WHO: Captain Rrak
WHERE: Engine Room, PezDispenser...

As Captain Rrak reached the Engine Room, he heard cursing in Xoltar's native Ogel language. "D#$(& F%)(% FLKF0%)$)# %#E$*)(" Then he heard banging noises. Upon entering the room, he saw Xoltar making the most of his experience as a Science Officer by repeatedly hammering away at the drive chamber with a wrench...

Captain Rrak: "Xoltar! What in the name of Thod are you doing to my drive chamber!?"

Xoltar, startled out of his precision work, looks at his captain and tries to look relaxed: "Oh, hey Cap. Yeah, I was just trying to fix the drive chamber. You see, I reprogrammed the driver chips and disabled the..."

Captain Rrak shoves Xoltar out of the way rather roughly :"Xoltar, I ever catch you beating on my ship again, I'm gonna shoot you out an airlock, WITHOUT a suit on!"

Captain Rrak looks at the drive chamber and starts thinking about what to do. He glares at Xoltar then addresses Xandor, "Ok, let's just start from the beginning. Shut the whole thing down, reset and initiate the start-up sequence."

Captain Rrak over the intercom: "Xara, what's the word from those Romulons?"

Xara: "No response captain. I have our message on a repeat loop. They're either ignoring us or they're having their own problems over there. By the way, we're about to enter one of their holding bays."

Captain Rrak to Xara: "Ok, change the message. Start asking for Prince Gorak. I figure he owes us one. He lets us go and we'll call it even. Also, turn on our lights and give me an update on our surroundings once you get a good view. I'm on my way up."

Captain Rrak: "Xandor, get that drive running again. If Xoltar tries to help, cut off his hands."

Captain Rrak sets off again toward the cockpit. How did he get himself into this!?
