Wann came out of his quarters and headed for the mess hall. He decided to have a late-night meal after his shift. As he was thinking about what he wanted to eat he walked past the quarters of the Security chief as he came out. He gave a
nod to the Chief. "Hello, Lieutenant Stevens. On your way for dinner too?"

Harry replied "Yes I was as a matter of fact," looking at the Lieutenant, he asked," Is there a problem I need to know about? as it was late and having come off of duty and all Harry wanted to do was have dinner and curl up in bed and sleep, Even without his wife beside him and his faithful dog Sif he felt more alone than ever.

"No, no problem, I was heading to dinner myself. I just thought you might want some company at dinner." Wann offered. "I am Tinyo Wann by the way, chief of Operations. I am also new on the ship. You can call me Wann, Tinyo is my family name." He tapped his nose ridges, indicating he was Bajoran, as he smiled.

"Harry stevens, Chief Security officer," replied Harry looking back at the Ops chief, "But you can call me Harry," he stated as he gave a smile to him, he continued, "and Sure you can join me for Dinner, its that I have had a rough day that's all," having to file reports and doing training drills with each of his section heads and their teams. as he hoped nothing would interrupt his dinner.

"Oh tell me about it," Wann said, "I myself had a busy day myself. Getting on a new assignment is always a lot of hassle. Meeting the captain, first officer, and of course, straightening out the new department. Apparently, my department had seen many temporary heads, but never a steady head. It is a good thing I came. And don't forget the new tech we're not familiar with. I am pretty sure your department had to deal with it as well. I read reports on a second shielding, possible need weaponry. I haven't gone through all the specs yet. I am still wrapping my head around the fact there is an entire alternate universe out there with all this tech."

"Yeah, tell me about it" replied Harry looking at the officer that had joined him, he continued, "All I have been doing today is the meet and greet of the security officers and get to know them," as he knew that tomorrow he would have another batch of greetings to do. He also knew that he had to inspect the ships Armory and Secondary armoury as well before they left port.

Wann nodded as they walked into the mess hall. It's was quiet for the time. A lot of officers had gone to bed. Just a few late shift officers and a few officers coming from their shift were present. As they walked in the lights suddenly turned off. After a few seconds, the lights flickered back on. All present officers were shocked at their new surroundings.

Next to the replicators some old snack machines. With black letters, it said Bacon soup. Around the place, there were a few cartoon cardboard cutouts. Wann saw them on Earth once in a museum. Also with black inky letters was written on the walls. "The Creator Lied to us" and "Dreams come true". The lights were still someone dimmed, and one of the entrances to the mess hall was boarded up with planks.

"Ok, this is interesting," Wann said as he looked around. Some of the officers seem a bit disorientated by this. "Should I be out fixing the lighting or maybe the holo emitters?" He turned to Harry.

"Yep, this is totally weird," as he knew this was not right and how on earth had this happened as there were no Holoemitters in the mess hall, he looked back at his new friend and tapped his combadge +/\= Stevens, to all Security officers, be ready to assist when needed and keep your eyes peeled, Stevens out=/\=

Then the Captain's voice came over the comm system. "This is the Captain speaking. All senior staff report to the Observation lounge immediately."

"Harry replied, " I think that's the end of our Drinks, Wann?" as he rose from his chair, he asked him, "How do you think we are going to get out of here?"

Wann looked around. "How about we just go back the way we came and see if the turbo lifts are working? If not, I can make them work. Being the Operations chief and all." He then made his way out of the mess hall. The hallways were no different, they were affected too. He walked to the lift and then pressed the button. Fortunately, the doors wished open and as they did a cardboard cartoon fell out. Wann jumped a little backward as he did not see that coming. "Oh for prophet's sake, didn't see that coming." He pushed it away and then went into the lift, he waited patiently for Harry to enter as well. He then said, "Deck 1, Observation lounge."

Harry did a second look at the cardboard figure that lay on the ground as the doors closed behind them, Harry remarked "Something is afoot My dear Watson and looks like we have a mystery to solve," as things were a bit strange and how on earth had it got like this? as the lift started to move up to its destination. he also started to hope that the Captain was ok and that the bridge was not affected like the corridor was, However; he knew that his feeling in his gut told him otherwise.
