"Captain? We're getting a response from Starbase 247 regarding your
inquiry." Lt. Commander Bentall's voice over Lora Kor's combadge sounded a
bit concerned. "Admiral Aldur is standing by."

Lora Kora tapped his own combadge and closed his book, setting it aside.
"Thank you, Exec. Put it through in here." Standing up, he crossed his
Ready Room to his desk and dropped into the chair. The terminal itself was
already active. PRIORITY ONE COMMUNIQUE INCOMING, SECURE CHANNEL, CODE 47,
it said, among other things. The Captain tapped the terminal. "Lora Kor,
authorization, Delta 2-1," he said.

A moment later, Vice Admiral Brian Aldur's face became visible. "Good
evening, Commander. I trust I didn't disturb you?" he asked calmly. An
older human with greying hair, Aldur was one of the most respected remaining
members of the Admiralty. He also had a reputation for being much more
interested in results than in how those results were accomplished.

"Of course not, Admiral," the Captain said. "You've had a chance to read my
briefing?"

"Yes, Commander, I have. I've placed the group on yellow alert -- a number
of ships are en route to your position to secure the border," Aldur said,
then leaned forward. "Commander, your situation is more perilous than you
know. The only reason that you and I are likely having this conversation is
because your tr'Idran has not yet made his way to the past," he said.

Lora Kor nodded soberly. "I realize that, Admiral."

Aldur leaned back. "Good. I'm transmitting technical specifications for a
device your teams are going to have to construct and link to your warp core.
The specs will come in on a separate frequency, direct-beam, scrambled and
encoded." Aldur regarded Lora Kor seriously. "Commander, this device,
codenamed Jaunt, is quite possibly one of the most secret pieces of
technology the Federation has. General Order 33 is suspended for your ship
for the duration of this mission," Aldur said, and leaned forward again,
"but so is General Order 17. You will NOT allow this device to fall into
enemy hands under ANY circumstances. Is that clear, Commander?"

Lora Kor couldn't help it -- he gulped. "Yes, Admiral -- I understand
completely."

Aldur nodded. "See to it that your technical teams and your people do as
well. As of this moment, you are all expendable if need be to prevent the
Jaunt device from falling into hostile hands. In addition, only the people
who need to see the specs or the device see it -- nobody else," he said,
then smiled slowly. "But it will allow you to catch tr'Idran... and between
you and I... it's a hell of a ride."

Lora Kor's eyebrows went up. "As you say, Admiral," he said. "We'll get to
work."

"Very good, Commander. Your mission orders and specific details on the
Jaunt device are appended to this transmission. Good hunting! Starbase 247
out."

When a cloaked Romulan patrol ship a few light-years away exploded for no
apparent reason, Savant noted it. But since it happened well within Romulan
space, she assumed it had nothing to do with Coronado's situation. Still,
she reported the explosion to Tactical. Perhaps they could make something
of it...
