Summary: Save for the beeps of the computer, the bridge is silent as the image comes onscreen. The man who Jim surmises to be the commander stands with his back facing them, and a helmeted soldier salutes before moving off.
The Romulan commander turns. Only Jim catches Spock gasping along with the rest of them.
-
On the edge of the neutral zone, the Enterprise makes contact with a Romulan ship.
This is a story you've seen before, but not as you know it.

Reccer’s Notes: You know how the Romulan commander from “Balance of Terror” is played by the same actor as Spock’s father? This fic explains why.
