Transcript

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Come on! Ah, you see, sir? There it is, right there.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Yes, Lieutenant, I see it.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: What do you see?

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: There are holes in the data I confiscated from the Lexington. We've got no Confed transmission data for a specific 18-hour period. Before and after that time period, Confed undertook operations which seem to relate to the chemist and the lab we confiscated. But, without that comm data, we can't make a firm connection. We're missing carrier group trackings, fleet movements, assignment logs...

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: More pieces to the puzzle.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Oh, I've got it! There's a Confed comm station right here in Orestes, orbiting the system's outermost planet.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Oh sure, most of Confed's comm traffic must relay through there.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Helm, set nav coordinates for Orestes IX.

HELMSPERSON: Aye, aye, sir.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: We're going on a scavenger hunt.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes, sir!
