In the Pacific Ocean Heavy Cruiser Nachi of the First Oriental Fleet was doing her patrols. She was also tasked to jam any form of wireless communications so that the humans across from the ocean can't communicate with each other. However just then she detected an odd signal that she never encountered before. The structure of the signal was similar to a hailing message but it wasn't in the format the Fleet of Fog uses. Nachi investigated further and tried to find the origin of the signal.

She was shocked that it originated not on the planet but from space. Nachi decided to report this in the next Student Council meeting that should take place soon.

Seven of Nine was in the astrometrics lab examining the scans of the quantum communications going on from Earth. Captain Janeway entered in.

"What have you found out so far?" The Captain asked

"The sources of all of the quantum signals are not originating on land but in the oceans. However I did find one source that is on the shores of San Diego." Seven of Nine reported

"Then we should send the away team to San Diego." The Captain responded

The port city of San Diego was a where I-401 was to deliver the vibration warhead to America. In a abandoned nearby alley 3 lights appeared out of nowhere. The light then faded away to show 3 hunams of the away team. The away team composed of Commander Chakotay, Ensign Kim and Lieutenant Paris. They were wearing casual 21st century clothing instead of their Starfleet uniforms so that they would not acquire unwanted attention. After all they needed to minimize contact as it would violate the Prime Directive for them to show their 24th century technology.

"Alright Seven of Nine told us that there was quantum waves in the shore of the city so we should head there." Commander Chakotay stated

The 3 of them headed towards the shore of the city. Along the way they saw that the city was broken down with garbage almost everywhere and the local population is suffering from starvation and lack of proper plumbing.

"This place looks like if there is a war going on." Ensign Kim said

"Well we can't help them directly but maybe they could help us." Lieutenant Paris responded as he walked up to what appears to be a store of some sort.

"Excuse me sir how much for that emm.. hat?"

"50 dollars." the store man said

"We forgot about currency." Ensign Kim whispered to Commander Chakotay

"You people aren't from around here are you? Where are you from?" the store man said as he noticed that the away team are wearing clothing that wasn't common in San Diego.

"Emm… Europe." Lieutenant Paris responded nervously.

"Europe? Then how did you cross the Atlantic Ocean without the Fog finding you?"

"The Fog?" Lieutenant Paris asked

"You know the mysterious and invincible World War 2 ships that beat our asses 7 years ago. But that doesn't matter now. Are you going to buy the hat or not?" the store man said

"Well… maybe next time." Lieutenant Paris said as the 3 of them left.

Commander Chakotay took out his tricorder.

"We are only about half kilometer away from the source." Commander Chakotay said

Just then they reached a fence that had a sign that said "Restricted area! San Diego Naval Base."

"Well looks like we need to find another way in." Lieutenant Paris said

The Student Council was about to start. Hiei was already present first as always as she is the President of the Student Council. The Doors opened and the rest of the Student Council came in including Nachi that was rather a bit quicker than normal. They all went to there seats and seated.

"Our 63rd student council meeting begins now." Hiei stated as everyone activated there view screens.

"So I-401 had reached San Diego." Vice president Myoukou said

"That is unfortunate. Now that the humans have a capable weapon that can destroy us what should we do president?" Secretary Heavy Cruiser Haguro asked.

"The vibration torpedo isn't our problem to deal with. As the student council we need to deal with I-401 that I will deal with as i'm the closest to San Diego." president Hiei responded.

"That brings us to our next item on the agenda." Vice president Myoukou said

"When I was doing my patrol I have received a strange signal that I had never encountered before. The signal was in a higher frequency that I could not jam." Nachi said to the group

"Could it be some sort of new communications technology that the humans are using." Secretary Heavy Cruiser Haguro asked.

"It is highly unlikely because the signal originated in space and had a format that was similar to a hailing message." Nachi explained

"Either way you should monitor it and give us any updates when this signal comes again." president Hiei ordered.

"Of course." Nachi respond
