Captain Wallace, sat in his command chair tapping the arm rest, he was very uneasy. However he made the crew a bit unnerved, by his constant tapping of the arm console. Commander Kelly walked over from the Tactical and Engineering display station 2. Kelly then turned towards the Captain's Chair.
"Sir the phaser banks, and the shields are fully charged," Kelly said with a bit of calmness in his voice.
Kelly then walked over back to thee main Tactical station, and took a seat. Wallace remained very quite, he didn't speak much. He checked the time, and the mission had been underway for 2 hours, and 13 minutes. He grew very unsettled as he knew the enemy's base was on the horizon.
Come on, hold yourself together and you'll get everyone involved with it out in piece.
The helmsman, a young female Ensign who had been out of the academy 10 months, manned the Helm. Ensign Kelvin was back on SB901, with Commander Garek.
"Sir we will approach the enemy ship building factory in 34 minutes," The ensign said touching a few buttons on the controls.
"Alright, all hands red alert, and phaser's for everyone," Wallace said opening the ship's intercom then closed it. Wallace was then handed a phaser by Commander Kelly.
"Sir you alright?" Kelly asked.
"No not really, I have a bad feeling something is going to happen. Any ways get to your station." Richard took his seat at the center of the bridge.
Petty Officer Murphy was acting Chief Engineer on the Arizona, he made his way to the bridge. He was very shaky as well. he took his seat at Engineering and Weapons station 1, to the left of the helms person. He pressed a few things on the panels in front of him, and then read the screen aloud.
"Captain, we are having a bit of a problem on the torque internal dampers. If we don't get them back and stable, we will have a hard time to maneuver while under pressure." Murphy said turning his chair around, to face the captain.
"How much time before we arrive at the target?" Wallace asked.
"27 minutes Captain." The young ensign replied.
"We'll I take it then Captain I have 11 minutes, to solve a 30 minute repair problem."Murphy said tapping his comm badge to get hold of a few Engineers.
The Arizona was in view of the target, and Wallace had it placed on the view screen. The ship under construction was still in place, but 69% complete. The remaining Son'a fleet was orbit of the Bak'u planet. Wallace asked for scans of any potential threats other then the Son'a fleet.
"No other ships, with in range of us, other then the Son'a ships." Kelly said with a smile.
Wallace sat back in his chair, and crossed his legs, and then quit tapping his arm rest. "Mister Murphy, pulse phaser cannon status?" Wallace asked.
"Phasers are at 100% Captain." Murphy said, with a calm manner.
"Kelly lock phasers, on the ship building stricter. Helm take us in at 1/2 impulse power." Wallace said giving a smile.
The Arizona flew towards the target, and the four pulse phaser cannons fired at the same location on the construction station. The fire made it's mark, and cause sever damage, and explosions. Wallace stood up, and yield.
"Helm come about 40 degrees, Kelly fire 3 tricoblat torpedoes, at the ships, Engineering section."
"Sir I pick up a stable warp core matrix, the tricobalt devices, will destroy everything within 200 meters, of the explosion."Kelly said.
"Your damn, right. Helm full impulse." The ship excelled at high speed, and Kelly fired the torpedoes, and they found their mark. The explosion was magnificent fire works display. The Arizona was hit by the shock wave, and knocking out a few plasma conduits. And a few people were hurt. Wallace walked around the bridge, not too happy. "Murphy damage report !!!" Wallace yelled out.
"Sensor masking system is fried, and the navigation relay has been damaged." Murphy said turning his chair around.
Damn, Wallace thought, but he also knew the navigation relay needed repair.
"Damn, Murphy get down there and fix it. Kelly you ever piloted a ship manually?" Wallace asked as a plasma conduit exploded.
"Yes, but..." Kelly said, as Wallace pointed at the helm.
Richard took the main tactical station, and began to scan for the enemy. His scans picked up three Son'a ships. Wallace needed to buy some time for Petty Officer Murphy.
"Kelly, come to 031 mark 2." Wallace yelled.
"Sir but that is the lead Son'a ship. Your either crazy, or braver then your reputation has it." Kelly said sliding his hands over the helm.
The Son'a Capital ship fired, a phaser blast at the Arizona hitting near the shuttle bay underneath the bridge, some 4 decks below. Wallace was not phased by the explosion on the bridge. He had locked two of the ships pulse phaser cannons, and one Quantum torpedo, on the Capital ship. He waited wait seemed like an eternity to fire.
"Take that, you patog." Wallace said firing the phaser and torpedo.
The Son'a Capital ship took a hard hit, but the Arizona's attack only cause minimal damage, to the ship, but it was enough.
[Sir the relay is fixed for now.] The comm channel livened up with Murphy's voice.
"You herd that Kelly, get us home Warp 7.9"
The Arizona excelled to high warp speed, and the plans was now in full motion. Wallace stood up, and walked around the bridge, and noticed a few sparks, coming from over head, and an injured Ensign from Engineering, or Security. "Casualties."
"Three crew wounded." Kelly said, in a rather joyful voice.
"Very well, status of the Son'a?" Wallace asked, taking his seat.
"Son'a are perusing at Warp 4.9, whatever you did to the lead ship worked." The young female ensign said back from her station.
"Of course, not even the Son'a can't go without reserve power to the warp matrix. Lieutenant Nugent open a secure come link to SB901."
"It's open." Nugent said from her station.
"SB901 the operation is under way. Stand by for casualties. Wallace out."
