<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Bridge>

[O.O.C. This is it - the great experiment - the first crossover between two VTrek BBS games. Now, we're only visitors in this folder, so lets try not to make too much of a mess.....]

As the Lafayette approaches the Tintagel's location, Ensign Xek, a Trill, takes the Conn.
The ship drops out of warp, and Mortimer stares at the viewscreen.... at what's left of the Tintagel. Some kind of alien device is attached to the ship. A black monolith is approaching the Tintagel slowly.

Our priority is to tranmit data on this thing to Command.

Mortimer turns to Lt. Solod, Assistant Operations Manager.
"Mr. Solod. Connect to the Tintagel's computer, and copy their logs. Then send them by priority communication to Starfleet Command"

"Yes, sir. Establishing connection...." 

"Lt. Diego. Scan the device and the black ...er.. thing. Try to see if they're communicating with each other, and if so on what frequency. I also need a three man security team standing by at transporter room one."
"Mr. Zahn. Prepare the deflector dish to generate interference"
"Mr. Xek. Take us alongside the Tintagel. We should be able to get a signal to the crew's personal communicators from that distance"

Mortimer's vision starts to blurr, and he puts his hand to his head.

"Mortimer to Sickbay. What is the captain's status?"
[Waits for reply]

Lt. Solod turns from Ops.
"Sir, the Tintagel's computer isn't responding."

He looks over Solod's shoulder to make sure that he's operating the console properly.

petaQ Vulcans. Can't trust them to do anything right.

"Get out of the way". Mortimer shoves Solod to one side, ignoring the shocked look on his face. "Lets see.... clearing buffers, loading SFTCP protocol, browsing connections....... requesting Tintagel prefix code"
He continues tapping away at the Ops console.

"Prefix code in. Connecting....  Oh baQa'... the computer isn't responding."

The Lafayette pulls alongside the Tintagel.

If that thing did that to the Tintagel, what's it going to do to the Lafayette?

"Mortimer to Kindle, how's engineering standing for giving us some extra power."
".....Mortimer to Kindle."
".....Chandy?"

"Mr. Zahn, make whatever preparations are necessary to give us maximum possible power"

"Mr. Solod, open a frequency which can be picked up by the Tintagel's crew."

"This is Lieutenant Commander Maxwell Mortimer of the USS Lafayette, calling whoever is in command of the Tintagel. Please respond"
