Commander sherad was nervous. He acepted that he would not survive this battle. He was fine with that. If he had to go out he wanted to strike a hard blow to his enemy at the same time. He feard that he might fail. His death might be in veign. He wanted some kind of victory. He would have it. One way or another.
The posioning of vega would be aceptible. It would be the rallying cry on both sides. To the humans a kind of remember vega mantra. The romulons would use it for propinganda perpouses as a building point. He might be awarded by the preator postumously mayby even by the emparor. He would not be there to witness it but oh well.

“Stay on them kell !”styles said. “Aye sir! “He said. The x tried to catch up with the hostile.
The hostile deverted every ounce of power to speed for the ship. The weapon would be turned into one gigentic dirty bomb.
The x commander would not pull out all the stops such as what serad did. They would do what had to be done within reason.

“We are about to be attacked! I want every ship in the sky. We are on full alert!”governor ronald egder said. “Orions? Nusicans! ” the aid asked . “No romulons!”he said. “Who?” The aid said.
The x found the ship and fired. The vessel was hit. “We bearly scrached the paint!” Boyd reported.
The romulon ship reterned fire on the x. The x was hit. “Shields holding!” Tivora reported. The ship deployed canisters. The canasters hit the ship. The x fired a lazer burst.
“Target that explosion and fire!”styles ordered. The ship hit the explosions. One of the nichelle was hit. There was exstensive damage all over the ship.
The ship fired every last torpedo it had. The x tried to dodge them. They dodged most of them but the ship was hit. Several decks had been sealed off.
The x fired again. The lazer hit the agresive ship. The ship was hit. The bridge exploded. Serad had survived.
Serad knew that his time was already pass. He was going out with a bag. He sat the ship on auto pilot. He riged the ship on a colision course. The ship headed for the x.
The x pulled up. The x fired and ran though the wake. They plowed though. The ship was determined to servive. This could not be the end.
The x came out like a pheonix from the ashes. The ship was batered and bloody but intact. It came though on to the other side.

We have an opotunity to gain more knowledge . Risk comes with any quest. Just as it did when eropian setilers came to the new world. I believe this is our destiny.

“To the outor rim and beyond !” Part 13
Sense the first warp test flight on earth, humanity began to experiment with starships. A fleet or freighter were built. Trade routes were set up thoughout the human sector and beyond.
Ships set up for defense were also built. There were several agentcies involved in that aspect. The planet earth was in negotiations to develop a united space service. There were exploration vessels and colonial.vessels as well.
This was an unprecidented time. The human sector was under attack. The call was sent out to defend humanity from impending attack.
The call was answered. Ships arived to defend the sector and stop the invasion. The ships imidietly struck the romulin swarm.
The romulan vessels hit back on the human fleet. While humans had fought the orions and nusicans, this was different ! This was a real space battle. this was the test of humanity and there quest to go out into space.
The humans tried to block the romulons from advencing beyond what they had. Then they hoped to push them out of there space.
Styles felt like he understood better how to fight the romulons.the romulond ambition was bigger then there level of technology. They had the ships. Right now it was an even match. Styles hoped with one tiny mistake,that could all change. Styles was watching for it.
Obored the romulan vessel witch first discovered the humans,the commander was very frustrated. The commander wanted a quick swift victory. That was not happening. Not at all. The humans were holding there own. It seams they adapt quickly to circumstances. They were definitely doing that.
Perizau wanted a longer shakedown. He wished the first mission was not a space battle. He wanted a qieter mission like scientific scaning but there was not to be. Perizau did not like that the captain and sr officers tried to do the inposible and expected the enginers to keep the ship together.
So far the ship held together . He was stil not sure humanity was ready for this. This did not help the case. Perizau really disliked the exploration thing. It seam to grow.
boyd found a glich in the flagship of the hostile swarm. Boyd exploited it. The ship fired on the flag. The flagship was in trouble.
The primus had failed the preator. The romulons would not win this day. They would learn from this incident and do better next time. It would not be the primus.
Commander sherad got the order for the fleet to withdraw. The commander refused to follow the orders. He was not giving up,not yet.
“Sir the fleet is leaving! “Tivora reported. “Will they return again?”shumar asked . “Yes but in a few years. “Steveren said.”great something to look foward to!”kelly w said.
“We have a problem ! The advanced scout is gone! He is on course for vega colony. I detected a mess amount of energy transfered. They are transfering all non esential system even life suport and a chance to return home!” Tivora said.
“Its a typical romulon ploy! If they can’t win they go what you call scorched earth!”steveren said. “We are the fastest ship! Kell set course for vega!”he said.
“They are going to fire what they use to call.a dirty bomb?”dr. Kelly said. “My gosh! “Shumar said.
The x 1000 went to warp. Time was of the esence. The race was on. While the ship could not destroy the vega colony it could wipe out a mess section of the colonies. The colony could colapse. Not a victory but revenge,spite. It had to be stoped! The race was on.

