1842Hrs


The Veiw screen flickerd from the interferance of the nebula " ensign Bork can you do something about the screen please" The young Andorian srambled at his controls " Sir yes sir ... i'm trying ... wait I think..I .. What the... Contact front! there hitting the Admiral!" Hawk Jumped to his feet quickly looking back at the weapons station "Weapons Lock?" "Negative sir and I have no clear shot on anything... what ever it is its using the gases in the nebula for cover"
"Then send a spread of of torps in their general direction and buy Reynolds a few seconds to get out of there".
"Aye Sir ... depth charges away!"

10 glowing blue ords streaked from the forward turret in quick sucseshion, within seconds the muted flashes of the exploding warheads lite the skys in front of the Havoc.

"Anything?..." Hawk look at the screen. The entire bridge watched in silence as the explosions flashed in front of them

"Brace for impact!" Hawk screamed as 2 red balls breached the gas cloud 10km infront of the Havoc

Miles turned around to face Warh, "Sir, we are secured from warp speed, now entering the Betekra Nebula."

"I am not reading any of 3rd Fleet ships near by sir, the radiation is hindering our sensors." Strong explained.

"They are in there." Warh said as he pointed at the Nebula on the view screen, " I want the ship on red alert, load Quantum torpedoes, ready phasers. Plot a course to take us inside the nebula, 1/2 impulse power, once inside do your best to find our friends."

The Aurora moved forward, once she hit the edge of the nebula, the force of hitting the more dense dust cloud made the ship shudder for a second. The view screen was affected by the radiation.

"can you clear the view screen up?" asked Dayiti

"No ma'am, the radiation is affecting it." Strong said.

"OK, I want some security guards placed in a few key locations of the ship, have them look out the windows and report anything they see." Warh ordered.

"Damn!" strong said.

"What's wrong?" Dayiti asked.

"Shields down, the radiation is messing with our power grid." Strong explained.

Warh tapped his communicator, "Bridge to engineering."

"Parker here sir."

"Are you seeing the problem with the power grid?" Warh asked.

"Yes, sir. The problem stems from the fact the radiation is affecting magnetic containment inside the warp core. Not enough to cause a breach, but enough to change the shape of the flow. I was going to try to erect a forcefield around the warp core and see if that helps. The other ships in the fleet are a bit newer, unknown how the radiation will affect their grid."

"Give it a try, report back." Warh said.

After a few minutes, the shield indicator showed the shields where going up, but but at only 50% but rising slowing.

"Shields going up sir, but slowly." Strong reported.

"Guess it worked." Dayiti said.

Warh smiled. "Any sign of our friends yet?"

Over the com badge. "Sir, this is security officer Rowe, I dunno if what I am seeing is a battle of some sort, roughly 45 degrees off the port bow."

Dayiti looked at Warh.

"Good place to start looking for our friends." warh said.

Dayiti looked at the view screen, "Chan, plot a course. Miles get us there as fast as you can."

"Yes ma'am." they both said at the same time.

Dayiti looked at the helmsmen and noticed he was starting to get nervous, she placed her hand on his shoulder, "Easy Miles, everything will be ok. Unless our Captain orders ramming speed."


Miles' shoulders slumped a bit, Dayiti looked over her shoulder and smiled at her Captain. Warh smiled.

"I'm kidding Miles." Dayiti said as she gently squeezed Miles shoulder.

The Aurora moved toward her destination.

USS Truman
Bridge

The lights flickered once again then lite up and stayed lit.

"Admiral, shields and weapons are back." Daniels yelled over the commotion on the bridge.

"Aye Admiral. The deflector is up and running, filtering out the radiation allowing the powerflow to normalize."

"Bring us about, target the attacking ship and fire a close spread of Quantums. I want them disabled, not destroyed." Reynolds yelled pointing toward the view screen. "Well done Mr. Scott, how are things down there?"

"She's taking quite a whallop but nothing she can't handle." Mr. Scott answered.

The Chabot Class starship cut hard to port and sliced through the nebula. "The Havoc is drawing fire. We have visual of the attacking ship." Tyo'Var worked the controls of the Operations station and the view screen flickered and showed a Klingon vessel. It was hard to make out the class due to the nebula.

