::ON::
USS Arrowhead

Sumr was in his room on the Constitution-class Arrowhead... The ship was unrefited and wasn't near a fleet yard to be refitted her mission was just like her sister ships explore space. She was getting old but that suited Captain Kumar just fine though she was also getting on in years too.

Sumr being a Chameloid didn't really didn't need much sleep just an hour or two snd he'll be fine. Sumr had been working on the ship since he was a Freshmen Cadet being a shapeshifter was always handy for a year journey Lieuteant Commander Ariel Monday the Chief Comms and Chief Security Officer kept saying. Sumr didn't get along well with him though never did much but being his Assistant he just had to no other way.

But today was the day something special was going to happen and Sumr wouldn't now about it for a few hours to come. Sumr had been a Lieutenant Junior Grade for a couple of weeks now but right now he sat on the bridge manning the main Communications console.

Most of the senior staff First Officer who was also Chief Medical Officer and Lieuteant Commander Monday being in charge of security was on an away team to a planet labelled J-E-E-Beta-6 looking for a lost crewman who walked into the caves but didn't report back it. Nothing too big they weren't far from Federation Space just a day or two away. "Anything?" Asked Captain Kumar.

Sumr was listening on the earpiece and chaning frequencies at the console. "Nothing...From the away team or Commander Monday's team sir." He said. Then something came over the earpiece it was faint but he heard something. "Standby." He said quickly turning channels.

Captain Kumar turned her seat around to face the back of the bridge and leapt out of her chair. "Report." She ordered.

"Faint voice," Sumr said. "With a ship still using buttons it's lucky, I could hear them wait... I have it." Sumr then pushed the buttons at the console and the message played on the bridge.

"This is Starfleet Command to the USS Arrowhead come in Arrowhead." The voice said

Sumr opened a channel and replied. "This is Arrowhead command."

"Arrowhead report to Starbase 37 immediately for Captain debriefing." The voice said.

Kumar lent onto Sumr console and pushed a button and said in her strong Indian accent. "This is Captain Kumar I have boots on the ground. My First Mate and Physician, Chief Science Chief Security and Comms My Second Officer also."

"Situation report confirmed rescue ship inbound. Starfleet out." The voice said

Kumar turned around going red with fury. "Inform them Mr Monshine... Navigation plot our course... I'll take the Helm since he's still down there."

"Aye Captain." The bridge crew called out. Sumr did what he was ordered he could a conformed from them before Captain Kumr engaged the warp drive such fine officers left alone on a planet not even known whatever it was Starfleet wanted Captain Kumr for must of been big you just don't recall a ship out of date for something it left most of the crew wondering what was going on.

The ship and crew got to Starbase 37 in 3 days it was tough for the Captain but when Command calls you must answer the call to war. The ship docked with the Starbase with the Captain still had the Helm she didn't have too but her daughter was the Chief Flight Control and probably didn't want to see the back of someone else's head. Sumr was the highest-ranking officer left on the Bridge and became the Captain's Acting First Officer when Kumr left Sumr took control and sat in her Chair.

Captain Kumr didn't return for 12 hours though nothing much interesting happened beside's the Engines almost over-heating the Starbase told the ship to keep main power on but not why. Captain Kumr stepped onto the Bridge and Sumr turned her Chair around to face her. Kumr walked towards SUmr and pressed the button her chair to make a ship-wide announcement. "All hands this is the Captain begin emergency launch."

Sumr was confused but shoot out of the chair and got over to his console. "Starbase control this is Arrowhead requesting emergency launch." He said.

"This is Starbase control." They said. "Begin launch."

"Mebl plot a Navigation course on heading 563 mark 933 Maximum warp." Captain Kumr said taking the helm still refusing to replace her daughter.

"Yes, Ma'am." The Vulcan officer said. "That course has us on a heading for the Klingon border and at Maximum Warp we should be there within the day..."

Kumar ignored him and focused on flying whatever the crew was doing had to stay in the dark. Kumar wasn't one for following orders but she seemed to have no choice. But this couldn't be good either way.

When the ship had departed from Spacedock and jumped to Warp she jumped out of the Helm seat and started walking over to Sumr and she leant into his ear and whispered. "Intelligence Project backfired we need to recover it quickly before the klingon Empire I don't know what it is but we don't have time." She before walking to her chair and pushing down on a button. "Bridge to Lieuteant Shrurun we need more speed." She said standing beside the chair with her fingers at the ready.

