[Nightfall Phase 2]: Treknobabble Prompt

An underspace aperture has been detected as opening just off the starboard bow of your starship. Alarms are blaring and lights are flashing. There’s something emerging from Underspace at alarming speed, headed directly for your ship. Escape is not an option, as your propulsion systems are non-operational. Sensors tell you the object is dense in nature with no communication or energy emanating from it.

What do you do?

Criteria

• Write creatively, in character, about how your officer or crew would deal with the situation using as much "treknobabble" as possible.
• Submissions should be no longer than 500 words, use the treknobabble to your advantage to make it short.
• Placement will be based on the amount of treknobabble used while still making for a compelling piece of writing, purely in the eye of the competition organizer. The more treknobabble, the better.
