- Spock, I have traced the energy signature to a nearby system. My instincts tell me, however, that Z3N has allowed us to find this signature and that we will not find him there.

- Dialogue
- Your assessment is sound. We can further presume that if Z3N left us this signal, there must be more there he wishes us to see, therefore, logically, that system must be our next stop.
