After some time, the stowaway problem was solved, and travelling mid-jump to the Polaris System. The Arcadian had finally arrived, and as Mathis gazed at the triple star system. They are now the first humans to visit the Polaris System, and they can begin to explore the system that has baffled scientists for centuries. But before Mathis could give an order or much less speak. The Signals Officer, Janika Leino had to speak up in a confused tone. 

"Captain, I am getting strange readings coming from within the system." 

Mathis turned to her with a curious but serious look. "How strange, are we talking Leino?"

"Very, like nothing we have seen before, and I am trying to figure out where in the system the readings are coming from." Leino, clearly focused on her duties. 

"Hmmm," Mathis looked back at the viewport and studied the system the best he could. "So this system has more than meets the eye." Saying it in a concerned tone. "Someone get Vance back up here and alert the scientists aboard. They may be needed." 

"Captain," Leino's voice spoke up, "I have found the source of the strange readings. Near one of the planets, Polaris B VIII, and it appears to be coming from some kind of ship. Unknown type, probably alien. "

"A ship Leino?" Mathis was surprised, "Is it active or giving out anything else but the strange readings?"

"No sir, it is not moving, and I am only getting the strange readings from it. Nothing else."

Mathis leaned back in his chair as he planned the Arcadian's next move. Sitting right back up after a moment of thought. "Weiss, make course for this ship, but be careful with it." The captain said in a cautious tone, "just in case there are more surprises with this system, and prepare a boarding team." Mathis's steely gaze fixed on the viewpoint. "Since it could be a wreck, I want to know what on that ship is making these readings and see what information can be gathered from it." 

"Understood, sir, I will alert necessary personnel," Laino replied and started messaging people throughout the ship. 

The first system they visit, and already they discover something very interesting of note. Mathis thought as the preparations were being made. If this is a sign of what is to come, then he and the crew can expect an interesting mission for themselves. But he realized he was getting ahead of himself in anticipation of what they would find during this mission. Finding the remains of an alien ship is one way to start the mission, but whether or not it is a sign of what is to come is. It shows how eventful this mission may be.
