(I’ll Follow You) Into the Dark

Chapter Two

“Yellow alert!”  Captain Hunter planted her feet as if bracing
for impact.  Her hand unconsciously
tightened around the phaser strapped to her hip.  Her eyes narrowed at the shadowy ship slowly
taking form on the monitor.  “Load
torpedoes and lock phasers.  Lieutenant
Woods, what do your scans indicate?  Is
that an enemy vessel?”

The slender woman at the
security console shook her head.
“There’s too much interference.  I
can’t get a good reading.”  She paused
her report as new data crossed her screen.
“It’s clearing the distortion now…. Definitely a Kongeda starship, sir.”

Anya’s tension visibly
eased.  She resumed her seat and waited
expectantly for further information.  

“She looks like she’s seen
battle,” Indra observed, noting the scorch marks on the mystery ship’s battered
exterior.

“I’m picking up an emergency
distress call,” Woods said.  She routed
the audio to the bridge speakers.

“Mayday mayday mayday. This is Captain Kane of the KSS Arkadia, calling
any Kongeda starship.  We have been
attacked by Maunon warships and have taken heavy damage.  Life support is failing.  Request immediate assistance.  Mayday mayday mayday….”  

The lieutenant shut off
the automated loop.  “Scans confirm that
the vessel has sustained significant damage to her hull starboard nacelle.  Warp drive appears to be inoperative.”  She frowned and looked more intently at her
console.  

Lincoln voiced her
confusion before she had the chance.
“But sir, that doesn’t make sense.
According to these Starfleet records, the Arkadia was destroyed seventeen years ago.”
