"What do you mean, none of the stars are unrecognized?" asked Thaddeus.

"They, just aren't," said Malithak.

Thaddeus looked to Aurora, "He's right. These don't even look close to any of the known star configurations."

"Confirm it with the other ships," ordered Thaddeus.

"They are having the same problems, too," Aurora replied after a few seconds.

"Call a meeting in an hour, I want a fleet damage report by then," said Thaddeus.

Thaddeus walked off the bridge. He walked to the turbolift, "Deck D."

The turbolift took a second before the doors opened again. Thaddeus walked of the room to where he saw Logan working many stations at once. He was clearly stressed.

"Captain," he said changing a few dials.

"Thought you might need help," Thaddeus said.

"Those communication arrays need a few retuning," Logan pointed, "The wormhole has changed a few ship systems. Nothing I can't handle."

Thaddeus walked to the Communications terminal and began doing a reconfiguration. He kept looking at the terminal, "Do you have any navigation skills?"

"No, why?" asked Logan unaware of the fate of Irving.

"We've lost our navigation officer today," said Thaddeus sorrowfully.

Logan stopped his rapid work and turned around, "Irving?"

Thaddeus nodded.

Logan returned to fixing the engine settings, "An hour on the mission and we lost an officer."

"And we're lost. With the wormhole closed."

"Your kidding me."

Thaddeus finished the reconfiguration and stepped away from the console, "There's a meeting in an hour, you're apart of it."

"Yessir."

Thaddeus walked into the turbolift, his attempt to open up more to Logan failed. He sighed and said, "Deck A."
