All of the sudden, a Romulan warship appears, uncloaking itself. A strange occurrence, isn't it, considering the Romulan neutral zone is about 100 Light-years away? Without enough time to even think of why they could be there, the Romulans fire upon the USS Enterprise-E, right after closing communication with Captain Picard. The Ship is on Red Alert, with everyone tense, chaos rampant. Shields are at 90% and falling, the Enterprise tries to flee, but cannot, as the warp nacelles lack sufficient energy to propel the ship any faster than warp 9.6, and the Romulan ship is going at Warp 9.65. However, by shutting down all unnecessary systems, the Enterprise manages to get the power needed to go fast enough to escape the Romulan warship.
