Rhomboid Dronegar 006

A small, unidentified vessel that emits a terse Mayday transmission, forcing the USS Enterprise to divert course and prioritize a humanitarian response. Its signal registers as urgent, fragmented, and lacking clear identifying information, creating operational ambiguity and moral pressure aboard the Enterprise. The vessel functions narratively as an instigator of conflict between duty and command priorities, converting a single distress call into a pivotal decision point for senior officers.
