Scene: Ensign Jerran's Quarters<br>
Jerran laughed as he set his glass down on the coffee table and said to
Ensign Jennifer Cartwright, "You can't be serious!"
She smiled at him and said, "I am serious! I think that the Constitution
Refit class was the best ship to come out of the 23rd century, even
better than the Excelsior class."
Jerran leaned back on the chair he was sitting in and said, "I must admit
that the Excelsior did have some glaring flaws when it first came out..."
"Like the whole idea of transwarp drive," Cartwright interrupted with a
smile.
He smiled and nodded saying, "Yes, like transwarp drive. But, a lot of
useful concepts came out of transwarp drive that are still in use today.
By the Prophets, if it wasn't for transwarp drive, we probably wouldn't
have the D-Drive nowadays."
She chuckled and said, "It was still a flop. The constitution was a much
better ship."
"Yes, the Excelsior was a flop, and so were a few other ships which came
after her, but once they refitted the Excelsior design and built the
Enterprise-B, those problems were all fixed."
"Yeah," said Cartwright, "Like the pitifully slow impulse engines the
Excelsior had."
"And then they added the extra set of impulse engines on the saucer
section, increasing the performance by a hundred and fifty percent,"
Jerran said as he took their plates over to the disposal unit.
While he was doing that, Jennifer got up and walked over to the small
table where the Romulan freighter model was sitting. "What's this,
Terri? I don't think I've ever seen one like it before."
He smiled and walked over to stand beside her. "Ah, now. This is from a
Romulan legend that I heard once. It's a Vas Ocalam class freighter
named the Ja'telaih.
"About a hundred and twenty years ago, it was supposed to have been the
flagship of the Rihannsu Ael'Arrhai, the Romulan Merchant Fleet. Legend
has it that her captain, Stefanh tr'Khnialmnae, disappeared for a short time
during an internal struggle the Empire was having in which its Praetor
was almost assassinated. No one really knows what his involvement was in
the conspiracy, but shortly after this event, he returned to his ship
rather the worse for wear, as the legend goes, and he and his crew went
off into the frontier systems between Romulan and Federation territory,
but not before making a quick stop to one of the other Romulan worlds to
pick up his wife."
Cartwright was intrigued and said, "What happened after that?"
"Well, Stefanh and his crew were being hunted by the Romulan navy by
then, and they had to find a way to survive and keep the ship in top
condition, so they resorted to piracy. The Ja'telaih became one of the
most infamous pirate ships of the 23rd and 24th centuries."
"Well, what happened to the Ja'telaih and her crew?"
"No one really knows," Jerran said. "There have been no solid reports of
its destruction. But, there have been a few acts of piracy which have
happened off and on over the past century which have been attributed to
the Ja'telaih. As for Captain Stefanh, legend says that he lives still
today."
"That would make him how old, though?"
"Around 150, I'd guess. He was only 30 when he got the captain's chair of
the Ja'telaih, which is a very young age for both Romulans and Vulcans.
It's not uncommon for those in either species to live to upwards of 190
years old."
"So he could still be alive?" she said wide eyed.
"Yes, it's not entirely inconcievable. But, of course, most of the
stories are just legend, and even though they may be based in some truth,
it doesn't necessarily mean that it is all truth. Like for instance, one
of the rumors I heard once said that it was the Ja'telaih which destroyed
the Klingon outpost on Narendra III, the same outpost where the
Enterprise-C was destroyed. That seems highly unlikely seeing as though
most legitimate accounts say that it was a trio of Romulan warbirds which
took out the colony."
Jennifer smiled at him and said, "That's an amazing story, Terri. Where'd
you hear it from?"
"Over the computer nets. Being the son of a Vulcan ambassador allows me
access to some of the more interesting areas," he said with a smile.
He glanced over at her and noticed that as he had been talking, she had
been moving ever closer to him. They were almost touching by this time
when he turned quickly and walked swiftly to the door.
She was startled by his swift movement and said, "Is there something
wrong, Terri?" moving over towards the door.
"Oh, nothing's wrong," he said, opening the door for her. "It's just
that it is getting awfully late, and I'm sure we both have duties to
perform early tomorrow morning. The new parts for the NOGURA are supposed
to be coming in from EPSILON, and I want to get on completing the repairs
right away."
She nodded to him and said, trying hard to hide her disappointment, "Oh,
I see. I guess I'll let you get some rest. See you in the morning, then?"
He smiled, trying to hide his embarrasment and said, "Yes, I'm sure of
it. Bright and early in the main shuttlebay."
She nodded and walked off, not hearring Jerran's sigh of relief as the
door to his quarters closed.
