“Mission Almost Accomplished or Not”
(contd from Taylor’s ‘118’)
Location: USS CHANTICO
SD: 2.80412.1435
Scene: Bridge
TI: Occurring simultaneously with Kim’s last post
Thomas Varn reported without having taken his eyes off the readings on the screen. “Commander, sensors show no signs of Commander Davidson down in the facility.”
Kate’s eyes grew wide in alarm and panic began to instantly deluge her mind. **Oh no! We’re too late! ** She held back tears as her eyes changed colour from purple to black. The Scot knew it was not the proper time to grieve and that she had a job to do. She heard Eishnala question the CSciO.
“Are you positive?”
Varn answered, grimacing. “I wish I wasn’t.” He quickly danced his fingers on the console, double checking the information collected by the sensors. A second later, the science officer informed, glancing at the ExO. “No, she’s not on the planet.”
Trella suggested. “Commander, how about that Dominion vessel in orbit near our position? She could be there.”
“Mr. Varn,” Eishnala ordered without hesitation in response to the Vissian woman’s suggestion. “Scan the ship for her biosignature.”
Thomas complied. “Yes ma’am.”
MacNeil thought to herself as her heartbeat rose. **Hope she’s there and safe. ** Little did the hybrid know her CO was in a bad state, after having died and then brought back to life through Borg technology. The former doctor was going to be in for a shock after Daisy was found.
“I’m detecting Commander Davidson’s lifesigns on that vessel,” the Varn informed, causing Kate to inwardly feel relieved.
Quickly turning her attention to MacNeil, the Andorian ordered. “Commander, contact the HELLESPONT and the COMMENDATION. Tell them Commander Davidson is on that Dominion vessel.”
“Understood,” the Scot nodded as she proceeded to contact the other two starships.
Crichton warned. “Well you need to get her out soon because my readings show the enemy vessel is powering up its engines.”
--------------------------
Location: USS COMMENDATION
Scene: Bridge
Commander Lena Daiuon reported. “Incoming message from the CHANTICO stating Commander Davidson is on the Dominion vessel that is preparing to depart.”
“The vessel also powered up their weapons and heading towards our position,” Lt. Cmdr. Haley informed from tactical.
The COMMENDATION’s ExO, Commander G’blok growled. “Those cowards are making their escape and will gun us down in the way.”
“They very likely realize we didn’t come here alone and may have called for reinforcements,” Lt. Evelyn Williams remarked dryly.
Anaqueen stared at the large enemy vessel looming in the viewscreen for a moment and decided, addressing the helm officer. “Ensign, set course for the Dominion vessel with engines at full impulse.”
“Aye Captain,” the Ocampan replied as the ship revved up its engines and headed straight for the enemy ship that held the GATEWAY CO. The plan was to prevent the ship from leaving the area and successfully rescue Davidson. The COMMENDATION moved swiftly around the starboard side of the Dominion vessel.
“Cmdr. Haley,” Ana began, narrowing her eyes at the sight of the enemy. “Target all our phasers at their shields and fire.” Within moments, laser beams streamed out from the saucer section and hit the enemy ship.
Matthew informed. “Target hit and their shields are down at 80 percent.”
“Keep going till their shields weaken to the point where they can’t hold any longer,” Ana ordered. The other officer complied and more phaser beams sprang out, hitting the enemy. This time however the Dominion was not going to keep quiet.
“They’re returning fire,” Haley announced.
Ana ordered. “Evasive action.” The ship titled at 30 degrees to its aft side to avoid impact with the weapons fire. Parts of the ship’s hull managed to be hit causing the battle cruiser to rock slightly. Matthew informed the COMMENDATION’s shields were still holding and continued to fire phasers relentlessly at the enemy.
“Enemy vessel’s shields have dropped to close to zero percent,” the Sec/Tac reported.
“Target their engines and launch a photon torpedo. We need to disable that ship,” Spankryz ordered. A single photon torpedo was sent out towards the Dominion vessel and instantly took out its engines, rendering them immobile.
