The colours swirled in Jacks mind and his eyes twitched, he was lost in
a sea of confusion but unbeknownst to him things were unfolding rapidly
around him. That was the least of his concerns as the colours faded to
grey and he found himself looking up into the mans eyes, he had a
distinguished jaw and emerald green eyes. The pulse pistol was placed
firmly on the back of his mothers head and she was on her knees.
"Pick which one!" the man said as he used his free hand to slap the back
of her head.
"I can't! I just cant, they're my boys..." she sobbed.
"Listen to me you bitch, if you don't pick which one I'm going to murder
them both in front of you and then go to town on you" he spat violently
as Jack saw his father squirm from the corner, only to get a pulse shot
to the leg sending him down to the floor.
"Noooo!" Jack cried aloud.
"Take me!" Jacks brother said, protective of his family.
"NO!" Jack rocked violently shaking himself free of the nightmare and
pushing himself towards the light, eventually finding himself laying on
a biobed in sickbay with some nurse standing over him with a tricorder.
"Major Walsh! you're awake!" she exclaimed. "Sit still."
Jack was a little taken aback, the last thing that he remembered was
being caught in a fight with some X'chi who had him flanked.
"Williams..."he muttered waving her away with an exhausted hand.
"Petty Officer Williams didn't make it, Sir." she said solemnly.
"Who's in command of the unit?" he barked sitting up.
"Lieutenant Scott."
"Major Walsh to Lieutenant Scott." Jack said tapping his comm. badge but
to no avail.
Running his fingers through his hair he stifled a yawn looking at the
other casualties. "Doctor, I think you'd better make a space for
Lieutenant Scott." Jack said as he stood spotting his phaser rifle on
the scanner opposite him.
"Walsh to Keylor and All ODA Members, I've regained consciousness, as of
this moment I'm resuming command of the Unit, please pass all matters
pertaining to the ODA through me. Someone please meet me on the bridge
to get me upto speed on what's been happening" Jack barked as he grabbed
the phaser rifle and slung it over his shoulder before marching towards
the door of sickbay.
Up on the Bridge soon after Jack, slightly briefed looked over the
technical readout for the ship on the main engineering schematic. The
ship was by no means upto spec but he could see there was a small power
fluxuation a short way away from Main Engineering. He wasn't entirely
sure what it was, but he wanted it checked out. Lynch and Hawk were in
Engineering as best he understood.
Moments later however his Comm. Badge went off. "Hawk to Walsh. I've got
an X'chi unconscious in Engineering. Commander Summers needs it in
sickbay, request assistance." the Junior Lieutenant said, a little shaky
over the Comm.
Jack turned towards Bretam and then back to his console. "Stand by, I'm
getting a lock now and transporting it to Sickbay." he said as he
scanned Engineering for an X'chi life form before initiating the site to
site transport.
"Sir" Jack turned to the General who had clearly seen better days. "If
there's an X'chi in the Engineering vicinity there could be more.
There's a power fluxuation ive detected nearby that could be something.
Permission to check it out."
"Granted Major, but watch your Six."
Jack looked at the General, who seemed to be searching a little bit for
Jacks name, but settled on 'Major'. He was going to ask him if he was
ok, but Jack knew how he felt about his own officers asking him how he
felt, it wasn't their place.
Stepping into the Turbolift he ordered "Engineering." as the turbolift
came into action. Moments later however the maglocks came into place as
everything came to a stop, lights n all. At a best guess Jack reckoned
that Main Power was offline, meaning the warp core was down.
"Walsh to all available ODA members. I think we've got a situation in
the Gotts Engine Room. Assemble ready for me outside Engineering double
time." Jack said getting a foot up on the wall and pushing open the
turbo lifts hatch.
Here we go again.
