Rick sat at one of the computer terminals, going over the diagnostic
data coming across the screen. He had wanted to perform a full
diagnostic of the outpost and shipyard, but had to settle for a more
passive scan since they wanted to have everything ready to tow
back to Unity in the next 24 hours or so.
Engineers from the Jameson were readying the facility for the trip.
Damaged sections that couldn't be repaired right away were being
properly prepared for the move.
"Rick, have a look at this," Jo Weathersby said from her console.
He walked over to where she was sitting and looked over her
shoulder.
"What I suppose to be seeing?" he asked.
"This is one of the last logs that was put into the system before the
shipyard was abandoned," she said. "It goes over the designs of a
ship that they are considering building."
"Looks like a Defiant-class ship," Rick muttered.
"Exactly," she smiled. "This might be one of the first designs ever
conceived of that class of ship. It's very experimental."
"Perhaps it is," Rick said, typing in a few commands, bring up the
design specs. "Interesting. Seems as if this ship was being fitted
with extra sensors and commun ... commun ... communications
equipment. There also less firepower."
"And look, they actually gave it a name," Jo said. "The Detector."
"These sensors pretty advanced. More advanced than anything
we have. And look ..." Rick pointed at the screen. "... it had cloak
... cloaking device."
He pointed as another part of the screen, "And see this, this was
years before Defiant was even built. Incredible."
She chuckled, "Imagine, it could have been called the
Detector-class instead of the Defiant-class. How uncool would that
have been? Thankfully they didn't start building it."
Rick was now working on a console next to Jo's. His eyes widened.
"I not be too sure," Rick said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Says here, Detector was 75 percent complete."
