Chapter 1 : Engine Problem
It was really a normal day for the crew of the Starship Enterprise, or at least, everyone thought so.
Trip was working on the Engineering, gathering some reports and all, when suddenly the warp engine was shut down without a warning.
*Beep* "Bridge to Engineering" Trip recognize the voice as Travis'. He knew what was coming up next.
"Go ahead, Travis."
"I've lost warp drive, and beginning to lose impulse too. What's going on down there?"
"Your guess' as good as mine. Hang on, I'll check it out." Trip turned off the comm. and turned to one of the crewmen working on the Engineering. "Ed, can you check the warp and impulse drive?"
The said crewman took only a second to finish the work. He came up with an unsatisfying result. "There's nothing wrong, sir."
"You sure?"
"Yes, sir. I am, sort of. It looks like the engine was shut down manually."
"By whom?"
"Let's see." The crewman analyzed the log more thoroughly, "Unknown."
Trip froze, then after some seconds, he reached the comm. button. "Tucker to the Bridge"
The Captain was the first responder "You found the problem, Trip?"
"Yes, sir. I think the ship's been infiltrated."
Malcolm and the security group were now on the engineering. The crewman who analyzed the log earlier was showing one of the securities the log.
"So, who do you think is responsible." Asked Malcolm to Trip.
"Suliban?"
"In the Expanse? I don't think so. I think it's the Xindi."
"We didn't encounter any ship, and I highly doubt the Xindi has stealth device. We've never encountered any invisible Xindi ship have we?"
"Hey, what's this?" Malcolm accidentally stepped on a PADD-like alien device.
"Seemed to be an Alien computer." Trip picked it up and looked at the letters, which he was unfamiliar with. "We're gonna need Hoshi right away."
