Joan couldn't believe what was going on. She got the message about the Hope, and hurried along to see how to prepare for this. She, then got another message telling her she would be the captain of the mission. She couldn't believe her ears, and she had to sit down for a little bit. She pinches herself, and utters an ouch. Leena opens one eye, chuckles, and then closes the eye again. Joan ignores her friend, and goes to pack.
Later she watches the Hope dock, and she wonders who the crew is. She pulls out a padd, and leans against a wall to read up, knowing it will be some time until they are ready for her to board.
Finally she is able to board, and she goes to her quarters dropping off her bag. She then catches the nearest turbolift.
She enters the bridge, and starts to walk to the center. "I think the kiddie pond is below decks." She heard, and almost bristled to it. She didn't like it when people commented on her age like that. Instead she ignored it and took the captain's chair hearing a couple of gasps. She taps her commbadge.
=^=Briefing in ten minutes, all senior staff.=^=
She taps a few controls on her console, and pulls out another padd.
Joan was sitting at the head of the table looking over the crew as they arrived.
"Welcome, crew, we will be spending some time together. Our mission is to make sure an ambassador is transported to a location only she knows. Once we have her and the coordinates, we will be setting out. Any questions or comments?" She says starting only when everyone is present and seated.

Zhukarak was just as surprised as everyone else on the bridge that this very young looking Commander First Class would be Captaining their next mission. He had seen many strange things since joining Starfleet to which he could add this one.
The briefing was succinct.
"Yes Captain. When and where are we to pick up our Ambassador?"
Zhukarak was ready to get this mission going.

Kuragh sat quietly at the Conn. He was running a serious of diagnostics to ensure the ship was at peak performance. He had never been much of a warrior not in the terms of combat, and for that he lived a life of disgrace among his people. He consoled himself with his own way to sustain his honour. His battle was to be the best Starfleet Officer. To be the best pilot. This way he could honour his heritage regardless of what his peers felt.
Kuragh finished his checks and turned to face the new senior staff - McCormick and Hrisvalar. "Excuse me sirs but will the Ambassador be joining us here or do we have co-ordinates to meet her. I will need to plan routes and flight paths."
TAG You guys at the top LOL

"The ambassador should be joining us here. Are there any more questions?" She says.
(anyone?)
After the briefing she dismisses the crew, and notices they all scatter back to their stations. She gets up slowly, and walks onto the bridge. She feels her nerves surfacing, and again she tries to calm herself. She remembers the doctor's orders, and decides to do as he instructed, at least for now. She looks around surveying the bridge, and then sits down in her chair.
A few moments later she finds a female enter the bridge. "Who are you?" She says guessing this is the ambassador, but wanting a confirmation.
"I am Ambassador Torlok, and I do believe you are my ride, captain. A bit young for your rank, aren't you?" She said, and Joan decided to ignore that part.
"Welcome aboard ambassador. Helm we are ready, take us out." She said feeling a bit strange giving the order to move out. She wonders if this is how it is always going to feel, or if she would get used to this.

Shris notice the ambassdor come on the bridge. "Oh great, another dignitary to guard, just what I didn't need right now. Everyone's always wants me to do everything" Shris thought to himself.

The ship had left its moorings and had floated it's way out of spacedock under the skillful hands of Kuragh. Once the yhad made it past the inner circle of the shipping lanes, they were ready to embark on their mission.
Zhukarak caught Kuragh's look. Before Kuragh could get a word out, Zhukarak spoke addressing Captain McCormick and Ambassador Torlok.
"May I inquire as to what our destination shall be?"

"You may, but it must be to the ambassador, I don't have the coordinance. I was told where she was going was to be kept a secret, even from us. We will only be transporting her safely there, after that we are to leave, someone else will pick her up when she is done." She says looking to the ambassador for a response to this.
"Yes, we will be going to the Romata Sector. That is all you need to know for now. As we get closer to that I will give more information. Notify me when we are close, until then I will be relaxing in my quarters." She says and moves to leave. Joan watches the woman enter the turbolift, and she thought she was a bit arrogant. She hoped she was wrong, and not wanting to make any enemies, she let the woman go without saying anything.
"You heard her, make for the Romata Sector, warp six." She said quickly not wanting to show her true feelings.

