Sorry for the short chapter, had a lot going on here at the moment between work and life.

Scotty sits in the transporter room going over the logs from the incident. His eyes scanning the lines and streams of data that to anyone else without his experience wouldn't make any sense. He replays the transport again and again until he spots an anomaly, with a couple of taps with his fingers he zooms into it.

"Whit are you? Eh? You're no meant to be there."

Picking up a data pad he taps in some commands then heads over to the transporter pad, cables, bits of plastic and metal surround the dismantled pad, some of the cables attached to recording and monitoring equipment. It's not standard procedure to take the pads apart, but then he is no ordinary engineer, if he had caught anyone else trying to do this to his ship he'd tell them where to go.

He picks up a data pad that's connected to a wire and frowns, the energy signature doesn't look entirely like that of a weapon, packs a punch but appears to have a purpose other than stun or kill…he's seen something similar. He disconnects the data pad dropping the cable on the floor, turning he heads out at speed.

Bones is tending to an ensigns arm, sealing up a cut when Scotty bursts into the room.

"Doctor!"

"Unless you're dying Mr Scott you can wait a minute." He finishes with the ensign then turns to the engineer. "What is it?"

"Look at this." He shows Bones the data pad with energy signature.

"I'm a doctor not an engineer what the hell am I looking at?"

"This doctor is the same energy reading as a cortical stimulator" Scotty points to the pattern.

"And?" Bones is starting to get impatient.

"I found this in the transporter logs, only in the pad the Captain was on, it's no a normal reading. I think the weapons they used are designed for this very purpose it's either that or it is somehow that the transporter energy and the weapon energy combined and well wiped his memory.

Bones looks over at Kirk who is in his office looking through the things on his desk. "Can you rig something up so we can recreate it? If we can test it out find out if that energy is what caused it perhaps we can try and find a way to reverse it or if it is at all possible."
