Drogna you sure left us with a cliffhanger with Trip & T'Pol being in danger, spies, lies and intrigue this is getting really exciting. I can't wait to see what happens with T'Pol's telepathic bond and the explanation about her problems sleeping. Also causing her problems and worry about her telepathic bond with Trip what the interference is. And Romulans playing hide & seek with Excaliber on the hunt for the badguys.This is really getting to be a very exciting story.Wonerful story so far Drogna thanks for posting an update.

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I updated this one. Sorry everyone for the long wait. Here's Chapter Five:
Chapter Five

Here's a reminder of what's been going on:
Trip and T'Pol are just getting things back to normal after the Kobayashi Maru incident, but find themselves having a few problems with their telepathic bond. T'Pol is unwilling to talk about it and Trip is increasingly frustrated and worried.
Commander Reed has been thrown off Excalibur to take a weeks leave, and write a training simulation based on the Kobayashi Maru. Trip tries to relieve his boredom by giving him the upgrade of the station's phase cannons to supervise.
The Bolians have arrived on DS1 to negotiate a treaty with the Federation and are causing trouble for T'Pol. They have demanded to see Captain Archer or there will be no negotiations. T'Pol contacts Archer who agrees to come to DS1 but can't get there for a few days. One of the Bolian delegation later turns up dead in a cargo store and has apparently been electrocuted. T'Pol suggests that he may have some connection to the Bolian intelligence community. Evidence is found that makes it sound as if T'Pol called him to the cargo store where he was killed. Somehow it seems the communications have been infiltrated.
Meanwhile Trip is dealing with station wide malfunctions of the power grid which lead to flickering lights and possible sensor ghosts. After Reed sees the sensor readings by chance, he suggests that they aren't a sensor ghost but actually a cloaked ship. The Excalibur is despatched to investigate.
The malfunctions escalate and create a power surge which nearly kills the entire Bolian delegation. Is someone trying to kill the Bolians? Trip decides that it is most likely a software problem and he and T'Pol go to one of the Science labs to work on it. Trip notices that something, most likely a virus, is indeed deleting and replacing lines of code. Suddenly they find themselves locked in and the air being removed from the room. They attempt to block the air vents and open the door but the virus is stopping them at every turn. The door is being cut open from outside - but will it be in time to save them...

[Asso]

Long yes, but I think it is worth the wait.
I go to read it immediately.

[Lys]

Me too!

Damn it, you had to put this in! I have to go to bed so I can get up and go to work, and I'm already blind from doing our taxes.

Grrr. Hopefully there won't be enough work to do tomorrow.

I knew it!

A sentient virus! Damn I love your stories! Your plots are always so complex and ingenious -- they're just a joy to read.

Poor Archer doesn't have any idea what he's walking into. He's got to quit promising to help people. At least with Trip, T'Pol and Reed, he's got the best possible team to find a solution to this problem. Outstanding chapter, as always.

EXACTLY!

Awesome update all the twists and turns this chapter has taken and the situation just got more dangerous. I wonder how they'll stop this dangerous virus and who created it.I really liked T'Pol's Vulcan mental abilities was written in this chapter and the use of their bond at the bedinning of this chapter.

[Alelou]

Yes, the plot thickens nicely, Drogna!

I really want to know more about this bond static!

[Reanok]

The other day Drogna posted there was a new update for her story on her site .But her site seems to be down right now. I keep checking back but so far no luck .

[Drogna]

The site is currently down for maintenance, which was supposed to be a five minute thing but has turned into an all morning thing.

Normal service should resume later today.
