Zane stood. "Can you localize the emissions, lieutenant?"
"I'm trying sir but they are very weak. I'm realigning the
DEPLHI pattern to enhance the signal."
"Were the energy readings there when we arrived or have they
activated since?" Zane asked as he walked to stand between the helm and
OPS stations.
"It appears they activated once we approached sir."
"Helm, gives us a quick loop of that ship at 3000 metres so we
can get a good look at it from all angles and then park us 1000m astern and
below."
"Aye sir." The FCO replied.
"Mr. Charles can you project a course as to where this ship is
going and where it has been." Onta asked as he looked down at his
armrest console.
Zane turned to sit and noticed Lieutenant Koreth at the
engineering station examining the incoming sensor reports of the derelict
ship. He seemed a little out of place on the bridge, still decked out in
his 'invisibility' equipment. It had been quite a demonstration.
"Tactical." Zane ordered. The viewscreen imediately 'split' in
half giving a forward view as well as providing a graphical display of
the ship along with the current information from the sensors. Zane
scanned the list. The ship was about half the size of the FEYNMAN and
was composed of many of the same materials. It was not listing in any
way. It was definitly heading somewhere but at this speed it would be a
long trip. It appeared to have no discernable armaments.
"Captain, I've localized the energy emissions. They are coming
from what appears to be the engineering deck and are getting
progressively stronger. My guess is the ship has passive sensors that
detected our approach and is now 'waking' the ship up."
"I see. Makes sense. Any progress on course projections Mr. Charles."
"Yes sir. If the vessel has maintained course and speed it
orginated in roughly the center of our patrol area. Its destination is
the Kzin homeworld....."
Zane raised an eyebrow. This was getting interesting. "Mr.
Koreth, opinion."
"Based on the information of the sensors, I'd say this ship is
some sort of cargo carrier or transport. There are several well defined
centers of operation but the bulk of the ship appears to be made up of
large compartments which are sensors are unable to properly scan."
"Mr. Maril?" Zane looked to his first officer.
"I recommend we visit this craft and see what its hiding."
Zane sat back in his chair. A few short weeks ago when he was FO
he would have been chomping at the bit to get over there and take a
look. Now though he had a different perspective. He was ultimately
responsible. Any mishaps and accidents would be his responsibility. He
found that thought a bit overwhelming. Still, they weren't going to get
things done by sitting around. "Try not to get into too much trouble,
commander."
Onta returned the smile. "I'll try, sir."

Just a short one to keep things moving.
Max: Form your team and have fun!
For those of you who remain aboard, priorities are finding out more info
about this space as well as where the ship came from.
Jason: Loved the trial run.
