Ensign nelson sat at his post at the deep space observation base, it was a do nothing post, a post you get when you have pissed someone off, he still couldn't figure out who he had pissed off. He was on the 4th hour of his shift at watch when he got the proximity alarm, something was slowing from hyper light speed and approaching the station.
He triggered the alarm, watching the monitors as the object slowed, he got a warning as the object had just scanned the station, he looked back as his C.O. Walked into the room in his pjs.
"Nelson this better not be another sensor ghost!" he growled as he approached the console.
"No sir, something just scanned us." He said pointing at the console.
The C.O. Looked at the screen, and pointed.
"its broadcasting information" The C.O. Said.
Nelson quickly pulled up the transmission.
"The Dauntless? I have never heard of her?" Nelson said looking at his C.O.
"I haven't either, pull up the ship registry" The C.O. Said
