Commander, our cyberwarfare suite is reporting an unidentified signal attempting to patch into our communications. I am not detecting any malicious software, however.

There is no sign of the Discovery within this system. If they had to leave in a hurry, that might suggest that they are in danger.

However, that would also likely result in them leaving behind a radiation trail. Calibrating short range sensors, filtering for warp trails matching Discovery’s signatures…

mycelial spores detected. The Discovery must have utilized their spore drive. I may be able to use the readings we received during their first visit here to determine their destination.

Stamets appeared to be in a state of panic, Commander. It may be that the Discovery is undergoing some kind of technical malfunction.

I have a lock on the Discovery, Commander. Attempting to… Wait, I am detecting a massive pulse of ion radiation emanating from their warp core!

They are gone, again. What could possibly be happening on that ship? The radiation levels detected would be fatal to any unprotected organics within the engineering department.

We must find a way to contact Stamets, but the signal is barely intelligible… Perhaps if I were to use our deflector array to bypass the cosmic interference and ion radiation, we would have a cleaner signal.

I will get to work on that. For now, we must attempt to track down the Discovery again.
