Story:Star Trek: Sovereign/A New Mission/Chapter 3

The Vor'cha-Class attack cruiser fires at the Sovereign hitting her forward shields.

On the bridge sparks erupt from the ceiling.

"Klingon Attack Cruiser this is Captain Brianna Martin of the Federation Starship USS Sovereign, we're here at the request of the Klingon High Council and Chancellor Martok," Captain Martin says as she tries to speak with the Klingon vessel.

Then a huge shower of sparks erupt from the ceiling.

"Stand down, or we will retaliate," Captain Martin says as she tries to get them to back off the ship.

Then a shower of sparks erupt from the MSD as Commander Mason turns to her.

"I don't think they're getting the message." Commander Mason says as he looks at her.

She turns to him.

"Then let's try some nonverbal communication. Akolo, evasive pattern beta six. Jamie, disable their weapons." Captain Martin says as she gives orders.

Sovereign comes about and fires a phaser beam at the Klingon vessel.

On the bridge Jamie smiles.

"Their phaser banks have been disabled." Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at her console then at Captain Martin.

Captain Martin gets up from her chair.

"Hail them." Captain Martin says as she turns to Lieutenant Mitchell.

She inputs commands into the console.

"Their responding." Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at her console then at Captain Martin.

The viewer changes to the bridge of the Klingon vessel.

"I am Captain Brianna Martin of the Federation Starship USS Sovereign we're not here to fight you we are here at the request of your government." Captain Martin says as she looks at the viewer.
