	"Yes sir," Taylor say sand turning back to his console he begin typing a series of commands into the panel.  "Starting normal Sensor sweep of area, tying in on same frequency a Tachyon pulse into scans.  There.  Now to make a tactical evaluation and read out."  Taylor begins to scan the system.  Several readouts appear on the console.  "Hmm.."  The screen shows two asteroid belts in this system and one medium sized nebula.  Several J and N class planets as well as on other uninhabited planet.  "Some of these J class planets have several moons.  That could be an advantage." Taylor says to himself.  
	In the entire system there are six stars, two small white stars one middle sized white star, and three blue dwarfs.  The readout also shows that there is a class two pulsar in the system.

	Taylor turns to the Captain to make his report.  "Sir, on the Tactical readout I have assembled I have the following report:  There is and asteroid belt 1 light year away, as well as several J class planets with several moons in the system.  These two objects could prove to be a tactical advantage.  There is one other uninhabited M class planet in the system.  The readout shows a class two pulsar in the system I recommend we stay as far away from that as posssible.
I aslo show nebula in the system 2light ye. . ." just then Taylor is cut off in the middle of his sentance by an annoying beeping.  He swivels his chair to see what is occuring.  He looks down at his console and is shocked by what he sees.  He quickly truns to the captain.

	"Sir, the Tachyon scan has found one Romulan Scout ship and one Romulan Warbird, Bearing 421 mark 386.  They are seven light years away.  They don't appear to realize that we know they are here.  Their course has unchanged.  They are moving at 1/4 impulse power.  Sir, I'm sure they know we are here.  Of course they don't know that we know they are out there.  Sir I am puzzled though, it is very rare to see a Romulan Scout ship around here especially being escorted by a warbird.  Um, your orders Captain."
