Chapter 5
"How long do we have until those ships reach us?"
"6 minutes"
"Janeway to Engineering, B'Elanna I need warp"
"Just a few more minutes Captain"
"Captain the three ships just disappeared from sensors"
Kathryn turned to look at Chakotay before she heard Harry's worried distressed sounding voice.
"Captain a Tambor ship just decloaked right in front of us"
"Arm Torpedoes and target their weapons, Tom evasive manoeuvres"
The ship gave an all too familiar lurch as it was hit by the Tambor's weapons, she could hear Tuvok behind her continuing to fire at the Tambor ship and she could see Tom in front of her trying to keep the ship out of the way of the Tambor weapons as much as possible.
"Bridge to Engineering, B'Elanna I need the warp engines online now"
"One more minute Captain"
Kathryn could hear the sounds of explosions in engineering accompanying the ones on the bridge.
"Tuvok target their engines make sure they can't follow us" she ordered as the ship continued to lurch and shake with every hit the Tambor were able to land.
"B'Elanna!"
"Okay go ahead the warp engines should be online"
"The Tambor's engines have been disabled" Tuvok stated from behind her
"Tom get us out of here"
Tom walked into sickbay, the ship was not anywhere close to being out of danger but the immediate threat was over. He had been told to report to sickbay to help the Doctor with the numerous injuries from the attack. When he walked in he saw B'Elanna walking out.
"Are you okay?" he asked concerned
"I'm fine, some of my people were injured I was just helping to get them to sick bay" he felt a sudden wave of relief run through him and pulled her to him, holding her tightly. She held him back just as tightly and for a moment they just stood there. B'Elanna pulled back and smiled at him.
"I have to get back to work"
"Okay" he said and he watched B'Elanna walked out of sickbay before turning to help the Doc.
Chakotay walked through the corridors next to Kathryn, the ship was a mess it had taken one hell of a beating between the two battles. The two of them were filthy just from walking down to engineering to see how repairs were coming. Communications had gone down and so had the transporters. Kathryn hadn't said a word since they had left the bridge and Chakotay was starting to worry about her. Her face paled every time they walked past an injured crewman and they had seen a lot of them around on their way to engineering.
"Kathryn are you okay?"
"I'm fine Chakotay" she said but she didn't look at him her gaze was fixed on the floor as they walked into engineering and Chakotay decided to let it go for now.
"Status report" she said finally looking up at B'Elanna and Harry who had been sent down here to help after they had gotten away from the Tambor.
"The ship is a mess, communications and transporters are down and it's going to take days to get them back online"
"Do what you can, hopefully now that we're at warp we can stay ahead of the Tambor that were after us before and if we're really lucky there are none ahead of us"
