OOC: It has been more than two weeks … so I am going to give the prelude to the next sim. Please continue to have fun at the after mission party. I will go full steam when the CO gives the okay. :)

IC: The ship was crusing in uncharted space collecting data as it moved. It was travelling at warp 4 and going through a huge amount of empty space.

The NE at helm was alert but bored. As far as the long range sensors could go, they were reading just empty space with mainly space dust and small rock particles that were deflected by the deflector shield.

Then the NE at science gave a small exclamation, “Hey! I am reading a possible nebula up ahead. We won’t reach it in 24 hours at our current speed but we might be able to see a star in the midst of getting formed!”

“Should we alert the Captain?” asked the NE at tactical.

“I don’t know if he would be pleased for us to disturb him when the party is going on. Let us confirm this before reporting. After all, we have at least 24 hours before we reach it, right? Let’s get more data before we report it in,” replied the duty officer on the bridge.
