Lydia choked back a giggle. "Warp two point five sounds just fine." She stated in Lt. Ackrons direction as she pushed her self up some in her chair to become a bit more comfortable. She looked at Commander McNight and smiled. "At least it was just an order, my first time as an ensign I accidentally knocked out all power and I mean all; lights, gravity...to five decks at the same time. The captain was not too pleased, neither was anyone else for that matter. Got sour looks for quite sometime."
She looked up and back to Commander Hughes. "Let us know when we come within communication range of the Yoto and the Veer."
Now turning Captain Prince directed her attention to Lt. Mishtak. "Scan for other ships in the area when we arrive. I don't want any sudden surprises." Lydia was taking Admiral Lyre's words to heart. The woman was known to be a straight shooter, and always very blunt. It would have been silly not to take any precaution at all.

Hearing the captains story sent a chill down Mishtak's spine, he was not accustomed to commanding officers admitting to mistakes and such... he had been calibrating the sensors to scan for shipa when they arrive before the captain even ordered it, after all it was his job to anticipate the captains orders in these regards, he was even working on a way to detect cloaked ships as well, just to be on the safe side...
"Aye Captain."
was all he needed to say... he had read the transcript of the Admiral's orders and he understood that there could be complications during this mission, he was going to ensure those complications would be minimal at best...

Christian just nodded, said "As you wish, ma'am," and focused his eyes on the display in front of him, his glasses on the tip of his nose as he peered down. After a few minutes watching intently, not distracted by anything happening on the Bridge, he noticed the ships.
"Veer and Yoto vessels now in communication range, Captain," he said, looking up, taking a moment to put his glasses right again. "Shall we hail them?"

James looked at the captain and answered "I guess it's not as bad as the time I accidentally separated the saucer section when I was a lieutenant on-board a Galaxy Class Starship." He then heard the other two officers speak up.

as the ships came into view on his sensors he noted there were no other vessels on his scopes, though he was certain there had been 'something' there a moment ago... he was unsure how to relay this to the captain properly but he had doubts as to the ease of this mission...
"no signs of trouble captain, however there was an unknown variable moments before the ships came in range, I am attempting to verify now..."
his fingers flew across his console with practiced ease, but he was not at ease, his gut told him something was wrong, and his time in the service of the Empire as well as his father's teachings had taught him to never ignore those gut instincts
"...recommend Yellow alert until verification can be established, to err on the side of caution I believe is your Earth term."
he was hazy on his Earth slang but truly wanted the captain to take this anomaly serious, at least until he could determine it's origin... he had a vague impression of some sort of cloaking device, but he was not picking up any plasma exhaust or energy signatures that accompany Klingon and early Romulan cloaking devices, could be either or even something else and he hated jumping to conclusions...

Lydia lightly chuckled at Commander McNights' statement. At a later date it might be a good idea to swap stories with the senior officers about posts before they were senior officers, and maybe even academy days. Could be a fun way to get to know the crew better, and depending, could put a few at ease. Naturally only the senior staff could be part of the story telling as not to make the junior officers nervous.
"Veer and Yoto vessels now in communication range, Captain," "Shall we hail them?"
"no signs of trouble captain, however there was an unknown variable moments before the ships came in range, I am attempting to verify now..." "...recommend Yellow alert until verification can be established, to err on the side of caution I believe is your Earth term."
Captain Prince stood from her seat. Lydia turned to look at Lt. Mishtak. "Maybe the Yoto and the Veer can assist in making that unknown variable known. As for yellow alert, I don't exactly deem it that necessary, unless you can verify some kind of cloaking technology. None the less we will stay on our toes."
Lydia hadn't taken what Mishtak said lightly, after all they were warned by Admiral Lyre, but if they did having cloaking technology surely she would have mentioned. Right now though even if a ship or ships were out there waiting to attack, well currently there were two Federation ships, the Orion, and the Yoto, which is a Galaxy class.
"If you'd like you may use Ensign Harper to assist in making the unknown, known."
Lydia then looked to Christian. "Open a channel to the Captain Quint on the Yoto."
Captain Prince faced the view screen ready to speak and receive more information from Captain Quint.

