Hold position, Ensign. Ready weapons...



Jem'Hadar warship is targeted. Weapons standing bye.

The warship is moving toward our position.

Commander, it is beginning to pick up considerable speed.

Course heading?

Directly at our location.

They're on another suicide run!

Of course. Protect the spy station at all costs.

Sometimes the Jem'Hadar are almost Cardassian in their tactics.

I'm not quite sure how to take that comment, Major.

Hennessey: Time to intercept?

45 seconds.

A tractor beam! We can try and deflect it.

Do it. Major, give it everything you're got as soon as it enters range.

Aye Commander.

Hennessey: On my mark......now!



The attack tears one of the nacelles off, which flies apart and explodes. The tractor beam manages to deflect the greatest force of the impact, but a large amount of debris smashes into the Defiant's shields. The ship rocks and shakes as the bridge begins to spark and smoke.

Jem'Hadar ship destroyed.

The port nacelle is off line. Shields are down to 50 percent, but stable.

Fusion generators are functioning at 75 percent normal.

Now we still have that station to deal with.

Hennessey:
Move us within weapons range and fire!
Hold Position and begin a sensor sweep of the area.
