*John Taking over the tatical Station*

"Sending Conformation Codes Now" Said John

As soon as Alexander was relived from the tactical station, he left the bridge "Deck eight." He said as he entered the turbolift. The familiar chime went off and pretty soon, the lift was soaring through the decks, to his destination. The lift stopped moving after what felt like seconds in the lift and the doors opened, revealing the deck that Alexander had desired. He stepped out of the lift and started patrolling the deck for any suspicious activity.

The deck was mysteriously quiet as Alexander went through it, as if one of those ancient ghost towns he heard so much about. All the doors were closed and there was barely any noise from inside any of the rooms. When he was done patrolling the deck, Alexander decided to get something from the mess hall. When he arrived in the mess hall, he took a seat and didn't order anything from the replicator. He had lost his appetite as quickly as it came.

[Michael Goodwin]

"The Object is moving away slowly, I'm moving to compensate." Michael said. "I'm detecting a small nebula, it's course indicates it's moving there."

Kawolsky had just taken the last bite of his sandwich when he noticed a dark object glide through the nebula out of the corner of his eye. Munching on the remnants of his lettuce and tomato, Kawolsky walked up to the mess hall window to get a better look. The gases made it hard to see much but he could definately make something out - and it was bigger than a listening post - it was a ship.

Kawolsky slammed his comm badge in an instant reaction.

"Kawolsky to bridge - red alert!"

But before the words could properly escape his mouth, it appeared; an Iconian battlecruiser loomed over the Akira class starship. They had been ambushed.

Kawolsky turned back to face the mess hall crowd.

"Everyone to your stations!"  he shouted, before running to his

"It's an Iconian battlecruiser!"  Cortez shouted

The ship had appeared out of nowhere. He had guessed it was hiding in one of the nebula pockets, away from sensor scans. It had taken them by suprise - shields were not at full strength and weapons weren't charged. They were sitting ducks.

"Right away sir." Alexander said to himself quietly. He waited a minute before moving so that he would avoid the collision with any of the other crew members. Walking to the turbolift, he expected for the ship to be shaking from a volley of weapons. But as he entered the lift, nothing. The ship felt perfectly stable to him, but that was probably a whole different story on the bridge.

"Bridge." Alexander said. The lift started up, taking him to the desired location. A few seconds later, the turbolift stopped. Alexander exited and headed for the security console, checking to see if everyone was following their orders.

[Michael Goodwin]

"Initiating Evasive maneuvers delta echo 5." Michael said.
He tapped a few buttons and the ship suddenly sped up and moved to behind to behind the battlecruiser. He tapped a few buttons and had the ship follow the iconian battlecruiser matching all the maneuvers. The small Akira was staying behind this battlecruiser, no matter the cost.

[Scott Bradley]

Scott stood on the bridge wondering where the hell the captain was, and how this iconian ship could get the drop on them so easily. Something was different, it didnt feel right. Something wasnt right, as images of a far off land began flashing in his head. Pictured of serene beauty.

He saw john readying weapons, and preparing to fire, Scott suddenly straightened his back and bellowed.

" HOLD WEAPONS! "

As the orders left Bradley's mouth, Kawolsky came rushing out of one of the aft turbolifts.

"Report!"  he screamed, taking his seat

"Report!"  he screamed, taking his seat

Scott was startled by Kawolskys sudden arrival, he stood beside Brown at the tactical console, and looked at his captain. The overwhelming need to not fire on that ship srove him on.

" Iconian Battlecruiser, jumped right on top of us. But she hasnt armed weapons, and no fighters have been launched. "

[Lee Armstrong]

Scott was startled by Kawolskys sudden arrival, he stood beside Brown at the tactical console, and looked at his captain. The overwhelming need to not fire on that ship srove him on.

" Iconian Battlecruiser, jumped right on top of us. But she hasnt armed weapons, and no fighters have been launched. "

As the tension on the bridge reached breaking point, Lee's console beeped again.

" Energy spike! another Battlcruiser, right on top of us "

[Michael Goodwin]

Michael tapped the console and began another maneuver so to make the ship more difficult to target.

"Orders sir?"

[Shelaf Greegy]

Michael tapped the console and began another maneuver so to make the ship more difficult to target.

"Orders sir?"

Shelaf raced onto the bridge behind Kawolsky, standing next to Brown at tactical.

"If they havn't fired, then what else could they want?"

[kawolsky]

Shelaf raced onto the bridge behind Kawolsky, standing next to Brown at tactical.

"If they havn't fired, then what else could they want?"

Kawolsky exchanged a glance with Bradley.

"I don't know"  he said  "But I'm not going to wait to find out"

Leaning forward in his chair, he looked across the room at Brown

"Target their sensors, all phasers. Maybe we can make an escape..."

[cortez]

Kawolsky exchanged a glance with Bradley.

"I don't know"  he said  "But I'm not going to wait to find out"

Leaning forward in his chair, he looked across the room at Brown

"Target their sensors, all phasers. Maybe we can make an escape..."

"Wait! No!"  Cortez suddenly shouted   "We're receiving a transmission from the first ship. It's a General...Raynar, sir. He's requesting to speak with you."

[kawolsky]

"Wait! No!"  Cortez suddenly shouted   "We're receiving a transmission from the first ship. It's a General...Raynar, sir. He's requesting to speak with you."

Kawolsky paused for thought, though not taking too long. He was well aware of the tricks Iconians could play at times and he wasn't about to let them get one over on him today. But he couldn't help being curious about the hail. The human inside of him was telling him to fire on that ship, whilst the Starfleet officer was telling him to open a channel. After a few seconds, he made up his mind.

"Open a channel"  he said
