ST:OL Lost 'n' Found

Here's another photo manipulation for a scene in one of my fan-fics, it's when the Messiah finds the wrecked Polaris in the Xindi Expanse.

We dropped out of warp and aprroached the gas giant. The plants rings were sort of like Uranus, only they were slightly less steep and the planet had a swirling red and yellow atmosphere and dozens of moons either in the rings or in orbit by themselves. We caught a glimpes of all that from the view screen as we passed one the larger green L-class moons. I tapped a few controls to go to max magification and all we saw was the asteroid feild. "Can we get a clearer view?" I asked Marisa.
Marisa turned to me and shook her head. "No." She said somewhat grimly. "Not unless we take Messiah into the asteroid feild herself."
"Looks a little dense for the ship." Justin pointed out.
I turned to the Skipper with a confident smile. "I can get her in no prob, Skipper." I said. "It'll take a while but I can get her in."
Will was esting his feet on the railing next to his secondary consol. "That's what you said about Starbase 27." He chuckled.
Oh now he gets in a better mood. Either that or he has a buzz. i'd prefer the latter. I just glare in his direction and sigh as Marisa laughs with him.
It took me about 15 minutes for me to manuver the Messiah into visual range of the Polaris and when we did, she reveiled herself to be badly damaged. One large breach that took out a chunk of the starboard bow and another dozen smaller breaches littering the ship. No lights, no power signature, no nothing but breaches and asteroids lodged in the forward hull.
Will stepped down to the lower level of the bridge and looked out. "Polaris." He said.
Justin stood up out of his chair and Marisa watched from her station. "Whoa." He said. Whoa was right, whoever attacked her tore her apart and decided to let the asteroids finish off what little there was left of the little ol' lady.
I turned to Laiyal. "Hail them." I ordered.
Laiyal tried but looked at me a shook his head. No response.
"This is Commander Justin St. Esprit of the starship Messiah." He introduced. "Do you require assistance?" Still nothing. "Captain Metlesits, come in please." The amonous silence from the broken and crippled starship persists and Justin has had enough. "Robert, get an away team together, find the survivors and find the Captain."
"Aye sir." I jump out of my chair and start for the turbolift. "Will, get a couple of you security team together and have 'em meet us in transporter room two, and call Prilla have her medical staff standing by for us."
"Way ahead of ya." Will said.
