Book 3 - Star Trek Predator: For Freedom - Chapter 2, mission prep and departure
The freedom was still traveling at high warp , Naruto and Sasuke were now on a Tour of the ship, Troy had volunteered for the task
They went from the bridge to the mess hall, to the sickbay to the holodecks and holosweets, to the shuttle bay and finally Main engineering and other random places like the computer core and such
Sasuke: This is a nice ship I'm happy to be serving on such a ship
Naruto: Yeah but I think I would of loved to be on the Enterprise, or even Voyager better
Sasuke: Shut up and be thankful, we could of ended up on a science ship or some random outpost in the middle of nowhere
Naruto: I guess
Troy: Now these will be your quarters
Naruto and Sasuke look at each other and then at Troy
Naruto: Uh...We don't get separate quarters?
Troy: Sorry we don't have a lot of quarters, this is a battleship after all, the only ones who have there own quarters are LT's and above, OR if you happen to be on the Senior Staff, even I don't have my own quarters, I share it
Sasuke: Well its not like its anything new.....We have been room mates for 4 years now what's an other year or 2....
Troy: That's actually lucky, most of us don't even know our room mates until we meet them, at least you 2 know each other, so what is your job on the ship anyway? I see your both gold, Security or Engineers ?
Naruto: Security officers, all Konoha officers got Security
Sasuke: But I want to join the Hazard Team
Naruto: Damn right !
Troy: The current CO is very strict on who gets on the team, so I wish you luck. Well I'm going back on duty now....The excitement of transporter room duty awaits....
He walks away, Naruto and Sasuke bring there bags inside there new quarters, they look around
Naruto: Well it's larger then the one on the Thunder anyway, hey what do you think happened to our first officer?
Sasuke: How should I know? My guess is he was captured by the enemy, or maybe he is just cut off and is in hiding, we wont know until we are actually there
Naruto: I say we will pass this mission with no problem
Sasuke was thinking back to the last time they had an encounter with the new alien race....And how he lead Naruto to capture
Sasuke: I think I should go alone
Naruto: What?
Sasuke: With only 1 person there is less risk of getting caught
Sasuke was lying, he just didn't want to lead Naruto into harm ever again
Naruto: Hey hey hey !! I'm as good a ninja as you are !! I can do whatever you can do !
Sasuke: Yet you cannot beat me...
Naruto: Don't change the subject, I'm coming and that's final, I'm not letting you go down there alone, if you get killed and I have no one to spare with and that's final
Sasuke: Don't be an idiot, your best move is to stay here on the ship where its safe
Naruto was starting to get mad and annoyed
Naruto: Is this what you think of me? You don't think I can do it? I WILL SHOW YOU !!
He walked out of the room in an angry mood as the doors shut behind him
Sasuke: ....Its not that I don't believe in you....I don't believe in myself to keep you safe......*sigh*
All of a sudden the ship dropped out of warp and Tucker's voice was on the comm.
Tucker: -= Naruto and Sasuke to the bridge =-
Naruto and Sasuke were in the ready room with the captain
Tucker: We have arrived at our destination
Naruto: But there are no planets.....
Tucker: Of course not !!!
Sasuke: This is an Intel mission....Wouldn't it look weird if a Federation starship dropped us off?
Tucker: Exactly
Naruto: So how do we get there?
Tucker: You will be using the newest shuttle prototype equipped with a cloak on loan from the Romulans
Naruto: Shuttle prototype?
Tucker: That's right, you have no idea how hard it was to get my hands on it
Sasuke: I guess Starfleet doesn't like to lend its prototypes
Tucker: No....just Tom Paris, he said, and I quote, if there is a single scratch on my baby there will be hell to pay....
Naruto: Tom Paris?.....LT Commander Tom Paris of Voyager?
Tucker: Yes, this is his new design , the next generation in shuttles, the Alpha Flyer !
Naruto: WOW !! The Delta Flyer was sooooo cool, I cant wait to see this one
Sasuke: So what is our mission
Tucker: Mainly your mission is to get to the Orb system, on the 4th planet, its an M Class planet just inside Cardassian boarders, your mission is to infiltrate the community, you will both be working at the PLANTS as COORDINATORS for the ZAFT Company, this is where my first officer disappeared, the owner of the Company, Kira Yamato, is against this war and has been helping us secretly for the past few months
Naruto: But aren't they a Cardassian colony?
Tucker: No , Orb has been invaded by the Cardassians, it was an independent world until not to long ago, it had its own ships, forces and power, they had no intentions of ever invading anyone else and didn't want to ally with anyone who would force them into wars, they just wanted to live in peace, until the Cardassians came along, it was a long and bloody battle but the Cardassians had numbers
Naruto: I hate these Cardassians more and more!!
Sasuke: .....What does a coordinator do at these PLANTS
Tucker: They work on creating Computer software and technologies, its thanks to ZAFT that they are able to stay on the cutting edge of technology without help from anyone else
Sasuke: I see, what will be expected of us to do?
Tucker: For ZAFT ? nothing, Kira will be passing you as workers but you will be under his care while there, you will be staying with a man named Athrun Zala, a close friend of Kira
Sasuke: So our mission is to find out what we can about our first officer while posing as workers at this ZAFT Company working along side this Kira and Athrun?
Tucker: Yes and rescue the commander if you can, BUT if you cannot, just report back, don't endanger your lives ,his and the lives of the people at ZAFT for nothing
Sasuke: Understood
They made there way to the shuttle bay , the floor started to open up slowly a shuttle was being raised from under the ground......
"See link in profile for picture of the Alpha Flyer"
Tucker: Alpha Flyer NX 75740 , Toms new Toy....She is a beauty
Naruto: WOW !!! And we are going to be flying it !!
Sasuke: Calm down you idiot, this isn't the holodeck
Tucker: The cloak is to be left on at all times during this mission, turn it off only when you land
Sasuke: Won't they be able to see it?
Tucker: Kira has a facility ready for you when you arrive, it will also be shielded from scans, so it will be safe there, here are the ZAFT Uniforms, you can put them on your way there
Sasuke: Alright, anything else?
Tucker: Good luck
Sasuke: Aye, alright Naruto lets go......
They both got on the Flyers, Naruto looked like a kid in a Candy store....They sat at there stations, Naruto took the helm since he had more experience piloting the Thunder and the Enterprise, they left the Freedom, turned the cloak on and Warped away
