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 7
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 7: Plan of Action"Heads up people" Harry said the Captain had assigned him to watch the door and the enemies' movements. They had all decided that they needed shut eye the decided to do it in shifts so that a couple of people were on watch while the others slept. Tuvok and the Captain moved over to join Harry.
"What is it Mr Kim" she said as she found out for herself saying as two guards walked up to the force field as the guard who was watching the brig joined them phaser rifle in hand.
"Step away from the force field" the three took a full pace back, one of the guards de-activated the force field and one of the guards lowered his weapon and threw a small triangular device into the cell. The device hit B'Elanna in the face as the guards closed the force field again.
"Kahless, what the hell" she said as she was awoken by getting hit by the device in the face which naturally woke up the rest of the senior officers who were asleep. B'Elanna picked up the device that hit her as the rest moved into a circle to look, she opened her fist to reveal the Doctor's mobile emitter. "What they giving us this for"
"Only one way to find out" the Captain said as she took it out of B'Elanna's hand and she raised it up to shoulder height on her before playing with the controls and a figure shimmered into existence.
"Please state…." he looked around at everyone and the he remembered what had happened to him.
"Report Doctor" the Captain requested, he turned to talk to her directly with the others now fully awake and listening in
"Well I initially managed to hide myself from the attackers by deactivating myself and hiding my program in the database. I was re-activated some time later by the Computer after two guards dropped off what Mr. Hartstone called 'his work'." He turned and looked at everybody with an eyebrow raised
"What do you mean Doctor by 'his work'?" Seven said getting there first with the question that everyone wanted to know.
"One of the guards Seven … he was brought in already killed, he had a major artery in his neck severed and he bled to death in a matter of seconds. Apparently Mr Hartstone was the one that killed him." The Doctor turned back to the Captain who was looking somewhat concerned.
"So Simon is alive" Tom jumped in
"Apparently so" Tuvok said
"Anything else Doctor" the Captain interjected
"Yes, I was supposed to meet Mr Hartstone in Sickbay to formulate some kind of plan but while I was performing an Autopsy on the dead guard, I was discovered, downloaded to the emitter and brought here."
"Looks like he is going to have to do that himself" Chakotay turned to the Captain
"May I remind you Mr Hartstone's 'plans' normally involve jumping in and going in 'all guns blazing' to use a human term. He does not seem to have the character for tactical planning." Tuvok seemed to give a mental assessment of a man they had all know only for a few weeks but anyone was the man to do that it was Tuvok.
"Well Mr. Tuvok I hope that today Mr. Hartstone can prove you wrong" the Captain said as she stared out of the force field.
Simon was crawling through the Jeffries tubes again he hated this; his hands and knees were hurting from crawling around the Jeffries tubes, he was tired, and he was hungry. Simon stopped in an access room where the hatches down to deck 6 and the hatch up to deck 5 resided. He decided that he needed to catch his breath he sat down back against the bulkhead and he rested the shotgun on his knees.
"What do I do now" he buried his head in his hands and wiped them down his face with a long sigh just to go with it. "I have to re-take the ship but how do I do it?" he thought to himself he needed time to think.
"Time that's what I need, I need time, Computer how long till we reach Antillian space?"
"4 hours 1 minute and 13 seconds" the computer responded
"Computer what is our current speed?"
"Warp 9.975" he thought about that for a second
"Fast as you can go eh well time to change that, computer how long would it take to reach Antillian if we were travelling at maximum impulse"
"1 day 3 hours 12 minutes and 30 seconds" Simon smiled, he also thought that when he got out of this he was going to ask the someone to reprogram the computer so that it didn't respond so precisely it was getting annoying he thought to himself. He picked himself up from the deck he needed to go, no time like the present he had to get to engineering and take the warp core offline, get them out of warp and then the real fight began.
The turbolift doors to the bridge opened and two men stepped onto the bridge.
"Report" the leader turned to see the arrivals
"We have secured the holographic doctor's matrix and placed him with the rest of the bridge officers"
"Excellent what of the other intruder"
"None of the patrols have found him yet Leader"
"Have every corner of this ship checked if we cannot find him we must think of a way to bring him out into the open."
"Yes Leader" the men nodded and set off to their task.
"Oh and one final thing I want the crew to know if he is found I want them to shoot to kill once this has been dealt with then we can start to rest easy"
