TO: Captain Blackfire of the I.S.S. Ghidorah
FROM: Captain Nighthawk of the I.S.S. Darkmoon
We have been damaged in battle. We are leaking warp plasma from our port nacelle. We have lost 25 crew and 15 soldiers. We are in need of repair and refit. Our captain, Captain Nighthawk, has a gift he would like to give to Captain Blackfire. This gift must be given in a face to face meeting between the captains. This is the Darkmoon, over and out.

Ghidorah to Darkmoon:
Admiral Kendrick has informed me of your activities, and your offer of allegiance has been received. Response has been delayed by communications difficulties, which are only no###..w being rectified. Alternate communications links may become necessary to allow essential maintenance.
We are en route to your location to provide assistance, and hope you will ensure that the area is secure and safe for us to enter. I look forward to meeting one who has managed to gather so many children of the High Ones aboard one ship.
High Ones watch over you until we meet,
Blackfire, Captain; commanding ISS Ghidorah
Lieutenant Metalcat sipped his wolf blood wine as he looked out of the windows in Ten Forward. He had received a sub space message from his daughter Brightstar saying that she was now serving on board the I.S.S. Darkmoon. She also said that the Darkmoon was on its way to meet up with the Ghidorah, but she did not say when.
He was looking out of the window when a ship dropped out of warp close to the Ghidorah. As the ship moved toward him he saw that it was a Defiant class starship and that the name of the ship was the I.S.S. Darkmoon, ICC 77729. There was a lot of damage that he could see, plasma was leaking from the port nacelle, phaser burns covered half the hull, and many of the port holes were dark. This ship had seen better days.
As he was looking at the Darkmoon a large crowd had soon formed around him and many people were wondering out loud what had happened to that ship? Some said it was the Romulans, others the Cardassians, many others said that the unknown ship that they had seen a few days earlier was to blame. How many of the crew was still alive?, they wondered. All Metalcat wanted to know was was his daughter alive...?
Just then his communicator beeped, and he took his drink, got up and moved away from the window to answer it. "This is Metalcat", he said.
A voice answered, "You have a visitor. Where do you want me to send her?"
Maybe Brightstar had survived, he thought as he answered, "I am in Ten Forward."
A few moments later, the doors opened and in stepped his lovely daughter. He walked over to her, not believing his eyes. "You're alive! When I saw your ship, I thought you were dead", he told her.
"We were attacked by rebels, we lost twenty five crew. That's half of our crew dead. We were lucky that there was only one ship. It was not a pretty sight. There are only trolls, elves, and Gorn alive on board her now. I had thought that I would die as well, but our Captain saved us all. Come, father, let us get a table and talk about what has been going on", she said to him as they stood next to the door, They then walked to a nearby empty table and sat down.
For the next two hours all they did was to drink wolf blood wine and talk.
