"Glorious," the helmsman said to his companion standing next to him at tactical. "Glorious."<BR>
<BR>
The other two men nodded their heads at his pronouncement, keeping their eyes on their monitor scopes as the debris began to reenter the Oomah Lootmah atmosphere. All were amazed at how easily the Klingon ship was dispatched in their surprise attack. The Klingon escort vessel in formation was destroyed even faster.<BR>
<BR>
"Scan for other vessels," Commander Galan ordered his bridge crew. He certainly did not want them to become distracted by their easy victories in orbit around the planet. "Withdraw out to the inner moon." Standard Romulan procedure, he thought to himself. Stalk, attack, withdraw to monitor for others.<BR>
<BR>
One officer's head popped up towards the ship's captain. "Negative indications of other ships, commander. I am receiving transmissions from the surface in the Klingon language. Sending it down to intelligence for translation and analysis." The crew below decks would report on any useful information.<BR>
<BR>
Galan paced across the cramped bridge area. The Klingons had obviously dispatched a landing party to the surface of the planet. Two ships their size could mean a sizable contingent loose at the human colony. His ship was a scout, with a limited ability to put armed soldiers on the surface. Their sister ship was assumed to be still in route and under communications silence. They had no choice but to gather as much intelligence as possible before their rendezvous.<BR>
<BR>
"Change to orders. Maintain cloak and move to the upper atmosphere into a parallel orbit over the colony. Ensure there is no detection capability operational at the colony before we move too close. They may have defense systems that our scout team did not detect."<BR>
<BR>
Moving slowly, the Romulan ship shimmered across the intervening space towards the lush, green planet. <BR>
