CAPTAIN'S LOG Stardate 100355.9
While conducting a routine survey mission, Reyga has received a distress call. The call was nonspecific and only transmitted briefly before disappearing. We’ve traced the source and have set a course.
CAPTAIN'S LOG Supplemental
The distress call was sent by a civilian runabout, SS Shavokh, which appeared to have been attacked by an Andorian freight hauler. There was no immediate indication of the cause of the confrontation, and no hostilities were undertaken in our presence. Both vessels moved to depart, with the freighter going to high warp. The runabout, on the other hand, had sustained damage and was unable to gain any significant distance. Despite this, they initially signaled that they were in no distress and refused to provide information or accept assistance.
Only when the runabout occupants realized that they would be unable to travel under their own power did they request our help. Specifically, they requested that Reyga tow them to the nearest aperture of the Yuhop Wormhole, which they hoped to reach as soon as possible. They continued to refuse offers of engineering and medical assistance, and were unwilling to be brought aboard. We complied with their request, though their damage progressed and they were eventually forced to beam aboard.
We’re currently taking the runabout into our bay to conduct repairs. Commander Sedai is meeting our reluctant guests in the transporter room.
CAPTAIN'S LOG Supplemental
The occupants of the runabout were a trio of teenagers, who had … ‘borrowed’ the runabout from one of their mothers. They were attempting to reach Atenalp to attend a music festival.

We’re on our way to get a firsthand look at this festival. This kind of event and interstellar attention is unprecedented for the Yuhop, and honestly concerning, given the system’s strategic importance.
Engineering should have the runabout repaired by the time we arrive, and we’re in the process of contacting the parents. After we investigate the festival, we’ll be returning the children – and their vessel, back home.
