Stardate:60917.3
We were tracking more instances of tetryonic filaments connected to an EM radiation burst when our long-range sensors picked up fluctuating energy readings from deep within the Shackleton Expanse. We can't tell what the readings are coming from, but they are consistent with a vessel in distress. All attempts at communication have gone unanswered. There may be some people out there who need our help. We arrive within the hour. This is why we're out here.
The distress signal leads to a surprising find. On answering the distress call the crew finds themselves in orbit of a gas giant, but with no ships to be seen. On scanners are life signs that are familiar in more ways than one. Still, the distress is real, and aid is required But, this aid will not go unnoticed or unopposed. Scientific curiosity may have to take a back seat to self defense, but this powerful foe is perhaps not as monolithic as they once seemed. Can the crew stay safe and learn more about a rising threat in the Shackleton Expanse? Find out next time, on Star Trek Endurance, The Needs of the Few, only on the Top Hats Off channel.
