The impulse engines on the USS Pilgrim flared red as the ship pulled alongside the alien craft. Joran's ship floated aimlessly through space -- everyone on board was either unconscious or in a deep state of confusion. The crew of the alien ship was under the mental influence of a "magic box", very similar to the device that had affected Dr. Hartley and Ensign Li. But now that the box had been beamed to the Pilgrim, the alien crew was in a state of withdrawal.
"Captain," Mr. Pratt said, "It looks like the alien ship is losing power. From what I can tell, everyone in their engineering section is unconscious. I don't think they're capable of any tactical action against us."
The thumbtack-shaped alien ship, which had previously been such a threat to the Pilgrim, drifted peacefully in front of the ship. In the distance, a binary star system can be seen -- one blue sun, one yellow sun.
Malitzka's internal chronometer alerts her that the current time is 1500 hours.
((This is open to all Pilgrimers!))

As Pratt finishes his sentence, the turbolift door closes on Li as it races towards main engineering. Li takes a deep breath, the memories of his experience with the box fresh in his mind now. Clearly the Prophets gave that experience to him for a reason...but what was it? What is the point of the box except to make those who possess it babble like fools? Li's thoughts are interrupted as the turbolift flashes open.
Li strides towards main engineering, eeger to check on Aria and the ship's systems after the battle. He walks in and passes by Aria at a console. Li gives her a quick peck on the cheek and resumes his post at his usual station, assessing the damage that he and Aria would need to start repairs on.

Maintains the full weapons lock on the alien ship until the Captain orders otherwise. She calls up a six man security detail, but orders them to equip themselves for rescue operations. Full rescue gear complete with medical and first aid kits to support any medics sent over given the rather unique medical situation aboard the Pilgrim. She orders side arms only.
To the command staff...
"Captain, Commander security detail with rescue gear standing by. I recommend they accompany any away team given the chaos and confusion we expect to find over there. I request to join the away team as well."

Aria smiled at Li, "So I tried to keep up with what i could down here but what happened up there that I missed? Besides a few potholes in the road that knocked pily around a smidge that is."

Li looks over at her as he is tapping away at his console.
"Some sort of alien ship...they were under the influence of another one of those weird boxes. Once we beamed the box onboard, it was like we cut their strings."

Aria stopped what she was doing shooting him a concerned look, "It's not affecting you again right?"

Li shakes his head as he goes about his work.
"Not as far as I'm aware of...I'll let you know if I start seeing gibberish again."
Li smirks at that last bit.

She smiled and nodded at that, "What about the other ship? Did they suffer much damage?"

Li nods.
"They really weren't much of a match for us...I don't know why they attacked."

"Probably that box thingy. Remember that planet we found with a bunch of crashed ships on it when first investigating it. If it could make people do that picking a fight with someone they can't win against would probably be easy. You think the Captain might send us to go fix her up after we make sure Pily is fine? I love examining alien ships it's always fun to see if they went with the same solutions to universal engineering problems or something new and exotic." Aria said smiling excitedly at the prospect of poking around in the belly of a foreign vessel.

Li grins at the prospect of getting to examine an alien ship.
"I hope so..."

Lieutenant commander Neil Donovan maintains his watchful gaze over the bridge. He monitors the situation developing on the strange alien ship.
The Klingons security officer, Lieutenant Valkriss looks up from her console. "Captain, Commander security detail with rescue gear standing by. I recommend they accompany any away team given the chaos and confusion we expect to find over there. I request to join the away team as well."
Donovan strokes his chin, sage like. "Excellent work lieutenant. Permission granted for you to join the away team. Under the circumstances that is probably for the best. We will send the security team over first to secure the vessel. Afterwards we can send over medical and engineering teams as needed."
