Chapter 5/Capture Evek

(Space, sub light speed)

Jumper 14 is on course back to Cardassian space.

(Jumper, cockpit)

Ms. Tate I don't know how much I owe you for rescuing me says Gul Evek as he looks at Miranda.

Miranda turns to him.

You can start by telling me how you of all people got caught by that worthless son of a bitch Typhuss James Kira says Miranda as she looks at Evek.

It was a minor set back but now with the Helena disabled and those two Captains now escorting stem bolts for the rest of the war with the Xindi we can now sit back and relax while the Federation lose the war says Evek as he leans back into the chair.

(USS Intrepid, transporter room 1)

Now Typhuss be nice to Jason and say your sorry for being a jerk to him because he had no idea that Nechayev would do this to you says Ellen as she looks at Typhuss as they're waiting for Captain Tyson to beam aboard.

I will, Ellen you are sure a good friend says Typhuss as he looks at Ellen.

Thanks Typhuss says Ellen as she looks at him.

Sir, Helena is ready to beam Captain Tyson over says the transporter chief as he looks up from his console.

Energize, Chief says Typhuss as he looks at the transporter chief.

On the transporter pad Captain Tyson appears onboard the Intrepid.

Premission to come aboard Captain Kira says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

Permission granted says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

I'm sorry about before says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Its ok Typhuss I felt the same way when I was relieved of the Helena by Starfleet Command for my actions trying to get answers from Drex about Toral's reasons for attacking my ship, now let's get to work says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

All three left the transporter room and head to the bridge.

(Space, between Bajoran and Federation borders)

The Intrepid flies over the Helena and jumps to warp speed.

(USS Intrepid, main bridge)

Captains Tyson, Kira, and Ripley walk onto the bridge.

So Typhuss this is the bridge of your ship says Jason as he looks at Typhuss.

Yes, as you can see the bridge got a refit last year, the mark seven command chair, it has safety restraints, so does the first officer's chair, the chair by the Captain's chair and the chairs at the helm and ops stations also have them says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Nice refits I've read about these mark seven Captain's chairs but the testing failed a few times during simulations says Jason as he looks at Typhuss.

Oh, yeah it has independent inertial dampening says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Jason sits in the mark 7 command chair.

Wow, its comfortable, Typhuss you are a lucky Captain we still have those original command chairs onboard the Helena says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

The safety restraints keep you in chair so that you don't go flying out of the chair during a battle says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Lieutenant Barker set course for Cardassian Space warp nine says Captain Tyson as he looks at Lieutenant Barker at the helm.

Aye, sir course changes and speed is changed as well says Lieutenant Barker as she turned to Tyson.

So Typhuss what can we expect from Miranda says Jason as he looks at Captain Kira.

Miranda will try to run and hide, she’s cunning, devious, and cynical says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

And I know where the perfect place a ship can hide, Barker set course for the Badlands maximum warp says Captain Tyson as he looks at Lieutenant Barker.

Aye, sir says Lieutenant Barker as she changes course to the Badlands.

(Space, edge of Cardassian space)

Jumper 14 is heading towards the Badlands at sublight speed.

(Jumper cockpit)

Just close to meeting up with the Vetar Evek says Miranda as she looks at Evek.

He nods then the HUD activates and shows the Intrepid closing at impulse speed.

(USS Intrepid, main bridge red alert)

This is Captain Jason Tyson acting Captain of the USS Intrepid, stand down and prepare to be boarded or we'll open fire says Captain Tyson as he looks at the aft section of the Jumper.

Still no response reports Lieutenant O'Neill as she looks at Captain Tyson.

Barker move us in closer says Captain Tyson as he looks at her.

Aye, sir moving us closer Barker reports to him.

30 seconds until we're in weapons range says Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at the read out on the tactical console read out.

Typhuss do you think she'll surrender? asked Jason as he looks at Typhuss.

Ship shakes hard under fire.

Guess that answers my question says Captain Tyson as he's hanging onto both the helm and ops consoles.

Shields down to 65% says Lieutenant Curtis says as the ship shakes under fire from the Puddle Jumper.

Tyson walks back to the command chair.

Curtis target their weapons but don't destroy the ship disable them only says Captain Tyson as a shower of sparks erupt from the ceiling.

Aye, sir target lock says Lieutenant Curtis as she's hanging onto the console.

Fire says Captain Tyson as he looks at her.

She presses the fire button.

(Space, edge of Cardassian space)

The Intrepid fires several phaser beams at the Jumper trying to disable her tactical systems.

(Main bridge red alert)

Jason, you may want to engage a tractor beam on the Puddle Jumper says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Right, Lieutenant O'Neill tractor beam says Captain Tyson as he looks at the main viewer.

Aye, sir says Lieutenant O'Neill as she inputs the commands into the console.

(Space, edge of the Badlands)

The Intrepid unleashes a tractor beam that has snatched the Jumper.

(Main bridge, red alert)

We've got them in the beam sir says Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at the tactical console.

Good, now reel them into shuttlebay 2 says Captain Tyson as he looks at her.

Then the ship starts to shake.

What the hell sensors are picking up a subtronic pulse emitting from Jumper 14 says Lieutenant Curtis as she's hanging onto her console and looking at the read outs.

What says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

What the hell is subtronic pulse? asks Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Curtis.

I'm not sure sir but whatever it is its disrupting our tractor beam, Lieutenant Curtis reports as she's looking at the read out as the ship is shaking harder.

