The Alexandria flew out of the atmosphere and into space. The two Breen ships were in pursuit. They flew on both sides of the ship firing at it. Allensworth figured he wasn't going to be able to get out of here without a fight.

"Helm, full stop." He said.

Even though confused, Ensign Hoyt did as he was told and commanded the Sovereign class vessel to stop. The two Breen vessels shot right past the ship. Allensworth stood ready waiting for the Breen to reappear. Allensworth saw two flashes of light and then the two Breen ships came into view.

"Lock on to the smaller ship."

"Weapons locked, sir."

"Fire."

The Alexandria unloaded a barrage of photon torpedoes and phasers upon the smaller Breen vessel. The ship didn't stand much of a chance against the mighty Starfleet vessel. Once that ship exploded, the other Breen ship came about to attack the Alexandria.

"Lieutenant, Quantum torpedoes."

"Ready, sir."

"Fire."

The Alexandria shot four blue quantum torpedoes that hit the Breen ship head on. The ship was stil coming. The two ends of the phaser array glowed and moved towards each other. Once they met, they fired a phaser beam right at the bridge of the Breen ship. The bridge exploded and the Breen ship was dead in space. The Ops station started beeping.

"Sir, I'm picking up a chain reaction coming from inside the Breen ship." Perim said.

"Let's get out of here. Set a course for the wormhole at maximum warp. Hit it." Allensworth ordered.

The Alexandria spun around as its nacelles glowed that sent it into warp.

Captain's Log: Stardate: 57179.6. We have just entered the wormhole and on our way back to the Alpha Quadrant. The away team is recovering from their encounter with the Breen. I had hoped to investigate the wreckage of the Columbia and maybe figure out what happened to Captain Erika Hernandez and her crew. Now that Starfleet knows where the downed ship is, they should send a few ships out to investigate. I hope one day we'll find out. Commander Zofchak has asked for a few days to fully recover from the experience with the Jem'Hadar, both physically and mentally. I hope to see him back on duty soon.

Zofchak walked out of the bathroom in his quarters, drying his hair. He had just gotten out of the Sonic Shower and was ready to relax. He sat down on the couch in front of a table that had a picture on it. He grabbed the picture and looked at it as he leaned back. The picture was of him and two girls in Starfleet uniforms. Dustin was in the middle with his arms around both girls and he held them close. All three of them had smiles on their faces. At that moment, the door chimed.

"Come in." He said without taking his eyes of the picture.

The doors slid away from one another as the visitor entered. Dustin looked up to see Counselor Nycz standing in the door way. He set the picture down and stood up.

"What can I do for you, Counselor?" He asked.

"Well, I was hoping that would've been my line." She responded.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, when we beamed you back from the Breen ship and you were striking the Jem'Hadar soldier, you seemed different."

"Different? How so?" Dustin said trying to act as if he didn't know.

"I think you know what I mean." She responded.

Dustin sat down and looked at the picture on the table. Christine sat next to him and glanced at the picture.

"You and your sisters?"

Dustin nodded. "They graduated from the academy two years after you and I did. This picture was taken right after the incident with the Borg. The Enterprise was under repairs and we were granted shore leave. My two sisters just happened to be on Earth at the time so we had this picture taken. We each have a copy of this picture." Dustin leaned back and a smile spread across his face. "Heh, this one time back home, the three of us were out walking and this rain storm came out of no where. We ran back home to avoid getting wet but it was futile considering we were soaked just standing in the rain for five seconds. We were running along side this hill and Amanda slipped on some mud and began to fall over the hill. I grabbed her but I began to fall too and then Avery grabbed me but it didn't help and all three of us went tumbling down this hill. We were covered in mud from head to toe when we got back home."

Christine smiled at the story but her smile faded when she saw Dustin's fade.

"Something happened, didn't it?" She asked.

"Every Starfleet officer did their time during the Dominion war and the three of us were no different. Amanda was aboard the Solent, I was on the Enterprise and Avery was stationed to guard a communications array on AR-558 in the Chin'toka system. She was killed during a Dominion assualt while Captain Sisko was there. I contacted Captain Sisko to find out what happened. He told me that she fought bravely and fullfilled her duties as a Starfleet officer. I asked how she was killed and he told me, that her phaser rifle's power chip was out and Jem'Hadar soldiers had overtaken that end of the barricade. Sisko said that as he was firing at the other's and that he saw her swing the rifle around like a bat and take out a few soldiers before two of them had jumped on her and killed her. It wasn't just a simple phaser blast to the chest or a knife in the back, they beat her repeatedly until she was dead and I don't think they stopped there. Sisko said they didn't stop until he was able to shoot them himself. I failed her. Her big brother, who had been there for her all of her life, wasn't there for her when she needed me the most."

Tears formed at the base of Dustin's eye and escaped down his cheek. Christine put her arm around Dustin and pulled him close to her.

"All I could think about while I was being chased by that Jem'Hadar on the Breen ship was that I was going to die. And once I got the upper hand, All I could think about was Avery and how she died. That's when I snapped. I wanted to do to him what they did to Avery. The three of us were supposed to meet up sometime after the war was over but it was just Amanda and I that showed up. The two of us plan to go to Avery's grave site every year and have a picnic right there on the site."

"I think Avery would like that very much." Christine said.

Even though, it didn't really make much of a difference physically, but just the thought of Avery smiling made Dustin feel a little bit better.
