USS Independence
Bridge
1955 hrs
For the time being, the security staff had the intruder situation under control. Zack had learned from his service on the Vermillion during the Dominion War to never underestimate the Cardassian capacity for cruelty, however; all available security personnel had been dispatched to the critical areas of Enginrering, Sickbay abd the Bridge just in case. The Agamemnon had just hailed them, requesting a status update from the primary fleet vessels. Zack traded a look with Ensign Skal at Ops, then nodded indicating that a channel was to be opened.
"Independence to Agamemnon," said Zack, his voice an utter mask of calm. "We are currently repelling boarders. Situation is yellow, borderline red. Minor structural damage, shields restored. Close channel. XO, Tac display on screen."
The forward viewer came to life, with silver arrowheads denoting Starfleet forces and the strange, menancing emblem of the Obsidian Order representing Cardassian forces. There was one craft that was not identified as part of either fleet, and the design did not match anything in current Federation databases. It was, however, taking up a firing position between a Galor-class cruiser and Thrinacia.
"Send the unidentified vessel a coded friend or foe acknowledge..." Zack stopped in mid-sentence as the unidentified ship opened fire on the Cardassian warship. "Belay that, we have our answer. Looks like that craft is starting to go on the offensive. If we are going to turn the tide of this battle, we need to bring the fight to them. Tactical, ready attack pattern Epsilon Four Five. And try to integrate this unknown craft into our attack plan--they seem to pack a punch." Zack nodded to the Klingon XO manning the Tactical station, and she nodded in return. "Qapla, Commander. Execute attack pattern."
