If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck.

After the standard rotation where the graduating cadets went off to their new assignments and the new batch of cadets arrived for their training cruise, the USS Challenger was sent out on a typical patrol run from Sol to Vulcan. Cruising along at Warp 7.25, the 16.5 ly journey would take approximately 8 days and 4 hours. It was enough time for the cadets to settle into starship operations and get a feel for everything before tackling any specific assignment the ship might be given.

3 days into their journey, something of note happened…

On the bridge, there was a ping from the communications array: it was a distress call.

Pilar was filling in for Commander Foley when the distress call came in. As the distinct ping reached her ears, her eyes turned toward the communications console and she looked at the cadet who was manning the station. “It seems we have received what appears to be an important if not urgent message. Please put it on the screen.”

Demil looked up from the science station upon the ping and subsequent order. He brushed a lock of hair out of his eyes and sat back, watching the screen with mind already switching to “catalogue important information”.

Sorazo was sitting at his chair on the bridge when the call came through. He prepared himself to notice their inflections in the voices and other background sounds.
