"Normandy to Destiny, you got VonBach?" The British Captain, Wesley Ralston, hailed.
"Yeah!" Starwind appeared on the viewscreen, "And two Federation ships on out tail."
"Ours just jumped to warp, after we disabled their weapon systems and shields." Ralston smiled, "Your mean old ship has yet to do the same?"
"Worse than that, we lost weapons and a squad of Scorpions." Starwind replied.
"Out of the frying pan and into the fryer." Ralston joked.
"Not funny, Wes." Sparks flew in the background.
Ralston nodded, "Get them up here. We'll light them up."
On the Destiny's bridge, Starwind nodded to Ralston's image on the viewscreen. "Destiny out."
The bridge shook again, sparks flying around.
"Shields are down." Edwards called.
Talara reported in, "Damage to atmospheric thrusters. One minute to exosphere."
"We are being boarded. They're moving toward the brig, I have force fields in place to contain them." VonBach grabbed his 'good luck' phaser pistols and ran to the turbolift, "Brig."
"Intruder alert." Starwind called. "Sound general quarters and seal off sensitive areas."
VonBach stood outside the brig, pistols drawn. Three men in slightly different Starfleet Uniforms rounded the corner. VonBach fired exactly three shots, knocking all the solders down.
Destiny finally exited atmosphere. As soon as that happened, Quantum torpedoes flew past Destiny to strike the two ships that followed her. Those ships broke off.
"That was easy." Starwind sighed.
Talara stared at the viewer, "Maybe too easy. Watson, scan all wavelengths for unusual radiation."
"VonBach to Bridge, they were after McKay, but we still got him, and I locked up three of his would-be liberators." VonBach could be heard on speakers.
"Engineering to Bridge, we have a problem." Bronski's voice rang through the bridge.
