Pluto-Charon system

Narada ''hangs silently above both Pluto and Charon, sitting at the barycenter of the system. The dwarf planet and its moon both seem to be revolving around the ship, accompanied by small specks that are the only visible indications of the smaller moons Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. The drill of the giant ship has already been retracted. Nero, who just woke up, arrives on the bridge.''

First Officer: "Sir, the ship that investigated our arrival has left, and we have obtained most of the materials we need to produce more red matter. However, there was not enough unbihexium. There is another location that may have enough to mine, a moon of Neptune called Triton."

Nero: "Well, what are we waiting for? Why have we been waiting here for so long? We retracted the drill hours ago!"

The Narada, made sentient by the computer virus it caught on Niron, chimes in.

Narada: "I have not yet warped to Triton because I have picked up a distress signal emanating from there. But this signal is coming from a truly ancient ship. It is a sleeper ship, with no FTL drive, with its crew frozen on board after their colony was destroyed in an accident. My analysis of the signal also indicates that it is a Federation vessel..."

Nero: "FEDERATION!?!?!? What the hell are they doing here.... Wait, it is an ancient sleeper ship with an ancient crew, you say? This... if that ship is what I think it is.... Narada, what is the name of the ship?"

Narada: "It is called the SS Botany Bay."

Nero: "So it is as I suspected... set course for Triton immediately and make contact with that crew. And tell the crew to be on guard. These guys might have a trick up their sleeves. Also, do not use warp. It will take us much longer to make the orbital corrections to get to Triton via sublight drive, but I need to make sure we are prepared for this. Also, other navies might detect our warp signature and investigate like last time, and I want no other parties involved while I am dealing with the crew of the Botany Bay..."

Leaving the barycenter of the Pluto-Charon system, Narada ''activates its gigantic main propulsion system and burns prograde around Pluto, making two expanding orbits before using a gravity slingshot from Charon to put it on a Plutonian escape orbit. Once out of the system, the main drive burns constantly, pushing the ship at 0.975c towards Neptune, which is located relatively close to Pluto at this moment ofr its orbit. Soon, the Narada burns retrograde around the Sun to slow it down and shift its heliocentric orbit just enough to make a rendezvous with Neptune.''
