Jamison felt his blood pumping. He was ready for some type of action. As he and Tiberan prepared for their transport he checked his phaser setting again.
He saw the transporter chief nod and he knew it was time to go. He got himself and his weapon In position and almost immediately found himself being fired at on the bridge of the Artful Dodger. Before he knew it, all the firing ceased and he had his phaser leveled at what appeared to be the OIC of the bridge. He was just getting to reach down and take her into custody when all of a sudden she was transported away.
"Security! You heard the man. Move your asses.", Jamison yelled, "We still have to retrieve the captain before they reach him. Computer! Locate the Starfleet prisoner. COMPUTER! ACKNOWLEDGE!" When there was no response, Will turned to Tiberan, "I guess we have to do this the hard way. After you my friend."
As they were preparing to move out Jamison contacted the other teams. "All teams be on alert and move as planned. Some of the pirates are still on the loose and may be headed for the captain. Keep your eyes and ears open people."

"Security! You heard the man. Move your asses.", Jamison yelled, "We still have to retrieve the captain before they reach him. Computer! Locate the Starfleet prisoner. COMPUTER! ACKNOWLEDGE!" When there was no response, Will turned to Tiberan, "I guess we have to do this the hard way. After you my friend." Smiling, Tiberian replied "This had better not be a ladies first thing, or you're dead"As they were preparing to move out Jamison contacted the other teams. "All teams be on alert and move as planned. Some of the pirates are still on the loose and may be headed for the captain. Keep your eyes and ears open people." Whilst Will was doing this, Tiberian placed locator beacons on all the felled enemy crew, in order to transport them aboard the Hepta. He then moved to the computer console nearest to him, bringing up a cross sectional map of the ship. "Internal sensors are encrypted" Tiberian called out "But all designated areas have been taken" He turned to a security officer next to him "You remain here and monitor the science station scanners. Reconfigure them to pick up ionised particle trails within the ship" Drawing his tricorder, Tiberian shouted: "Listen Up. Set your tricorder to emit an ionised photon trail. We can use this to track each others movements" As people reset their tricorders, Tiberian turned to the security officer who he had told to remain on the bridge: "If I contact you and tell you that exfiltration is not possible, seal all secured areas of the ship, contact Acting Captain Bern, and have him use his command codes to blow all the air seals on the uncontrolled areas of the ship, got it?" "Got it Sir" Came the reply. Tiberian then once again tapped his comm badge: "Attention all teams. This order is to supersede any previously given commands, and is not to be overriden without the direct verbal authority of myself, Cadet Jamison, or the command staff. All units are to secure their given area, dig in, mount defensive positions, and blockade any and all entry points.You are also to make emergency beam out viable in your area. In order to make this assualt as efficient, and minimally dangerous as possible, only Alpha Team is going to go after the Captain. In addition to this would the team holding Engineering please initiate manual ejection of the warp core, and manual disconnection of the impulse engines, weapons array, and main computer control from the central power grid" Now with the team ready, and Will at his side, Tiberian swept forward out of the bridge, his phaser rifle levelled. "Move and clear people. Scan for lifeforms, then shoot at them. Hoo-ah"

Josh heard the reports, and realized that things were over. "Alright. Well since you are there. Jamison and Wong, take command of that ship, and lets take them both back home. Just get her back working, and then report when you are ready to jump to warp."
A couple of hours later Josh heard from them. "Alright, I'm sending over an instructor for support if nothing else. So as soon as the instructor is aboard, take that ship back to Conqueror, and don't stray from that course. Good work you two," he said, and turned back to Hepta's navigation ending the conversation.
"Helm, take us to Conqueror, warp six as soon as we beam that instructor to the other ship . Since there are two of you, Firestorm, I need you to go over there and supervise those cadets. See you back on Conqueror," Josh said, and turned back to reading something on a padd.
A little later both ships were on their way. Alex was watching for power spikes and making sure things ran as smooth as possible, while making sure that sickbay knew to contact her as soon as she was needed. ~Not easy covering two at once, but I can do it.~
Williams found herself escorted to sickbay, and she sighed ready for this to be over. "Look, I don't know why you need to see me. I am not sick in any way, shape, or form. I need to get back to engineering, so get this over with." The nurse gave her a glare, and started to scan her. A few minutes later Williams found herself walking to the nearest turbolift.
Sheeta took the security station hoping the cadets were okay. She scaned the area to make sure nothing was threatening them. She thought about getting the reports ready, but decided to hold off.

