Take us to the N'tara 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.



I am having trouble distiguishing any one signal, but there is quite a lot of subspace traffic in this area of space.

I'm picking up several power sources inside the sector. I'm having trouble locating them, though.

I'm recalibrating the short range sensor array to compensate for the plasma field disruptions.

There. I'm definitely reading one power source too large to be a starship. Bearing 005 mark 368. There are several other smaller power sources in the surrounding area.

Undoubtably Jem'Hadar or Cardassian warships.

Captain, we're entering the Badlands.

There is a slight shake as the ship enters the twirling plasma field.

Captain, I've got a definite sensor lock now.

The base appears to be a small ship dock and communications array. There is one Galor-Class warship and one Hideki-Class fighter in orbit of the station and one Jem'Hadar warship inside of its bay.

We will be within weapons range in two minutes, Commander.

Hennessey:
Remain cloaked and ready weapons...
Ready weapons and prepare to decloak...
