Independent vessel, this is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the Federation starship, Excelsior. Can you hear me?

We read you, Captain. What is your status? We do not detect your ship.

There’s not much left to detect. Wait, Maia, is that you? And your Commander? We might just make it out of this yet. But I’m afraid we’re all but dead in the water.

Just be careful: there are cloaked Romulans and Klingons out there, up to no good. Not to mention the sensor ghosts in this damned nebula.

Perhaps it was commandeered by the Romulans.

Or the Klingons, at this rate. But no. They would have blown themselves to bits, sooner than let anyone else take that ship. There’s another explanation, and I want it.

I have not forgotten my side of the bargain either. I suggest we both plot a course out of this system and out of the nebula. We’ll watch your back.

Of course she’s leading the charge! I’ll never hear the end of this. It’s our sister ship, Commander, the second vessel of the Excelsior-class.

It’s probably just interference from the nebula. Check again, Ensign. Rand, hail them.

Well spotted, Ensign Tuvok! Helm, can you at least come about? I thought not. Commander, we’re going to need an assist, if you don’t mind.

Outstanding battle, Commander! Let us hope that’s the last of them for now.

I hate to ask, but if there’s anything you can do to help us with repairs, my crew and I would be most grateful. Just until our reinforcements arrive.

Dialogue
We may be your only reinforcements, Captain. We recovered your SOS from the Gamma Sedra Station – shortly after it was destroyed, we believe by Romulans. We did relay your message, however.

Damn it! After everything we’ve been through, now this! Relaying that message may have saved both our ships, though. Thank you.

Captain, if the Commander can aid us with only the most essential repairs, I believe engineering can restore helm control and weapons.

That would certainly be something. I tell you what: you help us, Commander, and we’ll remain glued to your hull until we’re both out of this accursed system.

My chief engineer has requested 700M Tritanium, but she tends to overestimate. I know she can do it with 680M.

We may determine the Excelsior’s fate if we head deeper inside the nebula. Steady as she goes, Commander.
