==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Basic Questions== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2260.342 | |||
Scene: Freighter Hold | |||
<old> | |||
As the heavy cargo doors clanked open he turned to see the leader of the mission walk in. “Jolantru.” | |||
“I thought you might like to see this.” The man said as he walked over to the small view port. | |||
Sahen joined him and stared out the window. He saw nothing but stars. “I don’t understand.” He finally said. | |||
“We just left Romulan space. I thought you might like to see freedom.” | |||
<new> | |||
He wasn’t sure how long he had stood there staring out at the stars. They had looked the same as they always had but the fact that this time the view was from the vantage point of freedom was overwhelming. Eventually realizing he was alone he decided to venture off through the ship. There was no way he was going back into the crate and with his new found sense of emancipation he decided it was time to seek more information. | |||
The living areas of the ship were not overly large so it did not take him long to find the captain and his two crew. They were sitting down to their mid day meal in the small kitchen. When they saw him stop at the entrance way one of them jumped up. “Come in doctor! Come in!” He scurried around to the small cook top and filled a bowl of some sort of stew. It a pleasant smell and he had not eaten for several days so he was happy to have it. | |||
When he had finished the second bowl he leaned back in his chair and addressed the captain. “What race are you.” | |||
“We are Kobheerians.” He said proudly. | |||
“I don’t believe I have heard of this race. Are you part of the Empire?” | |||
“No we are close enough to have traded with the outlying worlds for decades. But far enough away that we retain our neutrality.” | |||
Sahen nodded at the idea. “How is it that I am on your ship?” | |||
The captain shrugged. “We are traders and were hired to take you to Arcturus. Quietly.” | |||
Arcturus, Sahen thought. He had heard of that world. It was a choice that seemed to make sense. He was surprised by how much more comfortable he felt knowing his destination. “And when we arrive at Arcturus what will happen to me?” | |||
“Someone is to meet us, I do not know who. You are to go with them.” He looked at Sahen and smiled. “Don’t worry you are not the first Romulan we have smuggled across the border.” | |||
Respectfully, | |||
Andy | |||
