{Bridge}

Commander O'Connell and Centurion Omar were at Command talking to pass the time until they caught up to the Akira ship. Comms interrupted their conversation "Commander the Amandora wanted you to know the damage they sustained was minimal and they've almost finished repairs Sir."

"Thank you, that's certainly good news" Jamie replied "Tactical, anything showing up on that Akira ship."

"Commander, with the Raptoress cloaked near the Amandora, she'll be safe from any further attacks," Omar stated with certainty.

"Yes I know; it was just good to hear it coming from the source....that's all" Jamie replied with a smile.

"Commander the Akira just showed up on long range scanners....we should be to her in thirty minutes" Tactical informed Command.

"Is she still moving away from us?" the Commander asked. "No Sir, it looks like she holding her position" came the reply.

Looking at Omar "Looks like he's either ready to surrender or wants a fight; probably the latter if I were a betting man" he commented.

Omar grinned "If it's a fight he wants then it'll be a fight he'll get....and he won't win" she stated matter of factly.

"Commander we're within hailing distance and fifteen more minutes until we're within weapons range," Tactical advised.

Jamie figured he'd give it a few more minutes before he made contact. Finally "Hail the Ship" came the order as Jamie stood and positioned himself behind Helm while straightening his uniform.

"They're not responding Sir" came the reply as Jamie knew just how to get Brisco's attention "Open a channel" came the order as Comms nodded for him to proceed.

"Akira Ship this is Commander Jamie O'Connell, Commanding Officer of the RRW Nanclus; we're here to accept your surrender" he stated knowing that would get his attention on a few different fronts.

Eddie gave the order and activated the main viewer and grinned when he saw O'Connell. "So you turned traitor and got a command of your own, even if it is a Romualan ship. But surrender, my dear man? Why would I want to do that? I'm having way too much fun," he said with a wide grin. At the same time, he nodded to someone off screen to activate weapons.

Trace shook his head in amazement. Was this Briscoe character serious? Here he was, outgunned, a criminal on the run and he was grinning and talking like a bad holo-novel villian.

"Commander, they're activating their weapons," Tactical informed Jamie. Turning to Tactical "Fire a volley across their bow" then turning back to the screen " For your information I haven't switched sides only merely acquired some new friends."

"Direct hit Commander, shields down to ninety percent."

"Enough of the games" the Commander thought to himself "May as well put this Romulan Tech to good use." "Helm heading 85 mark 7 then get us cloaked" came the order.

"Aye Commander" came the reply "We're at the new heading....cloaked Sir".

O'Connell looked over at Omar "Let see if he can hit what he can't see" as Omar grinned thinking "I like the way he thinks."

"Helm full impulse....Tactical when we're good and close target their weapon's array, let's see how he handles loosing weapons" as Jamie heard "Aye Commander" all around.

Eddie watched as the Romulan ship cloaked and moved off "Full phaser spread last known position of that ship, fire and keep firing"

Suddenly the ship rocked, "We're hit boss, we've lost weapons,"

"Do we still have torpedoes?" Eddie fumed

"We do boss,"

"Full spread, last known position, FIRE!" Eddie yelled "Full sweep, we'll hit something,"

"Commander incoming torpedoes" "Helm evasive maneuvers" O'Connell ordered and Omar called out "Omar Delta Spagora Seven." Immediately the Naclus took a rolling nosedive as a dozen decoys were fired from the Ship. "There that should give those torpedos something to blow up" Omar stated with a grin.

"Helm come about and hold.....Tactical take out their engines but easy since we'll have to repair what we break" the Commander ordered.

"Understood Commander" Tactical replied "Firing now.....direct hit and engines are off line."

"Excellent.....Comms open a channel " This is Commander O'Connell, Mr. Brisco had enough yet" Jamie queried knowing the Ship was now dead in the water.

"For now, but once I get my engines and my ship back on line I'll be back," Eddie said. He made a motion to cut the channel.

[[Brisco's Ship]]

"Think they're buying it?" He asked, chuckling. "The bad comic book villian routine?"

Celeste, his comrade in arms as of late, smiled. "Sounds like it." She said, pulling up the command codes from the Nanclus. Gaining them had cost them a great deal of latinum, but the payoff would be worth every bar. "Ready to play our hand?"

"Lets give them a few more minutes to become comfortable with the idea of an easy victory. Then we'll let them know they've been had."

{Nanclus}

Jamie didn't trust Brisco any further than he could throw him; this was way too easy. Turning to Trace "1st Lieutenant I want you and the Specialists to take control of that Ship" then looking at the Centurion "I'd like a few of your Crew to assist them" he ordered.

"I have a couple of guys that will fit the bill nicely" as Omar tapped her Comm "Zendon and Balon report to the Bridge at once" came the order. Soon two Romulan hulks walked onto the Bridge.

The Commander looked at those two enormous Romulans as he grinned "That'll work" then addressed the Away Team "1st Lieutenant West you're to lead this mission and keep me updated. If you're threatened you are authorized to use whatever force is necessary. Be careful and come back alive and in one piece; that's an order" as he looked at Heather and she gave him wink.

Moments later the Away Team were on their way to the Transporters as Heather whispered to Nix "You know this isn't going to be easy." Nix just grinned "No but it's going to be fun."
