An Enterpriseing Venture
Naomi looked at the PADD on her desk which contained intercepted communications from Section 31. Starbase 12's receivers had picked it up several hours ago and a ship dispatched for attempted decoding.
"With your permission" said Icheb, "I would like a member of my crew to attempt to break the code and read the message. If he can do it, then we will be able to read their messages and find out what Section 31 is planning to do next" and Naomi nodded.
"Send him in" she agreed. Icheb pressed a button on the desk panel and allowed a man to enter.
"This is Commander Ary Boender. One of his hobbies is communications and encryption protocols. He thinks that he may be able to break their encryption codes and see what Section 31 are saying to their units" Icheb said.
"If we check each ship's communication logs, then I should be able to go over those as well" Boender said.
"How do you go about this?" Naomi asked.
"I go about looking for numbers and oddities" Boender said, and a smile crossed his face for no reason it seemed. "If a message is repeated a couple of times, then it could be that a person, unit or ship has not replied. This is useful to me because I can then look for code names for sender and receiver – helping me to find message sent or heard by them at a later time" and he went into detail over what he would do. Naomi handed him the latest message heard and asked him to start work at once.
"You are relieved of all other duties except for this" she said. "Tell nobody what you are working on, and do a copy of everything into hardcopy" and Boender nodded and left with the PADD.
#
The work was long and hard, but Boender kept working at the message well into the night.

This message might hold some answers as there were a lot of repeated numbers in the message, and this made Boender think they might mean a common word or something that is repeated a lot. Without one of the decoding algorithms though, he was still no closer to decoding it then he was when he started it.
The ships of the fleet were repaired and rearmed to the best ability of the small fleet. Long range communications from Starbase 12 intercepted reports of a large fleet assembling around Camus II, but they could not make out to which side the fleet belonged to. What was clear over the hours and days that followed was Captain Picard was the senior most officer of the free fleet of the Federation. Knowing that he did not have many Quantum Torpedoes, Naomi had half her stockpile loaded aboard four Excelsior and Ambassador class ships which warped to Picard's base in strict radio silence. Their orders were to communicate via morse code using the navigation lights. As for the rest of Naomi's fleet, she had a combat fleet of roughly twenty four vessels including the Voyager and she was planning on doing something that would bring this war to an end. A coded message had been sent with the convoy, requesting all information on the ships Picard had faced. Whilst relaxing with Mezoti in their quarters aboard the station, she had come upon an old World War II movie where one innocent looking ship was shown to be a vessel of an opposing side. The pair of them came up with the idea to change the markings of several of their ships and alter the transponder codes so the Section 31 loyal vessels assumed they were friendly and let them pass without a problem. The ships would then be fired upon and disabled, boarded and then taken with the crew as prisoners of war.
"What is going on in there?" asked Naomi.
"We're modifying the sensors on a number of probes" Mezoti replied. "A couple of our communication and science specialists came up with the idea embedding them in asteroids around the outer edge of the system. They could alert us to incoming vessels before the fleet detect them. Reducing the number of ships out on patrol reduces wear and tear on equipment. We'd still have some ships on a constant yellow alert, but they would rotate on a four hour shift" and Naomi nodded.
"We might also be able to do some maintenance of ship's nacelles" she agreed. "They have to be completely powered down before work can start" the woman added.
"We'll deploy them using shuttles to land on each asteroid. Actually works out quicker then a starship" Mezoti showed her wife to the next lab. A number of engineering and science people were going over lumps of charred equipment and debris that had come from various starships. "We're analysing parts of the debris in order to find out if Section 31 have been arming their vessels with more powerful weapons. If they are, then we might be able to come up with new shield harmonics to offset this" and the intercom went off and Cannon's voice filtered through the air.
"Ops to Captain Wildman"
"Naomi here" Naomi tapped her com badge.
"We're receiving a message from our convoy" Cannon said. "They encountered a number of ships whilst on route and they were unable to get past them. The enemy vessels stopped pursuing after a few minutes. They are on their way back here. They also picked up a coded message for you"
"I am on my way, Naomi out" Naomi left the lab with Mezoti following close behind. They used codes to override the normal flow of traffic and went right to Operations.
#
"Send the message to my console" Naomi ordered as she stepped off the lift.
