An ensign manning the tactical station perked up and announced to whoever was in command of the current watch, “Incoming transmission.”

It was Avik’s shift on the bridge. For the most part, it had been relatively uneventful and calm. Something the XO appreciated from the crazier events that she had been a part of. At times, she wondered if the Europa had become a magnet for the bizarre and strange. It certainly seemed like it.

The ensign’s words interrupted her thoughts causing Avik to turn her head. She then addressed the young officer.

“Bring them up on the screen.” A simple answer as she waited to see the owner.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

An older but still spry looking man was displayed on the screen. He had a little gray around the edges of his hair but the rest was still predominantly blond. His piercing green eyes seemed to nail down everyone within sight.

“Europa this is Commodore Mccallum from Starbase 83. I’m calling because I need you to redirect immediately towards the coordinates that have been provided. Subspace scanners have detected warp signatures near a recently discovered pre-warp society. Starfleet wants you to investigate and see if anyone has breached the Prime Directive or if they have developed warp tech on their own. In the case of the latter you are directed to initiate First Contact protocols and see if you can gently ease them into the into the universe. This should be straight forward. Contact me when you discover what case this ends up being. McCallum out.”

When Commodore Mccallum blinked off-screen, Avik turned to the crew. She inhaled then gave her orders.

“Set a course for the coordinates sent and at a warp five.” As the officers snapped to their orders, she turned to her chair.

When she sat down, she typed out and sent a message to the CO. Ensuring he wouldn’t be ignorant of the situation when he took over for her.

XO to CO:
Orders from- Commodore Mccallum from Starbase 83.
Request- Investigate cause of warp signatures over pre-warp society. Report back on the cause and follow the appropriate protocol.

When she finished up, the XO sent the message to the CO and continued to remain on the bridge. If he arrived for more details, she would give them to him.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

The ship proceeded at warp 5 for some time without incident. It was going to be several days until they reached their destination but thus far everything was going smoothly. Was this likely to continue? Who really knows.

It was into the third day that an ensign at the science station looked quizzically at it. They weren’t sure what they were seeing but the sensors were picking some kind of scattered background noise, but the computer was picking up on a pattern. It wasn’t naturally occurring, though what the signal was or where it was coming from was yet unknown.

“Sir, I’m picking up some sort of signal but having a hard time figuring out from what.” They reported to the command officer.
