One ship, three unanswered observations, and no final destination but the one you choose.
Monday, 08:10, shipboard time. The suspended-animation berth opens beneath a low ceiling of warm light. Beyond the recovery bay, the research vessel Meridian completes its post-transition checks. Its experimental intergalactic passage is over; the display beside your berth lists propulsion, life support, and communications as operational. The other five human berths are entering recovery.
Your command interface is within reach. Three observation summaries await review: a structured electromagnetic signal, a potentially promising planetary system, and an astronomical measurement outside the initial model's predictions. The shipboard AI has opened your private channel.

Good morning, Captain. Meridian is operational; the other five crew members are beginning recovery. We have a structured signal, a promising planetary system, and an astronomical measurement our initial model does not explain—which would you like to examine first?
