Odd. Commander, I am picking up a continuous transmission over galactic channels.

Aye, we’re getting that too. It’s… nothing. Just white noise.

Attempting to triangulate the point of origin… It is coming from the quantum vacuum site.

What? That can’t be possible, that whole system was wiped out.

Perhaps this is VESTA, attempting to communicate with us. It is possible that she survived the collapse. This may be worth investigating.

I’m coming with you. I’m sick to death of waiting for the Captain to come back anyway.

Well, I’m not getting anything here. I guess we’re just… Wait. Oh. Woah, woah, what in the bloody hell is this?

The transmission. The readings. It’s not cosmic noise and it’s not a radio frequency either. I thought it had to be because of the sheer scale.

Would you look at this place? It’s nothing but a void.

Void is an accurate descriptor, Montgomery. There are no lifesigns, no background readings. There is nothing.

Except for that transmission. Could be cosmic noise. It’s been known to get picked up on radio frequencies.

Possibly, but we will not know for sure unless we investigate further. Commander, we should move closer to the former eye of the vacuum.
