Multicoloured lights flashed across the EEH hardlight construct that served as the programs face as reports poured in at lightning speeds from the observation lounge, sickbay, the bridge, and even the transporter room. With Ensign Liara monitoring the gatekeeper and engineering systems for spikes, Lewis rerouted and tied system after system together, reconfiguring the holo-emitters to run as microburst transporters, rerouting power from nonessential systems to the filter and containment field units, setting the replicators to mass produce gel packs, and a myriad of other feats of engineering Skill that would have made most flesh and blood engineers cringe. Smiling he tied the entire sequence together and sent the final product to the bridge earmarked for the Captain, Authorization Code: Macnair Alpha Omega.<br/><br/>" I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end." Lewis quoted solemnly feeling a sense of the religious was somehow appropriate.<br/><br/>"I cant believe the good fortune that you were included in this assignment, Lewis.  That took some doing.  Your 'father' wasn't ready to let you go just yet!"<br/><br/>Lewis looked up suddenly realizing that he had effectively spaced out due to his focus on the setup of the purge of the chronitrons. He had just opened his mouth to respond to the complement when the old man disappeared from the chair he was sitting in. Beside him Ensign Liara also disappeared. He was alone.<br/><br/>Bathed in the light of yellow klaxons only Lewis monitored the program as it worked. Tree hours later the computer chirped =/\= Chronitron radiation levels zero point zero six two percent. transporter ready to engage final sequence. =/\= Lewis simply replied =/\= engage =/\= and smiled as white flashes of light coalesced into his crewmates. Hmm he thought if this is what it looks like everytime I am turned back on no wonder everyone is creeped out.<br/><br/>"What can you make of the interactions between the ships particles and whats out there?  Is there any sort of interaction or are they gathering?  Note my interest is curiosities sake only!" Dun continued like he'd never left; completely unaware that he was no longer a man of ninety but his regular thirty one years. Lewis laughed out right. "Actually sir, the full reports already on your desk. I put it together while you were offline."<br/><br/>=/\= Bridge to Engineering. My appreciation Lieutenant. I'm not dead. =/\=<br/><br/>Lewis looked at the ceiling and just shook his head "Least I could do captain. Glad to be of service."<br/><br/><br/><br/>
