[snip]Scans would show the class M world they were orbiting held some ruins! Quite old seeming ones at that, but also interesting being picked up was a civilian vulcan survey ship in low orbit in low power mode. Registry of it in the data banks gave the name VSD Ta’pa registered to the civilian vulcan scientist of the vulcan science directorate Sural. One life sign, Vulcan, was picked up on the planet’s surface below.

“I’ve been running scans on the life form.” Philips said. “He is a well known scientist from Vulcan.”
Lt. JG Philips
Ops OfficerSimon nodded confirming the lifesign also on the tactical computers. He also continued scanning for other ships nearby. “There’s also a vulcan ship in low orbit, the VSD Ta’pa. Power low, registered to the scientist,” Simon added, looking at the tactical display.

Kara peered at her readings and noticed the ruins that presumably the Vulcan scientist was investigating. “Captain, scans are picking up what appear to be ruins, possibly from an ancient civilization?” she posed as she began to run a more detailed surface scan to see whether there was any other evidence of civilization.
Lt (jg) Kara (CSO)
“The scans indicate the ruins are about 100 thousand years old.” Philips said.

Ops Officer”..Noted Lieutenant Philip. Comms open a channel to the Sural I’m surprised someone is out this far I was not informed someone would be here already..” She said.
OOC: Phillip please don’t fill in such detail without asking me first thanks the age is important detail to the sim which your info would be wrong I’ve edited your post to reflect the proper age, thank you

Simon opened a general channel on all frequencies towards the Sural and the Ta’pa to try and get in contact with them. “Channel open, captain,” he confirmed with the captain.

Jasmijn rose an eyebrow, glancing at Drudoc from the corner of her eye. What interest would a Vulcan scientist have in these ruins? Clearly they held significance, if the VSD had anything to do with them. But a single scientist? It seemed odd, despite the Vulcan people’s solitary disposition, he wouldn’t have a research team with him.
Lt. Cmdr. DeVries, XO
No response came from the Vulcan ship so there likely was no one aboard. It took a long moment before finally they got an answer from the surface.
On screen a dirty looking Vulcan man in his late 200 years of life came on the screen from inside a work tent. =/\= Yes who is it? =/\= Came a neutral but slightly snappish tone.
Rising from the center chair Drudoc spoke =/\= Mr Sural this is Fleet Captain Drudoc Andone of the USS Ark Angel. We’re currently in orbit and are surprised to find you and your vessel here while on our mission of exploration. May I ask what you are doing here? =/\= She said.
=/\= A Romulan a sigh of what might pass for subdued annoyance =/\= Was heard. =/\= Captain I have been here for over 5 years studying these ruins obviously. I have made significant progress on locating the ruins of an ancient Chodak outpost. The Federation araglocail society wouldn’t fund my work nor would the Vulcan Science Directorate for staff so I left on my own to be out here. =/\= He said.
Drudoc blinked in some surprise. =/\= A Chodak outpost all the way out here? Interesting sir, I had thought their ruins were still within the Star Empire’s sphere of influence among the subjects of the Gurdian people.. =/\= She said.
=/\= Indeed Captain! If I can locate their central computer core and prove it is as I suspect of the Chodak people it would be the first located so close to Federation space and not inside the Star Empire =/\= He said.
=/\= Mr Sural my ship an— =/\= Drudoc began but then a beeping from tactical interrupted her. =/\= One moment =/\= turning to tactical she said. “..Lieutenant Starr report!..” She said.
Scans Starr would find showed a small ship at high warp leaking drive plasma coming their way, and a static filled hail also being opened.

As the tactical console beeped, Simon looked at the notification from the scans. “Small ship, coming in at high warp. It’s leaking a lot of plasma ma’am, I’ll see if I can get more details,” he said as the ship pinged on the tactical sensors. Just as he was about to begin a more detailed scan, there was a notification of an incoming hail. “Their hailing us, captain,” he informed Andone.
