After a few hours of Low alert status the Constructor ship and its escorts, including the Research ship Twitching Finger orbited one of the gas giants in close formation, each ship a mere 150,000 Kilometers away from eachother, The Crew of the ships intermingled in virtual reality, Wormhole Communication was fairly expensive and was not used often for casual conversation so they flew in this close formation to minimize communication lag. One of the crewmembers of the Katticara was hosting a movie night "Implausible Feats: Children Of Fate" an ancient Pre-Technocracy era animated series, Larger than life heroes Conflicting with eachother over how power is to be used. Children of Fate was generally considered on ancient Iskata to be one of the 'deepest' of the "Implausible Feats" storylines questioning ethical theories and providing a metaphysical explanation of the strange supernatural occurances in the "Implausible Feats Series"  

In the middle of the broadcast the virtual world was filled with bright light and sounds "ATTENTION! UNIDENTIFIED VESSEL DETECTED" The Crew of the Twitching Finger quickly plugged into their consoles, The sensor officer started uploading the information to the rest of the fleet "Unidentified FTL signature detected, Does not conform to Kia or Enemy technology, Anomalously low energy from warp exit"

One of the ships engineers scanned through the data "More efficiency perhaps? Ship design is nothing like the Enemies, Will have to get in a little closer to gather more information. If this species is more advanced than we are it is likely they have already detected our operations in this system."

The mission director relayed a message to the Drunken Scuffle "Mission Director Kalipot here, Unidentified vessel in system, Unknown species, No indication its the enemy Follow First contact protocol 48-B"

The Drunken Scuffle, as the protocol suggested, aimed all of its weapons at the unidentified starship while launching a barrage of missiles, the missiles did not head towards the alien starship but instead flew in chaotic formations around the frigate prepared to launch towards the enemy ship at a moments notice.
