The Child

by scifigirl77

The crew finds a child on a deserted planet. She has escaped the Suliban and now wants revenge for the death of her family.

6. Revenge

"They can't have her! Did you tell them?" Trip asked. No one realized Jorna was there on the bridge.

"Not yet. Hoshi's trying to tell them that we don't know who they're talking about."

"You're going to lie to save me?" Jorna asked, giving away her secrecy.

"We're trying," Archer said, a little angry that she had come on the bridge.

"They didn't buy. They're firing weapons," Hoshi said.

"Hold on," Archer said to the crew. The Suliban took out the engines and were targeting the weapons next. "Fire on them now, Reed," Archer said. He fired. It took out their weapons for now. The Suliban were quick to fix them. They fired again and hit Deck 12.

Suddenly, a blast came from the weapons station and knocked Malcolm out. Trip tried to get to it but Jorna beat him there. She quickly targeted the weakest part of the ship and fired without waiting for Archer to give the order. Although he couldn't order her. She wasn't Starfleet. The Suliban ship was destroyed and the Enterprise was safe. Jorna had saved the day and gotten her revenge.
