This is my first story so apologies in advance for any mistakes I might make! Also, the chapters will be really short because of how I wrote it. If you think they should be longer please tell me, any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated (and needed!)
P.S Sorry for the frequent updates and changes.
While on a simple scientific mission in the outskirts of the Bajoran system the U.S.S Defiant
encountered an unknown anomaly. Before they could start to examine it, it started moving.
"Sir, the anomaly has changed course to match ours - it's on a collision course!"
"Red alert, raise shields!" The crew of the Defiant moved like clockwork as they responded to their captain's order.
"Commander Dax, any more information on just what that thing is?!"
"No, all I'm getting is that it's charged with some sort of energy, our sensors have never seen anything like it."
"Sir, it's gaining on us!"
"At warp nine?!"
"Benjamin, it seems to have transwarp capabilities!"
"Evasive maneuvers - pattern omega!"
"No affect. Sir, at current speeds it will reach us in 5, 4…"
"Brace for impact!"
Suddenly everything went black as the power was cut off.
"Status."
O'Brien responded from somewhere under a console, knee deep in cables. "The warp core is offline and so is main power. We've switched to emergency power only. Whatever that thing was it must have affected the main computer in some way."
"How long 'til main power is back online?"
"(sigh) At least 48 hours."
"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait it out."
