 On the main front monitor, a tactical display of the Ophiuchus 42 system showed the telemetry downlink from the Gamma Quadrant subspace buoy network.  As with the previous visual on Republic's transporter room viewer, the same elliptical orbital of Gamma Serpentis around the red giant star showed the digital rendition of the pulsating yellow verteron beam overlaid on a grid-patterned background.  Accentuated by an offset text box, the words "USS REPUBLIC" showed the location of the distant Galaxy class starship as it loomed ever closer to the Class-K star.  Starfleet personnel sprinted to different stations as the ship was brought to red alert, and the helm station prepared to break orbit. On the main front monitor, a tactical display of the Ophiuchus 42 system showed the telemetry downlink from the Gamma Quadrant subspace buoy network.  As with the previous visual on Republic's transporter room viewer, the same elliptical orbital of Gamma Serpentis around the red giant star showed the digital rendition of the pulsating yellow verteron beam overlaid on a grid-patterned background.  Accentuated by an offset text box, the words "USS REPUBLIC" showed the location of the distant Galaxy class starship as it loomed ever closer to the Class-K star.  Starfleet personnel sprinted to different stations as the ship was brought to red alert, and the helm station prepared to break orbit.
  
-Suddenly, the computerized dot that represented the gigantic attack platform in the system vanished, immediately followed by an expanding red ring representing a class-ten shockwave.  It followed the termination point of the yellow verteron beam all the way to Ophiuchus 42, reaching the star moments after the Republic disappeared.  An hour after the wavefront surpassed the star, it eventually made it's way to the nearest subspace monitoring buoy a billion kilometers away, causing the entire screen to flicker into fits of static before going black.+Suddenly, the computerized dot that represented the gigantic attack platform in the system vanished, immediately followed by an expanding red ring representing a class-ten shockwave.  It followed the termination point of the yellow verteron beam all the way to Ophiuchus 42, reaching the star moments after the Republic disappeared.  As the wavefront surpassed the star, it generated a subspace interference field so strong, that it overloaded the sensors of the nearest subspace monitoring buoy two light years away, causing the entire screen on the Chancellor's bridge to flicker into fits of static before going black.
  
 "... What just happened?" stared the captain, gawking at the blank screen as the rest of the crew stood speechless.  For his part, the red-haired first officer also took notice of the event, standing up to gape at the unexpected loss of signal. "...
