"Captain! The Romulan vessel is moving … it looks like an attack run!"

Instinctively Sulu reached for the helm controls and then remembered they were inoperative except to Kirk's verbal commands. Even the manual controls were jammed by a computer-generated force field.

Kirk opened his mouth to issue orders and remembered his crew was dead and he was alone on the ship. He watched the Romulan's approach, knowing after the shields were destroyed there was no hope of survival for the ship. By the time Countess disengaged her circuits and concentrated on the exterior threat, it would be too late. He whirled to Spock and McCoy, but for once they were powerless to help him. Spock's mouth was a firm line, his eyes hard; McCoy was viewing the enemy with stoic acceptance. They're a lot alike, Kirk thought unexpectedly. He searched the faces of his bridge crew—Sulu, whose eyes showed the only trace of his fear; Chekov, worried, intense, hanging on. Uhura stood poised, like a dancer, to meet the attack. Ben Green at the engineering console monitored his screens as if he had some influence over them. Scotty would be proud of him. He was proud of them all, proud of every man and woman aboard the Enterprise. They must not die. He had to think of something!

1 Countess' definitions bear a striking resemblance to those in Webster's Third International Dictionary.
