I am going to take us in.  Let me know immediately if you see any indication
of a rise in radiation or other variation as we  approach." Aravis turned to
her station and input the commands to move the Runabout toward their
destination.

The Runabout glided toward the  dark spot of Jupiter.  There was little
indication of changes as they  approached, but the radiation level was
starting to rise as they  approached.

Hilda turned to the others from her console.  "I am showing a ship  coming
in fast.  She looks like a Peregrine-class shuttle.  She is  heading our
way."

The dark spot quickly began to morph.  It was taking on the characteristics
that were captured by the missing scientists.

Aravis took the Runabout into a series of evasive maneuvers, backing them
away from the spot.  "What is happening with the approaching shuttle?"

Hilda turned back to her console.  "It is heading in our direction.  It does not seem to have noticed that we are here.  Either that or it just doesn't care."

"Warn them off the area.  Tell them that the area has been closed off to
space traffic because of a natural phenomenon that is endangering the space
lanes."

Perry Morris opened a comm line and warned them off, but there was no response to his calls.  At least there was no verbal response. 
 
The Peregrine-shuttle brought its weapons systems online almost as soon as he had announced that they were a Starfleet ship.  The shuttles systems targetted the Runabout. 
 
I don't think these guys consider us friends.  They are targeting us with their phasers."
