catcat's Trek Episode 13 (The Conflicts [Series Finale] ---- Part 3/3)


It is very strange that the galaxy class flag ship Enterprise wasn't there when the Federation trying to take back DS9 from the Cardassian. This time, the history will be rewritten. Now continue ...

< Scene >: Outer space, the Enterprise 1701-D and the Enterprise 1701 showing
Picard: (voice) Captain's log, stardate 10011.02. The Defiant has leaded the whole Jem'Hadar fleet away. But the Voyager failed to punch through the rest Cardassian fleet. Now only leaving Captain Kirk's and my Enterprise to against the Cardassians.

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Data:   Captain, the Voyager is gone.
Picard:   That witch!
Riker:   (look at Picard) Only 2 ships left.
Picard:   Well, then leaves us no choice. Mr. Worf, open the channel to Captain Kirk!
Worf:   You mean, Admiral Kirk?
Picard:   It's obvious that there's a space-time distortion here. As long as he's commanding the Enterprise 1701, he is Captain Kirk.
Worf:   Channel's opened Sir.
Kirk:   Captain Picard, Kirk here.
Picard:   Captain, we've only got 2 ships left, as the Enterprise D is the flagship, it's stupid to risk it. Therefore ...
Kirk:   I understand the situation Captain Picard. I'm on it!
Picard:   Good luck Captain.
Kirk:   Kirk out.

< Scene >: Outer space, the Enterprise 1701 fly towards the Cardassian fleet and engages a big battle

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Picard:   How's Kirk doing?
Data:   Not bad Sir. The Enterprise has the battle under control.
Riker:   How can he do that?
Picard:   Mr. Worf, where's the Klingon fleet?
Worf:   They're coming as quick as possible.
Troi:   Captain, aren't you going to help Captain Kirk?
Picard:   Are you crazy!? There's an entire Cardassian fleet there!
Data:   Sir, the entire Cardassian fleet is eliminated!
Picard:   (both Picard and Riker stands up) What!?
Riker:   Incredible!
Picard:   Number One, everyone knows he is the incredible Kirk!
Worf:   Sir, the Klingon fleet has arrived.
Picard:   Isn't it a little late?
Riker:   2 Enterprises and the entire Klingon fleet, we're sure win!
Data:   It is incorrect Sir.
Picard:   Data?
Data:   Captain Kirk has engaged a battle with the entire Klingon fleet.
Riker:   Damn! Kirk and Klingons!
Troi:   We can simply hail them and explain.
Picard:   Oh no Counsellor, the Prime Directive clearly stayed that we can't interrupt war affairs.
Troi:   Damn that Prime Directive!
Riker:   What shall we do now?
Picard:   As long as there's nothing blocking us, I think it's time to go to Deep Space Nine.
Riker:   Conn, set course to Deep Space Nine, warp 9 engage when ready.
Wesley:   Course set, warp 9, engage.

< Scene >: Outer space, the Enterprise D go into warp, leaving the Enterprise 1701 and the Klingon fleet fighting each others

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Worf:   We're approaching Deep Space Nine Sir.
Picard:   On screen.
Riker:   What the hell you put it on screen for? We all have seen DS9 before.
Picard:   This is my big screen TV, I want it on screen!
(DS9 displays on main viewer)
Picard:   Conference in 30 minutes.

< Scene >: Observation Lounge
Picard:   Anything unsual?
Riker:   There's no Jem'Hadar or Cardassian vessel arounds.
Worf:   DS9 can sustains an entire Klingon fleet. They don't need any ships around.
Picard:   We've only got 1 vessel ... Options?
Data:   Captain, during the last 27 minutes and 0.9133 seconds, I have studied DS9's designs and Cardassian technologies. I believe there is a possibility that we can disable DS9 without engaging a serious fight.
Picard:   Excellent! How do we do that Mr. Data?
Data:   DS9 is basically a Cardissian design mixed with Federation's modifications. Cardassian technologies are old and "open".
Beverly:   In English Data.
Data:   Cardassian are using an open system; which means its source codes are free to grab.
Geordi:   Hold on Data. Doesn't it means the system can improve easier 'cuz more people can learn it?
Data:   Yes; but unfortunately, being open will also give people more chances to crack it.
Geordi:   So you're intended to crack their system!
Riker:   It might not work. I believe they'll setup a secured system.
Data:   From Starfleet's record, Gul Dukat is a careless person. He even lock himself with the DS9 crews during an activated auto-destruct sequence. Besides, Cardassian technologies are all tend to obsolete, I believe we have a good chance to crack their system successfully.
Picard:   How much time do we have before they can deactivate the mine field in front of the wormhole?
Data:   Approximately, 22 minutes and 58.3881 seconds.
Picard:   Any more suggestions?
(silent)
Picard:   Make it so, Mr. Data.

