Intercept distress bouy...



After a few hours of warp, the Defiant nears the cooridinates.

Commander, we are nearing the message bouy.

Hennessey: Bridge to infimary, prepare for possibly casualties.

Doctor Bashir here. I'm standing by.

Hennessey: Scan the area.

The bouy is the only object in the sector, Commander.

I'm not even showing any debris in the area.

Hennessey: Drop us out of warp. Chief, begin a sensor sweep.

I can't get a clear sensor scan of that bouy, sir. We'll have to disengage the cloak before I can give you any more information.

You hear the bridge door slide open and turn just in time to see doctor Julian Bashir enter the bridge.



Nothing yet, Doctor.

Commander, long range sensors are picking up residual polaron bursts about 2 lightyears from this position.

That could be a sign of the battle site.

Hennessey:
Plot a course for those polaron readings and engage.
Drop cloak and tractor the message bouy.
