Return for Innocents (III) |
“Martin to Orion.” He shouted into his communicator. “Orion - Lantrys here.” - “Have you detected three people coming out of this complex a few minutes ago?” - “Sure. They were heading south.” - “Do you still have them on sensors?” - “No, but since they were no Romulans, it shouldn’t be to hard to find them.” - “Well, why didn’t you warn me about that? Ah, nevermind. Just point us to their current location.” - “450 meters to the south then turn left. The third structure on the right hand side.” - “Thanks. Martin out!” As they sped down the streets, Martin and the others were asking themselves, who could be so bold to kill the upper half of the Romulan empire. They reached the intersection, where the away team had to turn left. As soon as they peeked around the corner, they were surrounded by Phaser- and Disruptorbeams. The away team stood back hastily. “What in the name of Sir Isaac Newton is this?”, O’Reilly was the first who found his speech. “That’s what we are here to find out, I guess.”, Martin replied rather quiet, as if he had expected, what had happened. “First of all, we have to convince them, that we are not what we look like.” - “You mean, we have to tell the Romulans, that we are no Romulans? This is as close to suicide, as it can get.” - “Don’t worry. Trust me!” Martin stepped around the corner, with his hands up in the air. He spoke very loud and clear: “My name is Craig Martin and I am the commanding officer of the Federation starship Orion, Designation NCC-63742.” The other romulan looking non-Romulans lowered their weapons and seemed to check, if what the Captain had said, was the truth. After a few moments one of them shouted: “OK Captain, you can pass!” The three from Orion went towards the structure, where the guards were standing, still with their weapons at level.
