To say that there was tension on the ship would be an understatement.

There is so much tension between Jim and I and between Uhura and Spock it's insane. I'm guessing the others couldn't tell as much as me but that's only because I can feel it, sense it. The anger, the annoyance and the hatred…

Uhura, Spock, Jim and I are all sat in the cockpit of the ship whilst the other two Lieutenants are sat in the back. Jim is the pilot, Spock is monitoring the area, Uhura is monitoring communications and I'm monitoring the ship's systems. After sitting in silence for a bit Spock spoke

"I am detecting a single life sign in the Ketha Province. Given the information provided by Mister Scott, this is most likely John Harrison" Jim acknowledged him before opening a coms channel to the enterprise and saying

"Mister Sulu, I think we found our man. You let him know you mean business."

"Aye, Captain…Attention, John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS Enterprise. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked onto your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. If you test me, you will fail" After hearing that, I said

"Note to self. Never piss off Sulu"

My comment was completely ignored and dismissed when Spock changed the subject

"We will arrive at Harrison's location in three minutes, Captain. it is unlikely that he will come willingly. I calculate the odds of him attempting to kill us at 91 .6%."

"Fantastic" Uhura then muttered

"Good thing you don't care about dying" everyone looked over to her as Spock said

"I am sorry, Lieutenant. I could not hear what you said"

"Oh, I didn't say anything... Actually, I'd be happy to speak if you're willing to listen to me" knowing where this was going, I said

"Guys…" I was ignored. Spoke then said

"Lieutenant, I would prefer to discuss this in private."

"You'd prefer not to discuss this at all, that's…"

"Our current circumstances…" Jim then said

"Are you, are you really gonna do this right now?" Uhura continued

"What never seems to require your undivided focus. I'm sorry, Captain, just two seconds... Okay, is us. At that volcano, you didn't give a thought to us. What it would do to me if you died, Spock. You didn't feel anything. You didn't care. And I'm not the only one who's upset with you. The Captain is too" Jim looked at her and said

"No. No, no. Don't drag me into this. I've got my own problems right now" I turned in my chair and said quickly

"What's that supposed to mean!" Jim quickly looked back as Spock spoke

"Your suggestion that I do not care about dying is incorrect. A sentient being's optimal chance at maximising their utility is a long and prosperous life" I saw Uhura roll her eyes as she said

"Great" Jim looked at him and said

"Not exactly a love song, Spock"

"You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything upon realising that my own life was ending. As Admiral Pike was dying, I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger. Confusion. Loneliness. Fear. I had experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well, I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite" as Spock finished talking, Jim looked over his shoulder and we locked eyes for a second. That moment was broken when the ship shook

"What the hell was that?"

We all looked back at out monitors and seconds later Spock said

"We are being pursued by a D-4 class Klingon vessel" Jim looked over his shoulder and said

"I thought this sector was abandoned!" I then said

"It must be a random patrol"

"Hold on!" Spock then said

"This ship has no offensive capabilities"

"It's got us. Give me all six fuel cells" I then said

"One step ahead of you, Captain '' Jim began using evasive manoeuvres through a ruined city while the Klingons were firing at us. We were then hit causing Jim to say

"Damn it" Uhura looked up and said

"They're closing fast, bearing two eight five" Jim looked around before saying

"All right, there! There! We can lose them there." I looked over to where he pointed and said

"We ain't gonna fit" Spock then said

"Captain, If you are suggesting that we utilise the passage between the approaching structures, this ship will not fit"

"We'll fit" I then said

"Jim, we will not fit"

"We'll fit, we'll fit!"

The ship slid through the gap and bounced off the sides a few times before coming out the other side. Jim then sat back, sighed and said

"l told you we'd fit" Spock looked at him and said

"l am not sure that qualifies"

We all then started looking around as Jim said

"Any sign of them?" I then said

"No. Which worries me"

"We lost them" Uhura then said

"Or they're jamming our scanners"

"Or we lost them" We then stopped as three warships surround us and began to bark orders in Klingonese.

As they started speaking I said

"Uhura what are they saying"

"They're ordering us to land…Captain, they're gonna wanna know why we're here. And they're gonna torture us, question us, and they're gonna kill us" I looked over at Jim who then Said

"So we come out shooting" I then said

"We're outnumbered, outgunned. There's no way we survive if we attack first…" Uhura then stood up, faced Jim and said

"You brought me here because I speak Klingon. Then let me speak Klingon"

All four of the ships landed in a part of the city and as Uhura walked out of the ship, Jim said

"This isn't going to work" Spock looked over his shoulder and said

"It is our only logical option. And if you interrupt her now, you will not only incur the wrath of the Klingons but that of Lieutenant Uhura as well"

" I am here to help you" after she began talking, Jim got up and went to the hideaway compartment and pulled out four blasters. He handed them out the Spock and the other Lieutenants

"Lieutenant"

"Thanks, Captain"

We just sat back and watched as Uhura approached the group of Klingons

"With respect. There is a criminal hiding in these ruins. He has killed many of our people"

"Why should I care about a human killing humans?"

"Because you care about honour. And this man has none. You and your people are in danger." The Klingon grabs Uhura and drew his knife. Someone started shooting, Uhura grabbed the knife and stabbed the Klingon.

All hell then broke loose…

Those of us left on the ship dove out and joined the fight. More troops are dropped from Klingon vessels. I work better at hand to hand combat than with a blaster so in a weird way it felt kinda good to stretch my legs and bash a couple of heads in.

After knocking down another Klingon I looked around to see Jim being pulled to his feet by Spock and Uhura. My attention was then drawn away when a Klingon ship was blasted from the sky. I looked around and saw a hooded figure fighting the Klingons. It is Harrison. He finishes the rest of the Klingons with their own blades then approached Jim and Uhura.

I cautiously approached them as Spock came round the corner with a blaster raised and fixed on Harrison

"Stand down" Harrison just ignored him as he looked Jim dead in the eyes and said

"How many torpedoes?"

"Stand down!" Harrison quickly turned and shot the gun straight out of Spock's hands. Harrison looked back at Jim and said

"The torpedoes, the weapons you threatened me with in your message. How many are there?" Jim didn't answer him instead Spock did

"Seventy-two" Harrison looked a Spock for a second before turning back to Jim. he then dropped all his weapons and said

"I surrender"

Spock picked his rifle back up and I quickly got up and moved his other weapon away. Jim then pushed himself up and said

"On behalf of Christopher Pike, my friend, I accept your surrender" He then moved to stand in front of Harrison and seconds later he punched him. Jim punched Harrison three more times, but he does not fall. Not even knees to the stomach have an effect. Uhura then yelled

"Captain!" Harrison just looked up at Jim and said

"Captain" Jim went to punch him again but I quickly put my hand out and stopped his fist with my powers. I then said
"That's enough" I lowered my hand just as Harrison said

"Dathmori" Jim then stepped back and within seconds I fired an energy blast at Harrison knocking him off his feet. Jim then said

"Cuff him"
