Katie beams onto the ship and at the Leuitenants instruction begins to get to work on systems infront of her, trying to break the encyrption and obtain an accurate internal scan of the ship.

"That they do LT, try not to get poked. I prefer my Chief to not be in Medbay."

Shortly after Lt Urquhart obtained the ships logs Katie, with a little bit of help, managed to access sensors. "Umm Commander you might want to see this, I've managed to get access to the sensors and we are looking at 2 lifeforms in" Katie quickly corssrefences with the ships map Christine extracted "Sickbay."

"One lifeform is fading, and the book is calling it an Allasomorph. The other is humaniod, male and young. If he is human then defintely a young boy but it's only rating it highly likely for Human. So Allasmorph adult and a young likely male human. Sir we need to get medical attention to that Allasomorph and quickly."

Christine looked over to his XO & said, "Dad knows what normal procedure is when it comes to this stuff. Suggest we do as normal. Something must be up." She turned to Katie, "How fast can you get sensors on this boat back up? I hate being blind in space."

((TAG))

"Its better than nothing." She said, then dove under a console to start working.

USS FEARLESS BRIDGE - Deck 1 - Stardate 58370.2 - July 2, 2381 - 08:01



The Endeavour fired several shots at the Fearless upon its opening salvo and while the Nebula had an impressive 340 degree firing arc, the Fearless for all its age managed to evade the first Salvo of phaser fire in thanks to both Thane’s quick order and their Helmsman’s excellent piloting.

“Helm, Evasive maneuvers, fly it like you stole it and get into the rear 20-degree arc of the Endeavour and stay in that position. We will not last a direct fight.” Thane ordered. “Engineering, drop Aux power into Weapons. Tactical, lock onto their engines, and fire at will! I want a mobility kill on the Endeavour. There will be innocent crew onboard.”

"Science, scan the Endeavour, give me exploitable flaws."

The Fearless maneuvered in and around the Endeavour and began to ride the rear arc, keeping the thinner, though longer ship outside of the Endeavour’s more broader firing range.

Thane knew the Endeavour had a full 340 degree firing arc from the saucer section alone, with no rear photon torpedoes. He had to take this thing on like a Raider until the Defiant arrived.

((=^=)) Lt. Commander R'Turan make sure that your Officers transmit both any footage and security logs directly to the USS Endeavor immediately! ((=^=))


((=^=)) Yes Commander, as per our aforementioned agreement we need access to those logs NOW! Do not delay... and we will continue to monitor your team's progress. ((=^=))

Christine furrowed her brow, then addressed R'Turan, "I can send a copy of the logs to both ships," she said, "but it might take some time. I'm not familiar with Dominion systems."

After receiving a confirming nod, Christine started to fiddle with a console near what was the tactical station. All the consoles looked tubular & sharply angled. "Whoever designed these ships," she said, offhand, "must love pointy things." She looked at a readout and said to Katie, "See if you can get internal sensors up. Might help."

It took her five minutes to get the logs up. "Commander, ship logs are up." She said, then presented him with the last log to be filed.

"It says more than a week ago," she stated, "all 800 Dominion lifeforms aboard just vanished. Jesus."

Listening to the broadcast from the Endeavour for a moment, R'Turan brusquely clicked his combadge partway through the Admiral's transmission, cutting the older man off and silencing the broadcast across the Dominion ship's bridge. "No, Lieutenant. We will stick to the normal procedure and transmit it only to the Fearless. If there were any previous agreements with the Admiral, I would have been informed by the Captain." His fur rose in faint concern as he inspected the presented logs. "Noted."

