"ODA to Deck 4, Section A. We have intruders." came Acheson's voice over
the
comm. line, giving Jacks team the signal they were waiting for.
Moments later the Comms lit up again with an unfamiliar voice, but then
again
Jack knew only a handful of people on this ship, and most of them were
gearing
up as the CEO's voice echoed over the comm. line.
"Lt Blackburn to all ODA officers. The Simpson officers have just taken
an internal
sensor sweep report from our computer. They know where you are, your
positions
are compromised. If you regroup, they will not know this, use it to your
advantage.
Mike out."
What?
"Captain?" Corpral Kilpatrick turned to him with a Phaser rifle in his
hand.
"Anyone gets a shot at Blackburn....take it" Jack said turning on his
heel and
heading towards the door. "Lets Move out!" he grabbed a phaser rifle off
the
rack and headed out the door with his team bringing up the rear.
Looking at his tricorder, which was linked into internal sensors, he saw
that the
Simpson's strike force had split into 2 groups. The first was moving
slowly along
deck four and the second was moving down the Jefferies tubes into the
bowels
of the ship. They could be going anywhere but if they were even
reasonably trained
officers they'd be heading for Engineering.
That's where Jack would be heading at least.
"Kilpatrick, take a team and head those bastards off, the rest of you
follow me to
main engineering. I want to make myself some friends" he muttered the
end and popped
open a hatch to the Jefferies tubes."
"Surely it'd be best to take a turbolift Captain?" some faceless plump
Starfleet
recruited member of his team stared.
"I don't know what you're used to Ensign, but if you want to stay on any
kind of duty
where you're not cleaning my boots with your tongue get your rump into
that shaft and
head down to engineering. double time!" he barked at Joe Schmoe whatever
he be
called.
Once the 6 of them had made it down to Engineering he typed in an access
code
to access engineering and slid the door open, signalling for the ODA
members to
move out and secure the area. As they exited the tubes however a shot
came and
hit Joe schmoe in the chest, instantly he was beamed to cargo bay one
where he'd
be detained for the duration of the exercise.
Jack didn't shout or speak, for fear that the Simpson officers might
have received
*some* training, if they had audio contact would give away his position.
Luckily
for him the rest of his officers were marines. Highly trained and highly
aware of
how to handle themselves in combat.
Taking the knife from his boot he slouched down by the console he was
taking
refuge behind and looked around the corner. Putting it back in its place
he looked
at his officers who were ready and waiting for his orders. Signalling
that he'd made
visual contact with 3 Hostiles he told 2 of the marines to head upto the
upper deck
and take them from the rear.
"You know..." Jack called aloud as he pulled the ring off of a smoke
grenade.
"You Guys really do suck" he let off a chuckle as he tossed it behind
him and
made a break for the wall. The Simpson guys took this as an opportunity
to fire
blindly into the smoke, giving away all 5 of their positions.
Dropping to the floor he fired into a spot by the wall where he had seen
a laser
dispatch into his general direction and after about 4 shots he heard the
transporter
kick in, and then again as one of his officers shot a Simpson officer in
the back.
Three.
Seconds later some guy came scootering upto him with a yellow collar and
a
phaser rifle that he seemed far too unfamiliar with. "You one of mine?"
"Chief Engineer...."he merely said. "Can I help?"
Jack Pondered.
"Only because this is a drill, If this were the real thing I'd have you
escorted from
the area, for your own safety of course..." he paused and let off a few
shots into
the vicinity of the Simpson's guys. "Don't get me wrong, I just wont be
held
accountable for an improperly trained officer dieing under my command."
Jack
let off another few and looked up to the upper deck. "I'm sure you can
find
something to shoot up there."
Whisky was needed.
"More Officers have beamed onto the Chimera" Came Acheson's voice over
the Comm. line.
"Then Grab a phaser Lieutenant, there's plenty of things to shoot." Jack
replied
down the comm. and pulled up a real time display of the intruders on the
Chimera.
"Computer Activate Forcefields in these areas" he tapped the junctions
on the
display and then tapped his comm. Badge, which was interrupted.
"Engineering secured" Came Blackburn's voice shortly after Jack heard a
thud
from around the corner
Walking out from behind the wall Walsh looked at the unconscious body of
the engineering chief. "Somebody clean this mess up." He nodded to a
Private
and signalled the rest of his guys to follow him.
About 20 minutes later Jack and his gang were on deck 7, In pursuit of a
group
of Simpson's officers who were looking for the stashes of alcohol that
He and
Acheson had hidden all over the ship.
Around the Corner he head the sound of what he thought was a crutch.
Peering
quickly he saw Lieutenant Blackburn with his back to Jack. "Freeze!" he
pretended
he didn't know who the guy was, well in all honesty the last time he saw
the guy
he was passed out, this could have been anyone.
"Don't shoot!" Said Blackburn turning around.
and with that Jack shot him and the guy dematerialized. "I said, don't
move."
"You guys owe me a drink" he turned to his boys who were waiting behind
him
with a slightly smirkish look on their faces. Their loving was short
lived as a
Simpson officer darted out of a door ahead of them and started firing
shots
at them.
"Walsh to Acheson." he called into the Comm. Badge after looking at his
tricorder.
"Theres a hostile headed your way."
After what seemed like a good long while of holding their position the
CEO's
voice came over the Comm. line. "This is the CHEIF Engineering Officer
of the
USS Chimera to all hands. Please note that Main Engineering will be
off limits to wargaming officers, any intrusion will be considered an
act of disobedience to direct orders and I will have you arrested.
Thank you for your co-operation."
"What's up with that?" Called out a Petty Officer, who to be honest was
a little
too forthcoming with speaking in Jacks opinion.
"Its classic 'I'm not playing so nobody else can play anymore'" Jack
smirked
feeling glad he'd shot the guy now. "Regardless, He cant have me
arrested
he's only the Chief Engineer." He Let out a smirk once more before the
computers
voice filled the air once more.
[ All intruders have been contained]
"I got him." Came Acheson's voice from behind them. "Guess its our turn
to
give them a little payback."
<<OOC: Pushing things forward. Feel free to NPC members of the ODA any
