Scene: Shuttle NOGURA, Inside Nebula<br> | |||
The shuttle NOGURA had remained quietly hidden in the nebula for | |||
over 30 minutes, waiting for their pursuers to make a move. They | |||
hadn't. Jerran remained glued to the pilot's seat, ready for | |||
maneuvering. Jenn and Fobok sat at console's monitoring the Manark | |||
ship. | |||
The two officers had made some adjustments to the sensor array | |||
and had sent out a pulse of energy towards where they thought the ship | |||
might be. Most of the energy dissipated before leaving the nebula but | |||
enough made it to the target to determine its position. By closely | |||
the output they could tell where an 'object' blocked the wave. They | |||
assumed the object was the Manark ship and that its own sensors wouldn't | |||
be able to detect the energy wave. | |||
"Sir, if I may ask a question." | |||
"Sure Fobok. Go ahead." | |||
"We are in a Starfleet vessel and our representatives of | |||
Starfleet and the Federation. Presumably the occupants of the ship | |||
waiting outside the nebula are citizens of Manark V and are, therefore, | |||
Federation citizens as well?" | |||
"Thats true." | |||
"I fail to understand why we are hiding from them." | |||
"Don't you think, after all that has happened it is a little | |||
strange." | |||
"Perhaps. But isn't it more likely that they merely wish to meet | |||
with us, pass along a message or something of that nature?" | |||
"But that doesn't explain the energy weapon they powered up." | |||
Jerran joined the conversation. | |||
"That is true. However, by our fleeing the ship perhaps they | |||
assumed the occupants were not who they appear to be. In short by | |||
running from an ally for no reason they have a right to be suspicious of | |||
us. The fact that their weapon was designed to detain rather than | |||
destroy could be seen as evidence of that." | |||
"Its plausible." Zane didn't seem convinced. "But if they had | |||
to becoming after us for a reason. If they simply wanted to talk they | |||
could have done so without leaving the planet. If they had requested our | |||
wherabouts from the FEYNMAN Onta wuld have told us. No, my gut tells me | |||
there up to no good." | |||
"Well there no match for us." Jerran offered. | |||
"Suspicious or not I don't want to fire on a Federation ship. | |||
For all we know that is what they want us to do." | |||
"Well if they want us to be late for the mediation talks they're | |||
doing a good job. The longer we sit here the worse the situation gets." | |||
Jenn added | |||
"Agreed. So how do we get out of here without a fight?" | |||

NOGURA: Options? | |||
