Transmutare Fabrica Chapter 3
I'm so sorry it took a year to upload chapter three. I had a tough year trying to graduate from high school and all and did not have time to type up the chapters. I will try and post a chapter a week from now on.
CHAPTER 3
The tension on the bridge had gone from nonexistent to red Alert in 3 seconds. All eyes were fixed on the view screen as what looked like a Romulan War bird de-cloaked . T'Lar griped the back of Lt.Lees seat , his claws unsheathing into the vinyl. "Lieutenant, can you identify the ship." It took a few moments before Lee managed to tear her gaze from the screen. She quickly scaned the vessel and breathed a sigh of relief. "Captain, It's the NX-Ayrheart. Starfleet, Calypso class."
"The Ayrheart?! Beckmanns ship?! End red alert. " T'Lar's claws retracted and he too sighed. "Lee, Hail the Ayrheart." "Aye Sir" The view screen blipped over to an image of a tall Irish man with red wispy hair and a huge grin. "Captain Sorrat! Nice to see you again, what has it been 6 years?" T'Lar smiled and crossed his arms casually. "Yes I believe so. What are you doing here Brian?" Beckmann's smile lessened. "We were doing routine scans of the area when we picked up your ships ion trail. We thought you might be in some need of assistance." "That we are Captain. " Beckmann smiled again. "Good I will send a repair team to your ship." T'Lar smiled and lifted his hand from the tactical chair. Brian why don't you beam over with them. I would love to see you again. " "Aye Aye Captain" Beckmann said playfully. "Beckmann out"
The Nx-Ayrheart, was an unusual ship. It held no form similar to any Starfleet vessel. Infact it looked much like a Romulan War bird. It was created shortly after the USS Defiant. The Calypso Class was commissioned to be a reconnaissance vessel created to collect information in the neutral zone. The Design of the Calypso class ship was based off of a Romulan War bird with one major difference. The nacelles were Starfleet design and the main body of the ship vaguely resembled that of an Oberth Class Starship. The one feature that made it unique from almost all other starships, it had a Phase Cloak. It combined a normal invisibility cloak with phase inverter technology. So the Ayrheart is able to pass through solid matter if it is cloaked. The Federation was able make this possible by installing the invisibility Phase cloak developed on the USS Pegasus on stardate 2358. Since the treaty banning this technology was no longer in effect.
Captain T'Lar turned to Lt.Stevens with one swift motion. "Lt.Stevens, contact Lt.Commander M'tark and Commander Gates and tell them to meet me in transporter room two." Stevens nodded his head "Aye Sir" As T'Lar started towards the Jeffries tube before turning back to Lt. Stevens. "Oh and Stevens, tell them to take the Jeffries tubes. We don't want another instance with crew being stuck in the turbo lifts. " "Aye Sir." The T'Lar opened the hatch and climbed into the tube.

Lt.Commander Larn M'Tark rubbed her nasal ridges in annoyance. She had been fixing half of the system on the ship since 0600 hours. Larn M'Tark was not a normal Caitian, she was in fact half Bajoran. Her Father was Caitian freighter Captain who smuggled Bajorans out of the Barjorn Death Camps. Her mother was a Bajoran artist living on Bajor who was a member of the resistance. Larn herself was born on her fathers ship. She Entered Starfleet academy but quit in her Senior year to join the Maquis. She was the one who advised the Maquis use the Badlands as a hiding place. After a year with the Maquis, she quit and petitioned the Academy for re-admission. She was granted it and soon finished her Senior year and was assigned to the Uss Royal. She was promoted for her brave actions in battle against the Romulans. T'Lar asked that she come aboard the NX-Garrack and serve as Chief Science officer.
And what a job it was. She made about as many repairs to the ship as the Chief Engineer did. She was starting to regret studying Engineering at the academy as one of her majors. She looked over at COE Gattes. The Gorn like female looked back at her and smiled. M'Tark turned as she heard the transporter room door open. The captain stepped through the door and joined the other two Officers. The Captain turned to the transporter Chief Lt.Commander Turr. "Commander, is the Ayrheart away team ready to beam over?" Turr looked up from her station and replied. " Yes sir. On your command Captain." "Energize".
