==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: I Had It ALL== | |||
===by Steve Apple=== | |||
SD: 2261.047 | |||
Scene: TSS-Constellation Bridge | |||
“Captain to Engineering.” Veld said punching the comm. button on his chair in frustration. | |||
[Byrne here Captain.] | |||
“If that Tholian power supply isn’t installed yet I’ll have you hanging from one of the Nacelles by what’s left of your balls.” | |||
[It’s installed sir, but its configuration is slightly different from the one we obtained in our own universe, so I’m running a second test.] | |||
“Five minutes Mr. Byrne or I’ll make good on my threat. Veld out.” He said then turned to his first officer. “Anna, I can’t wait to see the look on that pompous ass Steele’s face when I successfully complete the mission he should have had.” | |||
“It’s been a risky and costly operation Jack. Our dilithum chamber was severely damaged when we employed that Tholian device the first time, not to mention the total destruction of its power supply. You were lucky we were able to barter with those Nausicaan thugs for a replacement.” | |||
“Minor setbacks my dear.” Veld said. “When we return to Earth and present the Sovereign Prime with new territory to conquer I will be rewarded with a province of my own. With that kind of wealth and power I will write my own destiny. Maybe I’ll have Steele castrated and force him to sing at my parties, an amusement for my guests.” | |||
“Until we reach Earth we should use caution.” Frost replied. “Our weapon systems are still offline and if Steele shows up what will you fight him with a barrage of laser fire.” | |||
“As far as that buffoon knows we are on the other side of the quadrant patrolling the Bajoran system not stealing his thunder.” Veld smiled at Steele’s incompetence. | |||
[Engineering to Bridge] | |||
“Are we ready to go home Mr. Byrne, or will you be a Nacelle ornament?” Veld asked in a silky voice. | |||
[We’re ready sir,] Byrne said with an audible gulp. | |||
“Very good, now Miss Adeyemon, engage.” Veld said. | |||
The Helmsman pushed the button to activate the Multiverse drive and prayed. This device had caused the ships dilithium matrix to almost completely burn out the last time they activated it. The engineers had said the Captain was a fool to steal the device without kidnapping that scientist who had backward engineered its function and built the original starship interface. Those views ceased to matter as time and space seemed to fold in upon itself and for a second Adeyemon had no thoughts at all. | |||
“Explosions in the Engineering section.” Frost yelled as the ship came through the anomaly. “Fire control systems are offline; they’re having power failure in all primary systems down there.” | |||
“Vent the hull in Engineering.” Veld said. | |||
“Sir?” Frost questioned. | |||
“You heard me Commander. I need those fires out now. I can live without the engineers not the engines. Now do it.” | |||
“Yes sir.” Frost said. “Life support cut, beginning venting process now.” | |||
“Sensors back online sir.” The navigator Howden interrupted. “Sir we are picking up another Heavy Destroyer in the area. It’s the HOOD sir.” | |||
