"First Officer's log Ratchet."
"Stardate 2389."
"It has been two weeks since we rescued Clank, at the same time."
"The USS Verity has remained stationary on the border of the Polaris Galaxy awaiting Ambassador Spock. One of the most decorated ambassadors of the Federation and Starfleet and legendary member of the first Federation Starship Enterprise, in order to make a first contact with the intergalactic government of Polaris."
"Clank has also adapted to us, to be a robot, a machine. He shows a spirit of curiosity and human emotions, something I would have wished is that he and Data could have met. The crew loves spending time with him."
Ratchet was sitting in the captain's chair as he looked at the viewscreen "Lieutenant Rhys. Any news."
The Andorian shook his head "Nothing on sensors sir." Ratchet was surprised how obedient he was, he looks older and his age indicated he had served longer on the USS Verity.
"Sir... Something just came up on sensors. It's a unknown ship." Hearing that he looked serious "Is it in visual range?"
"In five minutes sir." Rhys replied seriously as Ratcher turned to look at the Vulcan officer "Chu'lak. Contact the unknown ship on all frequencies."
She typed but received nothing "No response, sir." The Lombax swiveled the seat forward.
"Sir, the ship is accelerating. It just entered visual range."
Ratchet stood looking at the screen "On screen."

Korsh typed his console "Is charging weapons!"
Hearing that Ratchet gave order "Shields up, yellow alert."
VROOM!
The ship tremble as Ratchet looked serious "Damage?" Rhys typed seriously "Shields 97%.... Recovering."
Ratchet grunted in annoyance "Call her back Lieutenant Chu'lak."
"No answer in the jailing, sir." The Vulcan looked at the viewscreen where the ship opened fire again shaking the ship.
