[Galaxy] [New-Darwin] 14 August 2161 :: NPC Log :: Romulan Evader Decimus :: "Patience for Fortune"

[Kate Nicholson]

<> High above the surface of the lonely planet of Gamma Sagittarri II, home
of New Darwin Colony, a Klingon battle cruiser keeps watch as the majority
of her crew swarms the Colony, overwhelming the settlement and its people.
The Colony¹s Sol-class destroyer is no match for the heavy cruiser and has
taken refuge in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant GS-V, waiting and
watching. Yet unknown, plans are moving toward an even more deadly
offensive. .....


Bridge, Romulan Evader Decimus


"What are your orders, commander?"

His subordinate's voice was a sharp reminder that he needed to address his
crew.  The depth of thought had almost consumed him, but some kind of action
was required.

"Yes.  It is time," Galan said in a definitive voice.  He turned to the
bridge crew with a decisive click of his boot heels.

"Continue silent operations, move into attack position behind the Klingon
ship.  If there are more, we will move off and deal with them after the
first ship is destroyed."

Smiles were exchanged between the men at the command pedestal, as they
activated controls that would alert their comrades all over the ship of the
coming battle.  On a ship such as theirs, the alert klaxon was only
activated through a complex set of cooperative controls.  On this ship,
Romulan warriors went into battle silently.

Veering off their original course, the Decimus accelerated and moved towards
the distant planet that had drawn the ire of the surly and uncouth Klingons.

-------------------

Soft ripples of distortion flowed across the 'unseen' warship as it closed
in on the unsuspecting aggressor from aft.  Without warning, the distortion
began to coalesce into a solid form, and two, bright red masses of energy
began to glow on both sides of the forward section of the hull.  The ship
approached to point blank range, as both weapons fired into the Klingon.

Staggering with the impact, the Klingon ship rapidly rolled on its side, and
dashed for the planet surface.

"They are penetrating the upper atmosphere, Commander," the helm officer
informed Galan.  "Shall we pursue?"

Galan shook his head.  "No, let our weapons do the work for us."

Two warheads, unleashed from the Decimus' belly, began to chase the enemy
ship across the sky over Oomah Lootmah.
