Operation Boldly Go
Operation Boldly Go is a pan-human operation to explore the centre of the universe and in particular to find the source of some transmissions detected on an earlier journey in that direction.
A joint mission to investigate possible alien transmissions originating some some 2HY (around 2,500 lightyears) away was despatched on new years day 3203.
As the ships approach the operational area they have been monitoring the transmissions when they drop out of hyperspace for navigational purposes, and have been sending back interim reports indicating all is well with them so far.
The original transmissions clearly were of a broadcast nature and as we know the first transmission recorded in human space were at least 2,500 years old, possibly much older at the time they were positively verified.
As the Boldly Go mission has closed the range the composition of the transmissions have gradually changed and their intensity reduced. At the last report the fleet was 0.5 Hy from the alien civilisation (around 700 year old transmissions).
The transmissions are currently harder to detect and mostly in the microwave frequency range, indicating the use of tight beams for communications. Wide band broadcast transmissions pretty much died out about 1,500 light years out.
Whatever is awaiting them, it was certainly a technological civilisation 700 years ago.