Serena found it was difficult to manuever around the decks without the ship's help but she managed. Eventually she got to the area they were holding the Starfleet captain.
"Well, captain, it seems your officers would prefer you dead," Serena said and grabbed her phaser ready to shoot him. She was ordered the force field dropped, and took aim when suddenly a group came in.
"I see I'm out numbered, well I don't mind. I am always up for a good challenge, although I don't think you are much of one," Serena said. She heard one of them tell her to give up, that it was all over. She didn't want to believe that.
"I don't hear the fat woman just yet. You may shoot me, but what is going to prevent me from killing your captain? I just have to press one button, and goodbye cappy. Do you really want that? Let me transport away safely, and you will have your captain," Serena said, ready to get out of a sticky situation.
Serena found she was being beamed away, and suddenly she found herself beaming into a tight spot with several phasers covering her. She sighed, and dropped her phaser knowing there was no way she could get out of this one.
"He tricked me!" Serena said before she was put in the brig. She sat down on the bed knowing she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Jamison chuckled and assured his comrade that it was nothing like that. "Let's just hold fast on ejecting the warp core at this moment though. We seem to be getting everything in hand here and we can take this vessel back home as well."
With that out of the way, they headed for the brig area. The came through the doors just in time to see the lady that escaped from the bridge leveling a phaser at their captain.
With the captain rescued and safely returned to the Hepta, albeit, he was in sickbay getting checked over, Jamison and Wong found themselves, once again, on the bridge of the Artful Dodger.
"Thank you, sir.",they both said in unison.
"So who gets the center seat?" Tiberan asked his friend jokingly
"Ever play a game called Rock, Paper, Scissors?" teased Will
With that, they had the ship on course and headed for Starbase Conqueror.

Firestorm, I need you to go over there and supervise those cadets.
"Wha-what?" Firestorm gawked, his fur standing out, making him look like a giant furball. "Do you know what happened the last time I was put into command of a bridge?" He stared at Jenkins, looking miserable. "The ship I 'commanded' due to the commanding officer's absence, was rammed first into some strange space object...and then into another ship. You really don't want me anywhere else but in a sickbay or a sciencelab."
"I don't care," Jenkins snapped, "it was an order. Beam over to that ship and supervise those cadets!"
Firestorm hiccuped as the aCO's tone of voice startled him, then he fled into the turbolift and a minute later arrived on the other ship. "Well then cadets, seems I'm here to supervise you. One of you set course back to Conqueror, the other...well monitor the systems as well as the prisoners. Anything else I need to know?"

"Ever play a game called Rock, Paper, Scissors?" teased Will "I actually have done" replied Tiberian with a wry smile "Its an old Earth game used to settle disputes. Mind you, I did a lot of my growing up on Qo'nos, so I know the Klingon version better" "Whats that?" Will enquired "Well the Klingons call the game Rock, Bat'leth, Scissors, and the rule is that whoever gets their weapon and beats down their opponent first, wins" Seeing the semi distressed look on Will's face, Tiberian continued "You take the seat. You're Starfleet so you've probably got the chance of getting in one for real someday. I'm training to be an SMO, I'd better get used to standing" And with that Tiberian went over to the tactical station to view the record logs since the ships theft. Moments later Dr Firestorm appeared on the bridge, looking somewhat flustered. "Well then cadets, seems I'm here to supervise you. One of you set course back to Conqueror, the other...well monitor the systems as well as the prisoners. Anything else I need to know?" "No Sir" replied Tiberian, whilst Will ordered a course to be set back to Conqueror. Then something suddenly came to him, something he had heard whilst drinking in the Academy bar. "Sir" He said, venturing slightly towards the Sivoan doctor "Just out of curiosity. Is there any truth in the scuttlebutt that you once managed to crash a Starship"
<TAG Firestorm>
Remembering how the last time he had angered the doctor, he only just escaped with his unspeakables intact, Tiberian hurriedly returned to the console and began using the spare time to work on his graduation thesis. He pondered whether or not "Tactical methods for hostage and starship rescue" was a good enough title.

Jamison smiled as he took the center seat and watched is friend go to the tactical station. Dr Firestorm beamed aboard and took a seat as well with everything under control. Jamison ordered course for home and was just about to relax when he heard Cadet Wong ask the doctor:
Jamison tried to hide his smile while also poised to intercept should the doctor not find the statement funny as well.
When nothing happened, he finally allowed himself the time to sit down and he thought about how close graduation was and what other adventures his starfleet career would have in store for him.

"Just out of curiosity. Is there any truth in the scuttlebutt that you once managed to crash a Starship"
Firestorm turned to the marine cadet, his ears lying flat on his head as he hissed softly. "Yes there is," he answered as he flicked his tail, "I was left in command of the USS Victory whilst most of the senior staff was elsewhere. A navigational malfunction caused us to bump into the USS Jefferson. Fortunately, nobody got hurt, the Victory just got a bit dented and the Jefferson needed to get her paintwork redone. Unfortunately, I was in command so it was my fault as the order given was mine."
The Sivaoan wasn't happy with the fact that a mere cadet asked him such a sensitive question, but he could understand a starfleet cadet questioning the fact whether a civillian should be left in charge. "Take us back to Conqueror Mister Jamison," Firestorm continued, as he took the first officer's seat, "but stay in contact with the Hepta. Where they go, we go."

