Kathryn Janeway gazed out of the viewscreen at the swirling planetoid that grew steadily closer to the shuttle. Her eyes reflected the light of the system's binary suns that lit both sides of the planet continuously. It pained Janeway to see this planet, for in so many ways it resembled Earth, her home. Large swells of blue spread across the sphere, occasionally split by the jagged thrust of land into the crystalline waters. She could see clouds that circled over the lands, rotating lazily and casting shadows miles wide across the rolling hills. Janeway's momentary fascination with the planetoid was shattered by the beep of her console. She could feel Tuvok's eyes boring holes into her, determined to unravel this.this puzzle. Puzzling was the best way Tuvok could phrase it. Tuvok noticed the difference in the captain the minute she had stepped onto the bridge, Chakotay close behind her. She seemed happier somehow, as if she held some small secret inside of her that Tuvok could never truly understand. But Tuvok had unconsciously given up on trying to understand the complex woman he was watching. It confused him, as much as he disliked admitting it. But if the captain was happy, then so was Tuvok. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Janeway began the standard orbiting procedures, bringing the shuttle to a slow deacceleration around the planet. It was even more beautiful than Janeway remembered, Janeway recalled, surprised for she had seen the planet but a few seconds ago. Once the shuttlecraft had locked into a steady orbit, Janeway swiveled in her chair to face Tuvok. "Ready to go?" she quipped?
Tuvok raised one eyebrow in response.
Janeway smiled. "I'll take that as a yes. Open the deflector dish." Tuvok moved to comply, but frowned peering at his console. "Captain, a ship has just dropped out of warp. It is charging weapons."
Tuvok's report was cut off as a phaser blast sent the shuttle careening out of orbit.
Tuvok struggled to maintain control of his console. "Shields are down to 73% and we've lost helm control." Janeway pulled herself to her station. "Open a channel" she snapped. "This is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Shuttlecraft Zephryn. We mean you no harm. Cease your attack."
Tuvok watched his station. "No response."
Janeway blew a loose strand of long auburn hair out of her face. The shuttlecraft shook as it was barraged by another volley of attacks by the ship.
Janeway tapped the flat keys of the console.
"Send then to Voyager on all frequencies. With any luck, they will receive it and make it here in time." An explosion of a console next to her cut off her previous statement. "Tuvok, target their weapons device and fire."
Tuvok complied, tapping in commands faster than humanly possible. He was a Vulcan, however. "No effect. Their shielding devices are clearly superior to ours."
Janeway grimaced. She had never liked admitting defeat. "Well, then I guess we have to fun. Set a course for Voyager at the highest warp speed we can manage."
"Engaging warp engines." came Tuvok's stoic reply.
Janeway braced herself for the jump to warp, but it never came. Instead, she found herself being thrown against the viewscreen as a tractorbeam caught onto the ship. Janeway was vaguely aware of Tuvok shouting that shields were down and the distinctive sounds of phasers being fired. Images blurred together as warm red blood dripped into her eyes and then her world collapsed into darkness.
K, thanks and please read and review. This is my first fic and I love feedback.