"Understood" Cannon said. Naomi and Mezoti went into the former commandant's office and ordered the doors locked.
"Computer, begin playback of message" Naomi ordered.
This is a Code 47-A priority message. After playback, there shall be no record of this message. It should not be discussed with fellow officers unless deemed absolutely necessary. The computer went through the standard security protocol.
"Acknowledge"
Voice print analysis
"Wildman, Naomi. Captain, USS Voyager"
Voice print confirmed
"Captain Wildman" Picard's face appeared on the console screen. The message had been recorded in his ready room aboard the Enterprise, and he looked very tired and worn out to both Naomi and Mezoti. "It has been too long since we last saw each other. This message was designed to be sent out in the eventuality that the Enterprise was either captured of destroyed. So far we have not, but the ship has taken a lot of damage, and we are hiding in a nebula in an attempt to repair as much damage as we can. The ship and several others were leading a raid on a weapons production facility when we got ambushed. We are likely to not survive another assault, so I am placing you in command of whatever ships are still free. If fates are willing, then we can make our escape and join back up with you. That is very slim, so I wish you good luck Captain. Picard out" Picard saluted the screen before it went blank.
"There must be some awful damage to make Picard be like this" Mezoti said.
"And at least two days away at maximum warp" Naomi said, turning to look out the windows at the fleet around the station. "Computer, how many persons are aboard the Voyager?" she asked.
Twenty five
"Wildman to Cannon, contact the Honour and have Captain Icheb patched to myself and Mezoti" Naomi said, and then stepped out of the office after removing the lock.
"Understood" Cannon said as she was passed by her commanding officer and friend. The pair of them stepped into the turbolift, and Icheb replied from the bridge of his ship.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Upper Pylon 2" Naomi said to the turbolift. "Icheb, the Enterprise is badly damaged, and Captain Picard does not believe he will survive another attack by Section 31"
"His base is at least two days away at maximum warp" Icheb said.
"We can get there in time if we use Voyager" Mezoti said. "Her transwarp drive is fully operational. It would only be three hours at full speed for us to reach that area" she added.
"I need people that know Voyager like the back of their hands" Naomi said. "Would you care to come along for the ride?" and Icheb said he would have himself beamed aboard.
#
"Report!" Naomi called as she stood on Voyager's bridge a few minutes later.
"Tactical and communications ready" Azan said, standing at the Tactical station.
"Operations ready" said Rebi, seating himself at Operations.
"Navigation and helm ready" Icheb had claimed the helm for himself. "All speeds through transwarp available at your command" he added.
"Science ready" Mezoti said as she walked over to the console Naomi's mother had once manned.
"Very well" Naomi said, settling into the Captain's chair. "Seal the airlock. Release docking clamps. Aft thrusters at one quarter. Port and starboard at station keeping" the ship hummed into life as it slowly moved away from the pylon it had been moored to moments before.
"We've cleared the station" Rebi said.
"Icheb, lay in a course for the Enterprise's last known location" Naomi ordered, "And engage at warp 6" and second later the ship jumped to fantastic speeds.
"Holding steady on 212 mark 45" Icheb said. He was smiling because he was back on the ship he knew so well.
"Engage transwarp drive and slowly bring us up towards maximum power" Naomi said. Apart from a small tremble as they went past Warp 10, there was not a single effect on the ship as they went as fast as Borg ships went.
"30% and climbing"
"Steady as she goes, Icheb"
"Aye" he easily fell back into his role as Voyager's helm officer from back when it was just the five of them and the Doctor.
"Estimate arrival at one hour and forty minutes" Mezoti said.
"Very well" Naomi said. She watched the bending of light as they went hurtling faster then most other people had ever been before. "Shields up! Yellow Alert!"
"Yellow Alert" echoed Mezoti. "All hands, Yellow Alert. All hands, Yellow Alert" she called over the intercom.
"You know" Rebi said from Operations, "This is just like old times" and there was a small amount of laughter.
"Except everything is a little smaller now" Mezoti said.
"Or we've all grown taller" Naomi commented dryly. "Bridge to Engineering"
"Engineering. Chief Engineer McAndrews reporting"
"How are we doing, Chief?"
"I've only studied the transwarp drive, but it seems to be running just fine, Captain. All systems and power supplies optimal. We are fully operational"
"Reduce power to decks we are not using. I have a feeling that we'll be needing all the power we can get" Naomi said.
