[19:18] ::steps into line:: 12U.S.S. Yosemite reported a mysterious seven-year-old debris field orbiting Barnard's Star. The debris was made up of half Borg cube elements and half debris from a Federation starship... specifically, the U.S.S. Coronado. 12Coronado has Jaunted back to the time of Wolf 359 to investigate the possibility of a second Borg cube in the area... also puzzling was a remnant of an unknown energy signature in the debris: high-energy, high-frequency, narrow frequency range.
