Sarah's gaze snapped to the young officer. "What kind of signal?"
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the message flashed on the viewscreen:
The young ensign worked his console, and a moment later, a planet appeared on the viewscreen. "It's coming from CP 63, sir."
"... cascade failure... uncontained... entity escaped...recommend evacuation of sector..." Sarah's gaze snapped to the young officer
The implications were too terrible to contemplate. Sarah knew she had to get her crew out of there, and fast.
Sarah made her decision. "Alright, let's proceed with caution. We'll try to gather more information before making a decision."

The away team, consisting of Sarah, her first officer, Lieutenant Michael Chen, and a security detail, beamed down to the planet's surface. They approached the facility with caution, finding the entrance damaged and partially destroyed.
