Let's tally the events, shall we? said Zack to himself as his ship rocked slightly from the impact of a Cardassian spiral-wave disruptor. First I had to dress up in the monkey suit for a party. Then we get attacked and I don't even get to finish my cocktail or ask the Starbase XO out. It's pretty safe to say I'm pissed off. The ship rocked again as another report came in from the secondary tactical station.
"We can't seem to shake the Keldon," said Lieutenant Davis. "Aft shields down to sixty-three percent. Majesty had offered assistance, but they are taking heavy fire themselves."
"Aft quantum torpedos," said Zack calmly. "Dispersal pattern Charlie. Fire when ready." Zack waited a few seconds for the whine of the electromagnetically propelled torpedos to pass before addressing others. "Engineering, prepare to vent a stream of plasma from the dorsal nacelle. Mr. Haven, prepare to ignite the stream with a wide-beam phaser discharge. If we time it just right, we can disrupt their shields long enough to take out their weapons."
A chorus of "yes Captain" followed. Several very long seeming seconds later, Engineering reported that they were ready with the drive plasma--things seemed to be falling into place nicely, for a change.
"Okay people,"said Zack. "Let's do this." Just a second after Zack had issued the order to execute, the ship shook violently snd an aft bridge console erupted in a noisy shower of sparks. "Report!"
"They ignited the plasma cloud before we could, Captain. Shields are down over decks A-D...Intruder Alert! Twelve Cardassians on deck C!"
"That means they are most likely headed here. Haven, lead a strike team. XO, take over Tactical One. Everyone else--arm yourselves."
