Commander, if my analysis is correct, this beacon belonged to the USS Franklin, which has been missing for approximately 100 years.

Commander, I’m picking up another beacon from the Franklin, but it looks like someone else got here first. I’m detecting a Nausicaan vessel on course towards the beacon.

It appears to be a repeating message, but we cannot crack the encryptions. This is where it gets interesting.

The transmission appears to originate from a Federation vessel, yet the encryption matches no known Federation tables.

We’ve pinpointed the source of the signal, a planet called Thaspa, in the Orion system. Would you care to investigate, Commander? It would appear to be quite the mystery.

The rest of the crew, including the Captain, are skeptical. They don’t think that Starfleet will make the trip through the Radiation Belt just to get us.

The log ends there. There are several Class M planets in this system, but preliminary scans do not show any sign of the Franklin. It appears the trail has run cold. I am sorry.

I can’t let that kind of thinking spread. I need to maintain the crew’s focus. Captain Edison is counting on me.