Turning to the Betazoid Ops officer, Ana ordered. “Contact the HELLESPONT. Tell them they can board the vessel and extract Commander Davidson.”

Location: USS CHANTICO
Scene: Bridge
Jake informed, glancing at his superior with a tiny smile. “Commander, the COMMENDATION has managed to disable the Dominion vessel.”
“Thank you, Mr. Crichton,” Kor replied, sighing inwardly with relief. She was thinking of the Federation personnel the marine teams had sent back. The number of wounded was reported to be high and that did not surprise anyone considering the harsh conditions of Dominion prison camps. Doctor Poe informed the Andorian the casualties so far were modest with around twenty dead and the rest suffering from mild to critical injuries.
Thomas announced. “I have a lock on Commander Davidson’s position.” Kate, without anyone looking, closed her eyes for a brief second and sighed with relief but at the same time was worried for Daisy’s condition.
Eishnala ordered. “Beam her directly to sickbay.”
“Yes ma’am,” the young man nodded.
“Have you located Cmdr. Drake?” The GATEWAY’s first officer inquired, one of her antennae bending slightly forward.
Varn shook his head. “Not yet.”
Kor urged. “Keep at it.”
[[Poe to Bridge,]] the GATEWAY’s aCMO spoke.
Eishnala acknowledged. “Bridge here. Status report of Commander Davidson.”
The Orion doctor informed. [[Commander Davidson is in serious physical condition.]]
“How bad is it?” The ExO questioned, sounding calm as her eyes darted to the tall Operations officer whose face paled slightly.
[[Initial examination reveals she has been injected with Borg nanites.]] The revelation drew shocked looks from everyone in the room. Kate blanched, suddenly recalling her own assimilation into Borg and the traumatic recovery she had to go through. She was saddened at Daisy’s ordeal and was outraged at the Dominion, thinking they were the ones responsible. The half-Nuimon yearned to be in sickbay and regretted losing her cool in front of that reporter, which led to the suspension of her medical license. She suddenly felt helpless at the moment and wished to be down there in sickbay tending to the wounded.
[[She is not assimilated and is currently placed in isolation from the other patients,]] Grace continued with her report. [[Counselor Nurunyun is there with the Commander, assessing her mental well-being.]]
“Thank you for the report, doctor.” Eishnala nodded. “Keep me updated on the situation.”
[[Yes ma’am,]] the aCMO said before ending the conversation.
The ship shook, causing Kor to question as she held onto her chair’s handle. “Report?”
“The Dominion vessel that held Daisy exploded due to an energy overload in their warp core,” Jake explained, studying the information on his console screen.
Kate jumped in. “COMMENDATION sends a message stating the threat posed by the enemy vessel has been eliminated.” After the Daisy and the marine teams escaped, the Dominion ship made one last desperate offensive against the COMMENDATION. But the Starfleet vessel managed to thwart the attack by sending two photon torpedoes to destroy the enemy ship.
Eishnala pointed out, sounding concerned. “We will need to speed up our efforts as the Dominion will surely send reinforcements.”
“I’ve located Cmdr. Drake,” Thomas announced, confusion etched in his facial expression. “But there is a slight problem.”
“What kind of problem?” The Andorian questioned, raising an eyebrow.
“Bravo team reports sighting multiple copies of the Commander.”
Trella suggested. “Due to time constraints, I propose bringing all of them onboard and sort out the ‘real’ Cmdr. Drake later.”
Kathryn announced, quickly rotating in her seat before the ExO opened her mouth. “Commander, the COMMENDATION has sent an urgent message regarding Dominion reinforcements on their way here. ETA 12 minutes.”
“How many ships?”
The Scot gulped before answering, her voice tinged with nervousness. “Ten.”

NRPG: So still a few more things to do here, get Drake (and maybe his clones) to the CHANTICO and escape before the Dominion reinforcements arrive or whatever anyone writes next in this story :)
