TSG-42 Resistance, By Sam G.

[Captain Black]

~Chapter 1~

Resistance flies through space, exploring the unknown, with Captain Keller and Commander Black. The year is 2219, Dan is 33 years old, his family is with him on this ship, as they sail into the unknown, searching for allies, not enemies.

The Tactical yelled, "Sir! Kilrathi ships bearing three one mark two eight six. Off the port bow!"

Pulls the receiver and patches it through out the ship. "Captain to the Bridge. Battlestations, I repeat, Battlestations." Slams the reciever down. "How many ships, Lieutenant."

"Two Destroyers, sir." Dan frowned, "Why? They are no match for an Advance Battle Cruiser." Radar control officer spoke, "I'm reading fighters! Several dozen." The Captain came onto the bridge, hearing the radar officer. "Launch all fighters. Bring the particle cannons into range, fire when ready."

Tactical moves his hands over the board. "Torpedo launchers loaded. Mid. range charged particle cannons are coming into range in five seconds."

"Open fire! Launch tubes two through six!" The torpedo tubes were double barreled, so 10 torpedoes were launched into space towards the Destroyers, as the Mid. range charged particle cannons roared with life, sending pulse beams of light into the Destroyer's shields.

"Incoming, six torpedoes!" Dan pulls the reciever with it patched through out the ship. "All hands, brace for impact!" The torpedoes slam into the shields and the ship rocks heavily.

Dan could see their fighters pawning the enemy fighters. "First Destroyer destroyed! Second Destroyer is heavily damaged, Low Range Charged particle cannons are in range, mid range Charged particle cannons are recharged."

"Fire at will!" Four torpedoes were launched, and all particle cannons like a blazing sound of thunder, the Kilrathi destroyer was gone in seconds.

The Captain patted Dan on the shoulder. "Good job Commander. Stand down from Tactical Alert. Then you can the day off." Dan nods, "Thank you sir." Pulls the reciever. "Stand down from Battlestations." Drops the reciever into it's place.

"All cannons have retracted back into the ship." Reported the Tactical officer. Dan just waved a hand and left the bridge. Later, he was walking down the corridore with his uniform jacket open. Enters his code and enters his families quarters, where his kids grabbed his legs, all yelling "Daddy!"

"Hey, you three should be in bed." His wife came to him and kissed him. "How can we when the alarm is blazing and the ship is shaking?" Sighed. "It was only two Kilrathi destroyers. Those cats don't know when to run when they see an Advance Battle Cruiser, especially from the Terran Federation." Sits down in his chair beside his desk.

Shelby then pushed the children to bed and she came to him, sitting in his lap, kissing him passionately on the lips. "Come to bed, you need your rest, and I need you." Dan smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without you." Walks her to their bed in the other room, hitting the lock key the door locks and he removes his clothes and joins his wife in bed.

~Chapter 2~

The ship was rocking heavily, Dan quickly got out of bed and got dressed. He ran out of his quarters and head for the nearest elevator.

Dan reaches the bridge to find the Captain in his chair. "Shields down to Sixty-Percent." yelled the tactical officer. "Are we under attack?" Asked Dan.

Keller shook his head, "No, we are entering a asteroid field." Dan quickly checked the charts. "We are off course Captain! This area is restricted!" Walked up to the helm and grabs him. "The hell were you thinking?!"

"Sir! It was unexplored, I thought we had all rights to explore unexplored space!" yelled the helm. Dan shook his head, "Not restricted space you moron! There is a reason why it is restricted!"

Keller rose from his chair, "Explain, Commander." Dan let go of the man, and faced his Captain. "There was a star here, but it was turned into a black hole! We don't know how but if we do not get out of here, we are going to fall into it!" Faces the helm, "Reverse course, hard to port, full thrust!"

The ship was starting to groan, the deck was beginning to rumble. "Sir! Message from one of our Navigation Bridge. They say we are caught in a gravitational pull!" Dan pulls the Helm out of his chair and throws him to the floor, then he takes the station and runs the controls.

The Captain helped the Helm officer back to his feet. "You better have a explaination for your actions, Mr. Black." Dan just worked on the controls. "I do, one, for being a idiot for not reading the rulse of restricted space!" At this time, he now has the ship facing the Black hole.

Keller grabbed Dan's shoulders. "What are you doing?!" Dan's right hand fingers were flying all over the number key pad, giving corridents to the Navigation bridge and to the computer. "I am manually giving corridents for a jump!" The Helm officer yelled, "We can't jump a black hole!"

"You can't, but I can!" His fingers continued to fly all over the number key pad. Finally the computer spoke, "Corridents confirmed, initiating hyperspace jump, in 10 seconds." The ops officer yelled again, "The Second Navigation Bridge agrees with the first that we don't have 10 seconds!"

"No problem!" Enters the override code and them slams his fist on the button, and everything inside the ship was suddenly frozen. Then after what seemed like hours stuck in time, the ship jumped out of hyperspace on the other side of the Asteroid field, half a million km from the Black holes gravitational pull.

Dan got out of the chair and stopped the Helm officer from retaking his post. "You. You are relieved of your duties, confined to your quarters and are to read all rules of restricted space, is that clear?" The Helm officer nodded and left the bridge. Keller put a hand on Dan's shoulder, but Dan shoved it off. "Don't, Captain. I have a family to protect, and if that man endangers this ship again, I swear to god, I will throw him back into the Academy."

Just about to leave the bridge when the Ops officer spoke, "Sir! Omega 22 Fleet is dead ahead." Keller took his chair. "Tell them that we have arrived, and are ready to join the fight to regain one of our planets from the Lizorians."

Dan took a moment, staring at the forward view ports then entered the elevator and left the bridge.
