Once the order to launch was given both the modified probes were launched from the Ark Angel. The recon probe sent to the J17 system ahead of them would arrive within 10 minutes. The second stellar observation probe, would arrive at the further distant nebula with the space borne helium organisms in about 30 minutes.

As the minutes ticked by the recon probe soon arrived on station. Its first passive ping of scans picked up the cometary debris that the Volgograd had been earlier near. The Volgograd’s hull, now it seems torn into three parts, was picked up to be passively drifting about 200km to port from the probe. No signs on passive scans showed power, or life on ruined Moscow class Surveyor ship. It was simply a dead trio of hulks in space. The age of the hull though seemed strange, it was as if stellar matter had been impacting the unprotected hull ripped up hull for hundreds if not thousands of years!

Further on passive scans within the J17 system showed an interesting find, on passive scans the system seemed much as they had been showing before both on scans and otherwise. It showed on scans an inhabited system with now 9 low warp capable ships with another 20 in system patrol crafts and mining stations and such. But visually the system looked ancient, like it was some long gone grave yard of destruction the tubular remains of the ships were slightly more advanced then the ones on scans maybe another 100 years in advance/development. But now they were torn apart as if by a great force from the outside had tossed them about like a toy with great hands in anger. The planets equally all showed like some massive hand of a God had chewed through them, the gas planets were likely tiny pin pricks of dust and the double solar bodies on either side of the system were the only semi-sense of normalcy both spinning lazily about on their orbits as if nothing had ever happened.

The only other readings being picked up were the distant radio and subspace radio ancient traffic in the region, echoing like some kind of pulse or the like. Then just as all this got recorded and sent back to the Ark Angel, the signal of the probe showed it seemed to be shaking and being tossed about like a chew toy, the last split second image they had coming in with heavy blur was what seemed like some kind of sharp object/creature. Then everything went dark and the signal ended.

Meanwhile the stellar collection probe was still on its way to the nebula.

“Tu es sérieux ?” said Johnathan as he viewed the data streaming in. “What did we just see? Is this data even, correct? I mean come on it’s like we are viewing things through some type of weird time speeding lenses.” He was truly perplexed at the data, then an idea hit him “We need to scan that damn comet, like now. Also, I think we need to advise the Commodore to go all stop until we get a better grip on the situation.” He said to Lieutenant Hobbes.

Kaden looked up for a second and looked at Baptist with a strange face. He attempted to ask a question related to what was said by the Ensign, “What in the world did you just say, Baptist? It sounds like French but I am not a French speaker. That was a very odd extremely quick splash of data. Do we have anything else recorded by the computer other than what little was provided before the probe exploded?” Kaden was in awe with the extreme change in data and how quickly the probe had been destroyed. He was hoping the data from the comet would be coming soon. Kaden believed there might be something in the comet causing all of this. Kaden then asked the computer, “Computer, do we have any additional data other than what was seen by our eyes before the probe disintegrated?” He waited on the computer to respond.

Johnathan turned a little red and looked at Ensign Buchana, “Sorry, closest translation would be ‘are you serious’, the data stream caught me off guard and sometimes I revert to French. My parents insist we speak only French in the house when we are together, something about keeping French Canadian culture preserved.” Johnathan returned to the data and played it back as slow as he could; there was no doubt in his mind that the probe had entered a temporal rift. “Ensign Kaden, I am not an expert on Temporal Mechanics but I would but a years’ worth of Romulan Ale that our probe entered a temporal rift. What do you think?”

“Whatever it was has completely voided our previous intel of the area…” Gavin said as he approached the pair. “Sending anyone into the vicinity of the planet would be a suicide mission at this point.” LtJG Stacey added, turning his attention to Buchanan.

“Exec sent me down here to see how feasible it would be to take the mobile emitter specs from Voyager’s doc, and apply it to one of our EMHs,” Dr. Stacey inquired. He was no Engineer, and beyond general maintenance of the medical equipment he used, Gavin would have little to no knowledge on how to create such a device. “Besides creating the emitter, we do need to worry about the degradation of the hologram too.”
