Description
We have discovered an alien ship adrift among the asteroids surrounding …. It is not responding to our hailing signals. Whether this is due to it being unable to interpret our signal, or perhaps some other reason, we do not know.
Science Officer … recommends that a construction ship be dispatched to tow this stricken vessel out of the debris field. If left untouched, there is a risk the alien ship may be crushed by the asteroids.
A Special Project has been issued to rescue and investigate the ship.
