Topic: A Furyan's Fire.

Captain Archimedes Remus gazed over the computer read outs. The Nexus brought many species, races and the like together in this universe. Lucky, or unlucky for the others living here. A Furyan by birth, he'd traveled and found others. Some taken from a thought to be dead world. Others, tracked down and picked up along the way. Osyrus Johnson, O.J. for short, was a dark man holding Furyan blood who'd been found running small time scams for big scores. Extortion games really. He rather liked keeping his mustache, goatee trimmed and neat for the ladies. Had a fancy for leather and wore a learther long coat often. Cypris and Thomas were Furyan as well. Big and muscled. Carl held muscles, but he was more the quiet one. The thinker. The killer who spoke little in words but volumes in his actions. Like Remus he preferred projectile weapons and often could be found about the ship with a pair of pistols tucked into his belt, or a pair of leather shoulder holsters. True, many onboard were Furyan but not all. It took a decent sized crew, even that of a skeleton crew, to run a ship. The Captain's second in command, was Dorn. A once great Klingon Officer who was said to have lost his place after the Dominion War from his galaxy. It was Dorn, that had spies who'd smuggled Remus the information of the whereabouts of the construction yard. It was Dorn that had supplied Remus with the perfect time to slip in with a Federation cargo vessel and take the Prometheus class ship right out of the yard. Several Federation security and crew had been, put down, but all in the name of glory and better things to come for Remus and those following him. The vessel's ability to split into three separate ships to attack proved helpful in their escape. Destroying the ship yard and the five over ships in dock before merging back together and entering warp for the wormhole and the Rhydin Star System.

Some from Rhydin, some from surrounding systems had found their way on board the stolen ship. Each, had to prove worthy to be taken on. Each had to go through a probationary period before given trust. An educated man, Archimedes Remus was no fool. His plans for their future were ever expanding and this system, as the surrounding star systems, only proved to aid those plans. Ah yes, this star system offered much to those with ambition. Those with a drive. Those, without fear.

"Cargo being aboard now." "Count?" Came Archimedes question. "Twenty seconds." Replied Cypris. "Cargo aboard, shields up Captain." "Fire torpedoes."

Proton torpedoes shot forth from the ship to impact with the damaged freighter, as the two patrol ships moved in to attack, Remus and his ship. "Phasers on the lead vessel, torpedoes stand by." Spoke the calm Remus as he lowered into the Captain's chair upon the bridge. Phasers opened fire and impacted to one of the patrol ships. She slowed from the impact and wasn't given a chance to return fire as Remus gave the order to hit her with torpedoes. The patrol ship shook from the impact of the first torpedo. As the second slammed into her starboard side she could be seen rippling almost as internal explosions took her out of the fight. The second patrol ship would only get in a couple laser hits to the shielding before Remus had his ship enter warp. Food and engine supplies onboard, they'd be well for a while and not needing to worry over parts for repairs.

A trip would be made to the famous Star's End Spaceport soon. However first a couple planets and one seemingly abandoned station was to be inspected. A port away was required. It was always good to have more then one safe haven to lay rest to. Stock pile supplies at. As the ship made way in warp, Carl was several decks down interrogating some of the crew they'd taken from the freighter. Other travel, trade routes would need to be known for future acquiring of goods. Not to mention any information about local systems they might know of. Three Hellhounds moved about the bridge. There were over three dozen onboard in total. They'd proven well as a sort of guard dog and intimidation tactic against others. One laid out in it's large form by the Captain's chair. Butch, was his name. Dark in color, unless angered and a crimson shade took over their hide, the creatures with their unique eyes proved wondrous in the search for Furyan survivors sometime back on a dark, seemingly dead world. The Klingon Dorn held two as 'pets' so to speak. Remus had gifted them to his Klingon first officer soon after they'd acquired the unique Federation ship they now called home. Animals not for that of the weak minded or those lacking in strength. Remus' lowered his hand downward along Butch's tough hide after dropping him a large piece of jerky like meat he'd been eating. The hound snapped it out of the air and gave a resounding growl of approval.

"As they say, Fortune favors the bold. Let's take...a side trip. Weapons at the ready. I feel...like tearing up the stars a bit, Mr. Dorn."

The Nebari Host ship listed to port before explosions tore through her hull. Not a match in the least for the predator like instincts of Remus, the ship fell prey to a violent and quick attack by Zenovia splitting into three separate and quite capable attack ships. Once all three pieces of the puzzle were assembled, he simply moved on. Several freighters and a cruiser or two from a star empire laid to waste, nothing spilled more blood then that of a Furyan with a hunger.

"I've heard, of this ship." Remus commented to Thomas as he gazed over the display read outs before him on the screen. The large, dark skinned Furyan gave a slow nod of his head before continuing. "Remus, with this ship, you'd be invincible. A God amongst the stars." "I do not know if I seek to be a God, Thomas. However the power lined up with such a name is appealing my friend. Where did you get these schematics?" Thomas perked a smile before continuing upon the deep tone of his voice. "A Federation Intelligence Officer back when we, acquired the very ship we are upon now. It's amazing what a person will tell you when their arm is broken in two." Remus nodded slowly, gaze turned over the screen and the vessel on display. "The ship you show me, is made for war. Made for deciding who lives and who shall not. Thomas, when I spoke of hearing of this very ship I meant I heard of it's destruction." Thomas gave a slow nod of his head toward the read out on the screen before them. "Yes, the original was. However, the design proved durable and quite valuable in the ship's short life that some were bold enough to create more." Remus paused his hand over the read out, turning those odd eyes of his over Thomas. "How many more are we talking?" "At least three, if not four. All are located in the same shipyard. Foolish as they are to hold all their eggs in one basket, yes?" Remus stood from his chair slowly. A hand ran along his face and over his chin before turning back toward Thomas and the screen with a nod of his head. "Indeed. Foolish to create more in the first place. We need to find out where. I want this ship, Thomas. The stars, would be ours for the taking."

"The contacts we've made at the Star's End Spaceport should prove interesting, Sir." The Klingon Dorn commented over at Archimedes Remus. "Mr. Dorn, you have twenty minutes to scan the debris fields from what is left of the fleets that held battle here in orbit of the planet. Not a minute further as we have a meeting to make with my Number One, Mr. Dorn." Remus turned his head over toward a fellow Furyan, Cypris. The man ran a hand over his goatee as he nodded toward Remus. "Sir, I've found a suitable 'sister ship' for us. We should be able to acquire her with in the time frame before our next great adventure." Remus nodded slowly. "Make arrangements and a list of what you and the others require to get this, ship you speak of up and running. Time gentlemen, we've got to keep to the clock of time. Cypris, tell O.J. he is to help you in any means necessary and I don't care to hear of his grumbling. Get Thomas to help you as well." Dorn looked over from his post on the bridge toward Archimedes. "Have you decided which shall take command of the vessel once we have her under way, Sir?" Fingers interlocked as his brows furrowed some at the display screen. "Not as yet, Mr. Dorn. Though soon I shall indeed have to make a decision. Hurry your scans and when the time is up, we shall depart to pick up my First."

The stolen Zenobia made it's way to a higher orbit of Rhydin's larger moon. Masked by it's sheer size, the vessel and it's crew could put into motion the next steps in their Captain's plan.

The First Officer, a Klingon by the name of Dorn, was on the bridge after speaking with their Furyan Captain and leaving him with the 'delivery person' who brought the codes secretly. "How long till that ruby gives up the codes and specs' for that ship he wants?" Inquired Osyrus Johnson, or OJ as many called him for short. "The ruby was a good plan, for having the information hidden with in. You cannot just cut it open and take what?s buried inside upon micro tech. To be careful, it'll take roughly two to three hours." OJ grumbled as he ran a hand over his dark face. He was good with weapons, but the man had little ability for waiting.

"Why don't you head to the armory and assist Cypris with the weapon selection for the mission ahead of us?" Suggested Dorn with a look over at OJ as his leather clad arms crossed over his chest. "So what now?" Asked OJ. "Captain interrogating the delivery person that brought it to us" We all supposed to sit and wait while that ruby with the information is slowly worked into, to get those codes and the like?"

"Yes." Simply replied Dorn. "OJ, why don't you go spend some time with one of the green women" They are onboard, for our amusement and pleasure." OJ perked a brow as he ran a pair of fingertips over his mustache and goatee. "You trying to get rid of me or somethin' ?" Dorn gave a nod of his head. "Yes. At least off this bridge for a bit. You constant foot tapping with your nervous nature I find quite, annoying." OJ grumbled, cursed and then lifted his hands as he moved for the turbo lift. "Fine. I'm out. But don't nobody cuss me out because I ruined a few hot greenie's for you all." Stepping into the lift, the doors closed with him nodding his head, acting all cool and such.

"The only thing he'd ruin is their pleasure." Commented the large dark man by the name of Thomas. The sleeves to most of his shirts were torn off. Muscles far too big for any long sleeved shirt. His leather vest hugged him as if to accent how large of a man he was. A look over toward the Klingon Dorn. "Has Remus decided who will take command over this vessel, when we obtain the next prize he's set his sights on?"

"No." Replied Dorn, he had been considering OJ's words and finally, shook his head. That human was stuck up on his ego far too much of the time he felt. "Thomas, our Captain trusts few. Perhaps it is his natural way of things. Perhaps it is due to his race. Perhaps he's been on the wrong side of a deal one too many times. In any event, he will make his choice no doubt when we are closer or have completed our task."

"Can I kill, OJ?" Inquired Thomas with a smirk crossing his dark lips. Dorn looked over at the big man and smiled just a bit. "No, you can't. But no worry, there will be plenty for you to kill when we move forward with the taking of the other vessel."

Archimedes Remus slammed his fist downward into the conference room's table. Leaving a cracked surface as he gave a light shake of his head.

"So much planning, calculating and then to have it all gone in the blink of an eye. I wanted that ship, because it had so much to offer us. Destroyed before it could even leave the shipyards we were to steal her from! Cardassians in this sector are...annoying to say the least."

Dorn, a Klingon who had signed up with Remus since the first ship he had 'acquired' nodded in agreement as his arms crossed over his leather vest. "True, it was a great ship for the taking. They apparently wished it destroyed for they felt it's designers were creating simply another threat to them. Which is false. Remind me to break the neck of the next Cardassian we come across."

Carl, human by all accounts though his blood would say other wise, shifted back with in the chair he was sitting upon. "Over two years of planning, lost. We should lick our wounds and consider plan B."

Archimedes glanced over toward Carl, he'd been with him through a bounty of battles. Face to face, battles. Reaching over to tap a data padd and bring up a holo spec of another ship that was well known in certain systems as well as dimensions. "Plan B. A Battle Cruiser, though not as impressive as the ship we had planned and hoped for. A well armed vessel. Though with our current numbers, we will need to acquire more droids to aid with daily functions of this vessel. If it were possible, our current ship we've had for a bounty of battles about the stars would be repaired. However, damage as of late has gone beyond our capable hands of fixing. We would need a space dock and over a year of refits to bring her back to her once glory. We, do not have that type of time. At best, we can linger at a dock for a week, maybe just shy of two. Far too many would like to catch the crew of the Zenovia."

The large black man, who seemed to have bounding muscles everywhere about his upper body gave a nod of his clean shaven head toward the rest at the table. "Then it is agreed. We shift our plans to capture this other vessel. I'll start preparing the crew for combat."

"Sir, incoming transmission. It's the Perverse, her Captain wishes to speak to you before out of range." Archimedes Remus gave a turn of his gaze from an aft console he was reading of an inventory they had acquired recently. The tall man's gaze shifted over at his Klingon ally Dorn, before turning his gaze toward the man sitting at the helm upon the bridge. "On screen, let's not keep her waiting then shall we?"

A woman appeared on the forward view screen. As soon as her gaze found that of Archimedes, her smile spread wide upon her lips. Sitting half turned upon her Captain's chair, a red top with matching mini skirt and golden sash made up her chosen outfit. The handle of a dagger sticking out from the top of her left knee high leather boot.

"Captain Remus...A pleasure as always." Archimedes couldn't help but allow the smile to play through at his lips with a light nod of his head toward the screen, long locks of gray drifting partly over his right eye though he made no movement of the locks of hair, as yet. "Ah, Captain Catherine Roberts. The pleasure is of course, all mine my dear." Catherine, or Cat as she often went by, could not help the slight perk of crimson to her cheeks. "Flattery, will get you 'everywhere' Captain Remus. Though, I believe you already know this." It was Remus turn to play the grin to his lips with another gentle nod toward the view screen. "Indeed my dear, indeed. To what do I owe the pleasure of your contacting me ?"

It had been barely a year, since Archimedes had aided Cat in 'acquiring' a ship from a mothballed shipyard. With upgrades, her vessel was on par with more then the average vessels that could pose a threat.

"I wished to formally say I will be joining you at the meeting point for your son's wedding, Archimedes. I've picked out a nice assortment of items for the bridge and of course a savory weapon or two for the pair." Archimedes lifted a hand to place at the opening of his vest and over his heart. "I am most grateful my dear, to hear you are coming to the party. I will let them know. I know my soon to be step-daughter finds you always to be able to liven up the gatherings. I believe they are having a bounty of seafood and steaks to be served to the guests. I myself, could use something to sink my teeth into." Cat couldn't help the slow grin perking along her lips as she shifted a bit in her Captain's chair onboard her own ship. "Mmm...yes, well, no doubt we can find you something to nibble, Captain. I heard Captain Pots is supplying the drinks" Did you threaten to hunt him down and disable his ship again, Archimedes?" Archimedes smirked some, but gave a light shake of his head as his hands lifted into the air to give a sign of innocence. "No, not this time at least. He owed me for several upgrades to his vessel a month ago I acquired for him." Cat laughed gently and gave a light shake of her head, the long blonde locks of her hair remaining in the tied up bun at the back of her head however. "Doesn't thirty or so, about these systems owe you Captain?" "Yes, they do." Came the more emotionless comment from Archimedes' first officer, the Klingon Dorn. Cat couldn't help the smile rising to her lips as she nodded at her view screen into Dorn's direction.

"Mr. Dorn, we need to find you a girlfriend. Never know, maybe you'll meet someone at this party?" Dorn crossed his arms over his chest, making the dark sleeves of his shirt strain against the muscle below. "I am quite fine, thank you, Captain Roberts." Catherine just smiled nodding back toward Remus via her view screen onboard her ship. "I ran into Captain Toshi last week. He's really not fond of you, Archimedes." "True, no doubt the scar running the right side of his face is to blame. What can I say' I like weapons and knives especially." "Yes, well, I've lost a few nice outfits to those blades of yours, Archimedes." Archimedes smiled and gave a light shrug of his broad shoulders. "I do not recall....you complaining, Cat."

Her smile spoke more then words could, or should in the moment and she just nodded back. "In any account, keep an eye out for him. I gathered some scans two weeks ago of several ships from Dimension 72 showing up two sectors away from here. Do be careful, Archimedes. You certainly gave them reason to hate you." "My dear, I merely suggested that they should not impose their laws at Alpha Gamma III. I might have severely damaged three of their ships, but they were being rather rude."

"Yes, well, all the same try to be somewhat careful. I spoke with Captain Belafoni yesterday. He's bringing the good stuff to the party he said. So it would seem drinks are on him." Archimedes smiled gently and gave a light tilt of his head. "John, can always be counted on to help keep the drinks flowing at parties. Even if he is the one spending his money. I think he's still trying to pay me back for helping him 'acquire' his ship from the Deckland Shipyards. Such a waste, all those ships just sitting in space. Held in place by tractor beams and collecting dust onboard. So much the better to be sprung free and given new life."

"Will your son Christian be there by chance" Or Kathryn?" Archimedes gave a deeper smile toward the image of Cat upon the view screen. Indeed he loved the grown children he'd had seemingly so long ago. All grown up and making lives for themselves. "Kathryn said she was going to be there, but Christian might be a bit late. His crew is finishing up some new upgrades to his vessel." Cat gave a light nod onboard her ship, shifting her knee high leather boots in crossing over the side of her chair. "No doubt looking for that special gift to give his brother and wife on their wedding day. Though I have a feeling, Archimedes, no matter what anyone gets the new couple...your gift will out do them all." Archimedes lips shifted into a slow grin at that. "I am, the father of the groom and soon to have a step-daughter. What man would I be if I did not give the perfect gift for the pair?" Cat laughed gently and shook her head. "It simply would not be you, Archimedes. All that toughness and yet it hides when about your children. Grown as they are." Archimedes gave a light chuckle with a nodding shift of his head. "It is merely awaiting in the shadows my dear. Ready to step clear and strike in the blink of an eye." Cat smiled deeply to this. "And that, my dear Captain Remus, is why I adore you. I know you have fans about the systems, but do me a favor" Save a dance for me?" Archimedes nodded gently and let the smile perking to his lips bloom. "I shall save the slowest of dances, for you my dear Catherine."

Cat held her smile, it was hard not to when she spoke with Archimedes. Even if it wasn't in person. "I'll hold you to that, Archimedes. I'm off to purchase some crystals and then I'll head to the party. Be safe my dear Captain." Archimedes gave a light bow of his head as he smiled to the view screen. "Of course, fair lady. May the road rise up to meet you and the wind always be at your back."

Station DS - 19, or as it's come to be known by, The Frontier.

An old station once out of the trade routes in space, left to rot away. That is until several independent groups worked together to bring the station back to life. That was a little over ten years ago. The station now holds a home away from home for those traveling the stars. Quarters, shops, restaurants, holodecks and vendors wishing to sell their latest items. Just don't always inquire as to where their items came from.

Many factions, pirates, mercenaries and those with lone ships find themselves at The Frontier. Be it repairs for their ships or supplies. And of course, a good place to hold a party.

Archimedes Remus moved with several of his crew through the sliding doorway into the large room in reserve for the after wedding, reception. No sooner had Archimedes entered and Retired General Koloth, now the Governor of the reborn station, laughed and lifted a hand to rub at his beard of dark brown with gray specks.

"Captain Archimedes Remus. Now you are a sight for these old eyes indeed. I must say, the ceremony was beautiful for your son and daughter in law." Archimedes slid out a hand to give a firm grasp of the Klingon's, to which Koloth only grinned as their grip seemed to last a couple minutes. Finally releasing his grip from Archimedes, Koloth smiled bright. "Still the toughest in this part of the galaxy, Archimedes" I might have to change up my morning routine for better exercise before you return here again." Archimedes gave a wide smile to his old Klingon friend and a light nod of his head. "Perhaps, General. Though as always I am humbled that you opened up your station here for my son's wedding. I am, most honored." Placing a hand at his chest and giving a slow nodding of his head toward Koloth. "Retired General and how could I say no to the an old friend" Besides, I'm still waiting for you to finally settle down with one woman."

"Not likely." Spoke Archimedes second officer, the Klingon Dorn. Koloth chuckled and ran a hand over his red leather jacket. "Ah, Mr. Dorn. Always good to see of you. I know a certain someone, that would be interested to see you." Dorn held back the smile that wanted to perk to his lips and simply nodded of his head toward the other Klingon. "Perhaps after a little time here at the party, Governor." Dorn gave a nod of his head toward Koloth again and then toward Archimedes before moving off to find some food. The spread of dinner was supposed to be a buffet of all sorts of meats and treats.

"Where is Desdin" Inquired Archimedes toward Koloth, as Koloth was snatching up a fresh pair of goblets from a passing serving droid. Offering one of the goblet's to Archimdes. The darker blue liquid with in the goblet did perk Archimedes lips to a smile. Romulan Ale.

"Oh you know Desdin Pots. If he smells the chance to make money, he's off in that ship of his at warp eight or nine. He of course ensured the items for the reception here were set up before leaving. If you'll excuse me, I need to make the rounds to the guests gathered." A grin from Koloth and he was off to meet and greet. The once deadly Klingon General seemed to be enjoying his new role in charge of the station. Happier.

Archimedes turned his gaze over those gathered. Some he didn't know and figured friends of his son or new step daughter. Several he knew were sitting at tables or the buffet tables. There was Captain John Belafonti. An actual honest business man, though in truth, he was a Pirate. The signature twin phaser pistols at either side of his hips, made him easy to spot. The lovely Captain Anna Coval, space pirate and smuggler. Her shoulder length red curly hair made her easy to spot as well. The Andorian Captain Terra Vocil was there with some of her crew. Hard not to spot the light blue, skinned woman in red. When she and her crew were thrust into this galaxy from a dimensional wormhole, it was Archimedes that had a moment of pitty on the new Captain in a strange universe. He'd lost count over the past five years, on how many times he'd aided her and her crew. Of course, he had aided her in 'other' ways as well.

There was something to be said about a strong Furyan Male in this part of the unique galaxy.

"Mmm...Captain Archimedes Remus...." Archimedes turned on the heel of his boot to face the familiar voice coming up behind him. "Ah, the lovely Captain Catherine Roberts. I see your ship made it to the station for the party." Her smile was devious and quite happy in it's spread across her lips. "Yes, I did say you had to keep a dance or two for me." Not waiting for an invitation, Catherine or Cat, stepped in closer to wrap her arms around Archimedes for one of his warm hugs. Never being one to disappoint, Archimedes smiled and returned the hug with his arms about her waist. "It is always good to see you, Archimedes." He gave a light nod of his head and took a step back to look her over. "You are always a beautiful sight to behold, Catherine. I will indeed keep my arms at the ready, for that dance."

A voice spoke up at one end of the large room and those gathered quieted down to peer over at the wedding couple.

"Hi...my name is Jason Remus, as many of you have come to know me." Those gathered couldn't help the happy occasion and many returned the hello in jest. "Hello Jason!" Jason smirked and laughed gently as his new bride in turn laughed softly behind a hand. "Thank you....ahem...I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone that came to witness this amazing night for me and my new wife Alicia. Governor Koloth, thank you for the kind gifts and the gift of this room for our gathering. Oh and thank you for marrying us!" A cheer was had through the room, the aging Klingon General / Governor was popular in this part of space since he took over as lead for the station. Always seeing to ships that docked had supplies, repairs or a good time onboard the station. "Alicia and I would like to thank all the Captains and Commanders and other officers here tonight and their amazing gifts they've given us." Alicia put a hand on Jason's arm and with a smile to him, spoke up as her long locks of brown hair remained bound to the braid going down the back of her white dress. "And I would like to personally thank Captain Roberts for her gifts. I'm sure the lingerie and cuffs will be put to good use." The crowd laughed as several gathered looked to spot Catherine Roberts, to which she had no shame and held her hands up and gave a grin. "A happy couple is a good couple, you two!"

This only caused further laughter in the crowd. Alicia then spotted Archimedes and her smile softened some. "I would like to also thank, Archimedes Remus." The crowd's gaze moved to spot the Furyan man among those gathered. "I've never known, except for that of my new husband, a more rougher and tougher man among the stars. And I've also...never known a man to welcome me into his family as he has. Mr. Remus I thank you for allowing me the privilege to be your son's wife. I look forward to the days and nights ahead with him as my husband. And if I might say, I am honored to have you as my step-father."

