       Maria turned to face the Captain and took a breathe.
       "Sir, may I recommend that we get a closer look at the metallic
       mass? It could be something or nothing, but getting large masses
       of metal in an asteroid field is uncommon." She said hoping that
       he agreed as it would be interesting to find out. She then
       added. "I wouldn't recommend getting too close because the
       asteroids could potentially damage the ship." She finished after
       giving her full report.

       Anderson listened to the exchange between science and ops,
       before the conversation took a turn towards himself from Maria.
       Obviously the Chief Science officer felt it necessary to point
       out the mass, in her own words it was uncommon to see such an
       occurrence. John thought for a moment about the ships orders, in
       light of the recent troubles on Andoria, the likelihood of
       undesirables causing trouble had doubled. Their relative
       location was well within striking range of supply routes, used
       by civilian and Starfleet ships.
       "Very well Lieutenant." The Captain said standing up and moving
       to the view screen and turning about. "Helm get the coordinates
       from ops or science and take us there at one half impulse, but
       do not penetrate the asteroid field."

       "Yes Captain requesting the coordinates now " Maura replied her
       hands moving quickly over the console as she sent the request,
       once she received them then she would take the ship in as
       requested stopping at the edge of the Asteroid Field. She
       remembered when the Dark Phoenix had suffered damage as a
       result of being forced into an Asteroid Field and certainly
       wasn't going to let the Churchill suffer the same problems.

       Maria transferred the coordinates over to the Helm as requested
       and then continued to watch the readings for if anything changed
       and to wait to see the results of the object.

       A beep from her console alerted Maura to the incoming
       information from the Science station and immediately set a
       course on one half impulse, moving the controls with ease as she
       brought the ship about to its new destination. " Co ordinates

       7 Minutes Later
       John had stayed at the viewer as the ship moved its position, it
       didn't take long to spot the metallic object mixed amongst the
       rock. Anderson squinted his eyes and tried to focus on the
       object, it was rectangular shaped and definitely not a random
       piece of metal. The Captain turned and face the ops officer and
       science in turn. "Can either of you tell what it is? Is it a
       ship or station or....something?"

       Main Engineering
       Howell had been in engineering since the start of his shift. It
       was good to be back on a starship, there was nothing quite like
       it. He had been reviewing and correcting systems all shift to
       get them to work how he wished. Just as was going to perform
       some alignment checks on the navigation system a red light
       appeared on the terminal he was at, accompanied by a distinct
       sound. It was a Master Warning and one that Dan had not seen
       since the academy. It was warning him that something was causing
       a massive fluctuation in the gravity field of the ship, causing
       the gravity generators to work at a dangerously increased level.
       Bringing up and reading the sensors, he saw an object in front
       of the ship that was giving out huge gravitational readings. Not
       understanding these readings, or what the object was, he decided
       to report immediately to the bridge in search of answers
       Bridge
       Arriving a few moments later on the bridge, he didn't even
       bother going to the engineering station and instead reported
       directly to the Captain. Standing to attention, he said
       "Captain, I don't know what that object is in front of the ship,
       but it is giving out huge gravitational readings that are
       constantly fluctuating, it had caused the ships gravitational
       generators to work at a dangerously high level to keep the field
       stable." He finished, handing the Captain a PADD with
       information on the object and the generators.

       John turned towards the Chief Engineer as he approached, he
       didn't know the Chief too well, but that was something he hoped
       to change at some point. Taking the PADD and listening to the
       report verbally, Anderson looked up towards Lieutenant B'Ozian.
       "Lieutenant did you say something about distortion on the
       sensors?"

       "Yes Sir, the sensors were distorted from that range, I have
       modified the sensors to compensate for Magnetic interference,
       still not perfect but from the readings I can confirm the mass
       appears to be a ship and I am also detecting 8 life signs, Maybe
       Lieutenant Dyson can confirm the species".
       He continued to work on the interference trying to clear it up
       as he again looked over to the helm officer "Ensign are you
       expeiencing any issues with the deflector ?"  Magnetic
       interference could possibly reduce the effectivness of the dish
       and have disasterous effects giving their location.

       "Understood Lieutenant." John replied turning to Howell. "I'm no
       Engineer, but could those magnetic forces be what's causing the
       problem?" He asked moving to the side of the ops station. "Mr
       B'Ozian try hailing them and Ensign Stewart..." He said looking
       towards the helm. "Just to be on the safe side, reverse engines
       and back us off."
