He moved and took the center chair. Now to see what else this galaxy had in store for them.

NE Franklin at the helm off to the side spoke up, “..Sir we’re coming up on the unknown system in 2 minutes, shall I slow to impulse?..” He asked.

Rhansi stood, nodding. “Thank you. One quarter impulse just before we enter the system, Ensign.” He tugged at one cuff, straightening a sleeve momentarily before he tapped his combadge.

=^= Rhansi to Andone. We will be entering the unknown system shortly. =^=

He folded his arms, sucking air across the breathers in his mouth. Let’s see what Q has in for us today, he thought.

=/\= Understood Exec, begin scans for any life forms or ships, take us to yellow alert just to be on the safe side. =/\= Drudoc said.

=^= Acknowledged. =^=

“Yellow alert,” Rhansi ordered, repeating the captain’s order. Displays in every section lit to signal the alert, and interfaces shifted to amber. “Begin scanning the system,” he said, turning to tactical. The officer there was already keying commands. Subspace enhanced sensors could scan light-years; a few light-hours would take nearly no time at all.

“In addition to life-signs and vessels,” he added, “check for any signs of warp technology. Warp signatures, ion trails, anything that will tell us whether this civilization is warp capable.” Or should they throw the Prime Directive out the window this far out into the void? He’d need to read up on how Voyager handled things; he’d only had brief mention of them in his Academy lessons. Then again, Ark Angel was a few hundred thousand times farther away than Janeway and company had been.

There was signs of all those things, indeed the inner part of the system was awash with ships of many types showing a sort of trade hub station was in evidence! Technology scans were varied from ships warp capable but only barely but ones more on par with their own systems.

Fayth stepped off of the turbolift with Rainns and Andone and headed to the NEs at the aft science stations. “Report?” she asked them and after speaking to them she headed to her station, sat down and started pulling the data from the external sensors.