"Aye, Captain. Is there anything else?"
"Rig the main deflector to emit a series of Anti Proton bursts. We might be able to knock out the shields and some systems of the enemy vessels"
"I am not aware of that tactic"
"It is something like a trick that I used before, Chief" Naomi said.
"Aye, Captain. Engineering out"
"Check all consoles" Naomi said. "I don't want to find out that we've a wounded bird" and they checked the bridge stations.
"I think she's singing" Azan said, referring to Voyager.
"She just wants to get out and fly, Azan" Naomi said. "She's not meant to be tied up all the time" and the ship ploughed on through the lair of the Borg – thankfully not meeting any cubes along the way.
#
"Shields are down to 46%" called Data. "We can not withstand another hit in our ventral shields" he added.
"Status of warp drive" Picard said, gripping the arms of his chair as they were hit by phaser fire.
"Still offline" Data said. "Life support has failed. Five minutes of breathable air remaining" he reported.
"Enemy vessels incoming on course 345 mark 6" Worf said.
"That makes fourteen ships" Picard said.
"The last transport has escaped" Data said.
"That is something at least…" Picard muttered.
"Captain, I am reading a massive subspace disturbance on the edge of sensor range" Worf said.
"Not more ships" Picard said.
"Just one vessel" Worf replied
"Data, we can't win. Lock on the nearest vessel and prepare to ram it" Picard said.
"I am getting a clearer reading on the incoming vessel" Worf announced, waving smoke from over his console. "Federation Starfleet… Intrepid class… unable to get an identification" he added.
"Doesn't matter" Picard said. "Data, divert all power to the impulse drive"
#
"We are approaching the coordinates" Icheb said.
"Very well" Naomi said. "Red Alert! Full power to shields. Charge all phaser banks. Load torpedo bays" and the ship brought itself to full readiness for a fight.
"Phasers are charged and online" Azan said. "Borg weapon systems on standby. Torpedo launchers loaded and ready to fire" he added.
"Icheb, drop out of transwarp" Naomi ordered.
"Aye" he replied. He didn't have to be so formal as they held the same rank, but she did have more time as Captain then he did. Icheb did so because he wanted to and because it was meant to be. The ship slowed out of transwarp speed and reduced speed to Warp 1.
"Sensors detecting fifteen vessels" Mezoti said. "Most of them are firing on the remaining ship – it's the Enterptise" she reported.
"Hail the vessels and order them to stand down" said Naomi. She was prepared to fight, but was going to give them a warning – even if she knew she was going to be ignored.
"They are not responding" Rebi said.
"Lock on to the nearest ship and prepare to fire" Naomi ordered.
"Aye, Captain" Azan said.
"What ships do we have here?" Naomi asked.
"A number of Defiants and Akira class vessels" Mezoti said. "There is also a Legacy class here as well" she added.
"Coming into phaser range now" Azan said.
"Fire" Naomi ordered, and the phaser lashed out and hit the shields of a Defiant class vessel.
"Target shields down to 89%" Azan said.
"Keep us on that ship's tail, Icheb. Bridge to Engineering. Is the deflector ready?"
"Affirmative"
"Transfer control up to the bridge. Rebi, standby to fire a pulse at the ship" Naomi said. Voyager rumbled as it took hits from the attacking vessels, and things were going to plan. They would try to capture or destroy Voyager which would give the Enterprise time to get warp drive back online and make an escape.
"Deflector pulse standing ready" Rebi said.
"Shoot" and the deflector pulsed and struck the Defiant class ship in the middle of the aft section. The shields flared blue before dropping and the ship slowed and tumbled off course.
"The ship has been disabled" Rebi said as Voyager was struck by a number of torpedoes from all sides.
"Shields down to 79%" Azan said.
"Fire at will" Naomi said. "Do we have communications with the Enterprise?" she asked.
"Their comm system is offline" Mezoti said. "They have suffered damage and hull breaches on all decks, weapons are down and I am reading multiple casualties" and she turned to look at Naomi. "They can't last much longer" and there was a grim understanding.
"Azan, fire at all targets that come in front of us. Rebi, fire our deflector if you're able to. I would rather we disable the vessels then destroy them, but our main aim is save the Enterprise" Naomi said. The battle went on and Voyager gave as much as good as she got, and the crew disabled many of the attacking vessels.
