Enterprise is hiding on the limb of a gas giant near the Klingon homeworld.

''Captain's Log Stardate 5465.3. The Enterprise is behind the limb of a planet near Kronos as the entire Klingon home battlegroup is defending it, I'm awaiting the reports from both Commander Tyson and Lieutenant Larson hopefully those two can come up with an idea or we'll have to head back to Federation held Space before we're detected.''

In her ready room Captain Martin is looking out of her window when the doors chimed.

The doors open and K'hsia enters with two security guards escort him in.

You've asked to see me Captain? K'hsia says as he looks at her.

She turns to him and the two guards.

Wait outside the doors Captain Martin says as she looks at them.

They nod and exit the ready room.

I assume we've reached my world? K'hsia says as he looks at her.

She sits in the chair behind the desk.

Yeah we have but we've encountered an issue the Kronos home fleet is between us and the planet, I have two of my officers planning to get by them Captain Martin says as she looks at him.
