No A/N for today.

Chapter 2 : The Skaarj.

"No, I can't understand a word." Said Hoshi for the tenth time when Trip and Jonathan asked her again. "The U.T. can't translate it either. We're gonna need audio sample, sir."

"Alright, I'm gonna keep this in my room for a while. Keep me posted if you find something." Jon picked the alien PADD and went to his ready room.

Porthos barked as his master went inside the room. "Oh, don't give me that look." Jon said as his dog put a begging face to him. "You're not getting any cheese." He sat and leaned on his chair. That's when he suddenly remembered of something. Translator!

Archer grabbed a small black Translator with green console. He then shoved the Alien computer and put it near the Translator.

*Beep, beep*

Jonathan read the translation shown on the Translator. He quickly reached the comm. as he finished reading it.

"Archer to Tucker"

The door bell beeped. Archer quickly responded, "Come in."

The door opened, revealing the Chief Engineer. "You asked to see me, sir?"

"Sit down." Trip sat on an empty chair next to him. "Well, I think it's about time to show my secrets to you."

After an hour of explanation, Trip still had his eyes locked on Archer as he told him about how he was taken to another dimension, forced to fight for freedom, got to meet peoples from various worlds (A/N : See UT X-treme overs.)

"Wow, was that really happened?" Archer nodded as a response. "So why are you telling me these?"

"I just translated the log, it has your name on it. Just look at it."

Trip read what was inside the Translator aloud.

"'Warrior Ka'sesh log.

It's been 5 days after the Dark Lord sent us here via the newly built time machine-dimensional portal. We were sent to this world for 2 goals. One, to eliminate Sergeant Jonathan Archer and Corporal Charles "Trip" Tucker. Two, to ensure the victory on our last invasion in the past. By eliminating two of those elite UT Taskforce soldiers. We could change the history, slightly. This is our first try. If we succeeded on this mission, the Darklord will continue with the others, but if it fails, we will discontinue this mission. I have shut down their warp and impulse drive, so they will be easier to destroy when our battleship arrives. Now I have to disable tactical systems and pinpoint the portal destination. I hope I will succeed again, so they'll promote me into a Skaarj Lord (yippie!)'. Sir, what's the UT Task Force."

"I don't know. But from the evidence on the log, it might not be existed, yet. I think it will be formed in the future and we're in it."

"And the Skaarj?"

"I've only heard about them. They're much more like Klingon in attitude POV. They're Reptillian race divided into warriors and troopers caste. They're led by a queen. Their relationship with Human is very bad. They even had a war once."

"Should I inform Malcolm about this?"

"No. We'll take care of it ourselves." Jonathan picked up a box and opened it, revealing bunch of weapons unknown to Trip. "This are the weapons in the Tournament"

A/N : Next chapter, Jon and Trip beating the crap out of the Skaarj Spy. Note that this happens between UT-Xtreme overs and UTTF : Skaarj Invasion.
