Dillon asked, "What about the surviving Orions?"

David looked at the 2 Orions that were left as they were leaving the bridge, "What surviving Orions? Piracy is not tolerated within the Federation." The doors hissed shut he welded them shut with his phaser rifle, sealing them inside.

He looked at the shocked look on Dillon's face when he saw how dark his XO could be. David rolled his eyes, "Webb to transporter room. Beam the survivors aboard. But save the Orions on the bridge for last... IF you have the time. If so, they'll go directly to the brig." He looked at Dillon again, "Better?"

"Works for me," replied the Marine.

USS Shadow

Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "We shall see Commander." she commented quietly as she finished healing the Captain's head wound. "There, good as new... may I go back to sickbay?"

"Yes Commander," Yoshi stated as she looked at her. "Thanks," She added.

Yamaguchi turned, she then quickly walked off of the bridge.

Meanwhile on the USS Courageous, Jake Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow. "Status?"

"They are putting up quite the fight..." came the response from Lieutenant Anita Renolds, the woman had a smile on her face.

Yamaguchi chuckled softly. "Sounds diverting." he commented. "I miss my wife..." he admitted.

Neban Hulur chuckled softly. "I think you need to get out more Jake."

"Yes... I do." Yamaguchi commented as he watched a torpedo spread crash into the Orion vessel, all but demolishing her engines.
"Try hailing them now."

"Your on Captain." Renolds commented with a smile.

"Orion vessel, I'll give you one last chance to surrender to me... now... or I will blast you out of space... you have ten seconds to comply."

Brakka knew he was beaten, he had not been expecting his new weapons to fail so dismally or the reinforcement of a Federation battleship
to support the Battlecruiser that had been disabled.

USS Shadow - Jefferies tube / Engineering

Maxwell had been running the order over and overin his head, not that it was attitude or anything, but he found it rather amusing the sort of idea's and comebacks it brought. Should he have been thinking about the current crisis? Yes he probably should be, but until he actually got to engineering he wasn't in a position to really do anything to save anyone. Thus he kept his mind occupied focusing on light hearted things and avoiding the more troubling aspects. "I'm not keen on the Pirates catching us with our trousers down to our ankles either ya know? That's a particular breeze that I rather doubt I'd want to feel... Are you listening to me? Oh, Right. The door's closed... Geeze do I hate these damn cigar tubes." he commented more to himself given the fact that he was in a air tight secured tube with a ways to go to engineering. Ten minutes going in the same direction, he moved down the hallway where he saw one of his good natured friends and comrades, A vulcan by the name of Jorel. Given the fact that the pointed eared man was busy securing a power conduit, he figured that it was probably best that he left the person alone. Thus he moved down the pathway, only to stop seeing the path ahead littered with bulkhead and a body. Jogging ahead, he reached down to take a pulse only to stand up and move down the pathway. They were dead. Him wasting time in trying to do anythign about it wasn't going to do any good.

He had to focus on the living before allowing that sort of greif to take him.

Thus he reached down towards a floor panel, pried it open, and ensured that the landing was clear before he jumped down to the next floor and walked down the pathway. Two lefts and a right later, he was where he needed to be. Engineering, and it looked like there was havok. Thus he brought his fingers to his lips and blew, sending forth a loud whistle that shut everyone up. "ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH! Ladies and Gentlemen, yes, we've some problems. Now it's time to address them. Supervisors and team leads around the island now." He ordered. "Jenkins. Jim. You two take some men and head down to the bottom deck and see how bad things are there, also check on the secondary processor units and set up some field equipment for active scanning and monitoring. Shiala, head to the Main Shuttle Bay, set up the Runabouts communication array and tie it into our frequencies, when that happens, coordinate with us and Sickbay, I want our teams on all decks to report in and tell us just what sort of shape they are in. Rhiana, your with me. Shields, weapons, propulsion, I'll settle for thrusters. The rest of you, We've blow outs on all decks, get up there and get a handle on them. We're keeping the warp core shut down and working on Fusion and emergency back up generators from here on out." He ordered before he saw someone staring at a couple of bodies that were on the floor, unmoving with shrapnel in them. "If you can save people, do so, I won't fault you, but leave the dead."

