We send the flyer to the captains quarters to watch the ship to see if it is indeed getting closer. We will ask the ships computer if it can communicate with the other ship and find out what its business is. We will ask the computer if it is coming closer can it take evasive maneuvers and try to keep the other ship away from us.
We will ask the computer is he can give us a better idea of the type of ship it is. Is it a fighter ship with limited crew or a large cruiser ship with a lot of crew? We will ask the computer if it can tell us how many life forms are aboard the unknown ship that is headed our way. We also ask the computer what kind of cargo does it broadcast it is carrying?
