After five days at warp, the Pelican dropped out and went to impulse at the direction of Agent Blue. Scanners showed nothing around them but empty space. Blue stood at the back of the bridge. “Ok, Captain… here is where it’ll get a bit tricky. There is a station out there. A big one. But it’s tucked behind a sub-space distortion that acts like a cloaking device. You’ll get a hail in a few minutes. They’ll ask some weird question that seems wholly random and just.. well, I already said weird. The trick is you have to respond with code words. The words are paired to words they use in their question. You have to give them a sentence in reply using the paired words. And you have to keep your comms open the entire time so they know you aren’t being fed the information by someone else. So when they ask their question, don’t be surprised when I whisper in your ear.” and he chuckled.

Sara settled into her command chair. “Alright. Better have the right code, or this will be one short trip.” She turned her attention back to the bridge. “Helm, bring us closer. Let’s get this done.”

The Helm officer steered them ahead towards, well… nothing… until comms said “Incoming hail, Captain. Putting it through.” There was a brief pause and then a synthetic voice said =/\= Unidentified vessel, stop. Identity verification. I once saw a black cat wearing an umbrella. How much toast does a targ need in order to build a house on Fredelen VII? With a pool and why are there orchids? =/\= Blue leaned in a whispered in Sara’s ear softly “Cone… Flood… Buttermilk… Grandstand… Square… Hive… Green. In that order.”
