Jadzia watched Sam check his nose, and as he stood up. She shook her head in response to Sam’s query, she didn’t know much either. “I was actually hoping that you could tell me what happened. All I know is that we were running some tests on a new ship we were working on…” she indicated the one behind her “and we were back aboard the Outpost working out a few things. Then all hell broke loose.” She crossed her arms, obviously upset about what happened “This alien ship appeared in the system, the Knoxville was dispatched to challenge it and identify it. They never said anything, nothing; they just opened fire.”
Although completely unlike her, her eyes watered slightly “Both the Knoxville and the Tersokis moved and engaged the ship, but it kept coming anyway. Once in range, the Outpost began engaging also and launched its fighters; they weren’t invincible but they continued to advance even while sustaining such great damage. Then they started boarding us, and the Starships; it was some form of transportation device, crude but effective. Then the killing began… They killed everyone that resisted, and drug off the ones that didn’t…” She looked away from Sam and back at her ship, the dead crewmember aboard was being removed by medical personnel. “We got aboard just as one of the things entered the hanger bay, it attacked while we departing. We were attacked in space and left for dead, the front console exploded and killed ‘Willy’ there under a torent of fire from the alien ship… I’ve never seen anything like them before, and didn’t get a good glimpse of them either.”
She paused a moment, as if trying to remember a nightmare “I didn’t want to run, I’d never run, but we were ordered out to engage the ship. We didn’t know we’d been boarded until just before departure, we weren’t up to combat specs so it didn’t take long for us to get knocked out of the fight… Who are they? What do th…” she didn’t get to finish her sentence.
The Terrasect rocked heavy to port side, and sent everyone in the hanger bay crashing to the deck, the Quetzalcoatl ship had engaged the Terrasect.

Buford was prepping a shuttle, when he saw Grant nodded a dismissive hand toward him and say . “Just get our people back…”
"Yes Sir!" Buford said that quickly became a yelp as the ship rocked, and he was thrown into the shuttle hull then hit the floor
Standing he held his side, he looked to make sure everyone was OK, he knew the shuttle was a no go now As the Ship went to Red Alert "I'll get back to the Bridge Sir" he starts for the bridge
Helm Action
The Assist Helm sees a ship drop out of Transwarp and fire "Incoming fire" he yells and tries to dodge the fire, the ship rocks as the port side is head, he is knocked forward slamming his head into the console, everything goes black as he is knocked out

OOC: *grumbles something about being pulled in too many directions but you could tell that he likes it*
Away Team Actions:
As they started to walk again, Kate suddenly stepped up on some box and grabbed him by the back of the neck, like a child and lifted him off the ground, with relative ease. His ears flicked back in surprise, as his tail stiffened a bit, His fur spiked a little and he gaped at her a moment ( all this is in surprise, by the way ). After listened to her little speech, his tail starts twitching "I know for a fact that you need no protection, especially from me. As for treating you like a male, that will be quite difficult to do since you are not a male, but I shall endeavor to think of you as one. Now, if you don't mind.."
The box that Kate was standing on suddenly bent and gave way, sending Kate back to the floor. He had more of a ways to go as she had him lifted in the air. His feet touched the floor a second later. As they were eye level for a second or two, She could see the irritation in his eyes as she had him by the scruff of the neck. She let go a moment later, him thinking that it wasn't because of the irritation she saw
as she told him that he was acting human, his irritation grew to annoyance "It is not just a human trait to show compassion for one's comrades. Don't insult me that way, Kate. You should know me better then that"He emphasized "should" to add a bit of emphasis
As she looked away, he looked up and over her shoulder, hearing the Lizard's growling get closer and he knew he was gaining and here they were arguinglike two human lovers in a disagreement . Just then the ships proximity alarms go off and he wondered "what now?" He followed Kate over to a terminal and looked over her shoulder to see an unknown vessel had came out of a transwarp conduit "Not good" he muttered and turned and jogged down the corridor, hearing Kate's last parting comments, even her "Be careful" which surprised him
At this time, he didn't have the time to be surprised. He switched to hunter mode and, his senses of smell and hearing heightening. After reaching an open area, and making sure he had an escape route, he started roaring, to attract the Lizard
Tactical Action:
The Assistant Tactical Officer was still manning the Tactical station, monitoring Tactical sensors and systems, even after his immediate boss, the furry feline had left the bridge for his away team assignment. He was there when the canine officer left then called to the bridge a few minutes later and the Commander left to go check on him.
