About 24 hours after the Waterloo departed and the Dresden continued on their normal course, comms received a distress signal. The source of the signal was 30 minutes away on maximum warp. The Dresden was the nearest ship to the source. From their present location, the long range sensors were not able to ascertain what was happening at that location due to the interference of an electromagnetic storm forming nearby the Dresden. Although the storm was not obstructing their passage, it did cause inaccurate sensor information. However, the distress signal was on subspace and it was a very clearly authentic.
