[Bridge]
"Report." said Kathryn walking onto the Bridge.
"it looks like we're running into more spatial distortions." said Tom.
"I'm picking up a highly localised disturbance off the port bow." said Harry.
"On screen. Mister Tuvok?" asked Kathryn.
"It is another type four quantum singularity. Physical and temporal dimensions are identical to the one we encountered earlier." said Tuvok.
"Captain, according to these readings, we've returned to our previous co-ordinates. This isn't another singularity. It's the same one." said Tom.
"Check the navigational logs. Confirm our position." said Kathryn.
"Well, they show we've travelled one point four light years away from the anomaly, but I've confirmed our position against the star chart. We're definitely back where we started. Doesn't make sense." said Ericka looking at her own console.
"They can't both be right. We're either still at the singularity or we're not." said Tom.
"Well, we can see the singularity so I tend to believe that the external sensors are correct." said Kathryn.
"That would imply there was something wrong with the warp drive and the navigational logs." said Tuvok.
"Mister Paris, lay in a course away from the singularity. This time at maximum warp. Ensign Kim, I want you to keep a sensor lock on the singularity. Verify that we're moving away from it. Engage." said Kathryn.
"Distance from the singularity is ten million kilometres and increasing." said Harry.
"Warp engines holding steady. All systems report normal." said Tom.
"Eleven million. Twelve million. (beep beep) I don't get it. Mister Paris, have we altered course?" Harry asked.
"No. We're still steady on three one zero mark two one five." said Tom.
"Then something's really wrong here. It's ahead of us again." said Harry.
"Confirmed. We're back at the same co-ordinates." said Seska.
"All stop. Ensign Kim, transfer all the data on spatial distortions we encountered to my ready room. I'm going to begin my own analysis. Commander, have all departments run complete system diagnostics. I'll expect a full report from all senior officers at fifteen hundred hours." said Kathryn.
"Who will represent Engineering?" asked Ericka curiously.
"Lieutenant Carey." said Kathryn, Ericka nodded accepting the answer.
"You should invite B'Elanna Torres as well, unless you've removed her from consideration." said Chakotay.
"Fine." said Kathryn.
Ericka and Tom looked at each other.
[Engineering]
In Engineering Carey walks over to B'Elanna slightly miffed at her coming to the Staff Meeting.
"The Captain says she wants you to attend the staff meeting this afternoon." said Carey annoyed.
"Oh. Well, I'll give you a full report on what happens." said B'Elanna.
"I'll be there too. Just remember, Torres, I'm the senior officer and I speak for Engineering. Try not to say anything unless someone asks you a question. Fifteen hundred hours, deck one. Don't be late." said Carey.
He walks away and Seska walks over to B'Elanna.
"You should have broken more than his nose." she said, B'Elanna tries not to smile.
