Stardate 2387.04 — Vessel drifts through the Lyrae Nebula. Sensor arrays detect faint particulate resonance at bearing 217 mark 4. The aether envelope holds, though hull micro-fractures along the port nacelle suggest prior engagement with a gravimetric anomaly. Engineering reports reactor output steady at 94.7%. Forward observation confirms visual on a tertiary exoplanet — spectral class M, tidally locked, low albedo. No transponder signatures within effective range.
