"Aye, Captain," Alika  replied  quickly. She was  already coordinating 
reports  from Beta Fleet,  and added a call to RAdmiral  Garroway.

<< Endeavor, Endeavor, this is Meridian, do you  read?

>> Meridian, Endeavor. Go ahead.  <<

<< Thank you Endeavor. Capt Finney would like to  speak with RAdmiral 
Garroway regarding possible boarding procedures  of the remaining Romulan vessel. 
Would the Admiral have instructions  or give such
permissions? >>

>> Negative, Meridian,  no boarding protocols for this mission have been 
established.   What has Captain Kurisawa said on the matter? <<

Alika  rerouted the comms to a three-way conference with Constitution and  
Endeavor, and asked, << Has Constitution prepared any kind  of boarding 
protocols for the remaining Romulan ship?  >>

<< Endeavor, Meridian. This is Constitution. We have  sensor damage   
preventing us full disclosure on the status  of the Romulan ship. We have hull 
breaches under repair on decks C-D  and a hull fracture  in the starboard 
nacelle. No vital systems  damage, but DC teams  and additional help from our 
Security  personnel are reestablishing atmospheric containment on the saucer  
and hull techs are already in EV repairing the nacelle shell. At this  time, 
we do not feel we can spare crew to mount any kind of personnel  assault 
force. Capt Kurisawa says 'let them fry or freeze over there,  as long as they 
aren't shooting at us.'  >>






<< Affirmative Constitution. Standby please. >> "I  guess that's a 'no'," 
Alika said to Capt Finney, with a bit of  uncertainty.

Rog stood by as the conversations were going on. He  nodded and said, 
"Admiral, wouldn't it be a good idea to at  least try to capture this  Rommie? We 
could learn so much about them,  things that we could use against them in 
the future."

>> This  is Garroway," came the reply.  "Captain Finney, I concur with 
Captain  Kurisawa.  They just hit a self-destruct in front of you,  and the 
report I read on your waystation showed a love of  booby-traps.  /If/ we can get 
more information on them, we'll get it  some other way. <<

Rog had to admit that the admiral was  right about booby traps being a 
Rommie modus operandi. He replied, "Yes  sir, very well."

>> And Finney, be advised: my Science  Officer is picking up a lot of  
ghost signals from our vantage. He  thinks it may be radiation bounce from the 
nebula off other cloaked  ships.  Just because it's visible, doesn't 
mean it's the last  one.  I'm not sure what their endgame is, but we're not 
out of the  woods, yet.  Send that to all remaining Beta ships.  <<

"Very good sir, will do." Looking at Redlin, he said,  "Alert all Beta 
Group ships Redlin. There may be more bad guys out  there."







"Aye  aye, Capt. Immediately Sir." Alika scrambled and encrypted a separate 
 individual message and sent them out to over 121 separate, individual  
points. Some points were ships, some were empty coordinates in space, but  to 
Romulan sensors they were indistinguishable from one another. There  could be 
3 ships and 118 ghosts, or 121 ships en route to the Ghost  Nebula.
