The small ship seemed to come from nowhere. It seemed to just pop into existence some 20,000 kliks away heading roughly the same direction as the Athena and on a slow intercept course.

=^=Federation ship Athena. I am Khabal. I request berthing in your shuttle bay or attachment to a docking port to allow my powerplant to recharge and my stores resupplied if you are able.=^=

On visuals the ship looked like a narrow wedge and the only reason it showed up against the backdrop of space was that it was emitting light from the skin of the craft. The entire small ship seemed to glow a dim blue. It would take up considerable space in the bay if allowed to land but it would fit.
