Part of USS Jaxartes: Double-edge Knife

A fix is required

USS Jaxartes - Bridge

Entering the bridge, Sazra stretched her arms and sat in her chair, “We are arriving at the location, right?” Sazra asked, looking at the screen and seeing the ship was still in warp. This mission would soon be over, and they could return to Deep Space 17 to get a break. Sazra was already working on getting the ship ready for their next expedition into the frontier. 

“Dropping out of warp actually right….now” T’Path spoke as the Jaxartes jumped out of warp with the Sha’Rem following up beside them. There was nothing in view. “We have arrived at our designation sir” Looking over at the ship’s status.

“Well, where is it?” Sazra spoke, looking at Rami, and then shifted her eyes to Adrián.

Looking at his console and then tapping on some buttons, “Over there” Rami spoke as the view changed to a small outpost. It was about twice, maybe three times the size of the Jaxartes. “Well, it is compact” Rami pointed out, looking confused at it.

“The Sha’Rem is hailing us” T’Path spoke as she saw Sazra move her hand as a signal to put it on screen.

Jolius came into view on the screen, “Commander Praugol, we have arrived at our base of operations. We are grateful for your help in this smooth transition, though we might be delayed on our last promise. The data that we promised your superiors” He looked rather calm at Sazra.

“What is the problem, Captain” Sazra spoke with a notion of irritation. This would delay her mission or expedition even more, “We could potentially help you ” She tried to remain calm as any provocation would be in her disadvantage, and she rather gets this over with as quickly as possible. 

“Well, we made some scans of our outpost, and it seems that we are detecting damaged sections. Repairing the station might take a few days. But if you can spare some extra hands, then that data recovery would be much quicker, and you and I can go our separate ways” Jolius spoke with a soft smile on his face.

Ticking her right finger on the chair, Sazra looked at Adrián who looked back and gave her a disappointing nod of confirmation. Sazra looked back at him. “Both my engineer and I will take part in this repair. I have somewhat experienced with your technology. If you have any questions. Lieutenant Ruslanovna will be in command while I am on that station” 

Giving the nod to Sazra “Understood Captain, we shall send a team as well. Do put on your suits, as the station oxygen has been depleted for some time. Sha’Rem out”

The screen changed back to the zoomed-in station, “Are you out of your mind….fixing that station?” Adrián spoke shocked at what his Captain just agreed on. 

“Stop complaining” Sazra stood up “Get your stuff and get into a suit” She looked at Silina “Hold the fort Lieutenant, I hope to be back within a day” Sazra said with a shrug as she leans on Silina’s shoulder for a brief moment. Who simply nodded to her “Stay safe Captain” Silina spoke as both Sazra and Adrián walked off the bridge.

    Well, here we go. As unexpectedly-expected, the Romulans are finding obstacles and can't follow through on their promises to Starfleet. I like the way you characterised Jolius and his manner of speaking. It gave me a delightfully ominous chill to read it. It's also very interesting that the carrot Jolius offers Sazra is the chance to get far, far away from this mission. If he can read her impatience that well, what else might he have intuited about her?? Sazra is certainly the captain I thought she was, throwing herself in the fray to get the job done. Looking forward to read about the status of the outpost, and where the story goes from here!
