Captain Oddas has Kendrick work with R'Kala, and sends Deveaux, Sera, and Aratta to the shuttlebay, and science labs to prepare to receive the artifact as safely as possible. And as she asks the rest of the bridge crew how the link up of information is coming along, on the screen shows an oncoming vessel. An older Groumal class freighter. Low-range phasers with a range of less than 400,000km, and signs of life aboard it through a whole lot of sensor interference. | Captain Oddas has Kendrick work with R'Kala, and sends Deveaux, Sera, and Aratta to the shuttlebay, and science labs to prepare to receive the artifact as safely as possible.

Followed swiftly by a proximity alarm from the tactical station, the freighter moving right toward a collision with them. | ||
The ship goes to red alert, and they prepare a tractor beam to stop it before it can destroy itself or hurt anyone onboard. | |||
The freighter attempts to alter its course, the Juneau widens the containment beam, and they send a warning shot off the bow of the freighter to get them to shut down their engines before trying once more to contact the people on it. And after some time... they finally get an answer of static. | |||
After some sensor clean up they get the words "trapped... Ask..assistance.." over the coms. And while they try to clean it up more, they find they can't without significant risk. And instead Leix suggests sending over a small team to help the freighter, even offering to be the one leading it. At which point, Captain Oddas agrees and sends over Kendrick and Leix to help. | |||

* '''The Freighter''' | |||
Leix and Kendrick beam over to the Freighter, and the bridge is filled with the smell of a charred ship, and move to get a fire extinguisher. Neither Kendrick or Leix know Cardassian and struggle just a little bit with reading the computers, and opening the door. Kendrick phases it open. It's about that point that they hear something, and have their hands on their phasers again, hoping they won't be at a disadvantage. They see a Nuvian, and suddenly they are being shot at. | |||
The Nuvian, Nirria, turns out to not be an enemy, only shooting out of fear and defense, thinking it was one of the ones who ruined their coms, and killed their Captain. She calms a little once she realizes it's Starfleet. Nirria and Leix work to put out the fires while Kendrick updates Captain Oddas on the situation on the Freighter. Also updating her that there's a morse code message that has a set of coordinates and simply reads "Watch Out." | |||
With all the damage to the Freighter, they realize the safest way to get the survivors out, is to abandon the Freighter. Even if it means going deck by deck to make sure they find them all. | |||
* '''The Reaver''' | |||
Pirate Captain Faela, aboard a currently unnoticed ship called The Reaver, watches through her viewscreen as the Juneau engages with the Freighter. Wondering curiously how much the Juneau is willing to risk, and is surprised by their choices before turning to her crew and asks for options on how to keep the ship occupied. | |||
The Arcturian pilot Kef watches as well, thinking of things he wouldn't suggest to the ruthless Captain Faela. Something seems to suggest ties to Starfleet. He voices his "I told you so"s about keeping control of the freighter if it had too much damage, and expresses that he's unsure he's able to keep control of it to the Captain who threatens to throw him out an airlock if he can't manage it. He quietly sends a set of coordinates and the message "watch out" over to the freighter. | |||
