Where did that come from?
174

I am not certain.
Perhaps it came from the node itself.

Well, wherever it came from,
176

in several systems around the ship.

At some level or another,
they're all connected.
180
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:12,710
These nodes
were linking the sensors
181

to our warp control
and defensive systems.
182

We believe this is why
the ship jumped to warp.

When the sensors detected danger,
184
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:21,300
the defensive system
reacted to the threat
185
00:11:21,470 --> 00:11:23,310
and activated the warp engines
to protect us.

Where did the nodes come from?
187
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:28,770
It is possible the magnascopic storm
we recently encountered
188
00:11:28,940 --> 00:11:31,520
had an unexpected effect
on the ship's systems.

When we attempted to examine
the circuitry of one of the nodes,
195
00:11:45,540 --> 00:11:48,460
it generated a force field
to keep us out.

with the replicators.

gone beyond these functions.
