Unhappy with a new treaty, Federation Colonists along the Cardassian border have banded together. Calling themselves 'The Maquis', they continue to fight the Cardassians. Some consider them heroes, but to the governments of the Federation and Cardassia, they are outlaws.
[Maquis ship]
A massive Cardassian ship is firing at a tiny little vessel. "Damage report." said Chakotay, he seemed to be a Native American with a tattoo on his forehead above his right eyebrow.
"Shields at sixty percent." said the Vulcan, he was named Tuvok and was actually undercover.
"A fuel line has ruptured. Attempting to compensate. Damn it! We're barely maintaining impulse. I can't get any more out of it." said B'Elanna, she was a half Klingon half Human, raised on Qo'nos the Klingon homeworld and the older half sister to Ericka Torres, a half Human, one quarter Romulan and one quarter Vulcan.
"be creative!" snapped Chakotay. A woman to B'Elanna's left smirked slightly.
"how am I supposed to be creative with a thirty nine year old rebuilt engine?" asked B'Elanna.
"Chakotay, we're recieving a transmission" said a woman beside B'Elanna.
She was a Human/Romulan/Vulcan, her name's Ericka Torres, the aforementioned half sister of B'Elanna Torres, she's the Val Jean's Communications Officer. Ericka was born two years after B'Elanna and her father was already separated from Miral, his ex-wife.
Upon meeting B'Elanna, Ericka discovered they shared the same father, which confused B'Elanna as she was six years old when her father had left, Ericka was just as confused because she didn't meet her father until she was four years old, but the two formed a friendship.
Ericka had joined Starfleet, and graduated from the Academy at twenty but decided to defect to the Maquis, as a child Ericka lived across the road from Harry Kim and she grew up with him as a friend but he knew not to argue with her.
Then there was her well known now public former relationship with Tom Paris, it was complicated and she didn't even know when the relationship was made public because they were very discreet, Ericka guessed that when she was drunk she confessed it to Seska who probably told the rest of the crew.
Ericka still grieved, she truly loved Tom and as someone who lacked empathy, was brash, abrasive, cold, calculating and blunt it was hard for her to truly love someone but that mindset was changed when she met Tom Paris.
"Maquis ship, this is Gul Evek of the Cardassian Fourth Order. Cut your engines and prepare to surrender or we will d--" said Gul Evek on the viewscreen, a nod from Chakotay and Ericka cuts the transmission.
"Initiating evasive pattern omega. Mark." said Chakotay.
"Shields at fifty percent." said Tuvok.
"I need more power if we're going to make it to the Badlands." said Chakotay, when B'Elanna came up with an idea.
"Take the weapons offline. We'll transfer all power to the engines." she said.
"Considering the circumstances, I question that proposal at this time." said Tuvok.
"What does it matter? We're not making a dent in their shields anyway! You wanted creative." said B'Elanna.
"Tuvok, shut down all the phaser banks. If you can give me another thirty seconds at full impulse, I'll get us into the Badlands." said Chakotay.
"Phasers offline." said Tuvok.
"Throw the last photons at them and then give me the power from the torpedo system." said Chakotay.
