Sensors were functioning perfectly for once. There was no residual warp trail in the immediate area; if this was a ship, it had dropped from warp and crept into the system under Impulse power. For a moment, there was nothing on the other side of the border. Then there was. A Cardassian Galor-class warship, matching the Yeager's speed, had materialised seemingly out of nowhere.
==T'Lari==
Active sensors were wonderful things, especially on a ship as advanced as the Yeager. Lashing the sensor contact with navigational, scientific and fire control sensors stripped away the effects of whatever stealth systems the small ship was using, and probably didn't do much good to the other ship's passive sensor array.
Identified as a Greer-class light freighter, essentially an old Oberth class sans the secondary hull outrigger, at first the smaller ship went to full Impulse and vectored away from the Yeager, accelerating extraordinarily quickly for a craft of its tonnage. Then the Captain obviously realized he wasn't getting away, and shut down his engines.
Oddly, the engine signature seemed familiar. As though T'Lari had seen it before.
==Braggins==
For a moment, nothing happened. Then, once the ship had shut down its engines and resumed its ballistic coasting through the system, the comm. system came back to life.
[I guess you got me. Come alongside, I won't give you any trouble.]
The other ship's Captain sounded far calmer than the ship's initial reaction to being scanned would suggest. Almost bored or annoyed, even. Possibly more interesting than the tone of the voice, was that Braggins and T'Lari would recognise it; they'd dealt with this individual before, on the old Yeager.
