:: The Romulans had turned and left when Tk'Lnn broke the silence of the
bridge.::

TK'LNN: Tak! Follow that D'deridex and don't lose it!

TAK: Yes captain

TK'LNN: =&= Mk'Nrr! Activate the Cloaking device then get up here and mann Science.=&=

MK'NRR: (excited) =&= Yes, sir! At once, sir!=&=
TK'LNN: (quickly) Morg, I want you to start tracking it. Feed the information
strait to Tak's computers. I want him to mimick everything that starship does
so if they see through the cloaking screen they'll think it's a shadow.

MORG: Yes, sir. Ensign Tak, the information is being patched through.

:: The bridge hummed with life as they obeyed his orders instantly. Tak studied his
panels hard and Morg's fingers clicked across the LCD screens and he gave the commands
to the computers.::

:: The Starship raced on keeping a distance from the RSV Daring.::

TK'LNN: Have they detected us?

MORG: No, sir. They are continueing as if they don't see us. let's hope it isn't a trick.

TK'LNN: Good. If they do I want to know about it. Time till we get to Romulus?

TAK:one hour sir

TK'LNN: Good. Keep up the good work, Ensign.

(( Time jump fifteen minuets ))

TAK: sir the Cloaking device is not working right, the plasma is not going
through the cloaking fild.

TK'LNN: (Grogilly)Wha...Well, fix it!

TAK: I will do my best.

COMM: sir we are being hailed sir.

TK'LNN: What in Six-alpha?

TAK: sir they are seeing if we are a shadow or not, you better hold on they
will try weird stuff.

TK'LNN: I had a guess of that, Ensign. Keep us out of visual range, Understood?

TAK: yes, sir.

:: A hard lurch knocked Tk'Lnn to the floor.::

TK'LNN: Not that abrupt, Ensign.

TAK: Sir, they are seeing if we are a shadow, they are going to try weird manuevers there going to go
up and down.

TK'LNN: (hitting button on arm rest.) Captain to crew. Buckle down, we are going to have a zig
zag ride.

:: Mk'Nrr rushed up on the bridge breathing hard an manned the science panel.::

MK'NRR: (looking at science panel) They're warming up a phaser 2, Commander!

TK'LNN: Re-enforce that shield, but keep up the manuevers. Commander Morg, set the trident to auxilury release
mix it with the raw plasma and cause a space distortian!

MORG: Aye, aye.

TK'LNN: Tak, Full reverse and hide behind the distortian. They can't tell a shield hit from the
distortian which show up in space.

TAK: Yes, sir.

:: Tak pushed some buttons and he hid behind the disruption. The shot hit the shield.::

TK'LNN: Did they detect us?

MK'NRR: Negative. I can't see if we got hit or not with so much distortian...wait, motion sensors
have detected a romulan probe in flight toward us.

TK'LNN: ECM 6. I want to confuse it if it gets any information.

:: It dinged off the shield and Mk'Nrr sighed.::

MK'NRR: They have detected a shield flare.

TK'LNN: (growling) Get that...::TK'lnn refraned from using the word he wanted.:: Get that *stupid*
Cloaking device working before they get in sight range. AND I MEAN NOW!

:: Both Morg and Mk'Nrr jumped and the two took off for the Engineering room.::

COMM: Messaging incoming.

NUOR: This is the RSV Daring calling Romulan Cloaking ship. Come in please.

:: Tak looked at Tk'Lnn.::

TAK: They're talking to us!

TK'LNN: Don't answer. They can verify if a cloaking vessel is really in this area. We can't. We'd
give ourselves away if the Romulans don't have any here.

:: They all waited for the next move. Just like a big chess game.::

:: All of a sudden the ship lurched backwards and the starship screamed around them. Tk'Lnn was
thrown to his knees and the pressure of the ship reversing at Warp 7 kept him there till the
inertial dampners caught up. He got back up and glared at Tak. The ship stopped again and threw
Tk'Lnn back into his seat and again he awaited the Inertial Dampners. He did not get out of his
seat so when the ship came to a emergency stop he was holding on to his chair.::

TK'LNN: Ensign Tak, if I did not know why you were doing this I would have you thrown out of the
ship. Without your clothes!

:: Tk'Lnn straitened his tunic.::

TK'LNN: Well, What's going on, Ensign?

TAK: They have stopped and they are looking strait at us. They are not moving a bit.

MORG: =&= Morg to Tak. Try the cloaking device. I got the harmonics right.=&=

TAK: =&= Okay, here it goes.=&=

:: Tak pushed some buttons and the panel erupted in sparks.::

TAK: =&=You got something backwards. It just blew my side panel.=&=

MORG: =&= I'll try again. =&=

MK'NRR: Captain, they are attempting a sound probe.

:: Tk'Lnn thought for a second.::

TK'LNN: Rig for silent running. Tak, tell Morg to get that device working. He has 2 minutes!

TAK: =&=Morg, you have two minutes. Captain says.=&=

MORG: =&= Got it. =&=

:: The ship went silent and Mk'Nrr watched the sensors. Then saw something!::

MK'NRR: Sir! They're coming forward!