Her smile drew gentle as Jason took her hand in his own to lift to his lips. Archimedes gave a soft nod of his head toward the front of the room at his son and daughter in law. His smile, would rival any in the room. "It is I, who is honored to have you as my 'daughter' Alicia. My son, has made a great choice in his wife. I travel far and wide among the stars, but please save this old man a spot at your table." Alicia's smile, if possible, perked even brighter as did Jason's. "Mr. Remus....there will always be a spot at our table for you." Jason smirked some then and added. "With plenty of Romulan Ale, dad."

The crowd burst into a light bit of laughter. After all, it was one of the best drinks found in the galaxy here.

Archimedes nodded gently with his head. "I remember Jason as a young boy. This one time he..."

The station rocked slightly and everyone gave pause to look about them. Archimedes shifted his gaze about and his eyes lids lowered some over the special brown contacts he wore over his true eyes. Another rock of the station, this time harder. The station's security officer, a Mandalorian Commander, Sophia's voice came over the communication system.

"Attention all onboard Frontier....the station is under attack. I repeat, the station is under attack! Security teams report to designated areas. Medical teams spread out and help any needing medical aid..." The station rocked hard by an impact of something outside. Archimedes grabbed Cat's arm to stop her from falling to the flooring as pieces of supports broke from the ceiling to fall upon several of the gathered guests.

Many moved to exit the large room and head back to their ships to pull away from the station, while others helped those hit by falling beams. "Archimedes!" Dorn's shout was clear across the room. When his Klingon friend called in such a way, Archimedes got to him quick. Finding Dorn trying to move a support beam from someone it had landed upon. "Jason!" Alicia's scream was piercing and it only took a split second for Archimedes to realize, his son was under the fallen beam. "Dorn, grab the right side, I'll get the left!" Both men gripped the beam, pulling upwards as the Governor Koloth rushed over to grab another spot on the beam. "Lift!" Shouted Koloth with a defined Klingon growl at his lips. Slowly, the heavy structure lifted upwards off of Jason. Alicia and Cat moved to grab Jason and pull him out from under the beam before the three men would release of it to the ground in a loud thud.

"He's got broken bones and he's bleeding from somewhere at his chest besides his head." Spoke Catherine/Cat as Alicia was already tearing strips from her white dress, to apply to Jason's forehead and the gash there. Koloth grabbed up his communicator from his leather belt. "Commander! Return fire to whoever dares attack this station!" "Already returning fire, Governor." Came the voice over the communicator a minute later. "Sir, ships have been identified. It's The Empire from Dimension 132. I've engaged shielding to several of the internal sections of the station but I am unable to engage the main shields about the station as a whole. Too many ships docked along the outer ring."

"Those fools from Dimension 132! How dare they attack this supply station! When I get my hands on their throats...I'm going to break their pathetic necks!" Koloth, to say the least, was quite angry now. Having offered them peaceful aid in repair and supplies in the past. The Frontier, was supposed to be a station with no violence and for all to dock at.

Archimedes Remus, growled lowly from his lips as the station shook with another hit by possibly torpedoes.

Many of the guests and those just onboard Frontier Station, rushed to their ships. Some wishing to simply flee the attack on the station while others moved to engage the Constitution Class Empire ships of the humans from Dimension 132.

As Archimedes made it to the bridge of his ship, the docking clamps disengaged and the ship backed off quick while taking several phaser hits from a passing Empire cruiser. "Damage report!" The big dark man with the shaven head, Thomas, and arms that seemed big as a tree was anything but happy on the bridge. "Sir, we've taken eight direct hits as have many of the ships docked here. The relays for splitting out ship into multiple attack vessels is not responding." Archimedes grabbed the back of his Captain's chair with a firm grip as the ship was rocked by another hit. "Do we have weapons?" "Yes Sir!" Shouted the more lighter skinned man with the tattoos, Cypris. And was he grinning" He truly did enjoy a fight.

"Open fire on any vessel from Dimension 132! Phasers...torpedoes...fire!"

Archimedes ship, The Zenobia, let loose a volley of torpedoes at two incoming Empire ships. Another spread of torpedoes from Captain Robert's ship impacted the enemy vessel on it's port side, causing multiple explosions to tear the saucer section in half. "Cat here....let's show them it was a bad idea to mess with a perfectly good party! And my dance!" Her ship, a refitted Excelsior Class vessel stolen from a mothballed shipyard, moved to protect Archimedes ship at his port side. Both vessels cast phaser fire and worked to target enemy ships together, thus bringing heavier fire power in their attack.

"I've got the two on the left!" Came the voice of Captain Belafonti, while a a medic was trying to tend to the open wound at his side. Belafonti's modified Abbe Class, stolen from a shipyard as any respecting pirate would do, let loose a spread of four torpedoes from the forward launchers. Then another launch of four more to impact both ships from the back. One started to spin to starboard as phaser cannons impacted the ships suddenly with the decloaking of two Defiant Class, yes....stolen from shipyards, vessels.

"Better late then never!" Came the voice over the communication system of Christian Remus. "I've got the ship moving over the station's upper structure!" Came the voice of Kathryn Remus, before her vessel's phaser cannons pounded the Empire vessel before explosions tore her engineering section in two. Both of Archimedes late arriving children, proceeded to coordinate their attacks to the enemy vessels. Thus making their damage even more effective.

Captain Terra Vocil moved her ship into the mix to protect the station, her and her crew had grown to love. Phasers and Photon Torpedoes firing at enemy ships trying to attack the station still. Three direct hits to her port nacelle caused power failure to several mid decks of her ship. Captain Anna Coval's ship, another stolen vessel, engaged an enemy ship with phasers before firing a pair of photon torpedoes into the attacker's saucer section from below. Her ship's dorsal nacelle taking a direct hit as shields failed and the nacelle is nearly torn off by the internal explosions. Two pirate ships moved to grasp Captain Vocil's ship with their tractor beams and pull her ship away from the fight.

Two Klingon B'Rel Class ships exited warp and wasted no time opening fire with their disruptors upon the attacking enemy. Klingon Captain Kruger growled and shook his head onboard his ship. "Cowards! They attack a peaceful station for supply and repair! And the ships in dock! Lock onto the nearest Empire ship and fire torpedoes!" The experienced Captain ushered his ship about the fighting, moving quick firing in attacking runs the enemy vessels. Not giving pause in motion so as not to offer a sitting target. The second B'Rel class ship darted past a heavily damaged pirate vessel that had not been able to get away from the station before being struck by three Empire ships. Delnora perked a smile onboard her ship. Quite possibly, one of the more attractive Klingon females in the galaxy she didn't give pause as her vessel found an already weaken enemy ship. A single torpedo cast into the saucer section and internal explosions tore it apart. "Locate Archimedes ship!" "His vessel has taken heavy damage...but he is still in the fight." Came the reply of her tactical officer. Delnora couldn't help but smile at that. A Warrior to the core, that was Archimedes. He would never give up a fight. "Take us near to help cover his ship!"

Christian and Kathryn Remus engaged another pair of Empire cruisers. The enemy ships fell quickly to the coordinated attack of phaser cannons and photon torpedoes. "Kathryn, another three ships at your eight o'clock. Cut to your port low and I'll take the leader." "I've got the second ship!" Claimed Kathryn as she actually smiled onboard her ship. Indeed, they were children of Archimedes. No fear and no issue with killing the enemy.

Six Empire ships from Dimension 132 broke off their attack and came about to head away from the fighting. Each leapt into warp as they made their exit of the system. Debris from enemy vessels and that of friendly, drifted in the void of space. Damaged ships limped to find a docking port still intact.

Captain Catherine Robert's crew was busy putting out fires onboard while she watched her view screen. "Others"!"!?" "Captain, remaining enemy ships have entered warp. Ma'am several ships are moving to dock back with the station. Given the damage we've taken, I think we should do the same." "Where is Archimedes ship?" "Ma'am, she's lost power and is drifting." "Then set your course and prepare to engage tractor beam!"

The heavily damaged Empire ships, unable to go to warp to escape, were picked off one by one by Christian and Kathryn's ships. Captain Belafonti, his ship taking it's fair share of damage, had locked a tractor beam onto Captain Anna Coval's ship. Slowly towing her back for an open and working docking port at the station.

Dorn and Thomas lifted fallen support structures off of Archimedes chest. A rib was poking out of the blood ridden flesh. "Get a medical kit!" "Dorn! Captain Robert's ship is moving to aid us with a tow to the station." "Understood! Secure the bridge of fires and try to get in contact with engineering and other sections of the ship!" Archimedes, growled out as Dorn applied pressure to an open wound and in turn Dorn smiled down at him as he took a knee. "Good, pain means you're still alive."

"They've....not gotten...ride of me...yet....."

The medical bay onboard Frontier Station was overflowing. Sections outside were set up with tables and blankets to set wounded people for medics and doctors to help. Thankfully, the station had invested in hiring six months ago that of four full time doctors. Of course, they hadn't seen this much devastation and injury before at the station.

Christian and Kathryn had docked to the station and were currently checking upon their father, Archimedes. Kathryn had sought out Alicia and found her brother Jason to be in bad shape. "He's a Remus, Alicia. He'll make it. He's just as stubborn to die like the rest of us." She tried to offer a smile to Alicia, who in turn did her best to smile back as she watched a doctor and medic work on her new husband. "I know. You're right...he'll pull through. He's tough like his father." Kathryn shifted her gaze over toward a table that had been set up for Archimedes. Christian was gripping his father's hand as Archimedes growled in pain while a doctor worked to aid his open wounds and the ribs. "Are they gone?" Growled Archimedes. Christian nodded down at his father upon the table with an offered smile. "Yes, Father. The last few cowards entered warp, the rest are dead and their ships litter the blackness of space. You and your ship fought like the true men you are." Archimedes pressed his head back into the table as they worked on a deep laceration to his right side. "Jason....how...is Jason?" Christian glanced over toward where Kathryn was standing with Alicia by the men and women working on Jason's wounds. "He'll make it father. He's stubborn like us. He'd not dare die on his wedding night."

Archimedes other hand gripped the table, before the felt the firm grip of Dorn taking it in his own. "Captain, many lives have been lost this day. Those of 132 are cowards yet again. Captain Roberts used her ship to tractor us into dock. I'm afraid the ship is heavily damaged sir. I do not know, if we can repair her from such as the hits she's taken this time." Archimedes groaned as a rib was set back to place and being 'fixed' by medical staff. "Dorn...inspect a search of known shipyards we've plundered before. We need a new vessel...." "There's a few ships, that you might be interested in father. I crossed them a while back, heading for Star's End Spaceport on the planet Rhydin. If they are in orbit, with the bulk of their crews down on the spaceport, it is possible to acquire one with minimal trouble." Dorn nodded to this. "The ships would already be good to go and we would not have to waste time with upgrades and refits, with a ship in a mothballed shipyard."

"Sounds like you need a new ship, Captain." Came Catherine Robert's voice as she smiled some downward at Archimedes, as her knee high boots carried her over. "My ship needs repairs. I'll stay here with my crew during such time and help to keep an eye on the station and both your son and daughter in law." Christian nodded toward Catherine. She might of been one of his father's former lovers, but he held a respect for the woman as she could be counted on. "Myself and my sister will find out if the ships are indeed in orbit of planet Rhydin." Catherine glanced between them all and gave a nod of her head. "I'll get a hold of Pots and some other smugglers that might know where to catch our attackers. It'll be their turn to shed blood."

Captain Catherine Roberts sat at a table in her rented quarters onboard the Frontier station. Medical and repair crews were still working with out pause on multiple decks. As repairs to the ships in dock.

A woman with shoulder length brown hair appeared on the communication screen before her. "Captain Hildon. I wish this was under better circumstances." Captain Linda Hildon nodded a bit on her end of the communication screen. "No, of course. How is the station?" "The station is slowly being repaired. Several sections are still too damaged to open up and the ships in dock aren't much for the better. Linda, Archimedes and his newly wed' son, Jason, are beat up pretty bad." Linda's face grew sad, it was Archimedes that had helped her obtain her own ship seemingly so long ago. "Jason was always good at cards. Beat me every time. How is his new wife?" Cat tried to smile some. "At his side and ever the watchful woman. She's lost in love and refuses to leave for longer then a few minutes while he recovers in the medical bay. Linda, I am looking for information in regards to The Empire from Dimension 132." Linda nodded and adjusted slightly the leather jacket worn as she sat in the ready room, onboard her own ship a few light years away.

"They have three star bases I know of and can give you the coordinates. One of them is just outside the Rhydin Sector and another is with in an asteroid belt. They think it's hidden, but I have the location from a fellow smuggler. I'll see to it the locations are encrypted and transmitted to you with in the hour. I'm heading actually near where the third star base is of theirs. I can give you the exact coordinates once in range to run long range scans. Cat' Do me a favor and give Archimedes and his Son a squeeze of the hand for me. And give that new bride of Jason's a hug for me too. Poor girl shouldn't have to start in marriage like this."

Upon another room onboard the station was that of Captain John Belafonti. Looking at the Nausicaan male on his screen. "It's bad, Tarik. They hit Frontier station with no warning." Captain Tarik actually spit on his end of the communication at the flooring of his bridge. "Cowards. I hate cowards! I'll take my ship to see if I can't find out where their resupply stations are. You tell Archimedes, when he is better, we shall go together to attack their supply lines and litter the void of space with the cowards bodies."

Captain Terra Vocil was onboard her ship while it was docked to Frontier station. There was enough being done on the station that she felt she didn't need to clutter things up with herself and crew there. Though she did dispatch three medical teams to help onboard the station with wounded. Her communication screen in her quarters suddenly lit up and she reached a blue fingertip over to activate the screen. A Cardassian woman appeared upon the screen. Gilora Reborjin gave a tilt of her head to the communication screen at Terra. "Put our differences aside, Gilora. No doubt by now you've heard of the attack at Frontier. Archimedes and his son are out of surgery. Archimedes is doing slightly better than his son." Gilora tilted her head to the left slightly in regard of the Andorian woman on the other end of her screen. "Fine, but he loved me more." Terra gave a sigh and shook her head. "Damn it Gilora, this isn't the time for who was better in bed with Archimedes! His son Christian asked me to contact you in hopes of your help." Gilora looked away from her screen a moment. Lips pushed together before giving a sigh and looking back at the screen. "Fine. For Archimedes." Terra gave a nod of her blue face at her screen. "Yes, for Archimedes." "What is it you need, Terra?" Inquired Gilora. Terra smiled a bit back through the screen at Gilora. "Information. Many of us that were docked here for Jason's wedding were hit hard. Damaged ships and loss of life. Many of us are looking for payback. You are welcome to the fight, but first we need to find out where their shipyards are. I know you still have some ties to the Cardassian Order. The Order has worked with The Empire of 132 in the past." Gilora was seen on her end lifting a glass filled with an orange colored drink, giving pause. "All right. I'll contact Captain Beltorin. She might know of a safe spot for ships to gather, for this payback. Can't have you all gathering on main travel routes in space now can we" And she hasn't slept with Archimedes." Terra grumbled at the view screen and shook her head. "Damn you Gilora. Always were a stubborn tarkgen mule."

Captain Catherine Roberts had finished four call outs for help. The next person, she at times was at odds with however. As the view screen lit up, the image of a green skinned Orion appeared. "Eldara. Nice to see you." Through gritted teeth Cat tried to smile her words. The green skinned woman flicked her long curls of black hair over a green shoulder. "Ah, to what do I owe the pleasure....Cat." "Listen, I know you've heard about Frontier station's recent attack. You're the Pirate Princess of a network of smugglers and pirates. I need your help." Eldara gave a sigh of breath and perk a slender dark brow. "Very well, Cat. For Archimedes, I will help in any way I am able. What do you need?" Cat nodded to her screen and tapped at the console to her side. A transmission was sent encrypted to Eldara's ship. Upon decoding it, Eldara's dark brow held in arch. "That's some list." "Yes." Replied Cat with a slight bow of her head at the screen. "If it wasn't for Archimedes, you would still be a slave and you'd not have the ships you do for your little fleet. His son Jason was wounded pretty bad, Eldara. That new wife of his can't leave his side. She loves him, deeply. You and I both know what it's like to lose out on love." Eldara glanced away from the screen a moment. Thoughtful for a minute or two. Speaking quieter with out looking back at the screen. "Yes, I know of heartache. I do realize that we share that in common. Both former lovers of the famous Furyan that is Archimedes Remus." She gave a light shake of her head, but smiled some. "Who'd of thought a Furyan arriving over twenty years ago into this unique part of the galaxy, would stir so many hearts as ours?" Cat couldn't help the smile that pushed at her lips. "He still loves us both, Eldara. Even if he can't be with us all the time. I try to console myself with that when out deep in space upon my ship. Isn't it better to have him sometimes, then not at all?" Eldara turned her gaze back to her screen and managed to smile through to Cat where she was. "You are right, Cat. Do you ever find yourself not thinking of the next time, he'd show up?" Cat gave a light shake of her head. "No, I don't think I do to be honest, Eldara." Eldara smirked some with a perk of her dark lips. "Heh, damn Furyan and his lovers." Trying to make light of things. Cat smiled right back and gave a wink to her screen. "No doubt, we are the best of them all, Eldara." Eldara's lips spread to a grin as she nodded back at her own screen to Cat. "Girls gotta stick together. I'll have my spies and crews get to work acquiring the items on the list. Give me a few days."

Captain Kimberly Remus, tapped the screen in the ready room onboard her refitted Excelsior Class vessel. The smuggler Desdin Pots appeared on her screen. "Ah! Captain Kimberly Remus! A pleasure always! To what do I owe this long distance transmission from such a lovely Trill?"

Kimberly's dark blonde locks of hair were done up in braids and set to the back of her head with two small clips, her gaze narrowed at the screen. "I know you've already been contacted, Pots. So I know you know what has happened. I found out just a couple hours ago. I need information on which Nebula holds a hidden Empire shipyard with in it." Pots shifted his legs a bit nervously onboard his ship and ran his fingers together in a light twiddling. "Yes, well, it is quite sad what happened to Frontier station. Though I don't have any idea of some shipyard hidden in a Nebula." He tried to laugh and made a shrug of his shoulders in turn.

"Pots, if case you forgot let me remind you. I am half Trill and half Furyan. Now, the Trill side of me feels we can come to an understanding. However, my father's Furyan side in me is becoming....upset." Pots shrugged again into his view screen. "Wish I could help you. Truly I do! But.."

"Pots....my ship his stronger then yours. If I have to hunt you down the only thing left of your ship will be a single escape pod that you'll be a drift in." Pots lifted a hand to rub two fingers at his curling mustache by his cheek. "Um...heh....yeah....oh....ohhhhh! Dimension 132 hidden shipyard" Oh.....well, yes I do know of one come to think of it. Heh, silly me." Kimberly gave a slow nod of her head at the screen in her ready room. "Yes, silly you." Pots cleared his throat and sat up straighter in his chair. "Well, I don't know the exact coordinates....but! I can get them to you in a day or two. I'm meeting with a Cardassian ship to deliver some supplies, for a modest fee. I'm sure while delivering the items they need, one or two of my androids could see about hacking into their database. Cardassians do business at times with those of Dimension 132. I guess scum stick together, hm?" Kimberly nodded at her screen with a slight smirk to her lips. "Indeed, it 'does' seem that way, Pots." Pots furrowed his brows and ran a hand back over the partly balding front part of his head. "Ahem...yes, well...I'll contact you once I've found which Nebula it is. You know of course, shielding doesn't always work in the thick Nebulas. If you're planning to strike back for your father, you best becareful my dear." "Worry about obtaining that information, Pots. I'll worry about where things go from there. And thank you for offering to help for no, fee."

Pots blinked and frowned some. "Um....no...no....no, fee" As in...free?" Kimberly perked a smile across her lips and gave a light nod of her head at her view screen. Pots swallowed hard and sighed deeply, slouching in his chair. "I hope Archimedes remembers this favor." Kimberly tried not to laugh as she gave another nod of her head. "Thanks, Pots. I knew I could count on you. I look forward to your transmission."

Captain TelShar, was a ruthless Bajorian man with the money desire of a Ferengi. He'd even sacrificed crew members of his to make a profit and or to get away from a bad situation. A mercenary for hire, recently he'd acquired a new ship. A Cardassian Galor Class Cruiser to use in his travel of information smuggling, among other things and or people. Though the cruiser was officially on 'loan' to TelShar, he considered it simply his. Part of the deal had been that he could fill the ship with his choice of crew members. The Cardassians weren't too happy with that condition, however they had obtained a bounty of information and other things from the Bajorian man in the past and in the end agreed.

A Constitution Class Refit of Dimension 132 came out of warp, roughly five thousand meters off TelShar's starboard side. The screen onboard his bridge lit up with the image of a man wearing a dark gray officer's uniform. Captain Timothy Dalton, never call him Timothy, looked at Captain TelShar via the view screen onboard his ship.

"Ah, Captain Dalton. I trust the information I passed along was helpful in removing some troubles?" Dalton's expression was blank. More so, stone cold in his gaze. A man of little caring and some said he never showed much emtion, even when his brother died. "The information we paid for, did help, yes. The Frontier was hit hard, as were that of the ships docked to the station. Captain Stockton, Captain Trip and Admiral Granger were pleased with the strike. Though no doubt, our ships won't be welcome anywhere near that station in the future. Thankfully the people you put us in touch with for constructing star bases and ship yards are working out, TelShar. If I recall correctly, you weren't exactly welcome at Frontier station."

TelShar smiled and gave a nod of his head to his view screen. "I guess hearing of the attack, quite possibly might of made me smile some. No love lost there, Captain Dalton." Dalton nodded a bit on his bridge. "I need you to put me in touch with Captain Toshi and Captain Ares." TelShar perked a brow over his left eye as he idly fidgeted with the Bajorian ear piece at his right ear. "Now why would you desire to speak to the likes of those two' Quite the killers they are, Captain Dalton. Are you going on a hunt?"

Dalton narrowed his eyes briefly. "Now that's really none of your business, is it, TelShar" Can you put me in touch with them, or not' Money's on the table, but nothing until I speak with them." Money' TelShar grinned slowly onboard his ship's bridge. "Yes, well, money does make the galaxy go round. I'll see if I can't locate and inform them that you wish to meet with them." Dalton gave a nod of his head to the view screen onboard his own bridge. "Good. I'll send you the coordinates where they can meet me. Tell them money and photon torpedoes are in their future for payment. Not a lot of stations and ports welcome them either." TelShar nodded as he found it hard to wipe the grin from his lips. "Indeed. I'll seek them out. Until next time, Captain." A slow nod from TelShar and the screen went blank, as his ship moved off in turn before entering warp.

Dalton motioned to his communications officer, who switched communication channels to a secure frequency. "Captain Trip?" Dalton's view screen lit up with the image of a fellow officer from Dimension 132 and their Empire. Captain William Trip had the face only a mother could love, maybe. Plasma burns to the right side of his face left deep scars in the flesh and the loss of his right eye. The injuries acquired from a former engagement with Archimedes.

"Captain Trip, it's done. He'll locate our hunters and I'll deliver their job and half payment to them when meet up with the two Captains." Trip lightly ran a fingertip along a healing, but still badly burned bit of facial tissue at his right cheek. "I don't trust that Bajorian. How do we know he doesn't turn around and sell some information to someone else?" Dalton nodded to Trip's concern. "He's a scoundrel, that is true. Though I don't believe he's dumb enough to try something like that. Remember, many at that station didn't care for him. If Archimedes Remus is still alive, he won't be for long."

