The Narvhalarians had efficiently transmitted the data package to the USS Atlantis, detailing the modifications necessary to navigate the subspace anomalies of the Aetherial Expanse. With the blueprint now in the hands of the Chief Engineer and science team, they could begin implementing the solution. In their message, the Narvhalarians also confirmed they had established communication with their other ship, which would remain outside the Expanse until the Atlantis had successfully installed the new system and secured safe passage. Meanwhile, the Narvhalarians, much to the vocal objections of the Romulans, had tugged the Romulan warbird within the Atlantis’ tractor range, rendering it immobile and powerless to resist. The Romulan crew, clearly frustrated, could do little but watch as the situation unfolded, the balance of control now firmly in Starfleet’s hands.

“Status report on all systems?” he said, staring at the Romulan ship on the viewscreen. “And status of the Romulan ship?”

To navigation he said, “Distance to Romulan space. Set a course toward it and prepare to depart.”

“Engineering,” he said, “What is our safest best speed while towing the Romulans?”

“Captain, should we give our regards to the Narvhalarians before departing?” By we he was thinking her in this instance.
