==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Don't Press Your Luck== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2261.018 | |||
Scene: Bridge, USS HOOD | |||
“Hail them!” Commander Mark Compass ordered as he stared out at the Romulan warship pictured on HOOD’s main viewscreen. | |||
[I am Commander Val of the Romulan warbird TALON.] | |||
“Commander would you mind explaining what you and your soldiers are doing in Federation space. Strike that, you can explain after you’ve beamed up your troops and pointed your ships back towards Romulan space.” Mark was amazed he had said it all without stuttering, he was so scared. | |||
Commander Val shook his head slowly and offered Compass a disappointed smile. [I’m afraid it is you who are in transgression commander. Perhaps you could explain why you are in Romulan space, or Klingon space, or Orion space or Nausican space. Shall I go on? There are, at last count eight major polities that lay claim to this miserable excuse for a planet. None of them of course recognize any of the others. I trust you understand my point?] | |||
“What I understand Commander is that HOOD is responding to a distress call, we were preparing to beam our party up when you dropped troops into a civilian spaceport and began shooting up the place. Regardless of who lay claims to what I would hope you would agree that there is a volatile situation in the making. I trust Romulus is not looking to go to war.” He was a frakkin Lieutenant Commander his mind kept screaming at him he wasn’t supposed to be threatened war. | |||
“We too are on a mission of mercy. One of our nationals was stolen from us. It is imperative we retrieve him. Once that is complete we will depart, but not before. We are not looking to start a war. Today.” | |||
“That’s is good to hear and I will relay your peaceful intentions to my government. But know this commander, if any of my people are so much as scratched things will escalate in this system.” | |||
“You’re statements are very amusing commander. I had heard that humans possessed a strange sense of humour. I see it is true. You should perhaps take the time to count the ships under my command.” | |||
“Commander Tal. I very much doubt that you’ve been this close to a ship like HOOD but I am completely sure you do not want to see her capabilities up close. Now then, you have two minutes to withdraw your troops from the space port or I will fire into your ship. HOOD out.” Mark turned immediately to Lieutenant Steering, “Ok lets get our people out of there before I have to make good on my threat.” | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Well this has turned out pretty good! ;-) | |||
Respectfully, | |||
