Onboard the USS Hyperion...

Captain Blyre sat back in his chair and sighed. Barely a month out of Space Dock and the main computer console explodes. Hardly an auspicious beginning, he mused. He pressed the comm button on the armrest, "Bridge to Damage Control Central. DCO, I need a status report."
"Central, Aye. Main Computer's still down, Sir. Damned if I know what happened. We traced the explosion to a power surge shortly after we began monitoring the 10KeV SubSpace CommBand. Lieutenant Farland found the remains of a subspace relay embedded in the power grid circuitry. The explosion knocked out a half dozen power relays, including Propulsion."
"Estimated Time for Repair?"
"Approximately six hours to get Propulsion back up to nominal standards. We can make minimal headway as long as we don't exceed half-impulse. Warp Drive will take another ten hours to bring back online."
Blyre swiveled around to the sound of the Comm Officer, "Sir, incoming message from the Tholian Holdfast. They are aware of our difficulties and are sending some vessels to assist us until the USS Resolute arrives to tow us back to Starbase 27."
"Very Well, Ensign. Reply to the Tholians and express my thanks for their assistance. Notify the Resolute that we are maintaining our position."
"Aye, Sir."
Blyre rose up out of his chair and slowly paced about the bridge of the Destroyer, a bridge that suddenly had grown much smaller recently. He stopped at the viewscreen just in time to see a slight shimmer pass in front of it. At first he thought that it was a glitch in the display matrix.
"Helm, take us to Yellow Alert and reinforce the shields."
More to come....
