Captain’s log: 

    U.S.S. Splendid, Captain Cecil Killian reporting.

We managed to go to warp just before the Tal Shiar ship arrived. They gave a short pursuit before breaking off; our ship had a head start and superior speed to begin with. The fact that they tried at all tells me they were rather intent on the escape pod…

…

I’m needed in the cargo bay. Apparently our new guests are causing something of a stir.

Captain’s log: 

    U.S.S. Splendid, Captain Cecil Killian reporting.

We have reached the source of the distress signal; it is a Romulan Republic escape pod registered to the R.R.W. Jevonite. Two life signs. We made an attempt to hail it, but there was no response – a number of their systems appear to be damaged. We’re towing it into the cargo bay with a tractor beam now. Bumpy ride, but there really isn’t time for niceties with the other ship approaching. T’Vrell has identified it; A Romulan vessel still under the flag of the disappeared Empress Sela. Tal Shiar. I’m frankly shocked they’re still around, and doubt they will be a match for the Splendid if we don’t scare them off.

Captain’s log: 

    U.S.S. Splendid, Captain Cecil Killian reporting.

With a good chunk of the fleet deployed in the Delta Quadrant, the Splendid has been picking up a number of patrols that would have normally been done by at least three other ships.

However a few minutes ago we picked up a faint distress signal during a routine scan, apparently coming from an escape pod just outside Romulan space. The pod uses a transponder that corresponds to what the Republic is currently using, so I have diverted the ship to investigate. 

We will arrive at the pod’s location in… less than an hour at warp 9. The speed was necessary as T’Vrell has identified at least one other ship that has discovered the signal, and we can’t say if it is friend or foe.

I’m hopeful we’ll reach the pod first.