((=^=)) “R’turan you are to transmit the logs and footage to the Fearless, per the standard for this investigation. Admiral Boughm and Captain Holland, no such agreement was ever made or reached between us. You are here to monitor, provide assistance as needed and not interfere with the boarding party unless in an emergency situation.” ((=^=))

Pressing his combadge again, R'Turan replied with a simple: "Yes, sir," before rounding on Christine. "You heard the Captain, Lieutenant. Transmit the log to the Fearless." Gesturing for the rest of the Team to follow, he paused at Katie's words and unholstered his phaser rifle again, shouldering the comfortable weight once more. The only indicator of any stress was the faint flicking of his long, tufted tail from side to side, otherwise the Lieutenant Commander seemed perfectly calm--stern, yes, but comfortable with the current situation.

"One lifeform is fading, and the book is calling it an Allasomorph. The other is humanoid, male and young. If he is human then definitely a young boy but it's only rating it highly likely for Human. So Allasmorph adult and a young likely male human. Sir, we need to get medical attention to that Allasomorph and quickly."

"Acknowledged, Ensign. Get the sensors on this thing up and running; Lieutenant Urquhart, I want you looking at the weapon systems. If they are functional, inform me. The rest of you," He indicated to the security team, "Take a tricorder and accompany me to Sickbay. Ensign, Lieutenant, find us there as soon as your respective work is completed."

Lt. Fav motioned as the 3 other security officers followed him forward through the corridor towards the bulkheads. Once there the Chief of Security following the orders given from Lt. Commander R'Turan paused before signaling again towards his officers again to take their proper defensive positions. Lt. Fav approached the door cautiously pulling a digital lock breaker from his satchel. Suddenly the door opens violently by itself!

Lt. Fav falls backwards to one knee narrowly avoiding banging his head from falling from what was felt as a strong current of air. The door was torn open and obviously clearly compromised. Lt. Fav clenches his fist indicating for officers not to move or fire their weapons. A small figure walks through the door very slowly... one of the security Officers shout "it's the child!!"


Why can't you just leave us alone!! Fight your war and leave us be... (( raises his hand and with a slight wave all weapons on each Fearless Crew Member aboard the Dominion ship disappear)) They lied to me... they told me that they would help me see my dad again... but they were torturing my mother so I made them all go away...

Lt. Fav's is in pure shock several seconds... it is the first time he has ever felt this level of fear. Blinking rapidly his composure returns to him as he raises his hands up...


Listen, we mean you no harm...


The weapons you carried say otherwise.


Our weapons were for any remaining Dominion onboard this ship.. You must allow our medical team to help the female-- your mother.


The last time I allowed someone to help my mother they tried to hurt her. Maybe you are the same as they were.... ((begins to raise his arm))


((whispers)) Oh my gawd!


Wait! My name is Ellen... Ellen Celo. Your mother's name is Diane, all we want to do is help Diane... please... ((Holding up her hands and walking forward)) all I have on me is medical equipment. What you made vanish from me was a device that would have subdued the parasitic aliens... I have a mother too all of us here have mothers, and we all want to see our mothers again. If I were you... I would protect her too. But we are not your enemy.. What is your name?


((Lowers his hand)) Max... my name is Max. And I love my mother very much.

No response to our hails Captain. Perhaps the Endeavor is attacking the Fearless due to it's Captain being compromised!?


I am getting negative readings of any anyone aboard both the Endeavor or the Fearless who might have been compromised with Species RNP, otherwise known as The Remmick Neural Parasite.


Red Alert... What about the Dominion ship, Old Man?


One lifeform's readings are dropping! We need to hurry! There's no telling what that child will do next!


Closing in direct intercept course of the Endeavor, we are now in range. The Endeavor's shields are at 63%. Captain Thane seems to be employing attack pattern Sierra 0. The Endeavor is firing at us again... maintaining evasive maneuvers.

I believe what is happening at the moment is because of the child... Send prioriy message to the Fearless, tell them to cease all firing, per my orders. Help has arrived, Maintain Attack Pattern Sierra 3... scan for life readings aboard the Endeavor specifically .. Decks 26, 27,28.


No lifesigns there Captain. The Endeavor is now firing at us Captain...