Hanging near a medium class asteroid field, was that of the Shangri La. A modified K Class vessel, formerly an explorer class ship. That is before it was stolen from a shipyard of mothballed vessels held in place by tractor beams.

Captain Nathan Reynolds, couldn't help the grin that pushed at his lips. Though he didn't know the conversations just had, he did know that TelShar's ship had met with an Empire ship. The markings from ship to ship battles upon TelShar's vessel that had been scanned, confirmed the vessel's captain.

Captain Reynolds glanced aside to a droid on his bridge. "Well, looks like TelShar has been making some interesting friends. What do you say, we pass that along to some people that will appreciate such information?"

A Constitution Class Refit Cruiser, the Balao, from Dimension 132 lingered near the Penjari Moon.

Perhaps making them unique, Vulcans from Dimension 132 actually continued to embrace their emotions and thought of them as a gift and not a curse against logic.

"Captain Slovac, we've been here over eight hours. If we remain too long, Admiral Granger will get suspicious." The gray haired Captain Slovac ran a few fingers over his mustache and goatee, before giving a shake of his head lightly. "Lieutenant, we will wait for the Cavalla and Captain Torres to show up." "Captain, Constitution Class exiting warp, it's the Cutlass, Sir."

Captain Slovac perked a brow and turned his gaze toward the forward screen upon the bridge. "Open a channel to my daughter, lieutenant." A slender woman with long light brown hair appeared on the screen, sitting half cocked to the side in her command chair. "Father, I have news." Captain Slovoc nodded toward the screen with a curious brow still in arch. "It is good to see you Valeris, but I was expecting Captain Torres to meet with us at these coordinates." Captain Valeris shifted some in her chair. "She won't be making your meeting. Her ship has diverted to another sector to meet with some of our allies. Admiral Granger sent a task force to attack Frontier Station. Reports gathered thus' far seem to show ships and the station itself took heavy damage. The loss of life alone, will keep any Empire labeled ship from getting remotely close to the station in the future now." Captain Slovac gave a shake of his head as he lifted a hand to push of his fingertips back through his hair. "Last I heard, that operation was tossed back upon a table and was not going to be done. The repercussions of such actions will label every Empire constructed vessel as trouble and open for attack by most in this and other sectors." Captain Valeris shifted her lips slightly in thought. "Father, this means our plans may have to be moved up. Before we ourselves are caught by a friend or ally of someone that lost their life at Frontier Station." Captain Slovac watched of his daughter on the view screen for a moment before slowly nodding his head. "You're right, Valeris. I was hoping we could wait another few months, but this turn of events will make us in need of true allies and to let it known we are not of the same mind as many in the Empire. Do you know the whereabouts of Captain Remus?"

Captain Valeris averted her gaze from the view screen a moment before nodding slowly. "Reports say, his ship was seen taking heavy damage. He was at the station with others attending his son's wedding. The two spies set to Frontier station have been caught or killed since the attack. No information is coming from the station, so I do not know if he is alive or not." Captain Slovac smiled slightly. "Captain Remus is one tough man. Whatever galaxy or dimension he came from, must of been a rough place. I don't think even death could keep him from coming back for more." Captain Valeris did perk a light smile upon her red colored lips. "You met him, how would you define him?" Captain Slovac's brow arched again. "I'd define him as a man that is rough, tough and does things his own way. He is not one for standing there and taking someone's negative words lightly. The last meeting I had with him in secret, he knocked down three Klingons. All by himself."

Captain Valeris couldn't help the smile that spread further at her lips. "Hm, I see. He sounds like, quite the man."

"I'm glad you think so, Valeris, because we are going to help him. I will send a coded transmission to our mutual contact. He will let Archimedes know I wish to speak with him. After recent events? I have no doubt he would be willing to work with us. We will finally be able to defect from The Empire."

Captain Reynolds ship exited warp near Frontier Station. Slowing in speed as he took in the still lingering debris in space from destroyed vessels during the attack.

It wasn't more then a few minutes before his ship was being hailed by The Perverse, Captain Catherine Roberts ship, undergoing heavy repairs in dock. "Nathan, normally I'd say it's a pleasure but under the circumstances it's anything but. To what does this battered bunch of ships and station owe you showing up" Come to bring supplies for aid with the repairs" Or simply looking for your next drink to enjoy?"

Reynolds perked his usual smirk that often laid upon his lips. "Catherine, so nice to see you again. No, I'm not here for a drink. Place looks like it could use some work before the bars will be open again. I'm actually here to sell some information of a recent meeting my ship witnessed." Captain Roberts arched a brow. "Anyone I know?" Captain Reynolds smirk, slowly ushered into a grin at his lips. To which Captain Roberts brow lifted just slightly further. "All right....Nathan, how much?" Reynolds grin held to his lips as he pulled at the fingers of his leather gloves to slip of them off one by one from his hands. "Usual, I won't jack up the price considering from the scans my ship has just taken of the ships in dock and the station. You are all in rough shape."

Onboard Frontier Station...

Archimedes Remus was sitting in a chair just inside one of the restaurants on the station. No food was being served, all things considered, but drinks were being served for free for the next three hours. To help with moral onboard the station.

Captain John Belafonti walked over and lowered to a chair across from Archimedes. Shaking his head some before speaking. "Well, Archimedes, repairs are coming along with the help of the worker droids here and tech crews but my ship won't be joining any strike back force soon. The torpedo launching system onboard my ship is going to take another week possibly and my starboard and aft shielding I can't seem to get above twenty percent. Probably going to have to replace the cells between relays."

A tall Klingon woman, Delnora, approached with a light smile touched at her lips. The half Human and half Klingon woman was probably one of the more lovely Klingon women in the galaxy. Good teeth, was always a perk. "Gentlemen, mind if I sit?" Archimedes glanced up and smiled toward Delnora, trying to hold back a wince with a shifting of muscle under his armless vest. The doctor had told him to try and keep to bed rest for the next few weeks. To allow his healing injuries to improve faster and with out trouble. Of course, it was Archimedes Remus and he was never one to give pause when action needed to be taken.

A motion of his hand toward a chair and Delnora lowered into it with her smile still set to her lips. "Delnora, been a while. Good to see you. How did you ship fair in that exchange?" Inquired Belafonti as a man came by and set down a few goblets for them before moving onto the next table. "A few troublesome hits, but my ship should be fully up and ready with in the hour." She gave a nod toward Archimedes. "Your ship has been in better shape, Archimedes. The view from the outer ring she's in dock tells a dark tale of long recovery." Archimedes nodded a bit and waved off with a motion of hand the recovery, repair of the vessel. "Plans are being worked on, to gather that of a new ship. No doubt the next one will be a step down perhaps in power, but anything about now would be wondrous for my crew to start hunting down Empire ships of 132."

"Well, you know all you have to do is ask and myself and Captain Kruger are more then willing to help you hunt down some of 132, Archimedes." Delnora smiled, showing off those seemingly perfect white teeth of hers in the process. "I heard from Ezra. That Trill of a woman has nice spots, but her attitude is something to be worked on." Smirked Delnora. "She has information for you, Archimedes. It would seem, those morons from the Empire have made a bounty of enemies with their attack here. Already there are people signing on to head out and attack in groups, that of Empire supply ships and even hunt down lone ships to destroy."

"What they've done, will cause them trouble through several systems." Replied Archimedes. "My son, will have another surgery tomorrow. The doctors do not wish to wake him until the surgery after this one. They say the pain if awake, would be harsh for him. I leave tomorrow in hope of securing a new ship. There are three options to consider currently. Soon I will be back among the stars and on the hunt for Empire ships."

"Need some help, recovering, Archimedes?" Delnora's smile was infectious with her look over toward the Furyan man. Indeed the smile upon his lips was genuine. "I have no doubt, you would be a wondrous 'nurse' for helping me recover, Delnora." John Belafonti glanced between the two as he lifted his goblet from the table to take a drink, pausing. "You said, you weren't leaving until tomorrow. Since I've met you I have never known you to let anything, even injuries, stop you from getting things done. You don't leave, until tomorrow."

Archimedes smiled over at John, shifting his gaze toward Delnora as he moved to stand from the table. A bit of pain perked in his side and leg, but he still would offer a strong hand out toward Delnora. "It would seem, I have sometime for 'recovering' my dear. Care to join me?" Delnora's face lit up with her deepening smile as she took Archimedes hand and lifted from the chair to her feet. "Absolutely, Captain. I'll be gentle."

Archimedes smiled some as he gave a warm squeeze of her hand in his own. "Not too gentle, I hope."

Captain Desdin Pots finally arrived to the battered space station that was The Frontier. Absently wiping at his shoulders and the three inch tassels there in hang upon his blue jacket as he smiled brightly that smile of his as Commander Dorn sat down to the table at the bar on the main entertainment level of the station. Though, much of the entertainment was closed for repairs.

"Ah, my favorite Klingon!" Pots rubbed his hands together and smiled brightly as Dorn perked an eye ridge at the annoying man. "You've give the information required, however, I have yet to confirm the transfer of the TR-116 Rifles, Pots."

Desdin Pots smiled bright, still, and nodded his head perhaps more then he needed to. "Indeed that is true my big Klingon! I've only received half the payment for goods delivered and I don't feel like handing over the rest of the items until I have my full payment."

Dorn's fist impacted the table, leaving an impact dent in the process. Pots tried to still smile, like nothing was wrong. Though his finger tips were twiddle a bit nervous like. "So, does that mean you're going to make a call and have the rest of my fee delivered to my docked ship or?" Dorn reached over the table suddenly and grabbed Pots by the throat. "Listen to me, you troublesome pest. You will get your payment in full, once those rifles are taken to the cargo area I've already told you of. Not before. Now are you going to make a call and have the crates moved, or should I break your neck and proceed to not only take the rifles but also your ship for wasting my time. Your androids, aren't perfect. I look forward to ripping their arms out of their sockets."

Dorn would release Pots from his grip, all be it a harsh toss of the man back to his chair. Acquiring his breath again was a great thing and Pots adjusted his jacket as he coughed some. "Ahem, well, yes...I see your point. I'll have the rifles delivered with in the hour." Dorn growled at Pots. "Ahem...ah, how about I make a call with my communicator now and have them delivered right away?"

Dorn nodded slowly over the table and Pots smiled weakly as he fished out his communicator.

Three hours later in a conference room onboard Frontier Station...

Captain Catherine Roberts shook her head as she sat cross legged on the table's edge. The room had power, finally, and Governor Koloth was more then willing to help those onboard his station in any way he could. "Sounds risky, but then again, when have you ever been with out such in your life, Archimedes?" Spoke Cat as Archimedes gave a light nod of his head toward her. "True, but it will work and in turn give me another ship to get back into the fight. Captain Slovac's message of aid, though not a total surprise, was unexpected. However, not unwelcome given the turn of events recently. He and his daughter's ship will cause a 'disturbance' while my crew slips in to steal our next vessel."

Cat shifted her long legs out and swung them lightly over the edge of the table as her hands set to the table's edge in turn. "I don't like it. You should wait until my ship is ready to depart from repairs, Archimedes." Archimedes smiled some with a gentle nod of his head. "I know, Catherine. Though the Klingons I have helping to deliver that of myself and my crew, should be able to get us in close with the aid of their cloaking devices. While Captain Slovac and the daughter he spoke of, cause their disturbance we will slip in close to the ship in question and beam aboard before they raise their shields."

"Fine...fine. I can understand your desire to get back into the game with a working ship again. What are you going to do with the Zenobia, or what is left of her?" Archimedes lips shifted, a slow grin rising. Cat knew that grin and gave a tilt of her head to the side as she arched a slender brow. "We are going to use it, as bait. She'll only do warp five or so for a few hours, but that's enough to get her where I need the ship to be for the baiting. Once I have the stolen the newer ship to call my own, we will set the bait plan in motion. I've acquired the location of supply routes and some stations the Empire uses. Not to worry my dear Catherine, I'll make sure there are plenty of targets for you and others to engage once repairs are completed."

Cat gave a sigh, but nodded her head. She gave a little hop off the table and to her knee high leather boots. Stepping over toward Archimedes and sliding her arms upwards around his neck as she leaned in closer to him. "Don't go and get yourself killed out there with out me. I can handle being one of several lovers spread over the blackness of space, but I could not handle not seeing of you again. Your death, would make space that much more darker and cold."

Archimedes arms moved around her slender waist, the red top and matching mini skirt she had on with the gold sash, showed off her tone abs rather nicely. "Now Catherine, you know me better than most. Not even death, could keep me away from my friends and family. The Grim Reaper himself would be in the for the fight of his life." Catherine smiled, nodding gently and pressing her lips to Archimedes quick for a kiss. As she eased some a little she'd give another nod of her head.

"All right, but I'll hold you to that. You better come back, Archimedes. Or I'll take my ship into Hell and bring you back myself."

Archimedes couldn't help the deepen smile playing to his lips. Giving Cat a warm hug in his embrace as he whispered into her right ear.

"Hell have no furry, like a Furyan's scorn."

The pair of B'Rel class ships eased into place while their cloaks were engaged. Captain Kruger and Captain Delnora waited in position. Seconds turned to minutes but finally Captain Slovac and his daughter Valeris, made their 'disruption' known.

The two Constitution Class Refits exited warp near the resupply ships. Opening fire with their phaser banks, but only targeting engines and shields. The crews of the resupply ships almost instantly were calling out for aid and sure enough, three of the five ships in orbit of the planet started to move to render aid to the supply ships. The other two, had crew members on the space port upon the planet. With their shields down.

Archimedes and his crew beamed over from the cloaked Klingon ships. Planned out, some beamed directly to the bridge, others to engineering and the rest to other vital areas of the ship to take control of her. Phaser fire would knock down those trying to put up a fight, but with many of the crew on the space port their protests of being over taken were put out quick.

With in minutes, the crew of the targeted vessel, were being beamed down the space port. By the time the other ships were aware of the hijacking of their sister ship, the last of the vessel's former crew were beamed down as Archimedes gave the order to raise shields and set course. As ship phaser fire impacted the now stolen vessel, the pair of Klingon ships decloaked and opened fire. Two ships were disabled as the others moved off before the Klingon ships would cloak once more and disappear. The pair of Constitution class ships would enter warp quickly with the Sovereign class ships newly stolen.

The whole incident went down in less then fifteen minutes. Proper planning and knowing everyone's role in the plan made for a smooth snatch and grab of the Sovereign class vessel in orbit. True the ship would be looked for in the future, but for now it was in the hands of someone looking for a rematch.

It didn't take long to dock at Frontier Station and soon the lists were being made as to what needed replacing, fixing and or re-supplying for the Sovereign vessel. The pair of Constitution class vessels had slipped off before arriving to Frontier Station. Heading to join their own Dimension's ships and continue their cover as committed to their Empire. Soon enough, they would show their defection.

Archimedes was onboard the newly stolen vessel's bridge as a communication came through. "On screen." The Klingon Captain Kruger smiled from the view screen onboard his own ship. "Looks like, you are a Captain once again Archimedes. I have to say, this ship does suit you better then the last. When do we leave to cause havoc for the 132's?" Archimedes couldn't help the smile touching his lips as he gave a nod toward the view screen at his Klingon friend. "In short time, Kruger. I promise you will have your fill of Dimension 132 ships to disable and destroy. More destroyed then disabled, hopefully." Kruger laughed and nodded his head, long dark locks bypassing the shoulders of his outfit in turn. "We will savor a drink together after!" Archimedes held his smile and nodded again. "Romulan Ale, I'll buy."

Dimension 132 Starbase, hidden inside a Nebula....

Captain John Stockton smiled big as he spoke to Admiral Granger in the officers lounge onboard the station while their ships were being re-supplied. "This information Admiral, is golden. The Zenovia is going to be docked for repairs at this station near the asteroid belt. From the information gathered, she's in serious need of refits and repairs. Perfect time to finish her off and Archimedes." Admiral Granger shifted in his chair as he listened to Captain Stockton. Though he did shake his head some. "I'm not sure committing as many ships as you wish, would be a good idea. I can understand your desire as many to get rid of Archimedes, however, to commit the number of ships you are asking for would leave our stations vulnerable in the nearby sectors." Captain Stockton shook his head in return and pounded his hand on the table between them. "Nobody knows of our stations in those sectors though. They are hidden as this station. The use of the natural nebulas has proven valuable and smart on our part. I am asking for a specific number of ships so that we maybe rid of Archimedes once and for all, Admiral. Think of how much trouble he's caused us with that ship of his" Think of one final strike to silence him and that ship from existence" One less troublesome person for us to deal with among the stars." Admiral Granger gave a sigh of breath and shook his head, but then nodded slowly. "Very well. I won't authorize the number you are asking for. I will though, give you fifteen ships. Captain Trip will no doubt wish to be among the vessels heading to put Archimedes to his final rest. The man can't seem to get over losing to that Furyan." Stockton laughed and leaned back in his chair. "Can you blame him' He has those lovely marks to the right side of his face because of Archimedes."

Admiral Granger had to laugh a bit at that. "True, you are right. I am going to send Captain Harrison and Captain Balto on a task. There will be commanding three ships each, besides their own of course, to take out a Klingon convoy traveling through Sector 127. I hear only two escort ships will be with the convoy and they aren't expecting trouble. They should have a good time destroying those ships." Captain Stockton smirked some. "Do you think me and Captain Balto would make a good pair?" Admiral Granger nearly spit out his drink. Swallowing hard and shaking his head. "Captain Balto would probably gut you, rather then sleep with you, Stockton. She's a viper with a starship. One of our best Captains. The last arrogant Captain that tried to win her over, found himself missing an ear and an eye." Stockton laughed and motioned a slave to bring him another drink. "She does have a fire with in her. That is true!"

Timing was everything. Especially when you were planning multiple strikes at once. First thing first though.

The station built into one of the larger asteroids, had been evacuated. Not a single living being was with in. The information those of Dimension 132 had acquired, was fake. To make the bait all that more believing, two other ships that had taken heavy damage at Frontier Station were docked at the asteroid base. The Zenovia, pride for Archimedes and his faithful crew for so many years laid in dock. Stolen so long ago the Prometheus class vessel had brought much fame to the Furyan. Good and bad. Her final attack would be one The Empire of 132 would remember.

As the Empire ships came out of warp, they wasted little time rushing toward the asteroid base and opening fire with their phaser banks and torpedoes. It was truly a beautiful sight against the blackness of space. Bits of asteroid flying this way and that while explosions tore through the base. What wasn't expected was the sudden warp core overload by The Zenovia. As if a warp breach wasn't enough, the ship had been packed with quantum torpedoes. Combined with the explosive factor of the warp core the resulting explosion sent shock waves out to impact four of the Empire ships. Their shielding taking heavy impact from the explosive waves.

"Stockton to fleet! Back off from the station!" "Captain, I'm not reading any life signs from the station or the other ships docked." Stockton looked over toward his helmsman about to question the man when Klingon ships suddenly de-cloaked and started to fire their disruptors at the Empire ships. On cue, other ships suddenly exited warp and moved in quick at the Empire vessels. Captain Trip's voice came over the communications between Empire ships. "Great work Stockton! It's a god damn ambush!"

Out numbered three to one, the Empire vessels fell under attack from multiple angles. Phasers and torpedoes impacted to saucer and nacelles alike of the Empire's ships. The sheer amount of attackers caused Empire ship shielding failures.

Captain Trips ship took a hard hit to the saucer section at the port side. A familiar voice came over the communication system. "Still alive, William' That face of yours help with the women?" Captain William Trip growled as he turned his one good eye at the view screen. "Archimedes..." Another hard hit impacted Trip's ship and he turned toward his helmsman. "Take us out of here! Before there's nothing left of this doomed little fleet of ours!" The communications officer was thrown from the seat they were sitting in as a console exploded nearby. "Helm! Engage warp, now!"

"Archimedes to fleet...destroy remaining vessels at will. They showed no mercy at the Frontier, let us return the favor."

Outer Nebula. Empire Starbase and shipyard.

Six ships of Dimension 132 were currently at the docking ports to the starbase. The nearby shipyard had four more vessels nearly complete. The Nebula offered a smart hiding place for both. Ships passing by the Nebula would not be able to pick up what laid just inside. The downfall however was that ships inside the Nebula couldn't use sensors either, or shields inside.

"Sir, I have distortions. Phantom images." The station commander lightly waved a hand over his cup of coffee and shook his head at the lieutenant. "We are expecting two supply ships. You're too jumpy, lieutenant. We are perfectly safe inside the..."

The station shook with an impact. Then another as the commander dropped his coffee to the flooring. "What in the hell was that?" "Sir! The base is under attack! Two of the ships in dock are already reporting being hit by torpedoes!"

The green Orion Pirate Princess, Eldara, smiled deeply as her ship fired another pair of torpedoes at the ship docked to the base. Rippled explosions tore through the ship and being docked to the station so close, pieces of the ship impacted causing damage in turn to the base. The four escort ships to Eldara's opened fire with their torpedoes at the station and the other ships in dock. The Nebula masking had paid off. The base was unable to see them coming and in turn unable to be prepared.

The Cardassian Gilora Reborjin smiled actually as her ship opened fire on one of the construction structures a nearly completed Empire vessel was with in. "Full spread of torpedoes. Let's show them they can't hide from their crimes."

A Klingon ship moved in firing it's forward torpedo launcher at another of the shipyard cradle like structures. The Nausicaan Tarik laughed whole heartedly as the ship with in exploded from the torpedo impact. "Archimedes is missing the fireworks! Let us destroy another in his name!"

The lead ship, an Excelsior class refit opened fire with it's forward torpedo launchers at the base's main saucer section. The half Trill Captain smiled some even as her view screen was fuzzy due to the interference by the surrounding Nebula. "Captain, there is a garbled transmission from the base. They are asking to surrender." "Open a channel and clear it up as best you can from Nebula interference." "Channel open, Captain."

"This is Captain Kimberly Remus. Daughter of Archimedes Remus. I hear your messy message. However, there will be no mercy as your forces almost killed my brother and his new wife. I've been called the 'easy' one among my siblings, be them half or full blood. Not tonight. Tonight your base and your little hidden shipyards in this Nebula will be set aflame. When we are finished with you? Nothing will be usable inside this Nebula. And nothing, not even you, will be left alive. Anyone coming into this Nebula in the future? Well....they'll only find pieces of you."

Captain Forrest Trent's view screen came to life and the Vulcan Captain Slovac, was on the other end. "How did they hit us in four locations at once" I don't understand! Captain Stockton said his information was near perfect! We've lost more ships and bases in the past twenty-two hours then the damage we inflicted to Frontier station!"

"Captain Trent, this is horrible. Our losses in this sector are completely devastating. How did they find out where our bases where indeed" We must have a spy among our ranks. I've sent word to my daughter. We are going to meet up with Captain Angelina Torres and proceed to Nebula 22. The shipyards there must be protected at all costs."

