The Solomon drifted for a moment before the captain got his bearings. "Navigations, where are we?"
"Unknown sir. Not in our solar system," navigation replied, typing away on a glass keyboard. "I'm bringing up the render of our current location based on some scans captain." A hologram appeared in front of Jaeger, showing what their area looked like. The captain made a gesture and the hologram zoomed out, showing nearby stars and nearby, unknown ships.
"None of this makes sense," the captain said as a line opened to engineering. "Samson, how does it look down there? We need those reactors back online if we want to power our weapon systems."
"Should be online in 3... 2... 1. We're online." The chief engineer reported. The ship's emergency red lights were replaced by the white lighting of the ship.
"Battle stations, PDCs online and plasma torpedoes in their tubes." Captain Yaeger ordered. Blue combat lights filled the bridge and the rest of the ship. The XO gestured to the captain, pointing at a hologram depicting the text of several transmissions from the nearby vessels.
"This does not make sense. None of this makes a hint of sense. Where is the doct-"
"Here, captain," Dr. Lavato replied as she entered the CIC. "I believe our universe has merged with other universes in is what is theorized as a multiverse. It's a classic in sci-fi, but to live it is... extraordinary."
"Okay," the captain said slowly, "how did it happen?"
"I cannot explain how it happened. This is way beyond anything we have ever experienced. The other ships may know something. In fact, one of those ships may have brought us here."
The Captain decided he would respond to the man calling himself Colonel Steven Caldwell, as the man seemed to have the same mindset as Yaeger. "Communications, wide beam. I want the Colonel and anyone listening to hear this.
"Channel has been opened, sir"
"Colonel Caldwell, I am Captain Mark Jaeger of the Martian Congressional Republic Navy hailing you from the MCRN Solomon." The captain took a moment to think of his next words. "You and others have mentioned Earth. However, you are not from the Earth we know. My scientist onboard has mentioned a multiverse, if that means anything to you."

- "This is Valtrix Ornus, captain of the Renatus speaking. I ask that you state your identities, intentions, and worlds of origin. I also ask that you refrain from firing upon each other or myself. While I'd like to settle this peacefully, I will not hesitate to unleash the full might of this vessel upon you should things get out of hand."
- "This is the United Nations Space Command destroyer Kearsarge, hailing from Earth on behalf of the Unified Earth Government. Am I to take the addendum as a threat to a military vessel in the service of Earth and her people?"
- "This is Colonel Steven Caldwell of the Earth ship Daedalus. I'm having a little problem in that there are multiple ships here hailing from Earth, and none of them seems to know what's going on. Though I will not risk the lives of my crew, we need to figure out what's going on. I suggest we all put our respective people on it while keeping dialogue open with one another to try and learn as much about this mystery as we possibly can."
- "While the Andromeda is willing to participate in a face to face meeting, we currently lack shuttle craft to facilitate such a meeting. We merely seek to return to Earth as rapidly as possible."

Hey everyone! I've been away from home, keeping myself busy. I will read everything carefully and try to create a post around anything I missed. I'm sorry I didn't give a warning! This just wasn't on my mind, but I still should have said something.
Posting tonight or tomorrow. Had something really cool happen. Been busy with that :)
Thought you guys might find this interesting as you are all nerds like me.
The decks in Expanse ships are built perpendicular to thrust, so that inertia can provide the necessary force to create "artificial gravity" when the ship is underway. Here is an example.
Imagine the ship in the screenshot - one of the frigates carried by my ship and a star on the show - as a sky scraper if it stands on its engine. Like any normal sky scraper, the floors stack up on top of each other and are short, being only as long as the width of the skyscraper rather than the height of the skyscraper. This is different from a Starwars ship, where the decks are in line with the engines.
Anyway, if you ever have to board any of my vessels, keep this in mind. Might help in adding detail to a post! Time for bed... Maybe.
@Sep I was rewatching S2 of The Expanse and noticed a brief mention of the development of inertia dampeners. While not significant to my ship, it could be shown when S4 is released. Thought that was interesting.

MCRN Solomon
Near the main belt between Mars and Jupiter
Near the main belt between Mars and Jupiter
The engagement had been short; the marines were already returning to the Solomon via dropship. Captain Jaeger was proud of his men and women who had held to their training, showing that they were ready for the hardships that any armed forces had to deal with in space. "Well done everyone," the Captain began, "we accomplished the mission and by doing so have guaranteed the safety of the Martian miners and traders planning to come through here in a week. I'd like to tell you to get some R&R, but command wants us ready. You will all be informed when our new orders arrive." His communications officer cut the line and the captain allowed himself some coffee while they waited for MCRN command to relay the next mission.
Several minutes later the orders arrived via encrypted text. They were to deal with more pirates, as expected. The captain was about to get more coffee when several faint vibrations in the ship's hull marked the returning dropships and frigates, meaning it was time to brief the crew on their next mission. A nob told the communications officer once again opened the PA system, "attention all crew. Command wants us to prevent an expected pirate ambush near here. Be ready for a movement burn." After several moments the ship turned to direction and started a 1g burn towards the expected ambush site. The captain held his breath as they returned to the 1g, a feeling he was still getting used to. He didn't grow up in 1g after all, having lived his life on Mars.
The Solomon was about to reach the halfway mark in their journey, where a flip and burn would be performed to decrease their speed. The maneuver was usually seamless when done at low and unvarying accelerations, so the crew wasn't alarmed about it.
"Sir, we are beginning the flip and burn," the navigations officer said.
"Very well, when you are ready."
The captain felt short vibrations of the ship's thrusters through his feet, signaling that the maneuver had begun. Halfway through the quick move, however, a blinding bright light caused the viewscreens to go completely white, and then black with "rebooting" written across them. The Solomon had just flipped into another universe.

Ah right I thought you were getting at creating gravity, which was why I was confused with you throwing in the word anti. Inertia Dampeners are what it's called in most franchises. I know that's what it is in Stargate. I think it's just a way to have the effects negated, but without actually trying to figure out the science.
Looking at you Star Trek.
Nailed it! Thanks for not making me have to Google. We all know how hard that is haha... 😅. I'll need inertia dampeners! And an FTL drive! Stat! Just want to get it out there because I will run into the FTL problem quickly IC. I'll definitely have my crew asking for that technology as soon as they figure out everyone else has it.
<Snipped quote by Mataus>
Well, not so much an anti-grav but a gravity generator.
Considering the only way you get to stand up is with mag boots or with acceleration.
It has its benefits though.
Aye, but an anti-grav device to deal with acceleration/deacceleration Gs. They have a lot of trouble with that in the Expanse. Unless a gravity generator handles all that stuff! I mean technically that acceleration force isn't gravity right? so I don't know...
I probably will end up adding crew, but I'm definitely going to need to cop a FTL drive and an anti-gravity device.
