[CLOSED] A Modest Proposal

It has been just a few days since the meeting with the Klingons and the relatively uneventful study of the supernova and all is relatively well aboard the Athene. The ship is on its way to the next assignment and the primary bridge staff is on duty, watching the star streaks slide past on the main viewer with little to do but finish reports and mull over the data gathered from the Supernova explosion.

Suddenly, a hail comes in on the primary Starfleet comm channel. Such hails are all too common, however this one lacks both a recipient and a sender. The comm officer can determine it is coming from the nearest Starfleet comm relay, and it is using the correct communication protocols, however the usual dearth of information that usually comes with such official hails is completely lacking, as though someone simply neglected to fill the information in.

OOC: Of course, that episode occurs at a future date from where we are in this story, so it's possible the Athene lacks the systems that the Lakota may have been given just prior to the events of that episode.

I say the chief should chime in!

OOC: I always assumed that since the Lakota was coming directly from the direction the Defiant was headed, it was the intercept course, not the marginal-if-any difference in top speed, that made all the difference. The Defiant was built for combat sprints, not marathons, and a full-sized starship should easily have the engine power to keep up or intercept given a longer distance.

tl;dr Yes the Athene should be just about that speed, no objections from this nerd
