Assistant Security Officer’s Duty Log

Lieutenant Brian Graham Reporting

USS Excalibur

Stardate 200412.10

 

Brian Graham walked the corridor of the captured Jem’Hadar battlecruiser and stepped over another unconscious Jem’Hadar. He and Ensign Chen were currently searching for a transporter room which would prove exceedingly helpful in rounding up the Jem’Hadar littered throughout the ship.

“I think I’ve found it,” Chen said, studying a tricorder, “take a left up here.”

“Nice work, we’d probably be walking around for hours trying to find the thing,” Brian replied, taking the left. The two proceeded along the corridor for ten meters until Chen stopped.

“Here,” he said, pointing at the door.

“Alright, detect anything in there?”

Chen pointed the tricorder toward the door for a second, scanning beyond it, “One Jem’Hadar life sign, but unconscious.”

“Good,” Brian said, walking into the room, phaser still in his hand, even though it wasn’t needed. That fact was made more evident when they saw the soldier passed out on the floor near the console. Brian holstered the phaser and walked over toward the transporter control console and tried keying in a few commands, only to get buzzes of disapproval. “The Bridge must have locked out the transporters,” Brian said, even though Chen more than likely knew already. “See if the other group has the cargo bay ready while I try to get this working.”

Chen nodded and got in contact with the other teams while Brian tapped his communicator badge, “Graham to Commander Neo.”

“Neo here, go ahead, Lieutenant,” returned the Commander, several decks up but sounding as if he were in the room.

“Sir, we’re attempting to use the transporters to move the Jem’Hadar, could you restore access to Transporter Room 4?”

“Sure thing, stand by,” the Commander replied.

Brian waited a few seconds and tried again, bringing up a quick diagnostic program. The console responded accordingly so they were in business.

“Thank you sir,” Brian concluded, concentrating on the outcome of the diagnostic.

“No problem, Neo out,” he finished, closing the intra-ship communication, leaving Chen as the only other source of sound in the room.

“Sir, cargo bays 2 and 4 have reported they are ready to receive the Jem’Hadar. Adequate space has been cleared and forcefields are ready to engage. Cargo Bays 1 and 3 will be ready within the hour”

“Good deal, see if you can find me a cargo container to beam here, nothing volatile though.”

“Here, sir?”

“Yeah, I’m not too familiar with Dominion transporter systems so I’d rather try on a container instead of a Jem’Hadar. Won’t need much of an explanation with a broken container, but a puddle of Jem’Hadar wouldn’t go over very well with the Captain.”

“I see,” Chen replied, already at another console focusing the internal sensors on an object. “Got one, feeding you the coordinates.”

“I have them, beginning transport…,” Brian said as he engaged the dematerialization sequence and began the materialization subroutine. A portion of the transporter pad lit up and the container appeared, seemingly alright.

“Transport complete. The system says no anomalies occurred during transport, looks like we got it right.” Brian sent the container back to where it came from and got ready to try a life form. “Time to get some real work done. Have you located a group of Jem’Hadar?”

“Yes, transferring information.”

“Got it, Transporter Room 4 to Cargo Bay 2, stand by for incoming.”

 

The procedure went on for an hour. Chen would locate another group of Jem’Hadar while Brian transported the previous group. The captives would materialize in the Cargo Bay and officers there confiscated the weapons and took them to secure locations. The Jem’Hadar, on the other hand, slept through the whole thing. Forcefields were erected when a Cargo Bay filled up, and guards were stationed. The procedure went well, with the Jem’Hadar temporarily incarcerated, the invaders were free to move about the ship.
