[MISSION START] JP: Rahman, Blake, and DeVeau: To Boldly Go… (Part 4)
((Bridge, USS Venture, Later…))
::When she awoke, the first thing Roshanara felt was the severe headache that descended upon her like an avalanche of gorged tribbles. She pressed her forehead and groaned as she felt the bump she’d received from hitting the bridge railing.::
::She looked around to see the condition of the other bridge crewmembers.::
Rahman: Everyone all right?
DeVeau: Alive, so that’s a good thing.
::Alora picked herself up from the floor where she’d been flung and tested her legs. All in one piece thus far.::
King/Pandora/Jolara/Tuk: RESPONSE
Rahman: King, Pandora, see if you two can pinpoint where we are.
King/Pandora: RESPONSE
::The alarms had subsided now. Just the familiar beeps and whistles of the old bridge consoles filled the air, along with a faint voice. Some sort of repeating message.::
Audio: ...between the adjacent territorial boundaries of the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets, there is established a neutral zone, seven point five parcecs in width in the horizontal galactic plane and to the galactic boundaries in the vertical galactic plane.
::The Neutral Zone? Between the Klingons and the Federation? What? It was no doubt some part of the museum tour’s presentation.::
Audio: Warning! This is a restricted area by order of Starfleet Command, effective stardate 3199.5. Per the terms of the Treaty of Organia, between the adjacent territorial boundaries of the Klingon Empire and the United...
Rahman: Someone turn off the damn recording!
::Roshanara looked back at Blake, who was already on it.::
Blake: Unless there’s a glitch somewhere in the ship’s computer, that’s not us, Captain.
Rahman: What?
::The captain took a step closer to Blake.::
Rahman: Origin?
Blake: Uh . . .
::If she’d been trained to make heads or tails of ancient ships, she probably would have been able to give an exact location, but general logic and whatever she remembered from the crash course Core had all but forced her to go through would have to do.::
Blake: It looks like it’s coming from a beacon.
::Roshanara looked back towards King and Pandora at the front.
Rahman: I need to know where we are, now.
King/Pandora: RESPONSE
::Oh no.::
::Alora tapped at the console, wishing she had the quicker technology of the Invicta.::
DeVeau: Three ships are approaching.
Rahman: Affiliation?
DeVeau: They look to be Klingon.
::Klingons… in a time when there was a neutral zone between them and the Federation.::
::Not good.::
::There was the briefest of a pause, then Alora turned a wide eyed expression to Rahman.::
DeVeau: They’re on an intercept course, weapons at the ready...
::The captain quickly got back into her chair.::
Rahman: Helm, evasive maneuvers. Find us somewhere to hide. A nebula, a gas giant. Anything period.
King: RESPONSE
::She tried calling Engineering for a damage report, but the comms were out.::
Rahman: Tuk, Pandora, get down to Engineering and make sure everything’s all right. Give them a hand if you have to.
Tuk: RESPONSE
Pandora: RESPONSE
::As the Bolian and android headed to the turbolift, the captain gestured for Jolara to take the navigator's bridge station up front next to King.::
Rahman: Jolara, take tactical and navigation. Shields up, red alert!
Jolara: RESPONSE
Rahman: What weapon systems do we have active?
Jolara: RESPONSE
::Between the helm and navigation consoles, the bright red siren began to flash, but her eyes were locked only on the three Klingon battle cruisers headed their way.::
