...and leaned back in his chair. A puzzled look came over his face, that was very visible to Boeckle.

A star system just appearing? That's not right...something must be wrong with the sensors...

Forge set down that data pad, and wheeled in his chair to another console. Boeckle of course new that he was performing a quick diagnostic and waited patiently for him to tell him what it's results were.

"Hmmmmmm.....nothing. Nothing at all, all the systems are fine, in fact, sensors are better then fine, they are working at peak performance."

Forge scratched his head, and wheeled back to his original location. He picked up the other data pad and examined the information on that one.

"This one, I might be able to help you with. Any number of things could be happening that would make this station come back to life. We all know that Cybertron is 'back in action' so to speak, so it is feasibly possible that they have just decided to reinstate any stations that are in working capability. Of course, if that was true, we would have gotten some kind of communication from them. The other possibility is that it's a simple malfunction, most of the dormant stations around have at least some sort of emergency power running, to atleast provide some way for inter-steller ships to detect them. And though it isn't likely that this would happen, it could be possible that some how, power got routed to communications, and that's how we got our little message..."

Forge leaned back once again, pondering if what he said was really as plausible as he had made it sound.

"In any case, I think we should advise Operations to send out explorer class vessels to investigate each situation...especially that star system. Something like that should just not happen....and if it did, we need to know why."
