Welcome to Gaia! ::

LOCATION:
The Nebula is located approximately in Sector T-20.

DESCRIPTION:
Composed of hydrogen, ammonia, helium, argon, and traces of carbon, the nebula is backed full of various gasses. Electromagnetic storms make sensors pick up faulty images, hence the name "Phantom Nebula." However, a simple sensor adjustment can assist in cutting through the interference.

CLIMATE:
The nebula is an extreme of both hot and cold. Some areas are only several dozen degrees above absolute zero, while others rocket into the thousands of degrees near dense pockets of gas Starfleet believes to be forming proto-stars.

PEOPLE:
None, nebula is uninhabited.

RESOURCES:
None

ANY OTHER ASTRONOMICAL DATA ABOUT THE SYSTEM:
Scanning equipment will not work well when you first enter the nebula (3 posts.) However, after the initial problems, the sensors will be able to compensate for the interference and operate normally.

After a few days, scans were coming in, but not at full strength as estimated. However, they could filter out false images now. Upon scanning the limited area they could, they found nothing. David anxiously ordered the crew to move to another location to scan there. If they had to, they would scan this place inch by inch.

The scanner showed nothing but static, and several false signatures caused by the nebula. But, suddenly, something irregular to the flow showed up.
Captain, Look!
Huh? What... You found it?
I...I think so... but there's too much distortion around to get an accurate position.
So they are out here....
Alright filter the scans some more. Once you've a good Idea of it's location, contact me immediately.
Yes sir.
David headed to a room lower down on the ship. It had a large window intended for viewing the space outside. Normally the room was dark and empty looking to compliment the space out there, but it was glowing a yellowish orange hue, reflecting the nebula's light. The room was essentially empty, and only had a single chair that David brought from his room.
Upon entering the room, David stared into the bright nebula, and walked closer to the window. Walking slowly towards it, thoughts racing through his mind, he grabbed the back of the chair and leaned towards the window. This is where David liked to think, as it was quiet, and no one seemed to know about it other than himself and Johnny. The reason it was built this way was because this was similar to the one on the Enterprise-A, based on a layout he'd seen at the academy.
While staring out, David looked to see if he could see the ship out there.... Obviously there was no success, so he stared for no reason.
Quite a view huh?
Hm?.... Yeah...
David didn't see him enter, and still wasn't completely aware he was there.
Right well, the scanners are almost complete, we have an Idea of the direction it's in, but not the exact location.
Huh......... well...... Let's move that way... a bit.
Yes sir.
Johnny walked away, punching commands into a PADD at incredibly high speeds.

((Srry, read the OOC post I made))
After what seemed like forever, the sensors were finally recalibrated, and were working normally. The science officer on duty alerted the captain, and David rushed to the bridge. Upon entry he found his chair, and began dishing out orders.
Alright, is it the forester?
Dunno sir... But it's definately real.
Alright set a course, let's see what we find.
Yes sir.
We're also getting a garbled message... sounds like a distress call.
....Really?.... Can we answer back?
It's worth a shot.
Alright, let's try it.
Unidentified vessel, this is Thompson, captain of the USS Wolf of the United Federation of Planets. Respond please.

......ETA?
Thirty seconds sir.
Alright, go to yellow alert, seems like the Forrester is in trouble.
Sheilds were raised, and crews alerted, the yellow light glowed throughout the bridge and many lower decks. Engineering crews were scattering about the engine room, and other officers to their various stations. After a moment, the Wolf arrived within a few hundred kilometers of the distress calls origin.

Huh?!.... What the!?
.....Scan it!....
Already am.... It appears to be syphoning energy from the forrester.
......Any survivors aboard?
Unknown sir..
David turned to tom, and spoke in an absurdly organised tone, considering the circumstances.
Well if there are, have them transported to here immediately. Keep them quarentined temporarily too, just in case the creature released something dangerous into the vessel...
Got it!
Tom ran to the main transporter room, to oversee the transporting.
..Do you think the creature may be intelligent?...
Not enough data to make a decent assesment sir...
Hmm..... Can we get it off without harming it?
A tractor perhaps, but odds are it'd take the vessel with it.
David let out a low groan.
Well, if it comes toward us, use a tractor beam, and reverse it to repel the creature... I'm going to the main transporter room as well... Send a security and medical team down too, just in case.
Aye captain.

Walking down the halls, David met up with the medical team halfway there. They were joined a few seconds thereafter, by the security team.
Bridge to Thompson.
David taped his badge and replied while still moving.
Go ahead.
We've established contact with the forrester, the crew are ready for transport to cargo bay one.
Acknowledged, any change in the creatures behavior?
None sir.
Alright, keep an eye on it, thompson out.

Finally they arrived at the cargo bay, and they went in just as the forrester's crew began materializing.
Looks like you guys have had an interesting time.... you alright?