Captain Trent nodded at the view screen. "I agree, Captain Slovac. I'll send a message to Admiral Granger. The few ships escaping these attacks are meeting up there. Though several ships are limping along as we speak. Hopefully they are not picked off before making their own repairs vital repairs. I'm off for Nebula 22. I'll see you there in a few hours, Captain."

As the view screen went blank, Captain Slovac ran a hand downward from his mustache over his goatee in turn. Leaning back in his chair and nodded over toward his communications officer. "Pulled that off. Now we need to take a slight detour and then onward to Nebula 22. If all goes according to plan, soon we'll be free from the Empire and the horrors we've all experienced. Use one of the new codes to transmit to my daughter. The plan is in motion for our strike. Helm, set course and engage warp six."

Two systems out from the System dubbed Nebula 22, laid Captain Angelina Torres ship.

The Nebula 22 System acquired it's name due to almost the entire system being with in a massive nebula of colors ranging from blues to greens and even oranges and yellows. Sensors and shielding weren't always working inside the Nebula but the two planets outside the nebula were clear of it's havoc to technology. Here laid the massive shipyards and bases both in orbit and on the planets for The Empire of Dimension 132.

Though two systems away, Captain Torres was well clear of being spotted from those heading to Nebula 22. Of course the large moon her ship was in orbit of also helped mask her ship. A Klingon B'Rel class ship de-cloaked slowly off the bow of her own ship. "Open a channel." Spoke Captain Torres as she lowered into her Captain's chair to cross one leg over the other. The view screen came to life with Captain Kruger's image. "I'm going to be late, for my meeting with Captain Slovac." The Klingon male smiled at Captain Torres words. "Well, then you best beam over here for a quick meeting. Then you can get back under way. Can't have you missing your meeting up with Slovac and his daughter." Torres held her stern face for a moment longer, then a smile pushed at her lips. "We'll take a longer 'meeting' you and I, after all this is done, Kruger."

"A very long, meeting, Angelina."

Captain Hosato Toshi's ship came about in a curving wide turn...

"Phasers, fire again!" His vessel's emitter banks opened fire upon the slightly smaller starship. Already the ship he was attacking had lost warp drive capabilities. As the two ships did a sort of dance about the blackness of space a third ship, a Klingon D-7 Cruiser, de-cloaked nearly behind the vessel being attacked by Captain Toshi. Opening fire with a torpedo launch but not before two torpedoes were fired from an aft launcher onboard the battered ship. Impacting hard to the Klingon ship and causing at the close range a partial failure of forward shielding.

Captain Ares, a bio-engineered human, slammed a console onboard the stolen Klingon cruiser. "Divert power to forward grid and fire the forward disruptors!" Several heavy disruptor blasts impacted the vessel trying to dodge fire from both ships. Captain Toshi's voice came over the communication channel to the human captain of the Klingon vessel. "Take it easy Ares! We're supposed to take her alive!" Ares growled onboard his ship. "Fine! Then you board that damn ship after I take out it's shields!"

The Klingon cruiser fired a pair of disruptors at the Centaur class vessel's port nacelle. The resulting explosion nearly tore the nacelle free as power fluctuated through the ship and it lost impulse power. As soon as the shields went down, Captain Toshi beamed over with six boarding parties. Moving through the ship quickly and taking out crew members in search for one in particular. Phaser fire exchanged between the boarding parties and the remaining crew onboard the ship.

A man to Captain Toshi's left is suddenly hit by phaser fire and falls back while Toshi drops to a knee and fires off his phaser. Killing the man that had been standing in the entrance to the medical bay. Toshi perked a brow and slowly lifted to inspect the medical bay. Giving pause at the door before proceeding inside with his phaser at the ready.

Like much of the ship, the medical bay's lights were flickering and several sections of the ceiling had come down. Toshi's gaze shifted about the bay's over turned beds and smashed display screens. His lips turned upwards however when he spotted a woman pinned under a support structure that had broke free from a wall.

"Leena Lannister. A pleasure." Toshi's smile was big and bright as he looked over the woman on the flooring. Blinking upwards, a bit of blood dripped from her cheek as the woman tried to focus her eyes in the flickering lighting. "Hosato.....you'll bring down fire for this...."

Captain Hosato Toshi only grinned in return. "I'm counting on it, Leena."

Archimedes leaned back upon the chair onboard his ship's personal quarters. The screen before him held that of three of his grown children onboard their own vessels.

"So this bastard Toshi has mother and wants to meet up with you? I say we all go and kick him and his ship to the far side of the galaxy." That was Kathryn Remus, like her father she held a temper at times. The redhead shook her head some as Christian Remus spoke up from his spot outside a moon's orbit. "Father, you know we cannot simply let you go alone to this meeting. No doubt Captain Toshi has some ambush type trap set up to capture or kill you." Archimedes perked a light smile at the view screen before him. "Spoken like a true Remus, my son. No doubt there is some sort of trap laying in wait for me. Fear not, I won't venture forth with a plan and not include that of you three. You are Leena Lannister's children and that of mine. Telling you to stay away from helping to rescue her would be like someone telling me to stand down."

It was then that the long dark haired woman spoke up through the view screen upon her own ship, nestled no doubt somewhere not too far off in hiding. Slender finger tips lightly twirled the blue strand of hair playing downward behind her left ear from her locks of hair. "Captain Hosato Toshi. He's a thorn in a few peoples sides. No doubt he's just upset about that scar you gave him long ago, Father. Though it suits him well. Marking him as the wannabe man he thinks he is."

The smile upon Archimedes lips perked again. A light nod of his head toward the view screen. "Perhaps, I'll have to curve that scar downward and around his neck." More a statement then a question really, to which Adrienne's smile finally perked to her lips in return. "My Children, I will devise a plan and have it quietly sent to each of you with in a day's time. We must be mindful though. Indeed a trap of some sort awaits me, but they would not be expecting the three of you possibly. Your half sister Kimberly, I've put in charge along with several others, in dealing with the Empire ships for now. That battle must continue even while we take a side trip to deal with this new matter. Have your ships remain where they are currently and I'll have Dorn dispatch the plan in code to each of you before tomorrow is over. For now, see to preparing your ships for a fight. I have a feeling, there will be plenty for us all to take on."

"You should eat something you know. Keep your strength up." Captain Hosato Toshi was smiling at his captive in the brig onboard his ship, while toying with an apple upon the food tray that was sitting outside her cell. His stiletto lightly ran the curve of the apple as Leena Lannister shifted to take a lean against the wall of her cell. She smirked some at Hosato. "Archimedes is going to mess you up so deeply, you'll no doubt have to have your food blended up for you to eat, Hosato."

Hosato laughed and shook his head back at her through the force field of her cell. "Tough words from a woman locked away." "Why don't you let this force field down and we can see how tough those words can become?" Hosato actually for a brief moment, considered the option. "Hm, no. Can't ruin the bait too much with a beating. Though perhaps that would draw out Archimedes faster to me" I can wait though, Miss Lannister. In the mean time, we should maybe let go of our feelings and get to know each other better."

Leena's smirk perked slowly into a deeper smile. "Doubtful, you're not my type, Hosato." A bit of laughter from the man with the scar along the right side of his face. "Oh I am not?" Leena's smile, shifted then to a pure grin as she looked back at Hosato. "I only like real men and I fear you're far too much a child to even compare to the lustful desires a 'real' man can bring out in a woman."

Hosato's smile did slip some from his lips at that. He tried not to let his temper get the best of him however. "I see. Perhaps I would simply be too much for a woman like you to handle." Leena pushed off from the wall in her cell. Her hands set to her hips as she gave a tilt of her head to the left slightly in regard of Hosato. "You wouldn't know what to do with a real woman, Hosato. Matter a fact, I bet you've never brought any woman any pleasure. Probably just pain....specially from that nasty scar on the side of your face. How did you get that again?" Her lips were pushed into a smile.

Hosato's expression had gone sour. A tap of a fingertip to the apple in his hands before pushing the blade of his knife into the fruit and setting it down upon a chair outside the cell. "Archimedes, Archimedes, Archimedes...I travel from one system to the next and I always hear whispers of his name. He is not a man of myth or legend. He is simply a man that I will show all, can be killed. You will see, all will see!"

"If you say so, Hosato." Leena was still smiling however from inside her cell as she moved to sit down on the metal like bench. "I just hope I'm there, when he takes the life from your pathetic corpse."

"And I have told you, he is not to be taken lightly. He will expect some sort of trap and in turn have some type of trick up his sleeve." Captain Ares wasn't sure on the plan Captain Hosato Toshi had in mind. "Don't you think I've taken that into consideration' That is why I've gathered some to help ensure his capture or death. The Cardassian Gul Torit, should be in the system with in a few hours and Captain Sinas is due in two hours time roughly."

Captain Ares gave a grunt at his computer screen onboard the bridge of his stolen Klingon cruiser. "Captain Sinas is an old Andorian." Toshi smiled but nodded quick. "Perhaps, but he is one of many that hold a hate for Archimedes. I knew if I sent him word, he would come forth to help. I have also hired the mercenary TelShar and his crew to aid us in our plan."

Ares eye brow perked some at the screen with mild interest. "Isn't Captain TelShar that spineless Bajorian the Cardassians gave a ship to?" Toshi nodded a bit at his computer screen and Ares rolled his eyes in turn. "If he runs at the first sign of danger to him and his precious ship, I'll hunt him down myself and dislocate his limbs from their sockets." Toshi laughed with a shake of his head. "He is scum, true, but he works for money and that is how I have roped him into this plan. If he runs, we will both hunt him down and reduce his ship to nothing but debris about the blackness of space."

"Torit is a decent, Cardassian for this objective." Commented Captain Ares as his mind was playing the variety of possible out comes the plan could take. "He lost his true ship sometime ago I heard. Beamed those left of his crew over to the defending ship and blasted everything that moved. Families included they say. Renamed the captured ship Galiant. Now there's a joke if I've ever heard one."

Toshi waved a hand before the view screen before him. "It matters not how he acquired the current ship he has. I simply need him to do his part in this ambush and stay firm to the plan." Ares nodded slightly but pointed his index finger at the screen. "This plan better work, Hosato Toshi. I don't like getting my ship banged up for repairs for no good reason. We capture or kill Archimedes Remus and that will be the only acceptable outcome. Whatever you want to do with Leena Lannister after that, is up to you. I have a future meeting with some Klingons wishing to impose their strength upon a system. I'd prefer not to show up with a scrap yard ship if this plan of yours goes bad."

There was a bounty of races and unique species that had found their way into the systems. Often it was the result of a Wormhole opening with in their own galaxy and or universe. Some races were able to venture forth through the wormholes and accept the challenges of the multitude of friendly and not so, of the galaxy. Dimensional wormholes were unique as they provided variations of what might have been. Asteroid Belt, near the massive Moons of Starcore. Captain Stelvicore tapped a green fingertip to the console at his right. The Orion Cruiser had been upon the system for nearly six hours in it's efforts to find a 'lost' ship. Lifting his fingertip to run along a series of scars upon the right side of his light green cheek, Captain Stelvicore motioned the communications officer to open a channel to the other Orion Cruiser at the far end of the system. "Captain Zarroco, have you found any trace of the ship?" The view screen came to life upon the bridge and the tall figure of Captain Zarroco appeared from the bridge of his own vessel. Captain Zarroco was a mix of green flesh and metal enhancements about his forehead, chest and shoulders. It was not uncommon for some Orion officers to obtain such to further their strength in combat situations. "I've found no signs of the ship upon the planets at this end, Captain Stelvicore. It is possible she did not come through this system at all. Perhaps the Deltax System she has headed for" There are five planets there that can sustain life, opposed to the two in this system. The Deltax System does have three operational trading ports upon two of the planets. It would make sense she would try to find safe passage from there." Captain Stelvicore ran his fingertip just below his bottom lip and against the scar playing his green skin at his chin. "Perhaps so, Captain Zarroco. She is rather smart. Her escape with the others was, a bold one." Captain Zarroco gave a nod of his head with a perk of a brow some. "Resetting the relay systems and blowing out eighty-seven relays across the base to mask their escape, was nothing short of brilliant." Captain Stelvicore's lips shifted lightly before giving a nod of his head in turn. "When we find her and the others, they will be made to suffer so that others don't get any ideas. Set your course for the Deltax System and once our ships arrive we can split up to search the planets there." As the two Orion Cruisers exited the system, a vessel slowly started to come back to life near one of the larger asteroids. Having used the metals from the asteroid to help mask her systems, the ship's sensors swept outward as the vessel moved forward from the cover of the asteroid belt. "Shields up." Spoke Gaila, a young Orion female with red hair perking over the torn outfit at her shoulders. "Shields not responding. The damage is extensive. It might take us several hours to make the needed repairs, Gaila." Commented an Orion woman who was busy at a display console making a list of repairs the vessel would need. "We don't have hours. They could always come back. I'd rather not be here if they do come back from wherever they went off to. How are the engines?" "I can get us to Warp Four and that's it, Gaila." Spoke another Orion female who had been bred with blue hair to go with her green skin. "I suggest we avoid any normal routes and stay clear of systems with high traffic spaceports for a bit. We aren't going to be able to out run anything with the status of our engines." Gaila frowned and gave a sigh, but she understood the ship had taken a lot in their getaway. A little over sixty Orion females had helped to put this escape plan into motion. Another twenty-two, sadly died back at the base. "If Warp Four is all we can do, than so be it. I've heard of this Free Port type Station. I just hope we can get there with out being found by the cruisers." The Orion woman with the blue hair tilted her head over at Gaila. Her whole life was that in slavery. "Gaila" What is a Free Port?" Gaila smiled lightly and moved over to give the blue haired woman a warm hug before easing back some and looking her right in the eyes. "Freedom. It means, freedom."

The Zenovia II, stolen as she was and modified slightly by Archimedes and his crew, exited warp near the third planet in the Tyconea System. The System consisted of three planets and two moons. As the battle cruiser proceeded closer toward the third planet, Captain Hosato Toshi's E-Class ship, The Cessation Maru, laid in orbit. "Ah, here he is. It is almost as if some sort of honor holds him to show up isn't it' Send the coded transmission signal. This is going to be easier then shooting tribbles in a barrel." The communications officer sent out the signal and with in two minutes time four ships that had been hiding by the second moon rushed forward to cut off any escape the battle cruiser Zenovia II might try to make. "This is Captain Sinas, I shall take the first shots at this beast of a man." The aged Andorian pointed at the view screen onboard his ship as the weapons officer tapped away at his console. Disruptor cannons opened fire upon the Zenovia. Her shields held from the volley of weapons fire but there was no response of return fire. The cocky Bajoran Captain TelShar opened fire from his vessel as well. Not waiting for orders or permission. His Cardassian Cruiser's weapons impacting to the Zenovia's port side. Still, the Zenovia's shields seemed to weaken some but there was no return fire. Torpedoes then launched from Captain Ares Cruiser to impact to the Zenovia. Bringing the ship's starboard shields down to eighty-seven percent. Yet, there was no return fire. As the ships continued their attack upon the battle cruiser, the Cardassian Gul Torit had yet to fire a shot from his ship. A matter a fact, his gaze was fixated upon the Zenovia upon the view screen onboard his bridge. "Why is she not firing back" Helm, back us off. Something is not right here. Archimedes would never stand down from a fight. He would be firing every phaser and torpedo he has at us all." The communication system perked to life from Captain Toshi's ship. "Torit, why are you not attacking" We will finish him off and be..." Toshi was cut off as Gul Torit shook his head. "There is no return fire. Why is there no return fire" Something is wrong Captain Toshi. This ambush of yours might not be such the trap for him." An officer onboard Captain Toshi's ship blurted out suddenly. "Sir! I'm reading an energy surge onboard the battle cruiser!" Toshi's eyes went wide as suddenly realized what was happening. "All ships break off attack! Warp Core break in progress!" Captain Ares shouted at his weapons officer. "Divert all power to shields and brace for impact!" The Bajoran TelShar tried to move his ship in turn but just as his ship came about explosions rippled through the Zenovia and erupted in a surge of shock waves as the ship's warp core exploded. The shock waves impacted to the nearby attacking vessels causing a strain upon their shields. It would seem somebody had packed warheads about the engineering section and saucer section of the Zenovia to give the warp core breech a bigger bang for it's buck. TelShar's cruiser spun forty-five degrees to the port from being hit by the shock waves, relays and bulk heads blew out as his ship's shielding and weapons went off line. The Andorian Sinas, took heavy damage to his ship's forward and starboard shielding as well as losing sensor and fire control of the torpedo launchers. Captain Ares cruiser suffered damage to her port side and the loss of the ability to cloak, as well as fire control for her torpedoes. Captain Toshi's ship experienced damage to the ship's shields. In those few minutes of shield failure, several had beamed over from a cloaked ship. "Drop cloak and fire!" Christian Remus shouted onboard his fast attack light cruiser. She came out of cloak by Captain Ares ship and quickly proceeded to pound his ship with in a strafing type run. "This is an ambush alright....one for us!" Shouted Captain Sinas onboard his Andorian ship. Just as Kathryn Remus' ship de-cloaked behind the Andorian vessel and opened fire with torpedoes. Gul Torit cursed onboard his ship. His vessel taking the least amount of damage due to having put some distance before the warp core breech. However, he was not out of the fighting. "Open fire with phasers! Try to get a torpedo lock on one of those ships!" His ships rocked suddenly with the impact of torpedoes as The Valkyrie, Adrienne Remus' ship de-cloaked below Gul Torit's vessel before speeding off and coming around as to give a moving target of herself. Utilizing her ship's high maneuverability to keep weapons impact down to her ship. "Torit, nice to see you again. How long as it been" Two or three years" Nice ship you have there. Don't mind if I wreck it." Adrienne was smiling onboard her ship as Gul Torit grabbed a hold to his command chair while his ship rocked with another hard impact to the forward saucer section. "Adrienne! I will have your head for this! Curse the day a Remus was born!" "Where are my torpedoes"!"!?" Shouted Captain Toshi onboard his ship, The Cessation Maru. "Sir, I'm receiving reports of fights breaking out." "Of course you are you idiot! Just look at the forward screen we're in a fight you dumb..." "No sir. Fights onboard this ship!" Captain Toshi perked a brow and then his eyes went wide again. "Leena! Send security to the brig and tell them I am on my way!" Toshi ran for the turbo lift as the communications officer dispatched security teams to the brig. All over the ship Archimedes crew members were busy engaging Toshi's crew. Phaser fire erupting in hall ways as Archimedes had his crew beamed over to different points onboard Toshi's vessel. A group had gone for the forward torpedo launchers, while a second had made it's way for engineering to cause havoc. One group was fighting it's way for a shuttle bay. A crewman was thrown against the wall outside the door to the brig. As he tried to get up a hard footed boot met with his right cheek before the man was picked up again and slammed into the wall before being dropped to the flooring. As the group in engineering worked to disable ship board systems, the security access to the brig disabled and the doors opened. Leena Lannister perked a slender brow and peered out of her cell toward the open door at the hall. Archimedes stepped through and gave a light smile over toward the woman. "Hello my dear, would you care to join us" It would seem we are here for a rescue." Leena's lips perked into a smile as she shot up from the bench she had been sitting upon with in her cell. Captain Hosato Toshi suddenly came rushing into the room with three men. Splitting off, Hosato and two of the men went for Archimedes while one headed right for Leena. Foolish man he was. Leena dropped down to the flooring in an almost perfect split of her legs as her fist was brought upwards to impact into the charging man's crotch. With a wince and groan, the man stumbled some in step and Leena didn't waste any time. She quickly slid back upwards upon her feet and did a sweep kick to catch the man behind his right knee. Sending him to the ground and proceeding then to give a hard stomp to his lower abdomen. The first man to reach Archimedes would soon regret it. As he threw a punch at Archimedes, a slight shift in step and quick grab of the man's wrist while using his other hand would help lift the attacker into the air and using the man's own momentum to send him flying through the air into a stack of crates at the far end of the brig. As the second met up with Archimedes he was given a hard bash across the face by a swinging fist before a second hit to the stomach to send the man backwards to the ground. Archimedes felt a slice of metal to his flesh. Turning to find Hosato holding his dagger and smiling at Archimedes. "I may not exterminate all of your crew, but I will be rid of you this day Remus." Archimedes gave a light nod of his head, locks of silver hair bypassing the shoulders of his torn vest. "Do you wish to debate the subject' Or simply close of your mouth and try your hand?" Hosato's eyes narrowed as he rushed inward with a jab and thrust of his dagger at Archimedes. Shifting in step left then right with a backing some to avoid the blade. A slash caught Archimedes high upon the left side of his chest. As blood started to drip downwards Hosato smiled once again. "If I have to, Archimedes, I will slice you apart one bit at a time." The man just prior to Hosato attacking, was getting up from the flooring. Rubbing his chest before starting to move so he could help Hosato with Archimedes. Least that was his plan. He'd forgotten about Leena. She came quick in her attack from behind. Leaping onto the man and wrapping her legs about his waist from behind as her left arm locked around the man's neck and using her right hand to pull of her left wrist in choke of the brute. The man's hands slapped back at her as he tried to free himself from her grasp to his body only to find her legs had a good grip about him. As Hosato struck forth at Archimedes with the dagger, his wrist was caught by Archimedes hand and the man was sent over his shoulder in a rolled toss. The dagger went flying as Hosato impacted with the flooring and he groaned as he quickly moved to get back up. Finding Archimedes boot sailing into his face before he could stand, sent Hosato tumbling backwards on the floor. "You want a piece of me, Hosato' Here I am. Perhaps I should leave you with a scar upon the other side of your face to match the first I gave you long ago?" Hosato spit blood from his lip and staggered in his standing. "You will dread the day you put that scar there Archimedes Remus!" "No he won't." Came a Leena's voice behind Hosato. In the fighting he'd put all his concentration on Archimedes which was a mistake. There was a reason Archimedes had three children with Leena. She was educated, beautiful, able to hold a conversation on everything from starships to fine art and she was tough. Hosato felt the impact of his own dagger into his lower back. His curse of pain escaped his lips as he fell to the ground with a hard kick to the back of his left knee. Leena's fist met with Hosato's left cheek as he turned his head to see her behind him. The man tumbled to the side and rolled as the dagger stuck low in his back. Leena looked toward Archimedes with a slight smile touching her lips. "Now, you said something about a rescue?" Archimedes perked a smirk upon his lips and as he passed Hosato on the floor he gave the man a hard kick to the ribs. Hosato groaned his pain as blood soaked the back of his uniform by the blade's impale. "I'm....I'm not done with you.....I will have my revenge....I will Archimedes!" Archimedes and Leena darted out of the brig and down the hall way. Stepping over dead crew members of Captain Toshi's in route for a turbo lift. Once inside a lift, Archimedes had them moving for engineering. Leena looked over at Archimedes. "I don't care where you have women in this galaxy, Archimedes. Tonight, you're mine." Archimedes could not help the smile that lifted to his lips, even with bruise and blood playing his flesh. "Promises, promises, my dear." As the turbo lift gave pause he grabbed of her hand and the two made way for engineering section of the ship. Phaser fire was keeping members of Toshi's crew from securing their engineering section from the take over of Archimedes crew members. "Dorn, lovely to see of you again." Spoke Archimedes as he and Leena ducked and dodged the phaser fire moving for a spot of cover by the Klingon. "Captain and Miss Leena. The torpedo launchers are off line and the shields are down. Team Three has done their task in the shuttle bay and already they and the torpedo team have been beamed off the ship by Adrienne." Leena smiled some and gave Archimedes a light shove. "You brought Adrienne?" Archimedes gave a nod of his head and a smirk at the shove. "Do you honestly think any of our children, let alone Adrienne would have sat by while you were stuck onboard this ship" They are all strong and she is strong willed." Leena leaned in and gave Archimedes a kiss on his cheek. "That's because she takes after you." Dorn activated his communicator with a touch of a finger tip. "Twelve ready for transport." In a bounty of beaming light they disappeared from Hosato's ship and onto Adrienne's ship. The small mess hall to be exact. It offered decent space for the group to be transported to. "Shields up and get us out of here!" Shouted Adrienne on the bridge as Dorn pushed a button on his communicator. The transmitted signal went right to Hosato's ship. More so, the shuttle bay. Explosives had been set up to two shuttles and the resulting explosions nearly tore the bay from the ship. Power failures ran wild onboard The Cessation Maru and she drifted to port some as main power fluctuated all over the ship. Captain Ares Klingon cruiser was experiencing navigation along with shielding problems. Her weapon systems were off line and as he watched the attacking ships depart by warp he growled under his breath. "I will find that man and I will kill of him."

