Thread: Dark Trek (loneiysong & CrimsonMaster)

Being the Captain of a Terran Starship meant you had the pick of any woman, or man on the ship. The Captain seat was a prized position. Those lucky enough to hold the rank of Captain enjoyed all the treasure which came with the title. When Mason Kane became captain, he cast aside his former lover. She was transferred from the ship. Kane wanted to taste the fruits of his new title. The women on board the Raptor were among the hottest looking women in Starfleet. Maddox may have been a drunken fool, but he knew a good looking women when he saw one. It was Maddox who brought many of the current female members on board. They may not have all liked the former captain. But these ladies did owe him for bring them onto the flagship of the 4th fleet. Kane enjoyed how Zerin flirted with him. He knew she wanted be the last to show affections towards the new captain. Kane was expecting many of the females to line up at the door of his quarters. Along with all the benefits, there were dangers involved with being the captain. Any sign of weakness could bring on those looking for their own taste of power. Many often moved up in the ranks by assassination. The higher ranking officers hired henchmen among the crew members. These people were loyal as long they were paid well. After become captain, Kane's bodyguards grew in numbers. He now had a force of 15 to watch his back. Kane was always flanked by at least two bodyguards. Captain Kane walked on to the bridge. He was greeted by salutes. The same salutes given on the shuttle bay. The fist held acrossed the chest before extended outwards. The salute was very much like the one used by the Nazis. Kane returned the salute before moving to the center seat. He sat down while the ship came to a stop in space. Kane pressed a button on the control panel which sat on the right side of his chair. This opened a direct channel to engineering. Commander Webb......Transfer all power to the Gateway device.......Glory awaits us in the other universe. Kane said before closing the channel. Webb worked the controls down in engineering shifted the ship's main power. The lights dimmed down, almost going out. A whirring noise could be heard. It started out as a low hum before growing louder. Soon a beam of energy came from the ship's deflector dish. It reached out into the blackness of space. A portal began to slowly appear. Once the power levels reached maximum. Webb shifted power back to the ship. The lights came back on at full power. Lieutenant Simms.......Take us into the portal. Kane ordered as the young Lieutenant punched in a course ahead. He shifted the ship into 23 impulse power. The Raptor moved ahead. It entered the portal and disappeared. The bridge was filled with an almost blinding white light. Those on the bridge shielded their eyes for a moment. The blinding white light was soon gone. The sight that greeted the eyes of those looking at the viewing screen on the bridge was a field of stars. These weren't the stars of home. They were the stars of a parallel universe. A universe where the Terran Empire was known as The United Federation of Planets. After a quick check by the science officer. It was confirmed. They had passed into the mirror universe. Kane announced this to the crew. So far, everything was going as planned. Now all they need was to find an outpost, a space station, or a starship to attack. Kane ordered a sensor sweep of the area. Soon the sensors found the prey. A Federation Miranda class starship was in the next star system. It was on a mapping mission exploring a nebula. The Miranda class was a light cruiser and certainly no match for a Terran Attack Cruiser. Kane came up with a plan on how best to assault the enemy ship. His science officer would make the ship appear as if it were in trouble. This would be done by creating false radiation leaks and making it seem as if the ship's wrap core and communications were damaged. A false distress signal was sent out and as Kane guessed. The federation fools came running to help. The Raptor, although of a different class name, looked just like a federation Ambassador Class Starship. The Enterprise C in the Federation universe was this type of ship. It was however, more heavily armed. Instead of having two forward firing photon torpedo tubes and none aft. The Raptor had four forward and two aft. The Phasers on both ships were pretty much equal. As the Miranda class approached, they called out. The ship on the main viewer was a federation starship as far as they could tell. The Terran Empire symbol and paint job couldn't been seen yet. Captain Kane wasn't going to let them get that close. Simms called out the distance between the two ships. Once the Miranda class reached 100,000 kilometers. Kane reminded his tactical officer, Commander Tala, that he wanted prisoners. She smirked and said he would have them. She brought the weapons on line once the ship reached 75,000 kilometers. Kane held his right hand up in the air before saying fire. Tala fired four bursts from the phasers. One hit the port nacelle while the rest damaged the ships weapons and ability to raise shields. The next two bursts put the ship on emergency power. The Miranda class ship tried to move away on impulse power. But those engines were taken out with the next two shots. Soon the Federation ship was dead in space. A distress signal was sent out, Kane had a jamming field set up. No call for help would going out anytime soon. Just like taking candy from a baby! Kane laughed out as he spun around in his chair. He smiled at Tala, who returned the smile. Tala.......Get a team together.......We are boarding that ship. Tala nodded while Kane left his chair and headed for the turbo lift. She requested three groups of four MACOS each along with Lieutenants Goldman Zerin meet in transporter room one. An engineer would be needed to help get into the federation ship's computer. Zerin's medical skills maybe in need, but being half Vulcan. She could use her mind skills to gain information in case certain files were blocked with a code. Plus, being a med tech gave Zerin a leg up when it came to torture. Kane wouldn't let anything stand in his way of completing this glorious mission. Everyone met in transporter room one before the first two groups of MACOS were beamed over. Their job was to secure the bridge of the federation ship. Once that was done and prisoners were taken. The others beamed over. Four federation officers were dead on the bridge. The captain, the first officer and the ships science officer were unharmed and on their knees. Kane told Goldman Zerin to start working on getting the files and information needed.
