Chapter Eleven: Trying to Break the News
I walked over to the bridge with Bones and I saw Chekov there already. I tried to walk over but where we were going, our road was a little bumpy. There were lights flashing around like lightning and I felt uncomfortable.
"Lt. Uhura, open entire ship canal," Jim said.
"Yes, Captain."
"Attention, the crew of the Enterprise. Our mission is straightforward. Rescue a crew stranded on a planet in an uncharted space. Our trajectory will take us through an unstable nebula, when we will disable all communications with the Starfleet. We will be on our own. The Enterprise has something no other ship in the fleet has. You. We come to understand that there is no such thing as unknown but only temporarily hidden. Kirk out," Jim said. We were going to a rough path way and our lights were off.
"This looks safe," I muttered.
"Readings indicate cloud's density diminishing sir," Chekov said.
"This is Altamid. My ship was stranded here," We approached to the planet and there was nothing surrounding it.
"Approaching Altamid. Class M planet. Vast subterranean elements, but limited or no life forms on the surface.
"Proximity alert, sir. There iz an unknown ship heading right towards us,"
"Lt. Uhura, call them," Jim ordered.
"Yes sir."
"No response. I am picking up some kind of signal. They're jamming us," She told us.
"Magnify, Mr. Sulu."
Sulu magnified it and we didn't know what they were.
"What is this?" Jim turned to the girl.
"Shield's up! Red alert!" Jim yelled.
"Fire at will!" Jim said. Nothing seemed to do nothing and I looked over at Bones.
"Sir, our phasers have minimal effects and our torpedoes can't track movement," Chekov told Jim.
"Fire everything we got," Jim ordered.
"Captain, we are not equipped for this type of engagement," Spock told him.
"Shield frequencies has no effect, sir!" Checkov warned.
"They took out our disc. Shields are inalterable.," Sulu said.
"Warp us out of here, Mr. Sulu," Jim said.
"Yes, sir."
Sulu tried to warp us out but nothing was happening.
"Why the hell aren't we movieing?" Jim asked.
"I cannot engage the warp, sir," Sulu said.
"Scotty, I need warp now," Jim called out.
"I cannot, sir. They've gone," Scotty told us.
"Security, engage all emergency procedures," Jim said.
"Lydia, you go to the engineering room to see if something's wrong," Bones said.
"Yes doctor," We got in the elevator and we went off. I ran towards the engineering room and saw a lot of people hurt.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes," One said.
"Help me move them up!" I yelled. Two people helped them up as I ran to go find Scotty.
I found him with Keenser and I ran over towards him.
"Any one hurt?" I asked.
"Over there," I ran over and saw two people down. I helped them up and got them out of the room.
"Scotty," I called out.
"In here. Come over and help me fix this damn thing," I nodded and helped him fix the wiring.
"Damn it, Scotty. I'm a doctor not an engineer," I said.
"You sound like Bones," Scotty told me.
"Great," I mumbled.
Scotty connected two of the wires and everything went back to work.
"I'm going to go back to the med bay," I told him. I felt the ship tilt and Scotty grabbed onto me.
"Not now kid. Let's make sure we're out of here first," He told me.
"But what about everyone else?" I shouted through the noise.
"They'll be fine. Come on. Jim would want me to protect you."
"I can protect myself," I said.
"I know you can but we need to get out of here," Scotty said.
"To where?" I asked.
"Luckily I made two of them," Scotty said before leading me away.
"Two of what?" I asked.
"Just follow me," Scotty said.
