Amentans (greys and one green and one blue) shadow T'Mir.

She explains to them the procedure she uses for dropping warp places - she examines internets for signs of plagiarism based on some data-mining most places won't be using themselves to root it out, picks a likely physicist or sometimes mathematician or engineer who is thus guilty, and transports the warp equations translated into local parlance somewhere they will find them. This planet is deliberately pastoral and quaint and agrarian except for exactly one giant city where all the science is done; the agrarians have to be airlifted by vehicles designed to look like giant local birds (so as not to disturb the ambience) if they need advanced medicine. There is a suitable plagiarist in the city.

Amentans think that's super weird but if it works for them. Was she aware of their planet before they contacted her?

"Yes, I passed it over last time I was here because the population's very small and I expected my time before being caught to be measured in planets, not months, but that's less of a concern now."

The green delightedly writes papers. One of the greys turns out to have an interest in that also, and helps her.

Awww.

Now they can all leap way the fuck over that way and start looking for more!

They do that!

T'Mir continues to send real survey data home sometimes.

This is how the Federation finds her, presumably. A Starfleet ship drops out of warp nearby. She sighs.

Amentan ship, which is on the other side of this planet looking at the architecture, scoots over.

She is hailed. The Amentan ship is not brought into the conversation until five minutes later.

"This is First Officer Chen of the USS Petrov," says the face on the screen, when they answer the hail, "to whom am I speaking?"

"This is Galactic Affairs Officer Kalan of the Anitami survey ship Season," a woman with blue hair says in English. 

"Pleased to meet you," says Chen. "May I ask how you came to be associated with the Prometheus?"

"Our people learned of her activities and decided to extend operations support and security. We've been travelling with her for survey operations for the past two Federation standard months."

"Are you aware that she has violated Federation law?"

"We're aware that her activities violate the Federation prohibition on contact with pre-warp societies."

"Is yours among the societies to which she provided warp?"

"We did not have that fortune."

"How did you learn about her activities?"

"I'm afraid I don't know, personally, under what circumstances contact was established."

"Where is your planet?"

"We have seven. I can send you coordinates."

"I'd appreciate that."

Coordinates.

"Thank you. We'd like to bring Captain Isabella back to Federation space now but we'll be sure to visit to clarify the situation for your government."

"Captain Isabella has honorary Anitami citizenship and will be returning with us."
