***Deck 2*** When Tommy came to, he at first could not move.From where he was lying he could see the remains of two of his crew mates who were following him to the source of the invaders. The grenade had done it's work well, as all he could see was a couple of arms and a head.It was only the differences in skin color that told him they were from more than one body. He tried again to get up and managed to get to his feet. { damn romulan bastards are going to pay for this} he thought. He started to walk forward and almost fell as a sharp pain ran up his leg. He looked down to see a steady stream of blood running from what seemed to be several small holes. Tommy tore a piece from his jersey and tied it around his wounds, then picked up his phaser. Hw went to the ladder and was going to climb up when he heard the computer voice. [Autodestruct program initiated. 3min25 seconds to detonation. Abandon ship] Tommy froze, then tapped his comm badge, + Jardan to Gordon+ + Here sir. The kids are safe. We are in an escape pod headed down to the planet's suface.+ + Good job. Did you have any trouble?+ + A little, sir. One of the kids, Martin, had to help a little. The kid sure knows his way around the jefferies tubes, sir.++ Alright, regroup with the rest of the crew planetside. I am going to see about getting of the ship.+ + Aye, sir. Gordon out.+ Tommy went over to the only working terminal on the deck and typed in a few commands. He read in horror(All escape pods released). He thought for a moment{ I wonder if...} Working quickly, he started to push on the wall. A second later, he heard a woosh as the wall slid back and a prototype emergency transporter emerged. Checking the power source to see if it was charged, he was gratified to see that it was. He quickly powered it up. then looked at the screen. He saw that an unknown type of vessel was chasing a warbird towards the Chimera. { I saw this in the guardian!} Then he opened up a channel. + To unknown vessel.. I need you to quickly open up a hole in your shields as I am trying to abandon ship and do not wish to die just yet.+ Tommy then stepped on to the padd and said," energize!" { Then time to get my revenge} End Log Ensign Tom Jardan Deputy Chief of Security USS Chimera-B |