When the unknown vessel came out of a transwarp portal, his eyes bugged a bit and he immediately raised shields then called Grant "Sir! We've got company! An unknown vessel has just came out a transwarp.." his voice suddenly went up an octave "They're fir..." He got out before the ship was rocked by the force of enemy fire. He fought to stay on his feet and not be thrown across the bridge. It was no easy task. He saw the Ensign that replaced the Canine Helm officer get knocked out. He muttered an oath, also muttering, as he quickly transferred Helm control to tactical "What else could happen"? then just as quickly said, "never mind. I don't want to know" As he started evasive maneuvers, sensors detect the self destruct has been activated on the Terkosis.
Security Action:
The Security XO was in the Chief's office getting a report from the officer that found the toddler in the Jefferies tube and took him back to sickbay when the ship suddenly rocked. As he was lounging back slightly in his seat, the action sent him sprawling to the floor "What in the Blue Blazes.."? He exclaimed as he went to pick himself off the deck, then it hit him "We're under attack!" He then told the other officer, who was also picking himself off the deck "Code Alpha three niner, get moving" The officer nodded, then turned to exit the Chief's office, tapping his badge to alert the other security teams "Code Alpha three niner, I repeat, Code Alpha Three Niner!" Which basically meant to secure the ship and to prepare to repel boarders

"What are you doing woman, ya need to lay down, or sit at the very lest. I assume your jumping up is from confusion, or perhaps a racial thing. I dun care what causes it, but ya need to sit or lay down. You had major surgery and blood transfusions."
"I am not surprised ya dun recall being here. You nearly killed yourself, slicing into your side as ya did. Ya build something and then put in a thing I call a power cell to power the nest/incubator. Opening some blood vessels causing too much bleeding, while you were at it. I might add." Colina's voice raised and had its own tone to it. "Had ya told me, woman I would have helped ya. I am a doctor after all and the one who saved your son and with Dr Jacobs help saved you and the egg as well. Maybe were ya from Doctors are mistrusted, and perhaps despise but that not so here. I will do all I can to take care of you and the wee bairn. (small child) But that care be will be only so so until ya decide to trust me and open to me."
She took a deep breath and her tone returned to normal. "My name is Colina Mac Auley. To be honest I'm not sure where we are in space at the moment. Been somewhat busy. The ship is the USS Terrasect NCC 70000."
"If ya dun sit soon I'll have to have someone come and make ya sit. Ya too weak woman, ya hear me. You can fool others with this show of strength but it isn't working with me. Yes I said Grant. Damn it." as she said as Ann hit the wall and messed with the wiring. "That's it." She tapped on her com badge "MacAuley to Grant, ya need to get down here now! And handle this mess. I'll be in my office."
As she walked away she was talking in her native language which was re instated slowly after Scotland regained her sovienty in the late 1990's. She was at her wits end and for the first time since becoming a doctor she wondered why she did that to herself.

Sam had only been on his feet a matter of minutes when he tasted the decking again, however it was not a blow from his sister that sent him flying; he knew that feeling. There was a short, transmission from the Bridge before they’d been hit, but Sam had a bad feeling he knew what it was.
Sam was already running, right on Buford’s heals, “I’m right behind you!” and they hurried into the turbo lift. The Terrasect rocked again, from another hit. The turbo lift doors opened and Sam was at the center chair, relieving the young officer who looked deathly afraid, it was at this time that he realized he’d left Jadzia in the Hanger Bay, alone, but she could take care of herself.
He hurriedly directed the bridge medics to assist the wounded helmsmen, and nodded as Lt. Hound retook his station. He asked for a damage report, which he promptly received; his stomach churned at the realization that had the Terrasect not been at Battle Stations when the ship fired, they wouldn’t be here to worry about it. Shields or not, the shot had lowered their port side shielding by almost 45% with a single shot, and had affected some damage to their ablative armor.
