Michael worked for the next hour or so, before he called time to turn in for the night. "I will return in the morning sir, permission to leave the bridge" he said.
He wasnt the type who would normaly 'suck up' to his superiors, but in this case he made an execption to do things by the book, as after his last assignment, he didnt want another black mark on his recored.

as itwas getting late he sympathised with the CTSO and said,
" Permission granted, and Michael your a good CTSO keep up the good work, Ill see you bright and early tomorrow"
Leutenant Commander Scofield left and Captain Fletcher turned to the viewing screen and with a press of a button, he shut the view screen down for the night. On his way down the corridors and he began to reminise about his old sovereign.
Remembering his old crew before the catastrophy that had happend. He got to his quarters door and took a deep breath and sighed. he then got changed and went to bed.
As soon as he hit the pillow, he was asleep and before he knew it was morning.

John left hid quaters, and the vessel had a new urgency about it, John didnt understand why, as there where no admirals coming to SB Sierra, and no new ships where being added to the fleet.
He grabed a near by ensign, "Whats happening?" he asked.
"Pirates!" he shouted, before breaking away.
"Pirates?" John said as he headed for the bridge.
He entered, and asked Cyklus, who was sat in the center of the bridge, what all this was about pirates.
"There is a pirate fleet heading our way, several ships, a few federation, an Akira class being one of them, a ISS Stronghold, the other, is a danube class, ISS Freebird." he paused before telling John that the rest where Kilingon in origin.
The ship wasnt any where near ready, the new tactical systems hadnt been installed, in fact, none of the updates had been. "Get the ship ready to leave dock, I think we need a little talk with our visitors, dont you" John left him with thoose words, and then took his seat.

Michael monitored the situation, and the position of the pirate fleet closely, it had changed course by now, and was on an intercept course with another vessel, it was federation in origin, and had just left SB Sierra.
"Sir, they are coming up on the Hood" Scofields said.
"Latham, take us out!" the Admiral barked, as the young helms officer did as she was told.
The USS Hood was a constitution class vessel, an old girl too, it wasnt long off until she would be decommisioned any way, but, at least her crew would be transferred to ships who needed them, and not dead.
"Set a course to intercept, warp 3" there was a short pause, "Engage!" he finished his sentence.
They where greeted by a more or less decimated USS Hood, the Pirates had savaged her, and taken more or less all her suplies, food stocks, deuterium, photon torpeados, not a thing had been left untouched. The crew was either confied to their quaters, or in the brig.

"Scofield, lock a tractor beam onto the ship, Beth, take us back to the starbase" John ordered each officer.
The attack had been quick, the Hood wasnt in any fit state, and the crews moral was almost as bad as the state the ship was in. The Pirates where ruthless. As the Serenity began its short journey back, Cyklus spoke, "We have another Pirate fleet heading our way!"
"Monitor there course, and get the hood back to the starbase" John said, not wanting to deviate.
The 2nd fleet, continued on the same course, almost following the serenity and the hood, possible hoping to pick the last remaining pieces like vultures in a savana. The Serenity docked, and the 2nd fleet, left the system.

Jenn stood at the docking bay window, and watched as the magnificent vessel glided through, and then kick back as it was caught by the docking clamps and pulled in towards the dockcng rig.
As it did so, the whole docking bay shook, all be it only slightly. It shook once more, as another ship docked, and she watched as several engineering personnel, and medical staff rushed towards the docking rig. Jenn followed, intrigued to what was happening, then stoping as they had passed the Serenity, realising it wasnt her call on wether she was to go aboard a ship, she her self had no links to.
She headed aboard the Serenity, the interior of the ship was just as well sculpted as the exterior, a mix of Oak and blue strobe lighting, she grabed a near by turbolift, and went up towards the bridge. The steped off on a bridge where emotions where high, and reported in to the CO, Vice Admiral John Roberts, she took a breath before saying something, and took stiffly to attention and saluted.
"Lt. Colonel Jennifer Solaris reporting" She said, waiting for a reply.

"Welcome aboard Colonel" John said.
"You missed all the fun" he added a seconed later with a smile, "The hood was badly damaged by some pirates, they had left before we arrived, so there wasnt much really we just tow her back here" He said, making it seem a little less dramatic then he had built it up to be.
Jenn just simled, and John dismissed her, allowing her freedom to sort her quaters out, or if she wanted, to do what ever else first.

Solaris came over towards the tactical console, and begn to look over the ships tactical systems, Michael could see she was going to be a handful, although, he hoped she would still be easy enough to get along with, and at the rank of Lt. Colonel, she must be good at her job.
He introduced him self, "Lt. Commander Micheal Scofield, CTSO" he said, she looked a little bewildered, but did the same back. The updates to the system where finaly ready, and they where forced to leave the bridge having nothing to do.
Micheal went of the the holodeck for a training exercise, "Programe Scofield alpha 5" he said, and the usual computer voice told him the programe was running, and he entered. Michael didnt have any weapons, just a small tactical team. He noticed a phase rifle leaning agaisnt the wall, he picked it up, he fired a burst in to the air, it was different to what he was used to, it fired smaller energy burts, but at quicker interview, almost like the bullets of a 21st century assualt rifle.

"Its an assualt rife, I helped design it while I was aboard the enterprise for a short time, it isnt widely used, thats most likely why you dont know about it" she said, walking up behind Scofield.
She was kitted out in her Marine assault gear, with the Haz armour, and phaser as a side arm, and her ouwn assualt rifle, which she had made numerous mods to.
"So, whats the story behid this then?" Jenn asked.
"An old friend, Captain Savot, is being held captive by an unknown number of people, its randm every time, thats why I danot know" he repllied with a bit of a smile.
Scofield and Solaris took up positions next to a door, with Scofield and 3 members of his team on one side, and Solaris and 3 marines on the other. "Stay here" she whispered, before heading round the back with her team.
She looked through a window, and could see only 2 people,both andorian, but no humans or a captive. A third man came in, this time human, and was in a starfleet uniform, a fellow marine.
"Colonel Westfield" Scofield said from behind, "How many so far?" he asked.
"only 3, but there will be more where this Savot is being held" she repllied.
"I recommed we withdraw over the hill, about 100 meteres that way, and set up camp until night fall, and come up with a plan" Scofield said, to with Jenn agreed.

