Demore was typing his report of what he had actually found in the alien ship.

 

"A single, large propulsion device was located centrally in the ship's engineering section. After a short test trial, it was discovered that the alien ship gave very high and unusual power output. After running several tests back aboard the USS Pandora's Box, the final conclusion was made that the alien ship was capable of speeds much faster than that of any Federation ship. As my best hypothesis, the ship was capable of transwarp speeds.

 

The most notable item found on the alien ship was the hull structure. Tricorders were unable to read information through the hull, and readings on the other layer of the hull indicated traces of diburnium-osminum. Regeneration capabilities were discovered as we began finding small hull breaches in the alien craft. However, the regeneration was moving very slowly. I assume that power in the regeneration system had almost entirely failed. Hull samples were collected, and are currently being held in the science department.

 

Traces of cyrillium were also recorded, although a source could not be located.

 

Due to the power of the engine, it was assumed the weapon systems would be quite powerful. However, weapons were never located. There was a console on the bridge of the ship believed to be tactical related, but no definate findings were made. There were no viewable weapon ports on the outside of the ship, which made weapon power determinations impossible.

 

No definate time period of when the ship arrived at the location was able to be determined. However, dating the plant life around the craft from an apparent fire in the area, a conclusion was made that the alien ship had been in it's present location for many years. Best estimates on the ships age range from 300-1000 years old. No further age determinations were made."

 

Lieutenant Demore finished the report, and set it on his desk. The report held what was found on the alien ship. Unfortunately, time was a problem... more information could have been gained with just a bit more time.

 

[Time: 10 minutes after the 4/23/04 sim.]

 

Demore had given the data PADD with the report to Captain Ayers, who has since been arrested. No further information has been gained about the alien ship, due to Captain Ayers' removal from Executive Officer. Much of the research team have been placed on hiatus, until further information can be gained. I have removed all engineering personnel from the alien ship's research team.
