Chapter Seven Venture

Running quickly to avoid freezing to death from the sudden cold, snow and ice inside.

Everyone of the Romulans including Kang made it out intact. Along with more questions on their mind.

Needing to beam back up to their vessel. Kang is able to activate his communications device to have the landing party to beam up for now.

Beaming abroad on the transporter pad. He needed to seek rest for now. Even though his vessel not having the luxury like most vessels in the fleet in need of a medical bay.

Just about everyone would be feeling the effects from being down on the colony. He'd asked his second-in-command to take over to head back to Romulus for now. Even though not liking the order to leave the neutral zone and weakening their defenses in case of a civil war.

He didn't need to hear that particular word. Civil War.

However he did asked to send a priority message to the home world to advised Praetor Galen of the situation going on Remus and the findings for now.

Communications was sent to the other war-birds patrolling the zone. Being advised of what was happening down on the colony.

All of the commanders having to be very careful.

Captain William Kirk having left the bridge earlier. Leaving engineer Donaldson IN CHARGE for now until. They are able to catch up with the Aurora shuttle craft and Commander Savin.

Otherwise orders were coming in from Star Fleet Command Commodore Weller. Mark priority for EYES ONLY for Captain William Kirk.

Lt. Roberts would be on the bridge at the time when the message would be coming into his board. Calling the Engineer over to his station. Donaldson shaking his head for the moment. Knew very well this was not a good thing. After just finishing up shore leave.

"Lt. Call the captain to the bridge. This is serious." He says with a tone to give chills down the Roberts neck and back.

"Yes. Sir." He goes to work to call the captain in his quarters.

He was alone right now. Since his wife had left for her duties else where. He was tired after spending personal time with his wife before leaving for her shift.

Getting up slowly from his bed to go over to his computer terminal to answer the bridge. He says. "Whats going on Lt." In a icy tone.

"Sir. There is a priority message for you from Star Fleet Command marked urgent. "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY."

"Thanks. I will take it here in my quarters Lt. Roberts."

"Very well. I will switch it down to your quarters right now." As he switches the priority message to his access terminal. While the captain needed to put in his password for now.

And the face of Commodore Weller shows up on the screen.

Since it wasn't live. He wouldn't be able to see him in his state of undress for now.

"Captain Kirk. The U.S.S. is to head for the Romulan Neutral zone to investigate the small colony of Remus. You have the permission of Praetor Galen and the council, along with Star Fleet Command on why the colonies production complex has shut down. And these facts from Commander Kang of finding no bodies only purple blood around.

Ice, snow and cold found inside of the complex."

Listening further to this message. Hearing the commodore talking about finding the following of ice, cold and snow would be some sort of a real mystery for this vessel get involved in.

The next few moments with the commodore giving him the general cooridates of where to head for Remus.

Good luck Captain.

And god speed.

And with that. He was ready all of a sudden with something interesting to sink his teeth in. No doubt his crew is going to be thinking the same thing for the most part.

Turning off his terminal. He heads back into his main sleeping quarters to find his fresh uniform. He would be going to take a quick shower before heading to bridge to make the announcement to all of the decks.

First off when he does arrive on the bridge. He would need to find out just how long it will take to meet up with the shuttle craft Aurora. And before leaving for the Romulan Neutral zone.

Moments later...

Arriving on the bridge. It would be mostly quiet from the crew members around the bridge. Sensing the Captain's mood for now. And just coming back from Shore Leave for the most part.
