Rushing into the ready room, she taps her command console to get active, “Computer connect me to Captain Neanneh Draidot of Starfleet Operations” She hears a bleep as Sazra gets quickly into attention and waits for the connection to get pushed through. 

A Betazoid appears on the screen as she looks at the young ensign and narrows her eyes. “What can I do for you, Ensign…?” She looked a bit questionable, wondering why an ensign was calling her.

“Captain Draidot, I am Ensign Sazra Praugol of the USS Jaxartes. I am with my crew out in the Typhon Frontier performing a scientific mission to understand better violent nebulas to assure the safety of passage by other vessels of the Federation” Sazra saw the confused eyes of the Captain. “Right…mmm, on routine long-range scans, we have potentially found an unknown object within the nebula we are currently. This object has already been concluded by the computer that it is not an asteroid or anything of that kind. But believed to be a ship of some kind in distress” 

The Captain sat back in her chair as she placed her hands over each other, “Pleasure to meet you, Ensign Praugol. I have indeed received news from your endeavor into the Typhon Frontier. The data on the object, please pass it by” She orders.

Sazra nodded quickly, moved to the console, and pushed the info through as she quickly got back to attention. “There you go, Captain” She felt so formal, but in the back of her head, this was what she was taught by her teachers at the academy. So it was kinda going in a neutral way.

Neanneh looked at the data, let her head hang to the side, then turned her attention back at the Ensign, “That is a potential ship, but you have to investigate further. Did you receive any SOS signals from the ship?” 

Now that she mentions it, Sazra blinks and slowly shakes her head. “No, I honestly have not yet checked sir” She rose her finger. “But, on the picture itself, if you zoom in, you see a trial of potential plasma leakage” She remembered the image clearly and lowered her finger. 

Looking back at the image and nods, “Well that is a hard assumption Ensign, but what is your reason to call in on my line?” 

Sazra blinks and struggles for a moment to get an answer. “Well….you see I wish to receive advice on what the best course of action is for this” 

Letting out a deep sigh as she leans forward on her desk, “It is in these pinnacle moments that you as a brave new commanding officer must stand your ground. This means that you can’t fall back on checking in with the command in time of action. You need to make those choices yourself, be a big girl, and not rely on others as the fate of your crew hangs on your choice” She saw the spirit of the Ensign break in front of her “But…for this time I will advise you to find out a way to get closer, if able to get inside. Don’t use any transportation systems as it will backfire on you in the nebula interference. If you require help send out a message to us, but only if you need it do I make myself clear Ensign?”

She looked puzzled at what she was just told but quickly snapped to attention and nodded to the Captain, “Thank you for your advice on the matter. I will try to resolve them as good as possible in my own choices that will have to come after I find out what this is” 

Giving a pleasing approval nod, the Captain leans back again. “Good, now go out there and make us proud. Captain Draidot out” The screen went black as Sazra was standing there alone and snapped quickly out of it as she walked out of her ready room to get this operation going.
