Setting: USS HATHOR, Corridor
The young woman had wandered the corridors of the HATHOR for the last 25 minutes or so… which meant that she had done the entire length of the small Defiant-Class ship several times. The ANUBIS' CO had taken to this unusual behaviour to think things through instead of just sitting in the barely lit command deck. As Rikar walked by the quarters that had been occupied by the CSciO, the redhead Captain recalled the conversation the two of them had shared while on route to P338451.
==========
"An M-Class planet orbiting a Class 4 red giant… solar year is slightly longer than that of EARTH at 414 days… like EARTH though P338451 possesses a single geo-inert moon," the Shillian CSciO reported from her station as the HATHOR proceeded towards the planet in question under the security of its cloaking device.
"You know," the redheaded CO chuckled, "there has to be a better name than P338451," the ANUBIS' CO offered in a light-hearted tone… the general atmosphere of this undercover mission having been relaxed from the start.
"Given the remote location of the system from any trade routes and that it is located on the far side of Tholian space the numerical planetary designation was the only one available at this time. I mean there is just so much that our deep space probes can tell us, especially when considering that the probe that was sent to that sector stopped transmitting only seconds after it had entered orbit. Based on the data that was obtained though it is unlikely that the probe was shut down or otherwise destroyed by some planetary weapon and nothing seemed to point to some sort of natural phenomenon that could have caused the probe to suddenly malfunction."

Rikar allowed an insecure smile to grace her lips for a brief moment as the redhead's fingers hesitantly traced the edge of the doorframe. The Shillian had always been a unique character and although the CSciO had managed to test everyone's patience on numerous occasions with her excessively detailed explanations the woman's current absence had been sorely felt. All that the Captain could do was hope that the Shillian's unique racial abilities had enabled her to survive all this time in the inhospitable environment of P338451.
"Hold on Maya…" the CO whispered to no one in particular. "I'll find a way to get you and everyone else back safely.
