"Alarms on homefront"

[Tovan 0]

The alarms blarred on all decks of the T'Pa, the lights blinked on and off. It disturbed Tovek's sleep. He jumped to his feet and hurried out of his quarters towards the bridge. Like his last visit the bridge officers were darting every where like scared baby catfish.

 

"What is happening?" Tovek asked out loud.

 

Captain E'Shok was at one of the helm consoles instructing the Ensign next to him. He caught Tovek's despirate tone in his voice and turned.

 

"We're trying our best to get back to earth, we're attempting to exceed our maxium warp." E'Shok's calm voice spoke.

 

The T'Pa is indeed exceeding its warp limits, it was only capable of warp 7 but the helm registers 7.4. Why was the Captain this eager to get back to earth? Has something happened?

 

"Why?"

 

"There's been an attack on the dry dock. Klingons."

 

"what? Klingons?" Tovek was as confused as ever now, the Andorian threat seems to be simmering down now this? What did the klingons have in fear of one starship. The building of this ship is escalating the tension between the major powers in this sector.

 

The T'Pa cruised towards earth, 30 more seconds then it would be at their footsteps. The ship's hull is begining to collapse. Tovek stood by E'Shok and watched the screen.

 

"How many ships?"

 

"One, it eluded the tasks force's sensor's as we were shifting patrol checkpoints. It snuck into the Docking port and docked, we're getting casuality reports from earth now. 17 dead."

 

"This is outrage. How many Klingon warriors?"

 

"We don't know, i'm having 3 ships meeting us at the dry dock, hang on to your seat my friend."

 

Tovek nodded and grab hold of Helm's armrest as the T'Pa nearly flying it self into oblivion. Time ticked and the shakings stopped. A shake then the T'Pa was there. Along with 3 other ships, proceeded to the Dry docks. Andorians didn't matter now, only the klingons were.

 

"Security team to the dry dock and hurry, phasers on heavy stun, i want those klingons alive and held for their actions." E'Shok yelled into the com.

 

The T'Pa turned to fit the auxiliary docking port and a hissing sound then a clank as it docks with the dry dock. Vulcan Security officers accompanied by E'Shok entered the dry dock, to find the Klingons.