Sam ordered that helm keep ‘bow-to-bow’ with this intruder (the Quetzalcoatl Ship), he wanted to see them ‘eye-to-eye’. Sam activated hailing frequencies “This is Lt. Cmdr. Samuel Grant of the Federation Starship Terrasect, we are well aware of your previous actions and will defend ourselves if necessary. We demand to know what happened to our people and why you’ve attacked us without provocation.” Sam was not, by any stretch of the word, a diplomat. Not even allowing time for his transmission to sink in, he added “You have 30 seconds to answer me, as you will not find me ‘wanting’ in the face of battle; we’ll not be as easy as your previous prey.”
Closing the hail, his combadge went off “Not now, Doctor. We’re in a wee-bit-of-a-mess up here and I think we’re about to become a statistic for Starfleet records; prepare for casualties…” His voiced would have carried over the communicator easily, and it carried with it a sense of eerie calm; as if Sam was having a normal conversation. He wasn’t acting excited, or even agitated. When he entered into situations such as there, there was no time to think about what you were doing, or going to do, or should have done; he spoke matter-of-factly during crisis’s.
Sam was a realist, which was a good thing at times and not good at others. This ship matched the one that had attacked the outpost a dozen hours ago or so, and had taken out two heavily armed starships and an armed outpost; what could they do with one ship…
With that, Sam looked at the tactical officer “Prepare to fire all weapons; pattern omega delta six. Then stand by for separation and multi-attack mode…” The Terrasect was one of the few Prometheus design Starships that allowed it to split into 3 different ship sections, all 3 with heavy weapons and shielding.
25 seconds…. 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18…

*** ^^^ Terrasect Story / Action (Quetzalcoatl )^^^ *** An dead silence echoed through space, and through the Terrasect’s Bridge. Surprisingly, the Quetzalcoatl ship held its fire. Although it continued to maneuver, it didn’t fire. Of all the possibilities that had gone through the Terrasect’s CO’s mind, this was not one of them. As the ultimatum time had ended, the Terrasect held its fire, as both ships appeared to by in a blinking contest; the first one too would lose. The Quetzalcoatl Ship was a massive beast, although it easily dwarfed the Akria Class Starships, the Terrasect was much larger, but was still smaller then the beast it showed off with. Where as the Terrasect looked sleek and like a starship of at least a half caring populace, the Quetzalcoatl ship was more of a ‘barge’, it looked as if it had been pieced together a small section at a time, not worrying about how it looked our how it operated. It wasn’t fast, nor agile, but like a bully on the school yard it packed a wallop. Truth be told, and unknown to the Federation Personnel, that was exactly what it was. Quetzalcoatl ships were ships, in one variation or another in the beginning, but as their ‘pack’ grew; they continued to add onto the ship. Each section its own compartment, separately added on for one reason or another. As the ship and its ‘pack’ grew, they added additional weaponry as needed. Although easily characterized as a ‘Capital Ship’ by Federation Standards, it was only of moderate size when compared to others Quetzalcoatl ships. As the two ships faced off, the Quetzalcoatl ship’s weapons glistened; there were dozens upon dozens of weapon ports of all kinds. Energy weapons, solid munitions, plasma weaponry, all matters of torpedoes… the list went on and on. The ship wasn’t designed to out maneuver its adversaries or score precision hits; it’d just pummel you to death and take whatever was left. Then, with a start and a lisp the Quetzalcoatl Ship responded to the Terrasect’s hail “ Preeeeeyy?” it began, audio only “ You sssspeeeak of Preeeeyy? Youuuu arrrree Preeeyyy. Youuu nooo ruuuun? Yoouuuu tallk like huntersssss, but yoouuu noooot. Yooouuu areeeee strong preeey, worthy killllll.” There was an audible hiss as it took a deep breath; it was not the Federation’s Universal Translator that was allowing them to be understood, horrifyingly it was the enemy ship that was doing the translating. “ Nooooot liiiiike othersssss, theeeey weeerree weeeaak prey; noooo joooy, nooo fuuun.” Another deep breath came over the communicator “ Buuuut yooouuuu