Duty Log, Stardate 9901.19

Head held in her hands over her science lab console, Jen is still pondering the how, what and why's of the void. Looking over the probe's data, she begins voicing her thoughts unconsciously. "OK ... "At the first sound of her voice, she sits up quickly, hoping no one heard her. She looks around, and thankfully sees that no one else is in the lab at the time.

Settling back down to her analysis, "The probe is coming near the anomaly ... and it's all normal space. Here, it just reaches the rift, and everything changes." She inputs information into her console to slow down the rate of information to the exact milliseconds before the probe enters the rift. "Come on ... let's see what you've got here ..." She halts the display on the EM band changes they noticed on the bridge. On her PADD, she makes a notation of it.

For several hours, she pours over the data, bit by bit. Eventually, she has a PADD full of notations, and no ideas on how to get out of the Void, as the people of the ship are calling it. "OK, Jen, knock off for the night. This whole mess will be here in the morning." She wearily gets up, grabs the PADD, and closes down the lab for the night, and heads home.

Upon arriving in her quarters, she drops the PADD on the beside table, and readies for bed. She crawls in between the sheets, and says, "Computer, lights out." Just as the lights dim, she sits bolt upright in bed, saying, "I've got it! ... I hope. Computer, lights." She makes some notations on the PADD, about scanning the EM frequency that is out of whack with "regular" space to find the rift to get "home." She walks over to her computer console, and attaches the PADD to it. "Computer, download the contents of this PADD to both Ensign Fulton, and Ensign Cates' computers, and mark it for them to read."

The computer, in it's monotone voice, responds, "Your message has been sent." With that, Jen heads back into her bed room to attempt to find sleep again.
