"The Blockade"

[Tovan 0]

Tovek watched the computer screens as Captain E'Shok and his Team went into the dry dock to find out the situation. Tovek was concerned for his friend's safetly but he knew it was his place to lead the search and rescue operation, since the subcommander was on his own mission, he was the logical choice.

 

"Ambassador sir, I think you need to see this." The Tactical officer said, his tone was deep. Tovek knew something was afoot, he walked to the tactical display, it only confirmed his suspecisions.

 

"I know, they're blockading the system, Subcommander's shuttle is trapped. This is falling apart, klingons here, Andorians there and humans are caught in the middle. How many ships do we still have in the system?"

 

"16, but we're still out numbered. If the Andorian fleet decides to invade Earth, we won't be able to stop all the ships. And sir, the carrier is their flag ship."

 

The largest Andorian ship in the fleet. Tovek thought. They were apparently Out gunned and out numbered, 3 fold. Why has the Andorian military decide that now was the time to strike? Was it true that they did destroy the T'Kel? But why? It was only one ship, destroying it would mean more reinforcements.

 

"Give me a Channel to Vulcan high command." Tovek said to the Lieutenant siting at Ops.

 

"Hold that channel and monitor the Andorian Blockade, if that shuttle comes under fire, gather the fleet and prepare to Engage." Tovek said. He knew E'Shok would have done the same, but he is not here. The situation was getting worse.

 

"Channel holding Ambassador sir, ready to transmitt when ordered." The Lt. Said swiftly.

 

"Good" Tovek said and stared at the screen, at the blockade.

 

"Your move."
