Runabout Amazon carrying Sureth and Lt Kah’lyn Chiara-Rivers quickly high tailed it to track down the runabout Clinch.

Not knowing about what awaited them it was a welcome pleasure to discover that Ensign 101 had someway accessed the UESPA probe.

" Well done Ensign 101. A low level em signal is transmitting data from that probe. Take the stick Lieutenant I will try to up load this data." Sureth nodded to Kah’lyn.

"Aye Sir!" Kah'lyn nodded as she took the controls.

The runabout computer program didn't take long to retrieve the data.

" This is intriguing and also not possible. It would appear that this probe was sent to investigate the appearance of an active Iconian stargate. According to these readings one large enough to send ships through. It is very rare for the UESPA to operate outside of the Terran system. Why have they dispatched this style of probe here?" Sureth questioned aloud.

"That's a very good question Sir" Kah'lyn gave Sureth a curious look.

The probe in question took position where it had been programmed to do so at the center of the three Valdore class warships.

< AMAZON >

Sureth spotted the move and then acted quickly to get the runabout into position to scan for Croesus and Ensign 101.

" We have to get closer to that warbird but if we do they will see us . " Sureth told Kah’lyn.

“Maybe we could find a way to adjust our shield harmonics…” Kah’lyn tapped the controls.

Ironically at that very moment the probe began a transformation as it began shedding some of its hull and two nacelles expanded from its casing.

From there it's shields went up and then it began firing over the hull of the first Valdore ship.

[ This is Rear Admiral James Elliott of the Earth vessel Bonaventure. You are violating UESPA space. Failure to retreate will be considered an act of war]

Sureth looked to Kah’lyn "Who the hell is that?"

“I have no idea!” Kah’lyn shook her head. “I’ve never heard of the Bonaventure.”

" The Bonaventure was the mother ship of the original Messier 69 buy it wasn't that thing. And Admiral Elliott has been dead for 200 years. Open a channel to that probe...ship." Sureth ordered.

The Romulans did not fire back but waited for more actions. One Valdore however did notice the arrival of the Amazon as it began scanning them.

“Channel open Commodore” Kah’lyn looked towards Sureth.

" I am Commodore Sureth Commanding Officer of Starbase M-69. Why are Romulan ships lurking in this sector? The treaty of Cheron clearly marked the neutral zone boundaries. "

Silence filled the air then a reply.

[ It is you who are violating the neutral zone Commodore. This territory is free space and established space for the Reman Hegemony.]

" Reman? Since when? " Sureth asked Kah’lyn.

Kah’lyn shook her head. “Unknown Sir”


" I am unaware of any Reman presence here until now. Certainly a negotiation can be reached." Sureth began.

[ NO...negotiation is required. It is as it is. We are staking claim of this territory for the Hegemony in accordance to the treaty of Praetor Bexus. Now if you will take your little probe and your little runabout back to your modest station I will permit you to live.] the Reman speaking replied.

" I would but the matter of my missing crew and another runabout also needs to be addressed." Sureth stated sturnly.

[ I am aware of no such people or Ship. Just you and an automated probe making vague threats. ] Evoch replied.

" That probe is not controlled by us." Sureth replied.
[ Then its fate will not matter to you.]

The Probe moved the three warbirds tighter and suddenly it let out a charge seemingly crippling all three as a massive electro magnet pulse enveloped that area.

" Backing us up before that shock wave hits us." Sureth yelled as the Amazon treaded space.

The weird probe then began a count down.

On one of the ships Ensign 101 tried to use its comm badge.

" No luck sir."

" Well keep trying . The power is off let's try to find our runabout." Croesus called to 101."

< Amazon >

" Lt Kah’lyn scan for life forms. Our folks are on one of those ships." Sureth directed.

“Aye Sir!” Kah’lyn nodded.


Remans ran to their stations trying to fire their systems back up but the probe had knocked them out of play for a few minutes.

Sureth then discovered a dangerous situation as he scanned a tremendous build up ofnproto matter coming from the probe.

" We have to get out of here that probe is on a count down to destruction. " Sureth told Kah’lyn

“I’ve got our people Sir! We’re within range!” She looked at Sureth.

[ Attention all Vessels this is Commanding Officer Rear Admiral James Elliott. It is necessary to explode this ship in order to protect my station. The explosion will render this sector uninhabitable for 100 terran years. Please prepare to go to warp before the 8 minute count down...Elliott out] and automated voice sounded.

" Lock onto Rivers and One ...and.energize." Sureth yelled.

“Already on it!” Kah’lyn’s fingers traced over the controls. “Energising…now!”

Once the two officers were aboard Sureth reversed their course and pushed the runabout to warp to escape the probes explosion.

Croesus quickly ran to Kah’lyn''s side.
" Did you miss me?" Croesus joked

“You bet I did” Kah’lyn offered a relieved smile. “Don’t ever do that to me again!”

" Commander Croesus take the helm. Ensign one are you able to communicate with that probe?"

" I am Commodore. The artificial intelligence is in control of that probe." One replied.

" Order it to stand down. "
" Unable to comply. It has an antiquated code but it is still active."

Sureth then tried to readon how such a thing was possible. Apparently after the Romulan War the UESPA had created such a drone to off set any Romulan movements along the Messier.

" USS Bonaventure this is Commodore Sureth we won that war but if you detonate you will start a whole new war..

[ According to my orders the Romulan occupation of Messier 69 is an act of war. I am simply completing my orders.]

" Sir it was a Reman SubCommander that took us. If their systems are off line they will be lambs to the slaughter.

Sureth quickly halted and pivoted the Amazon and headed back toward the Probe.

" Arming all weapons and firing on that probe. Targeting main power supplies."

The probe absorbed the first volley but then exploded like a light show.

" Hail the lead Reman ship." Sureth told Croesus.

[ We are not leaving Vulcan but you are owed a debt and I hate to have debts. We will meet again] SubCommander Evoch replied.
