Story:Star Trek: Helena/Voyage of the Defiant/Chapter 4

''Captain's Log Stardate 54345.5. A fleet of Xindi and Suliban cruisers are heading our way, with only two ships we'll try our best to defend the Starbase, but I must admit on this day that we may not survive I've sent a skeleton crew to take the Defiant out of the system and to Starbase 621 cause if the Xindi/Suliban Alliance wants her they'll have to go through both the Helena and Intrepid.''

On the Bridge of the Helena red lights are flashing as the crew are at their battle stations, Lieutenant Mitchell looks at her console.

All weapons are armed shields are at full power Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at her console then at Captain Tyson.

Mason looks at his console.

Sir Commander Watson is hailing us Ensign Mason says as he looks at his console and then at Tyson.

Tyson nods at him.

Julia how is it over there Captain Tyson says as he looks at the viewer.

Great but Jason I don't want to leave you behind, I should be there Julia says on the viewer.

He shakes his head.

We can't let the Defiant fall into enemy hands and you need to warn the 7th fleet Captain Tyson says as he looks at the viewer.

She nods at him.

Very well, be careful Commander Watson says on the viewer.

He nods at her and the transmission ends and shows the Defiant leap into warp.

Mason then looks at the console.

Sir Captain Kira is hailing us Ensign Mason says as he looks at his console then at the Captain.

He nods at the bridge of the Intrepid appears.
