Ok as well before we start this is based on the series Star Trek Voyager but with a twist from the original story line and i hope you like it.Chapter 8: Misfits
"Carter to Voyager, 4 to beam up." I said over the comm. We dematerialised out of my mum and dad's house and re appeared in transporter room 1 on Voyager. "Welcome Back Captain." Said the officer at the controls. "Thank you crewman." I said walking out of the transporter room. Repairs were finally complete, after 5 weeks the ship was almost ready to depart, the last thing now was to review the systems that had been repaired, run a ship wide diagnostic which can take a good few days and also get the new crewmembers on board. I had really enjoyed the time off that Tom and I had but I really was thankfully to be back on board on my ship. As stupid as it sounds Voyager feels like a part of my family. She is my ship and my home and being apart from her in the last 5 weeks while she was being repaired really did kill me. Now to be walking down the corridors felt so right. I was very thankful that the team from the day care centre were already back on board so that we could drop the kids off. "I don't believe it's the same ship, the last time I walked down this corridor the walls were scorched, there were bits of conduits and rubble and even missing deck plates." Tom said "Well at least this time you don't have to try to carry Matthew through the Jeffries tubes to bring him up to the bridge." I said making him laugh. There were several Starfleet engineers still on board just doing some final repairs and checking through their work to be able to make their reports. We rounded some corners before arriving at the day care centre. After dropping Matthew and Emma in, we went to our quarters and dropped off our bits that we had brought back from my mums and also our trip to Risa. Our quarters were looking the same as always, a paradise. After we finished in our quarters we rode the turbolift up to the bridge and noticed that none of the senior staff were back yet. Of course not they wouldn't be back until the day before we leave. I went straight down to my ready room as Tom went over and spoke with the Commander Suffolk who was in charge of the repair efforts. I entered the ready room and noticed that everything that had been damaged or destroyed of mine that was personal to me had either been replaced or repaired right down to the picture I had put around the room. There was another picture to put up which I had brought with me. I put it on my desk next to my small console and smiled to myself. It was one that we had taken on Risa, we had gone out for a family picnic and someone had kindly offered to take a picture for us. It was such a great vacation, the beautiful beaches, the crystal clear waters, the hot springs. It was divine. Plus the babysitting service they offered on a night meant that Tom and I could have some `personal' time. Don't get me wrong I love my kids with all my heart and they mean the world to me and I would not change anything about them but sometimes a man and his husband have needs and having two young babies around stops us from having those moments. I sat at my desk, breathed out loud touched a panel of the computer and began work.
Four days later and I was surrounded by engineering updates, progress reports and repair reports, all read and sorted and updated in the ships logs, boxed up and ready to go down to Starfleet. "Come in." I said as my door chime went off as I was sat on the sofa with Tom drinking coffee. The doors opened and in walked two officers in red. "Captain Carter sir, Lieutenant Commander Williams, I am from Starfleet information and we are here to collect your reports." He said. "There they are." I said gesturing towards the boxes. "Thank you captain." He said before hitting his commbadge. "Williams to O'Neil I have the reports from Voyager ready for transport." He said. "Standby sir." A voice replied. "Energising." The voice then said and no sooner had Commander Williams come in he was gone. "Bridge to Captain Carter." Said commander Suffolk. "Go ahead Commander." I said. "Captain, message from Admiral Janeway. She requests you beam to Starfleet command immediately." He told me. "Understood." I said and stood up. "The bridge is yours until I get back." I said to Tom as we left the ready room. I rode the turbolift to the transporter room and beamed down to Starfleet. As I entered the command centre I noticed how busy it was. "Captain Carter, Captain Carter please report to briefing room 3." Said the computer. I walked to the briefing room and announced my presence before entering the room. Sat at the table were several Admirals, my mother and Kathryn included. "Captain take a seat." Said Kathryn. I sat down and looked at them. Even though I was a captain I still was nervous every time I came and sat in front of a group of Admirals. "Progress report on Voyager Jack." Kathryn asked. "All systems have checked out sir, the ship is fully operational. All repairs were completed