Description[]
- As Captain Picard’s mighty armada prepares to strike a final blow on the unrelentingKlingon-Cardassian Alliance, unease grows among the crew of the USSEnterprise as the captain’s zeal approaches bloodthirst…
Summary[]
As the Terran fleet readies for its conquestGeordi La Forge,William T. Riker,Beverly Crusher andthe Inquisitor meet in theISSEnterprise-D's armory, discussingJean-Luc Picard's increasing zeal and megalomania. The Inquisitor considering that the meeting alone is treasonous enough, she tells everyone to wait for the moment.
When the time comes for theEnterprise to launch,Leah Brahms makes her long-awaited move. Using her surreptitiously uploaded command codes, she takes command of theGalaxy-class. Just as she makes herself comfortable in the chair however, an unamused Picard enters, overrides her override and disintegrates her cohorts while ordering Brahms escorted to the brig. When it was found that Okona had access to the command codes, Picard hadData scour the computer core, discovering Brahms' malware. As Brahms is delivered to Troi for interrogation,Guinan warns Picard that other traitors are still waiting to make their move.
At Data's order, the normal warp safety protocols aboard theISSCronus are disabled, allowing his force to drop into realspace just above the enemy fleet, taking them by surprise. BeforeWorf can organize a counter-attack, theISSDefiant, captained by a very much aliveMiles O'Brien, leads in a second fleet as backup.
With Worf's forces distracted, theEnterprise leads the main fleet to a wall ofGalor-class vessels defendingCardassia Prime. Over common sense, Picard orders the Terran fleet into battle, even ordering Troi and Riker to take the helm when an attack knocks outWesley Crusher. Taking the tactical console, Picard orders every ship to open fire.
With theDefiant and theCronus working in tandem, theIKSNegh'Var is pinned in place before Worf receives news about the attack on the Cardassian fleet, ordering his forces to assist. Recognizing that Worf is about to jump, Data and O'Brien brainstorm new ideas.
Despite the numerical advantage, the Cardassian fleet proves no match for superior Terran technology, a large hole quickly being blown through the blockade. At Picard's command, the fleet continues forward. Bolstered, Picard accelerates the stratagem. Tomorrow, Cardassia Primedies.
