This is the second story in what will hopefully be a long line of stories. This story continues the adventures of the Lieutenant Simon Hartstone. While not necessary to read the story "Punishment" it would be advisable to set up why this new character is aboard Voyager.
Captured! Chapter 6
I do not own Star Trek: Voyager or any of the characters within it, I just think with the canon temporarily dead with no more series (that I know of) and no more movies (that I know of) that it needs people like us to continue the legacy. Thank you
Chapter 6: Alone"Where is he?" the man who was only referred to as Leader
"I don't know leader," said the man who was at ops station "He seems to have dropped off the sensors completely"
"Has he disabled the sensor systems?"
"Not as far as I can tell Leader I have run every diagnostic on the internal sensors that I can and they all say there is no problem. A level 5 diagnostic would require the internal sensors to be taken offline"
"We cannot do that, keep running continuous scans something will come up eventually I am sure" the Leader was turning away to move to one of the other stations.
"Wait Leader" the man exclaimed
"I am reading an anomalous reading in the ships medical facility, the reading here says holographic"
"They say this ship has a holographic crewmember, he must be secured and taken to the brig with the rest of the senior officers, he may decided to cause trouble"
"Yes Leader, Bridge to Kleb"
"It seems you have missed a crewmember in your search, the holographic doctor has escaped you somehow"
"We could not find the holographic doctor on our initial search we couldn't find his program in the database"
"Well he has surfaced now, Leader wants you to take him to the brig with the rest of the senior officers"
"How do we remove him from the medical facility, it is the only place that his program can be sustained apart from the Holodeck" the Leader broke in to the conversation at his crewman's incompetence.
"You stupid fool he has a mobile holo-emitter that he wears didn't you read the report at all" he screamed down the comm system. "Just take his program offline download the program to the emitter and take it to the damn brig you fool"
"Yes Leader" and the comm channel was cut
Somehow Simon was wrong, climbing was easier than climbing down he was already between deck 6 and deck and sickbay was on deck 5.
"Computer how long until Voyager reaches Antillian space?" Simon asked
"Voyager will reach Antillian space in 4 hours 45 minutes and 34 seconds" more information than Simon required but still he knew now as he kept climbing
"Computer what is the time?"
"The time is o hundred hours and thirty minutes"
"I should be in bed right now instead of having to deal with these bastards," Simon murmured to himself. He reached the opening hatch that connected deck 6 to deck 5. He sighed as he opened the hatch. He climbed through and he closed the hatch again.
The Doctor was sitting in his office working he had scanned the corpse. The species apart from the cosmetic differences obviously were not to far from humans, one heart, two lungs, all the other major organs the only difference the Doctor could see is that this one at least had no reproductive organs. The Doctor surmised they must reproduce from a sort of cloning process or something very much like that. So technically this person was neither male nor a female this person was an 'it'.
Suddenly the Doctor frazzled a bit, he dropped the medical tricorder he was holding and he turned around to see two men at the main console in Sickbay.
"Hey what are you doing, that's a sensitive piece of equipment?"
"Computer de-activate the Holographic Doctor" and the Doctor shimmered out of existence. "Download the Holographic Doctor's program to the mobile emitter," The other man pressed some buttons and the computer reported.
"Transfer complete" one of the men picked up the small triangular device and they both walked out of sickbay together.
Suddenly a latch unlocked from the Jeffries tube opening and the door opened slightly before opening fully and Simon climbed his way out of the Jeffries tube, picked up his shotgun and then he stood up slowly with the weapon raised.
"Doctor" Simon quietly said when no one answered Simon got worried instantly "Doctor" he called again as he search Sickbay when he walked over to the open drawer with the dead guard sitting on it. He looked at the corpse and then he saw the medical tricorder sitting on the floor. He picked it up and he tossed it up and down in his hand for a second. "Computer where is the Doctor"
"The Doctor is offline," the computer reported back
"Computer activated the EMH program"
"Cannot comply"
"Why not?" Simon was starting to get angry
"The EMH program is not in the database."
"Was the Doctor's program deleted?"
"Negative."
"Was the Doctor's program downloaded to the mobile emitter?"
"Affirmative" Simon looked around for a second hoping to find the emitter sitting under a desk or under a console hoping that the Doctor had done this to hide himself from any entering attackers. When he could not find the program Simon worried more.
"Computer where is the mobile emitter."
"The mobile emitter is in the starboard turbolift heading to Deck 9 section 29" Simon knew where that was. It was the brig, the Doctor has been captured and now Lieutenant Hartstone was truly alone in the coming fight.
