Sai'tan personal log.

[Nevian]

Personal log entry..1006.

The chaos of the past few weeks has been tiring. I have been able to restore most of my enzymatic needs on the slow trip to the Bazaar aboard the Big Red.

I had a moment of time dilation during a high stress event today accompanied by an apparent hallucination of my wife.. and an unusually clear recollection of a glimpse of a report from memory. A complete medical examination is needed. I suspect my neural network has begun to degrade and onset of dementia may have started.

Continuing.

On the mission we discovered a runabout that seems to have been built on a doctoral candidate design project I've given my advanced students in past years.

A quantum scan indicates this is craft is not from our timeline. I submit, as a theory, that timeline's Starfleet special projects acquired the designs for off the book operations. This leads to questioning if our Special Projects Division has done the same.

The Quam's computer has allowed me limited command access, this fact leads me to wonder of that other universe Sai'tans' involvement in the building of this craft. There are locked files that I cannot access however I can determine from the system logs that the mission specialists, Hannagin and Kutach, were torn apart at a cellular level during the transition from their universe to ours.

The dusty residue that coated the interior forward compartment is all that remains of their bodies. I have cleaned all the surfaces and recovered the mass of two humans, less the water of their bodies which has gone into the life support system.

The craft's computer is very advanced, cutting edge to our technology. More of an advanced expert system than a true AI, it has the ability to anticipate and to some degree extrapolate contingencies. The other universe has a superior programmer, I will try learn his or her techniques as the system has recognized me as having authority to read it's source code.

The weapons technology is also state of the art, I need to go over the weapons system thoroughly to document how a frigate beam weapon was fitted onto a craft this size.
Further curiosity to be satisfied is how a blend of holographic technology and particle synthesis gives this craft such a miniscule sensor signature. By no means a cloak, the technology appears to be an upgrade of very old military techniques.