"To all 3rd Fleet ships, I do not want them destroyed, I want answers."

USS Nighthawk
Bridge

The Nighthawk came out of warp and into what the helm said was a hornets nest.

"Sir..currently the Aurora, Truman, and Havok have engaged the enemy...the nebula seems to be messing with the view screen sir.."

"OK new plan...Inform the other two parts of the Nighthawk to assist the other ships..Helm we will assist the Truman...inform Kiko to assist the Havok and Lt. Steele to assist the Aurora...Also inform the other ships what our plan is"

With those commands the Nighthawk's three sections went into action. Blade stood there looking at the battlefield and only smirked.

USS Havoc
Bridge

The bridge rocked as the Photons impacted the sheilds dispersing their kinetic energy.
"Status" yelled Hawk as he picked his ass off the floor
"Sheilds holding at 92% minor damage to the forward shuttle bay"
"Get us a clear shot on that son of a bitch! and and fire at will"
The Havoc pitched over and dove to get under the Klingon, slicing through the nebula like a hot knife through butter she jocky to find a shot.

USS Aurora
Bridge

Smoke filled the bridge, injured crew members layed on the floor as medical personnel stabilized them for transport to the sick bay. Warh was kneeling on one knee as he held an unconsciouses Dayiti.

"Status!" Warh growled.

"Shields down to 75% sir." Yelled Klasq, the Klingon female tac officer.

Warh looked at the view screen, for just an instance it cleared and he watched what the havoc was doing. Just then a medical officer came over to help Dayiti.

Warh stood up.
"Take us above the Havoc, 10 thousand meters."

"Aye, Sir."

The Aurora moved into position. The view screen cleared enough to see the target. At the same time the announcement from one of the lookouts came over the comm. "Target Sir"

"Phasers temporally inoperative sir. Torpedoes are still functional." Klasq said.

"baH!" Warh yelled.

Three quantum torpedoes streaked toward the Klingon ship. One of the torpedoes barely missed the Klingon, the other two found their mark. The Klingon ship shook from the impact. Warh watched as the Klingon ship steadied itself and fired two torpedoes at the Aurora.

"ALL HANDS BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!!!!" Warh yelled.

The two torpedoes slammed hard into the Aurora, knocking Warh to the floor. He stood up again.

"Shields down to 65%......" another torpedo slammed into the Aurora. "......50% now sir."

"Today is a good day to die." Warh said under his breath, then said for all to hear, "Take us closer to the Klingon ship, defensive pattern, beta 1 delta. Full Impulse."

The Aurora speed closer to the Klingon ship, moving to the left then the right in an unpredictable movements. Klasq fired two more Torpedoes that slammed into the Klingon ship. The Aurora disappeared in a thick cloud of gas and dust a few thousand meters below the Havoc, two more torpedoes chased the Aurora, but missed as the Aurora turned hard to starboard.

"Sir the Admiral doesn't want the Klingon ship destroyed...." Klasq said.

Warh shot her a murderous look and walked toward her, then he stopped. He remembered he was a Star Fleet Officer, not a Klingon captain on a Klingon ship.

"You're right, Klasq. try to get those Phasers back online." Warh ordered as he sat in his command chair. "Plot a course back to our Klingon "Friend."

warh punch a button on his command chair. "Sick bay, how is my first officer."

A few moments later, "She is badly hurt sir, but she will pull through."

"What about the rest of my crew?"

"10 dead, 35 injured."

"Thank you Doctor." Warh said. The captain of this Klingon ship will pay for every life lost this day Warh thought to himself................

USS Truman
Bridge

Reynolds stood on the bridge as seeing his command chair had ben ripped off the deck along with other stations across the bridge. Smoke filled the air and the lungs of the rest of the bridge officers. Casualties lay across the ship, as the medical and temp. medical officials ran his way and that tending to there wounds.

"Admiral, No matter how much damage we do to the Klingon ship when there hull reaches a certain level it...." Tyo'Var paused to check his instruments again. "It seems to repair itself."

