Mission: Time Bandits
Location: USS Washington

Commander Sela sat in the command chair on the bridge of the Washington and reviewed the information coming to her from all stations. The takeover of the ship had gone according to plan, but despite the advantages they had, few things beyond that were now as they should be. They had captured Ensign T'Plana in sickbay and they continued to hold that part of the ship, but Engineering had already fallen back under control of the StarFleet personnel, and nearly half her forces were currently unaccounted for, and she presumed captured.

Her concentration was broken when a centurion spoke up, "We are being hailed by Admiral Tomalak."

"At last" she said under her breath. "Put him on screen."

The screen came to life and an older Romulan, hair nearly completely grey appeared. "You have succeeded in taking the ship I see."

"I have" Sela replied. "However, despite our efforts, it appears these StarFleet personnel are more resilient than anticipated. They are slowing taking control of the ship. I will require more troops to quell the situation."

"It is as my grandfather said, StarFleet is not as inept as our leaders would have us believe. I will send you 50 additional centurions immediately." Tomalak shifted his head into a questioning pose, "Have you obtained any of the necessary components?"

"T'Plana remains in custody in sickbay." Sela considered things for a moment, "Perhaps it best while we have her for you to transport her to your vessel, away from immediate assistance of her comrades."

"An excellent suggestion. We will do so immediately. Send us the coordinates for where she is being held."

Sela looked over to the centurion who was at Ops who immediately began working the controls. "We will inform you once we have taken the others captive."

"Be careful of the top officers aboard the ship Sela. This captain and his officers are known to have defeated many cunning plans. We cannot allow them to cause us to fail if we are to save our people."

"Do not worry about them Tomalak, I will handle the Andorian and his human minions."
