Replying, Hurd said, ''Aye aye sir, I'll have the Marsoc, and well as the Force Recon units on standby alert.''

Saith nodded acknowledging the order. In her head she began making up a duty roster to cover the extra patrolling. Getting up she headed for Security.

Coleman nodded before going back to Main Engineering to continue the work on the Warp Core and Structural Integrity. He was trying to get it done as quickly as possible. He pressed his combadge, saying, "Commander Coleman to Lt. Gillo. Could you please report to Main Engineering please?"

As the group broke up, Mike headed for Sick Bay. He wanted to check on Pike and Vid-Lotilija, as well as make sure Harrison was alright. He also wanted to check on Christopher and Janice, but made up his mind he wouldn't speak to her, he didn't want to stress her out any more than she already was.

After a few minutes, Mike arrived in Sick Bay. He saw Becca sitting with Christopher who was still sleeping. Janice was also out of bed and with their son. Mike smiled at Becca as she watched him entered, but when Janice looked up the smile went away. Husband and wife locked eyes for a moment before both looked away.

In Alex's peripheral, she saw Mike walk in. As she turned towards Mike, she saw how Janice reacted to him. She sighed as she turned her attention back to Lee.

Mike then walked over to the bio-bed Pike was laying in. Harrison was there and Mike gently put his hand on her back, "How is he?"

"Dr. Brislan is working on his facial burns right now. He's still unconscious and she won't know anything until he wakes up." Although Alex was concerned about Lee, she was equally worried about Mike whom she had come to deeply respect. "What about you? How are you doing?"

Mike flashed a half-smile, "I'm okay, I'll be better once we get K'Wor back."

As he finished his sentence, Becca walked up, "Why did this happen?" Her eyes were red from crying.

Mike, not sure what to say at the moment, just replied, "I don't know."

"Admiral, Christopher is waking up." Doctor Mclintock called out from the other side of Sick Bay.

Mike and Becca walked over, Christopher had his eyes open and was looking up at his parents and older half-sister as Doctor Mclintock scanned him. "Vitals are normal, but he'll have a bruise on his head for a while. I'd like to keep him for another few hours for observations, but he should be released later today." She smiled warmly at the little boy before walking away to check on her other patients.

Mike rubbed his son's head gently, "Hey little buddy."

"I don't feel good." His son replied.

Mike's eyes watered again, but before he could say anything, Janice did. "I'll be here with him, go catch that son of a bitch."

Mike looked at his wife, then nodded before heading back for the Bridge.

Alex looked over at Janice but she wasn't sure if anything she said to Janice sunk in or not. "Don't worry. Westmoreland will get what's coming to him."

Recounting and double-checking the extra Security protocols, crews, and plans Saith finally stepped back from the terminal with satisfaction. She had added extra patrols, extra personnel stationed at important areas of the ship, and made sure the shifts would change at irregular intervals to make them harder to track. She had two teams ready to go for emergencies in case a decoy was employed, and still had teams working on the wreckage evidence. She logged out of the Security terminal, grabbed a salad from the replicator and headed for the bridge.

Mike arrived back on the Bridge. He watched the view screen for a few minutes. His son was on the small vessel they were following, but the Pegasus was still just out of range. Westmoreland had known just where to place his charges to disable the Pegasus…only the bravery of Vid-Lotilija and Pike saved the ship from what could have been heavy damage.

He wondered if the Essex had left Starbase 400 for Earth yet. It would take them about as long to reach Earth as it would for the Starlighter and Pegasus to reach Remu III.





“I thought you said they wouldn’t be able to follow us, or maintain pursuit for long?”

“They must of modified the internal design of the Galaxy Refit after I left the Pegasus-A or after her destruction.” Westmoreland replied.

The man shook his head, “I think you’re losing your nerve.” He stood up as a challenge to Westmoreland.

Jon also stood up, “I haven’t lost anything, we’re proceeding with the plan.”

“First you say we’re going to kill some Starfleet trash, then destroy the Pegasus. So far, only one Starfleeter is dead and two little brats…only because I killed them! The two Officers you went after lived, and the Pegasus is behind us.” The man crossed his arms and smirked.

K’Wor looked up at the man that pulled the trigger that murdered his brother and sister. He wanted to get up and snap the man’s neck, but he couldn’t get his arms free no matter how hard he tried.

Westmoreland stepped closer to his insubordinate crewmember, glanced at the other crewmember aboard the Starlighter, then punched his unruly companion, dropping him to the deck. “I told you NOT to target the kids…and if you try to usurp my authority again you’ll find yourself floating outside the airlock. Got it?”

The man looked up, and nodded before returning to his seat quietly.

K’Wor glanced at Westmoreland, then stared back at the other man….





Mike had taken his seat and was awaiting a status report from Coleman and Gillo, as well as an update from Sick Bay on Pike’s and Vid-Lotilija’s condition…

She walked so she could eat while she went; just finishing the salad as she neared the turbolift. Depositing the salad plate in the disposal she stepped onto the turbolift and headed to the bridge. Once there, Saith logged into the Security terminal, double-checked that everything was happening as she had planned and made a brief report for the Admiral. Taking the PADD she moved to where Bremer was and handed it to him. “Security is ready sir.” When he was done she returned to her station as the lift doors opened.