Daniels laughed almost sadistically as he played his station like Beethoven with the piano. Phasers errupted and sliced through the nebula slamming into the shields of the Klingon ship. One section of the Nighthawk cut hard and took the brunt of a wide torpedo spread.

"Can we get a transporter lock?" Reynolds asked as the ship was hit knocking him off balance.

Tyo'Var shook his head. "No sir."

"Get ahold of Blade, Warh, Hawk and Sage. We're going to put together a boarding party. Inform them I want the commanders of each ship with me." Zora spun on her heals from the communication station. "Chirs!?" Reynolds raised his hand to quiet her.

"Inform them that we are going to board a shuttle and under constant fire from the fleet should drop the shields long enough for us to get in. Once in we'll set pattern enhancers and beam over tactical teams and take the ship." The Helm exploded and shot Y'Vorta into the air. The truman began to dive toward a section of the Nighthawk. Reynolds quickly jumped on the station and brought the ship back to it's original course. The Ensign on the Science station quickly took over as Reynolds stood and headed for the turbo lift.

"Let me know when they respond. I am on my way to the shuttle bay, tell them once I release fromt the Truman I'll need assistance so I can dock with them. Zora,..you have the bridge." Several decks down the turbo lift slid open to a shuttle bay in disarray. Some shuttle have been knocked off there platform, 1 Runabout sat toward the bay door untouched. Once aboard he powered it up and opened the bay door. "Reynolds to Truman, give me cover, I'm heading out now."

The Runabout exited the Truman as it dove. The Runabout and Truman matched maneuvers as he headed for the Nighthawk.

"Sir! the Admiral wants us to get a tactical team ready, they want to board the Klingon ship and take it by force. We are to keep the Klingon ship under constant fire. We'll also need to get a boarding party ready."

Warh smiled and started walking to the turbo lift, "You have the conn Klasq."

Klasq stopped Warh before he reached the turbo lift, "With all due respect sir, we are under attack, the ship needs it's captain........"

Warh stopped her right there, "I'm a Klingon, I'll be damned if I will not go and get some personal payback."

Klasq started to protest, Warh stopped her, "We are klingons, when it comes to battle, you and I think alike, I need you here. Get me our best people."

With that Warh left the bridge, went to his quarters and retrieved his Bat'let. Then went to the armory where the rest of the boarding party waited. He then retrieved a Phaser rifle, and a hand phaser.

"He looked around at the faces he was going into battle with, for these humans, Warh didn't see one worried look, only pure concentration, then tapped his comm badge. "Klasq, inform the Admiral we are ready and waiting."

"Yes sir."

USS Havoc
Bridge



The Havoc rocked as the eerie blue beams of the mysterious Klingon ship slashed across her shield
“Sir, Shields down to 84% and dropping! their weapons are depleting are shield at a higher rate than standard disruptors!” The panic in the voice of Lt Cmdr Kokotva was quite clear as he stared at Hawk for guidance.
Hawk looked back at him intently then back at the view screen as the ship rocked from impact after impact. The sparks that were flying through the air on the bridge were only rivaled by a top notch fireworks show.
“Son of a bitch! Those are Polaron beam arrays on that ship! I knew they looked familiar (Hawk proclaimed out loud) Scan the ship and get me confirmation” Everyone on the bridge looked at Hawk questioningly. Cmdr Wills taped at his consol and with a gasp of amazement looked up to Hawk
“Your right Commodore I’m detecting Polaron particles… What the hell is a Klingon ship doing with polaron's on it” Hawk really didn’t know what to say this and it was a good question, what were Klingon's doing with Polaron arrays. But before he could answer the secondary helm consol exploded to his left throwing him to the floor and the ensign manning the station flying across the bridge. Wills ran over to Hawk as Kokotva ran to assist the fallen ensign.
“You OK Boss!” asked Wills as he helped Hawk to his feet “ I’m Fine, How’s ..” but before anyone could finish is sentence Kokotva replied with a quivery voice “He’s gone sir!” the collective gasp of the bridge at this comment ran a chill down Hawks spine.
“Get it together, you all know the risks” Barked Hawk trying to snap his crew back in to the game.
“Sir the Admiral is requesting that you get an away team together and prepare to board the Klingon’s ship” Hawk smirked at this order as he walked over to his fallen helmsmen leaned over and gently closed the ensigns eyes.
“Wills you have the bridge” Hawk ordered as he walked to the turbo lift
“Sir?”
“Don’t question, just keep the ship in one piece and get Stackhouse to meet me in the armory with some marines also in form the fleet about the Polaron arrays”
“Aye Aye Sir”

With that Hawk stepped on to the turbo lift and with a swoosh vanished from the bridge.

