuming that the anomaly coordinates in this reality, are the same as the anomaly in our reality. We likely hit the anomaly terminus in our reality, and violently dropped out of warp – through the anomaly – into this reality.

The odds of this kind of thing happening, even once, are astronomical. It shouldn’t be possible. On the other hand, the Enterprise does appear to be a ship prone to defying the odds, so… here we are, stranded in an alternate reality, looking for a way home.

Commander Riker, and a team of Enterprise scientists and engineers, are currently aboard the Serenity, as the civilian vessel takes another close-up look at those three selected anomalies. This time around, the plan is to send microprobes through the event horizon of each anomaly, and investigate the data they send back. Theoretically, that should give us a better look at the local space in each of those realities. From there we may be able to determine the correct anomaly that leads back to our Federation.

Now, keep in mind, this is all theoretical. To my knowledge, this has never been done before. We have no guarantees as to the outcome, however, we will do our best to target the most likely anomaly. We will get this right. It is doubtful that we will have a second chance to try again.