Coleman and Gillo walked off the turbolift, onto the bridge. They walked over to where the Admiral was seated and Coleman handed him a PADD. "Sir, we've gotten as much repair done to the structural integrity and the SIFs as we could without being at dock. Lt. Gillo helped make it where we could go to Warp 9 again with what we were able to do. It's all in our report, sir."

Mike smirked, "Thank you, both of you. Take your stations." Now, he knew the Pegasus could easily over take the Starlighter at anytime...question was, when to strike?

Tressa walked onto the Bridge, "Admiral, do you have a moment?"

Mike looked back, concerned. "Of course, my Ready Room." He stood and walked toward his Ready Room, "K'Temoc you have the Bridge."

Once inside, he turned back to the Doctor, "What can I do for you?"

"Lieutenant Vid-Lotilija has been treated and released, and Captain Pike is awake now. He is being treated for brain trauma and is currently undergoing cognitive and motor skills testing. We do not anticipate any major problems, as he has no obvious symptoms of brain injury," she began.

Mike let a smile show, "That's good news." He made a mental note to call Vid-Lotilija and Harrison to the Bridge. He would need them both in the coming hours. He knew, maybe better than anyone, how hard it would be for Alex to return to the Bridge with Lee still in Sick Bay, but he needed her at her post.

"Your wife and son are well, all things considered," the doctor continued. "Physically they are recovering at a normal pace, however it is their emotional health which concerns me. Janice is understandably upset by the attack but she seems very withdrawn. Christopher is anxious and showing symptoms of depression."

"I'm sure Christopher is still in shock, this is all knew to him." Mike replied, after all he was only three. He couldn't imagine what was going on in his mind. He was more concerned with Janice. As a Marine, she'd seen her share of battle during the Dominion War, but with her being withdrawn, he was worried she would laps into a depression again, possibly start drinking again too.

"Thank you for letting me know. If you see any changes in their condition, please let me know. When do you plan to release them?"

"I would like the counselor to speak with them before we release them, and she will probably want to speak with you as well. We will keep you informed, Admiral."

Mike took a breath before replying, “Counselor Dallas remained on the Station when we left. However when we return, I agree we should all speak to her. Thank you Doctor.”

Both left the Ready Room. Mike returned to the Bridge as Brislan returned to Sick Bay.

Pike was having some tests done so Alex left Sickbay and went back to the bridge to take her place there. Alex walked onto the bridge and relieved Roebuck.

Roebuck logged out of the Tactical Station so Alex could log in. He updated her on the current situation, in pursuit of the Starlighter still, holding just outside weapons range at warp six, but now they had the power restored to overtake when the order was given.

Roebuck then stepped back to the Mission Ops station and logged in there. “Admiral, there’s been a call for a Medical Team on Deck Five, outside Vid-Lotilija’s Quarters. Passer-byes state she became dizzy and collapsed. She’s being taken to Sick Bay.”

Mike lowered his head and took a breath…this wasn’t good….






David had just finished buckling on his body armor, and checking his comms equipment as he walked over to his personal weapon's locker. He keyed his security code, and it opened with a subtle hiss. He first pulled out a standard hand phaser, a modified Type-3E Phaser Rifle, and grenades and extra power packs. After securing these to his combat harness, he reached in and pulled out one of his most treasured possessions, a USMC 20th century K-Bar combat knife. He slid it into a sheath taped to the upper part of his vest. The next item he pulled out, was his most treasured possession. A M1911-A1 .45 ACP pistol. He checked it to make sure a round was chamber, and that the clip was full, and he put it in a holster on the other side of his hand phaser, along with a couple extra clips. He kept this weapon not only for sentimental value, but also for use in places where dampening field prevented energy weapon's use. Looking back into the locker, a smile spread across his face. He tapped his combadge, and said, ''Hurd to Admiral Bremer, could you please report to Marine Armory 1?''


Mike had left the Bridge and headed for Deck Six, 'Marine Country' aboard the USS Pegasus.

He walked into the Marine Armory. "You needed to speak with me?"

''Aye sir, that I did'', David said as he reached back into his weapon's locker, and withdrew a Bat'Leth. ''Sir, I am aware you also probably have one of your own, but I would be honored if you would carry this into the coming battle.''

Mike took the bat'leth from Hurd and stepped back. He spun the sword, checking it's balance. "maj".

''Also, sir, I would like it if you would give my troops an inspection.''. Turning to the Marines behind him, David said, '' Fall in NOW!!'' At that command, over sixty pairs of boots feel into a single line, awaiting inspection.

Mike cradled the bat'leth in his right arm as he walked up and down the line. The Marines looked sharp, he'd expected nothing less. After inspecting everyone, including the Lieutenant Colonel, he turned to face them all. He glanced at the bat'leth, the back at the troops, "Qapla'!"
