It only took Nico a few minutes to analyze all of the relevant data and send Max a report on all of the possible locations that a direct route from this location would have taken the ships in the region and how far they could have made it, had they maintained the speeds that they were travelling at.
It all seemed relatively mundane at first, but then one of the ships caught his attention. The Warp Signature itself wasn't anything special, just a Warp 6 freighter, which was quite common in the region. It was the path that Nico had plotted that caught his attention.
According to the traces left behind, it came out of the Asteroid Field at less than warp speed and departed on a path that would take it into the star of an uninhabited system.
