*The time is 0600 hours, the time is 0600 hours* the computer beeped.
"Computer, shut of alarm and set for 0530 hours tomorrow morning" said a shaken Captain Janeway. That dream had felt so real. "It seemed like deja-vu." thought Kathryn who was getting out of bed and was heading for the bathroom. The morning was new and she already had this gut feeling that today would not be a boring day.
Captain Janeway felt a little less shaken after the sonic shower she just had. She got dressed in her uniform and proceeded to get ready for her shift which started in a half an hour. She ran her brush through her auburn hair as she thought about the dream that she had just had. "That was a very unusual dream," she said to her reflection in the mirror, "Why was I running?" She decided to just leave it be for now and she continued to get ready for her shift.
Exiting her quarters, Janeway headed down the corridor towards the turbolift. "I wonder what we will get to go through today?" Janeway asked herself as she continued down the halls, "I hope that nothing goes..." Janeway's train of thought was lost as a young Ensign who was obviously in a hurry to get somewhere turned a corner and ran into her.
"Captain," the Ensign stated as he quickly regained his composure and moved into an attention stance, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you."
"It's quite all right Ensign," Janeway stated giving the Ensign a forgiving look, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I am late for my duty shift Captain." The Ensign said staring straight forward.
Kathryn couldn't help but laugh inside as the Ensign's face had a fearful expression etching it's way forward. A smile crept on to her face as she watched the person in front of her prepare for a lecture. The poor guy probably thought that he would be reprimanded for an accidental run-in with her.
"Carry on Ensign," Janeway said regaining her Captain composure.
"Aye Captain" he stated as he nodded and walked past the Captain.
"Oh and Ensign," Janeway started, "don't make a habit out of running around corners and into senior officers."
"Yes Ma'am." the before frightened Ensign said with a smile.
Janeway continued to walk towards the turbolift. She was now running late for her shift. Stepping into the turbolift she automatically said, "Bridge".
She ran through her schedule in her mind as the turbolift moved towards the bridge. Her thoughts were interrupted as the turbolift shook violently and she was shoved against the wall. The turbolift came to a halt. Janeway tapped her combadge, "Janeway to bridge, what's happening" The red alert klaxons sounded before she could get an answer. She tried her combadge again with no response. "Computer, resume turbolift." Janeway stated as she went through the different possibilities of what could be happening.
The doors to the turbolift swished open and Kathryn wasted no time in stepping onto the bridge. "Status?" she asked in her captain tone.
Chakotay stood up and delivered a report on the current events occurring, "We are being fired upon by two unknown ships. The internal communications system is down and shields are at 81 percent."
"Why wasn't I notified when they showed up on sensors?" Janeway asked looking at Chakotay. She walked towards him and sat down in her chair.
"The ships weren't picked up by our sensors, Captain" stated Harry Kim who was frantically tapping at his console, "Apparently they have some type of cloaking device that was able to evade our sensors."
"Why are they attacking us?", Janeway asked as she stood up and moved to the middle of the room, "Did we provoke them in any way?"
"Negative Captain," came the logical voice of Tuvok who was standing behind his console, "They decloaked and started firing."
"Mr. Kim, Hail them" Janeway commanded. She wanted to know why these ships were firing upon Voyager.
"They are responding Captain." Harry told as he tapped in a few commands into his console.
"On screen" the captain demanded as she moved forward with Chakotay following close behind, "I am Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager, why are you firing on us?"
A man very similar in appearance to a human appeared on the view screen. "I am Captain Marks of the Marivian warship Gamma One. Your reputation in this quadrant labels you as a threat according to the Marivian government. You will be destroyed."
"We have no hostile intentions, Captain," Janeway started, "Our reputation is false." Janeway's explanation was interrupted as the image on the viewscreen disappeared.
"They cut the transmission." Harry announced as an annoyed Janeway turned to Chakotay. "I am getting really tired of the fire now talk later type of people." Janeway said as she sat down in her chair, and Chakotay followed suit, "Tuvok, take out their weapon systems."
"Aye, Captain, firing phasors." Tuvok stated with his no emotion Vulcan face still in tact. He punched in some commands at his console as Harry spoke up, "Weapons on the lead ship are down, they are hailing Captain."
"Put it through Mr. Kim." This time Kathryn stayed seated in her chair as Captain Marks came on-screen.
"Captain Janeway, you may think that you have the upperhand now, but I assure you that you are incorrect." Marks was apparently not one who talked things out rationally, "Your ship will be no match for the Marivian fleet, surrender now and your crew will be spared. As for your ship, well I will just thank you now for the technology on board."
"I guess we'll just have to take our chances against your fleet." Janeway said standing up and moving a few steps forward, "I will sooner destroy this ship than I would hand it over to you." With an acknowledging nod from Chakotay, Captain Janeway gave Tuvok a command to fire at will at the remaining ship.
"Captain," Tuvok began, "There is minor damage to their shields, their weapons and navigational systems have not been damaged."
The ship shook hard a from the Marivian fire, and Janeway decided to step things up a notch, "Mr. Tuvok, hit them with the torpedoes, full spread." Just as Tuvok fired, Chakotay spoke up from the console that he was staring at next to the command chair, "Captain, another Marivian ship has just decloaked."
"Shields down to 43 percent." yelled Harry, "The new ship is firing."
The ship rocked back and forth and consoles started to explode. Smoke and sparks were appearing all around the bridge. "Damage report." demanded Chakotay.
"Hull breach forming on deck 11, weapons systems down, long range communications down, shields at 18 percent, reports of injuries coming in from all areas of the ship."
"Harry seal the breach," Janeway started, "and Tuvok..."
"Captain, you might want to take a look at this." Chakotay interrupted as he stood up and moved to Harry's console, "The two ships are on a collision course with each other."
"What? Why are they going to collide?" Janeway asked rhetorically. She headed towards Harry's console where Chakotay now stood, "On-screen." The image of the two ships appeared on screen. "Tom, " Janeway started, "back us away to a safe range, I don't want Voyager to be damaged anymore than it already is when those two ships explode."
The whole bridge crew watched as the two ships got closer and closer to each other, but they were all surprised when the ships didn't explode. The two ships in front of them seemed to be merging into one.
The only thought going through everyone's minds as they were witnessing this event before them was,"What the hell?"
