“If you see anything callout and I’ll take us over to investigate. If it’s
useful we can transport it into the back for storage.”

"We'll want to be thorough, because they've been known to rig escape pods
as bombs, so we probably don't want to open anything until we're closer to
the exeter just in case. We'll also need to handle most of this by a visual
search pattern, the sensor reflective hulls will make it nearly impossible
to penetrate the escape pod, so whatever might be inside, whether it be a
person, or precious cargo, will be hard to find. I recommend using search
Pattern, Riker Epsilon 3, gives us the most search radius in the shortest
amount of time. Otherwise we could be out here for hours. All of you should
have a visual representation of a Bajoran Interceptor's escape pod at your
consoles."

“Okay let’s go and see what we can find.”

After time went by Billy began updating the search pattern as they went and
kept track of where they had covered, breaking the area into a grid, and
marking places they had been with an x.

“Looks like we found something.” Ire exclaimed as he  He maneuvered the
Runabout towards the closest object.

“Can you tell what it is. Can we get a clearer resolution?”

"Based on the image i'm seeing it looks like three escape pods linked
together. Standard maneuver to gain more oxygen and link groups together."
Billy replied.

“Well that’s definitely not the genesis device. Can we see if there is any
one inside with tripping some kind of trap?”

"Unfortunately no, noth with the sensor reflective hull. We could do a
space walk and try and see if we can't remove enough of the hull plating to
see if we can't give ourselves a window to peak inside. But it's risky."

(reply Ire, Page, Brown)

"We should only open it if we're sure, but we could tow it back to the
Exeter and see if we have more luck with her systems, but at the same time,
there is a risk in tractoring it back as we don't know wjhat might happen
when we activate the tractor beam. Perhaps the spacewalk might be the safer
bet. Then we could scan better inside and beam out what the need to beam
out. But as long as the hull is reflecting our sensors, we wont know what's
in there to get a lock."

Billy paused, "What do the rest of you think?"