above and beyond required standards. She is ready." I told her. "That's good news Jack and in your opinion do you think you could have the crew back on board and settled in ready for launch by tomorrow morning at 06:00?" my mother said. "Yes ma'am, I can have them all on board and ready to go." I said eager to get back into space. "He will do." Said one of the Admiral's to Kathryn. "Sir?" I asked slightly shocked at how rude the Admiral had been. "Jack, this is Admiral Alex Rowley, the commandant of Starfleet Academy and he has a mission for you." Kathryn said. "Firstly Captain I want to apologise for my rudeness. But after the news I just received and with what I am going to tell you, I'm sure you will be able to understand why. Now are aware of red squad special tactical division." He asked me. One thing I couldn't help but notice about this man was how young he looked, he looked the same age as me, possibly younger and another thing was how cute he was. "I'm aware of red squad but I didn't know there was a special tactical division." I replied. "Well after the war it was decided that a group of cadets would be trained in special tactical situations, given what happened with the war Starfleet thought it was a wise idea and chose a small group of cadets from red squad to do the training. Now red squad comprises nearly 150 cadets and from those 40 were chosen to do the training. In time after they graduated they would be given command a ship ideally a defiant class and would be called upon during a tactical crisis. Your mother was the head of these cadets and she has trained them very well." He explained. "Apparently a little too well." My mother said. "An hour ago I received a report from Deep Space 4, the cadets attacked a former cardassian military site which is still controlled by the dominion which we allowed as a sign of good faith. However in doing so we believe they could start the next dominion war and when we tracked their course they were en-route for the wormhole to the gamma quadrant. Starfleet command has now declared these cadets renegade. They were on a training voyage aboard what would have been their ship when they graduated, The defiant class U.S.S. Sisko, named after Captain Sisko. They had a simple set of orders take the ship on a shakedown cruise, and return home. But they didn't do that and unless we catch them the consequences could be unimaginable. Your orders are to locate them and bring them back by any necessary means and any use of force. I will be accompanying you on the mission as the overall mission leader however you will remain in command of Voyager and I will be giving you a wide scope in this matter. I'm simply coming along for when and if we do get them so that they can be charged and brought back to earth. Do you understand?" he asked. "Yes sir." I replied. "Good then I would like you to start getting your senior staff back on board, while Admiral Janeway informs the rest of your crew. I will beaming on board at 05:00, I would like you to schedule a meeting with the senior staff for 07:00." He told me. "Understood." I replied. "Well then I guess we are done here. Thank you Captain." He said as everyone stood and left.
"Kathryn." I shouted down the corridor as I ran to catch up with her. "Jack." She said turning to me. "He's very young to be an Admiral isn't he?" I asked. "Who Alex, yeah he is. He made Starfleet history by becoming the youngest Admiral to date. He's only 27." She told me. "Wow, how did that happen." I asked. "In the war he was a lieutenant, but when most of his senior staff were killed in a skirmish he was given a battlefield promotion to Captain by Admiral Ross and then was promoted to Admiral last year and took on the Academy. He was given that job mainly due to the fact that he is of a similar age to the cadets and he's doing really well." She explained. "What's he like as a person?" I asked. She smiled. "He's lovely Jack, often reminds me of you. I think you two will work well together and you never know you may be able to offer him some support." She said. "Support with what?" I asked. "His recent breakup with his boyfriend. They just split after 2 years." She told me. "He's gay?" I asked in shock. "Yeah he is, and if going to tell you this it's the off the record." She told me. I smiled as she said "He's specifically asked for you, and we spoke off the record one day and he likes you." She told me. "Does he know I'm married?" I asked. "Yeah and that you have kids." She replied. "Well.... I'm flattered but..." I started to say before she cut me off. "Don't worry Jack I don't think he is going to make a move on you." She told me. "That's good then, anyways I need to get my senior staff back." I said. "I'll see you later, are we still on for dinner tonight?" she asked. "Sure, me and Tom would be happy to have you." I explained. "Good if it's okay with you I'll ask Alex if he will join us." She said. "Sure, let me know so I know how much to make and how many places to set for." I told her. "I will do.