Damage report!


Our shields are holding at 89%... Captain the Endeavor is preparing to fire its aft torpedo!


Commander Worf use all 4 of our rapid fire pulse cannons to wear down their shields and follow up with phaser fire directly to... these coordinates. On my mark.... now!

The Endeavor is jolted by a relatively small explosion centralized on Deck 27, the residence of it's Environmental Controls. Gravity upon the starship is lost as everyone aboard begins to float up, or if walking begin to float forward rapidly. Management of waste is also rendered non existent.The marriage between both occurrences happening together is debilitating.. .Moments later...


((=^=))Stand down Yellow Alert Captain Thane, this is Captain Sisko of the USS Defiant. Please scan the Endeavor, you will find them to be currently inoperative. We are patching you into our coms jointly.((=^=))


((=^=))My apologies to both of you... I believed that you were two Dominion Raiders! I should have trusted and rechecked our sensors but everyone aboard could see what I did! I still insist that we need the video and current information going on aboard the Dominion ship.((=^=))


((=^=))I believe that Captain Thane has every right to properly examine and scientifically analyze everything before handing it over to you or us. Especially given our current set of circumstances wouldn't you say Captain Hollard? And especially you, Admiral Broughm?((=^=))

Both Captain Holland, and Admiral Broughm acknowledge in awkward agreement towards Captain Sisko, both men clearly embarrassed by their earlier mistakes. The Endeavor began to repair its damage caused by the disabling of its environmental systems, and even sent a subspace message to the space station for assistance. Some of the crew from the Defiant beamed over to help address the clean up. Captain Sisko accompanied alongside Commander Worf, and Jadzia all beam aboard the Dominion starship...

Christine slowly nodded her head as she transmitted the data to the Fearless. She was obviously confused as to why exactly her father would firing on the Fearless. Then, a realization popped into her head. The Dowood could produce very real illusions to protect themselves. She looked at the commander and said, "Me & Katie have things under control. I'll call if anything pops up."

She sees her XO leave and says to Katie, "Let's at least get a phaser bank armed, just in case."

((TAG))

As she was working, she saw the glistening transporter pattern in front of her. When it dissipated, she saw Sisko & Worf stand there and look to her. "XO & the rest of the away team is in the medbay." She saw Sisko go to the lift and Worf approach the console. "How did you deal with this situation, Sir?" She asked plainly.

USS FEARLESS-DECK 10 - FORWARD -JULY 21 2381, 09:25


Adwik Rawat had just ended and he decided to go to Ten Forward to catch on some reading, he thinks to himself,Finally after all that work some time to read. Just as he was about to sit with his PADD and Raktajiino, The Red ALert Klaxons start Blaring and he sees A Dominion Cruiser appearing into view he thinks,Oh, give me a break, not again. 10 odd people rush out on hearing the red alert klaxon and the rest conversing stood up and went closer, to the windows including Rawat.
USS FEARLESS-DECK 10 - FORWARD -JULY 21 2381, 09:35
Seeing the battle between the Defiant and endavour was like seeing a battle of 3D Chess, opponents trying to outmaneuvour each other. Rawat thought,If the klingons were here they would describe this battle as glorious.. Everyone cheered loudly when the Endevaour discharged its weapons. It was ecstatic, Everyone started chanting "Defiant" loudly, there were claps, whistles. Adwik enjoyed this to its fullest. It was a truly exhilarating experience for him.

Currently, Lt. we are still dealing with the situation. (smiles and glances at Lt. Urquhart) However, I am here to help insure we are successful. Old Man, make sure to activate your recording function on your combadge.


((Pulls out Tricorder)) Always...Captain, Worf... follow me.

Medical officers Ensign Boyd continued to monitor her life signs as Doctor Sheldon did her best to administer Motor Assist bands which almost immediately helped to regenerate her damaged tissue. Doctor Sheldon quickly ascertained that she had been beaten for weeks likely by the Jem'Hadar. Ensign Boyd called out to notify that her lifesigns were fading rapidly. She's hemorrhaging! Administering Drechtal beam to cease the hemorrhaging.

