== NRC – Flint Chertstone – Tactical Officer ==
It didn't take long for Flint's scans to return an incoming contact. A local vessel of some kind was already approaching them rather conservativity at half impulse, but it wasn't exactly making itself known either. It didn't seem to be broadcasting any hails toward them offering either help or even basic 'are you okay?' message.
“Ma'am, sensors are showing a vessel inbound from the planet, but they haven't hailed us yet. And their shields are raised.”
Just like every other officer aboard, Flint had taken the appropriate courses and seminars at the academy on first contact situations. And as per chapter one, verse one. This one was already beginning as all others did. No plan survives first contact.
“Permission to open a hailing frequency?”