An hour later I was back on board Voyager in my quarters tidying up and packing the kids things together. My mother had asked if she and my dad could have the kids for the night before we go back into space in the morning and when I told her the nature of our mission she, Tom and I agreed that on this occasion it may be a wise idea if she take them until we come back from the mission. The door chime went off "Come in." I said. The doors opened and in walked my mum and dad. "Hi son, how's things?" my dad said as they both took a seat on the sofa. "We are good thanks." I replied. "Honey my mum and dad are here?" I called into the bedroom. Tom emerged with Matt in his arms. "Hey guys." He said as he put Matthew in his pram. "How are you Tom?" my mother asked. "I'm good thanks yourself?" he replied. "We are fine thank you for asking, ready for your mission?" my father asked. "I think so, let's just hope these cadets don't make us look bad." He said jokingly to which we all laughed. "Well there you go mum, everything of there's is ready." I said putting another bag on the back of Emma's pushchair. "Anything we don't have we can easily just replicate, don't worry." My mother replied. I smiled. "Well I guess this is goodbye for a little while." I said already feeling emotional. I kissed both Emma and Matthew before Tom did as well. "Look after them." I said to my mother. "I raised you didn't I." She replied. "I know, and thank you." I replied. "Good luck on your mission and we will see you soon." My dad said. I hugged them both before they strolled out of the quarters and down the hall. I stood and stared at the door. I just burst in to tears. "Come here babes." Tom said wrapping his arms around me. "They are my kids Tom and for the first time I'm not going to be looking after them or have them near." I said through the tears. "I know I feel the same way, but they will be fine with your parents and it won't be for long." Tom replied. I smiled and turned to him wiping my eyes. "That's better, now what do you say we get ready for this dinner tonight." He said. I nodded and went straight to work. I got the replicator to program all the dishes in sequence for what I wanted before setting the table. "Bridge to Captain Carter." Said Kim over the comm. At least he was back on board. I had sent the message to all senior staff to be back on board by 19:00 hours and I was yet to find out if they all had. "Go ahead Harry." I replied. "Sir, all senior staff are back on board and you have a message from Admiral Janeway priority 1." He told me. "Very good, route the message here. Carter out." I replied. I touched a control on my monitor and Kathryn's face appeared. "Jack, just to let you know Alex will be joining us." She told me. "Understood." I replied. "He's also said that he will be beaming on board tonight and just staying there instead of coming back up in the morning." She told me. "Acknowledged we will be ready to meet you. When are coming up?" I asked. "In about 30 minutes." She told me. "Understood, we will await your arrival." I told her. "Very good, Janeway out." She said before the screen went black. "Alex?" Tom asked me. "Admiral Rowley, he will be on board for the mission." I told him. "You still haven't told me what this mission is that we are leaving for." He said to me.
We sat down on the sofa and I proceeded to tell him all about the mission. "I get it now, so Starfleet wants these cadets recovered pretty fast and we are the ones to do it." Tom said. "That's right and Admiral Rowley will be overseeing it all." I told him. "Very good." Tom said. I smiled. "Bridge to Captain Carter." Said Harry. "Yes Harry." I replied. "Admirals Janeway and Rowley have requested to beamed on board." He said. "Understood we are on our way to transporter room 2." I said. We left the quarters and strolled down the corridor towards the transporter room. As we entered I noticed that Luke was at the controls. "Luke, have you got a lock on them." I asked. "Yes sir." He replied. "Energise." I said. He worked the controls and both Admirals appeared on the transporter pads. "Welcome Aboard sirs." I said. "Good to see you again captain." Said Alex smiling at me. I smiled back and said "May I present my first officer Commander Thomas Walker." I said. "A pleasure commander." Said Alex shaking Tom's hand. "Likewise sir." Tom replied. "This is your husband as well am I right?" asked Alex. "Guilty as charged." Tom replied. He smiled and I said, "Well Tom why don't you take Admiral Rowley to his quarters while Kathryn and I go to our quarters and we will meet you there." I said. "Aye sir." He replied leading the way for Admiral Rowley while Kathryn and I went another way. "Let the show begin." Kathryn said. "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "Tom, clearly he was jealous." She replied. "How do you mean?" I asked. "Didn't you see the look on his face when Alex smiled at you and the tension between them both?" Kathryn told me. "No, I think your just imagining things." I told her. "I don't know." She replied shaking her head.