"The remaining ships are warping out of the system" Mezoti said.
"Shall I go after them?" Icheb asked.
"No…" Naomi said with a shake of her head. "We have too much to deal with here. Status of the Enterprise"
"They have powered down to minimum levels" Mezoti said. "Some decks have been decompressed due to atmospheric loss. The disabled ships are mainly intact, and I am picking up a number of beacons from EVA suits and escape pods" she looked over at her wife. "What are your orders?" and Naomi took her time in thinking.
"Rebi, do the disabled vessels have comms?"
"I am picking up some weak intra ship" he replied.
"Can you patch me in?"
"Easy" Rebi worked his controls. "You're patched in to the ships, escape pods and those in suits" he gestured.
"Attention all. This is Captain Naomi Wildman of the starship Voyager. You have been disabled and are out of control. You require assistance which we are willing to provide" Naomi said. "We will beam those in suits aboard and to our brig shortly. If any vessel restores power and attempts to continue the battle, then we shall destroy you. Voyager out"
"One of the disabled vessels is drifting close to the gravity well of the planet" pointed out Icheb.
"Bring us closer to it and slap on a tractor beam" Naomi ordered. "Stand down Red Alert. Bridge to Engineering. Damage report"
"Minor buckling in the hull, Captain" McAndrews said. "One of the shield emitters overheated, but we're otherwise fully operational" he added.
"I want you to increase the strength in the forcefields around the cargo bays and shuttle bays. We're beaming on survivors" Naomi said.
"Aye, Captain. We'll get started on that at once, Engineering out"
"Beam the pods to the shuttle bays. People in suits go to the cargo bays" Naomi said.
"The fall has been arrested" Rebi said.
"Enterprise communications have been restored" Mezoti said. "I am routing the signal through the main sensor array"
"Voyager, this is the Enterprise" a male called out. It sounded a little rough from taking in smoke. "We are in urgent need of help. Our Sickbay is swamped with casualties" and Naomi grimaced.
"We do not have a medical team aboard, but you are welcome to beam some of your wounded aboard" she said.
"Understood" the voice said. "Some of our transporters are damaged and offline. Could you assist?" and Naomi looked at Rebi who nodded silently.
"That's affirmative, Enterprise" Naomi said. "We might be able to get the medical personnel from the disabled ships to help. I would assume that they were under duress… for the most part. Can you patch me through to Captain Picard?" she asked.
"Captain Picard is close to death. He is undergoing surgery as we speak, but he needs better attention then either of us can supply. He needs to get to a station's medical facilities"
"Can he be stabilised?" asked Naomi.
"That is remaining to be seen" the voice said. "He needs to get to Voyager Station in the next few hours, but it would take us several days at top speed. Our warp drive is inoperable, and we're working on hull integrity first and foremost"
"We shall beam some of your wounded to our ship" said Naomi. "I am coming aboard" and she cued the channel off from the centre seat.
"What are you thinking of doing?" asked Icheb.
"Voyager can easily do the trip from here to the station within hours. We load the most serious wounded and the ship goes back to the station and offloads. It then comes back with a compliment of medical and engineering staff" Naomi said.
"Would you like me to come with you?" Mezoti asked.
"You better had" said Naomi after a moment. "Icheb, I want you to start taking the most serious cases aboard. Your orders are to go at maximum transwarp speed back to the station" and Icheb blinked several times.
"You want me to take your ship?" he asked.
"Icheb, I trust you with this" Naomi assured him, then thought of something to put him at ease. "You do have your driving licence right?" she asked. Icheb laughed and assured her that he did, and that he would take good care of Voyager.
"She will be in good hands" he said.
"It better Mister" Naomi growled. "You have the bridge" Naomi and Mezoti went down to the Sickbay and grabbed as many emergency med kits as they could carry before beaming over to the Enterprise.
#
"Don't I know you?" asked a red haired woman.
"Naomi Wildman. We met after I brought Voyager home" Naomi said.
"Of course" said Beverley Crusher. "Thank you for saving us. I am taking a few minutes from operating on Captain Picard. Thank you for the medical supplies you brought over from your ship, Captain. They are being a great help to us in treating the worst of the cases. I hope to stabilise Jean-Luc enough to transfer him to Voyager soon" she said.
