Coming home to federation space via DS9 on impulse power just running some diagnostics on the warp core. An hour earlier I was enjoying a deliscious klingon dinner with the high council. I was carrying a fresh load of dylithium crystals. I'll be taking shore leave tomorrow at planitia utopia while the enterprise is in space dock having the warp nacelles overhauled. All of a sudden navigation sensors pick up this cargo hauler blowing by at warp one and drops to impulse right in front of me, I mean this bucket of bolts was leaking antimatter all over the place yet the phred piloting it thought he was in a klingon bird of prey or a romulan warbird! mind you this is in a charted flight corridor so you just don't drop in and out of warp. Fine, I let him go ahead, so he scanned me and slowed down and forced me to take evasive maneouvers and go around, he punched it up to warp one and did it again. This went on a few more times untill I realised that mine is bigger than his so I called "shields up, red alert" and all hands went to battle stations. I took out his rear shield generators with the first phaser shot and locked on a spread of photon torpedos, he opened a communication channel and begged for mercy, I put it up on the viever and gave him THE LOOK, I fired the torpedos and blew by him at warp 9 as he was vaporised.

Ready for some terrawattage? at impulse I was at 0.5 terrawatt, at top speed I was doing warp 9.1 (about 1600 times the speed of light) at 5 million terrawatts. I knew when the torpedos hit he wouldn't be able to get back on my nacelles and would blow up. I scanned back and not surprisingly he was just a cloud of dust. I hope the cargo he was carrying wasn't too valuable.
