Detecting a massive warp signature on long range sensors the Charon moves to investigate and discovers the source to be a planet moving at warp 1.5. Amazed by the scene the Commodore decides to have the Charon move in for a closer look. As the Charon moves into an orbital pattern an optical transmission from the planet is detected.

After using the deflector dish to receive the transmission they discover that the planet is inhabited by a species called the ‘Lyrillians.’ The head of Lyrillians identifies himself as the Grand Proctor Ohoni. The grand proctor asks if the ‘teachers’ sent the Charon to their planet. Shiarrael informs him that they were not sent by the ‘teachers’ and the grand proctor invites the crew to the planet for a face to face meeting. The commodore agrees to the request. However, something doesn’t feel right about the situation. Commander Ceer mentions the use of a primitive form of optical communication. ‘How can a species advanced enough to move a planet at warp not have subspace communication available?’

Are the Lyrillians hiding something from the crew of the Charon and who are these ‘teachers’ the grand proctor mentioned?
