STARFLEET COURT COMPLEX, SAN FRANSISCO
It had taken Kirk longer than anticipated, but finally the day had arrived. Today, Khan Noonien Singh would finally answer for the crimes for which he had been charged.
James T. Kirk could never be described as a patient man, and today was no exception. As he stood waiting to enter the courtroom he was practically chomping at the bit, eager for the proceedings to begin.
"Captain Kirk!"
His name, called in such obvious urgency immediately had the young Starfleet Captain on edge. Turning he saw Hendorff, one of the security team he'd assigned to guard the prisoner hastening towards him, and the good mood he'd been in instantly evaporated.
"What's happened?" he demanded, though he already had a good idea.
"Khan's escaped," Hendorff confirmed. "And Captain…"
There always had to be something more.
"Yes Mr Hendorff,"
"Sir, he's taken a hostage."
