The station was cold, emergency lights were on, and the noises of cracking metal were there. Taking a deep breath from her suit, Sazra looked up from a console. “Try it now!” She spoke over the communication as she turned in the direction where she saw another person in the suit.

Tapping onto the console and nodding to himself, “Well, it seems it did something. My Romulan is as outdated as Admiral Kirk is right now” Adrián spoke with a shrug. The power relay on some got active, which made him nod as another failed to go active and burst open by an overcharge. “Well…there is your next one, Captain” He pointed at the relay.

Getting up from her console and walking with the gear in her hand, she pushed it against Adrián’s suit. “Your turn, Lieutenant” She spoke a bit annoyed, Sazra had been fixing most relays and consoles for the past four hours, and Adrián was ordering her around “I will take the console now, I need a stretch anyway” 

Adrián smiled at her. “Took your sweet time to order me. Now I see why you enjoy this command position the power, the endless slaves to enrich your vision” He walked to the relay with his arms lifted. “Whahaha” he tried an evil laugh.

“The responsibility, the endless reports you got to write, and I am seriously getting concerned about you Adrián” Sazra spoke with a shrug. She heard a Romulan voice coming over the line. “Oh…yes ….we are trying to beat a dead animal back to life” Sazra spoke over the private line and rolled her eyes. “Yea, we are making progress. Keep me posted” She shook her head. “These Romulans see value in this station so much that they want us to remodel it”

“Do they want to get new furniture for the station also? I might be able to replicate something” Adrián pointed out sarcastically as he turned some gears.

Sazra smirked and shook her head, looking outside and seeing the Typhon Frontier’s bright colors. “Well, it is quite a sight to see” In her eye, she noticed a ship dropping out of warp. “What the…” She leans at the window to see that it is another Romulan ship. “Are you bloody kidding me….they didn’t need an escort?!” She cursed to herself.

“Jaxartes to Captain Praugol” She heard over the communication line.

“Speak to me Silina” Sazra was still looking at the ship heading to their location as Adrián rose from the console.

“The Sha’Rem alerted us that the ship was not from the Romulan Free States, but from the Independent Romulan Factions. Their intent is most likely hostile” 

The Sha’Rem took a position before the Jaxartes and opened fire, “Get us now!” Sazra ordered and looked over at Adrián. “Two to beam up, Lieutenant!” The station started to shake from the hit it received from the incoming vessel. The station won’t hold out long. They already concluded on scans that the station was not fit for battle in any shape or form. 

“I am trying, but the enemy vessel is making it impossible for me to lower the shields…Rami lock and fire!” Silina ordered, “We are trying our best to get to you, sir…” The communication drops as Sazra looks outside, seeing the Jaxartes making evasive moves to avoid getting hit as it fired a few shots at the enemy bird. “Damn it…” Sazra felt defenseless as she suddenly heard beaming sounds.

Turning around she saw the Romulans aiming at her as Adrián quickly had already armed himself and fired his phaser giving enough distraction time for Sazra to grab her phaser. In many ways, she was outnumbered, as the IRF ship was a built cruiser and they both were not. Sazra quickly took one down. “We got to hold out until Jaxartes can get us out!” She fired another shot.

Nodding to that command “I got nothing else to do anyway, but if they hit my baby I swear I will hunt them down to the end of the galaxy” Adrián furious spoke out taking another one down as another wave beams in. “This is going to take a while” Which Sazra hoped it wouldn’t take that long. But they had to hold out and only hoped Silina would figure out to contact Starfleet Command for the additional backup. But it only took her a few seconds to realize that the jamming system of the IRF ship would block that. “We need to get backup! Is the station communication grid active?!” 

Adrián looked at his Captain and then back at the console he was near as he quickly fired a shot and then tapped onto the panel, “Yes….but we need to get to the main control room. We have to push further in!” The station took another hit. “Or they just will shoot the crap out of the station WHILE WE ARE STILL IN IT” Adrián yelled annoyed. 

It was the only plan the two of them could do right now. If they could push towards the control room, they might be able to overrule the enemy ship’s jamming system and call for help. Sazra would figure that Silina, while a doctor, had figured that issue out also.
