Time to look for the author...*** "Tsunami: Bloodwing" |
This takes place after the "Tsuname" posts of the USS Eagle
ON
The ship shook once again. The strain of towing the larger starfleet vessel had been lessened when the star-drive section dropped off, but the D'deridex-class warbird was still having troubles maintaining a high warp.
"Rekkhai," called out the sensor officer. "The Starfleet vessel has launched one of their shuttles, and now there are multiple explosions from the underneath section."
"What in the Elements are they doing?" Treakon, Rohnok's XO wondered. "Do they not know we are having difficulty enough holding onto them?"
"I am certain they are quite aware," Rohnok mused. "They are doing what they can to keep what is left of their ship together." He directed his attention back to the sensor officer. "Aarnok! Report on the shock-wave."
"We are gaining ground, Rekkhai," Aarok reported, his face buried in the sensor console. "In fact..." He turned and faced the admiral. "... the wave is slowing. Finally, the wave is slowing!"
A cheer went up around the bridge. Normally, Rohnok maintained a business-only bridge, but this was a time to celebrate. Too many of their kind had not been able to get off ch'Rihan and ch'Havran, and consequently died when the shock wave hit the twin planets. Still others had not been able to outrun the shockwave. This was a time for celebration. There will be time enough for mourning.
"What is the velocity of the shock-wave now?" Rohnok asked.
Aarok turned back to the sensor panel. "It has been reduced to warp 2.45, and still slowing, Rekkhai."
"Helm. Slow to warp 3. Comm, as soon as intereference abates, open a hail to the Eagle."
"Ie, Rekkhai," both officers acknowledged. Rohnok looked pensively out the forward viewscreen. There was much to consider. Which colony would they start off-loading people? He already knew the Praetor and Senate had been evacuated to Archenar Prime, the colony world Donatra had conquered made her stand against Tal'aura with the Imperial Romulan State. He wasn't aware, however of more devastating news to come.
