[Bridge]
Voyager sweeps between plasma streamers as Tom and Harry enter.
Kathryn and Cavit are at the Tactical station.
"Plasma storms were measured at levels three and four." said Rollins.
"The Cardassians gave us the last known heading of the Maquis ship, and we have charts of the plasma storm activity the day it disappeared. With a little help, we might be able to approximate its course." said Kathryn.
"I'd guess they were trying to get to one of the M-class planetoids in the Terikof Belt." said Tom.
"That's beyond the Moriya system." said Cavit.
"The plasma storms would have forced them in this direction." said Rollins. "Adjust our course to match." said Kathryn.
"Aye, Ma'am." said Stadi.
"The Cardassians claimed they forced the Maquis ship into a plasma storm where it was destroyed, but our probes haven't picked up any debris." said Kathryn taking her seat.
"A plasma storm might not leave any debris." suggested Tom standing beside her chair.
Kathryn looked at him "We'd still be able to pick up a resonance trace from the warp core." she said.
"Captain, I'm reading a coherent tetryon beam scanning us." said Harry.
"Origin, Mister Kim." said Kathryn.
"I'm not sure. There's also a displacement wave moving toward us." said Harry.
"On screen." said Kathryn.
The viewscreen shows a narrow band of energy heading towards them.
"Analysis." said Kathryn.
"It's some kind of polarised magnetic variation." said Harry.
"We might be able to disperse it with a graviton particle field." said Cavit.
"Do it. Red alert. Move us away from it, Lieutenant." said Kathryn.
"New heading, four one mark one eight zero." said Stadi.
"Initiating graviton field." said Cavit.
"The graviton field had no effect." said Harry.
"Full impulse." said Kathryn.
"The wave will intercept us in twelve seconds." said Harry.
"Can we go to warp?" Kathryn asked "not until we clear the plasma field, Captain." said Stadi.
"Five seconds." said Harry.
"Brace for impact." said Kathryn, she sat down in her chair as Tom held onto something.
"Three." said Harry.
Cavit is sent flying across the bridge as the wave hits. White out. The bridge is a mess with broken conduits and shorting cables. Kathryn checks Cavit for a pulse. Nothing.
"Report!" ordered Kathryn.
"Hull breach, deck fourteen. Comm. lines to Engineering are down. Trying to re-establish." said Harry.
"Repair crews, seal off hull breach on deck fourteen." said Kathryn.
"Aye, Captain." said a crewwoman.
"Casualty reports coming in. Sickbay is not responding." said Rollins.
"Bridge to Sickbay. Doctor, can you hear me?" Kathryn asked, she turned to Tom who was with Stadi.