She's flatlining! Ensign Boyd frantically notifying Doctor Sheldon as the Vulcan / Human hybrid movements become a blur in sequence. Her fingers tap quickly across her Neural Shock kit's interface. She quickly applies the device to the Allasomorph and activates it half a second later. "Clear!!!" Max's mother's body spasms violently. "No signal!!!" Doctor Sheldon attempts again. "Clear!" The Allasomorph spasms several more times to no avail.


We've lost her. Note the time as 9:36 PM and the date July 21, 2381. Max we are very sorry...


((Cries)) It's all my fault!! If I didn't delay you by making your ships into the Jem'Hadar you would have arrived here sooner!!! Mother died because of me!!! I can make people go away but I don't know how to heal anyone!!!


Somebody do something!! We don't need--


Shut up.


Max I need you to look at me, ok... we couldn't save your mother but we are going to save you! Will you let us help you?


I don't deserve any help... maybe... I will make myself disappear.


No child doing that will only make matters worse. I made certain decisions years ago and it caused the people that I loved to be without me. Your mother would want you to continue to live and learn how to heal or help others.


Enough! I will no longer sit and do nothing while lives are lost because I refused to act. Max is too young to even realize what it is he has done. But I will take responsibility for his actions and shape his mind so that he will never interfere with the world of humanoids again.


Father!!! ((Runs to and embraces him))


It's him...


Yes, a father should guide his son... especially a son as uniquely powerful as yours.


((nods slowly glaring at Worf then turns with a penetrative gait to the Doctor)) Thank you, for your effort to aid my lover. Your actions are deeply appreciated.


Thank you, ((bows)) I wish our efforts were successful.


It is an honor to meet you, Douwd. I am Captain Ben--


I know who you are.


Thank you for helping me... Ellen.


((smiles)) My pleasure Max. You listen and do what your father says ok?


((nods)) I will!


Yes... of course you do. Where will you take your son? Even though the gravity of the loss of an entire species cannot be measured. There may come a time when the Federation may need your help against a being similar to your abilities. How can we contact you if that time should come?


((Turns to face Sisko)) It is better that you do not know where we go. Such information could be compromised or exploited. And if such a threat does make themselves known... my son and I will do what is necessary to save both your species and theirs.from extinction.


Thank you, and may I ask what is your name?


My name is... Kevin Uxbridge. Farewell...

Two extremely bright lights caused most of the officers to cover their eyes and in moments the beacons of radiant light disappeared. Once the Federation Officers aboard the Dominion Ship could focus properly utilizing their vision they quickly noticed that the body of the recently deceased Allasomorph had also vanished. Crews from the Defiant and the Fearless beamed back aboard their respective vessels after collecting as much information, weapons, and supplies from the Dominion vessel taking a total of 2 more Earth days.

Because of the information found aboard the Dominion ship all Vorta, and Jem'Hadar starships that were now crewless and adrift could now be located within the Gamma Quadrant. The Fearless Endeavor, and the Defiant all rendezvous at Starbase 185. Commodore Picard sends a subspace transmission to Captain Thane that Starfleet has requested that their entire crew immediately vacate the USS Fearless NCC 14598 for decommission.

The invasion of Remmick Neural Parasite didn't last. The combined efforts of the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans quickly turned the tide of the war after Earth was successfully defended. Whether or not the Dominion or any other species were seeking to follow the invasion would never be known. But the Dominion's efforts of torturing the Allasomorph led to the extinction of the Vorta, Jem'Hadar, yet the Founders status was still unknown.

The Federation now had a new challenge... charting the entire Gamma Quadrant. Ultimately. they would also learn of what other species remained to take advantage of what is likely the Dominion's eradication.
