Chapter One

The Enterprise was on it's way home after surveying the Romulan neutral zone. It had turned out to be nothing at all in spite of all of the rumors going around the Federation and Star-fleet command center.

The Enterprise having spent a week of roaming around looking for any type of clues. Even though Kirk had received a communications from the Praetor telling the Captain that a few council members, including one of the activist wishing to change the balance of power for the most part.

Captain James Kirk wasn't in the best of moods after a rough night of sleep. Even though he's going to be happy when his wife Uhura is able to finally come back to the Enterprise. Just after her retirement from her own vessel as Captain of the U.S.S. Horizon.

She will be able to spend more time with her husband after spending the last eight months tying up loose ends to be in this particular position. She was able to send a communications that she was on her way over in a shuttle craft.

But she had to wait until the Enterprise was on its way back from the Romulan neutral zone. Otherwise the shuttle was schedule to meet the Enterprise in five hours.

Kirk arrived onto the bridge with the change in shift. His friend Mr. Spock had taken over the last watch when the younger Jr. grade officers had gotten sick. Mr. Spock had opted to work the shift as a favor to his captain.

When Kirk came over to the command chair. Mr. Spock was able to sense his mood. Even though he didn't bother to asked on what exactly was wrong. He mostly knew it was mostly due to the recess stress of having the Enterprise just outside of the neutral zone for the past two weeks.

"Captain...I will be in my quarters on whether or not your able to be using my services." It was at this point James Kirk was able to laugh at his Vulcan humor. While Spock was able to raise his eye brow before getting up from the command seat.

"Thanks." He says. Leaving Spock to enter into the main turbo lift to head for his living quarters. Even though he just might make a quick side trip to Sickbay to check on his own wife Dr. Christine Chapel having transferred back to the Enterprise after 15 years of working for Star Fleet Medical on Earth.

Just when Spock was about to step into the turbo. The automatic defense alarms went off. It was the young helmsman Petrie training for this particular cruise. Stated after checking his instruments that a lone uncloaked vessel was heading there way to this position.

Spock decided to walk over to the science station turning on his computers. He needed to find out what type of vessel...

However It was the male communications officer Ensign Tomilson said that someone name Tamor of the Matrons was coming along side the Enterprise to speak with Captain James Kirk...

When James Kirk heard that it was the Matrons. He knew exactly just who they were. Even though he never verbally mention it to Mr. Spock after all of these years.

"Highly illogical Jim." He says before moving on down towards the command chair. "I assume by your reaction, you are able to know them after all this time?" He asked in a most serious of tones.

"Yes I do Mr. Spock." Kirk moved up from his seat to begin telling him.