maaakeee usssssssss wooooork foooor oouur fooood tooodaaaayyy; yoouuuu wooorth thheeee eeeefooort.” Another deep breath “ Weeeee Quetzalcoatl, weeee miiightyy huuuntersss, weeeee feeed paaack; yoouuu ‘huuummiiiesssssss’, yoouuu preeeey…” the voice trailed off. |

*** ^^^ Terrasect Story / Action (Quetzalcoatl ) ^^^ *** Location: Tersokis – CorridorThe young Quetzalcoatl slowed down every few hundred meters or so to double check he was heading in the right direction, his forked tongue slithering through the air like a party toy. He came upon a concentrated scent, where they must have stopped. But, then the scents went in different directions. The ‘unique’ one seemed to double back and the feline head continued to head away from him. He hungered for the ‘unique’ one, her scent was special in someway and it was over powering his thoughts, he stood momentarily confused in which direction he should pursue, but deciding he wanted her instead he turned to follow her. As he did so, he heard a ‘roar’ that wasn’t his own, and turned in multiple directions as he ‘followed the vibrations’ back to its source. “ A challeeeeenge… Gutssssssyyyy preeeeey...” it said to itself. The Quetzalcoatl bounded, hard and with huge strides, after the source of the sound. As it rounded one of the corridors, it saw the feline standing in the center of the room. The Quetzalcoatl stopped, a tooth filled grin covered its face, and the knuckle claws extended “ ssssstuipd preeeeyyy…” he slithered and ran hard at Grabfoot. Not even trying to duck, the Quetzalcoatl head smashed right through a low hanging bulkhead, not even phasing him; but demolishing the reinforced material. It roared a ear splitting guttural roar that would deafen a normal set of years, let alone heightened hearing such as Grabfoot would have had. It charged him head on… Location: Tersokis – Corridor |

Location: Hanger Bay
Jadzia pulled herself up and heard the communication exchange from the Bridge, she was pretty sure she knew who arrived. She wanted to help, but it wasn’t her ship and hers was out of commission at the moment; it’d suffered heavy damage. Figuring they’d probably end up being boarded and fall to these aliens, regardless of the efforts of her ‘noble’ brother, she was determined to take as many with her as possible.
But she was beginning to feel the effects of being so close to the radiation and the plasma conduits, the burns across her skin were beginning to blister heavily. She walked out of the hanger bay and had the computer show her how to get to Sickbay, she then headed off.
By the time she’d entered Sickbay, even her families well known endurance had begun to buckle to the injuries she’d suffered. She didn’t so much as walk into Sickbay as limp, struggle, drag herself inside. One of the guarding security officers caught her, as she began to collapse in the doorway, and carried her in. The guard yelled “We need a medic over here…”
Jadzia looked out of place, she wore a Starfleet Uniform, but it was obviously a fighter’s uniform instead of the standard patterns. But the Terrasect hadn’t had a fighter squadron aboard, nor had word of her being taken aboard passed along yet; things had been a little hectic. Her critical medical information was on her dog tags she wore around her neck, but by the time she was helped to a bio-bed; she’d began to fall in and out of consciousness.
Her skin was a bright red where the uniform didn’t cover and a pink where it did. On the exposed areas it began to blister, the highly concentrated heat and radiation had done a fair share of damage. Had it not been for Jadzia taking the anti-radiation medication while aboard her ship, she’d have died along time ago; but even anti-rad medication was a permanent protection. She was unlike Sam in almost everyway possible, size, weight, attitude, demeanor. Her body was all human, but her natural skin color was the whitest of white that a Caucasian female could be; which made the burns all that more prominent. But, her body was covered in scars and it was obvious by the bio scanners that she had suffered numerous injuries in her lifetime; broken bones, lacerations, weapon burns, etc.
She laid, limply, on the bio-bed while the medical staff saw to her sickness. Almost in a stooper, she kept repeating in a mumbled voice… “Grant, Jadzia J… Service number 311849294 Robert Mike… Rank: Wing Commander…” She was developing a fever too.

