Once someone would decide to block the signal things got a bit interesting within the next five minutes. The signal that was causing interference to the alien signal was quickly canceled out. The heavy interference they had previously soon cleared up alot more, it was still there but no where near as bad.

Resolution soon cleared up and they now could see something they could not before on bio-signs. Several clusters of the hunter gathering native humanoids they had seen before underground were picked up in such places along the northern and central plains underground. Anywhere from 40,000 some thousand or more give or take at least. The other thing they picked up that the alien signal was still overlaid against was the dilthium deposits while truly basic in quality but acceptable enough for basic trade and refining should Starfleet begin mining. The signal still lacked a direct source but was defiantly deep underground not far from where they found the native camp beyond their subsurface scan range.

“Uh, all right.” Naomi’s eyes watched her superior walk from the labs. The junior science offer’s form leaned back and waited until she couldn’t hear the footsteps. She sighed then returned to her work. She hated the silence so she flipped on some background music. Inserting the ear piece into her left ear, her head bobbed to the sound as she scanned over the data.

Her eyes widened and heart dropped into her stomach. She blinked before her hand clicked off her music. Immediately she brought up the comms to the bridge.

=/= Science to bridge we have something odd going on. Commander Grace, do you remember the alien signal we found? The one being controlled by an Earth cargo comm signal? =/=

Naomi took a deeper breath before continuing.

=/= After we mostly blocked it, we located the main habitats of the natives. They are in the northern and central areas of the main continent. There are also signs of someone mining the dilthium deposits near where we found that small camp of natives. =/=

=^= Good work Lieutenant. See what else you can find now that you’ve found a way through the jammers. =^=

“Kay.” Naomi stated, a little confused. She had already given the woman everything she knew right now.

Without any details, the science officer had to guess. Naomi had a deep, dark suspicion over what was going on. If her gut was right, she was about to mess up someone’s day if she could. She began a deeper dive into the scans, data, and signal. With some luck, she hoped be able to reproduce it and possibly mess up operations. There also the chance something might catch her attention and she shift gears. One never knew where the data would lead.

OOC: sorry i dont really got too much else for you atm…i’ll fudge some stuff though…

Looking at the evidence so far they had gotten and the scans brought down by an NE from the bridge. It might seem to those present that the three cargo ships were definitely using this planet as some sort of unregistered hang out point. Which itself was not illegal really, but the fact the Earth signal they had cleaned up was used to control and block scans from the alien signal to mask the native life signs, and technology planetside and that they had picked up native humanoid life signs it seems on the first cargo ship’s cargo hold masked somewhat by nearby barrels of waste. Might imply the three ships were running a slaving ring using the natives as labor or something for themselves or unknown parties in trade.

OOC: Pretty sure this is no longer required, but bumping it anyways in case.
