"Combat"


Author: Cadet 3rd Class Ethan Razek
Earthdate: March 11, 2384
Location: USS Arizona

The Arizona had just made it's first past over the Wellington knocking out her means of escape. A brilliant move by Commander Wallace, Razek thought to himself.

"Sir they are launching 5 quantum torpedos our way, however they aren't locked on sir," Kelly said from the master weapons control.

"Damn it Garek I thought we were undetectable?" Wallace asked, tapping his comm badge.

[We are sir to sensors, however they still have a view screen,] Garek said over the comm channel.

Then, a large jolt shook the Arizona, and caused a few people to shake in their seats. Razek scanned using the ships damage report console that was part of his controls. "Sir shields holding at 100%," Razek said turning towards the Commander.

"Alright helm come about, and come at them 1/2 impulse and 4 meters above their hull," Captain Wallace shouted aloud.

Another torpedo found it's mark underneath the Arizona. One man on the bridge fell out of the chair and hit his head on floor knocking him out.

"Well Cadet!! Are you going to let them fire on us unchallenged?" Wallace was getting rather firm.

Ethan locked all four pulse phaser cannons on the main sensor pallet on the Wellington, and fired a standard burst. The burst hit it's mark causing a deep explosion on the Wellington. Going three decks down, fire now came from the hole.

"Sir their main sensor array is gone and we've caused a hull breach," Commander Kelly said.

"We are receiving a hail from Walker," Lieutenant Nugent said.

"On Screen."

The screen came alive with Walker and his first officer a few fires raged behind him, [What are you doing. Your helping the enemy.]

"The hell I am. We are at peace and you have broke the peace, and committed murder, treason, grand theft," Wallace said in a very firm voice.

[Richard don't make me destroy you.]

"Yeah right old man. I have caught you with your pants down, and there are two Galor class ships on our way now."

[You want a battle Wallace I'll give you one.] The screen went blank.

"Mister Kelly fire 8 torpedos at targets of your digression. Mister Razek take out their main phaser bank."

The Arizona passed over the Wellington firing away and taking a few hits as well. On the bridge on the Arizona one plasma conduit exploded killing the man next Razek.

Ethan took a quick glance and saw the man's face was but pudding now. Blood dripped every where.

Shit I don't like this. That could be me laying there.
