Ari stepped closer to the view screen. “What’s that?” She pointed to the flickering light. =^=Shuttle, hold for a moment.=^= She then turned to her CSO. “Barr, can we put one of those probes inside ahead of the shuttle, I want to be sure it doesn’t snap shut once something passes inside.”

She frowned at the light flickering on the far side from where the shuttle was. “Barr, will you see if there is a pattern or anything to that new light?” Part of her was excited. Maybe it was a message. Unfortunately, the other half of her brain was seeing a trap along every line.

“Already ahead of you Captain,” Alison said as she adjusted the probes course again to direct it into the sphere.

As she waited for the probe to head for the sphere Alison looked at the light. “I’m not seeing a pattern Captain. I can try putting it through some extra decryption programs, but the computer is not finding any pattern yet.”

Ari began pacing. “Try older codes, all known species.” She was trying to figure it out as the small probe moved towards the opening to make sure they weren’t walking into a proverbial ‘venus fly trap’.

Alison nodded. “I’ll see what I can do Captain.”

While she kept recording the light flashes, to see if they could get any more data, she started putting through some of the more obscure decryption programs.
