A small scout/survey class ship transitions from F space to relativistic space in a brief flash of visible energies. The ship begins a series of course changes to offset it’s self from its original course and point of entry. The ship comes to a full stop and the in system drive is turned off. The bridge officers begin to ask their subordinates for initial reports on the local solar system’s technological level. The initial reports all show no signs of technological “noise” or developments. These reports bring a lessening of the initial tension on the bridge. The ship’s commander orders the engineering section to begin making initial preparations to camouflage the ship. This is ultimately a futile activity because the inhabitants of the solar system are not observing the skies for alien presences and have not yet developed any technologies beyond thrusting spears made of barely sharpened saplings. They have only recently formed the concept of “God(s)” and would have believed it an omen of the god’s displeasure had it been noticed.
