The thought occurred that maybe they were in neither.

"Excellent, V'Dettin," Connor nodded, obviously satisfied. "There were no issues?"

The Klingon woman made an unhappy face (even more unhappy than usual for a Klingon Uhura thought with grim amusement). "It seems the Klingon commanding officer has managed to evade our pursuit," she said sourly. "He is quite formidable."

"As is the human captain," Connor said. "No matter - two mere men, even ones as experienced as Kirk and Koloth, will not upset our plans."

Koloth! It was a name Uhura remembered well. He and Captain Kirk had faced off several times. Koloth was a canny and experienced warrior. He'd also been left extremely humiliated the last time he encountered Enterprise at Space Station K-7. if they could contact him, he might help. Or he might simply destroy them for the sheer pleasure of revenge. Or he might do both.

"Come," Connor said, heading for a turbolift down the corridor. Rand, V'Dettin and the other Klingon woman walked with her. "We should go to the bridge and prepare for the next phase of the operation."

Uhura waited until the door to the lift closed, then breathed out. Now what?

1. Uhura continues to try and make it back to the shuttle bay.
2. Uhura decides to try and find Spock or Scotty and let them know what's happened.
3. Uhura decides to try and find a way to eavesdrop on the bridge.
4. Uhura decides to try and find a way to find Captain Kirk.
5. Uhura decides to try and find a way to communicate with Koloth.
6. Just then the ship rocked, as though under attack.
7. Just then, the ship began vibrating, as though it were being towed.
