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." "Raising shields," replied the Security Officer. This was definitely not going as she had expected. She continued to back them away from the area. The shuttle fired a few warning shots as it approached the dark spot. It quickly sent out a signal to the spot, and the spot blossomed in transformation. A moment later, the "eye" had returned and started flairing with energy before releasing it. The emitted beam struck the shuttle and the ship simply disappeared. McTiernan turned from his console. "I think that might support our
hypothesis that it is some sort of transport device."
