Description
Captains Log: Supplemental"It`s been six hours into our patrol of the Neutral Zone, after first stopping by Outpost 225. Outpost Commander Faggella reported that the long-range sensors have detected increased Romulan activity as well as some uninhabited planets that reside within the Neutral Zone appearing to be breaking up. The logs from The U.S.S. Repulse have confirmed this and according to Captain Ronstons reports he has pushed back several Romulan patrols that have strayed close to our side of the Neutral Zone. We are heading to the Repulses last position to investigate unusually heavy subspace interference which they have also detected. Tactical officer Zula has just picked up a distress signal while short range sensors have spotted a Romulan science vessel that is stopped in space and appears to be drifting. We`re going to attempt a rescue/recovery. If we can`t restore power to the ship, We`ll then drop off the personnel to the nearest outpost."
----------------------------------------------------
"Commander Romulan vessel, I`m Captain Michael Ford of the Federation Starship Constellation. You`re drifting into Federation Space do you require assistance?" He announces.
"No response Captain I am only picking up the distress beacon that is on automatic" Azamilla Zula reports.
"Keep trying Lieutenant at regular intervals. Mr. Stryker takes us alongside right standard rudder ahead one third" He orders.
"Aye sir Right standard rudder" The Ops officer complies as the Galaxy class starship moves next to the crippled Romulan ship.
"She looks like she`s been in a firefight and lost" D`Jetta Cam`Ra, the Andorian first officer notices.
"I see what you mean Number One. Miss Zula activate a tractor beam" He orders
"Aye sir" the Deltan tactical officer complies as the tractor beam from the Constellation stabilizes the drifting science vessel.
"T`Len, scan the vessel. What`s the damage?" Ford orders.The Vulcan science officer scans the drifting ship "All power plants are drained. Warp drive is offline. Impulse, Auxillary and life support are operating at an extremely low power level. One third of the ships hull is damaged and uninhabitable." T`Len reports.
"That's incredible. Are there any survivors T Len?" Ford inquires. "Scanning Captain. Subspace interference is making scanning of the interior difficult. However, I am attempting to compensate". The Vulcan says, then makes the quick adjustment and continues, "There are two Romulans alive in a crew of eighty" she reports.
"Captain! Sensors have just detected two Romulan energy signatures!" Zula practically shouts.
"On screen Lieutenant" Ford orders calmly.
The screen shows two Romulan D`Deridex class Warbirds de-cloaking off the Constellations bow.
"Red alert! Shields up phasers and quantum torpedoes on stand-by" Michael Ford orders.
"Captain the Warbirds have armed their disruptors. We are being hailed". The Deltan reports.
"Open a channel Lieutenant". He orders
The screen shows a rather muscular and slightly busty female Romulan commander. She has a very dominating presence and looks like a seasoned warrior."I am Commander Makayla of the Imperial Romulan Warbird Bloodfang, To whom am I addressing?" She says with authority.
"I `m Captain Michael Ford of the Federation Starship Constellation. Commander you`re dangerously close to crossing into Federation space. I suggest you stand down and remain on your side of the Neutral Zone"
Makayla arches her eyebrow. "Well Captain Ford, we are responding to a distress signal from the science vessel Cuirass and now you are here. Am I to assume you have nothing to do with the Cuirass` present condition or is this just a coincedence?"
"I assure you Commander the Constellation had nothing to do with the Cuirass` present condition. In fact we responded to their distress signal as well. She has no power and there two survivors aboard" Ford responds.
"So I see. You are attempting a rescue yet you have your shields up and weapons drawn. Ordinarily, I would have gladly accepted such a challenge but being that is indeed a rescue and recovery, I will forgo that for now. However, my patience does have it`s limits. I must insist you permit us entry, only so we will beam the casualties aboard the Bloodfang, scuttle the Cuirass and be on our way. Your call Captain" She says with a sly almost wicked grin.
"She is not bluffing Captain. Although her mind is well disciplined I sense her emotions and there is no deceit" Maia Jupiter the Betazoid Counsellor advises.
What will Captain Ford and the Constellation do now?
