Chapter 20 - The U.S.S. Tikuma (Patreon)

A badly degraded audio transmission played through the cockpit’s speakers.

“This is the Federation…U.S.S. Tikuma, issuing a general distr…We have been attacked by unknown alien aggress…Main power is down. Numerous causalities. Urgently requesting assistance!”

“That’s all we got, Captain,” Ro reported, her fingers flying over the controls.

Looking through the Federation database I pulled up whatever information was available on a U.S.S. Tikuma. There was little information, but it did identify the ship as a galaxy-class command cruiser. That was some serious firepower. If a ship like that had been attacked and was issuing a general distress call, my little ship was going to be nowhere near enough to deal with whoever had attacked them.
