U.S.S. Galilio
Stardate:2408-19.12.33
Officers Log: Commander Marius
After our initial run down, the captain has asked that I put the crew threw some test combat run situations. As the Galilio is a scientific vessel in origin , the captain wants to know if she is also combat worthy. After her initial voyage test run, everything went in order, however the response from our engineering department had it's “limitations” and in this , the captain feels another run down in a more intense situation should show the crew their own limitation and give them insight in better how to perform under pressure.
Of course being the first officer, I understand but still don't see the need for a full blown combat exercise. We shall see what becomes of this test.
“RED ALERT!” exclaimed the first officer.
“Red alert, aye commander, shields up” responded the weapons officer.
First officer Marius hits the communication button and begins to talk “ Captain, we are in red alert , the combat scenario is beginning”... “Very well commander..” responded captain Guardious, “what is our situation?”
“Sir, there has been a distress call from the neutral zone, Frigate Terribly is under attack by unknown assailants.” responds Marius.
“Plot an intercept course, notify starfleet command, I am on my way to the bridge”.
“Yes sir!” responded the first officer.
Lights and consoles across the bridge light up relaying information of the current situation, showing data of statues greens for all departments and information related to the current objective at hand. Commander Marius begins to execute the captain's orders ..” Mr. Sloucher, set course to intercept”..
“Yes commander, right away”. With a few taps of the console flight officer Sloucher sets course for the frigate in distress. “Course laid in, all departments respond ready sir”.
“Make it so Mr. Sloucher” responds Marius, “Yes, sir, engaged” as officer Sloucher taps the console the the ships main engines begin to humm a familiar low build up to the final execution of faster then light travel to warp speed.
Stars flash by in an instances and as the speed increases all things on the view screen ahead become lined blurs then as fast as they started they stop as the ship passes the point of the blurriness of travel and the view screen now shown stars , nebula's, gases and more space anomalies flying past without a notice to their location.
“Captain on the bridge!” The commander barks out as the doors slide open from the turbo-lift from which Guardious appears. “Report”, looking directly at Marius the captain waits for his response. “Sir, as requested , we are en rout to the distressed ship, however sense the last communication we have not received any updates, everything is dead silent, no static, no anything it is very odd indeed” Looking at the captain for a response, Marius takes his stance behind the captains chair as Guardious takes a seat.
“Anything from Starfleet? Maybe others have responded” inquired Guardious.
“Negative sir, ever sense we went to warp, all communication have gone dark, we have the engineering crew looking into now encase there is an array down.” Responded Marius with an inquired tone in his voice. “Hmm...” the Captain swivels in his chair looking out at the view screen in obvious deep thought, as one who would stare at a puzzle trying to find the correct sequence to put the pieces together.
The bridge, utterly silent in this moment with only the sounds of consoles responding to interactive reactions from members of the bridge crew. The view screen ahead showing general space travel of stars and more traveling by, the captain suddenly stands to his feet and exclaims in a fast and stern voice.. “ALL STOP!”.. the crew responding quickly to the captains orders takes the ship out of warp into sector speed of impulse, like that which is paddling down a river.
Mr. Marius tell me exactly what time you started this exercise?! Exclaimed Guardious in a fast pace direct face to Marius. “Sir?” responded the commander. “Did I st-udder?, What time commander!?” In urgency Marius pulled out his log book and looked up the times. Only a few min ago captain, star-date:
2408-19.12.33. responded Marius.
Guardious hurries over to the nearest console and says “Computer.. current star-date” the computer in a monotone uncaring voice responses “ 2508-19.12.33“.
“That can't be possible!” responds Marius.
Guardious reaches at the console, hits one button then another, the red alert echos forth again all over the ship and Guardious reaches for a communication button near by... “Attention: this is your captain speaking, we are no longer in a simulation, all decks stand by for further orders.“
Marius in a fast pace walks up to the captain and response in a more lower voice then usual.. “sir, is there something I should know? What is going on?” Guardious with a sweat on his brow looks to his first officer , gets his composure and responds with a lower voice then his own “Project Echo One, do you remember the briefing Marius?” the captain inquires. “Well yes sir, but is that actually possible, how , how could that have happened , we never even..” responds Marius but cut off prematurely by Guardious holding his hand up and instantly responding in a louder voice “ Mr. Sloucher, hold it here and report anything that changes, keep trying to contact starfleet, you have the con, Marius with me please” Looking at the flight officer for a response then to Marius for the response, both Guardious and Marius head for the ready room just threw the doors left of the turbo-lift....
To Be Continued....