"Aye sir. Plotting course of Romatta Sector" Kuragh replied.
He quickly pulled up the sub systems and initailised the pre warp fire sequence. At the same time he pulled back on impulse until the two met. With a smooth thud the Hope leapt in to Warp.
"Course laid in and we're on our way" he noted to no-one in particular.
He remained at his post until the gamma watch came on duty and then relinquished the conn to Lt MacArthurs. With free time on his hands he decided to visit the holodeck. He ran a few calisthetics programmes in all of which he fared badly against the computer generated enemies and dejectedly went to Ten Forward.
There he spied Willians. "Good evening doctor" he greeted with a friendly but toothy grin.

After the course was set in it was time for Gamma shift to take over the bridge. There wasn't much to do at the time anyways, so Captain McCormick and Zhukarak relinquished their command chairs.
"Shall we go to the messhall, Captain?"
Zhuk stood, waiting at the entrance to the turbolift.
"Yes, I am a bit hungry and mingling with the crew might be good for their morale."
Together they entered the turbolift to be taken to the messhall. Upon reaching the messhall, they were greeted by some of the other senioor staff members. Dr. Williams offered them to join their table. It became apparent to Zhuk that not everyone was quite happy about this.

Joan notices some crew are inviting her over, and she smiles trying to look friendly. She notices the other member at the table, and he looks less than thrilled. She walks that way.
"Hey, I appreciate the shout out, but I would prefer a table more near the windows. I am going that way, feel free to join if you would like." She says loud enough for many to hear, and walks to the replicator first. She gets a few favorites, and heads for an empty table near the window.
"So, what brings you to this sector?" She says as Zhuk sits down near her. She wonders why anyone would leave their homeworld and come here if they have something going for them. She wonders if he is anything like her in this situation, but decides not to ask too many question for the time being. She hopes her age doesn't make anyone uncomfortable, but she doesn't feel like talking about that either.
(Zhuk)
They are joined shortly. "Welcome to our little table." She says quickly before either of the table's members can say anything.
(Anyone?)

Kuragh declined to join the Doctor at the senior officers table prefering the solitude in which to gather his thoughts. He sipped at his prune juice and gazed out of the window at the vanishing stars. So many suns, burning with such vibrance, so many worlds with so many people, it overwhelmed him... the majesty and the awesome nature of the universe. He noticed a tiny flash of light off towards the starboard bow. He gazed towards it recognising instantly the tell tale emission as a ship exiting from warp. Within a few moments, if the ship was on an intercept, he expected to see it.
He stood and moved closer to the window. He felt the deck move slightly and the stars alter. The Hope had changed course. It was standard practice to maintain distance if an unknown vessel approached. The manouver however didnt seem to have worked. The tiny speck that had caused the equally miniscule flash of light was looming larger and larger. Kuragh calculated they were travelling at full impulse and would be fully visible in moments. He cleared his throat and addressed the Captains table, "Excuse me sirs but are we expecting company?" Captain McCormick turned in her chair, "Not that I know of Why?" Kuragh pointed out the window as the ship pulled along side.
It was long and thin. It was like a needle, sharp and pointy, its rear was bulky and cylindrical from it ran a pair of flexed wings that curved beneath it. It bore at its centre a pair of nacelles and at their tip what appeared to be disruptor cannons. It was pale lilac in overall colour with a splash of markings on the nose. A black star orbiting a field of flowers. Whilst only half the size of the Hope it had an omnious bearing, one that disquited Kuragh despite his Klingon resolve. Captain McCormick was on her feet now and had already tapped her comm badge. "Bridge Report." zzzzzt. "Bridge this is the Captain. Report" zzzzzt. Now Zhuk tried but he was met by the same static. "The comm lines seem jammed" He noted. "But why would they jam us" Kuragh asked as the answer suddenly dawned on him. He had no time to relay his thoughts as the ship shook violently. The unknown ship raced forward. Purple lances of disruptor fire shot from its cannons striking the Hopes shields like a battering ram. The shields flared barely absorbing the energy. "Battle Station" Captain McCormick shouted to all the crew present, "Get to your posts"

Joan couldn't believe the visitors, and she didn't like not being able to reach the bridge. She shouted for everyone to get to their posts, and quickly headed out for the bridge herself.
She found the turbolift crowded, but she expected that. Once on the bridge she looked around to see who was there.
"Ops, hail them. Kuragh, back us off as much as you can. Security, find out if we have all of our crew and make sure we know what that ship is capable of." She saiysissuing orders, and hoping for some answers as well.
(Tag Ops, Security, Kuragh)
"Good to know, thanks for the update. Keep on trying to hail them." She says and looks to see if she forgot anything.
"Is there anything you might know on this vessel, or any advice you might have being your older?" She says whisper like to her commander.
(Zhuk)

"Is there anything you might know on this vessel, or any advice you might have being your older?"
Zhukarak couldn't believe his ears. His antennae tensed up a bit as he was wondering for a split moment ~Why was she here?~ , but just as quickly got back to the reality of the situation.
Quickly checking his terminal, changing through the many displays as he had access to tactical, science, ops, security, and all others, he ascertained that there was no identifying information for this vessel.
"No, Captain. It is an unindentified vessel. The only thing that we can be certain of is that the Ambassador may be in danger. We should have her come to the bridge."
No sooner had those words escaped Zhuk's lips, the turbolift doors opened and the Ambassador stepped forward onto the bridge.
"What is going on here? Who is attacking us?"

