Chapter 5/Warp 9.975

The Helena is flying at Warp Speed as they're entering Cardassian Space.

On the Bridge Lieutenant Mitchell is sitting in the Captain's Chair as the ship shakes again as Lieutenant Leigh turns to her.

Lieutenant our intermix ratio is flucating again it's going down to 34% Lieutenant Leigh says as she turns to Lieutenant Mitchell at the chair as she steps down to the helm and helps Liz with the helm console.

She turns to her.

You're right Lieutenant we're going to have a core breach, Bridge to Captain Tyson sir we're losing the intermix pressure again it's dropped to 34% Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at Lieutenant Leigh.

In the turbolift Captain Tyson gets an idea.

Liz go to Warp 9.975 Captain Tyson says as he paces about in the lift.

On the Bridge both Lieutenant Leigh and Lieutenant Mitchell are shocked by this.

Sir we can't hold that speed for very long Lieutenant Leigh says as she looks at Lieutenant Mitchell.

You heard me Liz warp 9.975 Captain Tyson says over the com.

She looks at Jamie.

Do it Lieutenant Lt Mitchell says she looks at her and goes back to the Captain's chair.

Lieutenant Leigh inputs commands into the helm and increases speed.

Helena's Warp engines glow as the ship gets faster.

The ship starts shaking as Jason hangs onto the edges of the lift.
