Story:Star Trek: Archer (novel)/Deployment/Act Four

The Seventh Fleet isn't doing well against the Dominion/Cardassian forces as the Archer flies through the enemy and friendly forces.

On the Bridge coolant vents from the ceiling as consoles are flickering, as Ensign Marani looks at her console.

Hull breaches on decks 4-9 force fields are in place and holding, we've taken heavy damage to deck 14 the force fields aren't responding we're venting atmosphere Ensign Marani says as she looks at the Ops console then at Captain Ronston.

Ronston looks at Erikson.

Go to evasive pattern beta 4 keep our port nacelle from them at all times Ensign Captain Ronston says as she looks at him.

He inputs commands into the helm console.

Captain the North Star has been disabled, and is being hammered by the Gevrok Lieutenant Chen says as she looks at her tactical console.

Captain Ronston looks at Erikson.

Ensign take us to the North Star we've got to defend them Captain Ronston says as she goes to her chair and is joined by Commander Mason.

The Archer heads to the North Star as she's being bombarded with weapons fire, the Archer fires phasers at the fighters taking them out and attempts to fire at the Galor-Class Warship but is flanked by five Jem'hadar fighters.

On the bridge Ensign Erikson is frustrated.

Damn Jem'hadar fighters bugging us like flies Ensign Erikson says as he looks at his console.

The North Star blows up into a thousand pieces, much to the horror of the crew of the Archer.
