==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Who's in Charge Here?== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2261.018 | |||
Scene: Spaceport, New Detroit | |||
<old> | |||
"Three Romulan dropships and one Bird of Prey just decloaked." | |||
"Dropships? With Troops on them?" asked a startled Corbett, "Sweet Diamond | |||
J. Philips! how many troops are we looking at?" | |||
DeSimms fired his disruptor again, "Anywhere from 60 to 100." | |||
The three of them let out a collective groan. Steele put out a message to | |||
the Hood, "Do not engage the Bird of Prey unless fired upon. We don't want | |||
to start a war here." | |||
DeSimms comandeered the communicator, "This is DeSimms. Tell my | |||
second-in-command in security to put together a strike force, Contingency | |||
Delta." | |||
<<Understood>>, said the harried voice of Compass, right before the | |||
communicator was shot right out of DeSimm's hand and skittered to the other | |||
end of the terminal. | |||
<new> | |||
Jack did his best not to tear a strip off the young security lieutenant. That would have to come later when the battle was over and all were safely aboard ship. But Jack had told Desimms on his first day that he was concerned the special ops soldier would not be able to make the transition to life in the navy. Although he had a hard time believing that it would be acceptable to wrestle a communicator from your commanding officer. But this was not the first time he had superseded his authority. Perhaps it was a lack of respect and that was just as bad. | |||
But not something to worry about now, he thought as he aimed a burst of phaser fire at a large statue that towered above several Romulans. It exploded into dozens of fragments, large enough to impede them but not kill them. He wasn’t going to be responsible for starting a war with Romulus. At least they fired first he kept telling himself. He turned back to the rest of the team. “The mission is to get Sachen. As soon as you grab him beam up immediately and have HOOD start beaming up everyone else. GO!” | |||
For his part the captain ducked low and raced out into the mayhem. It reminded him of his last mission as HOOD’s first officer, when he had watched his captain die. Running from cover to cover he finally dove and slid across the spaceport floor come to a crashing halt as he collided with Sean’s body. He was happy to hear a groan from his first officer and for the first time he let the thought through that his friend could have been dead. | |||
“What happened?” Sean asked groggily as Jack pulled him behind a row of vending machines. | |||
“Just another day at work.” Jack said as he placed Sean’s phaser into his hand before jamming a hypo into his neck. “You and one of the Andorians were hit by a sniper, on stun I’d say. After that a hundred Romulans dropped in to make sure Sachen had a secure ride home.” He bobbed up to take a few more shots at some approaching soldiers. “HOOD’s in transporter range and DeSimms has called in the cavalry. I’d like to get Sachen and beam out of here before we bring more bodies down and make this thing bigger then it needs to be. Of course the Romulans might not agree.” | |||
“Where is Sachen?” Sean asked feeling the energy the hypo had given him start to flow through his veins. “If it was the Romulans who led him away they’d be gone by now.” Merrick reasoned as he stun three more Romulans. “I’d say Klingons.” | |||
“I agree. But being so inconspicuous is really not their style.” | |||
“There!” Sean shouted pointing at a huddled Romulan hiding behind a food counter panic clearly on his face. | |||
Jack nodded. “Let’s go” | |||
Respectfully, | |||
Andy | |||
