“It’s encrypted,” Uhura says, a series of rapid symbols appearing on her console, “but it’s coming from one of ours.”
Without prompting, Spock receives the same jumbled data from Uhura. Pike looks at him, and he gets to work analyzing, ignoring how Sarek studies his profile. In under a minute, Spock pinpoints the ship’s location. “Fifty kilometers east of Rigel X.”
His stomach grows queasy. That’s where a very specific ship is exploring. He taps away on his console, searching for more information on the vessel.
When his worst fears are confirmed in red letters, Spock can’t help the “no” that slips from his mouth.
“Spock?” Pike prompts, a spot of panic in his tone.
Spock’s heart thunders in his ears. He pushes the involuntary reaction aside and replies, “it is the USS Farragut, sir.”
