Murphy went to work on the communication network, since his meeting with Commander Kelly. He had worked for 45 minutes non stop. And finally he had it working.
"Supply Base 901 this is New Canada, we are facing an attack. Please respond."
Murphy worked out how long it would take for the message to get there 5 hours. Murphy then went and gathered the Colony and tried to explain the situation, to them. He told them that the Son'a were planning an attack soon.
"Fine we keep 13 guards on duty tonight. And in the morning we will make our way to the forest and then to the mountains." The Colonies, governor said.
Woodrow was stressed out he waited in the Doctor's clinic next to the injured Commander Kelly. He had never seen battle face to face and hoped he wouldn't.
"Hey, wake up Murphy." Kelly said shaking Woodrow out of a sleep.
"What is it?"
"Sh, they are here."
"Oh crap." Murphy said standing up.
"No, get down and get a single to SB901, again."
Murphy got out of the rear of the building and saw 3 Son'a enter a house and the lights come on. Then he herd the unthink able.
Phaser fire, and baby crying for a few minutes then nothing after another phaser shot.
Sweet Jesus they mean to kill us all
Murphy made a made dash to the array near the power generator. He quickly launched another message.
"Oh god, were under attack, they're killing everyone." Murphy then sent it scrambled on a EM pulse.
Murphy then herd more phaser fire, and a few screams, the house next to his current position lights came on, and he saw one rather large humanoid much larger then a Son'a walk in. He walked in with a phaser rifle and fired three shots.
You sick piece of crap. Murphy thought he pulled out his phaser and placed it on Level 14. He walked up behind the unidentified alien and fired once.
The Alien vaporized, and Murphy then turned to see a group of ten Colonist gathered and executed at once. Murphy then herd some people say.
"What now?"
He turned and said "Come on lets get in the woods then the mountains."
As Murphy stepped into the woods he turned to see three buildings catch fire,and saw 20 Son' a and 70 of the unknown aliens beam down, he then took off for the Mountains with a group of 6 children, 4 Adults.
Murphy and his group of people reached the river and stopped to take a breather, they had been running non stop for 15 minutes.
"Okay come on the Mountains aren't that far." Murphy said taking a reading with his tricorder. He saw some strange readings, and decided to move on to the hills.
The early morning hours started to give way to predawn lighting, and fog dover. Murphy thought it was rather pretty. Then he herd a child scream to his left.
Woodrow turned and saw three Son'a making their way up the mountain,some 200 yards from Murphy's group.
The thoughts of combat training were to many for Murphy to remember, but he then knew what had to be done.
"Okay get down on the crack between the two boulders, don't come out until I give the okay."
The oldest of the adults was a 34 year old male, and he was as scared as Murphy. "Okay." The man said.
Murphy got down on his belly and crawled to the edge of ridge he was on.He then waited for about ten seconds.
Okay this isn't murder it's killing.
"Ah ah."Murphy yield out as he fired two shots from his phaser, the Son'a on the left vaporized. He then fired again, and fell short 4 inches, causing the rock to explode near second Son'a's feet.
The explosion tore off the Son'a's legs at the calf. He screamed out in pain, as his friend fired near Murphy head. Murphy rolled back and turned to see one of those Aliens he first killed fire into the crackwhere the colonist were hiding.
"Hey you big bastard, try me someone that has a weapon." Murphy yield out as he fired three shots, hitting the alien,but not vaporizing him.
Murphy then rolled back and saw the Son'a replacing a power cell, in his rifle. Murphy fired again.Hitting the Son'a causing him to fall backand over the cliff.
Woodrow walked over and checked and saw that two kids were killed. He felt very angry and upset at what was happening.
He then picked up the unknown Alien's phaser rifle and power packs. He then turned the Alien over and saw his mouth was covered by a mask type thing.
"Hey Murphy." A voice on top of the bluff yield out. Murphy looked up and saw Kelly, with about 13 colonist. He felt a bit better now, but not much.
"Yes Commander."
Bring the people up here we are close the dilithuim mines, they can't transport there, or fire with out destroying themselves."
Kelly had his red command shirt on and no tunic, he also had a phaser from 2290's and a old cardassian phaser rifle.
