I’ve never seen the Orions be that aggressive. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of them, Commander. We should keep an eye out.

For now, though, the Mayflower needs some TLC. We’ll take it from here.

Systems are showing green across the board, Doctor. Our warp core wasn’t too happy with the sudden acceleration, but everything looks stable.

The data we captured from Bos Vehna finally convinced Starfleet Command to take us seriously. They sent the USS Mayflower to gather more data on the life form we encountered.

As soon as they arrived in the upper atmosphere, the gas cloud enveloped the ship, just like it did with us.

However, when the Mayflower ejected Dilithium, like we instructed, the cloud didn’t dissipate.

Quite the opposite, in fact. It seemed to add the Dilithium to its mass. It adapted! We’re seeing evolution on a scale that’s unheard of.

Here’s where things get really interesting. Once the Mayflower’s shields dropped, the lifeform retreated back to the planet. The vessel suffered no structural damage, whatsoever.

Curiously, their engines seem to have been augmented somehow. They’ve reported increased speeds and warp efficiency since their encounter with the creature.

Commander, I understand you’ll be escorting us on our little field trip today. Well, I’m glad to have you with us. Truth be told, I’m feeling a bit nervous about these experiments.

Excited is not the word I’d use to describe my current mindset. I’ll remind you that our namesake was destroyed by the last technological marvel it came in contact with.

Alright, I think we should start out with something a bit lighter, to get those engines warmed up. Commander, why don’t you lead the way to the Tellun system?

All systems nominal, Doctor. The warp core is holding steady, Dilithium stores are stable and engines are purring.

Yes, ma’am. From the looks of it, we made it here at a speed of roughly zero point seven four percent of one light year per hour.

Infinite velocity… Up until this point, it’s been purely theoretical. Any adverse effects on the ship or crew, Captain? That kind of speed has never been successfully attempted before.

Your engines have taken us farther and faster than we ever would have thought possible, Captain. It stands to reason that they’d be able to take a bit more punishment, too.