The Starbase laid outside the Tarshina System. A meeting point for resupply of Dimension 132 Empire starships. "Stockton to Harrison." The view screen came to life with Captain 'Gus' Harrison from the bridge of his own cruiser. "We are almost ready to disengage from the station and proceed to meet up with the rest of the fleet at the set coordinates." Captain Stockton gave a nod of his head as he sat upon his command chair onboard his ship. "We are departing the station now. I'll meet you at the meeting point." "Sir. I have ships exiting warp! Multiple signatures and none of them are Empire!" Stockton looked over at his communications officer and then the forward screen. "Show me! Magnify!" The forward screen switched to the images of multiple ships of various size and classes heading for the station. "Intercept course! Red Alert! Shields up and ready weapons!" Captain Kimberly Remus gave a motion to her communication's officer to open a channel. "This is Captain Remus, all ships engage. Remember Frontier Station!" Remember Frontier, had become a battle cry for those who had been there or lost someone onboard the Free Port Station called Frontier. The Empire's attack had been unprovoked and now the Empire was suffering losses across the systems for their sins. Captain John Stockton's ship was rocked by phaser fire to the underside of her saucer section. Captain 'Cat' Roberts grinned as her ship continued to fire from below Stockton's. "Morning to you. Archimedes sends his best!" She laughed as her ship fired a pair of torpedoes to impact to Stockton's starboard just under the saucer section. "Bring us about and fire upon that ship!" Shouted Stockton. As Captain Timothy Dalton of the Empire moved his ship in to help Stockton, he suddenly took fire from a Miranda class refit and two of her escorting Akula class destroyers. Eldara smiled onboard the bridge of her Miranda refitted starship. "Oh no you don't." Said the once Orion slave turned Pirate Princess. Her ships hammered Captain Dalton's cruiser with their phasers to keep him from helping Stockton. Captain Forrest Trent of the Empire had departed his ship from the resupply station and his shields had just gone up to engage the attacking fleet when torpedoes impacted his ship on the port side. The fast moving Saber class ship, Remorse, darted past Captain Trent's ship as the Trill Ezra Beltorin smiled deeply onboard her ship. "Bring us around for another attacking run and try to give me a good shot at her aft section." The Star Stalker, Captain Hoshi Balto's cruiser was already engaging two of the attacking ships when disruptor cannons impacted to her port and starboard sides. "Sir! Two Klingon ships have de-cloaked!" "Return phaser fire and get my torpedoes launchers back online!" The Nausicaan Captain Tarik and the Klingon Captain Kruger had teamed up to give Balto a hard time. "Captain Kruger here, I'll hit the aft section next you give her hell on the starboard side still." Balto's ship shook from the shields taking heavy hits. "Divert auxiliary power to shields! Communications! Get me some help!" "Captain all ships reporting need for help. We're being over run by the attacking fleet, there are too many of them!" Another Klingon ship de-cloaked to the starboard side of Stockton's cruiser. The Klingon woman Delnora, smirked some as her ship opened fire with it's torpedoes so near the Empire vessel. Stockton's shielding was failing to the aft and starboard side as torpedoes fired off at Captain 'Cat' Roberts ship. "Damn! Signal the Station. Abandon and retreat to Sector 17. All Ships retreat to Sector 17!" "This is Captain Dalton, I've taken heavy damage. Making the jump to warp!" As his ship leapt into warp, Eldara and her escorts turned their attention upon Captain Trent's ship nearby that Ezra and two other ships were engaging. "This is Captain Trent of the Manta, I've lost weapons and shields are failing. Engaging warp out of the system." His Constitution class refit made the jump into warp and narrowly missed being hit by three more torpedoes. As Captain Hoshi Balto was preparing to go to warp, the Second Star opened fire upon her ship. A pair of torpedoes fired from Kimberly's E-Class refitted vessel. Bringing the shields of Hoshi's ship down to forty-one percent. "That's for breaking dad's heart you wench." Muttered Captain Kimberly Remus. True it had been a few years since Captain Hoshi Balto had set Archimedes up for capture, but as many of the Remus children, Kimberly held a special spot in her heart for her father. Her Trill mother had died saving Archimedes when she was still very young. It was because of her mother's death, Kimberly spent a lot of her growing years with her father. He taught her starships and how to use a starship, phaser, or bladed weapon to her advantage in a fight. He didn't just teach her about who her Trill mother was, he taught her how to survive in the harsh blackness of space. The last man that made a 'pass' on Kimberly at Frontier Station found a swift boot in his groan. Lovely as she was, Kimberly was quite able in a fight. "Hit her again!" Shouted Kimberly onboard the bridge of her ship. Phaser fire and two more torpedoes would impact Hoshi Balto's cruiser sending some of the bridge crew flying to the side as the ship jerked from the hard hits. "Get us out of here! Warp highest warp able!" Shouted Captain Hoshi Balto. As her ship's shields dropped to twelve percent, the Star Stalker entered warp to escape the area and the attackers. Captain 'Gus' Harrison's cruiser was engaging three of the Akula class escort ships when Eldara's command ship, The Piranha, opened fire with it's phaser banks. Two torpedoes fired off from her ship's torpedo pod upon the roll-bar like structure and slammed into Harrison's cruiser mid section. "Sir! We're losing shields! Power failure on decks five through seven." Captain Harrison stumbled, grabbing at a console on the bridge to steady himself from the hits his ship was taking. "Hull breach on deck..." Harrison cut the officer short. "Full impulse! Get us clear and engage warp!" The Akula escorts and the Miranda refitted vessel started to hammer the Empire cruiser with torpedoes. Holes were blown into her saucer section from impact as her port side nacelle exploded and the ship started to drift as the engineering section experienced power fluctuations. "All hands this is the Captain! Abandon ship! Repeat abandon ship!" As escape pods started to dash outward bound from the heavily damaged cruiser, the Empire's station was a mess of evacuating ships departing from the station. Torpedo and phaser fire impacted to the station and several of the escaping ships. Dock Three and Four went up in explosions as the Station's shielding had failed long ago in the attack and the torpedoes riddling her hull caused a bounty of internal ripples of exploding ordnance from the Station's stockpile of weapons. Her purpose of re-supplying the Empire fleet, was now her undoing. Stacked torpedoes and explosives were being set off from the attacking fleet of ships. Another four ships trying to get further from the station were caught up in an outward explosion tearing their ships apart. The last thing Captain Stockton was able to see before his ship went into warp, was that of Captain Kimberly Remus' vessel firing another pair of torpedoes at him. As his ship escaped through warp, Stockton growled and slammed his fist into the console at the right side of his command chair. "How did they know? How did they know of the station's location' That resupply station was a Level Five secure location. Somebody talked. We have a traitor among us somewhere. Helm, let me know when we arrive at Sector 17. I'll be in my ready room. I have some thinking upon the matter at hand."

Archimedes was sitting in a chair beside his son Jason's medical bed, with in the sick bay onboard Frontier Station. A few bandages were covering that of healing wounds at his chest and arm. Archimedes didn't have a ship currently it would seem and he didn't have anywhere to be at the moment since his daughter Adrienne had dropped him and his crew back off at the space station.

"You know....I didn't think you were the worrying type." Came the tired voice of Archimedes son Jason. His eyes were gazing over as he shifted upon the medical bed. Archimedes smiled some at his son. "Ah, who said I was worried" You are a Remus after all, my son. No doubt too stubborn to die." Jason smiled a bit and sat up some in bed as he pushed the sheet downward at his chest. Most of the wounds had healed far better then expected by the station doctor. Of course the unique cells of a Furyan did flow with in his veins.

Archimedes reached out to hand Jason a data padd he was holding. "What's this?" Inquired Jason with a quirked brow as he took the device in hand and tapped the screen. "A late wedding present for you and your wife, Alicia." Jason looked over the information and images perking forth on the padd as his father spoke. "She's older, but she's clean from a mothball ship yard. I know a few that can help you get her running among the stars. She arrived this morning to the station here. Currently getting a full systems check and upgrades. Don't worry about the cost, it's paid for." Jason nodded with a smile stuck at his lips. "She's an older class Destroyer, however after the upgrades and refits here at the station she'll be good enough to travel the stars freely and offer a level of defense in your travels."

"Your wife Alicia is out picking sheets for your quarters onboard the ship as we speak. No doubt some other female like items for decor of your quarters. That is of course between you and your new wife." Archimedes smiled with a light bit of laughter in his voice. Jason chuckled some with a little nod of his head. "Maybe, but I'm not worried about it. I am just lucky to have found her. Unlike my father who has found many loves it would seem across the stars, I think I'll stick with just Alicia." Jason was smirking at his father and Archimedes couldn't help the laughter that played from his lips. "I may have had many lovers but all of them were, are, special in their own way. I would not trade my time with any of them to be honest. Of course I would not expect anyone to follow the adventures I've been through. I wish you and Alicia a long and happy life together. Besides, I am expecting you two to deliver me some grand children. Your other half-siblings don't seem to want to give their father any grand children. No rush of course. Though perhaps you two could keep that in mind for the future." Archimedes smirked brightly over at Jason and the two of them laughed in turn. "I think I want to see this new ship of ours first, father. As far as grand children go, well, myself and Alicia are newly weds."

"This is the Bajoran vessel Kimba to any ships with in range.....we are under attack by two Cardassian Cruisers. Warp engines are off line and shields down to forty-two percent. Requesting aid from anyone! Please respond!"

The Bajoran Alliance of Dimension 163 had decently powered starships. However their maximum warp was only that of warp six and their Destroyer class ships only had six phaser banks and two forward firing torpedo launchers. Against equal odds the ship could hold it's own, but that of the Cardassian cruisers had run down the Bajoran vessel with their higher warp capacity and disabled the top warp nacelle. Bajoran Alliance destroyers had a one upper and one lower nacelle pylon.

As the first Cardassian vessel moved in closer, a Klingon vessel de-cloaked just below the ship and opened fire with it's wing mounted disruptor cannons and a hard hit to the Cardassian ship's belly section by a torpedo launch. The Cardassian ship rocked by the close impact of weapons as the second Cardassian vessel turned toward port to target the Klingon ship.

As the Cardassian ship came about to open fire, the Bajoran vessel was able to turn and lock torpedoes before firing a pair off at the Cardassian vessel's aft section. A second Klingon vessel de-cloaked then and opened fire with it's disruptors upon the second Cardassian cruiser. While the second cruiser took disruptor and torpedo fire, the first Cardassian vessel turned to starboard slightly and leapt into warp to escape the now uneven odds. Though the Bajoran vessel's phasers were off line, the ship's forward torpedo launchers were fully functional and combined with the weapons fire from the two Klingon ships it wasn't long until the Cardassian ship tried to pull away and escape the scene.

Just prior to entering warp for their escape, the aft shields failed on the Cardassian cruiser as Klingon and Bajoran alike fired torpedoes upon the enemy vessel. As the aft section of the Cardassian ship started to ripple with explosions, the mid-section of the ship suddenly burst from bottom to top in tearing the ship apart.

"This is Delnora of the Klingon ship Drovana. I don't think the Cardassians will be causing you trouble for a while. Not to worry, we'll stick around until you've made repairs to your warp drive. You should be advised that this section of space is sadly becoming a dangerous zone for Cardassian attacks. I don't know what Galaxy or Dimension they are from, but they are a thorn in just about everyone's side. Make your repairs, enough to get you to Frontier Station. If not familiar with The Frontier, well, we can show you the way once your warp drive is up to at least a warp four function."

Captain John Stockton's Cruiser refit The Ragnar, was surrounded by various smaller ships of the Sector 17 Starbase. Ships that had escaped the ambush outside the Tarshina System were being attended to by a small army of engineers and technicians. Damage to The Empire ships of Dimension 132 was extensive. Holes in ship hulls from torpedo impact points, weapon system failures, seemingly everything including some ships having trouble with life support systems plagued the vessels that had escaped.

Stockton's phasers and forward torpedo launchers were not responding. His warp engine might even need to be replaced, as the engineers from the shipyard of Sector 17 were doing their best to try and repair the engineering systems. However despite their best efforts with changing out this relay and rerouting that energy flow the ship's warp drive would never go beyond that of warp four with estimates.

Other ships of The Empire were in worse shape. Having to be evacuated as main power systems failed.

Unlike the C-Class Refit that was the main cruiser for The Empire of Dimension 132, The M-Class Refit was shorter and held more weapon systems. It also had a smaller crew. While the C-Class Cruiser had an arsenal of six dual phaser banks, six single phaser banks and two forward torpedo launchers, the M-Class Cruiser held that of eight-teen phaser banks and two forward firing torpedo launchers with two more torpedo launchers that were aft facing.

Such ships were usually reserved for that of Admirals of The Empire. Two of which had arrived shortly after the battered cruisers arrived for aid from the last starbase to be attacked.

Captain John Stockton gave a grumbled sigh before giving a nod to his communication officer to Fleet Admiral Timothy Marcus through the comm system. Which, due to damage to Stockton's ship, only had audio communications working. Visual was down.

"This is, Captain Stockton." "Captain, do you want to tell me what the hell happened to the Starbase and Empire ships" I have reports of damaged, destroyed and missing ships! Those ships were to be diverted to Sector 47 for the offensive against those damn Klingons from Dimension 117. Now I have no reserve ships to send the Task Force for their mission objective and the space yards here are using their resources to fix heavy damage instead of sending their workers and supplies to help the Task Force!" Stockton shifted his lips as he fought back an angry retort to the Admiral. "We've lost more ships and starbases recently we did in the entire Ventura Campaign, Admiral. I believe there is a traitor among us. There has to be. How else would these....scum of the universe be able to hit us where it counts so effectively' One starbase, two sure, but multiple starbases and shipyards hit over and over" Someone is talking. Someone with clearance to the location of our stations. It is either a Captain or an Admiral, sir." The communication channel was quiet a moment. Nothing but the emptiness of space before the voice of Admiral Marcus was heard again. "Stockton, I'm diverting engineers and technicians to your ship. There are ships that won't be worth the cost of repair. They are lost causes to The Empire. Their crews will be assigned to other ships or used to fill the spots on ships that have been hit hard in combat. Your ship and four others are going be priority to get back into full service for The Empire. I'm going to have a team work on what was similar with the stations and shipyards. Who had access, knowledge and security clearance to their locations. Fleet Admiral Anthony Dougherty is attempting to strike a treaty with the Andorians and the Vulcans of Dimension 117. This scum as you call them, won't be able to fight an enemy on three fronts."

Stockton perked a brow to this information. The Andorians and Vulcans of Dimension 117 were evil to the core. They held a loose treaty with each other after the Vulcans realized the Andorians of their Galaxy had stolen the technical data on their Cruisers. With both sides holding nearly the same type of ship for combat, the Vulcans felt it logical to propose a treaty with the Andorians. Since then and since the wormhole opened from their Dimension into the Nexus where galaxies and dimensions intersect, both have ventured on joint campaigns for their races.

"Admiral Murdan. Is he going to be part of this treaty our fellow Admiral Dougherty is attempting with the Andorians?" Inquired Stockton. There was another pause from Admiral Marcus before he would respond. "Yes. I know you two have bad blood in the past. Both of you have lost crew members to each other in engagements among the blackness of space. I need you to put that behind you, Stockton. The Vulcans given their damn logic, will probably sign to a treaty of peace between our two cultures with in a day or two. Andorians are not as easy to acquire. I have no doubt though that Admiral Dougherty will be able to get them to sign some type of non-aggression treaty. Dougherty is meeting with the Vulcan Captain's Saron and Morvek. We need support to take back what is ours. If the Vulcans and Andorians wish some of the systems, we can negotiate who keeps what territory." "I'm going to need a new warp core among other things, Admiral." Commented Stockton to the communication system. "I'll make note of it. See if we can't butcher a few ships that won't dash out into space again from other damaged systems to repair yours."

"This is Captain Slovac, please respond."

The Vulcan Captain of Dimension 132 was 'parked' so to speak with his ship just outside a green nebula which held a large amount of asteroids nearby. It is said the large volume of asteroids in various sizes were the result of two planets in the system colliding together. A planet nearby with the aid of two moons were just enough to over time lock of the small to massive asteroids into that of circling rings for each. Though some rumors speak of a race that used unique technology to do of such.

"This is Captain Zoran, please excuse the audio communications only. We ran into two pirate vessels in route here and are unable to transmit visually." The K'Tinga Class Cruiser was off to the port side of Captain Slovac's ship. Acquired or stolen, Captain Zoran knew every inch and ability of his modified ship and preferred to speak by audio transmissions only. "Captain, myself and the others are nearly ready to slip free finally from the grips of The Empire. One more objective and we're out. Have you brought the advanced torpedoes for us?" Captain Zoran shifted back into his command chair onboard the bridge of his vessel. Lifting a black leather boot to set to a console before him. "Yes, I have brought the advanced torpedoes you asked for. I can have them beamed over to your ship now if you'd like?" "Perfect. Transmitting coordinates now to you for cargo bay three and four."

Captain Zoran gave a slow nod over at a man near a console. Sixty advanced torpedoes were beamed over to Captain Slovac's vessel. Or so he thought. In reality, the so called advanced torpedoes were actually regular torpedoes with advanced sensors placed outside and in. Instead of packing a bigger punch, the torpdeos held powerful tracking devices with in that to the untrained eye would show up as simply the normal waves of energy that flow through relay systems. Nothing that would arise suspicion.

"Thank you Captain Zoran. I will deliver ten to each of the other two ships defecting with my own. We will give The Empire one last big boom before departing them. Your payment will be delivered next week. I assure you." Captain Zoran smiled some onboard his ship. "Of course, Captain Slovac. Not a worry. I trust you and I can wait for the payment. Do take care with those torpedoes, they are quite dangerous and touchy instruments of destruction."

The ships of Dimension 128, were almost exact to those of Dimension 132. The big difference was unlike those of Dimension 132, the Alliance of Dimension 128 were quite reasonable and good hearted people. They were fair, honest and trustworthy. Both running into each other upon the bounty of galaxies and systems after finding their way through wormholes coming to life in each's dimension of course resulted in battle lines being drawn. They were like oil and water, hot and cold, a duck and a chicken. With both sides seemingly having similar technology in shielding and weapons, often conflicts were avoided. Though sometimes, well, things couldn't be avoided.

Captain Adam James was a veteran starship captain and was clearly identified by his dark glasses he seemed to always be wearing. The medical procedure to correct those with eyes problems from his Dimension would not work for him sadly. Seems he was part of the two percent that were allergic to the medications required to be taken before and after the procedure. It mattered not to Captain James and over time others simply got used to seeing the easily spotted captain by his glasses with dark frames.

"This is Captain Adam James to Admiral Samson." "This is Admiral Samson, go ahead Captain." "Sir, I understand the need to fill open Captain's Chairs, but I am not certain the new Captains are up for the task just yet." "You're speaking about Captain Johanas?" "Yes sir and that of Captain Thomas Hendricks, Captain Samantha Gardis and Captain Tricia Troup. Captain Ronnie, Johanas, is too young and cocky if you don't mind my saying so sir. He was promoted from Lieutenant Commander up to Captain and he doesn't have the experience of a first officer let alone the experience to be a Captain, sir." "James, I know your concern. I've heard it from other veteran captains like yourself. However we have ships and not enough captains to go around. Johanas lost his captain and commander in the same Andorian attack. I didn't have time to find the proper person to promote to take over that ship. I have Captain Draekemp in a nearby system where Johanas is. He's going to be close for a while to help keep an eye on the new captain."

James smirked some, his blonde goatee and mustache shifting slightly with the muscle movement. "I'm sure Captain Draekemp is thrilled with his baby-sitting duty, Admiral." Admiral Samson actually smiled from his bridge toward the view screen onboard his ship. "What do you think" He'd rather be off running some intelligence sweep, or helping to escort a supply convoy or anything else. I have Captain Layton watching over Captain Troup and Captain Sancho keeping contact with Captain Hendricks and Gardis while her ship is in the Rhydin System. Hendricks and Gardis are up for patrol duty with their ships soon. I've given them an easy sector to patrol. Shouldn't be any problems for them. Not going to send them out on some dangerous mission right away you know." James gave a nod toward his view screen and leaned forward in his command chair onboard the bridge of his ship. "You know Captain Hendricks is going to try and prove himself. His father was a war hero and decorated several times. I fought with his father at the Battle of Zentar II. Worries me that he might do something too bold, too soon, to try and be like his old man." Admiral Samson gave a nod from his command chair onboard that of his own ship.

"You know what, James? To be honest, I fear you might be right with that one."

With recent fighting in multiple systems, it was no surprise that ships were coming more often to dock and resupply at The Frontier Station.

A string of attacks against the Bajoran Alliance of Dimension 163, had their A-Class Destroyers frequenting the Station. Of course Frontier Station was a good place to relax and take it easy for a bit before heading back out into the blackness of space and the unknown.

Archimedes was enjoying a drink and fresh food, yes fresh food not that replicator stuff, by one of the many restaurants on Frontier Station. His choice tonight' Lobster tails with melted butter. Sure it cost something to enjoy real food, but there was something to be said about the taste of cooked food and Frontier Station was known for such special foods to enjoy.

"I heard you lost your ship." Came the female voice of a Bajoran woman as she was walking for Archimedes table. He'd give pause in the dipping of a sliced chunk of lobster tail to the melted butter bowl with a glance upwards. "Kira Venice. I didn't know your ship was docked here, or that you were in the system for that matter." His gaze moved over the woman slowly in regard. Red uniform, shoulder length auburn colored hair and those red lips with brown eyes. "Mind if I join you for a bit?" Inquired Kira, to which Archimedes ushered a chair at his table out by way of his boot nudging it below the table. "But of course my dear. It has been sometime. You are well?" Kira gave a nod of her head as she sat down and gave a light wave of a hand as Archimedes offered to share the food before him. "I'm good, good as can be all things considered. Cardassians are a pain for all of us right now. Captain Kron, Maylna and Gilkashin seem to have it out for Bajorans lately. Another ship of ours was hit yesterday. They didn't make it here. To the station for safety." Archimedes perked a brow over at Kira and nodded lightly. "I am sorry to hear such. Cardassians, no matter the galaxy or dimension seem to be a thorn in most peoples side. Of course I will help if I can in some way, should you need of it, Kira. Though for now, until a deal goes through, I am with out a ship at the moment."

