Now on with the chapter :D
Book 4 - Star Trek: Predator - Sad Day for Konoha's - Chapter 4, New Objective
They now had to wait in the silence of space, they talked about random stuff. Kira got himself and the rest of the team some hot cocoa
"Where did you get this? I though everything was powered down" Ino asked as she sipped some of the hot beverage
"After being in section thirty one I learned to plan ahead, I can't live without this stuff, so I always have a thermos full of it, it also has its own power source to keep it warm" Kira explained as he also took a sip
A few more hours pass, Neji was becoming restless "It has been almost four hours"
"Alright power up the sensors only, let's take a peek out there" Kira ordered
Ino nodded "Aye, powering sensors" She said as she activated her console and brought the sensors online "Commander, the probe, its still transmitting!" She informed them
Kira was a bit surprised "They didn't find it?" He asked as he approached her station to see for himself
"No, it looks like they were just on the same course as we were, they passed the probe three hours ago, also the probe is within sensor range of our destination" Ino explained
"That is great, lets see it" Kira ordered as they all stared at her screen
A very large ship appeared on the screen that shocked them all
"Look at the size of that ship" Ino was the first to comment
"Its four times the size of the Titan..." Neji added
"My god, this ship is almost as big as a Borg Sphere if not bigger, Ino power up the rest of the shuttle, Neji resume course and speed once the engines are back online" Kira instructed them
The shuttles engines came back to life as the the nacelles extended out and they went to warp
"Our ETA is two hours and fifty three minutes" Ino reported
"Good, I am going to go replicate some hot cocoa to replace what I used in my thermos, anyone want something?" Kira asked as he made his way towards the rear of the cockpit
"I am a bit hungry actually" Neji answered
"Come to think of it so am I, we didn't really eat when we woke up and we haven't eaten for the past five hours" Ino added
"Alright so what do you guys want?" Kira asked
"Lets keep it simple, Ramen" Neji answered
"Same for me" Ino added
Kira went into the back room of the Flyer, here was a small kitchen with a table. The room to the right was the Sonic Shower and the toilet, while the room to the left went to the Bunks, the room in the back went to the armory and transporter room, a small medical bay with only one bed and there was a trap door that took you to the lower part of the flyer where the torpedoes were stored
"Hurm I wonder if I should wake those two up, technically we haven't moved since they went to bed, and I told them I would wake them once we reach our destination, I think I will let them rest some more, they may need it in the upcoming mission" He said as he walked over to the replicator
He pressed a few buttons on the replicators and three hot steamy bowls of Ramen appeared, he put them on the table. He then ordered the computer to fill his thermos with hot cocoa, he then walked back into the cockpit with the bowls of ramen on a tray and gave them to Neji and Ino. He sat down at his station to eat his bowl
"So what are we going to do once we reach this ship?" Ino asked as she slurped some ramen into her mouth
"Sasuke, Suzu, Naruto and I are going to infiltrate the ship and try and find out as much information as we can" Kira answered her
"Wait, I want to be part of this mission!" Neji quickly stated
"I am sorry Neji, but this is a section thirty one operation, and we need someone to stay in the flyer" Kira explained
"But.." Neji tried to object
"Trust me, if Hinata is in there, we will get her out" Kira told him to reassure him
"Neji, trust the commander, those three seem to trust him, and that's all I need to know" Ino told him in an attempt to help Kira out
Neji let out a sigh "I guess you are right Ino, sorry sir its just when it comes to Hinata I am a bit overprotective" He explained
"Yeah I did notice that" Kira said
"Its because she is the future head of the Hyuga clan, she is part of the Head Family and it is my duty to protect her sir" Neji explained
"I see, well don't worry, if she is alive and on board that ship we will bring her back" Kira told him
"That's right, I promise that no matter what, I will not leave that ship without her" A voice from the back stated
All three of them looked at the rear of the cockpit to see Naruto who was standing there in his PJ's and his night Hat, Neji and Kira thought he looked very unimpressive and Ino cracked a smile trying not to laugh
"Sorry I woke up for a glass of water and overheard your conversation" He added
"Go back to bed, I will wake you in two hours, we have a tough mission ahead of us and I need you three to be fully rested" He paused for a second "And for god sake, next time put on your uniform..." He said while trying to hide a smile
It was too much for Ino, she started to break out laughing hysterically "I am sorry, its the hat, its just so funny, what is that anyway, some sort of dog?" She asked as she continued laughing
"Ha, ha, ha... Fine I'm going back to bed" Naruto said in an annoyed tone as he left the cockpit
Just under two hours later the flyer had dropped out of warp and had engaged its impulse engines
"We will be within transporting range in ten minutes at our current speed sir" Neji informed them
"Good, we cant warp in any closer without being detected, I will go wake up Sasuke and Naruto" Kira stated as he made his way into the second room. Naruto, Sasuke and Suzu were already up and in their uniforms. They had begun eating since they had not eaten anything in more then twelve hours now
"Hey commander, we got up a little early, so we decided it would best if we ate before the mission, you know since working on an empty stomach is not good" Naruto told him with a grin
"I see, well good, we will be in transporter range in ten minutes. I want you guys to hurry up, we don't know how long the ship is going to stay in this system" Kira informed them
"Don't worry, Naruto can eat Ramen like a vacuum cleaner" Sasuke stated with a grin of his own as Suzu giggled at the comment
However to Sasuke's surprise Naruto did not get angry, he only grinned back at him "There is nothing wrong with a healthy appetite" Naruto stated as he ate up his ramen
"Alright just eat up, I will get our equipment ready" Kira told them as he walked into the back room. He began to take out and inspect the equipment, hand phasers, tricorders and emergency ration packs. Naruto, Sasuke and Suzu walked into the room a few minutes later.
