Bremer looked over the sensor readings of the Klingon fleet. They had lost over one third of their ships already, but thankfully his own Task Force had suffered no losses...but several ships were reporting moderate to heavy damage.

As another Vorcha' exploded, Toral's ship turned away and three of the remaining Birds of Prey formed up on it...

"Admiral, Toral's ship...they are preparing to go to warp." Harrison reported.

"Chief, pursuit course!" Mike ordered.

As the Pegasus turned to follow Toral's Negh'Var, she was hit by weapons fire from General Tarq's ship...

As the Pegasus shook from the disruptor and torpedo hits, alarms started to sound on the Bridge, "Forward shields down to thirty-seven percent. We have EPS conduits rupturing on decks five though ten of the saucer section. Minor hull breach on deck seven, force fields in place." Harrison read from her panel.

"Send damage control teams. Have all of our ships form up on us, target Tarq's Negh'Var and disable his weapons and engines!" Mike replied as he looked at the damage report on his panel.

While General Tarq was covering Toral's escape, all remaining Klingon ships formed up on Toral's Negh'Var, before they jumped to warp.

While Pegasus returned fire, hitting Tarq's ship, the other Federation vessels swooped in and opened fire too. Within moments, the powerful Negh'Var class ship started drifting. The glow inside her nacelles flickered then went out as the ship's weapons ceased firing. She was dead in the water.

Mike looked at the crippled vessel on the screen. His Klingon half wanted him to finish her off, giving the warriors aboard an honorable death...but General Tarq's actions had been less than honorable. Mike also knew he needed Tarq alive...he had some explaining to do.

"Sir, the General's ship won't be going anywhere for a while, it'll take them at least six hours to get warp engines back online." Reported the Ensign at the Intel position.

"What's the closest Starship?"

"The USS Shran is, three hours out. Starfleet Command dispatched them and three other vessels to assist." The Ensign replied.

Mike looked pulled up the USS Sharan's specs. Akira class, and Andorian Captain K'mare was a Dominion War veteran with plenty of combat experience...Mike knew General Tarq wouldn't be going anywhere with K'mare watching over him. It would be up to Starfleet Command though on how they would take the General into custody, if the ship would have to be boarded or not.

With General Tarq's ship disabled, the Federation ships formed up with the Pegasus and blasted off at warp in pursuit of the Toral the Klingons...

"Chief...where's he headed?" Mike asked of his long time Flight Controller.

"I'm not sure sir...but the course he's on will take us closer toward SB400. Problem is, if he stayed on this heading, we'll enter Romulan space before we get to Klingon territory. We're ten hours from Romulan space at this speed, another two from Klingon space."

Mike stood from his chair. He didn't like that answer, but in a way, he wasn't surprise. "Understood. Captain, inform SB400 and Vice Admiral Stryfe, and have all ships submit damage reports. I'll be in my Ready Room talking to Chancellor Martok and Starfleet Command."
