Chapter 1
"Captain, I'm picking up four Cardassian ships," reported Lieutenant Commander Jones.
"How far away are they?" asked Captain Leno.
"Approximately 1 million kilometers."
"Red alert."
"The ships are coming toward us."
"Lock weapons onto the lead ship."
"They are charging weapons," reported Commander Brooks.
"Take us toward the ships," ordered Leno.
"The ships are 400,000 kilometers," reported Jones.
"They are locking weapons onto us," reported Brooks.
"The ships are 200,000 kilometers."
"All hands, prepare for an attack from the Dominion," stated Brooks, over the entire ship.
"We are in weapon range," reported Jones.
"Fire weapons," ordered Leno.
"They are returning fire."
"We have minor damage to the Main Shuttlebay. We have lost impulse power," stated Brooks.
"We have a hull breach on Deck 8," stated Jones.
"We are losing power on Decks 8-12," stated Brooks.
"Shielding at 37%," stated Jones.
"Get us out of here," ordered Leno
"We have lost shielding."
"They are transporting to the ship," reported Brooks.
"Intruder alert. Seal off those decks," ordered Leno.
"What decks are they on?" asked Brooks.
"Decks 8-10," answered Jones.
"Seal off the bridge and Main Engineering," ordered Leno.
"Some have entered the Main Shuttlebay," reported Brooks.
"Post security teams at all critical areas."
"They have gotten into Main Engineering," stated Jones.
"We have lost main power," reported Brooks.
"The security fields are being breached."
"They are taken over 15% of the ship," stated Brooks.
"We have lost life support on Decks 8-15."
"Evacuate those decks."
"How many Cardassians and Jem'Hadar are on board," asked Brooks.
"Approximately 80," answered Jones.
"We have lost 30% of the ship."
"We have injured crewmembers located all over the ship."
"Try and get medical teams to those areas."
"Twenty Cardassians are heading this way!"
"Set phasers to level 3," ordered Leno.
The turbolift doors opened. Inside were 20 Cardassians. A phaser fight broke out on the Main Bridge.
"There is too many of them!" exclaimed Jones.
"Try and get out," ordered Leno.
The bridge crew was able to get out. They went to Deck 5.
"We'll make base here in Transporter Room 1. The first thing
“We'll do is to take back the Main Bridge," stated Leno.
"We have rerouted bridge functions to here. Internal sensors are off-line" stated Brooks.
"We have tricorders," stated Lieutenant Dayan.
"Last time I checked, they were 20 Cardassians in and around the Main Bridge," stated Jones.
"We need to get going," stated Leno.
The Starfleet officers began their march to the Main Bridge.
"The ship is moving," stated Brooks.
"All bridge functions are locked out," answered Leno.
"Maybe the Cardassians got the codes," suggested Jones.
The Starfleet officers came face to face with the Cardassians on the bridge.
"We can't get past them," stated Brooks.
"Return to base," ordered Leno.
"The Cardassians are taking us into Cardassian territory," reported Jones.
"We need to send a distress signal to the closest Starfleet ship," stated Brooks.
Lieutenant Jones went to a nearby panel.
"Distress signal sent on all Starfleet channels. The closest ship will be here in 10 hours," stated Jones.
"Now we have to figure out how to stop the ship," stated Brooks.
"We have to get to Main Engineering," stated Leno.
The officers began their journey to Main Engineering, located on Deck 16.
Chapter 2
The Starfleet officers fought with the Jem'Hadar. The Starfleet officers won.
"Begin repairs to the warp drive and weapons," ordered Leno.
"Repairs will take eight hours," reported Lieutenant Commander Hall.
"We will be in Cardassian territory by that time," stated Brooks.
"We need the weapons more than the warp drive."
"Work on the both of them, but make the weapons top priority," ordered Leno.
Captain Leno and the rest of the bridge staff began working on repairs to the bridge.
"The rest of the crew has been locked up in the brig. Two have been killed," reported Brooks.
"They should be safe there," stated Leno.
A few hours later, the warp drive had finally been repaired. Repairs continued on the weapons systems.
"How much longer before the weapons systems are fixed?" asked Leno.
"Two more hours. I need a few things from the cargo bay," stated Hall.
"Take a team and get what you need," ordered Leno.
"The other starship will arrive in three hours," stated Jones.
"How much longer before we enter Cardassian territory?" asked Leno.
"Sixteen minutes," answered Brooks.
"We need those weapon systems," stated Leno.
"There's a group of Jem'Hadar moving towards the repair team," reported Jones.
"Send a security team. Take all measures to protect the repair team," ordered Leno.
"Peter has returned form the cargo bay," stated Brooks.
"We have stopped the Jem'Hadar for the moment. Repairs to some of the phasers and torpedo launchers are complete," reported Dayan.
"Return to Main Engineering," ordered Leno.
The security and repair teams returned to Main Engineering.
"Cut power and life support to the Main Bridge," ordered Leno.