"Sir!" One protested, and there Maxell turned and regarded the one that spoke.

"Our job is to focus on the living. You can't help those that aren't." he stated before he looked towards the warp core.

Meanwhile on the Courageous, Jake sighed softly as Renolds reported that the Freighter had been boarded and so had the Orion vessel, he looked at Neban. "Send our friends some help, I think they will need it..." as the massive man nodded, he then rose to his feet as he called the Colonel he turned to Elizabeth Kurleenbear. "Beth. get me the Orion again."

"Your up sir." the svelte blonde responded with a smile.

"Orion Captain. I warned you and now.... I'm going to make my point clear." he nodded to Renolds who nodded back. "Beam a Nuke onboard." he commented, the warhead that was actually going over was several dozen flash bangs.

"Federation I will-" the com cut out with a loud crackle and thumping sound as Jake smiled. "Excellent... I think that'll be the last we're going to hear from him." Jake commented. "Anita, get me the Shadow." he rose to his feet. "Shadow. We've taken out the bridge...I'm going to send you a few dozen Engineers and medics... also send me some of your wounded." he nodded to his second officer, the massive man named Kurleenbear. "All Medical personnel, report for duty, say again, all medical personnel, lets go save some lives...."

"Captain Yamaguchi, we will be needing a tow back to Starbase 400 once the away team is back on board....unfortunatly we can't back it back on our own." Yoshi stated.

Yamaguchi nodded his head. "Consider it done." he responded evenly. "As soon as we clean up, we will walk you home." he then smiled. "but make sure you get your impulse engines working.... you'll go in from the edge of the system on your own power with your heads held high." Yamaguchi knew that it was important to a crew's morale that they could go into spacedock under their own power. "Also. I have some medics and engineers who can help you..." what Jake left unsaid was word on his youngest sister.

Once everyone was onboard and the survivors where in sickbay, the freighter had exploded. "USS Shadow to USS Courageous, everyone is on board and a counted for. We are ready for that tow home," Yoshi stated as she looked around. She also sent word to Starbase 400 to be expecting us.

Yamaguchi nodded. "Understood." he commented before turning to Lieutenant Renolds, the svelte woman smiled as she went to work, shortly thereafter the USS Shadow was secured in a tractor beam from the USS Courageous. Jake looked to his massive first officer. "Neban. send the Shadow whatever we have that's not nailed down.... I think they will need all the help they can get."

"I'm already on it Jake." Neban responded with a smile. "Mike and Patricia both tell me they have ample people to spare and those not involved want to help anyway."

Yamaguchi chuckled softly, he knew 'Mike' and 'Patricia' was a reference to Lieutenants Michael Walsingham and Patricia Cole, the Chief Engineer and the Chief Medical Officer respectively. "Sounds good." he commented. "Hopefully Celeste is alright..." Jake admitted.

"Celeste is a Yamaguchi, she'll be fine." Neban smiled at his longtime friend and Commanding Officer. "Also.. what did we make out with?"

"In terms of Prisoners.... we have Sixteen lives ones, three dead ones and a rather angry man named Brakka who is swearing revenge upon us for what we did to him." Beth Kurleenbear smiled at her commanding officer from the back of the bridge.

"Serves the basterd right." Bear responded evenly.

Yamaguchi nodded. "Inform the Shadow that we have their prisoners until they can take them off our hands.... this mission is theirs to complete after all." Yamaguchi commented with a soft sigh. "Have Doctor Cole inform me when she starts getting wounded."

Hulur nodded evenly. "She's been getting a steady stream for the last twenty minutes or so and politely asks you to stop pestering her."

"Yes well." Yamaguchi responded. "I like pestering people."
