With the situation worsening by the moment, the science and engineering departments aboard the Hades began to notice abnormal violations of physical laws. These violations were clearly affecting high-order energy interactions, such as magnetic fields, ion flow and plasma dynamics. These affects were believed to be caused by a sort of time dilation that focused around phenomenon, such as antimatter/matter annihilation, magnetic constriction and nuclear decay.  Although not provable, indications were present in the form of an on-going tachyon event detected outside the Onyx, which may have been indicative of a prolonged [[matter]]/[[antimatter]] annihilation event.  

While Lieutenants Bracken and Haynes worked hard to define the event, Lieutenant Darla Wright theorized that the time dilation did not prevent the events from taking place, but slowed them to the point that the systems could not function off off the minuscule energy being produced.  This explained, at least in theory, why the impulse reactors seemed to have failed to the point that all fusionable materials seemed to stop decay, without shifting atomic structure, and why the warp core seemed to have gone dead. To further support her theory, she observed that the antimatter located in the runabouts, had not exploded despite the appearance that there was no functional magnetic containment field to prevent matter/antimatter collision.

As she was working on her theory, The science team latched onto a theory of their own involving the concept of an Alternative Factor. This factor is a joining of two universes, one the prime universe and the other an [[Antiverse]] that had somehow been allowed to seep through the barrier separating the two existences. Evidence of this was located in the old ships logs of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701, in which [[Science Officer]] [[Spock]] had detailed an encounter with such an event.

With a reasonable explanation to what was taking place, as well as a confirmation of Lieutenant Wright's theory, a plan of action was implemented among the chaos.