An hour later we were all sat around eating dinner and talking. It was at this point I could see the tension that Kathryn had mentioned before between Alex and Tom. "With phasers firing as well." I said finishing off the story about the Son'a encounter and how I had given birth to Emma. "Well that must have certainly been an experience. But I'm sure everything was fine, I mean you had the doctor with you." Alex said. "Well not just the doctor, I mean I know I didn't do allot but at least I kept my husband occupied with the doctor cutting into him and all." Tom said in a sarcastic tone. "I'm sure you did." Alex replied with an equally sarcastic comment. "Okay so, who's for desert?" I said standing up. I stood up and went round the table collecting plates while Alex topped up everyone's wine glasses. I replicated the deserts which was a strawberry and white chocolate meringue with double cream. "Tom will you help me." I said as four dishes appeared. He came over and grabbed two of the dishes and looked at me and smiled. He sat one in front of Kathryn and then himself as they were sat opposite each other at the table as I walked over and put one down in front of Alex and then took my place next to Tom and opposite Alex. We continued to talk some more and as we were I started to notice how much Alex was trying to discreetly look at me a lot. I had to smile at myself at this, Kathryn was right maybe he did like me. "So Alex, tell me how do you like being the commandant of the Academy?" Tom asked trying to start a conversation. "I enjoy it, I like being there working with the next generation of Starfleet officers." He replied. As he was saying this I could feel a rubbing up and down against my leg underneath the table. I looked up when I could feel the foot going all the way up my leg and coming very close to my testicles. I looked to Tom who was in the middle of a taking a bite of his pudding. I then looked to Alex who raised his eyebrows at me signalling to me it was him. "So how did you get to be an Admiral at only 27 years old, I mean your two years younger than me or jack." Tom said. Alex went on to tell us how he became an Admiral and as he was doing so he continued to rub my leg with his foot, it was really turning me on. I mean he was about 6 foot, medium length brown hair which he styled, really cute and slim built. As he rounded off, Tom spoke up "Well Jack, there you go, it can't be that hard to get to be an Admiral if Alex can do it." He said. Alex looked up slightly shocked by the comment but simply said "Maybe so." I cleared my throat and stood up, "Coffee anyone?" I asked. "Let me help you." Alex said standing. "No please you're our guest." I said. "Please, I insist." Alex said. "Very well, Tom why don't you and Kathryn move on over the sofa area and we will bring the coffee's over." I said. He stood up and smiled at me before kissing me "Okay babe." He replied before slapping my ass. They moved over as Alex and I cleared the table and then replicated a pot of coffee and cups and took them over to the sofa area and set it down on the coffee table.
I poured the coffees and we continued to talk for another hour before we finally decided to call it a night. "Are you sure I can't convince you to stay on board for the evening." I said to Kathryn. "No I really must be getting home." She said. "Well, I'll walk you down to the transporter room." I said. "If you're doing that babe, ill tidy up in and jump in the shower." Tom said. "Okay baby, I won't be long." I replied. I walked out the door following Alex and Kathryn out. After walking to the transporter room with Kathryn and Alex and saying goodnight to her Alex and I walked to down towards his quarters. "Come in for a second won't you." He said to me as he walked into the quarters. I followed him in and the moment the doors closed he turned to face me and kissed me. For a moment I didn't attempt to break it but then I let up and pushed him away. "Alex, I can't, I'm married." I said looking at him. He looked at me and moved over to the sofa, sitting down. "I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself." He said. "Well ermm... thank you for attending dinner, and I will see you first thing in the morning Admiral." I said making my way for the door. "Jack wait." He said but I carried on heading for the door. "Captain hold it." He said. I stopped and turned, "Now isn't the time." I said walking out the door. I headed for the turbolift and stepped in. "Deck 8." I called out as the turbolift started moving. I moved to the back of the turbolift and leaned against the wall. That was a bloody good kiss. Do I stop this turbolift and head back and go back to finish that kiss or go home to my husband? The husband I have 2 children with and that I love so much. The turbolift stopped on deck 8 and I walked out and carried on down to the corridor and into my quarters. I heard Tom singing to himself in the shower and I had to laugh. This was the right choice. I locked the main doors and I walked into the bathroom and saw him in the wet shower. Water running down his abs and chest it was such a turn on. "Hey sexy." I said to him. "Hey baby, wanna join me?" he asked. "No, I need to get started on mission prep before I turn in for the evening." I told him. He smiled at me and continued to shower, as I exited the bathroom and walked into the lounge where I sat at my desk and started to work. Most of the mission prep had already been done earlier in the day by the other senior staff, going over systems and running diagnostics, in particular I made sure that B'Elanna went over the tactical systems inch by inch because we were heading into a potential dangerous situation. I read over the reports and checked over some bits before finally deciding to go to bed. I checked the time and it was just gone 23:00. I went into the bedroom to see Tom sat up reading a book. "Ready for bed?" he asked. "Sure I am." I said stretching and yawning. I stripped off and climbed into bed. He turned out the lights and cuddled up to me and we slowly drifted off to sleep.
