CHAPTER BY ADMIRAL ANDALITE
CHAPTER SEVEN - UNOFFICIAL DELIVERY
USS VOYAGER
NCC-74656
INTREPID CLASS
"Shields are at fifty-seven percent," Tuvok announced as another Kazon torpedo volley collided with Voyager.
"Return fire, maximum spread," Captain Kathryn Janeway yelled back.
The torpedoes hit the Kazon heavy battlecruiser, but the Kazon didn't really seem to notice. Janeway needed a new strategy.
"Attack pattern Delta Beta Zero," Janeway commanded.
Voyager fired forward phasers and unleashed a quad spread of torpedoes, flew behind the Kazon vessel, and fired aft torpedoes, which were hit by Voyager's port ventral phasers as the ship came about, causing the torpedoes to emit an antimatter blast as they neared the Kazon's shields.
Harry Kim looked over at Janeway. "The Kazon's forward shield is at twenty-four percent, and their aft shield has collapsed!"
"It's about time," commented Commander Chakotay. "Their defenses are second only to the Borg."
Janeway turned around. "Tuvok, release the prepared cobalt bomb."
When Voyager became deadlocked in battle with the Kazon cruiser, Captain Janeway had a cobalt bomb made ready to release from the shuttlebay when and if they managed to collapse at least one of the Kazon's shields.
In the shuttlebay at the rear of Voyager, the magnetic clamps holding the bomb in place were disabled, and forcefield went down. The bomb flew out into space, remote-controlled from Tuvok's station.
Tuvok moved the bomb through the Kazon's collapsed shield. When the bomb was less than a meter from the Kazon's hull, Tuvok detonated it. The antimatter package created a shockwave that cut through the cruiser's hull and went through to the other side of the ship.
There was a chain reaction explosion as the Kazon's power generator was destroyed.
"The Kazon cruiser has been destroyed," Ensign Kim said unnecessarily.
"Good," said Lieutenant Tom Paris, "I was beginning to think we'd never win."
Chakotay grinned at Paris. "I had complete confidence in Voyager. I knew we'd beat them."
Tom looked back, teasing laughter in his eyes. "Right, and the Borg are completley organic."
Chakotay looked around the bridge, defeated. "Some support, please?"
"I am neutral in this illogical banter," said Tuvok.
"I side with-" Suddenly Harry was interrupted by a beeb from his console. "Captain, I'm reading a spacial flux. It appears to be a sub-space wormhole. It leads," he paused, and astonished look on his face, "to the Alpha Quadrant."
A massive wave of astonishment swept through the bridge. Janeway looked back at Kim. "How close is the exit to Earth?"
"Can't tell," Kim replied.
Captain Janeway decided quickly. "Let's not waste any more time. Tom, Take us into the wormhole."
"Yes, ma'am," he replied, satisfaction and anticipation etched all over him. He turned around to his console, entering in commands.
Voyager turned to face the wormhole, heading toward it at full impulse power. As the magnificent starship neared the sub-space tunnel, it expanded rapidly in size, and Voyager disappeared within, leaving the Delta Quadrant.
