As the Ark Angel made her way to the coordinates given them by the First Federation, the sensor alarms began to chime indicating the presence of another ship in the vicinity.

Ciaran heard and saw the sensor alarms as they came out of warp. He was expecting there to be a ship but needed to confirm what it was. He then said, “Tactical, can you confirm the ship type and configuration via a scan?” He needed to do this quickly. He also then said, “Helm, please prepare evasive maneuvers if needed.” He wanted to be prepared just in case it was not a first federation ship.

Tak quickly began to calculate evasive maneuvers, checking to make sure the maneuvering controls were ready to go.

As tactical ran the scans for identifying the ship they found that it indeed was a First Federation Flagship by the name of HMS Fesarius II.

“Blimey - never thought I’d see a First Federation ship up close!” Kyle let out a long whistle.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

Tak continued to be ready for evasive maneuvers.

Fortunately no evasion was necessary as the comms sounded with a call from the First Federation ship.

“Put the call up on the screen, Lieutenant Anders.” T’Shura ordered.

Commander T’Shura XO

Kyle tapped a control, “Aye Commander.”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

T’Shura straightened her shoulders and faced the screen squarely as the video com came on. On screen was a typical looking human male in a First Federation uniform. The rank pips on his collar revealed he was probably a Commander.
He nodded to T’Shura in acknowledgement.=^=Good day, Commander. I am Commander Don Nobles, Commander of the First Federation Fleet in this sector. Thank you for your prompt response to our call. As I am sure you have been briefed, we have an old First Federation freighter from about 2101 that keeps appearing in this sector like a ghost. Our equipment is not advanced enough to triangulate for it or know how to bring it back into our time and space. We hope that you are capable of doing this for us.=^=
T’Shura nodded back and then waited and listened to the other Commander, “Yes, Commander that is what we have been informed of. I am sure with our Science department we can resolve this issue. Do you have any more detailed information of where the ship appeared and how long ago was the last sighting?”
Commander Nobles shook his head,=^=All we have is that it was in this sector and the last sighting was a week ago.=^=
“Thank you, Commander. Will you be remaining in this sector while we search?”
=^=Yes, Commander. If it is alright with you, we will shadow you in your search. My government would like us there to claim the Kringle once you are successful.=^=
“Understood, we will keep you apprised.” T’Shura said with another nod as the comms faded to black.

T’Shura turned in her chair to the Science station, “Ensign Tak, how would you suggest we attempt to scan for a ship that is moving in and out of space/time?”

“A wide-band scanning pattern, perhaps? If it is only present for a short period of time, our best chance would be to cover as much area as possible at each moment in time.”

Ensign Tak
Science Officer USS Ark Angel
OOC: My apologies, I could have sworn I answered this post.
IC:
T’Shura frowned in thought a moment, “A wide band, certainly but we need to detect a ship lost in a space/time disturbance. If it could be done with regular scans, I am sure the First Federation would have found it. Ensign, do a wide band scan using the temporal and spatial scanners. Concentrate on the coordinates that they gave us and spiral out from there.”

Commander T’Shura XO

Tak nodded, and immediately began following T’Shura’s instructions.

It did take some time as the Ark Angel searched the area in a spiral grid pattern moving out from the last known coordinates but finally the science console beeped with the discovery of a higher area of tachyons.

Ciaran noticed the science station was going on and said, “Science, do we have any information about the scanning for tacyons?” He waited for a response. He was ready to see what oddities were occurring and knew they needed to get the ship back to normal space.
