Damn! Damn! Damn! Steele cursed as he ran a zig zag course | |||
towards the relative cover of a partial wall which moments before had been | |||
some sort of store. Had been until the rocket that had been meant for his | |||
car had missed and taken it out. He had told the captain that, given the | |||
tensions and the recent skirmishes between the factions that this had been | |||
a BAD idea. Captain Sinclair had known it too, but it was a calculated risk. | |||
The government of Montil were aware of the Federation’s technical | |||
superiority but wanted to be treated as equals..equals that had something | |||
the Federation needed. Badly. So the decision was made to accept their | |||
security assurances. And Steele had grudgingly accepted the logic. He | |||
should have pushed harder. | |||
He flipped open his communicator as his hand groped for the | |||
phaser that wasn’t there. Another concession to Montil’s sensibilities. | |||
“Steele to HOOD.” | |||
[HOOD here. Its good to hear you commander! Sensors are picking | |||
up explosions and weapons fire near your location. We can’t raise the | |||
captain.] There was mild panic in the comm officer’s voice as if he knew | |||
the answer to the unasked question. | |||
“The captain is dead along with the majority of the caravan.” | |||
Steele replied flatly. “We have multiple hostilies inbound and I don’t | |||
think there are enough of the security forces left to hold them off. Set | |||
ship’s phasers to stun and target a 2 block radius. Fire when ready.” | |||
The order given he spun around to find Merrick. He saw by one | |||
of the transports frantically administering CPR to someone in a blue tunic. | |||
The doctor? He couldn’t tell with all the smoke. “Merrick! Sean!” The | |||
engineer looked up in anguish in time to see Steele point towards the | |||
heavens. “Incoming!” They both dove to the ground as the wail of the | |||
phasers surrounded them. | |||

As Brian said, some brief backstory that we started. My next two posts | |||
will bring us to the 'present' | |||
