The Enterprise sailed through warp quickly and smoothly. A there were no real developments in the conflict between Harrison and Starfleet as he had not contacted them. Captain Kirk was just leaning back on his chair and debating making a visit to the med bay to see Marie when the ship jerked and stopped suddenly, almost giving the entire crew whiplash, and it caused a few people to fall.
"Sulu! What happened?"
"It wasn't me sir, someone in engineering used the manual override stop"
"Bridge to Engineering, Chekov did you break my ship?"
"No Captain, I'm sorry Captain, the warp core was overheating, there's a leak in the plasma ventilation somewhere and I couldn't find it so I stopped the ship"
"Captain sir we are right on the edge of the neutral zone"
"Thank you Sulu. Chekov I need this ship working and I need it now. Get to work"
"Yes Captain"
Bones raced onto the bridge.
"Kirk, what happened?"
"Emergency stop from engineering, problem with the core. Did anyone get hurt?"
"Few scrapes and bruises, nothing serious"
"Good. Uhura, open a ship wide channel for me"
"Channel open sir"
"Captain Kirk to the crew of the Enterprise. By now you might have guessed what our mission is. We are here to kill John Harrison for the crimes he committed against Starfleet"
Kirk looked at Spock, knowing that Spock felt a trial for Harrison was necessary, as immediate execution was not the Starfleet way.
"I will personally be leading an away team to the surface of the Klingon home world where we will capture Harrison and bring him back to Earth to stand trial. Thank you"
Uhura closed the channel and stepped forward.
"Captain I speak Klingon, I should come"
"Of course, thank you. Go change into something other than your uniform. We don't want to associate an attack with Starfleet or we could start an all out war"
Spock stood up as if to follow Uhura, glancing back at Kirk.
"Since I now agree with your plan, I will accompany you on the away mission"
As Kirk hurried to his quarters to change, he first contacted Sulu.
"Sulu here sir"
"I need the alien ship we captured on that last mission fueled and ready to go by the time I get to the shuttle bay"
"Yes sir"
Then he contacted Marie.
"Stanton here sir"
"Marie, I need a nurse with us on the mission. Change out of your uniform and meet us in the shuttle bay"
"Yes sir"
Kirk reached his quarters and changed quickly before sprinting to the shuttle bay, where the rest of his team was waiting. They all boarded the shuttle and took off. The captain tapped his comm badge.
"Sulu, send a message to Harrison telling him if he doesn't surrender, we will fire all 72 torpedoes at him"
"Yes sir"
Suddenly, Klingon patrol ships appeared out of nowhere. Uhura translated what the ships were broadcasting.
"Captain they want us to land. If we don't, they will blow us up. If we do, they will take us prisoner, torture us, and kill us"
Marie whimpered.
"That won't happen to any of you. Let's land"
The team brought the ship down slowly and waited for the patrol ships to land around them.
"We can't win this fight, Captain"
"Maybe it won't come to a fight"
Uhura stepped forward.
"You brought me on this mission because I speak Klingon. Now let me speak Klingon"
She flounced out of the ship and toward the group of Klingons massing near the entrance.
"Here goes nothing"
