Chapter 3/Romualn Attack

(Space, Romulan border)

A Romulan Warbird fires at the Helena hitting its forward shields making the bubble form around the Helena.

(Main Bridge, red alert)

The crew hangs onto their consoles and rails on the bridge.

Lt. Crusher: Shields are holding Captain.

Marcia looks at him.

Capt. Taylor: Mr. Crusher lock Phasers onto their primary power conduits and fire.

He nods at the order and looks at the console and presses the fire button.

(Space, Romulan Border)

The Helena's primary hull's Phaser starboard strip powers up and a beam lances out from it and hits the Romulan Warbird's shield bubble as it goes down.

(Main Bridge, red alert)

Lieutenant Crusher reports.

Lt. Crusher: Enemy vessel disabled Captain and their retreating back to Romulan Space.

Commander Martin looks at Captain Taylor.

Cmdr. Martin: That was too easy Captain.

She nods at him about that.

Capt. Taylor: I agree with you on that Commander why would they retreat so easily anyway Helm set course for Starbase 39-Sierra full Impulse speed and Maintain red alert if that Warbird pops up again I wanna know.

(Space, Federation-Romulan Border)

The USS Helena is at impulse speed along the border heading for 39-Sierra.

(Captain's Ready Room)

Captain Taylor is looking at the monitor at crew reports and ship status reports as well, when the doors chimed.

Capt. Taylor: Yes come in.

The doors opened and Commander Martin came into the room.

Cmdr. Martin: Still no sign of that Warbird but I've asked for a metaphasic scan of the region at all times till we get to 39-Sierra.

She nods at him and looks at the padd.

Capt. Taylor: Have Ensign Kaye maintain this course for the Starbase and I'll advice Starfleet of the situation.

He nods at her.

Cmdr. Martin: I couldn't help but notice that you're looking at Ship status reports and crew reports, may I ask y Marcia.

She rubs her eyes and stretches her arms.

Capt. Taylor: Yeah I've been looking at them and seeing who could of told the Romulans about the Vulcan transport but I can't put my finger on it at all I've been up and down forward and backwards with these reports and nothing tells me nothing.

Lt. Crusher: Captain Taylor message from Starfleet Captain

She presses a few buttons and the office of Commodore Martin appears on the screen.

Capt. Taylor: Commodore Martin so very good to see you again.

James smiles at that.
