Melissa listened for a moment “Ma’am, we could send a small team over to see what’s going on and offer assistance if needed.” She suggested.

MCO

Max took his spot and nodded “yes Sir” he said.

Lt. (j.g.) Woods, Armory

“Comms, open hailing frequencies and hail the station. ” T’Leia said not wanting to send over a team into the unknown. The Captain had wanted to leave but it would not delay them much in checking this out first. She glanced back to Dysart at the Comm’s station to see that he had heard her order.

Commander T’Leia

“Hailing frequencies open,” the comms replied. “No response to the hails.”

However, Woods, monitoring for changes, noted a change. There were increases in power output from the station.

Comms then reported. “I have an incoming from Fleet, Science division, requesting an update. It’s a .. Scientist T’til.”

Melissa waited for a response if there was going to be one. She sent a message to the MACOs to stand ready for a boarding mission. She then continued looking for information on the ship and possibly the station that they were now facing.

MCO

Alison sighed, of course the Vulcans were curious now. Because things had gotten interesting. She wondered if T’til had actually read her, albeit brief, report on the situation so far.

Ltjg Barr - CSO

Ari had hoped the communication to the station would land them a ‘hail and farewell’ that all was well. No response made her sigh and lean back in her seat. “Really?” She murmured not realizing that T’Lea would probably hear, though not anyone else. “Do we have a registry for the station?” It didn’t seem right to just ‘leave’ but if it belonged to either race they had been encountering recently, she was ready to leave it and chalk it up to distance too great for telepathic communication. But if it belonged to Earth, or an ally.... Delta Quadrant constellations! Why couldn’t they have just gotten out of here? she thought to herself.

If it belonged to them or an ally, investigation into the silence was a must. “Get me a registration who it belongs to. We may need to check it out.” She shook her head and rose up to pace to the back of the room. Pouring herself some water from a pitcher in one of the small alcoves that held water and coffee for those on duty, she took a long draw and realized, sadly, that she hadn’t eaten much. Certainly not enough to go on for several more hours. She had barely picked at her food while hosting Bane. Next time, she mentally reminded herself, she would eat whether their guest did or not. Protocols be damned.

Comms turned to the Captain. “Ma’am? We have Fleet on the comms. A Scientist T’til. Shall I put her on?”

There was no registry of a station here. It had been only scanned by a probe in the past and that for stellar phenomena and nothing else. This was a new discovery.

Tactical and Science would watch the power slowly increasing at the station by virtue of some thermal readings and power radiation, though nothing else was moving in the area.

“Put it on.” T’Leia ordered as she turned toward the viewscreen to see the other Vulcan woman when she appeared.

Commander T’Leia

The screen blinked on. A thin, sharp faced, dark complexioned Vulcan woman with a streak of grey hair at each temple that was pulled back faced the screen. [o] Bonaventure, I am Scientist T’til, adjutant and advisor to Earth Science Divisions. We have been kept abreast of some of your logs. It has created a considerable .. flutter, amongst some. What we thought previously was an empty space does not appear to be so. Please, update us on your findings. [c]

Max spoke up “Sir I am detecting an increase in power output from the Station.”

Woods, Armory

“Send guards to all critical spaces. At least one of the races we are dealing with can move through space unhindered. Make sure we have personnel on alert, Mr. Woods.”

Air glanced at T’Leia, “See if you can find out what they want and what they know, please…” Moving over to Barr, Ari leaned on the console and spoke to her in a more hushed voice to allow T’Leia to speak unhindered.

“Aye, sir.” T’Leia said as she rose and stood with her hands behind her back, preparing to speak with the other Vulcan.

“Barr… need to you to find out if the place is powering up to turn the lights on, or powering up towards a cascade of some kind. I’m hesitant to send a ship there if they are setting a self destruct. I hate to say it, but I won’t risk those I am responsible for on the ‘off chance’ there may be folks over there.” She glanced back over her shoulder to T’Leia to see how it was going.

At the distance they were any explosion, if it was that, wouldn’t affect them at all. It wasn’t a consistent power up either, not like one might see in a system on overload, but stepped, as though first one thing was activating, then another, then another. Not that this couldn’t be some kind of alien overload style, but mechanically it was staggered.

“Captain,” Alison said dropping her voice to match Ari’s. “It looks like it is powering up. It isn’t a smooth increase in power, more indicative of an overload. It looks more like systems coming back online, one at a time.”

“Scientist T’til, I am Commander T’Leia. We have encountered two alien species in this region. We will send you a copy of our logs. ” Turning she nodded to Barr to indicate she wished the woman to send a copy of their logs. Turning back to T’til she said.”We are detecting your station powering up, Scientist T’til. May I ask why that is so?”

Commander T’Leia

OOC: Not her station .. this is an unknown station .. will adjust

T’til’s left brow rose at the mention of two alien species. “A station powering up from nothing? The reason amounts to a great number of even logical speculations. The most probable one is that the aforementioned aliens triggered something, or that your vessel was detected. The question remains is: why was it powered down? What does it mean that it now has power? Are you not planning on investigating in the search for new life and new civilizations?”

Ari nodded to Barr to follow the XO’s then listened intently as Right Hand inquired about the station. She whispered to Barr, “Tap it instructions to security and engineering to standby. We don’t know what’s going to happen and we’ll either need to get over there, or outta here, in a hurry is my guess.”

Alison nodded as she sent the files over to Command. As soon as that was done, she sent the instructions to engineering and security to stand by, to be prepare to get out of their fast.

A small smile tugged at Ari’s lips as she suddenly was grateful she was human and not one of the myriad of other races she was aware of. Her frustration would probably make a Klingon punch the console… It blue something up. An Orion would likely be trying to get over there and let off their pheromones to take control. And a Romulan would probably try and figure out how to take it over. At least, she knew those would probably be her reactions. Being human meant she’d likely hurt herself punching the console, end up a prisoner of she went to the alien ship uninvited, or lose her entire crew against the unknown if she suddenly attacked. Perhaps meditation lessons from T’Leia wouldn’t be a bad idea.

It didn’t occur to her that other races probably had equally ridiculous views of humans.

Baumann stood by, silently watching the exchange. While science and species relations were not part of his areas of expertise, he did know a bad tactical situation when he saw one. His jaw clenched again, but he held his tongue.

Baumann, AC

Baumann would note that the power levels on the station began to even out and stabilize - if indeed they were even previously unstable. The power output was considerable, though it was now level.

Max nodded “sending guards to the areas as ordered Sir. Shall I oversee the guard placement Sir?”

Woods, Armory

“Make your rounds now, Mr. Woods. Report back here when you are done. If the situation changes, I will let you know.”

Baumann, AC

Wookiee

T’Leia glanced at the Captain to see what her response would be to T’til’s question. “Our only concern, Scientist T’til, is that the aforementioned alien species appear to be very powerful and in a confrontation of some type. We felt it to be dangerous to be involved. I think we could investigate the station but if it is of this alien species it may not be prudent to become involved again.”

Commander T’Leia

“Captain, the power output has stabilized, it looks like the station has powered up. Though from these power readings, they have a considerable amount of power over there.”

Ltjg Barr - CSO

Baumann nodded in agreement. “They would have to, in order not to be drawn into any one of the stars surrounding it. I recommend that we proceed cautiously.”
