Take us to the Orkirin sector...
Aye aye, Commander. Altering current course to match.
After a time at warp, while cloaked, the Defiant nears the edge of the Badlands....
Commander, we are approaching the Badlands.
Hennessey: Drop us out of warp, Ensign. Red Alert.
The Red alert klaxons begin to sound as the lights dim. On the main viewer you can see the mass of space that lies ahead is filled with violent plasma storms.
Hennessey: Take us in at full impulse.
Sensors are having trouble picking anything up, Commander.
I'm trying to compensate, Commander, but the plasma storms in this sector are fairly strong. I've got a few scattered subspace signals, but nothing too strong.
Hennessey: Take us in, Ensign.
We are entering the badlands.
The ship shakes slightly as you enter the turbulant storms, but the ride smooths as you continue. All around the ship are funnels of plasma and flashing reactions.
Commander, I'm not showing anything in this sector that would suggest a base. I have one random power signature, but it is not large enough to be more than one small ship.
A Jem'Hadar fighter...
That's what it looks like. It is moving towards our position, but it does not look like it has detected us.
We'll be within weapons range in one minute. Their shields and weapons are energized.
Hennessey:
Arm weapons and prepare to drop cloak...
We'll wait to see if they detect us, but ready weapons...
