Establishing Shot: A fleet of flying saucers in space. The camera sweeps over the vast fleet to the lead vessel.
Setting: The bridge of the lead vessel is dark, with bright buttons and a bright display com.
Science Officer: Based on spectroscopic readings, the asteroids around this star can be used to refuel and to take on elements to use to make replacement parts. But, there are two points where we should be careful.
Science Officer: Firstly, it looks like the third planet from the star is host to a technological species. I'm seeing indications of satellites. Best to be avoided. Secondly... there's a lot of acid around.
