Ships in 10 - 15 working days
|
To protect the cargo ships essential to the continuing existence of
the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United
Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar picket duty, with
little more to do than ask "Who goes there?" into the darkness of
space.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the "Enterprise(TM)" seethes with
frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A
secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival
hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their
very existence -- the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of
the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung -- with only
one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The
little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same
principles.
The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the
Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he
"knows" that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the
force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no
proof without endangering his friend's life.
To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the
Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of
them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario?
