Captains Log: July 17th 2156

Captain Tucker has illuded me for some time now, we have been in orbit of the Y-class planet for seven hours with no clue as to where he is.
***
The Defiant has just decloaked, Empress Hoshi Sato herself has contacted me! She inquired about Captain Tucker, a long time friend of hers, and i told her that I had destroyed him along with the shuttle when he tried to escape. She bought it for now. It gives us a few hours of searching. However she insisted on staying and assisting with repairs. I can only pray that Tucker has not been able to contact her, or else we will be dead within hours. The Paladin is a formidable warship, but it is no match for 24th century technology. I have made arangements for Empress Sato to dine with me tonight, perhaps I can discover more of what she knows of Captain Tucker.
