| P: | Captain's log, stardate 41386.4. We are in pursuit of a starship of Ferengi design. Our mission is to intercept and recover T-9 energy converter which the Ferengi stole from an unmanned monitor post on Gamma Tauri 4. The theft which automatic scanners recorded providing us with a long awaited opportunity to make close contact with a Ferengi vessel. if we succeeded in this chase, it will be starfleet's first look at the(a?) life form which discounting rumor. We know almost nothing about. |
| R: | And there she is. |
| P: | Enlarge. What is their course? |
| Ge: | They are now angling through that solar system, Captain. |
| P: | Identify. |
| Da: | Listed as Delphi Ardu, sir. Eleven planets, unexplored. |
| R: | Stay with them, La Forge. |
| Ge: | Aye, sir. |
| Ta: | Sensors read a power surge from their last maneuver, Captain. |
| Ge: | They are dropping to subwarp speed. |
| P: | Reduce to impulse power. |
| Ta: | Sensors record fluctuations in energy reading form, Captain. |
| Da: | Possibility. A malfunction on their engines, sir. |
| Ge: | Breaks my heart. |
| Wo: | In visual range, Captain. |
| P: | Fully enlarge. |
| Ge: | Hello, stranger. |
| P: | Very impressive design. |
| R: | Anything on that design, Data? |
| Da: | Nothing specific, sir. As you know, Ferengi technology is estimated to be generally equal to our own. |
| P: | That does not mean identical, however. |
| Da: | Correct, sir. We are no doubt in advanced in some areas, they in others. |
| Ge: | Showing another power surge, sir. |
| Wo: | They are firing on us. |
| P: | Damage report. |
| Ta: | Shilds holding. |
| Da: | Mostly electromagnetic. Fusion generator and battery's down by 30%. |
| Ge: | Our impulse engines are surging now. |
| Wo: | They're firing again. |
| Ta: | Deflector shild power weakening, Captain. Phasers ready. Photon torpedoes ready. |
| R: | Do we return their fire, sir? |
| P: | Negative, Number one. They're just reponding to our close pursuit. Full back a bit, but stay with them. |
| Da: | They're slowing, too, sir. |
| Ta: | They may be turning to fight. |
| P: | Open heiling frequency. Why are we gaining on them? Don't anticipate. |
| Ge: | I'm not, sir. Something's wrong. |
| Da: | Sir, something's dragging us forward. |
| P: | I read that, too. Lieutenant Yar, what do your sensors show? |
| Ta: | I'm not certain, sir. I'm, I'm getting very confusing readings. |
| Da: | Captain. This shouldn't be. Our power systems are failing. |
| Ta: | Deflector shields failing. Phasers going inoperative, Captain. |
| Ge: | Captain, something is completely immobilizing us. |
| Wo: | Immobilized by the damn Ferengi. |
| P: | I need more information. What the hell are they using? |
| R: | Obviously, we've underestimated their technology, Captain. |
| P: | Considerably. The Ferengi have us right where they want us, in their sights. |
