Despite the Mortican Frontier being relatively unexplored, the Alpha Quadrant’s major factions have already begun staking their claim over this strange sector.

There is much to explore here, Commander. I suggest we locate the signal's origin that led us here.

Fascinating. Commander, the signal appears to originate from a nebula within this system. Sensors cannot penetrate the nebula’s ion clouds, but I am picking up the vague shape of vessels within.

I apologize, Commander. That was… overwhelming. My core databanks were flooded with several yottabytes of data within 0.21 milliseconds.

However, amid my shutdown, I discovered something. I had mentioned before that the data stream we received from the transmission seemed familiar.

I encountered similar data just now. Upon closer inspection, I believe this is the algorithmic makeup of an advanced Progenitor intelligence that the Progenitors hoped to leave behind for future civilizations.

These are no mere vessels, Commander. We are looking at ancient Progenitor ships, perfectly preserved within this ion nebula.

Telemetry suggests these vessels have been dormant here for at least seven-hundred years. However, the signal we received only began transmitting recently, around the same time the Vacuum collapsed.

I am preparing to scan the databanks of these vessels. Perhaps we can learn more about– Ah!

Commander, we are receiving a transmission. I am unable to determine its exact origin. However, its contents seem rather intriguing…

It consists of a simple string of coordinates and technical data. It is odd; the data seems almost… familiar.

I cannot articulate my reasoning. However, I feel… compelled to follow this transmission. The coordinates provided lead us to the Mortican Frontier, a newly settled region on the border of the Beta Quadrant.

I understand this is outside our current line of inquiry, Commander, but I believe it to be worth our time. Setting a course for the Frontier.