Kira nodded her head, though a smile did play to her lips. "I heard about that little reverse ambush you pulled. I wish I could of seen the look at Captain Toshi's face when you blew your ship up on purpose to damage their ships. Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Toshi?" "No..."

"You getting a new ship. I need a favor, Archimedes. I need you to take on a crew member when you get another ship. I need you to help train them to fight and to be a good commander in combat. Be it hand to hand or ship to ship."

Archimedes set down his fork to the plate, the chunk of lobster still upon it's prongs. "Who is the person you wish me to help out, in such a way?"

Kira shifted in her chair some. "Um...our daughter, Shannon Jaxa. With things heating up with the Cardassians and maybe others, I think it would be best she is trained by the only man I know that could walk a desert and survive three days with out water." "Four days." Corrected Archimedes. "And truth be told Kira, I did find water deep with in a canyon that helped me survive that experience." Kira sighed some and nodded. "Archimedes, please. I've helped her this far along. She is tough and strong. Like a certain somebody sitting across from me now." "You don't give yourself enough credit, Kira. She gets a lot of that strength from her mother, you. It is not always my blood that gives my offspring their strength. You used to be quite the spar partner as I recall." Kira's smile returned to her lips. "I still am." Archimedes nodded and then inquired further.

"How's Jonathan?" Kira should of expected that question and as it came out she was caught off guard for a moment. "Um, he's good. He's good for me. I know where he is most of the time, even with us being on different ships. It's kind of, stable." Archimedes nodded gently as he reached for his glass upon the table. No Romulan Ale this night. Simple water. "He's not like you, Archimedes. That's okay for me. I love him, but not the same way I loved you." Archimedes lowered his glass after a quiet drink back to the table between them. "We had our times, that is for sure, Kira. Adventure and fun. With a speckle of danger here and there to keep things exciting." "Yes we did, Archimedes. I don't regret those days or nights."

"Hopefully soon I will have access to a ship once more. When I do, I will take our daughter onboard and help her become the strong woman her mother before me is." Kira couldn't help but smile to that and she nodded gently over at Archimedes. "Thank you. This means a lot to me, Archimedes. Jonathan is a good Bajoran man, but he's not as skilled as you are with survival in a dangerous situation. I mean, I just want our daughter to have the best chance at making it out there among the galaxies and spaceports and space stations. It can be a dangerous universe."

Archimedes perked a smile to his lips. "Good thing I am not afraid of the Dark."

The A Class Bajoran Destroyer came about quick to port. Opening fire with the ship's forward torpedo launchers and being able to drive damage to the Cardassian ship. Bajoran Captain Lauren Forbes shouted at her tactical officer. "Hit her again!" Another pair of torpedoes were fired off at the left wing like structure to the Cardassian ship. Bajoran Captain Tennor moved his ship to the opposite side of the Cardassian vessel and started firing phaser banks and his own torpedoes from the forward launchers.

As the Cardassian ship started to lose main power, a third Bajorian destroyer came out of warp suddenly behind her. Four torpedoes, fired in pairs leapt from the third destroyer and impacted to the aft section of the Cardassian ship. Explosions started to play through her hull as the three Bajoran ships pulled back to a safer distance.

"This is Captain Jeredoon, everyone all right?" "This is Captain Tennor, minor damage to shields." "Captain Forbes here, I've lost the use of my phaser. Torpedoes still online. Damn Cardassians came out of nowhere. They just started shooting when tried to open a communications channel to them." "They are getting bolder and more hungry for Bajoran blood." Commented Captain Tennor from his ship. "If your warp drives are intact, set course for Starbase Twelve. I'll meet you there in a day or two. I need to go ask help from an old friend. Do me a favor, don't wait up for me. Make sure you dispatch reports on the Cardassian activity lately and pass it along to every vessel of ours. We lost another five ships this morning."



Planet Rhydin. Star's End Spaceport.



Bajoran Captain Paul Solonis sat in the bar waiting for his contact to show. The usual were about. Drifters, smugglers, pirates possibly and bounty hunters. Of course there were some decent folk just looking for a drink or work gathered at well.

The Cardassian Scientist turned Rogue entered through the sliding door and made her way directly for Captain Solonis. Wasting little time she sat down next to him on a chair and leaned in to talk quietly. "You have a problem. Seems those of the Cardassian Order are trying to make a treaty with some nasty Klingons and Andorians." Captain Solonis shifted some in his chair as he glanced about the bar before turning his gaze aside toward the Cardassian woman, Gilora Reborjin. "Which Klingons" With the Nexus and the play of so many wormholes lately to other galaxies and dimensions, well, it's hard to keep track you know."

"General Daxos, The Sisters, you know the lot." Solonis blinked some and shook his head slightly. "General Daxos would hunt and kill anyone. He's as cold as the Klingons come from Dimension 128. What of the Andorians" Who have they spoken too' The Cardassians I mean of course." Gilora glanced about the tables nearby and then back at Solonis. "Captain Andromeda, Taritha, Teccore, Nerra and Jolstor of 117 met with three Cardassians. A Rustin, Alcor and Dukolis. Pran, was also there I hear. That's a high level officer. If the Cardassians open their space stations for re-supplying of the Klingon and Andorian vessels you will have a hard time passing any Bajoran ship through the usual shipping lanes in space. Let alone any of your destroyers."

Solonis rubbed a hand at his chin and then tapped a fingertip to the table before him. "The Cardassians will use the Klingons of 128 and the Andorians of 117 to hunt our ships down. They won't have to send their ships out to find ours, the other two factions will find us for them. Cardassian lives spared. No doubt they could care less how many Klingons of 128 or Andorians of 117 die taking Bajorans out."

Gilora glanced to her communicator and the message displayed before tucking the device back into a pocket hidden upon her uniform. "I have to go. I need to make it to Frontier Station by tomorrow. Tell your Bajoran friends to watch themselves. Stay clear of any Klingon ship identified as from Dimension 128 or Andorian ship from Dimension 117." As Gilora moved to stand Solonis put a hand out to her arm as he looked upwards at her.

"Why are you doing this" You were from Dimension 128. Did they wrong you so deeply that you seek justice in some way?" Gilora glanced at Solonis' hand and as he withdrew it from her arm she gave a tilt of her head downward at him. "Yes. They did wrong me. I seek not justice though. I seek revenge in any way I can get it. If spilling military secrets across the galaxy is such a way, I'll take it. If planting a bomb at one of their shipyards or at a re-supply station of theirs, I'll take it. I will take my revenge for being wronged any way I can, Captain Solonis. Justice is justice, but revenge is sweeter. An old lover once said that to me. Not until I was wronged by own people did the meaning really sink in. Walk quietly among the stars, Captain Solonis. Though be sure to make a big boom when you strike forth against those that would do you wrong."

As with all Galaxies and Dimensions, there is that of Good and Evil. Light against the Dark and vice versa. Some Dimensions hold that of what you would call 'good' Vulcans and Humans. Other Dimensions would hold that of the exact opposite. With each Dimension the possibilities are endless.

So was the truth for those venturing forth from the Wormhole that had opened up like a distant gateway from Dimension 117. Where the Andorians and Vulcans were quite cruel and conquerors of many, the Klingons were in fact the righteous force of good upon that Dimension.

Klingon Captain Kern held no expression upon his face. His Attack Cruiser had just destroyed two pirate vessels that felt the supply convoy his ship was guarding, was easy prey. When the Klingon Attack Cruiser de-cloaked, the pirate ships were stunned to find such a large ship protecting the convoy and had little time to warp out of the system or put up much of a fight. Klingon disruptor cannons cut the pirate ships to pieces.

"That, was hardly worth our time. Convoy protection. General Darloth needs to get his head out from between his legs and send us for a worthy foe. There has to be someone in this galaxy causing some wrong, that we can right." "Captain, General Darerif is trying to contact us." Kern looked over and perked an eye ridge. "Put him through."

The side view screen onboard Kern's bridge came to life with a long, gray haired Klingon holding a metal goblet upon his right hand.

"Captain Kern. I trust convoy duty hasn't made you old and weak." Kern didn't give any expression to the General. "No, it has not. Though I feel a smaller vessel of ours could deal with escorting convoy ships, General." "So do I." Commented Darerif. Kern was curious of this response.

"Captain Kern. From a spy we've heard of a possible alliance of the Andorians and Vulcans of Dimension 117 and the Cardassians of this galaxy. Those of Dimension 132 seem busy with the revenge being taken upon their forces due to their misguided attack on Frontier Station sometime ago. The fools are losing more ships and space stations then the Borg Revolt over forty-seven years ago in our own galaxy. Heh, now that was a fun hunting. Once your convoy reaches it's destination, I'm sending you to meet up with Captain Pegara and Worthin. The three of you should be able to handle the mission I plan on sending you upon." Kern became curious what this, mission, could be about. "You're not sending Captain Kovore?" General Darerif shook his head with a sweep of long gray locks against his broad shoulders. "No. I have him off hunting down Orion cruisers with Captain Roxanna. Not to worry, your group of three will meet up with them down the path, so to speak. If that Vulcan Morvek or that horrid woman Morsilla cross your path do me a favor."

Captain Kern gave a tilt of his head to the side slightly. "That being, General?"

"Break their necks."

"I'm sure that can be arranged, General."

Fleet Admiral Timothy Marcus was just about to eat an early breakfast, having been up all night going over reports when a coded transmission came to his ship.

"Admiral" Secure transmission for you." "Put it through to my ready room, lieutenant."

Marcus leaned over his desk to turn the view screen at the far left side toward him better. Captain Zoran, appeared upon the screen. "Zoran, I'm tired and busy. I don't have time to listen to your glory stories of old." "I come to you with information, not stories, Marcus." The Admiral put down fork and knife to the plate before him, having not touched his breakfast yet. "How much will this cost me?" "Not too much for an Admiral of your stature. My ship happens to be low on torpedoes and food." "If the information is good, Zoran, I'll send you a freighter full of torpedoes and food."

Captain Zoran rubbed his fingertips along the dark beard at his face. "It would seem you have a traitor or two among your fleet." Marcus sat back in his chair with a sigh. "Yeah, yeah, tell me something I don't know."

"You don't know who it is. I do."

Marcus was looking over at a piece of artwork upon a wall in his ready room, when his head turned back toward the screen. "You do, hm?" Zoran nodded his head slowly toward the screen. "Yes, I do. I have the names of two, with the possibility of finding more for you." Marcus leaned forward in his chair toward the small view screen on his desk. "Zoran, you deliver me those names and I'll send you two freighters of torpedoes and food to stuff your ship to the bulk-heads with." Zoran actually perked a brief smile at his lips, then gone just as quick. "I'll transmit where the freighters can meet my vessel. I would appreciate it deeply if you came yourself for the information, Admiral. Do hurry though. They are planning to do something big I've found out. I have some codes for you. I would be more then happy to give them to you upon your ship's arrival in meeting my own."

"Transmit where to meet you. My ship will be there."

Archimedes wasn't one for surprises, but he felt things were somewhat safe and allowed his daughter Adrienne to lead him by the hand through Frontier Station for what she deemed as a good view port to look out from.

"Are your eyes still closed, father?" Archimedes gave a tired sigh of breath at this walking about with his eyes closed, he was being a good sport. "Yes. They have been closed my dear. Are you trying to surprise me by making me exercise" You know I do use the large gym onboard this station at times." Adrienne couldn't help but smirk, drawing her father toward a set of large windows. "Okay, you can open them finally."

Archimedes gave a blink of his eyes briefly and gazed outward into space and the main sections of the station outside. "You know, I have seen the outside of the station." Adrienne laughed gently and gave her father a light punch in the shoulder. She was her father's daughter after all. "No father! Take a look over there!" She pointed toward one of the docking ports to the station and a unique ship currently receiving a refit of repairs it seemed.

"It's a C Class Light Cruiser. However, she is currently being refitted and will be labeled more so as a Cruiser once finished. Eighteen phaser banks. Two forward and two aft torpedo launchers. Tomorrow she's getting her 'acquired' Romulan Cloaking Device installed. Harder to detect her even when cloaked. She'll go about Warp nine point six for twelve hours and she has a unique shuttle bay that is located just before the bridge part of the ship. On the forward part of the saucer section. Course, she's going through refits for her systems and should only require about maybe two hundred for a crew once the automated systems are online."

Archimedes perked a brow at the vessel and then his daughter. "Who's is it?"

Adrienne birthed the most beautiful smile upon her lips as she half turned toward her father. "She's yours, father. Captain Hildon, you remember Linda, right' She came across this ship damaged and a drift in space. One of the less traveled star systems apparently and I might have mentioned how you needed a new ship."

Archimedes looked from his daughter outward toward the ship in dock once more. The ship had a saucer section and then a pod like section below it with two narrow, almost wing like structures, connected to a long port and starboard nacelle. She looked to be over three hundred meters long with gray and faint blue coloring.

"That's my new ship?" Inquired Archimedes to his daughter. Adrienne gave a light bit of laughter and nodded her head, long locks of dark hair spilled over the shoulders of her nearly jet black long sleeve shirt she was wearing. "Yes, it is yours. The repairs and upgrades are taken care of. At no cost to you. I contacted Captain Roberts and you know how Cat adores you so she put funds into the pot, so to speak. I then talked to Captain Belafonti and he said he'd love to pay you back some for all the times you've helped him. Of course Linda wanted to donate some stuff for the upgrades and when I spoke with the Pirate Princess Eldara, well that green skinned woman sent not only funds for the upgrades but helped supply the ship with all the torpedoes she needs. Free of charge. Well, sort of. She said you have to 'meet' up with her in the near future." Adrienne gave a wink at her father. Teasing him lightly for the women across the galaxy that adore him. "That Cardassian, you know, the one I actually like" Gilora Reborjin" She helped with some funds and also donated medical supplies for the ship. That Nausicaan Captain Tarik, he donated a whole load of hand phasers and rifles. I think you could have two for each crew member honestly. Of course I spoke with Christian and Kathryn, can't leave my siblings out of it. They both helped with parts for engineering. Your new ship will go a tad faster then their ships are able to. Well, that includes mine as well I suppose father. And I did get a hold of Kimberly, can't leave my half sister out of this venture. She helped me acquire the cloaking device for the ship."

Archimedes smirked some at his daughter. "You two acquired, the device?" Adrienne smiled sweet at her father as she clasped her hands behind her back, innocent like. "Of course. Would we take something with out it being free or paying for it?" Archimedes laughed gently then with a nod of his head. "You two would, if it was meant for your father. Which I happen to be. I still remember being uncertain when I brought Kimberly home after her mother died. I didn't know if you and the others would like her. I realized shortly there after though, that you had accepted your half sister fully into the family when I found the two of you had stolen that shuttle craft and had headed to that resort planet." Adrienne smiled brightly and gave a tilt of her head slightly to the side. "We were young and didn't know." Archimedes pointed a finger at her as his smirk held to his lips. "You two were barely twelve. I wanted to be angry with both of you when I caught up with you on that planet. I had to admit though, you two were pretty amazing with not only taking that shuttle from the spaceport but navigating to that planet and then landing the ship with out a scratch upon it's hull. Not to mention how you two were able to some how trick the resort staff that you were daughters of an Ambassador that was staying there. The staff gave you access to a luxury suite."

Adrienne's smile deepened some. She moved to step next to her father and slide an arm around his waist as she leaned in for a side hug. "As I recall, you decided to pretend to be that Ambassador we told the staff about. The three of us spent the whole week there enjoying things. I loved that. Just the three of us. I got to know my half sister Kimberly better. She wasn't just some girl with spots on her because she was a Trill. Honestly though, I don't really think of her as my half sister, father. She's my sister, period." Archimedes slid his arm around his daughter, nodding gently from his height. "I am happy you all got along growing up. And now it seems I owe quite a few for this....large gift I see in dock to the station here."

Adrienne poked her father in the side with her fingertips. "No. You don't owe any of us. We all chipped in to fix up and refit this ship for you and your crew. It's our gift. You can't pay for a gift, father. That retired Klingon General, the Governor of Frontier Station here" He said you always have a home here to dock this ship. Free of charge. You two go way back, don't you?" Archimedes nodded a bit and gave his daughter a half hug from the side with his one arm about her. "Yes. We were fighting bounty hunters and mercenaries long before you and your siblings were born. From one side of this galaxy to the other. He's one of the good ones, Adrienne. It is important to find those that you can trust." Adrienne nudged her head into her father's shoulder some. She was like her siblings, tough as they came, but she adored her father and would no doubt fight a group of Gorn to protect him. "I recall the stories you and him used to tell us kids. The Adventures you two had. I hope to find someone someday that I can share adventures with as well." Adrienne gave a light shake of her head and motioned toward the large view port window. "Her name is being put on the saucer section it looks like."

Archimedes shifted his gaze out the window toward the ship. "That name being?"

Adrienne smiled and gave a nod toward the ship in dock. "Zenovia III. I figured, why change to something else. She'll be the third ship with that name. Maybe try to keep a hold on this one for a while though, father."

Archimedes smiled and nodded out the view port window toward the ship. "I'll do my best, daughter of mine."

Seven Cardassian Galor Class vessels waited by the large moon of Osanta II. They were to meet up with Andorian ships of Andorians of Dimension 117. Talks for a light treaty were to be in order.

Twelve ships exited warp. Though they were not of the Andorians the Cardassians were supposed to meet. These ships were early and they opened fire on the Cardassian ships with phasers and torpedoes as soon as they were in range.

"This is Captain Solonis to fleet, engage all enemy vessels. Don't let them get behind you. Work in the groups two we spoke of."

Though not as new as the Cardassian ships, the Bajoran Alliance ships were faster at impulse power and working together they made up for what they lacked. Two Cardassian vessels were knocked out of the fight nearly right away. A bounty of torpedoes from the Bajoran Destroyers impacted to their engineering sections and bridges.

"This is Maylna, all ships engage warp out of the system and for our Outpost!" Her Cardassian ship came about in a turn and sustained further damage from two Bajoran ships which made her vessel's shielding drop on the port side down to twenty-seven percent. "Engage warp!"

As Maylna's ship made the jump into warp, the inexperienced Cardassian that had just obtained command of a ship, Kimandra, lost her weapon systems and shields just prior to making the jump to warp speed. Another Cardassian ship would make the escape to warp but the remaining two vessels would find themselves being pounded by torpedoes as the Bajoran destroyers hammered away at them. When the Cardassian ships lost their shields, it was all over.

Captain Solonis smiled onboard his Bajoran destroyer. "All craft, set course for meeting point and engage warp."

Meanwhile, near the large moon named Dent Moon 155. Named due to the impacts to the moon from the surrounding asteroid belt.

Four Vulcan Assault Cruisers from Dimension 117 were waiting just outside the asteroid belt by the large moon of the system. They might be cruel in their Dimension, but they were still Vulcans. The meeting with the Cardassians was not for another half hour so they were waiting in this system void of much life.

"Captain Morvek to other vessels. We will depart for the meeting point with the Cardassians in fifteen minutes from now. Better to be early then arrive right when we said we would. There should be no issue. However ensure your shielding systems and weapons are at the ready when we arrive."

Three Vor'cha Attack Cruisers de-cloaked suddenly above the Vulcan Cruisers. The Klingon forward disruptor cannons opened fire with out warning and three of the Vulcan ships took heavy damage before shields were raised upon two of the Vulcan ships. The third ship that had been hit, her shields failed and a pair of torpedoes ended the life of that Vulcan crew.

The Vulcan Cruisers quickly tried to move into impulse power. Their phaser banks firing off at the much larger Klingon Attack Cruisers. "This is Captain Kern, there will be no alliance with the Cardassians for you. As I speak, they have already met with an attack fleet of ships as of several minutes ago. My advice to you is to tuck your pointed ears between your legs and go back home." Captain Kern's Klingon Cruiser fired several of it's disruptor cannons upon one of the heavily damaged Vulcan ships. Aft shields failed and the Klingon Captain Pegara, moved in with her cruiser to open fire upon the vessel. Her ship slammed disruptor fire into the aft section and starboard side of the Vulcan cruiser. The ship's starboard support structure and warp nacelle blew away from the rest of the Vulcan ship. Klingon Captain Worthin's vessel fired off a torpedo at the bridge of the ship, impacting with a deck shattering explosion through the vessel.

Captain Morvek's Vulcan Cruiser fired off four torpedoes from the forward launchers at the Klingon Captain Worthin's port side. Impacting his ship and firing away with phaser banks before Morvek's ship was hit by several hard disruptor impacts. "I know that's you, Morvek. I am going to wipe the stars with your blood." Morvek realized by the voice that it was Kern. He'd lost six fellow captains to Kern's ship in past engagements. In numbers, the Vulcan Attack Cruisers could cause some serious damage. Given their current situation Morvek decided it was best to depart rather then stay and fight.

"Morvek to remaining ships, best choice of action is to escape to warp." As his ship took disruptor fire to the port side, causing shields to drop to thirty-two percent, his ship then went into warp.

Another Vulcan cruiser tried to make the jump to warp speed but Captain Pergara ensured her doom as her ship pounded away at the Vulcan vessel with disruptor cannons and three fired torpedoes. Captain Worthin aided in the Vulcan ship's demise with a pair of torpedoes fired off from his ship as well. The resulting explosions from the Vulcan vessel were dazzling to say the least.

"I do like fireworks among the stars." Laughed Captain Pegara onboard her ship. "This is Kern. The fun is only starting. Set course for our next objective. Warp factor nine."

"Captain Hendricks to Captain Gardis."

Captain Samantha Gardis perked a brow but motioned her communications officer to open a channel. "This is Gardis, what do you need, Hendricks?" The short haired, but very dark haired, Captain Thomas Hendricks smiled as he sat back in his Captain's chair onboard the bridge of his Dimension 128 Cruiser. "Did you get a transmission from Captain Sancho asking if you needed anything" I mean, when are they going to let us be Captains of our own?" Gardis shook her head, blonde locks of hair spilling at her shoulders over her uniform. "Hendricks! They are just keeping track of us new Captains is all. Don't go and get all bent out of shape. We've only had our ships for a few months now. I think it's not so bad that Captain Sancho asked if things were all right. She's a good Captain and she cares about our fleet."

"I suppose, but what I wouldn't give to meet up with a Klingon ship from our dimension. I'd best them so bad they'd run back to our dimension and actually cry." Samantha Gardis shook her blonde head but laughed a bit listening to Hendricks on the communications system. "You know not all Klingons are bad, Hendricks. What are you gonna do when you meet a good one?" "Probably ask to buy them a drink" If other Klingons are tough like the ones from our dimension I would like to make as many of them my friend as possible. They would come in handy in a fight."

