"Captain Siban you're needed on the bridge" a females voice said over his comm badge.

Captain Siban pressed his comm badge "I'll be right out"

Captain Siban returned his vision to the screen on his terminal "Honey I will call you in a few days when we arrive at Earth Space Dock"

Captain Siban left his Ready Room and stepped out on the bridge of the USS Aloysius

"Captain we are being hailed by a Vulcan vessel" said Commander Kimball.

"On screen" said Siban.

The image of the bulkhead melted away and was replaced by a giant screen dominated by the face of a older Vulcan male.

"I am Captain Sivuk of the Sh'Tar. I must ask your vessel to leave this area"

"And why is that." asked Siban.

"The business is mine and not yours, I am sorry Captain, even though you are a fellow Vulcan you must not be involved in what's going on here," said Sivuk.

"I will alert Starfleet of this," said Siban

Sivuk frowned and his image disappeared from the screen.

"Transmission ended Captain" said Lt. Richards.

"Sir I'm getting a reading" said Lt. Nivek

"THEY'VE LOCKED WEAPONS" shouted Nivek.

"Bring the ship about to heading zero-zero-one, mark -three, one, one" yelled Siban

The Intrepid class vessel turned to avoid the direct blast from the enemy vessel.

"Lock weapons and fire," commanded Siban

"Are sir!" replied Nivek.

The Aloysius fired all facing weapons. Each torpedo and beam collided with the Sh'Tar's shields

"Enemy shields are at eighty percent and holding Captain!" yelled Nivek

The Aloysius was rattled by another batch of enemy torpedoes.

"Our shields are at thirty percent Captain" yelled Nivek in desperation.

Siban looked around his bridge. Consoles were sparking at almost every station.

"Sir I am picking up another vessel, Sir It's cubed shaped" said Lt. Richards

What the hell now! thought Siban

"Prepare for evacuation!" yelled Siban.

He ran over to his captains chair and pressed the comm button.

"All hands this Captain speaking! Prepare for immediate evacuation"

Escape shuttles shot out the side of the Aloysius into the vastness of space. Siban looked back as a torpedo shot from the Sh'Tar and hit the Aloysius causing it to explode.
