Story:Star Trek:Terran Empire/Caretaker/Prologue

''Unhappy with a new treaty, Earth Colonists along the Cardassian border have banded together. Calling themselves "The Maquis," they continue to fight the Terran Empire. Some consider them heroes, but to the governments of the Terran Empire, they are outlaws. ''

There's weapons fire streaking through space and a smaller Maquis vessel is being chased by a Terran Warship, on the bridge sparks erupt from the ceiling as Commander Chakotay looks over at B'Elanna Torres.

Report? Chakotay says as he looks at her.

She look at the consoles.

We're taking damage to our port engines B'Elanna says as she looks at her console.

Then another shower of sparks erupts from the ceiling.

Damn it we're barely maintaining Impulse B'Elanna says as she looks at him.

He looks at her.

Be creative B'Elanna Chakotay says as he looks at her.

She turns to him.

How am I suppose to be creative with a 30 year old rebuilt engine B'Elanna says as she looks at him when small sparks erupt from the side consoles.

Chakotay looks at Typhuss.

Throw the last photon at them and give me photon control to the impulse engines Chakotay as he looks at Typhuss.

Typhuss looks at his console.
