Fifth Report
Commander's Log; 319th day on assignment:
All fourteen warbirds in this sector have converged on the intruder. The vessel is immense, dwarfing everything we have mustered, and likely all of our remaining forces along the Neutral Zone combined. Sensors have not identified any distinctive markings that would give us a clue as to whom it belongs, but nothing about its appearance strikes me as similar to anything developed by any of the worlds within the Federation.
Scans of the vessel's armament have yielded interesting returns. We have been able to ascertain at least thirty projectile ports, weapon type unknown, and what looks to be entire banks of something not-too-dissimilar to our own disruptor technology. Its shape lacks aesthetic appeal and a micro-singularity has been detected somewhere in what I assume is its core. Is this a means of power generation? Fleet technical has been experimenting with something akin to this to replace the deficient warp technology we have, but it looks as though whoever built this ship has mastered that research.
All attempts to communicate with the intruder have been yielded the same message in text reply, curiously in our language: STAND BY.
