==In order to get to the conclusion, I'm going to keep us moving.==
Sensor displays on the Science and Tactical consoles flashed to life. They didn't beep so much as screamed.
The Os'rusa had arrived in-system, and the probe dispatched to investigate the mysterious energy signature was still within range to relay a visual image, a visual that did not match the known energy signature.
Rather than a Galor-class Cruiser (or Destroyer depending on weapons loadout), the Os'rusa appeared to have been extensively refit and retrofitted with a large dorsal pod. Mounted atop the main hull structure, the pod was believed to contain additional weapons, power generators, and even cloaking technology; this transformed the humble Galor into a much more vicious adversary.
A Keldon-class Battlecruiser.
The Os'rusa immediately began active scans of the system, pinging relentlessly with its fire control system while simultaneously launching probes in a spherical pattern. It was a classic tactic for flushing out a craft trying to hide, usually driving the prey towards ships lurking in ambush positions.
Then the communications channels all activated, the Os'rusa was broadcasting on all available frequencies, including the emergency channels. The voice that flowed through the speakers was not that of Gul Hanar; it was precise, clipped, aristocratic. Female.
[Captain Braggins and the crew of the USS Yeager. There is little use in hiding, for we know you are here. You are violating Cardassian territory, an act of war. Of course, what else is to be expected of the famous Jennifer Braggins? Fighter Pilot. War Hero. Illegal Augment. You are also wanted by the Cardassian Union for the crimes of Piracy and Murder. Surrender yourself to us, and the Yeager will be allowed to return to Federation Space.]
The female voice paused for a few seconds, as if for dramatic effect.
[I will give you five minutes. After that, you and your crew will be treated as enemy combatants and dealt with accordingly.]
