The Nevada emerges from the sun, approaching
the Imperial.
"Incoming hail," Sari
announces.
"On screen."
The face of a middle-aged human appears on
the main viewer, and says,
"Greetings, Captain. Your timing was commendable,
as our metaphasic shields were about to collapse."
"I'm glad we could help. Do you have any
idea why the Romulans attacked?"
"Although this planet is in Federation
space, the Romulans entered orbit. We happened to be in range, and hailed
them. They fired."
"Hmm...it looks like they're interested
in this planet."
"We were on a survey mission here, checking
some of the natural resources. There was a rumor on the planet about a
Tok Utat or something.
"Could it have been the Tox Uthat?
It was a device capable of stopping all nuclear reactions within a star,"
says Sari."but history records
its destruction by Captain Jean-Luc Picard."
"Yes! That was it! Apparently, there have
been rumors that a duplicate was on this planet, and the Romulans are after
it. Perhaps you could find out more from the people themselves if you went
down there."
"Good idea. Comander Chav, prepare an
away team."
"Aye, sir. Sari, Miller, you're with me.
Security Officer Lander, meet us in Transporter Room Three."