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Worf:   We're close to weapons range.
Picard:   All stop.
Wesley:   All stop Sir.
Picard:   Data?
(Picard and Riker approaches Data's Ops)
Data:   I am trying to scan their system but they have put their shields up.
Riker:   Damn! I told you!
Geordi:   (working on a science station) Let me help you here Data. (working for a while) What about their communication systems? ... I'm intercepting their sub-space e-mails ... I got the system type ... s ... e ... n ... d ... m ... a ... i ... l.
Data:   Did you say sendmail, Geordi?
Geordi:   Yes! sendmail!
Data:   I am sending a message addressing to ... "/bin/mail [email protected] < /etc/passwd".
Picard:   What does it do?
Data:   If their sendmail system is old enough, it will send me back their password file ... There it is. I am decrypting it.
Riker:   How long will it take?
Data:   Using my positronic brain ... now. I have decrypted the root password, it is "eatmysocks".
Picard:   How do we use it?
Geordi:   Data, try their remote host systems.
Data:   I am sending another e-mail ... Hmmm, they discovered the security breach. I have to switch ... I am sending a single line information of over 512 bytes to their fingerd daemon.
Riker:   And? ...
Data:   It'll trigger their system to run a new shell and executes my script to modify Gul Dukat's .rhosts file ... there!
Picard:   Now what?
Geordi:   Hmmm ... Now he can login from here as a host in DS9.
Data:   I have logged in as the super user successfully, I am running a "kill -9 shields" command to shut down their shields.
Worf:   Captain, Deep Space Nine's shields are down!
Riker:   Now we can fight!
Data:   Not yet, their weapons are still on line. I am running a "rm /etc/bin/weapons" command to remove all their weapons control programs.
Geordi:   But they can recreate the files, they may have backups reside on some other computers!
Data:   Then I just make sure they can not access the backups anymore ... I am running a "userdel -r root" to remove the root user, there! I am removing their current root user's shell ... Finished.
Worf:   Sir, their weapon systems are off line!
Riker:   Ensign, take us closer!
Wesley:   Aye Sir!
Worf:   We're in weapons range! ... Sir, the mine field!

< Scene >: Outer space, the mine field is deactivating by DS9

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Riker:   We have no time to fight DS9 now! The Dominion fleet is comming!
Picard:   Options!
Data:   Sir, since I am still logging in their system, I can program the Runabout to enable a tractor beam to tow DS9 into the wormhole and set auto-destruct to seal it.
Riker:   The Runabout can't even move DS9 an inch!
Data:   That means, I need DS9 to leave Bajor's orbit!
Riker:   Worf, targetting their reaction control system units and fire!

< Scene >: Outer space, the Enterprise fires and destroyed the RCS units of DS9

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Worf:   DS9 is off orbit and drifting.
Data:   I have finished programming the Runabout and activated the auto-destruct sequence count down.

< Scene >: Outer space, the Runabout activated a tractor beam and tow DS9 directly into the wormhole, then it explodes and sealed the wormhole

< Scene >: Main Bridge
Picard:   Well done Mr. Data!
Riker:   We've blocked the Dominion fleet alright. But what about Deep Space Nine? The wormhole? Major Kira? Odo? Garak? Quark? And the others?
Data:   Sir, since Paramount is not intended to make a DS9 movie in the future, all these objects are useless. It is, ok, to get rid of them.
Riker:   You are wise Data. (pause) Mr. Worf, what is the status of the Defiant and Captain Kirk?
Worf:   The Defiant keeps running and it seems Captain Kirk can't beat the Klingon fleet this time and trying to run away.
Riker:   Send a sub-space message to the Defiant, tell them to change course bearing 096 mark 221. Send another message to Captain Kirk and tell him to change course bearing 129 mark 030, maximum warp.
Worf:   Aye Sir. (working for a while) Sir, the heading you gave Captain Kirk will lead him directly to the Romulans! And the heading for the Defiant will lead them to the entry conduit which used to pull the Voyager into the Delta Quadrant!
Picard:   Hmmm, no more Enterprise 1701, no more Defiant. Number One, I see you've finally learned.
Riker:   I learn from the master Sir!
Picard:   Mr. Crusher, set course to Star Base 373, warp 4.
Wesley:   Coordinates set, warp 4.
Picard:   Engage.

< Scene >: The Enterprise go into warp, then Q's light flashes

< Scene >: Ready room
Picard:   Wha ... Where am I?
Q:   (drinking Picard's earl grey) Where are you? Can't you recognize your fishes!?
Picard:   So I'm back?
Q:   Back, there, here, wherever.
Picard:   Is this time about humanity?
Q:   (with an angry smile) Yes, yes, you've saved humanity again, Picard. Looking for options, trying possibilities, to boldly go ... Wait! That's Data, not you!
Picard:   Well, Q. As usual, Data save the universe and the entire Enterprise crew members take credits. That's how it works!
Q:   Well, I guess. Anyways who cares!? I have to take a rest now. May be later I'll stop by and check on you again. Have a joy ride Picard.
(Q's gone)

< Scene >: Main Bridge
(Picard leaves his ready room)
Riker:   (smiling) Feel refreshing, Sir?
Picard:   Oh yes, Number One. Ensign Crusher, set course to Deep Space Nine.
Riker:   Deep Space Nine?
Picard:   Just suddenly I'm thinking of Sisko. You have a problem?
Riker:   Oh no! I'd love to visit Quark.
Wesley:   Course set, Sir.
Picard:   Warp 1, engage.

< Scene >: The Enterprise go into warp

This conculded how 4 starships and a Runabout against the entire Jem'Hadar and Cardassian fleet. Continue ...?