"Aye Captain."
Mishtak tapped his comm badge
"Ensign Harper, I require your assistance."
he was still unsure as to what it was that his sensors had picked up and hoped the young engineer would be able to help, he forwarded his sensor scans to main engineering but he thought it might be better if she came to the bridge and used the engineering station there to assist him, he would leave that up to her...

Christian tapped a few buttons, opening a channel to the Yoto. "Ma'am," he announced. "The USS Yoto is answering our hail. I have taken the liberty to put it on screen," he added, though that was obviously what the Captain wanted: after all, she was in front of the viewscreen.

I thought I said I preferred captain...oh, we'll get into that later... "Thank you." Captain Prince replied, acknowledging the fact she had heard Commander Hughes. On the screen was the commanding officer of the Yoto, Captain Quint. He had tanned skin, brown eyes, dark brown hair, and looked at least in his forties.
"Captain Lydia Prince I presume?"
Lydia smiled. "You presume correctly Captain. Nice to meet you. I take it since you know my name you've also been briefed why the Orion is here."
"Yes, you've come to relieve us of this glorious escort job." Captain Quint replied cheerily with a small chuckle. "I take it you've been given a run down of this mission?"
"A very brief run down Captain, but I was hoping I could get a few more specifics from you. My chief tactical officer detected something briefly, we are unsure what. Could you tell us more about what exactly is going on between the-"
"Neighbors? Certainly. According to what we know the two species once coexisted on the same planet, and after a dispute they parted ways. Little attacks have been happening recently though. They've pegged the attacks on jealously, and we've really no reason to doubt them, as they are just a tad more advanced than their neighbors. We've tried to get more history from them however, they seem rather cautious about sharing."
Captain Quint paused just a moment. "About what you detected in space I doubt it's a vessel as neither of them have cloaking technology, but I'd still keep alert. I'm sending you all the data we have on them, and what we have collected about this region of space. I wish I could be of more help than that."
"No worries captain. You have been of some assistance, thank you."
Captain Quint gave a nod. "Well then, good luck Captain Prince. Quint out."
And just like that the screen went blank. "Run through the information that was sent from the Yoto, also have it sent to my ready room. I think we all should study up. Also, keep trying to find out what it was you detected lieutenant. I don't want any sudden surprises."
After taking a quick deep breath Lydia took a step down and placed a hand on the rail down in front on the command center. "Please hail the Veer."

She had engaged and followed orders, and as suspected it hadn't been long before they got to their destination. Faith listened to all that was said on the bridge before, during, and after arrival. The stories told had been somewhat humorous. Though the whole unknown thing had Faith a tad uneasy. She decided to keep her abilities at high alert, just in case.
I guess it was a bit helpful, but... Something was not sitting particularly right with her about what Captain Quint reported, despite how attractive he had seemed. Faith definitely thought a read up sounded good.

"Aye, Captain," said Christian to the Captain's request. He no longer thought he required leave from the Captain to open a channel as soon as they answered the hail and let her speak to them. "They are responding," he said, putting it on screen.

James listened as the two captain's spoke to one another. Once they were finished, James couldn't stop feeling uneasy as though there had been something left out, maybe even something very important.
James then thought to himself maybe the veer may have the answers to his query. He waited for the veer to respond and for the captain to answer before he would say anything.
Sitting back in his chair he awaited the moment to speak.

'hmm, Dark Matter' Sharpay had said, his engineering skills were lacking in the area of knowing what exactly that meant... opening his comm to Shar again he said
"I'm sorry Ensign, but I do not fully understand the significance of dark matter, please explain."
he needed clarification before he could bring it to the captain's attention...

//"Well, dark matter forms the basis of several types of spacial anomalies. It's undetectable using conventional sensors," "Bet you're glad about the improvements I made to the sensors, anyway, they can consist of energy beings, we can detect dark matter easier using metreon particles. Lights it up like a firefly." "If it's an asteroid however, we won't be lighting anything up. A dark matter asteroid emits electromagnetic radiation. That's what we'd scan for to find out if it was simply a hunk of rock."//
