As the intruder alert sounded, Zarg jumped to his feet.

Bridge to Carter, we have intruders on Deck 4, 5 and 16.

"Ok people Sam yelled to the security teams, Martinez deck 4, Brewster Deck 5 and watch the forcefields. Zarg, Benitez, Mueller you all and me to deck 16.

Zarg raced out behind Carter. They arrived at the scene, other security personnel were already engaging the enemy invaders.

Sam ducked behind a bulkhead as a phaser beam cut through the air. "How many enemies are there?"

A security officer named Anderson turned, "16 of them and they want in bad."

"Keep them out of engineering no matter what!!!"

"Yes Ma'am, but we need to get more men inside engineering."

Sam nodded."Zarg you and you team follow me. The rest of you stay here and try to pin them down.!"

Zarg and 4 other Klingons followed Carter as she raced back up the hallway. He followed her into a jefferies tube. They crawled along until they came which led into the upper engineering level on deck 15. As they got down to the main floor, there were only two security officers fending off the intruders.

"Now what?" asked Zarg.

"Now darling," Sam said with a grin. "Now is a good time to die!!!" Sam jumped to her feet and ran behind a console. One of the other security crew a young ensign, not so experienced, cried out as in a hand to hand combat a dagger was plunged into the juncture of his neck and shoulder; his attacker used the opportunity to take away his phaser rifle.

"Bowens, get out of there!!" Sam yelled as she tried to get a clear shot at the attacker. Then from the left Sam watched another attacker aim his phaser, ready to fire.

"No!!" Sam shouted and fired her own rifle in reply.

The blast from Sam's rifle stunned the attacker, enveloping the outline of his body for a dazling millisecond before he fell, but not before the blast from his phaser found it mark. Ensign Bowens. In the second before his death, the young human wrthed, caught in the bright, fatal energy surge cried out in pain.

And then his body vaporized - incinerated so competely, not even ash remained

The klingons rushed into the mix and quickly quelled the hand-to-hand fighting.

Zarg spotted a suspicous bulge on the utility belt of one of the downed federation fighters.

He opened the pocket exposing its contents, "Sam, its a thiridium explosive device with an isotopic decay fuse. He stood up, intended for the warp engines no doubt."

"Take it with you, perhaps we will find out where it comes from. Lets get these guys beam to the brig."

The body of the federation dematerialized in the shimmer of the transporter effect.

Sam tapped her combadge. "Carter to sickbay, we need a medic team here."

"They are on their way, Lieutenant." the reply came.

Zarg's nostrils flaired, "Such a short engagement. Perhaps we should join the bording party."

"It aint over yet, Zarg." Sam replied. "There are more enemies on Deck 4 and 5. Let's see if we can give them a hand."

Zarg handed one of the engineers the explosive device, "The isotopic fuse as been activated, I'd get rid of it," he said turning and racing off behind Carter, "fast!"
