His explanation made more sense than previously and she pressed her lips tightly together but nodded all the same. Logical beings had very little use for deception. She should know. And without any proof otherwise, she had no reason to doubt him further in regards to these shapeshifters of his.
The readings on the scanner, however, were another matter, and she stared at them a long time before speaking. "Temporal shifting," she murmured, eyes scanning the data. "It is not exactly the same, but the results are similar. "A phase shift would perhaps better explain the phenomenon. It is common amongst my kind when we are in close proximity. It is an alignment of sorts between ships. But I have no idea what would cause such a thing here, assuming it is either option. Though perhaps..." She trailed off, rubbing her temple. "Perhaps we are not alone on the ship after all." There was no real sense in keeping her theory to herself at this point and she sighed. "Perhaps we have shifted out of phase. It is not that we are alone on the ship; it is that we exist outside normal space-time."
But even if that were the case, it didn't explain how.
