The trip was calm, smooth. The USS Memorial emerged from warp close to Eridion. There was no immediate sign of… anything. The planet and its lone moon were both silent, drifting through space quietly. The small structure of the former Starfleet base was in the northern hemisphere, under what looked like a snowstorm hurricane. The distress signal had stopped, but the base was still there…

As they arrived at Eridion, the Lieutenant began to pick up with her scanning, fingers dancing over the tactical systems. First, scanning local space around the moons, and then on the surface, looking for thermal signatures that might indicate any sort of power supply or active technology. And then looking for tachyon or exotic particles, anything that might indicate a cloaked ship or other facility. Just in case this was an ambush.

There was no sign of cloaked ships or facilities, but beneath the surface was a faint thermal and power signature. Though somewhat hard to detect through the weather, it was definitely present.

Maria frowned at the readings. While Tralla had yet to request any information, feeling it was better to be proactive, the lieutenant. “Captain, local space seems clear. I’m not picking up anything in our vicinity unless it’s hiding behind a celestial body. No heat coronas in space, no tachyon emissions. Nothing cloaked that I can pick up. However, there’s something throwing off heat down on the planet.” She tapped a few buttons, bringing up a map of the planet and the marked coordinates of the base, comparing them to the location of the thermal signature on her screen, but not the main viewer yet.

“Sensors are having a bit of trouble getting better resolution with the ongoing storm. The weather looks pretty rough.”