Tactical Action:
As the lizard ship pounded the Terrasect, he wanted so much to fire back but he would wait for the order from the commander before he would do so. The young officer in the center seat now looked so afraid that he looked like he was about to wet his knickers. When the Commander and the Canine Helm Officer burst back onto the bridge, he immediately transferred Helm control back to Helm, then reported to Grant that with one shot, the port shields were lowered to 57%, thus sustaining 43% damage. He reported that he had just raised shields just as he opened a hailing frequency to the lizard ship
After demanding from the lizard why they have attacked for no reason, and telling the doctor to wait, the commander looked back to him and said “Prepare to fire all weapons; pattern omega delta six. Then stand by for separation and multi-attack mode…” He gave a nod, "Yes, Sir. Attack Pattern Omega Delta Six. Standng by for sep and multi-attack mode." As he confirmed what the commander ordered, he was tapping the appropriate commands into the control board
Away Team Action: ( Grab Foot )
He had entered what looked like the 10 forward lounge of the Terkosis and started his roaring, hoping to distract the beast away from Kate. It sounded like the tactic wasn't going to work as he sensed the lizard about to double back towards Kate then it hesitated and started coming for him. He could feel in the deck plating he was coming fast and hard
He got into a defensive stance just as the lizard rounded the corner. The Lizard stopped when he saw him in the middle of the room, He saw him smile, showing off his sword like teeth, then glanced down at his paws, only to see his claws were out and ready to shred anything they could get a hold of, namely him. He heard the hissed "Ssssssssssttuuppiidd Preeeeeyyy" and he countered with "I am no one's prey, least of all, yours" then extended his own 6 inch claws, preparing for battle
He watched as the Lizard charged, right through an overhanging bulkhead with not so much a blink, the bulkhead, however, was demolished. He thought to himself as Lizard was charging ~ and here I thought I had a hard head ~
The Lizard suddenly let out an ear piercing roar, which deafened and disoriented him. He grunted and spat, cursing a bit, hoping the deafness would be temporary. He then focused back on the beast, which was now charging him head on. He had no choice but to move, as he was only a few feet away
Jumping to the side, and onto a table, he avoided the bull-like charge, barely. He turned and watch the beast crash into another table he had been standing next to. He wanted to finish this battle quickly, but he knew he had to distract the beast long enough for Kate to get the warp core free and now, he had to bide time for himself as he was a bit disoriented from the beast's roar. He switched to defensive mode. he didn't wait for the beast to come at him again, He leapt off the table, turned and grabbed it and threw it hard at the lizard, knowing it most likely wouldn't do much good and moved over to the other side of the room to wait for it's next attack

Running to the Bridge he hears Grant “I’m right behind you!” he enters the TL a second later Grant enters "Bridge" the TL moves a second latter it stops and the exit.
Entering the Bridge he takes his station removing the Helms man that was out cold, Grant calls for the status as the reports come in, Buford keeps the Bow of the ship at the Bow of their ship
Grant hailed them “This is Lt. Cmdr. Samuel Grant of the Federation Starship Terrasect, we are well aware of your previous actions and will defend ourselves if necessary. We demand to know what happened to our people and why you’ve attacked us without provocation.” Grant quickly Added “You have 30 seconds to answer me, as you will not find me ‘wanting’ in the face of battle; we’ll not be as easy as your previous prey.” then he closed the hail
Buford was about to speak when Grants combadge went off “Not now, Doctor. We’re in a wee-bit-of-a-mess up here and I think we’re about to become a statistic for Starfleet records; prepare for casualties…” Buford could hear the clam in Grants voiced and sense his nervousnesses this, but that was buried by a sense of Anger anddeterminationn to save his crew.
Buford knew the ship matched the one that had attacked the outpost a dozen hours ago or so, and had taken out two heavily armed starships and an armed outpost; they were in as the Humans say Hot water, He then heard Grant order “Prepare to fire all weapons; pattern omega delta six. Then stand by for separation and multi-attack mode…” Buford knew the ship could become 3different ships
25 seconds…. 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18…
"Sir if we send the Electromagnetic energy from the warp into the Main deflector dishuntill it becomescriticall then fire it at that ship, it will make an EMP and shut that ship down" he says as he keeps the Bow of the ship to their bow
They two ships were in a staring contest when the enemy ship hailed them “Preeeeeyy?” it began, audio only “You sssspeeeak of Preeeeyy? Youuuu arrrree Preeeyyy. Youuu nooo ruuuun? Yoouuuu tallk like huntersssss, but yoouuu noooot. Yooouuu areeeee strong preeey, worthy killllll.” They talked in a hiss then it took a deep breath; Buford quickly knew it was not Federations Univerasl Translator but the enemy ship that was doing the translating.