"The time is 05:00 hours." The computer announced. I stretched out in bed to see Tom already up stood with his morning glory looking at me. I smiled at him and said "Good morning to you too." He laughed and said "Shower time." "You go, I need coffee." I said. I got out of bed and put my dressing gown on and went to the replicator to get coffee as it appeared I got the cup and moved over to the kids bedroom. I looked in and saw the two cribs together and I felt a pain. I missed my kids something crazy and it pained me to be away from them. A tear ran down the side of my face which I quickly brushed away and went back into the lounge and checked to see if had received anything overnight, nothing. I moved back to the bedroom and made the bed and cleaned mine and Tom's uniforms before going into the bathroom. I shaved, brushed my teeth and used the toilet before hopping in the shower as Tom got out. 20 minutes later we were ready and eating breakfast in the lounge. The door chime interrupted a conversation we were having "Come in." I said as the doors opened and in walked Alex. "Good morning Admiral." I said as he came in. "Good morning, I just thought I would check in and see if there was anything you wanted to discuss before we commence with the mission." He told us. "Not really I mean I don't have any questions." I said. "I have one, just to clarify who is actually to be in command of this ship and the mission?" asked Tom. "Jack, he will be commanding the ship and the mission. I'm simply here to make sure everything goes smoothly and sort the cadets out if and when we capture them." Alex replied. "I see." Tom replied. "Anything else?" Alex asked. "I don't think so." Tom said. "Well in that case I'll see you on the bridge for 06:00." Alex said. "Stay and join us for breakfast." I said. "It's fine really I don't want to impose." Alex said. "You're not imposing. Replicate yourself something and come sit down." I said. He made himself a stack of maple syrup pancakes and sat with us as we ate and spoke. At 05:55 we left the quarters and headed up for the bridge. As we stepped out onto the bridge I noticed that all the senior staff were already at their posts. "Status." I said as I walked down towards my chair. "Starfleet command has just transmitted the departure protocols. We are clear to leave." Harry said. "Then if nobody objects then let's get this mission started." I said. "Mr Paris, lay in a course and clear the departure with the dock master." I said. "Course plotted, we have been cleared to launch." Paris replied. "Kyle, ready thrusters." Tom said. "Thrusters ready." He replied. "Initiate launching sequence." I said. "Sequence underway." Paris replied. "Engage." I said. The umbilical cords to detached from the ship as Paris flew us out of the docking port and into open space. "Mr Paris set a course for Deep Space Nine. Maximum warp. Engage." I said. "On course, ETA 3 hours." Paris said. "Captain, can we discuss some mission details in the ready room." Alex said. "Of course." I said as I stood up, "Tom the bridge is yours." I added as Alex and I walked into the ready room. The moment the doors were shut I grabbed his arm and kissed him. "I just wanted to test something from last night." I said as we broke the kiss. "That was..." he started to say but I cut him off and kissed him again. "What happened to you having a husband." He asked me. "I don't know, but since I saw you that day at the briefing I just knew I wanted to do this." I told him. "Well let's just do it then." Alex said as our faces got closer to each other. I let in and just kissed him again but this time more passionately my hands exploring his body and finally resting on bubble butt. "Computer seal the doors, no entry without my authorisation." I said between kisses. I could feel his cock growing, getting hard in his uniform, he slowly peeled away my jacket and top and vest as I did the same to him leaving our bare chests rubbing against each other. I had to have him, "I want you." He said to me. I kissed him harder as my hand rubbed his cock through his uniform, "I want you to fuck me." He said. This made me more turned on at the way he said it. We quickly shed our boots and trousers leaving us in boxers and this was the first chance I had to take in his body, he was tanned and very toned with an amazing six pack and I could tell from the tent in his underwear he was about the same size as me. We quickly removed those and he dropped to his knees and sucked my cock, licking up and down the shaft running his tongue over the big purple head, deep throating me taking it all the way down to the base and then moving on to balls, taking one ball in his mouth at a time sucking on them lightly. "Slow down or I may cum." I said. "We don't want that now." Alex said with a cheeky grin. "I can't wait any longer. Fuck me now, fuck me hard." He said. I lay him down on the couch with both legs in the air and lubed up his hole with my spit before slowly working my cock inside him. I yelped slightly in pain but soon I was all the way inside his tight hole and began thrusting at him as I began to fuck his hole and soon picked up the pace fucking him so hard that he started he was screaming out in joy, the beads of sweat flowing down the side of my face and my body all sweaty I just kept pounding and pounding his hole and I could feel my cock going sore, but ploughed through and continued to fuck his hole. Soon I could feel myself tensing up and knew I was going to cum. "I'm gonna shoot." I said breathless. "I wanna taste it." He said. I pulled out and he began sucking my cock tasting himself as he did and soon I shot my load down this throat, load after load I wasn't sure if it was going to stop. Eventually he shot all over his stomach which I ran my tongue over eating it all up. I collapsed on to him and said "That was amazing." "It sure was." He replied. 20 minutes later we walked back out on to the bridge after transporting back to his quarters and quickly showering and washing our mouths out and then transporting back to the ready room, we had been away from the bridge for the last hour. As we were showering Alex and I had agreed this was a one off and will never happen again it was just something to release the lust and that it would not affect our working relationship. This I was happy with. "Senior staff meeting" I said as I walked up to the centre of the bridge. I looked at Tom and man did the guilt just come flooding at me. "You okay baby?" he asked me. "I'm fine." I said.
