PHANTOMS
Chapter Five
Phantoms
"Shields to sixty percent!" Sparks fly again from tactical.
"Captain, the Enterprise is hailing again!"
"Put them on screen!" Picard looks at the bridge.
"I do not have Commander Riker, captain. Was this a setup?"
"No! We're under attack from alien cruisers! There's a possibility we might be thrown into the anomaly." Janeway says.
"But I have sent your crew.." Janeway looks solemnly at Captain Picard.
"Let me get these cruisers off our tail, then we'll talk!" Captain Janeway is thrown from her chair as the ship rocks violently.
"They're charging up a powerful weapon! It's giving off a displacement wave that is throwing off our sensors!"
"Just hit 'em with everything we've got!" Janeway yells. The sound of torpedoes leaving its bay can be heard over the sound the klaxon, and the chaos of the Voyager crew.
"We've disabled their more powerful weapons temporarily." Everyone is thrown to the floor again.
"As for their other weapons..."
"Keep firing!"
"Engineering to bridge! Captain, the warp core could lose containment any minute now! It's under too much - "
"Evacuate engineering when you have to! Janeway out! Chakotay, take the conn!" Janeway rushes to tactical, and starts pounding on the panel.
"The shields they have are practically inpenetrable!"
"I've found a potential weakness, captain!" Chakotay yells, and transfers his readings to tactical.
"Our weapons are burned out. We need two months to repair all this - "
"Captain! If we throw them into the anomaly - "
"Of course! Power the tractor beam!"
"It's burned out! What the - " Chakotay starts.
"Intruder alert! Intruder Alert! Unknown beings have boarded deck eleven."
"Engineering." Janeway says. "What's the status of the field emitters?"
"They're all available, everywhere from deck one to deck ten."
"Then put them up. I've got partial tractor beam."
"Then at least try to get them closer to the anomaly!"
"They're as much in the vicinity as we are. However, captain!" Chakotay yells. "The explosion of this anomaly would destroy their ship!"
"I think I have an idea! Get the Enterprise on the comm!" Picard appears.
"Captain, Paris, Kim and Tuvok are technically still alive! We need to beam them out of the anomaly! I am beaming your three crewmen into the anomaly! Your job is to get them out of there once we beam them into it!"
"Captain, this is dangerous!"
"Just do it! Voyager out!
"Chakotay! Get those three into the anomaly!"
"Aye, captain!" Chakotay runs into the turbolift, and the doors close.
"Commander! Get on the pad! We're getting you back to the Enterprise!"
"But I thought you had no transporters!"
"We still have the backup emergency transporters. Nice meeting you. The three dematerialize."
"Chakotay to Bridge! They're in the anomaly. Let's hope it worked! I'm locking onto the other three." Suddenly Paris, Kim, and Tuvok materialize. "Welcome back."
"The Enterprise crew report all their crew is aboard!"
"Then arm three photons, and fire at the centre of the anomaly. Conn, maximum warp as soon as they are out of this ship."
"Aye, captain."
The Enterprise's crew was fully accounted for. Preparing for warp, Picard solemnly watched the anomaly.
"It was nice meeting you, Captain Janeway." The anomaly was coming to its demise.
Two photons streaked across the space. Voyager was at warp. The anomaly burst into a chorus of flames. The alien ships...eliminated.
"So, we have eliminated all of the temporal instability inside Paris, Kim and Tuvok." The Doctor reports, in the briefing room.
"You were actually dead, Mr. Paris. But the anomaly maintained your systems. When we transported you back, you were brought back to life. The projection in the anomaly made you ghosts."
"Ghosts, captain?"
"Let's say phantoms, Mr. Kim." Kim looks at the captain with a grin.
"Phantoms."
THE END
Author's Concluding Note: I am working on a new project in a show style. I will have one 'episode' every week. I have it planned out and it will start in about September sometime.
