USS Babylon is a Grissom-class surveyor assigned to Task Force 17 under the command of Captain Sanjiv Anand. Ostensibly intended for deep space mapping assignments, the Babylon’s primary mission is to follow up on reports of extinct civilizations on the edge of Federation space and determine if further study of these locations would be safe and ethical.
The blue dusk ran between the streets; my love was winged within my mind;
It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.
To-day was past and dead for me for from to-day my feet had run

Ixabi was first through the door and went straight to the transporter controls. With a nod from Anand, she locked onto the Hamsarai trio and beamed them over. Even as they were still shimmering into solid form, she could see that they were about her height while standing up on their four hind [...]

Ixabi leaned away from the operations console and rubbed her eyes with a weary sigh. Her brain was outright refusing to read the Starfleet report on the Hamsarai that she’d covertly opened on her screen. Maybe nineteen times was enough? Maybe staying up late to re-re-re-read it last night was [...]