"We are carrying no medical officers aboard Voyager, so you had better go with them so the treatment is the same at all times" Naomi said. "Our Sickbay is fully stocked up anyway…" and Crusher agreed.
#
"Greetings, I am Commander Data" the android said.
"I am Captain Naomi Wildman" Naomi said. "This is Commander Mezoti Wildman" and the android nodded slightly.
"Welcome aboard" he said to the pair.
"I hereby assume command of this vessel by virtue of my rank" Naomi said. "Please so note in the log"
"Aye, Captain" and Data typed it into the log.
"What is the status of the ship?" asked Mezoti.
"Engineering reports that we will have main power restored in approximately eighteen hours" Data said.
"What about warp drive?" asked Naomi.
"We are unable to begin repairs due to a coolant leak in main engineering. Once it has been vented, we will be able to inspect the warp core for damage and start bringing the drive back online" the android said.
"Do you have enough life support?"
"For the moment, but we may lose life support again at any moment. I would recommend transferring some of the crew to Voyager" Data said.
"She is running on a skeleton crew" said Naomi, "But this trip is taking the worst of the cases to Voyager Station as well as a number of prisoners" but Mezoti hit on an idea.
"The disabled ships are in need of repair" she said. "We could transfer some of the crew over to begin repairs. That will reduce the demand on the life support systems" and they went into action and transferred some people over to each of the surviving ships.
#
"Open a channel to the Enterprise" said Icheb.
"Channel open" Rebi said.
"We're ready to get under weigh" Icheb said.
"You understand your orders?" Naomi said from the bridge of the other ship.
"Indeed" Icheb assured her. "I will be back as soon as possible" he said.
"Be careful with her, Icheb. She's a good ship, but I know she is in good hands" Naomi said.
"Thank you" Icheb said. "Good luck"
"And the same to you, Captain, Enterprise out" and Naomi closed the channel.
"Azan, plot a course for Voyager Station – Warp 6" Icheb sat in the first officer's seat. Although he was in command of the ship, he felt it was not his place to sit in.
"Course plotted and laid in" the man said.
"Engage" and the powerful starship leapt into warp.
"We are standing by to engage Transwarp drive" Rebi said.
"Engage the drive" Icheb ordered, and Voyager went faster on its mission of mercy.
#
"There they go…" Mezoti said softly.
"Clear sailing" Naomi whispered to the departing starship.
"Captain Wildman" Data was getting her attention. "Engineering reports it is now inspecting the warp core for damage, and that they are beginning power up sequences as we speak" and Naomi nodded.
"Status of the other ships?" she asked.
"They have power to their Warp Drives" Data said. "Commander Wildman was most… inventive when it came to getting their crews to work" and the android almost smiled. "Some of them will be able to depart in one hour" he added.
"Task Force Cupcake will be running with weapons and shields disabled" Mezoti said. "Only Icheb has the code to return them to operation, and he is passing them on to the station when he gets there" and Naomi was smiling.
"Task Force Cupcake?"
"It was the first thing that came to mind" Mezoti said.
"Mmm… I worry about you, Mez" Naomi shook her head. "Let's get to work here. I want a mixture of security and any engineering personnel we can spare to beam over to each of the disabled ships. After we have effected repairs, most of the crew will be restricted to quarters except for engineering crews and the helm officer" and they went to work.
#
It took almost a full day for the repairs to be made so the ship was fit for warp travel, and the Enterprise made the trip to Voyager Station at a steady Warp 5. They reached the fleet at the end of the week, and the ship was placed into the drydock for a complete refit and overhaul. Captain Picard was treated on the station and was on course to make a full recovery. The ships under the control of Section 31 seemed reluctant to make any kind of assault on the fleet, though they would come within sensor range of Starbase 12 and then turn round and go away again. Using the many telepaths among the crews, Naomi had each one speak to those taken prisoner to determine of they worked for Section 31 freely, or were under some kind of duress. Those that were freely working for them got placed aboard ships and taken to Starbase 12 for holding as prisoners of war.
"Cannon to Captain Wildman"
"Naomi here" Naomi tapped her communicator whilst reading a book in her quarters.
"I… erm… You better get up here" Cannon said.