The trip home was pretty uneventful. The Artful Dodger followed the Hepta back to Starbase Conqueror. They had no problems with the vessel. The pirates had obviously kept it in top working condition. Siting in the captains seat, Will found himself wondering if he maybe should have gone for command instead of security. He kind of liked having this feeling of being in charge of a whole ship. He decided that upon his return to the starbase, he would at least gather some information on the move. He was sure that there were folks he could discuss it with. With that thought now behind him, he turned to his friend and asked,"So what's the first thing you wanna do when we get back, Tiberan?"
<Tag Wong>
"Personally. I'm headed for the bar. I could use a good drink after this mission. I was beginning to wonder if we were ever gonna get the captain back."
They had left Vulcan 12 days ago and were just a couple of days away from home.
"Artful Dodger to Hepta. This is Acting Captain Will Jamison. (Damn that sounded good Will thought) Are there any special instructions we need before docking at Conquerer?"
<Tag Hepta>

Josh was reading up on something when the message came through. He looked up, and saw a familar face.
"Congrats, you have returned the vessel, and with no mishaps. Dock before we do, and then report to our ship to see if there is anything else you need to do. See you soon," Josh said and had the link closed.
"Prepare to dock," Josh said after they watched the Dodger dock.
A little later Josh noticed both security and marine cadet come onto the bridge.
Sheeta had been manning the station, and almost missed when the cadets returned.
"Welcome back, but your shift just ended. Go have fun on the base, but not too much fun," Sheeta said dismissing them.

,"So what's the first thing you wanna do when we get back, Tiberan?" Will asked him. Tiberian paused for a moment before answering: "Personally, I think I'm going to practice my Aikido and Mok'Bara for a bit, with all that's been going on, I've fallen behind. Then I need to spend some time brushing up on my tactical sims on the holodeck. Oh, and I need to contact my parents about graduation" Seeing the nearly disgusted look on his friends face, Tiberian allowed himself a smile, continuing. "That is of course once I've gone to the Starburst, drunk enough Romulan Ale to fell a Klingon, and hit on every freshman cadet in the place" He laughed to himself, as Will hailed the Hepta. "Artful Dodger to Hepta. This is Acting Captain Will Jamison. Are there any special instructions we need before docking at Conquerer?" "Congrats, you have returned the vessel, and with no mishaps. Dock before we do, and then report to our ship to see if there is anything else you need to do. See you soon," Came the reply. Turning to look at Will, Tiberian said in mock shock: "Acting Captain Jamison?" Will shrugged in response. "So, Acting Captain, know of any open CTSO spots you're thinking of going for? Come to that, do you know of any SMO spots either?"
<TAG Jamison>
"Fair enough. We're coming up on the Starbase now, try not to bump into anything, ey" Tiberian could have sworn he saw Firestorms ears prick up, but dismissed it. Will guided the ship in expertly, and the the makeshift crew disembarked, whilst Tiberian personally dealt with the dockmaster and powering down formalities. Moments later, both were aboard the Hepta again, and headed back to the bridge.

Jamison and Wong had barely stepped foot onto the bridge when they were dismissed again.
Will and Tiberan left the Hepta and headed to The Starburst. They figured they deserved a few drinks after the mission they just went through. They reached the bar, found a seat and ordered their drinks. While they were waiting, Will found himself thinking about Tiberans question. He was about to become a CTSO and had no idea where he would be assigned next or if he would even have any say in that matter. He really wasn't to worried about it. He thought he was getting the hang of this Starfleet stuff and was pretty sure he could handle it anywhere.
As their drinks arrived Jamison turned to Wong and spoke. "Any ideas where you're wanting to be assigned, yet?"
<Tag Wong>
"Part of me liked being out on the ship and traveling but there's also a part of me that wouldn't mind giving station life a try." Jamison said. "Where ever we end up, I hope we get to work together again. I think we did a hell of a job."
Lifting his glass, Jamison offered a toast to his new found friend and himself."Here's to us. The two best (and what seemed like only) cadets on the Heptas last mission."

"Any ideas where you're wanting to be assigned, yet?" Wil asked. Tiberian thought for a moment before replying: "I know that the Tiger Shark, Victory, Nevada, and Raven all need SMO's. Seeing as the Tiger Shark and Raven are Defiant and Intrepid class ships, I think they're a bit small for me. But the Victory and Nevada are Nebula and Sovereign class respectively, so there's potential for a whole lot more to happen. While we're on the subject, I think you should check out the Raven, they're one of the only ships in need of a CTSO" "Part of me liked being out on the ship and traveling but there's also a part of me that wouldn't mind giving station life a try." Jamison said. "Where ever we end up, I hope we get to work together again. I think we did a hell of a job." "Here's to that" Tiberian replied, drinking deep from his Saurian Brandy "You never know, we might end up on the Raven together" "Here's to us. The two best cadets on the Heptas last mission." Will added. And with that, they drank from their glasses.
