'Spock, you're Alpha Team leader. Attack from the South. Uhura, you're with him. Chekov, you've got Beta Team, attack from the North. Hawkins, go with him. Gamma Team with me, we're attacking from the East. Lee, bring the Tech Team in from the West when I give you the all clear. Be prepared to fight your way in, we can't hold them all. Sulu, you've got the conn.'
'Yes Captain!'
As Beta Team prepares to beam down, Chekov notices Ellen glaring at him. She's still upset about earlier. He hasn't had a chance to apologise. Hopefully she'll have calmed down by the time they get back.
'Alpha Team, what is your status?'
'Ready Captain!'
'Beta?'
'Ready Keptain!'
'Techs?'
'In position Captain!'
'Commence Operation!'
The battle begins and his worries are pushed to the back of his mind. She's with the techs now, and she'll be safe. For now.
'Alpha, report.'
'Clear Captain, holding fine.'
'Beta?'
'Not good Keptain, ve need reinforcements!'
'Gamma Team on their way. Alpha, cover for Tech Team.'
'Tech Team on their way.'
Ellen sets her Phaser to Stun and leads her team down into the Computer Room. Commander Spock and Lieutenant Uhura are there, and Alpha Team is patrolling the area. There are unconscious pirates everywhere. They immediately set to work disabling the computer. They have to keep it fairly intact and functional, Starfleet want to study it, but they've got to get it out of here.
'Scotty, stand by to beam parts up.'
The first few parts, along with technicians are beamed aboard.
'Spock, we've got a situation here. Beta and Gamma need support, get Alpha down to North side.'
'Affirmative Captain. Alpha Team to North Quadrant.'
Only the Tech Team are left in the Room.
'Lee, it was a diversion. You've got hostiles approaching. We can't get back in time. Have you got it out yet?'
'No Captain, we need more time.'
'We're on our way, you're going to have to hold out for a bit.'
They're almost done and most of the Team have beamed out with the parts.
'Wilkins, Gordon, Cho, keep working. Michaels, Singh, you're with me. Scotty, stand by to beam up the parts.'
Ellen is worried. The 3 of them will have to hold off goodness knows how many pirates. They've got to buy the techs more time.
'Bam!'
They barricaded the door, in the hopes it will buy them more time, but the pirates are almost through. She signals to her team to be ready.
The pirates break through and she fires her Phaser at the first one, dodging the answering shots. Most of the shots are towards the Techs frantically trying to finish up in the centre and she sees Wilkins fall to the ground. The pirates are advancing and as frantically as they try to stop them, it seems more stream in the door.
'Captain, hurry up, we can't hold much longer!'
One of the pirates has taken advantage of her momentary distraction to sneak up on her. She kicks him in the groin and fires her Phaser at him. The other Techs appear unharmed and Michaels and Singh are still fighting, though she sees singed uniforms from barely dodged bullets.
The pirates are getting to close quarters now, and one launches a punch at her forehead. She barely manages to dodge and it hits her shoulder, sending waves of pain through her body and causing her to drop her Phaser. Another pirate, wielding an antique sword doubtless stolen, presses their advantage, swinging it towards her in a deadly arc.
