Kovan, who had been abnormally quiet throughout this whole process spoke up from his station, “Just knock off some of the rocks clinging to it. We don’t need the whole thing, just the prize in the middle of all that rock. A couple blasts from phasers on low-energy or a modified tractor beam will break it down to a more manageable size.” His voice was steady and calm, but held a flat quality to it. His gaze never strayed from the view screen. The initial excitement of their accidental find shifting into something more akin to dread as they came closer to their target.

“Tractor beam engaged, sir.” Jorik said, quickly activating the beam and slowly dragging the ship closer to the shuttlebay.

Jorik turned around in his seat to look at Roman. “If we want this thing in the shuttlebay as-is, I need to go down there to maneuver it in, I don’t have the right angles here.”

Jorik Thoran, Pilot/Nav

Roman nodded to ensign Thoran. “Go and maneuver it in. I don’t want to blow the whole thing up trying to knock a bit off.” He looked at Kovan, “All we need is the middle, but we aren’t sure how strong it is. A low energy shot could still damage it more than we want.”

“Aye sir!” Jorik said, pressing the button to call in another navigator as he exited the bridge to head down to the shuttlebay.

Jorik’s voice came over the comms [o]Jorik to Bridge. We have it.[o]

Rende pushed the comm button for the shuttlebay on the control peel of the center chair =O=Excellent Ensign. Once engineering has gotten in and security cleared it, I want the ship’s navigation log. I want to know where it was and where it was going. Asam Out.=C= She pressed the button to close the comm and stared out the screen. Suddenly she turned the chair to face the back of the bridge. “En. ch’Sirhc. The Colonial communications have failed to follow protocol several times, correct? And they got nosey about our probes?”

“I understand you are quite skilled. Keep an eye on who they are talking to. Monitor for unofficial signals from both the main city and other locals.”

Asam, CO

Monitor for secret communications between the colonies both governmental and local? Today was a great day to be on the bridge. “Aye, sir,” Kovan said and got to work. These colonists so far haven’t really done much to impress. Kovan threw them a loop and lead them round and round in merry chases before they even arrived in the system. This should be fun. The communications en got to work.

Signals in space were were shouts in a dark cave. Traveling on and out until something “heard” the signal and either pushed the signal on or captured hold of it. Kovan needed to expand the Sentinel’s “ears” so to speak. The probes? “Hey, whoever is on science,” he called over his shoulder without looking away from his station, “Overclock the probes processors by 20% and tell it to direct that extra energy to sensor dish then turn up the tolerance levels to maximum.” This should, turn the probes into extra “ears” for the Sentinel. The hardware should be able to handle the extra 20% for a couple hours though it would also burn out the probe. Eh, a sacrifice to be made.

After that it was a matter of listening and testing different bands of frequencies until something came up.
