VESTA is correct, Commander. I’m picking up a Starfleet battle group in the system. They are approaching us, bearing 23 mark 17. ETA to intercept, two minutes.

I have been running my own calculations since you left. A tachyonic burst at the right frequency could trigger a cascading response in the vacuum.

However, I have discovered an alternative. An ion wave, pulsating at the opposite frequency to the ambient quantum noise inherent in the vacuum.
