"Admiral, I do wish that I could provide a better answer than that,
but as of yet the only thing that we were able to truely get on them is a
few video images, and accounts from those beings that we have captured that
were working with them." Black added.

"I suppose we move on to the good stuff. What we have learned since
our last meeting. The team of engineers that we have working on this
project from the USS Stargazer, while she under goes major refit, from other
SF sources, and from the border patrol, we have been analyzing sample of
their captured technology. It appears as if the aliens are making some kind
of portal. Our engineering team theorizes that this dimensional/subspace
rift that they use for faster than light transport must have a portal at
both ends to keep the opening stable. I will get into the why in a moment.
Also, with the cooperative efforts of many, we have decifered some of their
lanugaue from their communications. It is from our analysis of their
tactics, technology, and from the communications that it appears as if they
plan on invading our space. This has been reciently confirmed by one of the
intell field operatives here, code named Hunter, who also feels that they
are attempting to destabilize this area prior to a full blown invasion. In
order to make securing a foot hold much easier. From Hunter's reports we
think that these beings are highly organized, highly intelligent, and highly
militaristic. From first hand accounts they deal out punnishment in the
form of a hunt. Where the condemed are only spared if they can make it to a
given point before they are hunted down and slaughtered like game.
Based on this information, I would like Starfleet's permission to propose to
the Task Force that a small aquadron of ships be sent to where they come
from. The purpose being to learn as much about them as possible about their
society, arms, technology, and plans. " Black stopped to allow questions at
this point.
