After disembarking in Shuttlebay 2, and reading his command orders to the assembly of personnel, he then surprised everyone by glancing nervously around the bay, placing the ship on red alert, and ordering the entire ship’s crew to battle stations. This was particularly odd, since we are still docked at McKinley Station, and the local Earth Defense Net shows no threats.
To top that off, commships just brought in reports of something disturbing taking place inside the Romulan Neutral Zone. The Devron System, where these reports originate, is 30 light years from Earth. It took a commship seven days, at warp 9, to deliver the news.
Apparently, a large stellar anomaly appeared in the Devron System, and it has been drawing attention from both sides of the Zone. Starfleet Command has cancelled our science mission to Deneb IV, and has ordered us to the Neutral Zone as soon as we leave McKinley Station. Other Starfleet ships are being diverted to the border as well.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to depart until tomorrow afternoon. The Enterprise has been having problems with our warp plasma inducers, and that will require the entire ship’s power grid to be realigned. Our engineers have a full night of work ahead of them if we are going to make our departure time as scheduled.
Whatever this anomaly is within the Devon System, it threatens the security of the Federation, and the fleet has to investigate. A war with the Romulans would be a terrible turn of events, especially since we are still fighting a prolonged war along the Cardassian front.