Increase power to the emitters we'll drag them in by their ankles if we have to says Captain Tyson as he's looking at the viewer.

I can take a type 9 shuttlecraft and take out that pulse says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

How can you do that Typhuss says Jason as a few showers of sparks erupt from the ceiling.

Sensors are showing stress fractures on the outer hull if we don't shut down impulse power it will pull the Intrepid apart, reports Lieutenant O'Neill as she's hanging onto the ops console.

I'm going to disable their deflector dish, Lieutenant O'Neill shut down impulse power says Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant O'Neill.

Aye, sir says Lieutenant O'Neill as she looks at Captain Kira.

Lieutenant Curtis, beam me to shuttlecraft Archer says Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Curtis.

Energizing says Lieutenant Curtis as she inputs the command into the tactical console.

Typhuss beams off the bridge.

(Main shuttlebay, shuttlecraft Archer, cockpit )

Typhuss beams into shuttlecraft Archer. Typhuss sits down on the pilot's chair. Typhuss pushes a button on the console.

Shuttlecraft Archer to Intrepid says Typhuss.

Curtis here, Captain says Curtis over the comm system.

Requesting launch permission says Typhuss.

Permission granted, shuttlebay doors opening, you are cleared to launch Archer says Curtis over the comm system.

The shuttlebay doors opened slowly, revealing a velvety field of black space and white stars.

Readying launching sequence Alpha Beta Four says Typhuss.

Launching says Typhuss. Smoothly, the shuttlecraft lifted itself from the floor of the shuttlebay and moved forward.

(Space, edge of the Badlands)

The shuttlecraft flys out of the shuttlebay and turns to past the saucer section of the Interpid and heads for the Puddle Jumper.

(Shuttlecraft Archer, cockpit)

Typhuss targeted the Puddle Jumper's deflector dish with phasers and Typhuss pushed a button on the console. The shuttlecraft Archer fires several phaser beams at the Jumper trying to disable the deflector dish.

Typhuss runs a sensor scan on the Puddle Jumper's deflector dish, it shows the deflector dish is offline. Typhuss pushed a button on the console.

Shuttlecraft Archer to Intrepid, the Puddle Jumper's deflector dish is offline, I'm returning to the Intrepid, Captain Kira out says Typhuss.

Typhuss flys the shuttlecraft Archer towards the Intrepid and lands the shuttle in the main shuttlebay.

(Main bridge, red alert)

Typhuss walks onto the bridge. Typhuss walks over to the tactical console.

Lieutenant Curtis, is the Puddle Jumper's deflector dish offline? asks Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Curtis.

I just ran a sensor scan on the Puddle Jumper, the deflector dish is offline, Captain Kira says Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at Captain Kira.

Nice work Typhuss says Jason as he turns to Typhuss.

Thanks, now can you please give me back command of my ship says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

We gotta a job to finish first man then your ship is all your's says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

All right, first get my ship out of the Badlands, we take Evek and Miranda to Starbase 375 and get the Puddle Jumper in the shuttlebay says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Sirs the Jumper she's gone says Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at her console.

What how says Captain Tyson as he looks at Curtis.

She shrugs her shoulders.

I'm not sure but sensors or what I can make of them show that the Jumper entered some sort of portal 11 minutes ago says Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at the Captains.

Great we lost her and Evek says Jason as he looks at Typhuss.

Sirs sensors are picking a fleet of Xindi warships heading our way reports Lieutenant O'Neill as she looks over her shoulder at both Typhuss and Jason.

Lieutenant Barker, take us out of the Badlands when we are clear of the Badlands, set a course for Starbase 375 at warp nine says Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Barker.

Sir, impulse power has been reduced I can't out run the fleet says Lieutenant Baker as she looks at both Typhuss and Jason.

Well we have no choice but to fight says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

No, I'm going to divert more power to the impulse engines, from holodecks and the transporters says Typhuss as he walks over to a console and diverts more power to the impulse engines.

Impulse engines at full power, sir says Lieutenant Baker.

Set a course for Starbase 375, full impulse, engage says Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Baker.

Aye, sir says Lieutenant Baker as she inputs the commands into the console.

(Space, near the Badlands)

The Intrepid goes to full impulse.

(Main Bridge)

Stand down from red alert, Lieutenant O'Neill contact the Helena have them meet us at Starbase 375 Captain Tyson orders O'Neill to do.

She nods and sends the message.

So Typhuss you've got a fine ship and a fine crew man says Jason as he looks at Typhuss.

Thanks, we haven't lost Evek and Miranda, I beamed a tracking device onto the Puddle Jumper's hull says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

What's the range of it? Captain Tyson asked Typhuss.

2,000 light years says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

So until we hear from it we don't know where they're at says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

Right, until we go after the Puddle Jumper says Typhuss as he looks at Jason.

Yeah says Captain Tyson as he looks at Typhuss.

Lieutenant Barker, have we cleared the Badlands yet? asks Typhuss.

Not yet says Lieutenant Baker as she looks at the helm console.

We'll be in weapons range of the Xindi fleet in 6 seconds reports Lieutenant Curtis as she looks at her console read out.

Lieutenant Curtis, red alert, shields up says Typhuss as he looks at Lieutenant Curtis.

Lights dimmed and the klaxons sound as the crew go to battle stations.

Lieutenant O'Neill warn them off let them know that we have a fleet of ships heading our way says Captain Tyson as he looks at O'Neill.

Aye, sir says Lieutenant O'Neill as she sends the message.
