"Number one, lead an away team to the surface. Try to find out what is going on!" ordered Picard.
"Worf, Data your with me!" announced Commander Riker as he walked up the ramp to the turbolift. Tapping his communicator he continued, "Geordi! Meet me in transporter room two!"
With that Riker, Worf and Data entered the turbolift. As the doors closed Picard sat down in his command chair trying to think about what could have happened to the Science station. As replacements for Data and Worf took their stations Picard had decided that he needed a quieter place to think.
"Sir!" exclaimed Ensign Beauchamp from Operations, "We are detecting a Ferengi vessel approaching from behind the planet's moon!"
"Blast," moaned Picard before ordering, "Hail them!"
"No response sir!"
"They're powering weapons!" announced Lieutenant Jefferies from tactical.
"Shields up!" ordered Picard. He gave his uniform a quick tug and stood up. Then, remembering the away team he tapped his communicator. "Picard to transporter room two. Has the away team left the ship yet?"
"I just finished the transport when the shields went up sir!" came the unwelcome reply.
Riker must have been in quite the hurry to have left so soon. Oh well, nothing to do about that now!
"Sir they're firing!" exclaimed Jefferies.
Picard turned to face the viewscreen as the Ferengi disruptor bolt tore across space towards the Enterprise. With a jolt the deck announced their arrival.
"Looks like the Ferengi don't want to talk," stated Picard glumly. Giving his uniform another tug he continued, "Return fire!"
Picard then watched as two of the Enterprise's phaser beams struck the Ferengi's shields. In return the Ferengi fired two disruptor blasts.
