SD: 90819.0035<br> | |||
Scene: Interplanetary Space Near Starbase Zinderneuf<br> | |||
"PLUTO, CHARON," 1st LT Stark said over the Runabout THAME's comm unit. | |||
"Two fighters coming up on your 3. Kaz, watch your wing leader and check | |||
your six. Don't let anything slip by." | |||
The Bajoran Militia officer brought the Federation runabout up behind a | |||
nearby corvette that was about to come about for a run toward the FEYNMAN | |||
while the Nausicaan in the co-pilot's seat opened fire with the phaser | |||
arrays beside the cockpit. The shuttlecraft ASIMOV came in firing it's | |||
phasers at the same spot, causing them to flare angrily before going out | |||
completely, allowing one of the THAMES' torpedoes to get through and | |||
detonate against the vulnerable hull. A final phaser shot from the | |||
FEYNMAN's aft phaser array finished the corvette off as the two shuttles | |||
banked off sharply to find another target. | |||
"COCHRANE, ASIMOV, there's another wave of fighters coming towards the | |||
FEYNMAN. Keep them off her back as they try and get back to the base. | |||
CHARON and PLUTO, break off and head toward the LEXINGTON." | |||
"This isn't right," Harkone said as he looked at his scanner display, his | |||
large jutting teeth clicking together as he spoke. "How come they're | |||
sending wave after wave? They'd be much better off sending them all in at | |||
once." | |||
"And they barely have a chance with just these fighters and a few | |||
corvettes. There's got to be something more to this." | |||
"Well, we've got another corvette to worry about first," Stark said as he | |||
pulled the runabout around, the phasers blaring into the oncoming attack | |||
craft. | |||

Scene: DELPHI Control Room, USS FEYNMAN<br> | |||
ENS Jevadi Davon watched the sensor display as the powerful DELPHI array | |||
recorded the battle. Every ship in the area was easily identified by its | |||
various emissions and active sensor scans. The science officer wondered, | |||
though, just as a certain Nausicaan pilot was also now wondering why the | |||
enemy had only sent in a bunch of fighters and a few corvettes. Then, as | |||
if on cue, something new popped into the field of battle. It only | |||
appeared briefly at first, the sensor display crackling slightly as the | |||
ship rocked from a hit from one of its attackers. In and out the small | |||
dot faded, until finally it appeared steady, the word "Unknown" flashing | |||
beside it an angry red as the dot moved towards the starbase. From the | |||
space/energy matrix sensors, Jevadi could tell that whatever it was, it was | |||
pretty big. | |||

Scene: Bridge, USS FEYNMAN<br> | |||
"The THAMES' just took a bad hit from that corvette," Jenn announced as | |||
she glanced over to Jerran and saw no reaction from the Vulcan pilot. | |||
"Come to 15 mark six, fire upper and lower starboard arrays. Prepare to | |||
drop port shields as we fly by. Bring us in between the corvette and the | |||
runabout, Mr. Jerran." | |||
Jerran brought the ship into a tight right turn, adding a double roll to | |||
avoid a couple of phaser shots from a pair of fighters behind the FEYNMAN. | |||
The starboard phaser arrays threw out orange lances of fire towards the | |||
corvette. | |||
"We're in transporter range," LT Allard said. | |||
"Drop shields," the captain said calmly. "Transporter room, energize." | |||
As the port shields were down, the two fighters managed to get off a | |||
couple of shots from their small phaser arrays, doing some slight damage | |||
to the dorsal section of engineering. After what seemed like an eternity, | |||
the transporter chief said, [THAMES' crew aboard]. | |||
"Shields up," Allard announced. | |||
"Bring us back on course for Zinderneuf, LT." | |||
[DELPHI to bridge], ENS Jevadi's voice came over the intercom, eliciting | |||
an ever so slightly raised eyebrow from the Vulcan pilot at the helm. The | |||
only one who noticed the gesture was the OPS officer sitting beside him, | |||
who just smiled very slightly in spite of the battle raging around them, | |||
and filed the information away for future use. [We've got another contact | |||
coming in towards the base. It looks pretty big.] | |||
"Felani and the beast of Korza," Maril said as he looked at his sensor | |||
screen. | |||
"Can we make it, Jerran?" Zane said as he sat at the edge of his seat. | |||
"Not at the speed they're moving, sir," the pilot said as the ship rocked | |||
with another torpedo hit from the corvette pursuing them. "And not with | |||
these ships on our six." | |||
"We're in over our heads." | |||