“Nooooot liiiiike othersssss, theeeey weeerree weeeaak prey; noooo joooy, nooo fuuun.” Another deep breath came over the communicator “Buuuut yooouuuu maaakeee usssssssss wooooork foooor oouur fooood tooodaaaayyy; yoouuuu wooorth thheeee eeeefooort.” Another deep breath “Weeeee Quetzalcoatl, weeee miiightyy huuuntersss, weeeee feeed paaack; yoouuu ‘huuummiiiesssssss’, yoouuu preeeey…” the voice trailed off.
A growl came from Buford "I haven't had a good hunt sense I left my home would" he shakes that from his mind

*** ^^^ Terrasect Story / Action (Quetzalcoatl ) ^^^ *** Location: Tersokis – LoungeThe Quetzalcoatl was not agile enough to adjust its heading once at full tilt, it missed Grabfoot and smashed apart the bar and put a huge dent into the wall, yet somehow not going through it. As if not even knowing the damage it had done, it turned back to where Grabfoot was now standing. The flung table crashed into the Quetzalcoatl’s face, it stepped back reeling from the hit, but came on again. As if propelling itself with its hands, it smashed downwards, completely demolishing what remained of the bar. It came at Grabfoot fast, bounding again, it swung high with its claws and as it spun around it swept in low with its tail. For all the dangers the Quetzalcoatl contained, they were often cumbersome and slow; but powerful. It would not be hard for Grabfoot to dodge their attacks, but even though slow; Grabfoot would run out of energy before a Quetzalcoatl. It hissed and grunted as it swung and lashed out; it clapped its hands together in the hopes of catching Grabfoot between them, and chomped downwards with its teeth. It also hurled its spear in frustration, missing Grabfoot without much effort. It was getting angry. “ Yooooouuuuur’reee fasssssst; quuuiiiick preeeeyyy. Buuuuuut yooouuuu tiiiireeee, yeeesssss?” The Quetzalcoatl had to breath in, deeply; although speaking via a translator it carried with him, its breathing was very labored. It took a lot of effort to speak, especially slow enough for it to make sense. “Buuuuuut yoooouuuu woooooorth the eeeeeeefffoort, yoooouuuuu gooooooooood preeeeeeey...” it grinned, being as close as they were, it was easy to see a section of Starfleet uniform stuck in between a few of its teeth. It lunged again… Location: Tersokis – Lounge |

Sam looked at the screen, definitely, and thought but a moment. It was time to blink. 1,500 presumed dead, the Terrasect filled with over 1,000 people that too could become ‘victims’ of these things, a warning that needed to be sent back to Starfleet Command before anyone else walked into this trap.
Without turning back, Sam said simply “Well, then chew on this…Fire!”. The Terrasect’s weapons discharged and struck the Quetzalcoatl ship, dark black marks scorching her hull where their shields buckled. The Quantum Torpedoes caused bright blue flashes off her hull and shielding, followed by the red star bursts of her Photon Torpedoes.
As if thinking the same thing, the Quetzalcoatl ship boomed with its weapons. A museum buffet of ordinance came from it, old fashion solid incased torpedoes with explosive warheads to a bright green plasma discharge that stuck the bow shielding; overloading the circuits entirely. “Bring us about, three quarters impulse. Attack pattern Victor Tom Four…” The Terrasect shook under the bombardment, but continued to return fire.
A hit in the port shields, by what was thought to be a ‘cobalt’ device, collapsed the shield and inverted the hull plating so badly, that 3 entire decks became uninhabitable in a matter of seconds. Radiological Alarms began clanging in the affected decks. To make matters worst, the impact had fused several of the bulk heads and release mechanisms for the MVA mode of the Terrasect; thus preventing it from being able to separate.