Within a few seconds the doors slid open and Hawk proceeded to run to the armory. The ship rocking every few seconds from obvious impacts making Hawk struggled to keep his balance.
“Commodore” a deep gruff voice yelled as he reached the entrance to the armory “Here” A Compression rife flew through the air towards him followed by a hand phaser and tactical belt
“Thanks Stackhouse!” Hawk replied a little short of breath from the run.
“Do you not think compression rifles are abit of over kill for a boarding party?”
Stackhouse smiled and replied with confidence “If we gota fight Klingon’s then I wana know the fela I hit drops on the first shot Sir! And no standard Phaser rife can do that” Hawk smiled and nodded
“Alright then we all Good to go?” And with a collective Sir! Yes Sir! From the 6 marines they left the armory and Hawk heading to the shuttle bay and Stackhouse and his boys heading to the transporters.

Runabout Abraham

Reynolds manned the pilots seat with a 3 man tactical team in the back. Commander Daniels manned the weapons. The runabout rocked from close by explosions, Reynolds had the runabout dipping and diving dogging debris, ships and enemy weapons fire.

"Inform Hawk that we are going to be coming in hot. Clear there landing bay, they need to get in as fast as they can."

USS Truman

Zora stood leaning against the chair of the science officer that took over for Y'Vorta. "Captain, the Klingons have switched there focus onto the runabout." Lt Commander Simpson said as she took the Truman down and blocked a barrage of poloran fire.

"Shields down to 62%." Mariah the new lieutenant Tactical Officer announced over the chaos on the bridge.

"What are they firing?" Zora asked. Just then the Operations station beeped.

"Message coming in from the Havoc, they have detected Poloran particles from the Klingon ship." Tyo'Var said.

Runabout Abraham

The bay doors of the Havoc slowly opened, Reynolds piloted the runabout quickly toward the open bay. "Brace yourselves!!" Reynolds yelled. The Runabout breached the forcefield into the Havoc and as soon as it was in Reynolds hit the reverse engines. Inside the runabout just about everyone was thrown toward the front of the ship.

"YYYYEEEAAAA!!!!! That's what I'm talkin' about." Mason the heavy weapons specialist with the Truman tactical team yelled as he picked himself off the floor. The back ramp opened and Mason stood on the ramp.

"Inform Hawk we are here and to move his ass." Reynolds said loking towad Daniels.

Hawk Watched as the Abraham scraped to a halt on the deck of the shuttle bay, Man thats like nails on a chalk board he thought to him self as he ran to the now opening Runabout.
" Evening Boys!... nice day for a crusie wouldn't you say" Hawk said with a laugh as he boarded .

"Admriral I should point out the the Havoc has a Tac Assult runabout on board might have been a better choice then this Danube class."
Reynolds looked at Hawk pointing out a heavly armored Black Hack Class runabout
"Just shut up and sit down you jackass" replyed Reynolds as he rolled his eyes laughing followed by Mason's complaint that they never get the good toys on there ship.

"I tell ya Admiral. The Truman is a badass ship, why do we always get the second hand me down support craft?" Mason argued as he strapped himself back in.

Hawk snickered and slapped Reynolds on the back.

"One more out burst and you'll be out directing traffic Mason." Reynolds yelled jokingly. "Inform the Aurora we're on our way. And let Warh know to bring extra pull-ups. You know he's pissin himself from the excitment of a boarding party." The runabout errupted in laughter as they were rocked by explosions.

Aurora Shuttle bay

Warh and the rest watched as the huge hanger doors opened.

"Alright folks when the Abraham lands, get on board and quickly as you can." Warh ordered.

Over the intercom Klasq called down, "Sir, the Abraham is on it's way."

