The Continuing Story of Deep Space 2: Page 59
"Damn what now ? ! " Joeri ran to a console next to the one Wim used for the phaserblast, tapped some code-clearances and activated the uncomfortably small vieuwscreen, his Big brother. "OH NO…Jan Roel has escaped and saw a way to take his device with him."
"His device ?"Wim asked startled … "Do you mean that he finished my screening-device that fast ? ! ! And why did he take it with him ? What use does it have ? It is still not tested, hell…, I don't even know if we can gather enough power."
"Well, I hate to bring it to you, Sir, but he didn't just finish it ; he also changed the configuration of the singularity-chamber to create a space-time rupture and capture 'the elder' in the rupture. "Joeri replied.
"A dimensional bomb. Damn, what a fool ! ! ! "Louis yelled… "Is it too late too stop him ? Did he get on a ship yet ? "
"Yeah. But, thanks to the rough design and the size of it, he had to take the USS Gandhi, because of its larger storage facilities. It was just getting an overhaul by the repair-drones and therefore the warpdrive was limited to Warp 2,5 and the plasma containers were at minimum levels. Also, only on two decks is life-support sustained. We have an edge. "Geert picked in.
"Come on "Jan cut them off " To the Ajax. Thomas, two Carolines and Wouter, want some stuff to tell about at the academy ? Come with us ! !"
"YES SIR ! ! ! "They replied as if they were studying that reply for weeks and the bunch: Joeri, Geert, Wim, the four cadets, Jan Theys ran to the turbolift which got them to the space-dock where Arthur was waiting.
"WAIT ! HOLD IT ! "Arthur yelled and so stopped them from getting on the Ajax.
"Adm Necheyev will take us there with the 'Nemesis' She has some …mmmm…things to explain."
"COOL… "The cadets responded with the same harmony, like a chorus. "A ride on an Akira class-ship, awesome ! "
"Nemesis, stand-by for nine to beam up. Geert and Joeri, you stay behind to assist here in Ops. Monitor the events as closely as possible and keep the Ajax powered-up and ready to go immediately after I give the order, use the androids where possible if you are too low on staff. "Necheyev was allways cold and short in her commands and they knew wisely not to dispute with her… "Enable "…and a blue glinstering light surrounded them, to end three seconds later in the transporter-room of the Nemesis.
"Bridge…Necheyev here. Track transpondersignal or warpsignature from the 'Gandhi' and start pursuit immediately."
"Acknowledged " was the almost immediate, and sober, reply that boasted trough the comm-system.
"Follow me to my ready-room for some updates "And the group followed its female leader as a flock of sheep, constantly admiring the engineering skills of the Starfleet designers.