"This is Shrurun." She said. "We're already overheating I cannot comply." Then a huge bang came over the comms and the whole ship shook. "Report," Kumar shouted.

"It's the engines," Shrurun answered. "They are far too old to deal with Warp 8 please drop to Warp 5.3 I beg you, Captain."

"Transfer manpower to the Shrurun's department. Bridge out." Kumar replied then took over the Helm whatever this Intelligence Project was bad that the Captain ignored her Chief engineer

"Aye," Sumr said he dropped most of the department's manpower to Engineering it had 57% of the person anymore and the ship would be lacking key personal. "I've done the best I can transfer Captain. "Sumr said an hour later

"Thanks, Sumr." Kumar said at the Helm flying the ship. Along the way, there were more bangs but none that didn't shake the whole ship but Shrurun kept begging the Captain most of the new staff she got was on Warpcore cooling duties. After 13 hours the ship had arrived hull was down to 74% and shields to 30% because of the speed. Most of the desks were on fire but the ship entered the edge of a system where they entered the orbit of a astroid.

Kumar jumped out of the seat and said. "Ensign Mebl you're in command me and Monshine will be down on the asteroid prepare to beam us back when we signal and get back to Starbase 37." Mebl nodded to her orders not asking anything because he knew he'd get ignored again.

Sumr got out of his seat and entered the turbolift with his Captain he opened his mouth but before he could say something Kumar said. "Don't ask anything because I'm noting going to answer." He didn't answer or nod to her in acknowledgement he just tailed behind her as he walked into the armoury then the transporter room as they entered Lieutenant Junior Grade Shrurun the ships Chief fixer stood at the transport controls beside the corpse that laid out on the console with a sigh she said. "Ready." Kumar nodded her head as to say. "Beam us over."

Astroid Base

Beaming into the astroid it was clear that they were in a lab. "Come on," she said. "Search for something that doesn't look normal." Sumr held the phaser pistol and searched they had beamed into a lab the Intelligence department most of had a listening outpost that got attacked by something. What felt like hours was actually minutes when the.

Captain shouted from another lab down the hall. "Found it." Sumr came running to her. To see her hold this glowing object. "What is it?" Sumr asked. "You didn't see this." She said then pulled out her communicator and said. "Beam us back."

USS Arrowhead
They approached in the transport room that had burnt marks along the walls and floors they might have been gone for minutes but the overheating was continue to overheat and spark flames throughout the ship. "Bridge to Transporter room... Welcome, Captain Hull is down to 17% due to the warp core overheating we're all fighting fighters."
"Go to the bridge and get us to Starbase 37 best speed... I need to take care of this." Kumar said SUmur handed her his phaser before he exited into the corridor and parted ways with the Captain as he walked quickly through the floors he could see it was littered with dead body mostly burnt or still being burnt to a crisp. He rode up the bridge with plenty on his mind "What was that she was carrying what does it do" These was things that couldn't be answered.

Stepping onto the bridge and seeing just Ensign Mebl standing between the Helm and Navigation consoles. "Break orbit" Sumr ordered "Course for Starbase 37 best speed." Sumr then sat down at the Comms console to get a good review on how the ship was.

"Sir we don't have anything not even thrusters and hull is falling... We need to prepare the escape pods the shuttle bay is lost also." Mebl said facing Sumr

Sumr quickly looked through the reports through the ship most of the crew was dead and Chief Engineer Shrurun was missing with a sigh Sumr opened a line to the Captain's commutator. "Sir we don't have power and hull if falling rapid." He said

"Kumar here." Then there was a slight pause. "Send out a distress signal and abandon the Arrowhead." She said

Mebl tapped away at the Comms console beside Sumr. "This is the USS Arrowhead mayday mayday we have fires on multiple decks and hull is falling this message will repeat."

Sumr worked on the evacuation. "All hands abandon ship repeat abandon ship."

Starbase 1
Many months after floating in an escape pod with only a Vulcan for compney it was nice to actually be outta there. Sumr had received his orders "USS Montana Chief Communications Officer." It was sorta nice after being the Acting First and Acting Chief Communications Officer.

Sumr sat at a seat watching the Montana light up ready for her crew.
