Captain's Log, Stardate 47239.6:
We're on our way to the Noble-System close to the Romulan border, but still obviously on our side so that I don't expect any difficulties with our neighbours. The only sun in the system, Donna-458, is about to burn out and simply collapse. As it is a rare phenomenon, we are going to witness and record the event.
"When will we arrive at the system?" Captain Picard asked.
"Our estimated arrival time will be in ten minutes and thirty-four seconds," Data read from the console in front of him.
Picard nodded, only a few more minutes to wait.
"Captain, our long range sensors are picking up strange readings from one of the planets," Commander Worf suddenly informed.
"What do you mean by strange?"
"I am not certain, Sir. We need to get closer to do a full scan. But it appears as if there was a kind of life forms."
"The only colony registered for the system resettles three weeks ago," Riker said and looked at the Captain for help.
"Any problems?" Picard asked.
"No. There had been a religious group who didn't want to leave their sainted soil but they had been persuaded to leave," his Number One answered.
Picard nodded and thought for a moment. "Commander Data, accelerate to Warp 8. I think we should take a look before the sun collapses. On which planet were these life forms detected, Mr. Worf?"
"On the third, its designation is D-34. Due to the expansion of the sun, its rich vegetation is first expected to be burnt and then the soil will turn into an ice desert."
"Didn't the explorer have any time to invent real names for the planets?" Riker asked surprised.
"There is no information about the discovery of the system. The first colony settled down five hundred years ago and the name of the sun and the system were derived from the religious beliefs in two Gods with supernatural power and instruments. It came to first contact with the Federation at Stardate 41223.4," Worf gave a full-length explanation before he was interrupted by Data, "Captain. We have entered the solar system."
"Set a course to orbit the third planet," the Captain ordered and then turned to Riker, "take an away team of five. Try to find the life form and make contact. Ask if it is aware of the natural catastrophe that the planet awaits. Hail me if there are problems."
Riker nodded. "Data," he chose his first away team member and the two officers left the bridge.

"I beam you to the coordinates of where the life forms were first detected. I have to inform you that they're really slight and could also resemble a transporter echo," the new transporter chief said when the away team, including Riker, Data, LaForge and two tactical officers, stepped on the platform.
It took only a few seconds until they materialised on the surface of the planet.
"I want Chief O'Brien back," Riker complained when he looked around.
They seemed in the middle of nowhere. There were a few bushes and small trees, but it was cold and they were half-way of a mountain. "We are at an estimated height of 1,500 meters," Data read from the Tricorder. "We have to go further up."
"I'd rather like to be down there," Geordi mentioned and pointed down. A few miles away, the flora and fauna had spread and it looked like a green and blue ocean of vegetation. But nevertheless, he followed the other officers toward the top of the mountain. It took them ten minutes to reach the end of this way and stood at a kind of platform. Data just wanted to explain where the way toward the top continued, when he spotted the awkward stone formation a few meters ahead of them.
"Are they statues?" one of the Red Shirts asked surprised.
"The Tricorder says that they are indeed made of stone but they are also the reason for the life form readings as they eradiate a similar energy pattern," Data answered.
"What are they now, stone with energy patterns or life forms?" Riker asked confused and a little bit suspicious. He looked around but noticed nothing strange.
"I would say both, Commander," Data said in the voice that made him sound a bit surprised as well.
"There are two more of them," the Ensign mentioned and looked at two other stone formations near the stone wall which was part of the mountain. "They look like angels," he added.
Curiously, LaForge walked forward. His visor also picked up the energy radiation but there was something else that alarmed him. The stone angel looked indeed real, his face covered in his hands and the wings at his back. "I thought the colony was non-human," he said.
"It was. Only few humans lived here after the planet joined the territory of the United Federation. There was also no report of stone art made or left behind," Data answered.
"Commander!" the Ensign suddenly shouted.
"What is it?" Riker asked and turned around to see where the tactical officer was pointing at.
"They weren't here before, I assume."
"No, they weren't," the Commander agreed and looked at the stone angels who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind them. He took a quick look around to notice that they were surrounded. Indeed strange, he thought and sighed slowly. He bet that Picard did want a report of that.
