Mission: The Game is Afoot
Location: U.S.S. Sutherland
Timeline: 1 Hour before "Research"

OFF: Maybe we should add a little fun and context?

ON: (U.S.S. Sutherland, Bridge)

Captain Christopher Hobson sat patiently in the Command chair on the bridge. A hot coffee beside him to one side, several PADD's on his other. He made himself comfortable with his legs crossed as he drank, looking back and forth between the viewscreen and his other work. Displayed was sensor data about the current sector they were in. They were a few light years away from the Thunderchild, but we able to cover more ground quickly thanks to their enhanced sensors.

"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." The tactical officer piped up. It had been almost an hour since anyone had spoken on the bridge. Everyone was so en engrossed with their work the only sounds that were heard were that of the hum of the engines and computers.

"It's a little more than that. At least you can see a needle when you find it. We are looking for needle that can't be seen." The Ops officer chimed back.

Hobson spun around in his chair, "We have our orders, and even though they are difficult, we will complete them to the best of our ability."

"Yes sir, but you can understand the frustration."

"I am aware, this is not my first time looking for a cloaked ship. We found them before, and I am sure we will find them again."

The Ops officer spoke up again, "Sir, I think I may have something."

"What is it?" Hobson asked walking over to the station.

"There is a nebula, 1 light year from here, it seems to have some amount of it... leaking from the Nebula."

"Could it be a natural phenomenon? "

"It has the trail, of what the computer would suggest is a ship, leaving the Nebula at warp speed. We should be able to track the trajectory."

"Excellent" Hobson sat back down, "The Sutherland is very good at finding cloaked ships. Helm, plot an intercept course. Ops, notify the Thunderchild and focus all sensors on the possible location of the ship."
