The Baffin entered into orbit over the far side of the Moon. Lieutenant Daniela Hernandez sighed in relief. The ship would not have been detected by anyone on Earth. The approach from warp was from behind the Moon. She knew that observing a mid to late 20th Century Earth wouldn't help them in their dilemma, but the crew had to do something.
“Prepare to launch the probes,” Commander Emmerson ordered.
“Aye, Commander,” Hernandez said.
The Baffin launched the probes, disguised as sattelites typical of the era.

“So far, Earth seems to be identical. We would have do a deeper scan,” Hernandez reported.
“Then you know what to do.”
“Aye commander.”
