That takes care of that. Sorek and his crew should be able to repair their ship pretty easily but it’ll take a couple of weeks. Shame we had to put them out of commission for a while, though.

That did it. Their weapons and engines are offline. They’re down to impulse power.

I’m sure the Admiralty Board will see this our way, Commander, don’t worry about it. For now, we’ll need to tow the Captain’s ship back to Federation space.

Uh-oh. Commander, we’ve got a bit of a problem, here. I’ve just gotten word that a Federation envoy is on its way to try and make contact with the Alphas.

Those idiots have got it in their heads that they can reason with the psychotic buggers, despite my warnings to the contrary.

Commander, please forgive my abrasiveness, but we have little time to converse. We have already spoken at length with Lieutenant Scott about the importance of our mission.

If these Alphas are as dangerous as you say, then it is the responsibility of Starfleet to attempt appeasement. They may yet be reasoned with.

Trust me, Captain, we tried. The Alphas don’t want anything from us except to wipe us out.

I find it unlikely that this is the case. They must have some kind of motivation. Perhaps, with the promise of help in their endeavors, they will vacate our space.

Damn it, he’s gone to warp! We can’t let this daft bastard get his entire crew killed. I know this sounds insane, but I think we need to disable his vessel.

I can’t believe I just suggested that… Look, let’s just catch up to him. Maybe I’ll come up with something better on the way.