"Something wrong?" Naomi put down the book and glanced at Mezoti.
"We're getting a signal on all subspace channels" Cannon said. "You need o see this for yourself"
"I'm on my way" Naomi said, and she and Mezoti rushed for the door.
#
"Report!"
"Captain, we picked a transmission from Starfleet Command" Cannon said.
"Put it on screen" Naomi said. An old woman wearing an Admiral's uniform appeared on the screen, and everybody knew very well who she was.
"A few hours ago, ships loyal to the renegade Captain Naomi Wildman attacked and destroyed innocent passenger liners on course for Risa. After passengers and crew took to the escape pods, the ships shot them down on her orders. No survivors were found by rescue ships that came to aid the liners" Nechayev said. "A few minutes ago, I personally ordered the complete destruction of the colony on Proxima III, and that everybody was to be wiped out. I did not take this lightly, and it was with the deepest regret that I gave the order. I am ordering that Naomi Wildman surrender herself and her fleet to Starfleet or else I will bomb more colonies and bases until she does so. I order all ships to destroy the renegade vessels, and I also extend an olive branch to those who misguidely followed Captain Wildman. If you surrender to one of our ships, you will not be tried for treason or otherwise punished. Captain Wildman, you have twelve hours to surrender yourself and your ships before we launch the assault" and Nechayev's image left the screen.
"Get confirmation" said Naomi. She was chilled to the bone at what Nechayev had done, and she would never have thought that Section 31 would have gone so far.
"Aye, Captain" Di'et spoke from the rear of Ops. There was silence from everybody as she worked the console. "Confirmed, Captain. Complete destruction. All lives lost"
"Your orders?" asked Cannon.
"Assuming that she is going to bomb the nearest place, what is the next target they will bomb?" Mezoti asked.
"I would say Orion VII" Cannon said. "It is a pleasure planet, and has no ground and space based weapons to defend it" she said.
"How long would it take to get there at Warp 9?" Naomi asked.
"Fourteen hours at that speed" came the reply. "They might just blockade that route and shoot down any vessel that attempts to leave the system" Cannon added.
"Well we'll just have to find out" said Naomi. "I want all Akira class vessels ready to go in less then half an hour" she told her. "Contact Icheb and have him stand by to come with us. You two are more then welcome to join us. I'm taking Voyager and the others to Orion VII and stopping them doing as much damage as possible" and she and Mezoti boarded the turbolift. "Upper Pylon 2" and it set off.
#
"All crew accounted for" said Azan.
"All ships are ready to go" Rebi said.
"Very well" Naomi sat in the centre seat. "Signal the fleet to set course for Orion VII – Warp 9.2" she made a shooting motion with her finger, "Engage" and the fleet set off on its essential mission to protect the people on the planet. They would arrive two hours after the attack would begin, but there was something that they could do about it.
"Naomi?" Icheb appeared on the bridge of the Honour.
"We're going to go ahead using the transwarp drive and give the planet some time to prepare for the worst. We'll send out shuttles as piquets, and try to hold out as best we can" Naomi said.
"Understood" Icheb replied. "I will try to catch up with you as quickly as possible" he added. "Good Luck, Naomi" and he blinked off the screen.
"All hands, Red Alert!" Mezoti said. The lights dimmed as the ship went into battle mode.
"Stand by Transwarp drive" Naomi said. "Increase speed to Warp 9.3" and Voyager pulled away from the fleet.
"We are clear of the other ships" Di'et said.
"Bridge to Engineering"
"Engineering"
"We'll be arriving in four hours" Naomi said. "I want you to get started on fixing torpedo launchers to the shuttles" she ordered.
"We'll see what we can do, Captain"
"Do your best, bridge out" Naomi looked at Azan and Rebi who nodded in reply to the unasked question. "Standby to engage Transwarp drive" Naomi ordered.
"All decks report ready" Azan said.
"Transwarp drive is online and awaiting your command" put in Rebi.
"Rankush, engage the drive" and Di'et complied. With a green flash, the ship went faster then the other vessels in the fleet.
"Holding steady at 30% of total power" she said.
"Bring us up to 75% of total power, and hold steady on that" Naomi said.
"75%, Aye"
"Lets just hope the ships are not already there" Mezoti muttered.
"I hope not…" Naomi said.
