Mike smiled. It had been a long, long time before he had been behind a phaser rifle and while this one felt real, it was only a fake one, firing an orange beam of harmless radiation. He had only volunteered to join the ODA when he heard how they were strugelling to defend main engineering, and since in a real combat situation he would be there, he had volunteered. Stood on the transporter pad, he thought back to the times of being a security officer on the starbase Midway, when he had fought off an attack on the promenade. He dematieralised and appeared on the top level of main engineering to see a Simspon officer, most likely an engineer who was interefering with Mike's console, presumably trying to disable a system. "Hm Hm" Mike coughed cheekily, "I do believe that is MY console" he said as he shot the turning officer with the radiation. The officer cursed as he was transported away by the computer, a fake-casualty of the games. Mike smiled, he loved shooting people. Mike walked over to the console and locked it out, along with all other engineering systems, none of the Simpsons were going to damage his engineering bay, turning to look down at the bottom level, he saw the doors being pulled apart with magnetic handles, clearly the small group of marines had failed. He lined up the phaser rifle in the very center of the door at head height and slighly zoomed in. When the door opened a couple of inches, he took down the first target. "Hehe" he said to himself, giggling at the officer he had just shot. One of the conditions of the war games was that a pretend mine fastened to the warpcore would count as a victory and Mike was only too aware of how likely this was. As the doors opened some more, he shot down another officer, taking a scan he found that there was another. Minutes passed, Mike watching the door, the officer waiting for his chance, as all of a sudden the man jumped through, his big blue plastic mine in his hand. Mike took a shot, and another but missed. He jumped up the couple of stairs onto the platform which surrounded the warpcore. He saw the officer put one leg over the barrier below him, and the officer began to climb over. Mike had left his phaser. He had seconds. He cursed and the officer heard him. "Noone beats the Chimera" shouted Mike, throwing him over the red bar down towards the officer. Mike knocked the poor man over, and siezing his phaser, shot him in the chest. Mike tapped his commbadge, "Engineering secured" he said as he passed out on the floor.