"We have entered Cardassian territory," stated Jones.
"What do we now?" asked Hall.
"We retake the Main Bridge in a few minutes," answered Leno.
"The Lexington will be here in 41 minutes," reported Jones.
Captain Leno led a security team to the Main Bridge. The team was able to retake the Main Bridge.
"Bring the main systems on-line. Release the rest of the crew from the brig," ordered Leno.
"All systems ready," reported Brooks.
"Fire available weapons toward their tractor beams," ordered Leno.
"We are free," stated Jones.
"Take us out of Cardassian space, Warp 9.6," ordered Leno.
"They are following us," stated Jones.
"Get everyone off all decks, except 1 and 16, then cut life support to all other decks," ordered Leno.
"Most of the intruders have been located," reported Jones.
"Put them in the brig. Starfleet would like to have a talk with them," stated Leno.
"We can't locate 12 of them," stated Dayan.
"Do a deck-by-deck search."
"We have found two of them."
"Seal off the Main Bridge."
"Decks 1-7 have been searched."
We have retaken the ship. Repairs to the ship have also been made.
"We have found the rest of the intruders and every has been searched," stated Dayan.
"Ensign Murphy, take us to the nearest starbase, maximum warp," ordered Leno.
"We will arrive in six hours," replied Murphy.
Captain Leno went to his ready room and replicated a cup of coffee. Kamara walked in.
"Can I get something?" asked Leno.
"A cup of coffee would be nice."
"What brings you down here?"
"I just wanted to see you. The Jem'Hadar didn't find me. They didn't think to search the holodecks."
"The rest of the crew was sent to the brig."
"How much longer before the we exit Cardassian space?"
"A few more minutes," answered Leno.
"Captain, we are surrounded by Jem'Hadar ships," stated Brooks.
"On my way. Stay here, I'll be right back," stated Leno.

"Six minutes," answered Jones.
"Red alert," ordered Leno.
"Shielding is at 91%," reported Ensign Wilson.
"Evasive maneuvers," ordered Leno.
"We are losing power to Deck 3," reported Jones.
"Evacuate that deck," ordered Leno.
"The Lexington has entered weapon range," reported Jones.
"Two Jem'Hadar ships have lost propulsion systems," reported Jones.
"Shielding down to 60%," reported Wilson.
"We have broken away from the Jem'Hadar ships," reported Jones.
"What about the Lexington?" asked Leno.
"They are right behind us," answered Jones.
"The Jem'Hadar ships are following us," reported Murphy.
"Stand down," ordered Leno.
"Long-range sensors do not detect any Jem'Hadar ships," reported Jones.
"I will be in my ready room," stated Leno.
Captain Leno went to his ready room. Lieutenant Dayan walked in.
"I have to get going," stated Kamara.
"I'll see you later," stated Leno.
"What's happening with the prisoners?" asked Leno.
"Captain, the prisoners are becoming hostile," stated Dayan.
"Keep me informed," ordered Leno.
Lieutenant Dayan left to return to the brig. He found Lieutenant William Nash unconscious.
"I need a medical team in the brig," stated Dayan.
Doctor Adams rushed to the brig.
"What happened?" asked Adams.
"Some of the prisoners escaped and a fight broke out," answered Dayan.
"Captain Leno," stated Brooks, over the communication system.
"Go ahead," stated Leno.
"You are needed in the brig," stated Brooks.
Captain Leno went to the brig.
"What happened?" asked Leno.
"He was shot by a prisoner," answered Adams.
"A security team has been sent to look for the prisoners," stated Dayan.
"How is he doing?" asked Leno.
"We have to get him to sickbay," answered Adams.
Lieutenant Nash was rushed to sickbay. Captain Leno returned to the Main Bridge.
Two prisoners have escaped. They injured Lieutenant Nash. Nash is recovering in sickbay.
"We have found the prisoners. They have been returned to the brig," reported Dayan.
"Post more security officers on that deck," ordered Leno.
"Right away," answered Dayan.
"We will arrive to the starbase in 31 minutes," reported Murphy.
"They have prepared for the prisoners," reported Brooks.
"I can't wait to get them off the ship," stated Leno.
"It should take us 40 minutes to get them off," reported Brooks.
"I'm going to sickbay," stated Leno.
Captain went to sickbay to check up on Lieutenant Nash.
"How is he doing?" asked Leno.
"He will need a few days of rest. I will release sometime tomorrow," answered Adams.
"Can I talk to him?"
"For a few minutes. He needs his rest."
"How are you feeling?"
"I've been better. Have the prisoners been found?"
"They have been found and returned to the brig."
"Visiting hours are over," stated Adams.
"I'll come back tomorrow," stated Leno.
"Captain, we are approaching the starbase," stated Brooks.
"On my way."
"We have begun transporting the prisoners to the starbase. We should be done in 20 minutes," reported Brooks.
We have transported the prisoners to the starbase. Lieutenant Nash was released from sickbay a short time ago.
