Kharth had a head start onAirex, and a Romulan in plain clothes could move through the crowds ofSanctuary District Alpha with far more freedom than a pair of armed Starfleetofficers. So she got to the square first and spotted Drake, his red shoulder…

When Kharth clambered up theladder into the King Arthur’s briefing room the next morning, she found Airexand Beckett already in full swing. ‘This is an opportunity to change countless lives,’ the youngensign was insisting, hands on the display tabl…

After ten minutes in abathroom, five minutes with a medical kit, and two minutes sat in the King Arthur’s briefingroom with a steaming mug of tea, Doctor Karl T’Sann looked a little more half-human. He’d tied his hair back,cleaned up, and a vicious …

‘What are youdoing?’ Commander Airex haddemanded when he and a sullen Lieutenant Kharth had returned to the King Arthur tofind Beckett and Drake sat on the top of the runabout. Just to be judicious, Becketthad nudged their glass drink bottles out o…

She was a Starfleet officer, aveteran of campaigns against professional pirates and renegade Klingons, but towalk these streets was to be a scrawny fifteen year-old again. The scent scraped the yearsaway first. That tang of heat and sweat in the no…

Beckett hopped down the lastrung of the ladder out of the King Arthur’s hatch onto the dusty dirt of the surface of TerosIV and immediately slid on his sunglasses. ‘Damn, I hate uniforms.’ Airex was already out, tall andsevere and standing out like…

‘Turnabout is fair play,’ said Valance, stood in the door to Airex’squarters. ‘Do you know what you’re doing?’ He was in his bedroom,fastidious as he packed his carry-all, and didn’t look back at her. ‘Hullo to you, too.’ He zipped up his bag. ‘Ido…

For over twenty years, a wholegeneration of colonists had eked out a living on this rough world. Not becauseit was rich in resources or an agricultural breadbasket; not because it sentprecious minerals or abundant food back to the core worlds. Vega …

‘So, uh, guys, this is my roommate, Nate.’ Ensign Athaka gave anawkward gesture as he pulled up a chair at the low table in the lounge. ‘You don’t need to sound apologetic for bringing me along, pal,’ Beckett said with wry amusement, and refusedto …

‘Iassure you, Ardana Outpost, if there were any sign of the Phoenixleaving the asteroid belt, we would havedetected them.’ Takahashi felt his throat tryto close up as the low voice of Commander Sekarth filtered through hisearpiece. ‘If that’s so,Co…

The light was so bright andclear in the gardens it felt like the air itself hummed. Rosara Thawn had notvisited the seat of the Twelfth House of Betazed, of the head of her household,in many years. But to walk the long gravel path winding through th…

‘Don’t listen to that blowhard West,’ said Hawthorne, followingTakahashi down the shuttlebay stairs. ‘He has a thorough lack of imaginationand an incapability of extrapolating beyond what he can see.’ Antar leaned against theshuttlepod hatch, and l…

‘If we’re not out of here in two hours,’ Lopez told the staffgathered around the briefing table, ‘then Vega gets hit with nobody to protectthem. The Decius hasbetter sensors than us, and will spot us before we spot them if we leave thisdust cloud. W…

‘Steady as she goes, Antar.’ Lopez rested her elbow on the commandchair’s armrest, squinting at the viewscreen. ‘If we can slip through thissection, we should be in the clear.’ ‘Still no sign of the bird-of-prey,’ West reported at Science. ‘Which …

‘We’re at the periphery of the belt; reducing speed to one-quarterimpulse,’ said Antar, and Lopez felt the hum of the ship beneath her as thedecelerated. She had to remember that a shipthe size and power of the Phoenix wouldmove faster at one-quart…

‘This is unacceptable.’ Takahashi looked up from hisbridge post. ‘You’re going to have tonarrow that accusation down.’ Lieutenant Shepherd was West’s number two in the Science Department, whichhe only knew from a glance at a crew manifest and narr…

It took the better part of fourhours before Lopez could leave the bridge. Going to warp was all well and good,but the newly-settled staff of the Phoenixall needed to acclimatise themselves with elements of the ship’s systems. Normally they’d have a …

It was a sunny day in SanFrancisco when the Phoenix was due tolaunch, so Lopez slouched to the shuttlepad in large sunglasses to shieldagainst the bright light, horrifically hungover. Her pilot was smoking when shearrived, leaning against the hull, …

Rourke hadn’t liked Kehinde Hargreaves very much when they’dfirst met several months ago, and the prospect of him now commanding Beckett’sflagship was not reassuring. But the weathered officer extended a hand as heintercepted him outside the admiral…

‘We’re minutes out, sir,’ came Drake’s brisk report. ‘Boost power to the forward sensor array,’ said Rourke, glancingover his shoulder to Airex at Science. ‘Let’s make sure there’s nothing in ourpath.’ ‘Our route is clear, sir, up to sixty million…

‘Another casualty report, sir. Legera.’Commander Reyes’s expression was studied as he extended a PADD across the deskin Admiral Beckett’s Starbase 27 office. With a sigh, Beckett took it. Heclicked his tongue as he read. ‘Could be better. Could be …

Victory didn’t happen all at once. Itoften came slowly, part of an excruciating grind of overcoming one enemy,moving on to another, then realising the tide had turned minutes, hours ago,and here it was, the end. Beckett had known battles where indiv…

‘Legera II confirmed secure, Admiral,’came Commander Lockhart’s report from her station on the Caliburn’s flagbridge. ‘I see that.’ Beckett could actuallysee about six crises at once, flashpoints of red glinting at him from thestrategic holo-displa…
