Chapter 1

"Damb," said Samuel, "the lift is not working."

He walks over, opens the jeffries tube door, and climbs in.

'What could cause this kind of systems failure' he thought while climbing.

He opened the exit hatch slowly and carefully looked out. Nothing, so he climbs out. The ship was at red alert but he could see no one around. 'Thank god the weapons locker is on this deck' he thought.

Phaser out, he started walking towards the weapons locker. Suddenly he saw a shadow move into a room. He took out his tricorder and scanned the area, something was definitely there, and he could see it. So, phaser ready, he slowly moved towards the door, and...

It was just his tactical officer, there ready to fire on him. "Caption, what are you doing here?" asked his tactical officer, Joe.

"Well, Joe, I got your message, now what the hell is going on?" Sam asked.

"We received a distress call from one of our colonies and went to investigate. When we got there everything and everyone was gone, only a few containers were left."

"And the ship?"

"We were attacked by someone called the Vorta; we don't know who they are."

"Lets get to the weapons locker, we'll need some rifles." and Sam started followed by Joe. However, a fallen bulkhead stopped them, and they had no way of getting through it.

"Now how are we going to get thought, the weapons locker is on the other side." Said Joe

"Are the turbolifts working?" Sam asked.

"I'm afraid not," Joe replied, "and some of the jeffries tubes have been breached."

"What if we tried to cut away the bulkhead?"

"I wouldn't recommend that, there is a chance the whole corridor could collapse."

"That's a chance we'll have to take" Said Sam as he took out his phaser.

"But the structural integrity field is down, this whole area could breach easily" Joe said as he held down Sam's arm.

"Well is there any other way?" asked Sam as he put away his phaser.

"If I could get the force fields back online we could use them to move the bulkhead, but it a risky move," said Joe, unsure.

"Do they still work?" asked Sam.

"Yes, but they were knocked offline I could repair them, the field control room is just one deck up." Joe said as he started walking back towards a jeffries tube access.

"Good job"
