Rick followed Captain Richards out onto the bridge. Richards went
straight to his chair. As he sat, he looked at the viewscreen. There
was a small, black dot among the many colors of the nebula off to
the upper right on the screen. Rick moved closer to the screen to
get a better look.
"Sir, the Qashqai had moved into a defensive position off to our
starboard side," someone said.
"Very well. Magnify," Richards ordered.
The dot got larger, as the outline of a ship of some sorts. Rick could
barely make it out.
"Increase magnification," Richards said, leaning forward.
Rick took a couple more steps toward the viewscreen.
"I can't tell what it is," Rick said.
"Helmsman, slowly move us toward that object. Thrusters only,"
Richards said.
"Aye, sir," came the reply from the helm as the Jameson began
to move forward and the image grew larger.
After a few seconds, Richards stood, "Helm, come to a stop."
The Jameson ceased its forward progress.
Richards looked at the image, which was a lot clearer. He smiled
as he made out the word Detector.
"Mr. Rodgers, it would seem that we have found your ship," the
captain proclaimed.
"It would seem so, sir," Rick also smiled. "We should prepare away
team. See what kind of condition she in."
"Agreed," Richards said. "Unfortunately, most of my people are
are back on the shipyard preparing it to be towed. I can probably
spare just a couple of people. I will also have the Qashqai prepare
a security detail. We have no idea what's over there. It could
be a Rommie trap."
"Yes, sir," Rick said.
