[Your rank], we have an opportunity to solve one of the great mysteries of the past decade. Six years ago, the U.S.S. Rapier was on its first mission - a routine trip through the wormhole to survey several planets in the Gamma Quadrant. It entered the wormhole and was never heard from again. Starfleet believed the ship had been destroyed, but seven hours ago we picked up an emergency distress signal on a frequency that corresponds with the Rapier. We have to investigate. If you find the Rapier, try to bring her home. But I'd rather have her destroyed than in Dominion hands.
