The ship crashed into the building, effectively sending them back inside... if you call a gaping hole in the building inside. Bones and Zahra got to her pretty fast considering they had to climb part of the way down to where she was and Zahra was only operating with one arm.

"Remind me to kill those things," her husband growled. Bones was not happy, "Jim, you alright, darlin?"

Jamie groaned, "I'm fine, it's just my leg. Help me up." Bones injected her with a mild painkiller and pulled her to her feet. It was no use; her leg was done.

"Take this," Bones handed her his phaser and then picked her up, mindful of her leg. Jamie took a deep breath as she took in her husband. There was something insanely hot about all this. The second they get ten minutes to themselves, she was gonna jump his bones, pun intended. He glanced at her face and smiled, "What's with the smirk, darlin'?"

"Not in front of the kids, dear," she said with a wink. The Gorn that got tossed out of the ship with them were spilling out everywhere, Jamie started shooting over her husband's shoulder. Zahra was shooting with her good arm. Jamie called for her other officers over the comm, "Spock, Kai?"

"I am here, Captain," Spock informed her as he jumped off a ledge.

Kai spoke up as he pushed some debris off himself, "Still kicking, ma'am."

They needed to rendezvous with Gaila and T'Mar and get the hell out of here. The Gorn had the device and Surok; there was nothing else they could do from the ground. Spock notified T'Mar that they needed an exit and she told them where to go. Gaila and T'Mar intersected with them as they made their way out of the compound.

"The Gorn have overrun this facility. This way, Captain," T'Mar told them before she led the team outside. Jamie looked up just as the Gorn ships were prepping to go. She knew it was bad that the interference was clearing; it meant the Helios Device was getting away.

"Scotty, beam us out of here," she ordered into her communicator.

"You bet your ass, Captain," the engineer had them beamed up in a flash.

"We need to get to the bridge. I know what you're gonna say, Bones but we're short on time," she told her husband. He rolled his eyes and whispered that she was lucky he loved her. Bones carried her to the turbolift and onto the bridge, "Full power, Sulu. We can't lose that ship. Uhura, open all hailing frequencies." The two lieutenants followed their orders while Bones sat Jamie in her chair and fixed what damage to her leg he could while on the bridge.

"No response, Captain," Uhura informed her.

Jamie shrugged, "It's okay, I didn't feel like talking to them anyway. Chekov, Sulu, prepare to engage hostiles."

"Aye, Keptin," the wiz kid responded.

Sulu nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

Spock spoke up from the science console, "Captain, sensors indicate a Vulcan life sign on the larger enemy ship."

Jamie nodded, "Surok."

Chekov warned her from his station, "Enemy fighters are vithin range, Keptin. Zhey're on intercept course vith us."

"Phaser banks are at maximum charge, Captain," Scotty informed her from the engineering station.

Jamie took a breath, "Sulu, Chekov, get ready to dance. Bones, you might wanna hold onto something."

Uhura looked at her, "Fighters approaching in three… two… one…"

"Fire at will, gentlemen," Jamie ordered. Both officers got to work as the fighters tried to take them out. It would've actually been cool to watch if it wasn't life or death. Sulu and Chekov were always good friends but after Nero, they were even closer, like brothers. It showed in how they worked together and it reminded her of when she worked with Trip; it was as if they were two halves of the same brain. They destroyed the smaller ships and the larger ones started pulling some crazy moves.

"What the hell are they doing?" she asked.

Spock answered her as the whole ship shuttered, "They appear to be engaging in some form of suicide mission."

Jamie didn't like the sound of that, "Scotty, damage report."

The engineer responded, "Assessing now, Captain. At quick glance, she appears to be holding together. I don't know how much more she can take."

"Sulu, Chekov, make sure none of them get through the shields," she instructed the two gold shirts.

Uhura turned in her chair, "Captain, the enemy ships have resumed course towards the Rip."

Spock stood next to her, "With the attack fighters destroyed, we could easily overtake the remaining vessels." He was speaking her language.

"Hold your fire. Sulu, go to full impulse and get us within transporter range. Uhura hail the lead ship and tell them that they're about to be boarded." Uhura acknowledged but the ships around them started going up, "I said HOLD your fire." Jamie looked at Sulu and Chekov.

Sulu shook his head, "That wasn't us, Captain. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they were firing on their own ships." She nodded and thought about the implications.

"They're creating a debris field… with their own ships and people," Jamie said. She glanced at Spock; he nodded his agreement. That's just great; their new foe was crazy and placed no value on their own lives. It's hard to fight someone like that, someone with nothing to lose. As soon as they were within torpedo range, Jamie ordered Sulu to aim at the engines and disable the ship. "Uhura, get me Starfleet Command. Sulu, set pursuit course," she issued her orders. She knew they'd have to do something before the Gorn figured out how to use the Helios Device.

"We're going over there?" Bones asked her. Jamie nodded at her husband's question. "Jim, you can barely walk on your own and sickbay is full of infected Vulcans. We need to get these people to the nearest Starbase, yesterday."

Uhura looked at her, "Captain, the Rip is interfering with communications. I can't raise Command."

Bones shook his head, "So… you plan to go through a compressing rip in the fabric of space to chase an alien race we know nothing about, except that they have a doomsday device and we can't even call for backup. Jim, that's stupid. You're a lot of things but stupid is not one of them."

"The doctor may be correct. If we fail in our pursuit, Starfleet would know nothing of our fate and they would be ill equipped to defend the Federation from the Gorn threat," Spock added.

"ETA to the Rip is two minutes, Captain," Sulu notified her. Jamie hated it when Bones and Spock teamed up on her; it usually meant she should just listen to them, usually, not always.

"We don't know what's on the other side, Jim. We gotta get these people off this ship if we're gonna go fight a war," Bones said to her.

T'Mar stepped forward, "Commodore Daniels operates a starbase, nearby." Jamie nodded, she knew that, even though she didn't want to.

"Dammit. Sulu break off pursuit and get us to Frontier Seventeen. As much as I hate Daniels, it's our only logical option."
