Tunis stood looking at the insides of the Genesis device before they were placed inside their torpedo. I have never killed a single soul in my life or my past life. Heck, I saved lives. Now I'll kill a whole population!
The door slid open to the torpedo bay, and an older Lieutenant walked over wearing the gold uniform. He looked at Lieutenant Tunis and figured out who he was. "Well Lieutenant. It's time to ready the device. I know that you're asking yourself, 'How can I live with this?'"
Tunis didn't say anything, but changed the subject. "I am sorry, do I know you?"
"Sorry. I'm Lieutenant Taylor, senior tactical advisor during this present situation."
Lunis walked over and handed a PADD to Taylor. "The device is ready." He walked over to an engineering crewman and told him to get the weapon ready. He then walked over to the older Lieutenant and said, "Listen, I read of your actions at the academy. It's required reading, but I am not going to end up a killer like you sir. I am doing this for the Federation, but I don't have to like it."
Tunis walked out and headed for his post, then the ship went to red alert.
Location: Security Office
MacLeod was pleased to hear the order for Red Alert. He longed for battle, not to kill but to prove his worth to his crewmates and his CO. He holstered his phaser and picked up a phaser rifle and started to check it's power source.
Just then Tyran Nige walked in and took a look at MacLeod. "It appears you're ready."
"Jem'Hadar are born ready. I am remembering the Jem'Hadar motto -- 'Victory is life'."
Tyran knew it to be true. "Listen, if we don't win today everyone here is as good as dead."
MacLeod took his phaser rifle and threw it over his shoulder and he picked up a throwing knife and placed it in his tunic.
"Come, let's get to work."