They set up a small camp, and Scofield and Solaris began to draw up plans, and a basic layout of what they knew of the building, which wasnt much. The other holograhic assault team where constantly doing recon, and sending the info back to the two officers via comms.
As it progressed in real time, Micheal decied to get the game to skip several hours, and it was now night fall. They gathered there gear, and set off back down the hill, although this time, once entering the village, they noticed a shuttle go over head, they pulled back out of the village, but made sure they still had a good view of the cottage.
"There" Micheal whispered
"More gaurds?" Jenn asked
"I dont think so, could be changing of the guard" he repllied, a little anxious, "This isnt right, the shuttle has left without picking up any one" he added a few minutes later.
"Change of plans, pincer movement, my team round the back of the building, yours round the front?" she almost tried to make it sound more like a question then an order, but Michael agreed, as it was the best idea with an unknown ammount of guards.
They moved into positions, Michael tapped his comm badge, "GO!" he shouted, and then the door was blown open, and the building was stormed. All around there where sounds of the compresion rifles.
=^= Solaris, check upstairs=^=
Michael and his team covered Solaris' team as they made a break for it up the stairwell, they hadnt managed to find Savot downstairs, the only other place was either above them, or below them.

The sound of people shouting clear rung through the house, by now, besides thoose under the house, it was just the teams that had raided the house, and so far, Scofield had only lost one person, and Jenn hadnt lost any one, yet.
They met up downsatirs, and opened a door leading under the house, it was dark and cold, they entered, "Lights on" Scofield whispered, the lights where raised and they where caught in an instant fire fight, energy blasts raging all around, suddenly there was a lound shout from Scofield, Savot had been hit.
Jenn, threw down her assault rifle, and made a break for him, by now there where very little chance of the captors succeding in there objective, the others covered her, taking out the last 4 in the process any was, Scofield ran towards Savot, and began to un-tie him, she didnt hold out much hope for his survival.

The firefight began to draw to a close, there had been looses on both sides, and Savot was one of them. Solaris had attempted to get him out of the thick of it, but had faild. Micheal now sat on the floor with Savot in his arms, although he was just a holographic projection, he couldnt help feel he had faild his former CO.
"Computer, end programe" Micheal said, and then he exited without saying a word.

There where very few officers on the bridge now, it was mostly filled with engineering teams. The once immaculate bridge, had different tool left all over the place, almost like a teenagers bedroom. John decied to retreat to the comfort of his quaters, something he hadnt done for a long time, besides to sleep, eat or drink.
Entering the turbolift, he said "Officers quaters." The turbolift doors slid closed, and the turbolift began to move gracefully downwards. The grinding to a halt, the doors slid open once more and John steped off, and began his long walk to his quaters, which where a few junctions down.
He entered his quaters, and went over to the replicator and fixed him self something to eat. He sat down to eat it, but John never much cared for replicated food so left the majority of it. He then cleard his plate, and picked his old Fender Strat up, before sitting on the end of hsi bed, playing an old earth tune.

Jenn watched as Scofield left, she could tell the failure hit him hard, he was obviously not used to it, especialy from a programe he had complted successfully evrytime before hand. Jenn stood for a few minutes thinking what had gone wrong, tacticaly they had done evrything correct, besides allowing the captors to have a firefight in the same area as the hostage, "We should have draw fire away from him, drawn them away from that room" she said to her self, she then ran towards the holodeck doors, and left in search for Michael.
She didnt know him well, but knew the best place to start was always the bar, thats where she went the first time she thought she had messed up. Upon arrivng she saw him slumped over the bar with a small glass, "It wasnt your fault" she said, he looked up startled in response, "We did evrything right" she added, thinking saying that would make things better.
He then started to talk, ramble, it had hit him harder than he thought, and it was obvious he needed to talk about what really happened that night in the little village. She got the feeling that the programe was based on real life events, and not just some random storyline.
Scofield wasnt ready to talk about it, and she couldnt blame him, Jenn was more or less a compte stranger.
"I rember the first time I lost a member of my team, she was killed in a shuttle crahs, a shuttle I was pioleting, we crashed o a baron planet just inside federation space, our ship was days away, we hadnt any medical supplie on the shuttle, they had forgotten to re stock before we left, if there where some, she could have been saved, Gregg, my best friend also died, although he was killed instantly, he didnt sugffur like Beth" she told him.
"I did the exact same thing as you one I got back aboard the Liberty, I drowned by sorrows, my commanding officer, a James Walton, told me somthing that made me think, he said, You cant let it turn in, or theres no coming back" she ended, and was about to get up, then he began to say something, ans she took her seat once more and listened.

"Savot, was my CO way back when, another member of the crew, used to have connections within Black ops, so typicaly they would call on him, to do favours if you will." Michael began, pausing for a seconed, he had to wor this right.
"Basicly Savot screwed up, resulting in him being captured by a 'rouge' black ops operative, any way, a team of us beamed down to the surface, the FO, me and the Science officer, the officer who had the connections also joined us. We attacked, Savot was killed, I created that programe to figure out my mistakes, after that I changed the settings to random, random building layout, random number of guards, I never lost a single simulation until today, it threw me back to the way I felt when Savot was announced dead" Michael finished, he waited to see if Jenn would responed.
