Episode 62: "The Discovery"

Last time, the Gibraltar was hit by chroniton beams. After a careful inspection of the ship, no residual chronitons were found, so the Gibraltar was sent out again, this time without the Captain and XO, who stayed behind on DS19 to give a report to the dreaded Temporal Investigations department.

The Gibraltar, under command of Lt.Cmdr. Richardjrn Weatherwax, went back to the anomaly from which those beams were fired. When they arrived, they found that there was a large amount of chroniton particles present.

Before they could run a complete scan though, they detected an unusual signal nearby. It seemed to be a probe of some sort, which had come through the anomaly. The crew didn't recognise the alien configuration of the probe, but it was clear that it was sending out a signal. Was it trying to make contact?

If so, it was impossible to know who it was though, but that didn't stop Lt.Cmdr. Weatherwax from wanting to find out what the probe was signalling. He ordered power boosted to the communications array.

The message they finally received, was one single sentence:

"It's one small step for man... one giant leap for mankind."

To be Continued!
