After some ''issues'' with leaving drydock on DS33, the USS ''Ronin'' is underway, heading into the Alpha Isles on its shakedown cruise. The Ship is barely holding together in places, but in true Starfleet fashion, the newly assembled crew is expected to perform miracles with blunt instruments. Upon arriving in the Sunjat system, | After some ''issues'' with leaving drydock on DS33, the USS ''Ronin'' is underway, heading into the Alpha Isles on its shakedown cruise. The Ship is barely holding together in places, but in true Starfleet fashion, the newly assembled crew is expected to perform miracles with blunt instruments. Upon arriving in the Sunjat system, Lt.Cdrs. [[Alieth]] and [[Kirsty Lee Carpenter|Carpenter]] locate debris from an older vessel, a trail leading to a nearby gas giant and evidence of an attack. Erring on the side of proactive caution, Cdr. [[Karrod Niac|Niac]] gives orders to approach the gas giant and engage in a search for the origin of the debris. Meanwhile, the debris is transported onboard for closer examination, and Lt. [[V'Len Kel|Kel]] and his staff in Sickbay is ordered to prepare for possible casualties. | ||

The search for the freighter commences in earnest with Cdr. [[Alieth]], LT [[Kammus Corelli|Corelli]] and Ensigns [[Luxa Lorana|Lorana]] and [[Marty Tucker|Tucker]] setting to work on improving sensor efficiency, as well as making a workable grid for probe deployment. Numerous runabouts are also dispatched along the probes to improve the ''Ronin'''s chances at locating any freighters in need. While reading the data being collected by the probes, the science team locate a pair of warp signatures, with one likely originating from the damaged freighter, as well as a garbled, but strangely anomalous, distress signal that Ensign [[Luxa Lorana|Lorana]] suggests patching through to the Bridge. | The search for the freighter commences in earnest with Lt.Cdr.

Meanwhile, Cdr. [[Toryn Raga|Raga]], Lt.Cdr. [[Kirsty Lee Carpenter|Carpenter]], Lt. [[V'Len Kel|Kel]] and Ensigns [[Maverick Kenmore|Kenmore]] and [[C'iri Mingan Hopkins|Hopkins]] congregate in Cargo Bay 5 to examine the debris that had been brought on board. Upon closer examination, however, they realize that the located debris does not originate from just ''one'' type of vessel, but multiple different kinds. More notably, however, is the fact that the damage to the debris does not correlate to conventional weaponry, and all the debris is not hull debris, indicating internal damage to the vessel(s) the debris originated from. Upon closer examination by Lt.Cdr. [[Kirsty Lee Carpenter|Carpenter]], a piece of the debris crumbles into dust in her hands when she applies pressure, and this brings forth a troubling question: "''Now I ain't just worried about what did this. I'm worried about just what in damnation it might do to a living being. Not to mention shields...''"<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ronin/c/CFXbmVSpcz4 'Rust and Bone'], Lt.Cdr.
