Just a Random Question

You're in a shuttle, a few parsecs from the Romulan Neutral Zone, and are studying a nebula that gives off weak energy discharges intermittently. Your shields are raised and holding, but you're still experiencing a bit of "turbulence" (for lack of a better word).

Suddenly your shuttle rocks and you notice your shields are down to 80%. What is your immediate response to the situation?

(Only ONE action please)

[Shadowknight1]

Begin a quick sensor sweep for any anomalous readings that could be a cloaked Romulan vessel.

[B5]

began an antipolaron scan looking for a Romulan vessel that has possibly fired on me and cloaked.

Turbulence?  Buckle my seatbelt.

[deadthunder2_0]

Easy...
In one TNG episode, the turbulence from a nebula was causing the shields to buckle, and it got worse when the shields were raised to high levels. Once shields reached maximum levels (for a Galaxy class starship) the turbulence would destroy the ship. Now the Effect of full shields on an Oberth class vessel did not destroy it. Since the shields on a shuttle are relatively weak the solution would have to be......
Drop the Shields.

And I say, bounce a gravaton particle beam off the main deflector dish.

And I say, bounce a gravaton particle beam off the main deflector dish. 

that works for everything... oh and don't forget to make S*** up xD

oh and as for me I'd quickly scan the area and attempt to reinforce the shields.

[majormagna]

That's two actions Neb; which would you do first?

There are a number of possible, and viable, reactions; including, but are not limited to:
Scanning the area to determine the reason you've been wrenched out of your seat.                               Supposedly the Engineers respone.
Moving your shuttle further from the nebula/nothing. (Meaning you assume it was the nebulaes doing)       Supposedly the Scientists response.
Taking immediate evasive/aggressive action. (Meaning you assume it's an enemy vessel)                         Supposedly the Tacticians response.
RUN AWAY.     (AKA, The Cowards Response)
And bouncing a gravaton particle beam off the main deflector dish.                                                      The "Make S**t up as you go Along" Response.

[Nebula]

oh woops I'd go for shields then xD

[Morgan]

Divert power to the shields and scan for anomalies and ships.

[Nebula]

you made the same mistake as me here xD you can only do one of those two things.

[Shadowknight1]

Even though you can easily do both things within a few seconds with the nice user friendly LCARS interface in front of you. :angel

[mckinneyc]

I wouldn't panic

[B5]

hit self destruct because you can 

[CyAn1d3]

refer to the "montgomery scott tips and tricks" manual....

[1DeadlySAMURAI]

Start scanning for a cause.

[Shadowknight1]

hit self destruct because you can 

  You'd probably be the first Starfleet officer to be posthumously dishonorably discharged.

Wonder why the hell I'm along the Romulan Neutral Zone in a friggin' shuttle. Or just panic. I dunno.
