Story:Star Trek: Cardassian War/Errands of Mercy/Act Two

At Starbase 32 Tug Boats are installing the Phaser turrets to defend the Starbase from attacks, in one Tug Boat a young Starfleet Pilot is operating the controls to the Tug Boat Daniel and Charles Miller are at work putting the defense turrets up, as Charles looks at Daniel.

Hey buddy look I understand your mad about being posted here another 30 days but you did take a shuttle without permission Charles says as he looks at him.

Daniel turns to him.

It was my girlfriend's birthday I didn't wanna miss it we promised we never miss each other's birthdays period, Tug Boat Darwin to Starbase Control we're setting up the third turret now standby for connection link up. Look I understand that you had my back when I got back from Earth but Commander Lao didn't have to extend my assignment here another month maybe if I didn't clip that fighter's wing I'd be out there on the front lines fighting the Cardassians Daniel says as he looks at Charles.

Then the sensors erupt in a loud beep as Charles looks at the console.

Damn one of the turrets just broke from Tug boat 2 and it's heading for the Starbase Charles says as he turns to Daniel.

Daniel disengages from the turret and heads towards the base and the turret.

On the Starbase Commander Lao turns to the Tactical officer.

Raise shields and brace for Impact, repair teams standby to seal hull breaches Commander Lao says as he looks at the viewer.

The officers go to work at the consoles.

The Tug Boat gets between the Starbase and the turret.

Going to full impulse ready forward Tractor beam on my mark and GO Daniel says as he goes to full impulse speed.

The Tug activates its forward tractor and pushes the Turret back from the Starbase much to the surprise of Commander Lao and the Starbase crew, in the shuttle bay the Tug lands and Ensign Mitchell walks down the ramp and Commander Lao looks at him.

What the hell was that all about you nearly breached the forward hull Commander Lao says as he looks at him.

He and Charles stands at attention.

Commander I did what was right I saved this Starbase from being torn to shreds by our own turret, and if there's anything else sir I've got a hail to make Ensign Mitchell says as he walks away.

Commander Lao looks at him.

Wait just a minute Ensign you're grounded till further notice Commander Lao says as he looks at him.

The Ensign walks away from the bay. Meanwhile on Earth at the Quantum Cafe Typhuss walks into the cafe and sat with Laurel she looks at him.

Hey there sweetie Laurel says as she looks at him.

He looks at her.
