Quickly high tailing it away from Messier 69 before the Remans changed their minds Sureth took a break and allowed Lt Commander Croesus to man the stick.

Ensign 101 who normally was quiet joined Sureth which opened up the co pilot seat for Kah’lyn.

" Image that we left one station of danger to find other danger here." Croesus commented to Kah’lyn.

“That’s always the way it happens” Kah’lyn smiled as she took the co-pilot seat next to her husband.

Sureth tried to rest but the watchful eyes of Ensign 101 bore into him and didn't allow for it.

" Is there something on your mind Ensign? "

“Actually yes. Before beaming aboard I was able to up link to the probe and created a file. It appears Admiral Elliott had an extensive log system pressed into that probe. A very sophisticated artificial intelligence system maintained the data. My being Binar I was able to store the data. Do you wish me to delete the data or store it into the stations computer when we return?" 101 asked.

" I of course want you to uploaded the data. I am understandably curious." Sureth replied.

Back at the pilots seats Croesus scanned ahead and tallied the distance from M-69. He then scanned the aft and to his surprise a blip appeared on his sensors.

" Commodore we are being followed. It's not very big but it does have an impulse signature." Croesus said looking at Kah’lyn.

Sureth got up and returned to the front.

" What do you make of it?"

But Ensign 101 had the answer.

" It is the Artificial Intelligence of the probe."

" An AI? The probes AI survived that explosion? Son of a...."

Kah’lyn’s console beeped as a hailing frequency called them

“We’re being hailed Sir” Kah’lyn looked towards Sureth.

" This is Commododore Sureth. To whom am I speaking too?" Sureth asked.

[ Commodore ...I am Rear Admiral James Elliott of the SS Bonaventure. Why did you attack my ship?]

" Because you were about to start a war with the Reman Hegemony. "

[ I am unaware of any Reman presence in Messier 69. However we are war with the Romulan Star Empire. Is this a vessel of the Empire?" asked the voice of Elliott.

" No this is a ship belonging to the United Federation of Planets a postumous reality of your United Earth Space Probe Agency. Are you aboard the probe that is chasing my ship?"

[ I am sir.]

" Admiral I have the technology to bring you aboard this ship. Would you permit it?"

[ I'm reluctant as I don't know you. How can I trust you sir?] asked Elliott.

" I suppose you deserve your animosity. I am the descending base Commander of Starbase M-69. Your old base. It is still active, only moved to another location at this time. I would love to take you there as an honored guest."

[ M-69 still is in operation? When we had to evacuate I thought it was destroyed. Very well Commodore I accept your invitation. I shall need to dock with you.]

" Unnecessary my transporter can beam you aboard."

[ You mean the matter energy transfer unit? I don't think so that thing has not been approved for human usage yet.]

" Sir you are in the year 2400. We have mastered this technology.""

[ 2400...not 2256? Is this a joke?] replied Elliott.

Sureth looked to Kah’lyn and nodded meaning to lock onto the little box type thing that some how was following the runabout.

“I urge caution Sir” Kah’lyn looked at Sureth. “How do we know what will happen if we attempt to lock on?”

" Beam it into status and hold it in the pattern buffer until we get back to the station." Sureth replied.

“Aye Sir” Kah’lyn nodded running her hands over the controls. “It’s in the buffer Sir.”

A while later they enter M-69s sector and one could tell a lot was going on by the presence of two Assul warships in dock.
