Julia was seated casually in her chair at the front of her shuttle. Her hands were clasped firmly on her chair's armrests. "I think I shook the Klingon scum," she said to herself. Her shuttle was now at the Alpha quadrant side of the black hole. The Leviathan had originally reported her position somewhere in the this vicinity, but was not there.

[Julia aren't you getting ahead of yourself? The Klingon warship entered the slipstream behind us,] intoned the computer lifelessly.

"Frack!" she yelled to the computer. "I didn't know the Klingons could do that. Take evasive maneuvers but be careful not to enter into the gravimetric wake of the black hole."

[Julia, the entrance remained open for a few moments after you entered the stream.] The computer responded to her exclamation.

"And your point?"

[No point.]

"Fine!" Julia's hands quickly flew across the panels in the shuttle bringing is small shield array online. Its defensive phaser's indicator lit up to show that it was also armed. Her only offensive phaser had not been told to turn on. A small slipstream opening appeared behind her out of nowhere revealing a Klingon Bird of Prey.

[This is the IKV d'Qyr of the Klingon fleet. Stand down and prepared to be boarded,] chirped through the shuttles speakers.

Julia's response was to fire a warning shot towards the Klingons bow. It fired a second time at a missile the Klingons launched.

[I hope today's a good day to die for you,] responded the Klingon Commander because of her warning shot.

A disruptor shot rocked her small craft. Several lights flashed showing her that her shields were down to 75%. She turned her offensive phaser on and fired it at the Klingon ship. Unfortunately the Klingon shields held. However, the blast knocked the small shuttle into the pull of the black hole. Her shuttle was now being sucked into the black hole.

"Computer reinitialize engines and break us free!" She yelled.

[I am sorry, Julia. I can't do that.]

The shuttle continued to be fired upon but the shuttle now was being sucked in to the hole. Consoles began to explode as the ship fell faster and faster into the hole. Within 3 minutes the other side or the opening where the black hole was in the Andromenda Cirrus Galaxy spewed out the tough little shuttle. "Woah!" Julia said regaining her senses.

An explosion ripped by her side. She looked back and noticed the d'Qyr followed her through. "Computer, scan the area for ion trails of the Leviathan quickly!" Julia said punching buttons.

[Bearing 111 mark 6]

"Great lay in a course maximum speed."

The small shuttle accelerated with the Klingon Bird of Prey followed, firing phasers and torpedoes.

[This is U.S.S. Leviathan to unidentified shuttle, could you use a hand?] Came a voice over the speakers signaling she was with in communication range of the Leviathan.

"What does it look like!" she yelled into the com system.

The small craft was rocked by three more disruptor shot completely downing her shields. The Leviathan's phasers shot out against Julia's pursuers. The Klingons shields still held. Julia fired her phasers penetrating the Klingons defenses but only causing minor damage. The Leviathan fired a quantum torpedo destroying the Klingon vessel.

"Permission to land?" she asked the com system.

[Granted!] Boomed the com system.

Julia guided the shuttle into the shuttle bay very relieved.
