(USS Illuminar - Deck 1 - Bridge - CO- Captain Sekal - 1000)

The Captain was seated in the command chair oblivious in a way to the
excitement that was permeating the bridge. He could not overlook the low
buzz of whispered conversation and heightened monitoring of data streams
and viewscreens that was occurring as they neared the system. The main
sequence star was growing perceptibly on the main screen from a tiny point
of light when Tempest Grey Wolf's voice broke the tension. "Approaching the
Sigma Draconis system sir."

"Decrease speed to warp three Lieutenant and plot a course for the sixth
planet. Decelerate to warp one once we have penetrated the system."

"Aye sir, slowing to warp three."

The volume of the engines began decreasing rapidly as he turned to the
science station. "Mr. Winters what do we know of Sigma Draconis VI?"

Sky began bringing up the data while mentally kicking himself for not
having a presentation already ready. "Diameter 13,143 kilometers, earth
normal gravity, oxygen/nitrogen at 19/78% so roughly Vulcan level
atmosphere. An ice world however with both water ice and CO² ice. Mean
surface temperature -10c at the equator to -40c at the poles. Elliptical
orbit and now at perihelion. No recorded signs of civilization but as it is
in the same system as the ancestors of the inhabitants of planet four was
almost surely visited by them and the atmosphere indicates it was once
habitable. Without that atmosphere the planet would be another Mars."

Sekal turned back to the screen as he considered. "Scan for any activity in
the system including energy readings and keep me updated."

He turned his head to the left. "Tactical verify readiness of weapons and
shields."

(Reply: Tactical)

"Operations have the reconfiguration of the navigational deflector and
reploarization of the hull standing by and monitor all bandwidths for any
communication signals within the system."

(Reply: Ops)

He brought up the pop-up viewscreen then hit the shipwide comm. "We are
entering the Sigma Draconis system, all departments at readiness. Security
stand by for orders once we reach planet six."

(Reply: All)