Warh looked out of the open hanger bay and could see the Abraham coming in fast. Warh looked at the hanger bay controller.

"Ready sir, as soon as the Abraham gets through the force field I will put the tractors on it to slow them down."

The Abraham penetrated the forcefield of the hanger bay, and was slowed down by the tractor beams and landed, the door to the runabout opened and the boarding party from the Aurora ran on board. the Runabout took off again and speed away from the Aurora. Warh watched out of one of the windows as the Aurora fought off and protected the Runabout as well as she could. Energy weapons fire and torpedoes where traded back and forth. Warh watched with pride as his ship fought the Klingon ship.
After a few moments of the battle Warh could see something wasn't right with the Aurora. The Klingon ship's weapons fire was impacting against an unshielded Aurora.

"NO!!!" Warh growled.

everyone was watching the fire fight now. Warh watched as the Klingon ships powerful beam weapon powered up and fired. The beam slammed into the Aurora's engineering hull and came out the other side.


Aurora bridge.

Klasq picked herself up off the floor. "Damage report!" She checked Ensign Miles. He was gone.

Just then the computer's voice came over the speakers. "Damage to warp core, warp core breach imminent."

"Guess that answered my question." Klasq said, she then ran over to the command chair. "All hands abandon ship, repeat, all hands abandon ship!"

The crew hurried to the escape pods, one by one the escape pods jettisoned off the aurora. Klasq stood on the empty bridge and stared at the view screen as the Klingon ship was coming about to fire once more. Klasq jumped into the navigator station.

"Computer are all crew safely off ship?" Klasq asked.

"Affirmative. one escape pod is remaining near the bridge."

"I won't need it. " Klasq said as she looked at what the ship had left. "Weapons offline, warp offline, impulse engines at 75%. Good"

Klasq plotted a collision course to the Klingon ship. And engaged the ship as fast as she could.

"Forgive me Admiral, but I can't let that Klingon ship survive." She said to herself.

The Aurora speed to it's target but before she could impact against the Klingon ship she exploded in a huge fireball. A part of the Primary hull slammed into the Klingon ship, taking it's shields and Weapons offline.

Runabout Abraham

Warh watched as his home for so long and knew a few people he called family where gone, he stood quietly and clenched his fists. this Klingon captain will pay.

Reynolds took his eyes away from what just happened and noticed the Klingon ship seamed dead in space, no shields, no weapons..............

but for how long?

USS Truman
Bridge

Zora proped herself u against the Operations station with Tyo'Var. The bridge was silent, it was like even the red alert was paying it's respect to the fallen by being quiet. The Klingon ship slowly tumbled powerless, the Aurora's escape pods streaked away from the emassing debris that was once the Aurora.

"Set a course, Mmack ready the cargo bays, transporter rooms, shuttle bay. Every open space, and inform the rest of the Fleet to do so as well." Zora softly spoke.

Simpson, the Science Officer now in the Helm station plotted a course.

Runabout Abraham

The runabout that was once echoing with laughter and action was now quiet, except for Warh which was mourning his family with a loud proudful Klingon howl.

"Hawk, I need a status on the Klingon ship." Reynolds finally spoke breaking the silence. He knew the status but the gesture was to remind the group they had a mission on hand.

Hawk twitched and finally blinked while working the station next to Reynolds. "The Klingon ship is adrift, power fluxuations on all decks, but as of now the shields are down and weapons afre offline."

"Runabout Abraham to Blade. Do you have transporter ability? If so meet us in the Klingon's Hangar bay." The runabout cut hard to starboard on a direct path to teh Klingon ship.

Runabout Abraham

Warh stared out the window at the expanding debris field that was once his home. He stood wondering how many of his crew survived.
He had a personal vendetta against this Klingon commander. Warh's Communicator chirped.

"Warh here."

"Sir this is Strong. I just wanted you to know that out of 452 personal, I was only able to count 155 that escaped. I'm sorry sir, but Klasq stayed on board the Aurora. I believe she piloted the ship into the Klingon." Strong reported.

"Understood." Warh replied.

Warh then decided that he will avenge his fallen family and friends this day.
