Gracias, people. I just wanted to know the "canon" explanation of what happened. Frankly, I think it makes for a bit more excitement when your Engineer is forced to cobble together something to hold the only thing in place between you and raw continuum.
The idea being also is that it is a deliberate act of sabotage, intended to throw the party about 16 parsecs out of range of where they have to be.
