JhuRhiana was disturbed. The Romulan shuttles and the Federation
runabout were all sychronized perfectly. The cloak covering all four
ships was working perfectly, yet still something bothered her.
Something she thought she had seen just after they had jumped to warp.
"<computer,>" she said in her native tongue. "<Replay all
sensors readings prior to, and just after our jump to warp speed.>"
The computer beeped it's compliance. It took a full five seconds to
display the images. JhuRhiana watched the images. Her eyes widened
when she saw just what it was that bothered her. "<Computer.
Analyze the sensor blips at time elapse ch' 8903.>"
It took the computer a few more moments to analyze the blips. More
time than usual because of the amount of memory being used to
synchronize the four ships. After what semed like an eternity the
computer came back with it's results. The voice announcing th results
was a much harsher, more robotic voice than that of the Athena's computer.
"<The sensor anomaly has been analyzed, and is identified as three
Enclave ships.>"
"<Computer. Given their current position, postulate possible course
and distance from the Athena.>"
Another eternity passed before the computer answered, "<Recorded
sensor position showed the three ships just outside Athena's
sensor range. Possible course projection would be intercept with the
Federation vessel, U.S.S. Athena.>"
"Lt. Railinton," JhuRhiana said into the open comm link. "I
spotted three Enclave ships, possibly on intercept for the Athena"
