“No, sir,” Jessica told him.

“Captain, I’m looking at multiple signals here,” Lieutenant Yosef announced, “civilian comm, navigation, entertainment broadcasts. I’m also picking up transmissions on Jung frequencies.”

“Ship-to-ship?” Nathan wondered.

“No, sir. I’m pretty sure they’re automated navigational transponders.”

“Then we can assume that it’s a Jung-controlled system,” Jessica stated.

“According to Fleet intel, they all are, except Sol,” Nathan reminded her.

“Fleet’s intel on the influence of the Jung is based mostly on limited signals intelligence, sir. They had only a dozen or so FTL recon flights prior to our departure. 72 Herculis has never been reconnoitered.”

“Think we should check it out?” Nathan asked his security chief.

“We should at least send the Falcon on a coast-through,” Jessica suggested. “If we’re lucky, there might even be a Jung ship or two in port there.”

“If we’re lucky, there won’t be,” Nathan commented.

“Captain, Fleet has only seen eight actual Jung warships to date, not including the gunboats that jumped us in the Oort. Three of those were the same design. Knowing how spread out their ships actually are could be extremely valuable information. Don’t forget: we still don’t know exactly where the Jung homeworld is located.”