"Captain." Came the voice of a lieutenant onboard the bridge of Samantha Gardis' ship. "What is it lieutenant?" "I'm getting some odd readings off our starboard bow." Samantha looked toward the view screen and gave a motion of her hand. "Let's see what?s out there, lieutenant." The lieutenant tapped away at their console and the forward screen came to life. "Nothing but black space with stars, lieutenant. Hey, Hendricks" Are you picking up any unusual readings with your sensors?" Hendricks gave a look over at his operations officer onboard his ship. "She says we aren't getting any readings. Why?"

A D-7 Cruiser de-cloaked near Captain Gardis' ship. Opening fire with disruptor cannons before re-cloaking as it moved off.

"Red alert! Shields up!" Shouted Gardis to her bridge crew. Hendricks looked over at his tactical officer on board his ship and nodded toward him. "Shields up and ready the torpedoes!" No sooner had he spoke, another D-7 Cruiser de-cloaked and fired three disruptor shots at his ship. Impacting hard to the shielding. "Return fire!" Shouted Hendricks, but as his ship fired phasers, the cruiser had slipped away under the stealth of it's cloaking device once more.

Both D-7 Cruisers, though older in class, seemed to hold updated disruptor cannons. De-cloaking near Gardis' ship and both cruisers opening fire, one to her port and one to her starboard side. "Captain! Shields down to forty-one percent!" Gardis ship returned phaser fire and hit one of the attacking ships before it re-cloaked. The other ship moved off to fire a set of disruptors at Hendrick's vessel. Bridge crew not sitting, were knocked to the flooring with the hard hits to Hendrick's vessel's saucer section. "Sir! Shields weakening! Torpedo launchers not responding." Hendrick's held onto his Captain's chair so he didn't fall with the next volley of weapons fire hitting his ship. "Fire all phasers at that ship!"

De-cloaking again the second D-7 Cruiser fired two torpedoes at Hendrick's aft section. Targeting the engineering section of the ship. Gardis took a hard couple of hits again to her vessel's bow as the other D-7 boldly laid before her ship, as her ship's bow shielding was starting to fail.

Exiting warp came two Cruisers of Dimension 128. Veteran Captains Adam James and Isabelle Sancho didn't waste time as their ships opened fire upon the attackers. Forward torpedo launchers and phaser banks impacted to the shields of the D-7 Cruisers. A transmission came from one of the D-7's over the communication system. "We'll be back, kids."

Both D-7 Cruisers re-cloaked and disappeared. Captain James and Captain Sancho had their ships at the ready should the ship's de-cloak again. No further engagement would take place however. It seemed as though they had gone.

"This is Captain James, are you two all right?" "I have injured and my shields are banged up." Came Captain Gardis voice over the communication system. "Hendricks" You all right?" Inquired James. Hendricks took in a deep breath as a team put out a fire onboard his bridge by a console. "Shields were hit hard and torpedo launchers not responding to weapons control. My communications officer says we have injured being taken to sick bay and possibly two or three dead of the crew in engineering." "Start your damage teams where needed. Get shields and engines your first priority. Captain Sancho and I will help keep watch while you make some repairs and tend to wounded. Though I don't think they'll be back. They made themselves known and had their fun."

"Yeah well, next time I'll best those Klingons." Said Hendricks over the communication system. "Those weren't Klingons, Hendricks." Said Isabelle Sancho from her ship, as it took up a slow circling about the two damaged vessels. Keeping a watchful eye just in case. "That voice wasn't any Klingon. That was Lancaster." "Lancaster?" Asked Captain James. "You sure, Isabelle?" "I'd know that voice anywhere." Spoke Isabelle.

"Who the hell is Lancaster?" Asked Hendricks from his ship's damaged bridge. "Someone you are not ready to meet." Said Captain James as he shifted forward in his command chair onboard his ship. "Isabelle, send word to our mutual friend. I think he's on Frontier Station lately. Let him know Lancaster is back in the systems. And you know if he's here, so is Captain Cameron." Isabelle could be heard giving a curse under her breath over the communication system as she shook her head. A few strands of dark brown hair escaping from her pony tail at the back of her head. "Great, just great. I'll also send a coded transmission to the Admiral. He'll want to alert our ships in the area and surrounding systems."

"Who the hell is this Lancaster?" Came Hendrick's voice again over the communications system.

"Somebody you don't want to mess with, Hendricks." Said Captain James as he removed his glasses and rubbed hand over his face.

Captain Hoshi Balto of Dimension 132 was laying upon her bed in her quarters. Her ship was docked with a supply and technical vessel that was performing repairs around the clock.

Her uniform was laid over a chair's back. Settled to her side in bed with her right arm behind her pillow and her head propped up some. Her dark hair was down against the pillow and her shoulders. A few locks of hair laid to the tops of her breast a the sheet was barely covering them.

She was lost in thought. Sitting still while having your ship repaired was known to cause such. Her mind drifted to sometime ago. A time when she enjoyed, no, savored being around Archimedes Remus.

"That's for breaking dad's heart you wench." Hoshi spoke the words that she had heard Kimberly Remus, one of Archimdes daughters, say over the communication system during the battle. Hoshi shifted in her bed and pulled the dark sheets of near silk up to her neck. She had betrayed Archimedes to the enemy once and now she regretted it everyday since.

What if she had not given him up" What if she had not betrayed him and allowed him to walk into that ambush at the Star's End Spaceport so long ago' Would they still be together" Would he still care for her" Would she still find calm and be able to relax with in his strong arms"

That feeling. That feeling of being safe with someone. She'd never known that feeling with anyone else. Lately she wondered if she would ever feel like that again.

Sure The Empire of Dimension 132 had plenty of good looking Captains, strong ones too. Though none she felt were as strong as Archimedes Remus. There was just something about that Furyan man. She wondered if there were others like him about the systems and if she would ever meet another man from where he came from. A faint smile touched her lips as she recalled a memory with Archimedes on a beach. The sun was warm, the water cool and the Romulan Ale was savory.

Once and long ago, she carried their child. She had sadly lost the baby early in her pregnancy. Blaming herself and thinking she wasn't strong enough or good enough to carry a Furyan baby inside her. She was tough on the bridge of her ship. Dangerous and deadly in combat. Though she always seemed to crumble when Archimedes was around her. Her defenses dropped and his hands upon her body turned her into sweet honey every time. She missed those strong hands, that smile and his ability to speak of poems and adventures he'd been on in his life.

Hoshi blinked a couple times as the communication system in her quarters beeped. Shifting in bed and reaching over to a console to tap the system link on. "Yes" What is it now?"

"Captain, I have Fleet Admiral Marcus on a secure channel. He said it's urgent." Came a lieutenant's voice. Hoshi rubbed both her hands over her face and gave a sigh of breath. "Fine, put him through. Audio only!"

"This is Captain Hoshi Balto, to what do I owe this calling, Admiral?"

Admiral Marcus' voice came over the audio system. "Balto, get ready to make way for a job I have for you and several other Captains." Hoshi rubbed a couple fingers at her forehead. "Admiral, my ship is still under repair. I don't have torpedo control and my ship won't go past warp seven at the moment." "Balto, listen. I have information about who has been talking. Our stations have been hit due to insiders. I am sending you and the other Captains to catch these traitors in a trap. Your ship, as the others will have to continue repairs while underway. I'll tell the other Captains to not go beyond warp seven for you. I need you all to arrive together. I would like these traitors taken alive. However, if that isn't possible I want you and the others to kill them. Nobody insults The Empire and gets away with it. I'm having information dispatched to you in a coded transmission. You and the others are to keep quiet and meet me at the designated spot for the trap." Hoshi was quiet a moment before speaking again toward the communication system. "Understood, Admiral. I'll look over the information when it arrives." "Balto, I want these traitors. They cannot escape us."

The communication channel went silent as it disconnected from the Admiral's ship, wherever it was currently. Hoshi sat up some in her bed. Her quarters were dimly lit. Reaching over and tapping the console at the side of her bed again.

"Bridge, this is the Captain. Tell the supply ship to unload the items we need for further repairs and then to disengage from us. Admiral Marcus has a job for us to do."

The Vulcan Captain Slovac had his ship move in closer toward his daughter's cruiser. Things were proceeding as planned he felt. He had helped deliver hard blows to The Empire of Dimension 132 and soon he and his daughter Captain Valeris would be completely out of The Empire.

"Sir, Captain Valeris." Captain Slovac nodded ot his communications officer to put the communication through to the view screen. Captain Valeris was sitting with in her own command chair onboard her cruiser. A nod given toward her father through the use of the view screen. "Father. Are we nearly done with this venture" I grow tired of pretending to serve The Empire." Slovac smiled a bit and gave a nod of his head in turn from his bridge. "Soon my daughter. Captain Angelina Torres is going to meet us and together the last blow to The Empire will be had. After, we will leave. A secure exit is a must for us. She has acquired allies to aid us in our slipping free from The Empire. We will need them or we will not be allowed anywhere near Frontier Station. I for one, look forward to eating a real meal and not one made from a replicator. I'd rather not be attacked arriving at Frontier Station because of our Empire looking ships. Once we are free of The Empire, we can let others know and we will be welcomed about the systems. The Empire has hurt many. I believe we will find many allies to call friend in the future with our parting from The Empire's clutches." "I suppose you are correct, father." Spoke Valeris as she shifted with in her command chair to lean at the right side.

"What kind of real food, do they have at this Frontier Station?" Inquired Valeris as curiosity was getting the best of her. Slovac smiled. "I hear they have ships that bring fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and cheeses, even desserts to the station everyday. And the chocolate..." "They have chocolate?" Perked Valeris, shifting forward now in her command chair onboard her ship. Slovac couldn't help but grin a bit at his daughter upon the communication view screen. "Yes. Chocolate pies, cakes, muffins. Rich bars of milk chocolate and dark chocolate." Valeris lightly bit her bottom lip as she took in a slow breath, then let it out just as easy. "I think, I am going to like being out of The Empire, father."

"Your mother believes it would benefit you, to be on board my ship when it departs the station." Archimedes shifted into a lean against the wall with in the guest quarters of Shannon Jaxa. 

Shannon ran her hands over her face. A little rub of her fingertips to either side of her Bajoran looking nose. Giving a sigh and picking her head up as she sat back in one of two chairs at the little table in the guest quarters she had been assigned to while on Frontier Station. 

"She's doing the 'mother thing' again. I have grown up." Shannon sounded annoyed almost. "You know I can take care of myself." Archimedes perked a slow smile across his lips. "Yes. I've heard you are quite good at hand to hand combat simulations on the holo deck. Have you ever had to fight though in the real world?" Shannon glanced over toward her father. She had a hard time remembering when she had seen him last. Was she ten, or twelve years of age" She was in her mid twenties now. Stubborn at times. Be it an acquired trait from her Bajoran mother or Furyan father.

"I punched a Cardassian once. Knocked him to the ground too." She muttered then under her breath. "Bastard hurt my hand though."

Archimedes perked a brow but laughed lightly then with a nod of his head. "Well it has been said that they are hard headed." Shannon couldn't help but let the smile rise to her lips at that remark. "Heh, literally. So, um, what exactly would I be doing on board your new ship I've seen docked at the station here?" Archimedes took a brief pause before speaking. He was enjoying seeing his daughter's smile. He didn't show it, but there was a brief moment of sadness touching his thoughts. He had missed a lot of her growing up. Last he had seen of her she had short shoulder length hair. Now, her strawberry blonde hair was down past her shoulders and laid against her back. She had grown into a beautiful young woman and he missed the transformation from child to adult. 

"You'll of course learn all parts of being on board a star ship. I understand you have some experience, but I will ensure you know them like the back of your hand and that things come to you as reflex. I believe I will have you start off at the Helm of my ship. With of course practice at the Tactical station." Shannon perked her brows at that. "I can blow things up?" Her smile, was returning. Archimedes smiled in turn. "I am sure that can be arranged. Who knows, maybe we can find us a Cardassian ship to play with." Shannon's smile turned near grin at that. "I'd like that. So, when do we leave?" Archimedes pushed off from the wall lightly. "About one hour. Pack what you need. You will have your own quarters on board of course. We can test your skills at the Helm right away. Oh and I expect us to continue our spar matches on the ship's holo deck."

Shannon laughed lightly over at her father. "I'm not twelve anymore. I have learned some skills in recent years." Archimedes smiled with a soft nod of his head. "Oh good. I like a challenge."

A Cruiser of Dimension 132 exited warp near a some what stable Nebula near by a Class M Planet with two Moons. The Vulcan Captain motioned his communications officer to open a channel. "This is Captain Slovac, took a side route but we are finally here." "Took you long enough, father." Came a reply from Captain Valeris' ship, which was in high orbit of the planet along with Captain Angelina Torres and her vessel.

"Soon we will be free of the Empire and able to..." Captain Slovac's words paused as his tactical officer started to talk about ships exiting warp into the system.

"This is Admiral Marcus, prepare to be boarded. Resistance will result in your destruction."

There was no pause for surrender however. The ships under the Admiral's command closed in quick and opened fire with their phaser banks to remove of the traitors and their crews. "You will pay for the damage you have caused to the Empire with your lives!"

Captain Torres didn't waste time and her vessel opened fire at the attacking cruisers. Phaser banks and torpedo launchers hammered away at one of the Admiral's escort ships, while Captain Valeris' ship traded phaser fire with two cruisers. Sparks flew on board her ship as torpedoes impacted. "Status?" "Captain port shields down to thirty-two percent. One of the torpedo launchers is down and warp drive is off line."

Captain Slovac's ship found itself busy as well. Admiral Marcus and two other escort cruisers had nearly surrounded Slovac and his crew. Phasers banks pounded into Slovac's vessel. "Betray the Empire will you! I will end you and your pathetic daughter and her friend!" Shouted Marcus over the communication system.

"Captain! We are losing forward shields! Aft shields down to twenty percent! Warp and torpedo launchers are off line Sir!" Captain Slovac narrowed his gaze at the view screen at the front of the bridge. They were out numbered and with out warp drive, chance of an escape was diminishing.

"Fire again dammit!" Shouted Captain Torres from her cruiser. Her starboard nacelle took heavy damage and the pylon blew free from the support arm. "Captain shields are fluctuating and we just lost phaser control! I'm detecting ships exiting warp!" Captain Torres smiled faintly. "So this is how it ends."

The ships exiting warp were however not that of Dimension 132, but of Dimension 145. The more advanced ships held ten dual phaser emitter banks, six single phaser emitters, four forward torpedo launchers and two aft torpedo launchers. Not to mention their shielding was better rated then those of Dimension 132.

"This is Admiral Walter Pavel. You have ten seconds to stop your attack and warp from this system or we will open fire."

Two of the Empire Cruisers came about and opened fire at the Dimension 145 ships. A fools mistake. As more ships exited from warp, the number grew to fifteen under Admiral Pavel's command. "I will take that as a no." Was the simple comment over the communication system from Pavel. The ships under his command returned fire upon the Empire ships. Though, they didn't seem to be targeting the three defector ships that come under attack by the Empire.

One, two, three, Empire cruisers were knocked out of the fight. It was their turn to be out numbered and in this case, out gunned. Admiral Pavel's ship opened fire upon Admiral Marcus' vessel which shook the crew from the heavy assault of their shields and starboard side. "Admiral Marcus! We have lost starboard phaser banks and the torpedoes are not responding Sir!" Marcus gritted his teeth as he looked at the forward view screen. There was Admiral Pavel's ship. Hitting his harder then he had anticipated. "Helm, set course for Base Thetta. Signal the other ships to engage warp. I won't have that man be the end of me. Not this day."

Slowly one by one, the Empire cruisers came about and entered warp to escape the fire fight that had been turned out of their favor. Not all would make it however. Two ships trying to jump to warp speed were pounded by multiple torpedoes from several Dimension 145 ships. As power faded and life support became iffy, the Federation of Dimension 145 finished the ships off. However it was not before many survivors were beamed over to take as prisoners.�

"Admiral Pavel to Defecting ships of the Empire. How may we assist you?"

"This is Captain Slovac of the Balao. Assist us?"

"Yes." Came Admiral Pavel's reply from his ship. "Captain Archimedes Remus said you might need some help. He regrets to not be here himself but he had other matters to attend to." Captain Slovac blinked and looked about his damaged bridge. "Our ships took heavy damage, Admiral." Admiral Pavel smirked some on board his ship. "I'll have my ships lock on tractor beams and we'll see if we can't tow you some where for repairs. Have you the other ships with you make a list of what is needed before we make a station. My ships can beam over repair supplies and medical aid."

"Admiral" What course should we set?" Admiral Pavel smiled some with a nod of his head over at his Helm officer. "We will have to take it slow, their ships have taken quite the beating. Set course for Frontier Station. It will take us a little longer but we'll make it there where they can have their ships docked for the no doubt major repairs they need. Tactical" I want that report we received prior to heading this way. Captain Ginnis said he found evidence of someone attacking along the border systems."

Archimedes

Captain Scott Ginnis was a newer Captain of The Federation of Dimension 145. His Heavy Cruiser was investigating reports of ships being attacked along several border systems. His first command and he was nervous. Though he tried to hide it from the crew. 

"What have our scans shown?"

"Captain, we have found a large variety of ships, or rather what used to be ships. They are more drifting hunks with holes and pieces missing from them. I have identified some of the debris. So far I've detected Cardassian ships, Klingon vessels possibly from Dimension 128, some pirate ships that were on the wanted list, a few former freighters and at least five former Dimension 132 cruisers. No signs of life. I've also scanned the second planet and the star port shows no signs of life either Sir. It doesn't look like all the ships were here at once. I believe the ships were hit as they passed along this known trade route. I have identified what appears to be disruptor fire on many of the drifting wreckage. As the ships came along this route it must of been some sort of ambush."

Captain Ginnis rolled his hands together as he sat back in his command chair upon the bridge. "Send a transmission to Captain Bennet and Admiral Pavel. Include what you've found and ask the Admiral for orders. Until his reply we will continue our scans and monitor ship traffic through this section of space."

"Understood Sir." Came the officer's reply. "Captain I am picking up a distress call. It seems to be from a transport freighter. They are under attack and are requesting aid."

Captain Ginnis tapped his fingertips together briefly and took a breath. "Okay. Let's set course to intercept and try to lend them a hand. Maybe we've found whoever has been attacking ships along this route. Helm lay in course and engage."

Captain Morgan Bateman was a Veteran Captain of The Federation of Dimension 145. He had made just as many enemies as he had friends in his career as a Captain. 

Currently his Heavy Cruiser was in orbit of a planet with a small space port and city. The planet was mostly land with one large ocean. Mining had proven successful on the planet with a large amount of metals needed through out the galaxy. Captain Bateman's ship was transporting down medical supplies to the city's hospital. 

"There, that should help you until that freighter arrives with the medical supplies you ordered." Said Captain Bateman to the view screen upon his bridge. The woman on the screen was on the planet and she smiled. "Yes, thank you, Captain. We were running dangerously low and your help is appreciated. Mora out."

The screen went blank and Captain Bateman looked over at his helm officer. "Helm, set course for.."

"Pardon Captain but I am receiving a priority message from Admiral Bensen."

Captain Bateman nodded. "Put it through, lieutenant."

The view screen lit up with images of what appeared to be the bridge of Admiral John Bensen's heavy cruiser. Fire was seen behind him with officers trying to put it out as sparks flew off from the Admiral's left side and a bulk head there. "This is Admiral Bensen to all available ships. Requesting immediate help at the following coordinates. Tactical put the coordinates through! We are taking heavy casualties from our attackers and...."

The transmission went dead. 

"Try to get him back. Helm do you have the coordinates?"

"Yes, Captain. They are along a trade route that has seen it's share of destroyed ships lately, Sir."

"Helm set course and engage warp nine. Tactical, shields up. Red Alert."

Archimedes

Date: 2018-06-12 06:42 EST
Captain Batemen's heavy cruiser exited warp on red alert status. Her phasers were at the ready, as were that of her torpedo launchers. He would find several other Federation ships of Dimension 145 had recently arrived as well.

Captain Lawrence Houser, Captain Maxwell Odin, new Captains Phillip Bradley and Edward Rhodes along with that of Captain Betty Sinclair and Captain Margaret Billings. 

"Open a channel. This is Captain Batemen."

"Captain Batemen this is Captain Billings. There is a bounty of wreckage here in orbit of this moon. Batemen, it's the Admiral's ship. Along with the three escorts that were with her. So far scans show disruptor impact points to what is left of the ships hulls. All of us are currently at red alert with torpedoes armed. We haven't detected any threat as of yet however. Perhaps they have moved on. The Admiral was responding with his escorts to the station that was in orbit here. What's left of it. Seems they sent out a distress call after being attacked with out warning. Whoever it was, took out the station, the Admiral and his escort cruisers."

Batemen rubbed a hand at his light beard. "If you, or the others haven't already, we best try to contact Admiral Doohan or Admiral Pavel. I'll start sending alerts to our stations in the nearby sector along with letting our allies know this route should be off limits for now, considering."

Far off from the Federation ships of Dimension 145, laid a cloaked attack cruiser keeping watch at a safe distance. It's Captain tapped a clawed fingertip against the arm rest of his chair.

Date: 2018-07-13 21:08 EST
Captain John Stockton of The Empire of Dimension 132, was testing his ship's newly replaced forward torpedo launchers. The last two launchers had been badly damaged upon his ship's last fight. Reluctantly Captain Hoshi Balto was testing her own ship's weapon systems against a void waste land of a planet. Firing the phaser banks and several torpedoes from the forward launch system.

She disliked Captain Stockton with a passion. At one time thinking him the greatest thing since ice cream, she had long ago shifted her sights to bigger and more arousing things. Like a certain Furyan male. "Captain, we've concluded the testing of our replaced weapon systems." Spoke the tactical officer on the bridge. "Hm' Oh, yes well...log it into the computer and let's set course to slip from this system before Captain Stockton wants to play simulated war games."

"Captain" I had something on my scope for a moment. It's gone now though." Captain Balto perked a slender brow over at her tactical officer. "Had what?" "I'm not sure ma'am. Possible ship, but there is nothing there now." Hoshi considered this tiny bit of information. "Open a channel to Captain Stockton's ship."

"This is Captain Stockton, something you need help with, Hoshi?" Captain Stockton would answer from the bridge of his ship, in his usual arrogant way with a smile. Captain Hoshi Balto shook her head and laid her hands against each hip. "Cool your warp nacelles, Stockton. We picked up a possible ship in the area. Have you detected any possible vessels" I'm thinking maybe a ship going to and from cloak and back again." Stockton looked over at his tactical officer. The man shook his head and Stockton turned his gaze back at the view screen. "We haven't detected anything. Still chasing ghosts, Hoshi?" "Screw you." Commented Captain Balto right back at Captain Stockton. Her eyes narrowed at the view screen and she was about to say something further when her tactical officer spoke.

"Captain, I have three ships de-cloaking and heading toward us fast from our starboard side!" "Red Alert!" Shouted Captain Hoshi Balto. Captain Stockton's tactical officer spoke up toward him then. "Sir I have two ships de-cloaking off our port side and moving in quick!" "Well...looks like the woman was right. Bring us about to face them and ready the torpedoes. Get me a target lock with phasers."

