It was January 12th, and a new day. The sun was beaming down on the HQ and the team was up and doing checks of the bearcats. Well, all except Arthur, they were in their office doing paperwork.

A few moments later, as Arthur was doing paperwork, a message came over the radio.
"Alpha Echo One, this is Martinel. We have a priority one message for you." Said Captain Martinel
"Ten-Four, send it to my office." Said Arthur

The message was then sent to Arthur's Office.
"Arthur, this is General Winter. We have received a distress signal from the U.S.S. Tolstoy. They don't have any movement systems or weapons with Unidentified Ships closing in at Warp Twenty." Said General Winter
"Copy that. I'll gather the team, and we'll head there now. Is there anything else I need to know about this rescue mission?" Said Arthur
"One last thing. You'll need to go through a Kottiha inhabited part of space to get there." Said General Winter
"Ok. Understood. Also, off of that, I'm going to guess that the unidentified ships are Kottiha." Said Arthur

Arthur then gathered the Alpha Echo Team, and they beamed up to the Alpha Echo Enterprise.

"Lay in a course to the U.S.S. Tolstoy Jas." Said Arthur
"Course is layed in Captain." Said Jas
"Engage, Warp Factor Forty." Said Arthur

The Alpha Echo Enterprise raced to the USS Tolstoy, but before they could get there, a Kottiha Ship spotted them and started to open fire on the Alpha Echo Enterprise.

"Red Alert! Battle Stations! Lock on and fire phasers." Ordered Arthur

The Kottiha Ship was quickly immobilised, but it could still fire.

"Lock on and fire a torpedo." Ordered Arthur

KABOOOOM

The Kottiha Ship had been destroyed.
"Stand down Red Alert. Go to Amber Alert." Ordered Arthur

"Continue our course to the U.S.S. Tolstoy at Warp Factor Forty." Ordered Arthur
The team then continued to the USS Tolstoy under an Amber Alert.

As they got halfway there all of a sudden...
"Captain! All systems except scanning, weapons, and movement are going haywire!" Yelled Will

"Red Alert! Ready weapons and scan for Ships." Ordered Arthur in a slightly panicked voice
"No ships found!" Said James
"Did you scan for cloaked?" Asked Arthur
"Negative. Scanning for cloaked ships now!" Said James
"There's a Kottiha Ship of our starboard bow!" Yelled James
"Lock on and fire all weapons at the ship!" Yelled Arthur

KABOOOOM

The 2nd Kottiha Ship had been destroyed.
"Stand down from Red Alert again. Go to Amber Alert." Said Arthur

"Continue our course to the U.S.S. Tolstoy at Warp Factor Forty." Ordered Arthur
The team then continued to the USS Tolstoy under the Amber Alert.

"Captain. All systems have come back on." Said James
"That means the Kottiha must have a piece of equipment that causes systems to go haywire." Said Arthur
"Must have not worked properly seeing as we managed to kill them." Said Will
"Yeah. And thankfully so." Said Maria

"Captain. We're in visual distance of the U.S.S. Tolstoy." Said Sam
"Ten-Four. Prepare the transp-" Arthur said before they were cut off by an explosion

"Shields down! I repeat, Shields down!" Yelled James
"Black Alert! Black Alert! Man all weapons! Find that ship and destroy it!" Yelled Arthur, the panic in their voice obvious
"Ship found! It's Kottiha! Locking on and firing weapons!" Yelled Will

KABOOOOM

The ship had been destroyed.

"Hail the U.S.S. Tolstoy." Said Arthur
"They've been hailed." Said Will
