A pair of Klingons came down the hall from the bridge to support their
leader. They made the odds more even, three on three. The test of combativ
skill lasted some 4 minutes, where all concerned were cut up pretty good, but
in the end the white hats came out on top. The one Kitanya was engaged with
was on the floor dead and bleeding. The others were suffering from serious
wounds, and would soon see the truth to the stories of an afterlife. One
Klingon was standing, but the other needed some medical attention.

Elsewhere, the fighting raged on. The rest of the fighting for the brig
was at a stale mate, but the raiders could not hold out for much longer. The
crew of the Hathor along with the SpecOps folk were just too much for them.
Too numerousas well.
Engineering was another matter. The raiders had a toe hold in
engineering, and was about to play a trump card. They threw in, as far as
they could, explosives. The packages that came flying in were the size of
nice sized pocket book, but far deadlier. Two came flying in. One landed
behind a console and blew the crap out of it, but did little other damage.
The second was far more deadly. It landed near the dilithium crystal assembly
of the warp reactor. When it blew it weakened the warp core enough to leake
coolant, and make a core breach a certanty.
In Auxillery Control, where the Captain had just arrived...
"Captain Lasiter, we have a warp core breach in progress. Estimated time
to breach, 3 minutes."
Lasiter looked around at his command crew stopping at the communications
officer. "Alex, call us a cab, and be quick about it."
Then hitting a button on the command station, "All hands this is the
Captain. Abandon Ship, this is no drill....." Then the alarm that no one
liked to hear went off.
