< Calypso >

With Engineering working on the Ship's plasma conduits, that left Angel and Erica with time on their hands "It's so nice to see you again Angel" Erica stated in a low voice.

"It's nice to see you too Erica I just wish it was under different circumstances; I'm not too fond of keeping things professional between us" she replied with a grin while making sure there was a respectable distance between them.

"I know the feeling" then she paused "There's nothing I'd like better right now than throw my arms around your neck and kiss you passionately then see where things went" Erica answered with a big grin.

"Maybe when things get settled down then maybe a rain check" as Angel chuckled liking the thought of being alone with her.

In a sultry voice "You can count on it gorgeous" she commented with a wink.

But before Angel could reply her comm badge went off "Excuse me" as she stood and walked a few feet away "Devroe, go ahead."

"Commander, I'm picking up a Ship on long range sensors.....it looks like possibly a pirate ship heading right for us" Lieutenant McNeil informed Devroe.

"Crap! That's not good. Give me a minute I'll beam back" then Angel tapped her comm "Lieutenant how's the repairs progressing, we may have company shortly" came the inquiry.

"Good we just finished and I'm going to restart the warp core. Give me about fifteen minutes and the Calypso should be up and running" he replied.

"Ok. Hopefully we have fifteen minutes" then she paused "Lieutenant I'm going to beam back aboard the Genesis but I would like you to remain and keep a close eye on Engineering in case you need to make any further adjustments to the plasma conduit. Meanwhile I'll run interference and hopefully the Peel will be back soon" she ordered.

"Understood Commander; no pressure here" he replied with a slight chuckle.

Turning to Erica "We seem to have a Pirate Ship heading our way so I'm going back to the Genesis and run interference until you can get moving again" Devroe stated concerned for both Ships.

"Sounds like a plan Commander and as soon as I'm able we'll head off in the opposite direction then head back to the Nebula; that ought to confuse them for awhile" Montgomery stated then walked up and grabbed Angel's hand "You be careful you hear me; don't try and be a hero."

Angel grinned "Who me? never" as she tapped her comm "Genesis bring me home" then she vanished in a beam of light.

< Genesis >

As soon as Devroe was back aboard "Report" as she made her way to command.

"Commander they're almost to us" McNeil stated keeping his gaze locked on his screen.

"Lieutenant Albo hail that vessel" Devroe ordered feeling her heart rate quicken. Turning to Barot "Ensign I hope you have a few tricks up your sleeve in case you have to get creative flying this thing."

"You know it Commander" Sam replied with a grin "I can out maneuver the best of them."

Once Johan completed the hail a rather unkept, dirty, gruff looking guy appeared on her screen "This is Commander Devroe, commanding officer of the Federation Shuttle Genesis. What are your intentions" she inquired matter of factly.

In a hoarse voice "I have no beef with you Commander, it's that Freighter I'm after. It's time to acquire some plunder and finally make some credits" he replied rather enjoying looking at Angel.

"Sorry to disappoint you Sir but that just happens to be a Federation Freighter and is under my protection so cease and desist" Devroe replied not about to back down from this situation.

"Have it your way Commander, but don't say I didn't warn you" as the transmission terminated.

"Red alert, Shields up" Devroe ordered "Ok people let's do this" then tapping her comm "Captain Montgomery what's your status."

"The warp core is up and running beautifully....just give me five more minutes then we'll get the hell out of here" came the reply.

"Commander they're firing up their tractor beam.....it's aimed at the Calypso" McNeil informed command.

Looking to Sam "Get us between the Pirate ship and the Calypso....I'll divert more power to the forward shields and hopefully that'll give the Calypso enough time to get out of here" Devroe ordered.

"You got it Commander.....hold on to your panties people" Sam replied as she rolled the Ship hard to starboard placing the Genesis as ordered.

"Tactical lock on to that Ship....phasers full spread across their bow....maybe that'll make them rethink their course of action" came the order.

"Locked on Commander, firing phasers now, full spread" McNeil replied as he engaged phasers.

A few minutes later Lieutenant Albo informed the Commander "Ma'am the Pirate Ship is hailing us."

"That didn't take long.....on screen" Devroe ordered getting her strength face on.

"What the hell woman!! Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning firing on us like that" the Pirate stated being quite surprised at the actions taken bt the Shuttle.

Not knowing what he was referring to with his comment "I told you they were under our protection so maybe next time you'll listen. If you leave now we'll cease firing on your vessel....if not you'll get even worse" Devroe stated matter of factly. Meanwhile Johan stood snickering at the comments the Pirate made.

"All right you win Commander, we're leaving now" he replied as the Pirate Ship peeled off in the opposite direction of both Ships.

Sam glanced over in Angel's direction "Well played Commander. I'll serve under your command any time" she commented with a smirk.

"Stand down Red Alert" then Angel addressed her Crew "Well done everyone; chalk one up for the good guys" she commented with sincerity thinking this would probably be the last time she'd be doing this if things went as planned then she continued "So now we wait for the Peel to return."

"Commander if I may ask, how long do you think it'll be before the Peel returns for us" McNeil inquired.

"Soon I hope Lieutenant so in the meantime just keep checking your screens so we don't get any more surprises coming our way" Devroe answered hoping sooner than later Jamie would return.
