"Still nothing sir." Lieutenant Riley said, turning her head to address the Captain.

"And what is the ETA on those incoming three Romulan ships?" Winters asked to Commander Pibb. His eyes turned back to the view screen. The unknown Romulan ship continued to spin slowly out of control along all 3 axis's. He could feel a little tension in his shoulders knowing that his time for full diplomacy was possibly running out.

"They'll be here in 2 minutes" Pibb responded.

"Any reply from anyone?" Winters turned to face him.

"Nothing still from the incoming ships, and still nothing from whoever is out there."

"I am getting a reading though... " Commander G'ginloss interuppted with a little concern in his voice.

"What's that?" Winters questioned.

"Well..." The Klingons hands ran over the console, as he checked over his reading and the scans of the ship. "I think their core is overloading..."

"What?" Winters to back to the screen and stood up from his chair. "G'odoss, back us up, full reverse, get clear."

"Aye sir, full reverse!."

The impulse engines of the small ship kicked into overdrive as she backed away quickly from the small ship. Winters looked down at his console to check the range of the ship. They had gotten a little too close for comfort and he should have realized that it may be a trap, or some last resort. Romulans were known for their cunning traps.

"Their singularity is going critical!" G'odoss cried out, "Emergency power to forward shields."

"On it!" Pibb replied, just as he has finished throwing all the last of the reserve power into the shields, there was a small flash of light that lit up the bridge. Within an instant the small ship that was once floating in front of them had disappeared into fire, debris and dust. The ship rocked as the shock wave from the explosion hit the ship.

"Damage report?" the Captain asked for.

"No damage sir, shields are holding." Riley informed with a slight sigh.

"Good, now bring us around, 117 mark 033. 1/2 impulse on the course to those Romulan ships. I want them to know we know they are coming. Keep hailing, and remind them that they are in Federation space."

"Aye sir."
