The crew of the Sentinel was busy. The ship’s systems had gone haywire, and it took extraordinary effort from everyone onboard to combat equipment failures and put out fires.

The worst was behind them, but the scars remained. Critical systems were operational, but some auxiliary systems were degraded, and built-in redundancies were offline. It would be hard to recover, but the Sentinel had gone through worse and come out the other side before. It could do it again.

The repairs were well underway, so it was just a matter of time before the Sentinel was back at full operational capacity.

Time they might not have.

An alert chimed on the bridge. It wasn’t the usual hail, but a priority alert from a Starfleet Flag officer. The NE on the communications station looked up sharply, then hesitated. “Captain… a priority distress call from Rear Admiral zh’Rhoe. Should I put it through?”

Almost everybody on the bridge would recognize that name. Varah zh’Rhoe was a hero of the Klingon War and had earned the nickname Absolute Zero.

“Put it through Ensign,” Asam said moving over to the comms station to listen to the message.

An older Andorian woman appeared on the viewscreen. Her hair was gray, cut into a textured bob. Her antennae were stiff and curved back gently, projecting calm and control. Her skin was darker than average for her species, and her expression was serious.

“All Starfleet assets in this sector, this is Rear Admiral zh’Rhoe aboard the Declaration. We are under attack by a formation of Klingon Birds-of-Prey—” The screen shook at that moment, sparks flying behind the Admiral. The shaking transmission revealed she was in the Flag Command Center, not the bridge. “Their numbers are hard to pinpoint, and we’ve taken significant damage. Any ship receiving this message is hereby ordered to head to my location and prepare to defend the Declaration and render all due aid. Zh’Rhoe out.”

The NE sitting at the navigation station pulled up the coordinates on her console. “The Declaration is a few hours out, Captain. Less if we push the engines.”

“Comms send confirmation to the Declaration letting them know we are responding.” Rende returned to the center chair and pushed the shipwide comm button. The bosun’s whistle echoed through the ship. [O]Attention all hands to battle stations. Emergency distress call has been received from the USS Declaration. She is under attack by several Klingon Vessels.[C] Closing the comms, Rende hit another button on her chair that put the ship to red alert.

“Engineering let Lt Nightroad know that we will be pushing the engines to get there and to reinforce our shielding. Science inform Lt. Kross that I want sensors checked and refined to try and identify areas of cloaked ships and to begin scanning for life signs and casualties as soon as we drop out of warp.”

“Cmdr Thraz, get your people ready. Have phasers and torpedoes ready, and prepare for boarding parties and away teams.”

[O]Bridge to Medical, prepare for incoming casualties and rescue operations.[C]

“Helm lay in a course, maximum warp and engage.” The NE at the helm quickly input the coordinates and set the ship on course, “Aye Captain, engaging engines.”

“Aye, Captain!” he said looking at his fellow Andorian on the screen, she was legend among his poeple, Though people felt the same way about him, he certianly fellt the honor belonged to her. His fingers danced around the console sending. “Sir anti boarding teams will be in place within the next 20min, boarding team will be onstand by and ready when we drop out of warp. Torpedo room and weapons systems are reporting online Sir” he said looking over a few things. ” Bridge is ready.” he noted, “Recomend we go to red alart a few minutes before we drop out of warp.”
