It was two weeks later and the Chernov was on a regular routine patrol near a recently surveyed system. The culture there was pre-warp in the medieval state of development. They were passing by the system at warp a day away by warp 3 when the science station beeped an alert!

Checking the sensors they picked up surprisingly the indications of a low level warp reaction from within the system! The burst was barely warp 1 in strength and lasted only 5 seconds but it was recorded, though no sign of any starship was present.
