The crew on board rushing to their stations as the count down to warp was already commencing. The fighter pilots were wearing their flight suits while down in the ready room. The Engineers at their consoles, and screens watching intently for any signs of anomalies in the energy transfer. Going to Warp was always a task as one false step could rip the very fabric of the universe apart. Because of that Warp is always treated with a sense of trepidation for the ships, and their crews. On the Port side Observation lounge Ivy was running around laughing as she was eager to experience Warp travel again. Even if she experienced it several times before, it was always an adventure. With her was the nurse assigned to keep watch over her this duty shift. The young woman giggling softly at the young girl's antics. While the<em>Musashi</em>was no place for a child, Ivy's mysterious circumstances would prevent the Captain from simply passing her along to someone else without iron clad assurances to her safety.<br/><br/>On the bridge Jeremy was sitting in his command chair, his eye sweeping his own console from time to time. Just outside the windscreen, the<em>Belka</em>was already charging her engines for her warp jump. The<em>Musashi</em>would follow immediately afterwards. The very next instant, the Belka's engines propelled the ship forward and in a flash she was gone. "Captain, 10 seconds to Warp." the Helmsman announced as the familiar chirp of the "Beeper" could be heard as the spatial lines scrolled along the Helmsman's indicator.<br/><br/>9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...WARP!<br/><br/>The Helmsman threw the lever forward as the Flywheels of the Wave motion engine roared deep within the bowls of the mighty battlewagon. Soon, the ship was quickly closing upon the Warp threshold. The bow slamming into some unseen wall right before it simply disappeared from the universe. Leaving a bright flash where it exited.<br/><br/>Once more, the crew of the<em>Musashi</em>were thrown into that "Strange Space" where time, and motion seemly cease to exist. Many of the Crew members having made a game of doing antics right as the ship entered warp and being frozen for that near instantaneous moment in time. Yet, for one this particular warp would have a strange consequence.<br/><br/>Ivy's head moved, and looked around as she took in the frozen pastel colored landscape that was her home. Rainbow colored light washing over the ship, and through it. It was surreal, and a bit scary. This never happened before. As her soft baby blue eyes turned to the large windows of the Observation port, she had a strange sensation of being watched. The spritely young girl looked out of the window, and into the depths of the void beyond. She couldn't shake the sensation of something out there. Then at the edge of her hearing, she heard something. Not the complete and utter silence of Strange Space. She heard<em>music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JktNRlNTfMs)</em>. She couldn't hear words, but the melody was hauntingly soft, much like a lullaby. Yet there was a darkness that hung on the edge of the notes. The notes crept into her mind, and seemed to draw her closer to the window, the endless void. Ivy's hand would reach up and her fingertips would gently touch the glass. The moment they did, the music stopped.<br/><br/>"<em>Fear not young child. I mean you no harm. We'll be meeting soon.</em>"<br/><br/>A voice! A voice spoke to the young child. The voice seemed to emanate from outside the ship, and yet within at the same time. Ivy had been scared many times in her short life, and yet this time she felt a near primal terror seep into the very deepest crevice of her soul. The voice was sweet as honey, and warm as spring sunshine. Yet the young girl's instincts screamed of "Danger". Ivy's hand snapped away from the window as if it had been shocked, a soft whimper uttered as she backed away from the Window. Trying to distance herself from this strange Phantom that was out there.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/67/21/f4/6721f4d04ba3e028eeabbb64a97a86e3.gif)</div>The Musashi would exit its Strange Space, and the nurse assigned to watch over Ivy would let out a surprised "oof" as she felt a sudden weight on her lap. Looking down she saw Ivy huddled close to her. She blinked in surprise at this strange reaction to a Warp. Ivy never acted like this before during a warp. The Nurse let out a sigh as she closed her book, and scooped the young child into her arms. "Come on, I think a good lie down would do ya wonders." The Nurse cooed softly as she stood up to carry the child back to the Infirmary. Not noticing a small puddle of yellowish tinted fluid near the window.<br/><br/>"Captain, we're approaching the Flotilla. The<em>Arizona</em>is requesting security authorization." Charlotte reported. "Give it to them." Jeremy replied as he looked out the wind screen at the two massive fleets that were sitting just in front of the Ship's bow. Like two enormous schools of predatory fish facing off for Territory. Once the Musashi's identity was verified, the super dreadnought was allowed to approach the Earth Fleet. At a Respectable distance away, a large contingent of Gamalis Republic Ships sat. One particularly large one in the center of the formation. "That's the "Home Defense Fleet"." Charlotte stated aloud with a notable amount of awe in her voice. "the Large ship in the center is the Torang, Flagship of the fleet as well for Marshal of the Astrofleet, Melda Ditz." She continued. "I heard she was aboard the Yamato when she was on her way to Iscandar so long ago." The XO whispered to the Captain. Jeremy simply nodded his head before he stood up. "Prepare a seagull over to the Arizona. I'm sure the Admiral will want to discuss the upcoming training with the Captains." He stated before departing the bridge to gather what he needed.