As Tom and I were the last to enter the briefing room I noticed that everyone was at their seats, Alex sat at the opposite end of the table to me, he looked at me and smiled. It was then that I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, Kyle and Tom both smiled at each other but it wasn't an ordinary smile it was the same seductive smile that me and Alex had just shared. The meeting went ahead as we briefed the senior staff on the mission at hand and what was expected of us and we explained what the situation was. "We are expected to arrive at DS9 in about 2 hours, so if there is nothing further then dismissed." I said. Everyone slowly rose as did I and as people were leaving I called out "Tom, a minute." He stayed behind as everyone finally left and it was just us in the room. "Jack baby." He said looking at me. "I think we need to talk." I said. "Okay." He said with a worried look on his face. "Tom I want an honest answer, and please just be straight with me." I said. He looked at me and I took my time to think before I said "Have you slept with Kyle?" I asked. He dropped his head and I knew this was a sign that he had. "Jack, before we start what is clearly going to be a big fight, I just want you to know it only happened once and never again, we both agreed that it was a onetime thing and afterwards I felt so guilty I love you so much and never want to loose you, it was just a moment of weakness and I am so sorry." He said. "Tom..." I said before I turned away and looked out at the windows. I really felt bad now knowing what I had just done. "You did it too didn't you?" he asked. Tears started to flood down my face. "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I did it." I replied. "Alex..." he asked. "Yes it was." I replied. "Then I guess we are even." Tom replied. "I just can't believe we did this, why did we do this?" I asked. "Let's just say it was a one time moment of weakness that we both shared and that it will never happen again." He said. I grabbed him round the waist and kissed him. "Sure." I said. He smiled at me, "So how was he?" Tom asked. "Amazing, but nothing on you." I replied. "Good, and for the record, Kyle was amazing but I still prefer your ass." He replied. I laughed and we kissed again before we exited the ready room. "Let's never mention that again." I said. "Deal." He replied.
The next two hours went by very quickly especially considering that Tom and I managed to catch sometime to have what was the best make up sex I had ever had, and now I was back on the bridge having had sex twice in the same morning and then now I was back on the bridge as we arrived at DS9. "Hail the station." I said. "Channel open." Said Harry. The viewscreen came to life and we saw Colonel Kira stood there. "Captain Carter, good to see you again." She said. "Same to you Colonel, request permission to enter the wormhole." I said. "Granted Captain, good hunting." She said. "Thank you." I replied. The viewscreen went black, and I stood up, "Mr Paris, take us in." I said. "Aye sir." He said. He slowly flew us into the wormhole and soon we were on the other side. "Mr Paris, that was wonderful flying, lets get a full sensor sweep in progress and see if we can detect their warp signature." Alex ordered. "Already in progress sir." Harry said. A few minutes later, Harry announced, "Found them. They are on a heading of 147 mark 205." "Lay in a course. Engage at Warp 9." I said. "How long before we catch up with them?" Tom asked. "3 hours." Paris replied. "Let's maintain course and be ready for anything." Alex said. "Agreed, I'll be in my ready room. Tom you have the bridge." I said standing up. "Is that wise, with Admiral Rowley here?" he asked. "Tom I'm merely here to make sure we get those cadets and sort out their discipline, I'm not here to change the way the ship is run." He said. "Understood sir." Tom replied.
