"So Ensign, I believe next on your list was the engagement the Freedomsong had with the Dominion in the Vorushian Asteroid Belts," said the Admiral, closing his eyes.
"Yes Admiral," replied the Ensign.
"It all began when we were ordered on border patrol."
Year: 2372
"Sensors are at full," asked Captain Kujou nervously.
"Aye Captain," said the sensor officer.
Kujou didn't like it. It was too easy, a border patrol with no enemy ships even at the very tip of sensor range.
"Captain," said the sensor officer urgently," Twelve Jem Hadar fighters launching from one of the asteroids, they must have a hangar in it, or else we would have detected it."
"Shields are up, and weapons armed," asked Kujou as he settled down in his Captain's chair.
"Affirmative," said his new tactical officer.
"Target the lead Jem Hadar vessel and open fire."
The pulse phasers of the Freedomsong thrummed as it let loose blast after blast into the lead Jem hadar attack fighter, eventually destroying it. However, the Jem Hadar fightercraft broke formation quickly, each letting loose a few polaron beam blasts of their own.
"Shields are at thirty-five percent," said the tactical officer.
The Freedomsong looped around until it had a Jem Hadar fighter in its sites. A quick succession of phaser blasts demolished it. However one of the Jem Hadar ships still in persuit managed to loose several shots against the shields.
A bulkhead exploded, killing the new tactical officer, and smoke began to fill the bridge.
Kujou cursed as he went to the tactical console, not bothering to not step on the dead body. His fears were being justified...shields had dropped to ten percent and warp drive was offline.
"Take us into the asteroids," he yelled to the helm officer.
As the Freedomsong dove into the asteroids, one of its persuers slammed into one of the asteroids and exploded.
The ship shaked again as another phased polaron blast rocked it. The Freedomsong rose around an asteroid and let loose two quantum torpedoes that destroyed its attacker.
Three more of their Jem Hadar persuers crashed into the asteroids. Only three more left...
Another phased polaron blast cut into the shields, and then a great roar shook the ship. The shields had failed.

"How did you all survive," prodded the Ensign, now paying rapt attention.
"Stop interrupting me and you'll find out," snapped the Admiral.

One more of their Jem Hadar persuers was destroyed in a flurry of pulse phaser blasts. Then as luck would have it, another crashed into an asteroid.
The final Jem Hadar ship came out from behind one of the asteroids. Both it, and the Freedomsong, launched blasts at each other, disabling each others weapons, and the Jem Hadar craft's engines.
"Detecting transporters being used," muttered the sensor officer.
"Commander Minarvi," said Kujou quickly," make sure everyone aboard is armed."
"Yes Captain," said the Commander as he left the bridge.
A pillar of light appeared on the bridge, and before anyone could react the Jem Hadar transported aboard had managed to shoot the conn officer dead.
In a single fluid motion Kujou drew his phaser and fired a single killing blast into the Jem Hadar's chest.
"How are the rest of the decks faring," asked Kujou.
One by one each deck checked in, only four fatalities on the entire ship, counting the Conn and Tactical officers.
"Warp engines are back online Captain," quipped the helm officer.
"We aren't leaving yet," said Kujou warily," take us back to the asteroid they launched from."
Minutes later the Freedomsong was above the asteroid hangar. With a touch of a button four quantum torpedoes smashed into the asteroid, cracking it apart.
"Set course for the nearest Starbase," said Kujou, clearly making everyone know they had been through enough for one day.

"Admiral how did that deal with Project: Rebirth," asked the Ensign quizzically.
"It didn't," replied the aging Admiral with a grin," but it was on your list of skirmishes that you had been reviewing."