Sam grunted as the ship rocked again, frustrated by the set back. “Readjust speed to full impulse, attack pattern Whiskey Delta Four… Mr. Hound, keep the strongest shields towards that ship!” Sam’s knuckles where white; not because of fear or injury, but he was holding so tightly onto the chair arm rests so as not fall out from the jarring impacts.
The Terrasect was taking a pounding, but was dishing out as good as it was getting. The Quetzalcoatl ship, upon an impact of Q. Torpedoes, suffered a hull breach and a large compartmentalized section blew off the stern of the ship, the ship itself seemed to limp wounded now. “Focus the Torpedo fire on that exposed section, have the phaser fire strike random parts of the shielding…” he ordered the tactical officer.
As he watched the maneuvering engagement on the sensors, he felt an on rush of a migraine come upon him. He thought he’d must have been injured somehow during the exchange of fire, although consoles had blown out on the bridge, there’d been no injures reported yet. Sam was no master tactician, but things were not looking good for the Terrasect this time. The Quetzalcoatl ship was using a huge array of weapons, several of them banned in the Federation; but being used to horrific effect now.
His face felt damp, he rubbed his mouth and found his hand covered in blood, but it wasn’t from the punch that he’d received below deck earlier, his nose was bleeding; heavily. The migraine pounded behind his eyes, he could have swore he was hearing something, but couldn’t quiet make it out. “Keep…a…wa…..eep…ah….y….ep…..way.. eep..ah way!” he was unaware that Kate was trying to warn him, via Drak telepathy. The question was would he realize it in time…

Buford Sam say “Well, then chew on this…Fire!” Tac fired and struck the Quetzalcoatl ship, Buford saw dark black marks scorching her hull where their shields buckled. bright blue flashes off her hull and shielding from their Quantum Torpedoes, followed by the red star bursts of her Photon Torpedoes.
The Quetzalcoatl ship opened fire with its weapons. everything from old fashion solid incased torpedoes with explosive warheads to a bright green plasma discharge that stuck the bow shielding; overloading the circuits entirely. Grant yelled out “Bring us about, three quarters impulse. Attack pattern Victor Tom Four…” As the Terrasect shook from the Quetzalcoatl fire, "Aye Sir"Buford called as he maneuvered the ship, it continued to return fire.
The port shields took a hit rocking the ship "Frack" Buford said, reports started coming in the Port shield collapsed and 3 entire decks became uninhabitable in a matter of seconds. Buford could heard the Radiological Alarms in the back ground of those giving the damaged reports. On Buford's Console his MVA light went Red of the Terrasect; "MVA Mod is Red were unable to separate" he calls out
Buford was manging not to be toss from his seat do to the jarring impacts “Readjust speed to full impulse, attack pattern Whiskey Delta Four… Mr. Hound, keep the strongest shields toward that ship!” Sam yells Buford makes the adjustments "Aye Sir"
he yells
Buford Maneuvered the Ship as it was taking a pounding, but was dishing out as good as it was getting. Buford saw a bright blue flashes from a Q.Torpedoes as they hit the Quetzalcoatl ship, He saw debris from the Quetzalcoatl ship as it suffered a hull breach and a large compartmentalized section blew off the stern of the ship, Grant also saw this and yelled “Focus the Torpedo fire on that exposed section, have the phaser fire strike random parts of the shielding…” to the tactical officer.
Buford maneuvered the ship so they could fire on the exposed section Buford knew things were not looking good for the Terrasect this time. The Quetzalcoatl ship was using a huge array of weapons, that were being used to horrific effect.

Tactical Action:
He hand was poised over the firing key when Grant simply stated "Well, Chew on this. .Fire!"