I walked off the bridge and into the ready room where I saw my desk covered in pads. I sat and read them over the next few hours as the world faded away around me. The door chimed which brought me out of my trance of reading, i was on my last pad and my desk was stacked up with pads that i had read and copied onto the main computer. "Come in." I said as the doors opened in walked Tom, "The latest sensor sweeps." He said handing me a padd. I read it over and there was nothing of any significance to report, "So how's the tension out on the bridge between you and Alex?" I asked. "Fine I think we have settled our differences, we spoke earlier." He told me. "Well that's good as long as..." was all I got out as the ship shook. "Captain to the bridge." Said Alex. Tom and I immediately walked out of the ready room and onto the bridge. "Report." I said. "A defiant class vessel, just de cloaked and opened fire." Harry told me. "De-cloaked?" I repeated looking at Alex. "Apparently they have got themselves a cloaking device from somewhere." He said as I took my seat with Tom. "Is it them?" Tom asked. "Yes sir, it's confirmed it's the U.S.S Sisko." B'Elanna told me. "Who would be in command?" I asked Alex. "Cadet Robinson, was placed in command." Alex replied. "Harry hail them." I ordered as the ship took another hit. "Channel open." Harry replied. "This is Captain Jack Carter of the federation starship Voyager, by order of Starfleet command I am ordering you to stand down at once. If you don't comply I have been authorised to use force." I said. I looked at Harry and he nodded, "They are responding." He said. "On screen." I said as the viewscreen came to life. "Captain carter, I have heard a lot about you from your mother. I did wonder who they would be sending after me." Cadet Robinson said. "Cadet, I am ordering you to stand down immediately and prepare to be boarded. You will release control of that ship to my..." was all I said before he cut me off. "Captain Carter, let me stop you right there. I will not be standing down and I don't think there is anything you're going to do to stop me." He said clearly testing me. "B'Elanna, power the forward phasers." I said. "Captain, somehow I don't think you're going to fire on another federation ship." He said. "Don't test me." I replied. "Hit me with your best shot." He replied. "B'Elanna target their shield grid generator and prepare to fire." I said. "Aye sir." She replied. "I'm giving you one last chance Cadet." I told him. "And I think I'm going to reject it." He replied with a cocky attitude. God I hate teenagers who are full of themselves. "I didn't think you would do it." He said and then smirked. "Doesn't mean I won't." He then added before closing the channel. The ship shook again and clearly they had fired. "Evasive pattern Beda 3." Tom said as Paris began the evasive sequence. "B'Elanna keep those phasers locked." I said. "What are you doing just fire!" Alex said standing next to me. "No I won't fire unless I have to." I said. "Captain, I am ordering you to fire on that ship." He told me. "NO!" I shouted. "Mr Paris, hard about get us out of their weapons range." I said. "Captain, they are launching another torpedo." B'Elanna. "Full power to shields." Tom said. But the torpedo hit and I was thrown from chair. "Hull breach deck 7 and 8." Harry shouted. "That torpedo went right through our shields." B'Elanna reported. "How did they get passed our shields?" I asked. "God knows." Tom said. "Mr Paris take us out of here maximum..." I was in the middle of saying before I was thrown from my feet. "Hull fracture deck 11." Paris reported. "Paris Warp nine get us out of here." Tom said. He plotted the course and we were away. "They are in pursuit." Harry reported. I picked myself up and dusted myself off. "Staff meeting now." I said as I walked down to the briefing room. I went straight to the console and pulled up a damage report and read it over. "4 direct hits straight through our shields. The secondary command processors are offline, the long range subspace transmitter is gone and we lost three phasers banks." I said when everyone was finally in the room. " Now the good news, as I'm sure we all know, this ship is capable of Warp 9.975. That ship is only capable of Warp 8 at a push. Mr Paris what is our exact current speed?" I asked. "Warp 9.5" he answered. I looked around, "I want that pushed up too warp 9.975." I said. "Sir, you know we can only maintain that speed for a maximum of 12 hours." Harry said. "I am aware, but for what I have in mind we won't need to be at high warp for too long. Before we start Seven from our current position at maximum warp how long would it take to get to Hasock system?" I asked. "Approximately 2 hours." She replied. "And how about the U.S.S. Sisko?" I asked. "4 hours." She replied. "Then we have a chance. "In about 90 minutes, Kyle I want to begin a shut down of the port nacelle and make it look like we are in a lot more trouble than we actually are, that will mean that at warp 9.975 the starboard nacelle will only last for 30 minutes before we have to shut down, which means we will be in place. That will mean we have 2 hours to put my plan into motion." I said. "I'll put security on alert and send my teams around arming all personnel." B'Elanna said. "Good and also put a security team together ready to board the Sisko. Tom will be leading that away team." I said. "Doctor put sickbay together, Kyle get repairs underway as