Naruto looked at the equipment "Where are the Riffles?" He asked
"No riffles, this is an intelligence mission, we need to remain quick and mobile" Kira told him
"So no Hazard Team armor either I guess" Sasuke asked
"That's right, the less we have the better, the armor would only slow us down and is just not necessary for this type of mission" Kira confirmed
"Then why the ration packs?" Suzu asked
"You never know how long you are going to be out in the field when your an intelligence officer, you have to plan ahead. For example, if this ship starts to move while we are on it and we are separated from the flyer, then at least we have some supplies to last us a few days" Kira explained
"We could always steal some of their food" Naruto commented
"There are two problems with that, first, they might notice it and start looking for how it went missing, two, we have no idea what these aliens eat, or if they eat at all" Kira told him
"Alright, then let's rescue Hinata" Naruto stated as he took his equipment and rations
Kira tapped his comm badge "Ino, are we within range?" He asked her
"Aye sir, we just shut down the impulse engines" Ino's voice answered over the comm
"Once we beam over I want radio silence, do not message us unless its an emergency, Ino I want you to keep a lock on us at all times, if they begin to go to warp, I want you to beam us out, understood?" Kira told her
"Understood commander" Ino answered back
Naruto, Suzu and Sasuke were fully equipped and waiting by the transporter
"Alright you three, once we are there you have to follow my orders to the letter, no shooting unless I say so, even if there is an alien coming right for you, you are to refrain from doing anything unless I give the go ahead" Kira told them all in a stern voice
All three of them nodded
"Then lets get going" Kira stated as they all got onto the transporter pads "Neji I am leaving you in charge of the flyer while we are gone"
"Understood commander, and good luck" Neji's voice answered over the comm
"Thanks, Energies" Kira ordered
The familiar shimmer from the transporter activated as their bodies vanished from the flyer and appeared in a secluded section of the alien ship
"We have to watch out for their AI" Sasuke quickly told them
"AI?" Kira asked
"Yeah, the last time we were on one of these ships, we tried to crack their security, only to be led around in circles by the ship's AI" Sasuke explained
Kira grinned "Don't worry, I'm an expert at computers, Utopia's commander asked me to test his security system for some Yuna computer thing the other day, I cracked it no problem, and that was Starfleet's finest computer, so I was told" Kira told them with a slight hint of pride in his voice
With that said he opened a computer console on one of the walls and attached a device to it "hurm, not bad. This ship does indeed have an AI, but it hasn't noticed me yet, this isn't as advanced as the one at Utopia, this is a piece of cake. Accessing data files, searching for recent battles records, USS Lexington, here is the captains Log about the battle, translating it to our language" Kira stated
The face of Alien captain appeared on the screen "Captains log, krogs date 592 and 43 monicles and 392 monasit, after hearing from the Grand Council about a possible being known to us now as Konohans may be posted on the USS Lexington. We were dispatched to capture it, their ship was no match for ours, however they showed unexpected cunning. They disabled our tractor beam for a short time allowing them to try and get away, but we disabled their ship and captured it quite easily. Their crew did not surrender however, they fought back for as long as they could, but our numbers were greater, and after twenty nine hours we had taken over their entire ship. Their captain refused to tell me which one was the Konoha, so I killed random crew members until the Konoha stepped up on her own. Once confirmed, we killed the entire crew of the Lexington and are using them for food storage. The Lexington itself is to be dissected for technological value, there transporter technology is of special value to us. The Cardassian and Breen refuse to share it until we give them more of our technology, but if we can break the secrets from this ship then we wont need them anymore. As for the Konoha, she is going to be of real value to our medical scientist. Last time we had our hands on one of those brats was when we attacked that Starbase of theirs, we let him slip through our fingers, but not this time, end Log."
"They killed the Entire crew?..." Kira said in shock
"And they are trying to steal our technology?" Suzu added
"We have to save Hinata! You heard him, their doctors are going to start doing horrible things to her, I won't let that happen!" Naruto stated worried about what they could be doing to her
"I agree, there is no time to lose" Sasuke added in agreement
"I didn't know they did not have transporter technology, this adds to our mission, and it explains why they didn't just beam the crew off the ship" Kira stated
"How does this add to the mission?" Suzu asked
"This isn't just a rescue mission anymore, we have to destroy the Lexington and all the data they have on our technology. Our only problem is once we do one, they will be on the alert, If we rescue Hinata first, then their security will be on the look out for us, same if we destroy the Lexington" Kira explained
"We need to get to Hinata first! Her life is on the line and there is no telling what there doing to her right now!" Naruto stated, wanting to make sure Hinata was the priority
"Or, we could do both at the same time, you said your an expert at computers right?" Sasuke asked
"Yeah, I am" Kira answered intrigued
"Then you can hack the Lexington's main computer core and tell it to self destruct, once we got Hinata that is" Sasuke suggested
"That is a good plan" Kira said in approval of the idea
"Alright then lets get going!" Naruto continued to push for them to begin their rescue of Hinata
"Right, they are holding Hinata in the main medical ward, its forty three decks above us, we can use the access tubes. Using their lifts is too risky, I hope you guys are in shape" Kira stated with a smile as he opened a hatch to the tubes
"I would climb one hundred decks if I had to, LET'S GO!" Naruto stated as they began their long climb up the tubes
End Chapter 4
