"Kelly," Wallace called out and heard no reply. He turned his seat to see Kelly laying on the floor next his post knocked out.
"Doctor Charrin. Medical emergency to the bridge,"Richard said tapping his comm badge.
[Be there soon.]
Richard walked over to Kelly's abandon post, and sat down. He couldn't understand why Walker would fight such a losing battle.
"Sir it appears that we have his answer," Nugent said looking at the Commander.
"Ensign bring us to it's present position," Wallace said as he saw the thruster's on the Wellington were working. "Murphy beam as man crew as possible into the cargo bay and put a level 4 force field around them." Richard still wanted to save as many lives as possible.
According to Wallace's thinking the Wellington was out of torpedos, and was making a suicide run towards the Cardassin warship.
"Damn targeting sensors and locking systems for the weapons are offline. However, I have thirteen in the cargo bay. Kelvin lock a tractor beam onto the Wellington!" Wallace yelled.
"I can't it's off line," Kelvin replied.
"Sir, we are receiving a download of sensor data from the Wellington, "Nugent said.
"Sir, 31 seconds until the Wellington rams the Cardassian warship," Razek said. The Wellington had crippled the Cardassian ship's shields and weapons including their tractor beam.
The saucer section began to crumple as it impacted the Galor class ship. Half way through the saucer section the Wellington reached a core breech. The explosion was massive and the shock wave hit the Arizona, and caused it bank up 90 degrees causing people to fall out of their chairs. After about a minute everyone scrambled back to their post and began a system's check.
"Ensign Kelvin scan for life pods?" Wallace asked in the hopes that some how someone survived.
"None sir, 156 people killed on the Cardassian ship, and 45 on the
Wellington, "Kelvin said.
Richard's heart sank at hearing this and at that moment Garek came to the bridge. Wallace hung his head low and yelled out.
"Goddamn it!!" Richard yelled, slamming his fist on the bridge console and cracked the console cutting his hand. "Damage report Mister Loran."
Garek knew that all wasn't well with Commander Wallace, he knew the only time he was addressed that way, was when Wallace was upset. Truth was Richard felt guilty and, didn't want to relive this ever again. For he had just killed several hundred people. People that wore the same uniform as him.
"Navigation is off-line and shields generators are damaged," Garek said in a rather respectful tone.
"Alright lets get to work."
Three hours later he went down to sickbay and spoke with Doctor Charrin. "Nothing much here sir, bumps bruises a few burns and one death, "The Doctor gave a concerned look at the Commander and asked.
"Sir are you all alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Where is Commander Kelly?"
"I sent him back to rest in his quarters for three hours."
[Commander Nevar here come in Captain.]
"Go ahead," Wallace said tapping his badge.
[Well sir nothing real major to report, All the away team from the Wellington is in the cargo bay.]
"Very well. I expect a report. In about three hours."
"Mister Kelvin plot a course to Deep Space 9, Warp 7. Lets get the sam hell out this place."
[Aye Aye sir.]
The flight to DS9 was rather quite not much was said around the ship, it appeared to be a bad dream, that they all shared.
Richard wrote a 26 page report to Star Fleet Command detailing the battle and the capture of the remaining officers. After a few hours he went to his quarters and fell asleep.
