“Great, we don’t have to worry about any temporal crap.” The Captain seemed to deliver that particular pronouncement with more exhaustion than exuberance, as if the thought of time travel being involved was enough to ruin his whole week.

It seemed inevitable that there would be a boarding party. The ship seemed to be a ghost ship and she wondered sadly, what might have happened to the poor crew. Sienna had always had a flair for languages, though she wasn’t as good as some. She wasn’t fluent in Klingon, but she was fairly close, at least reading it. “I can read Klingon better than I can speak it.”

Nox, CNS

“I know all the curse words…” Marsh offered, he knew a few more but he wouldn’t be able to have a very long conversations.

“That’s one theory down.” Avik spoke as she turned to the Counselor.

“That’s a step closer than I can do.”

She looked at Marsh when he commented about Klingon curse words. Her right eyebrow lifted, and she wondered in what situation allowed that to be possible. She dismissed her thoughts when she addressed him.

“I will make a note of that, Lt. Marsh. I’ll likely be inquiring about that in the future.” Her tone wasn’t intended to be sarcastic or an insult, but genuine. Knowing such things helped to provoke emotions or know when she was being insulted.

She turned to the CO.

Marsh just shrugged non-commitally. Almost all his skills had a backstory and most of those included drinking.

“For the away team, I request to bring along Abrams, any security officers she sees fit, Nox, and Sullivan. Any objections?” She doubted there would be, but the CO might be curious. It was hard to tell with him some times.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

“I’m tempted to flip you for it, but… no. That sounds like a plan.” He almost questioned why nobody from science, except there would be plenty of opportunity to send someone else over if that was a problem. Plus, he liked the idea of keeping Marsh on sensors, despite not knowing the Marsh was even more happy than usual to be kept on sensors in this particular case.

“Just let us know if you need any more people to keep her going until… wherever it is we drop her off. It’s a good sized Away Team, but small for a prize crew.”

I should figure out where we’re going with this thing, he thought. We’re pretty far away from our usual AO. I’d need to look this stuff up on a map.

There was a Starfleet patrol outpost 15 lightyears away.

Marsh looked at him, “We’ll have to tow that historic relic the whole way.”

“It should only take three weeks at Warp 5,” Johann said casually. “Assuming it can withstand a warp tow.”

“Anyone know the way to the Smithsonian… I’m here to drop off a fossil.”
Marsh

The Captain decided to ignore that comment, even though he found it amusing. “If we can’t tow it, then we have to disable it completely or scuttle it. We can’t leave an old warship floating around shooting torpedoes at any ship that happens to pass through this sector.”

– Johann Dvorak, CO

“Time, has done most of that job for us.” Marsh looked over the scans… “Wouldn’t even need torpedoes for that… ” He paused.. “I could design a phaser pattern that would make her implode, the the warp drive overload should take care of the rest.” Marsh was not looking forwared to three weeks of towing anything.

“Draw it up, but let’s hold it in reserve,” the Captain said.

Matty looked at Johann “I should be able to get enough power to the tractor beam and we can tow it to the nearest starbase.” She said “Or....We send a skeleton crew over and fly it under its own power with the Europa as protection.” SHe suggested

“While the team is over there, we can assess the ship’s traveling condition. That should at least narrow our options based on what is possible.” Avik pointed out, calmly.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

“And disable whatever is causing it to shoot warning shots or further offensive and defensive automated weapons systems. If we don’t turn those off, it could get worse before we ever get it set up for towing.” she said as she stood up to follow the XO.

Meanwhile, Cassidy was already prepping for the away mission and was looking up the defence systems for that class of vessel in the library. Last thing she wanted was to be surprised by something she should have seen coming. Unless the ship was booby-trapped, in which case, all bets were off.

Abrams, COS

Externally, the ship’s age weapons were in greater quantity, but their age made it very likely that the Europa could at least disable the vessel. Internally, according to the best available information, things were fairly standard for the era, Klingons preferring to kill their enemies themselves. Force fields and sealable hatches were used for trapping intruders. Automated defences seemed minimal to none.

Marsh

This would be her second away mission on the Europa and was feeling a little bit of excitement at the prospect. She was of use in a lot of ways to the crew on board, but this would be a different level of usefulness.

Nox, CNS

The Captain turned away from the viewscreen, looking at every person on the Bridge individually for a moment, his ocular implants rolling from one person to the next. They then repeated the procedure in reverse. The recurring beeps and boopsof the Bridge stations seemed to fade into the foreground.

“So why are all of you still here?” he asked quietly.

– Johann Dvorak, CO

Marsh just smirked, he was put on the bench for this one and he was just fine with that… that ship likely was a very smelly with decaying bodies if not populated with Zombie Klingons… oh yes. It was better on the Europa.