Kuragh was somewhat discombulated by thisrapid turn of events. He had little time to consider their predicament. He tried as best he could to evade the attacking ship but it was by far more manouverable and faster than the Hope.
Slowly level by level the Hopes shields dropped. "Shields down to 10% we're getting gaps " Shris alerted,
"Helm get us out of here." McCormick ordered,
"I m trying ma'am" Kuragh grunted through gritted teeth as he wrestled the Hope through a series of tight turns and loops.
"Shields down" Shris reported as the Hope dipped violently to one side.
"I m detecting multiple transports" Merit reported from Ops.
"Zhuk you and Shris deal with our guests" McCormick ordered "And Kuragh try and put that moon between us and them, it may give engineering enough time to raise shields and then jump to warp."
There was a chorus of Aye sirs as people followed the outlined orders.

Joan hoped the ambassador wouldn't be needed on the bridge, but unfortunately that is the best way to protect her, to have her in sight.
"We are being attacked by an unknown vessel, please take a seat next to me. Helm evasive manuvers, tactical fire at will, security deal with our new visitors, and immediately." She says, and notices the ambassador doesn't say two words as she takes a seat as directed.
"Show me the vessel, maybe I can identify it." The ambassador says quickly.
"On screen." Joan says curtly, and is getting annoyed again, which she doesn't understand. She doesn't know what it is about this woman, but for some reason the ambassador gets under her skin.
The screen shows the enemy ship, and the ambassador gasps. "They are my enemies. I would guess that is Torik's ship. He was the last one to threaten me before I left home. It wouldn't make sense though, oh well." She says and trails off into her own thoughts.
Joan is completely confused on who this Torik guy might be exactly to the woman, but she doesn't ask.
"Report." Joan calls out wanting some good news.

"Send security details to meet them, and make sure they disappear." She says sternly trying to get the point across. She doesn't like it when people drop by unannounced, especially those who force their way onto the ship. She focuses back on her surroundings.
Suddenly there was a report. "Captain we have more visitors, three ships off starboard. Oh wait, one of them has just registered as a Federation ship, wait make that two of them." She hears, and wonders what is going on. Three Federation ships against two unknown vessels, she thought, and wondered what was going on here.
"Ops hail them." She says quickly hoping they realize what is going on here.
(Ops)
"This is Captain Joan McCormick, how may we help you?" She says and looks straight at the view screen as she sits up a little straighter in the command chair.
"Well, captain, we were thinking you might need our help, unless you have things under control here?" The male captain said, and she noticed the other one. It wasn't a captain at all, but a female admiral.
"Yes, I do believe you need help, and I do believe you will be recieving some new orders soon. I am Admiral Shillington, and we have been ordered here. I am here to make sure that the orders aren't questioned." She said giving her authorative voice to this situation. Joan gives the cut voice signal.
"New orders? Do we have anything from Starfleet Command?" She says wondering what is going on here.
"Captain the third ship is also Federation, and the unknown vessel has left, fastest warp possible." She hears again, and wonders which officer was talking. She takes her eyes off the viewscreen looking over at ops.
(OPS)
"I see, then I would like to see that message, send it to my console here." She says, and finds the new message. She starts to read, and raises an eyebrow. "Resume voice."
"Well, what do you say to that?" The admiral says giving Joan a look saying 'you-just-try-to-question-that'. Joan didn't like it, but she knew she had to obey this.
"The orders will be obeyed. Expect us within the hour." She says, and gives the end message signal, which looks similar to the cut signal with only one change.
"Security, are there any signs of the intruders? Zhuk, the bridge is yours until we get back. Ambassador you are with me." She says quickly and moves to leave the bridge after the report.
(Security)

Zhuk was quite perplexed himself. Joan had a look on her face as if she had just been slapped. To Zhuk's surprise, she didn't even share the new orders with him.
As she rose and strode off the bridge, she relinquished command to him. "Aye, Captain." He was very curious as to what was going on.