Heavy disruptor fire impacted Captain Balto's ship at the starboard saucer section. "Return fire!" Shouted Captain Balto. "Turn us at the lead ship and open fire with phasers!" While Balto was dealing with it's three attackers, Stockton's ship was exchanging fire with the two vessels attacking his ship. 

"Torpedoes fire! I want a steady fire of phasers on the ship to the right. I want those ships identified." Disruptor fire slammed into the bow saucer section of Captain Stockton's cruiser. "Captain bow shielding is down twenty percent." "Tactical, target the wing section of that unknown craft...fire torpedoes!"

There was a weakening in the attacking ship's shielding and Stockton took full advantage of it by having his ship fire another volley of torpedoes from the forward pair of launchers. Along with striking phaser fire the enemy vessel's right wing was blown clear of it's hull to fly off into the blackness of space. "That'll make them think twice..." Before Captain Stockton could finish his sentence the other unknown ship was attacking fiercely with it's heavy disruptor cannons. Stockton's ship shook from the hard impact. "Helm set course for Dux Station. We'll pick up some friendly ships there if they chose to follow us. Engage warp seven."

"Captain, The Ragnar just went to warp." Commented the helm officer on board Captain Hoshi Balto's ship. "Damn that man! Just like him to leave to save his own..." Just then torpedoes struck her ship at the starboard side. "Engineering has been hit! Emergency doors closing to seal off affected areas, Captain." The ship shook again by multiple weapons impact points. "Captain, starboard shields are down to sixteen percent. Bow shields down to thirty-two percent. Aft shields weakening." "Turn us at the attacking ships!" Shouted Balto. "Dispatch a distress call and fire on that damn ship to our port!" As she spoke of the ship in question, it fired off seven of it's disruptor cannons to pound into the port side of Captain Balto's ship at the saucer section. With three torpedoes suddenly impacting to the same spot, a large section of the saucer blew free from the ship to expose several decks to space. "Hull breach...emergency doors trying to close. Failing on four decks, Captain!"

As Captain Hoshi Balto's ship was losing the fight with the unknown vessels closing in on her, little attention was paid to three ships de-cloaking behind the vessels attacking Balto's ship. The new ships introduced themselves with a volley of torpedoes at the attacking vessels. Followed by Phaser fire from one of the ships and disruptor fire from the other two. 

Taken off guard, two of the attacking ships fell prey to weapons impacts to their aft sections and under sides. Not letting up, the Centaur class vessel with it's Bird of Prey Klingon allies continued to fire upon the damaged ships until systems started to fail upon the attacking vessels. As Captain Balto's ship was moving crew to escape pods to flee the badly damaged vessel, the remaining unknown ships exited the system as they went to warp.

Fires were plaguing Balto's ship. The engineering section was non-responsive and multiple decks were on fire. As men fled the bridge of Balto's ship, she was suddenly swept up in a transporter beam. Disappearing from the burning bridge of her ship as the helm station blew up. 

The modified Centaur class vessel and the two Klingon Bird of Prey ships, slid into cloak and would disappear from the system before any of Dimension 132 would arrive.

Captain Hoshi Balto was out of it for a while. When she finally was able to sit up on the simple platform she was laying upon, she found herself in a holding cell. The force field could barely be seen by the large entrance way to the cell. She rubbed her hands over her face before pulling her hair back to gather up into a loose ponytail. A few dark strands cascaded downward over her right brow as they escaped.

"You usually, aren't one to sleep so long. Least, that is how I remember you." Came the depth of a voice beyond her security cell.

Hoshi held her breath a moment before releasing. Lifting her head to peer outward from her cell at that voice. That voice, she knew that voice. "Archimedes..." She whispered past her lips, as she spotted him in a lean against the wall near the doors to the brig that she seemed to be with in.

"Ah, you remember. I of course, remember you. Though it is hard to forget those that betray you in life. Especially when so much trust, was once given." Hoshi's face drew a frown as she looked downward at the flooring with in her security cell. "I can understand you being upset still. If it was me you wanted to punish there was no reason to attack my ship. You could of just..." She was cut off by Archimedes then. "I, did not attack your ship. Actually, you could say I aided in saving you and allowing escape pods of your vessel head off in wait for others of your Dimension to find them. I could of used the escape for target practice, but I didn't. Before you go inquiring a thousand questions, no, I do not know who attacked you. Though you are not the first to be attacked by this unknown threat."

"I made a mistake." Spoke Hoshi. "I made the wrong choice."

"Yes, you did."

"So, I'm your prisoner now?" Inquired Hoshi as she looked over toward Archimedes lean. "For the moment. Until we have time to pass a spaceport or space station that we can leave you at. I'm sure you can find your own way home from there. Though Dorn did suggest we simply blow you out an airlock." Hoshi did perk a slight smirk at that. "Dorn" He never did like me." Archimedes lifted a hand and gave a light shake of his index finger. "He never liked the military of Dimension 132. You, he simply did not trust."

"I'm sorry I screwed up." Hoshi commented as she stood up from the platform for sleeping upon in her security cell. Archimedes pushed away from the wall where he had been leaning. "We all have Sins. Some of us just learn to live with them better. I have some matters to attend to. Food and water will be provided in a few hours time." Turning upon the heel of his dark boot and moving for the double security doors to exit the brig.

"Do you forgive me?" Questioned Hoshi as she watched him head to leave.

"Somethings, my dear, are better to try and forget." The large doors would close after Archimedes stepped through them and in turn Hoshi sat back down to the platform at the wall behind her.

Bridge. Centaur Class Refit - Zenovia III.



Archimedes Remus stepped off the turbo lift as the doors opened and onto the bridge of his vessel with a look over at the Klingon and long time ally, Dorn. "Status?" Dorn gave a nod of his head. "The ships that had attacked, 'her' vessel, were similar to that of a Romulan class star ship. However, given the volume of wormholes from other dimensions it is hard to determine if they were actually Romulan. There are far too many mercenary and pirate groups operating and more then eager to acquire damaged ships to rebuild to their needs. I checked with coded transmissions to a few allies of ours and so far, they do not know who this new threat could be. Though given they have attacked those of Dimension 132, perhaps they are our allies as well."

Archimedes nodded lightly to this bit of information. "No doubt they will turn up again. Our prey for this evening?" Dorn drew a smile across his dark lips. "We've been following for over an hour now. It has paid off. A shipyard was picked up on our sensors a few minutes ago." Archimedes smiled. "On screen."

The man at the helm chair tapped a finger to the console before him. The forward large view screen came to life and showed that of a Cardassian Galor Class vessel ahead of them. Not knowing it was being followed by the cloaked ships with Archimedes and his crew. "There it is. There, it, is." Archimedes grinned slowly as a shipyard filled with Galor class vessels in dock showed upon the screen. 

"Tactical?" Inquired Archimedes.

The half Furyan and half Bajoran woman ran her fingertips over her console. "Seventeen Galor Class Ships. All except the one we are following are in dock. It looks as if many are obtaining repairs. The shipyard has no shields detected and only six defensive weapons. I'm not reading any torpedo launchers for the station." Archimedes stepped over toward the tactical station where his daughter Shannon was standing. "You've done well at the helm as far as piloting a big ship goes. Now, let's see your skill with the weapons of said ship. Locate the main reactors to the station. That will be our primary target. Phasers and torpedoes at the ready." "Targets located." Commented Shannon. 

"Fire." Spoke Archimedes.

As his ship de-cloaked first, before firing, the other cloaked vessels would in turn do the same. Phaser and torpedo fire rocked the shipyard. Docked Cardassian vessels exploded as weapons fire impacted them while in dock. The Cardassian ship that 'they' had followed to the location of the shipyard, tried to come about to engage the attacking ships with Archimedes. Only to be taken out of the fight quick by multiple impacts of phasers to her hull, over loading the shields to the port side. 

The whole matter didn't last more then twelve minutes at the most. With no shielding, the ships in dock were sitting ducks, as the saying goes. As parts of the shipyard exploded, the ships went up with the station. 

"Signal the others, cloak and set course." Said Archimedes as he gave a set of his hand to his daughter's left shoulder. She turned her head toward her father and caught the brief smile that was at his lips. "You've done well. A good bit of practice. More to come." Turning he stepped down a step to proceed to sit with in the Captain's chair on the bridge. Located in front of the standing tactical station and behind the helm and ops station.

The five Xindi - Reptilian ships were in orbit of a Class M Planet. The lead ship came about and the others moved to follow in turn.  Though before they could depart the system, three refitted Defiant Class vessels would de-cloak and open fire upon them. A combination of phaser cannons and emitters assault the Reptilian ships. 

The lead Xindi vessel was destroyed quick enough before the ship directly behind it was knocked out of the fight. As one of the Xindi ships tried to speed off, torpedoes slammed into the vessel's hull before exploding. The others weren't very lucky either. Their fates sealed by superior fire power and quick maneuvering of the Defiant class ships.

As the last Reptilian ship was destroyed, Captain Adrienne Remus spoke from her ship's bridge. "And that, as they say, is that." A small laugh from Captain Kathryn Remus' ship over the communication system. "Indeed, it would seem so." "I personally would of liked to have boarded those ships and handled things face to face." Came the voice of Captain Christian Remus from his ship's bridge. "Nothing like seeing the fear in your enemies eyes before you put them down." Adrienne was heard in a light laugh from her ship's comm' system. "Spoken like a true son of our Father. Though I may agree with you there, brother. There is something to the moment your enemy realizes you have the upper hand and they, well, they are about to die."

"Too bad The Second Star, couldn't be here." Commented Christian from his ship. "I know." Spoke Adrienne. "I miss seeing Kimberly. She might of had a different mother then the three of us did, but she has that Remus fire in her at times. I heard her ship destroyed several cruisers of Dimension 132 a while back that were trying to escape a fire fight. She definitely has our Father's blood running through her veins. I've wondered sometimes what I would look like if I was half Trill."

"Your lovers could play connect the dots." Commented Kathryn over the comm' system from her ship. Christian was heard laughing over the communication system. Adrienne shook her head but perked that devious smile of her's. "Maybe." Kathryn's voice could be heard again. "I think you get that from Father, Adrienne. Holding lovers here and there." "Perhaps a few." Commented Adrienne. "Still waiting for that one to out match me in a spar though." "The troubles of those with part Furyan blood in them, eh, sis'?" Commented Kathryn. "Indeed." Spoke Adrienne as she smiled upon her ship.

"If you two are done, how about we venture back to Frontier Station and enjoy some real food instead of replicator food?"

"Transport rooms, prepare for beaming of the wounded up. Medical Bays, prepare to receive civilian and wounded. Tactical, don't stop firing when the shields go down for beaming." Captain Asha Reborjin gave orders from the bridge of her heavily modified Cheyenne Class ship, Solace.

The half human and half Cardassian woman was also that of a highly skilled doctor. She wasn't as dangerous as some of her half siblings were and Archimedes recognized such early on. When she finished her education in advanced medical, Archimedes secured a ship for her and had teams of workers convert it into more of a Medical Ship then that of it's previous design as an enhanced scientific explorer. The ship had two massive sick bays, medical bays in the saucer section. The vessel carried a crew of 280 and a bounty of medical staff from doctors to nurses and aids. Traveling the systems and offering aid to those that need it. The best and most advanced medical care could be performed in either medical bay on board the Solace. 

The Chief Medical Doctor working under Asha, was that of an older woman by the name of Diana Pulski. She lead a large team of nurses and other doctors on board. As survivors were being beamed to the two medical bays, the ship rocked some by being hit by weapons fire from the attacking ships. 

Xindi - Insectoid ships moved to engage the Solace in orbit of the planet. A defiant race of creatures. Over the decades they had become more and more brutal and blood thirsty. 

Exiting warp suddenly was that of nearly a dozen ships of various class and modification. Phaser fire would impact to the Insectoid ships. Over powering many with multiple hits and destroying them in the process. Torpedoes from friendly ships slammed into the Insectoid vessels with deadly results. A modified Excelsior Class ship opened fire with it's multiple phaser emitters and torpedoes. Reducing three of the enemy ships to little but broken debris among space. Two Insectoid ships moved off to flee from the fight now turned from their favor. 

Oh but Captain Catherine "Cat" Roberts and her refitted Excelsior class vessel 'Perverse' would not allow their escape. Phaser fire, followed by that of torpedoes would be their ending as the Insectoid ships were already having shield issues. 

"I hate bugs." Commented Cat over the communication system. "You and me both, Catherine." Spoke Captain Kimberly Remus from her vessel's bridge. "Solace, this is Captain Remus. Do you require any aid?" Asha's voice came over the comm' system. "Now that we aren't being attacked while trying to beam up the wounded from the star port on the planet, we're good. Thank you, Sister." Asha knew right away from hearing the voice that it was her half sister Kimberly. "Though an escort out of this system and perhaps to Frontier Station would be amazing if you could?" Kimberly smiled on board her ship. "Oh, I think I could offer escort to my younger sister and her ship. What do you think, Catherine?" Cat Roberts laughed on board her own ship before commenting through her comm' system. "Now who would I be, if I did not help out the daughters of Archimedes Remus" Let me know when you are ready to warp' speed it' to Frontier Station. Finish up with the survivors, Asha dear. We'll watch out for the ugly bugs to make sure they don't return."

The modified Centaur class vessel de-cloaked off Constitution class refit's port side. On board the Constitution class refit was that of the Andorian Captain Terra Vocil. She stood from her captain's chair and offered a smile as blue lips parted some to the man appearing on her view screen. "Archimedes, it is good to see of you again." Archimedes gave a nodding smile from his own ship's bridge. "Terra, you are looking well. I heard you have information that can perhaps shed some light on the mysterious attacks along certain systems. Do share my dear."

Captain Terra Vocil smiled again. "We do. My ship was helping a convoy of civilian class vessels between systems for safe passage. Along with others that had been hired out for escort. The convoy was attacked by Romulan looking ships. Dark in nature. The combined fire power of my ship and two others were able to knock out the engines upon one of the attacking ships. Further more we were able to disable it's weapon systems and shields. When the shields went down, my ship detected Gorn. The ship had Gorn on board it, Archimedes. The Gorn from the dimension myself and my crew came from were civil. They kept to their space and as long as nobody came too close to their territory, there was no issue with them. These Gorn" From wherever they came from are vicious and blood thirsty. Just as quick as they had de-cloaked and attacked us, the remaining ships disappeared once more. If Gorn from some dimension are here and with more powerful ships, that is a dangerous threat to those with out a decent shielding or tactical systems to try and fend them off."

"I see." Spoke Archimedes. "Does your ship require any aid, Terra?" "No." She said with a light shake of her head. White locks of her shoulder length hair shifting slightly against the sides of her face. "We are making repairs and will head to Frontier Station for more permanent repairs once the other escorts depart orbit of the planet. They wanted to stay until the defense shielding for the planet's spaceport was up and running to make sure the Gorn didn't come back and try to attack from orbit. Thank you though, Archimedes." "We are on a hunting trip. Yes, there are other ships with that of my own. We'll return to Frontier Station when we finish. Orion Syndicate vessels are our next prey. If we come across a stock pile of torpedoes, I'll be sure to set some aside in a cargo bay for you. Until next time we meet upon the depths of space."

With that, Archimedes' ship cloaked once more from sensors.

The green skinned Orion woman, Gaila with her red hair, grabbed the command chair she sat in as her ship was rocked by another impact of phaser fire.

The Nova class variant, Twilight, was taking a beating to the ship's shields. "Gaila, aft shields down to forty-two percent." "Torpedoes?" Asked Gaila as she looked over at another escaped Orion woman sitting at the tactical station. "We only have eleven left! No sign of any ships answering our distress call!" Gaila frowned and shook her head, red locks tossed about her shoulders. "Continue firing phasers! I want to know the moment the warp drive is back online!"

The communication system suddenly came to life with a voice from another vessel. "Nova class ship, come about to port and stay clear."

Gaila held her breath a moment and then motioned to the Orion woman at the helm. "Do as the voice says, it can't get worse than what we have been going through."

As her stolen ship pulled to port, three ships de-cloaked behind the Orion slaving cruisers. Two Klingon B'Rel modified ships and one modified Centaur class vessel.

Disruptor fire from the Klingon ships slammed into the Orion slave ships as Archimedes vessel fired off not only phasers, but also that of torpedoes at the attacking vessels. Aft shields failed upon one of the Orion ships and the next weapons fire from one of the Klingon ships broke through the hull to impact near engineering. Internal explosions started to over take the vessel as the other Orion ship came about to open fire at the attacking three.

Moving about the remaining Orion ship, which had gone from predator to prey now, starboard shields began to fail. With a volley of torpedoes from all three of the attacking vessels to that side of the Orion ship, her shields failed and the nacelle was blown off of it's support structure. Unable to escape now, the Orion slavers on board would face their end under the combined fire of the three unknown attackers.

"She's breaking up. Life signs, none detected." Commented Commander Dorn on board Archimedes ship. The Klingon male actually grinned a bit over at Archimedes who gave a light nod of his head. "Ash to ash, dust to dust. Nicely done Kruger, Delnora." Kruger laughed from his Klingon ship over the communication system. "I would of loved to see their faces when we opened fire right behind them." Delnora, half Klingon and half human, smirked on board her Klingon ship. "They were too focused on their prey that they in turn became such. Slavers, too weak to be real men. They have to rob others who can't defend themselves of their freedom. I say the less roaming about the stars the better. It was a bit of fun destroying two of their ships I must admit."

"This is Archimedes Remus to Nova vessel. Do you require assistance with repairs or can you make it to Frontier Station' It is only a short trip by warp from this system."

Gaila blinked on board her stolen Nova class ship. She had managed to escape the Orion Syndicate slavers along with a little over seventy other Orion women. Were things really looking up for them' "This is Gaila of the ship, Twilight. Our warp drive should be operational again in fifteen to twenty minutes. We should be able to make it to the station you speak of than." Archimedes Remus" She was actually talking to Archimedes Remus!"!"! So much had been heard about the unique man from a system far, far away.

"We are in rush to leave, we shall remain until your warp drive is functional to ensure there is not more slavers lurking somewhere in wait for our departure. Let us know when you are ready, Remus out."

"Hey, Delnora?" Came Kruger's rough voice over the communication system. "Yes?" Her voice would be heard of the comm' system. "Do you think those Orion slavers filled their pants with those first hits to their ship at the aft from us" Like...'oh, we're in trouble' kinda moment?" Delnora could be heard in a light laughter, shaking her head with a play of her long hair about her shoulders. "Perhaps, more like 'oh no, it's the Klingons and Archimedes, we're done for' I believe." Archimedes heard them through the communication system and grinned a bit on board his ship. He looked over at his half Bajoran daughter, Shannon Jaxa, at the helm. "Good work piloting the ship. Positioning behind and below an enemy vessel are key to getting ahead in the way of winning a fight." Shannon turned and gave a light smile at her father. "Given the history with the Cardassians and the Bajorans, I don't much care for anyone promoting slavery. They got what they deserved. Death." Archimedes smiled a bit and gave a nod of his head. "Indeed, they did my daughter. We'll have you on tactical next engagement we enter."

Gaila was pacing on board her ship. Wanting the warp drive done being tended to so they could head off to the station mentioned. Though something else was upon her mind now. She was curious of Archimedes and now, seems she had found him. "They say he's a unique species of human. Something not common from many of the dimensions that can open into this galaxy of space." One of the other Orion women looked over toward Gaila. "I heard, these...Furyans as they are called, are strong as Klingons. Maybe even stronger?" The woman at the helm piped in than. "Some I've heard, can see in the dark better than the light. Can you imagine" Seeing at night in the dark? That speaks volumes of almost predator in nature."

Gaila listened to the others on board the bridge of their ship. She would quietly think on how to better introduce herself to this Archimedes. Perhaps she will have time once they reach the station. Hopefully she wouldn't stumble over her own words meeting him in person.

Archimedes stood outside Hoshi Balto's cell in the brig on board his ship. His arms were crossed over his chest and an index finger was quiet in tap to his upper right arm.

"Captain Stockton?" Inquired Archimedes through the near clear force field at her cell's entrance. Hoshi shook her head. "No, I don't know his plans."

"Captain Harrison?" Hoshi again shook her dark hair at Archimedes with his question. "I do not know his plans either."

"Captain Dalton?" Archimedes would ask again about a Captain of The Empire and again Hoshi would shake her head lightly. "I don't know his plans either, Archimedes."

"Captain Trip?" Hoshi at that inquire would smirk a little. "He still hates you for the plasma burns he took to his face long ago, but I don't know his plans either."

"Fleet Admiral Marcus, Fleet Admiral Dougherty or Fleet Admiral Barnett?" Hoshi gave a sigh of breath, shaking her had yet again. "I am not in the know of their thoughts and or plans. No doubt the Admirals of the The Empire are upset with recent losses. I didn't agree with the attack on Frontier Station. My voice isn't always heard. I said the attack would provoke a sleeping dragon. Here The Empire is, losing ships to multiple attacks as a result of what they thought was a good idea in attacking Frontier Station. Seven systems cleared out of Empire planetary and orbital stations. Dozen or so ship yards lost. I don't remember off hand the number of our cruisers lost in attacks by you and your friends. The Empire asked for it, no doubt. But where do you give pause, Archimedes" When is enough, enough with the attacks?"

"When those of Dimension 132 venture off. Far...far away to never return."

Hoshi sat down to the platform in her holding cell. "I doubt they will just leave." "Then they will die. I'm feeling quite well. The attacks will continue as long as everyone else feels the desire to 'repay' The Empire of Dimension 132 for the damage caused in their strike."

Hoshi shifted her lips together. Her gaze lowered to the flooring in her cell. "How long are you keeping me?" "Until I find a decent spot to off load of you." Replied Archimedes. "We are making a stop at Frontier Station. Escorting a ship to dock there before taking on supplies and heading back out among the stars. You of course, will remain in this holding cell while we are in dock. When we depart the station once more, hopefully I have an idea of somewhere to drop you off. From there, you can find your way back to your precious Empire."

Hoshi lifted her gaze from the floor, catching sight of Archimedes moving off for the doors. "I'm sorry." She quietly spoke.

Archimedes gave pause in step as the doors to the brig opened before him. "Me too." Stepping out and moving down the hall as the doors closed behind him.

Phaser fire broke out in engineering and on the bridge, of the upgraded Centaur class vessel at Frontier Station.

Caught off guard and with most of the crew on the station, the attackers moved to quickly shoot to kill the skeleton crew left on board the vessel. Osyrus Johnson, often called OJ, fired another phaser shot into the man upon the flooring on the bridge. The black man with mustache and goatee gave a snarl of his lip as he moved to sit down in the command chair.

"Engineering, you secure?" He would inquire over the communication system. "Yeah...we got them all. Was just four of them down here. We lost Aimeni, Broderik and Latondish though." Osyrus gave a shake of his head. "No matter. We got the ship. I want us out of here. Now!"

The Zenovia III eased back from it's position at the space station, coming about as the cloaking device was activated. Soon as the ship came about under cloak, it would enter warp to get as far as it could away from the station.

Osyrus, just might have signed his own death warrant by his own actions...