“I have the human vessel !we will be in weapons range shortly!” The gunner said. “Excellent !” The primus said.
The romulan scout vessel had joined up with the swarm. The commander disliked playing second fiddle especially to the field primus. He and the primus had been rivals. He was displeased with having to be unsder any one especially him.

The swarm serounded the x1000. They opened fire on the human vessel. Styles could not believe that this was happenng. Was there voyage over before it even started?
Steveren found a soft spot in one of the ships and took advantage of it. Boyd fired on it.the aft ship was hit.
The ship was hit. Styles thought to himself mayby we are not ready. Mayby we should go back to earth and in ten years or so try again. Then he thought now is the time.
The x 1000 fired back on the romulons. “I have an idea ! “Steveren said. Styles was not sure about how much they had trusted steveren. So far he had proven to be a key aset. They bearly knew him. Yet at this point there was no reason to doubt him.
The x fired on the aft vessel. The orther ships tried to cover the wounded bird. The x fired on the rest of the fleet.
The x fired voleys on all of the ships. The x was hit. The decks afected by it was sealed off and evacuated.
The x went towards a nearby ship and depreserized an airlock.they fired on the area. It got out of the way. The x fired lazers and projectiles on the warship. The warship was on fire.
Two vessels came at the x. The x came at the warships. They fired every thing they had. The x sped away.
Orther ships came at them. The x came at them. The x fired on the ships. The x knew that they would not make it but all they had to do was not yield. They had to hold out until the rest of the fleet arived.
Suddenly the earth fleet arived.they fired on the romulin ships. The whole game had changed. What would happen next?

“I was able to boost lazer efentcy. With steveren help i created another weapons port. It is a repulser beam. It is designed to deplete the shields . It is a slow process. It could be an aset!” Boyd said.

“Will our friends arive in time?”trajaten asked. “They will be hear as soon as they can. This is a turning point. In what direction i don’t know.

“They are called romulans. They are a regional power with asperations to expand beyond there borders!”steverin said.
” I have heard of this race. They had been content to govern teritories close to home. The new crop of leaders seam to favor expansion. “Tivora said.
” no one knows what a romulan looks like. In battle they don’t alow themselves to be captured.if they lose they destroy themselves. They use autimated drone ships and robots to supliment there fleet as well as using concured people as canon fotter. “Steverin said.
“What brought you hear?”tivora asked.”i was a prospector. While on a case i came on a romulon raid. I saw an attack on an ithimite convoy. I have been folowing them from a safe distence. Look the romulons are on the prowl. They are the next emurging power in the qudrent!”steverin said.
“There technology lags behind several orther powers. There goal of expansion would be checked by the tholiens ,sheliek,breen,Klingon and andorians and orhers. They are not a threat beyond there general vicinity. ” tivora said.
“They adapt quickly ! They are very inovative and creative. They are good at thinking on there feet. I liken them to the ancient iconians. Iconians were no one! Every one thought the menthars would be the big power. The iconians develped the gateway. I am convinced that the romulans are going to be a major player in the future ! “Steveren said.
“They are a threat to humanity. We cannot continue our exploration program without runing into the romulans!” Styles said.
” I want to get the ship repared as soon as possible. “Styles said. “We are puling out all the stops to do just that sir !”chief engineer perizau said. “Use whoever you need! ” styles said. “Thank you sir!” The chief enginer said. With that the meating was ajurned.

“They are called romulans. They control a good size empire. They are zenophobic. They were content in keeping a tight lid on there own space.recently they caught the expansion buz. They have begun to spread out. I suspect they will keep going.”hw said.
” in order to expend they will have to deal with us. Our space is right in there way. Sounds to me like a war in the making. “Bryce said.

“This is not good. Not good at all.perhaps i should asist!” The pilot said. “That would not be reccomended!”the computer said.”i did not ask you!” The pilot said. The computer did not say anything .
The computor was right. The pilot often did not listen to reason. He ordered the ship to head for the battle.

Either they were servive the battle or be destroyed. If they were destroyed,the alien commander would probably order more ships to join him.invasion. if they stoped him,they might have time to perpare.
Shumar went to the ship. He was able to navigate himself to the atomic weapons port. A scaning device detected him.
A lazer be came at him.he fired on it with a hand lazer. He seared off the beam. Before he could enjoy his success ,another beam came at him.
“This is just not my day!” Shumar said to himself. Shumar tried to evade the orther lazer. He decided to pus his lazer on overload. He threw the lazer at the port. He got out of the way. The lazer hit the port. The lazer beam was deactivated.
Now the hard part he thought to himself . He hoped there were no more lazer ports. If ge was he might be toast this time. One problem at a time he suposed.

“Hedging your bets?”styles asked. “A little bit! !”He said. “I am under no ilusion that this is going to be easy. I am cogniscent of the fact that we could lose and lose badly. We could lose every thing ! We may not return. What if it can be done? What if we can sucesfully go where no one can ventured prevuysly. I have the dream of stars i gues!” Styles said. “I do not but i hope you are correct!” The enginer said.