best as you can and organise engineering." Tom said. "So come on then Captain what's this brilliant plan of yours." Alex said. "Actually Sir, you won't completely understand what we are going to talk about, you see this was a tactic that Captain Janeway used in the delta quadrant so just try to keep up." I said. I then turned to the senior staff. "Do you all remember the mission where we were in a situation with the Hazari?" I asked. "Of course." Everyone replied apart from Kyle who looked even more confused. "I don't." Kyle said. "Don't worry Tom will brief you and the Admiral after the meeting." I said nodding to Tom who nodded back. "Well instead of setting a lot of charges in space we are going to set one, but this time a big one. We are going to mask it with a holographic representation of the port nacelle. When the Sisko moves into range, we blow. Move in take out their warp drive and impulse engines and then disable their shields using the same trick they pulled on us. We access their main computer core using my mother's access codes disable their shields and then fire on their weapons and shields leaving them vulnerable and ready for boarding. Tom will then board the ship and take the senior staff in to custody from there I will then go over take command and relieve the rest of the crew. A small team will then go over and take over key positions while we tractor them back home." I said as everyone listened. "Wait a minute your mothers access codes?" Alex asked. "Yes sir, I have known those codes since I was 15." I told him. "I don't want to know, we will just omit that from the official record." He replied. I smiled. "Now Is everyone clear?" I asked. Tom looked around at everyone, and then he replied, "Yes sir." "B'Elanna is the tractor emitter fully set for towing a ship at Warp?" I asked. "Yes sir. The changes were made back in the delta quadrant by Captain Janeway and Starfleet never took the changes out." She replied. "Good. We need to bring those brats down. Let's do it." I said as everyone rose and went to work.
"Captain's Log supplemental after 2 hours at high warp the first part of my plan has already succeeded and we have lead the Sisko just as I thought. The crew is responding well to the situation. With any luck once again I do another good thing for Starfleet under my new command. End log." I said as I touched a control on my console to end the log and save it. The door chimed and in walked Alex. "Captain, I have finally been briefed and I am now up to speed. I have one thing to say while we are alone." He said sitting at my desk. "And what is that?" I asked. "If you ever shout at me again on the bridge in front of the other senior staff and I will snap you back to ensign so fast you won't know what hit you." He said. "Let's get one thing clear shall we Admiral, this is my ship and my crew. You tried to countermand my orders and told me to fire on another ship. Let's just get that clear, I am in command of this mission and will choose the appropriate actions. You're not. You are here to observe and do your job with the cadets not me. And my finally point to make Alex, is this. You may hold the rank of Admiral but you are still just a kid. I have had 4 years more experience on you. While you were just finishing the academy I was fighting the Borg alongside Captain Janeway. You were those Admiral Stars simply because you earned a battlefield promotion otherwise I guarantee you wouldn't even be a first officer yet. You don't deserve to wear those bars otherwise this would never have happened." I said then taking a moment to breath. "I'll tell you something don't ever attempt to speak to me like that again. I am the Captain and don't you ever forget that." I said sitting down in my chair. "I'll tell you something now Jack. If I were a hard arsed Admiral I would have you relieved of duty for speak to me like that, but the truth is you're right. Now, lets just get this plan into action and go home." He said. "Sounds good to me. Oh and Admiral, sorry for that. But I just think you seriously need a wakeup call." I said. He nodded and exited the ready room. 20 minutes later, i was back on the bridge ready to go. "Let's do this." i said. "They are coming within range." Harry said. "Get set." i said. "1 minute." Harry said. A few seconds later Harry said, "Ready." "Go." i ordered. "Bombs away." he said. "It worked Jack." B'Elanna said. "Their warp drive is down. " she told me. "Mr Paris take us in." i said. We came into range. "B'Elanna lock target." Tom said. "Target locked." she replied. "FIRE!" I said standing and moving to the centre of the bridge.
Two hours later I was sat on the bridge and the attack had been successful. With the help of Tom and the away team they had taken Cadet Robinson and his senior staff into custody and I had relieved the rest of the crew and put them all into crew quarters awaiting their trial. We had gone back towards the wormhole and I had informed Admiral Janeway of the situation and everything was going smoothly. I had the Sisko in tow and we were heading home. Another mission well done. I had not long finished my official report for Starfleet and told them everything with the exception of my mother's command codes and I knew that would satisfy them. I was just happy to be seeing my children again. I just hope those little misfits learned their lesson. Don't fuck with Captain Jack Carter and the crew of the U.S.S Voyager. Let's see what comes next.
