The Klingon D7 banked hard as the Bird of Prey curved around and fired once more hitting the USS Quasar Quest twice in the main haul. The ship listed forward and began to fall towards the surface of Reykja Penthe.
Systems began to fail all over the ships. There were flashes of monitors going on and off, of consoles going on and off and flashes of sparks throughout the ships. Sulu Viceroy was feverishly trying to get the ship to land without being destroyed. Sunny Jo Warren was screaming at her helm partner to try to keep the nose up. It was not a fun experience at all. The Quest was crashing.
Sunny Jo turned to Captain John Warren for advice. She gasped loudly when John began to glitch out. What the hell was happening? Tears started to steam down her cheeks. What had the King’s Fleet done to them and the crew. She turned to Sulu, her fellow Trill who held the Katra of her former lover LIndsay Viceroy. She reached over and held her hand the ship headed to its demise.
Sulu turned to Sunny Jo, “It must be the work that Toronto Trmel and activating the emergency command hologram and using Gul Vash Enranet and Gul Thua’ra Varno to bring the Tanmesad back on stream. It may be even worse. President Viceroy could be a similar tool.”
“Not that it matters.”, Sunny looked out as the Quest fell into the cloud cover of the atmosphere of the colony. Sulu looked at her friend. She took a deep breath.
Captain S’Nii of Vulcan is most famous for scuttling the USS Archangel. Sulu looked at her friend and long time colleague, “The only person with even a ghost of chance to save this ship is someone with intimate knowledge of its capabiltiies. That persons’ Katra is hidden within yours. John Warren, the real John Warren would know what to do.”
“But he is buried amongst my own life force, his life force and the life force of Captain S’Nii of Vuclan.”, Sunny Jo cried out.
“More than that, Captain S’Nii is terrified and traumatized by the repeating events of the USS Archangel.”, Sunny Jo started to cry.
“You can do this.”, Sulu looked at Sunny Jo. Captain S’Nii saw the young Lindsay Viceroy, the fine pilot who would become her lover, her firend and her soulmate. She had to try.
Sunny Jo and Sulu were soon working as team as they watched Commander Russia Trmel and and Captain John Warren phasing in and out as systems failed throughout the ship.
Sunny Jo looked Sulu as she engaged the landing thrusters. The Double Q, the legendary Sovereign Class flag ship of the King’s Fleet leveled and began to gain altitude directing itself towards Covenant Station. Sulu looked at Sunny Jo, “You did it.”
Sunny Jo smiled as the ship limped towards the station. The gruff voice of General Batok could be heard over the comms, “You may have survived this round, John but I will slay the legendary Captain once and for all.”
Sulu grabbed the comm button. Sunny Jo put her hand on her friend’s. “It’s alright, the legend of Captain John Warren is a valuable asset.”
“Besides, in a way, he played a part in saving the great bird.”, Sunny Jo winked.
“The Klingons don’t need to know the truth just yet.”, Sunny Jo smiled.
“Not yet.”, Sunny Jo repeated.
