Glen thought that the information that they had on this mission was sketchy at best. Turning in his chair to face the Comms, he asked Inola, “Has any further information been sent from Commander Delany’s office regarding the race we are to contact?”

Inola looked down at the console for a moment before turning to respond. “No sir.”

-Inola, Comms

“Hmm! Keep all channels open, monitor for any hails!” Glen told Inola

Turning to Science, he told Lt. Grey, “Enable periodic scans for subspace or other anomalies, please.”

William nodded at the Captain’s order the turned around and started a subroutine to start regular anomalous scans.

Turning to Security, he told Hal, “Enable threat detection and automatic alert logic monitoring. I don’t want any surprises.”

Glen sat back into the Captain’s chair and watched the starscape on the viewscreen. He hated all the waiting as they travelled the vast distances through space. Really, they should use this time to prepare, but how could you prepare for the completely unknown.

Glen asked his First Officer, “Kord, do you have any feelings or pertinent thoughts?”

With their course set things would be hopefully quiet in the next few days. Scans as they went showed little of interest. Eventually they reached their first target, but the system while having been visited by their mysterious warp pulse bread crumb didnt have anything worth to show them other then that the system held planets and moons. The 10 planetary system held two class M worlds, both rich in ocean life and mineral deposits none though were intelligent based. The moons also held deposits of fair grade dilthium and other lower grade metals.

The warp pulse here was about two weeks old, a faint sublight impulse trail, moving about .10c barely a quarter impulse on their charts, was also picked up looping around the system, obviously showing some kind of survey work. Scans didn’t pick up anything familiar it was clearly a new race! After what seems a day or so the mysterious alien ship came about to the system’s edge and went back to warp, again barely breaking warp 1 in flight speed angled off further into unexplored space towards what would be their second system target.
