This is a little experiment of mine. Depending upon how well it's recieved
will determine how long I persue it. This first story is the begining of
a series of short "cliff hanger" stories I will be doing. The first series
of stories will introduce a new major character for Enterprise.
I hope you enjoy it and keep checking back for new episodes.

"We are approaching the source of the distress signal Captain." reported the Vulcan science officer
"Let's see it." said Archer
The view screen shimmered slightly as the image was magnified and brought into sharp focus.
A small vessel filled the center of the screen.
"That's one of the old DY-200 class interplanetary cargo ships." said Travis Mayweather "What's it doing all the way out here?"
"It appears to be adrift, Captain." reported T'Pol "Sensors show no sign of power reactors being active."
"Life signs?" asked the Captain
T'Pol hesitated a moment, continuing to scan the ship. Finally, she responded.
"There are no life signs aboard." she said "However, I am detecting numerous trace signature bioreadings, Captain."
"Corpses." said Reed
"Yes" T'Pol said flatly
"Any sign of an attack?" asked the Captain
"Sensors show no signs of external damage." she reported "The vessel appears to be secure but without power."
"Hoshi?" he asked
"Nothing new sir." she reported "Just the automated distress beacon. No answer to our hails."
The Captain looked at the view screen.
"Mr. Reed, your with me. Have a security team meet us in the shuttle bay." he said as he got up from his chair and headed towards the turbo lift "T'Pol, you have the bridge. Have the Doctor and Commander Tucker meet us in the shuttle bay. I want the crew on alert status until we find out what's happened over there."
"Yes, Captain." answered the Vulcan as she moved from the science station to the Captain's Chair. She tapped the intra ship communications panel on the chair. "Doctor Pholx, Commander Tucker report too the shuttle bay immediately. All hands, yellow alert, duty personnel report to your stations. This is not a drill."