He tapped a key, the Terrasect letting loose with a full barrage of weapons fire, Quantum torpedos, Photon Torpedos, and torpedos in between, mixed with multiple blasts from the phasers
The Lizard ship, of course, returned fire and he had to hang on to something or risk being thrown across the bridge. He cringed a bit as some of the tactical circuits started sparking and overloading, thinking the fur ball isn't gonna be happy with him if the Tactical systems aren't in working order
Suddenly the port shields were disintegrated by what looked like a tri-cobalt torpedo, along with the shielding, three decks had also been disintegrated, and the deck plating fused together, making MVA mode impossible. He cursed a bit and then reported this to Grant, who cursed his displeasure as well
Ah, some good news for a change as the sensors detected a hole in their shields and a rather large hull breach in the stern section. He smiled a bit, a little demented-like as he started re-aligning the targeting sensors to the hull breach, hearing Grant order to focus all weapons to the point. Once target lock was established, he let loose with everything the Terrasect had
Away team Action: ( Grab Foot's )
He watches as the Lizard crashed head first into the bar and the wall behind it. His hearing started to come back, much to his relief, as the Lizard dislodged from the wall and decided to demolish the rest of the bar. He heard the splintering of wood and buckling of metal
The Lizard charged again, this time swinging his massive arm in attempt to slice a chunk out of him, swinging his tail at the same to take his feet out from under him. He dodged both with relative ease, using his unique quickness. He noted, in the heat of battle that the lizard's actions were a bit slow and clumsy, but if he ever landed a blow, he knew he would be in trouble
He had to jump back again as he tried to clasp his massive paws onto him and take a bite out of him with his teeth. He saw that he was about to throw his spear and he dodged to the side to avoid that
He decided to switch to offensive mode after the spear throw, thinking that the lizard would be off balance and most likely wouldn't be prepared for the switch in tactics. He heard the Lizard's hissed “Yooooouuuuur’reee fasssssst; quuuiiiick preeeeyyy. Buuuuuut yooouuuu tiiiireeee, yeeesssss?”
He countered with a hissed "We'll sssseeeee who tiressss firsssst and who will be the preeeeyyy" He could hear the Lizard's labored breathing wondered if he had the stamina for a drawn out battle, he know he did but he wasn't about the let Fangs know
For a brief moment, he thought he could smell Kate come into the area from behind but he shook that off, as he charged in and delivered a series pf powerful punches into the chest of the lizard, hoping he could make his breathing more labored, the lizard seemed to reel from his unexpected attack
Suddenly he felt a message inside his head and the message was simple "Move, Cat Boy"!
As he delivered his last punch, he was in the process of moving back when the lizard got in a landed punch of his own and he was sent flying. He yelped in pain and surprise nd bounced off one table and crashed into another. He had to shake his head on that one. That was a pretty potent blow. Any normal person would have been KO'd, but thanks to his hard head, he was only shaking more cobwebs loose

He heard Kate's voice verbally as she walked into the room. He was shaking the last of the cobwebs away when he looked up and saw Kate. Instinctively, he reached up and caught the helmet she tossed at him as it was about to bonk him on the head
He watched as the air around Kate started to heat up and she advised him Fur’ Balls! I suggest when you're done playing patty cake with Kermit the gecko here. Things are going to get hot. Really hot! Once you see the light, run back to the core!!!
He could feel the heat radiating from Kate, even through the Environmental suit and it was already too hot for him. He didn't hesitate, he scrambled to his feet and ran out into the hall to escape most of the heat
He looked on as Kate turned into a living Flame and attacked the lizard with looked like whips made of fire. She literally carved into him like he would a grabfoot or a slashback. As Ann retracted the whips, she paused momentarily in her attack enough to ask him if he had ever had broiled lizard?
He merely shook his head no as she continued to pour the heat on the lizard, literally. Flames shot out of her arms and incinerated the lizard, he could hear, the pained shrieking of the lizard as it was being cooked alive, heard the sizzling and crackling of the lizards skin and innards and he then wished he was deaf again, even for a few moments. It was grotesque, even for him
He watched when she was done cooking the lizard, go over and cut a few cooked pieces off of him then come over and hand him a piece. He merely looked at it for a moment before looking to Kate as she took a bite, watching the juices and blood trickle down her mouth. At his surprised look, she looked up and questioned him "What?! I haven't had my dinner yet", She stated before turned and ran back down the hallway towards the warp core
He started after her and popped the lizard piece she gave him in his mouth as he done so ~ "Not bad" ~ he thought to himself then gave Kate an amused look "I saw nothing wrong with you grabbing a snack. I just thought the blood looked good tricking down your.. chin"
He chuckle-hissed and resumed his trek back to the core, with Kate
