Civilians evacuated from the Outpost successfully, the crew of the Skarbek begin their daring escape under fire. Papa Bear, leader of the resistance fighters, issued the order to vacate all strongholds on the colony world and rendezvous with the vessel at an appropriate location. Commands given, he managed to avoid enemy fire to engage with his team in the makeshift prison, where their captive Commander Quinn Reynolds, Starfleet Intelligence Officer, had been held for a week. Prisoner in tow, they moved out of their position and headed toward where the Skarbek would be.
Meanwhile, the Maquis cell Second, known as Red and team began their perilous mission of bringing in the vessel to the rendezvous point (or RV). Dodging Cardassian fire from multiple raiders, they managed to get a landing spot close to where the main stretch of road once was that ran down the center of the outpost.
Further into Schulman, Kael Thomas and team worked to keep Cardassian invaders away from the medical clinic by using their ranged combat skills. While their position was quiet, with most of the fighting taking place deeper into the main street, elsewhere the Cardassians had started ground troop infiltration to clean up remaining colonists and any of the Maquis cell that may have still been alive. Once they were informed their position had been compromised and the location of the RV, they rolled out.
Over at the medical clinic, those injured in the first of the bombing raids had been taken down into the emergency shelter beneath. The team, comprising of the two Maquis Doctors, the technician and the engineer, worked to move the remaining wounded toward the RV. With some crew unable to walk and unconscious, they moved up into the main clinic and tried to repair the damaged transporter. Coming under attack from a Glin ground force, the team held off the attack until Stripper managed to get the transporter operational and they beamed back to the Skarbek, but not before Sim, Alias: Wheels set alight to the remaining gas canisters, blowing up the remnants of the clinic and their transport buffer pattern.
Upon landing, the Skarbek deployed the ramp to allow those left on foot to enter. However, this was in the middle of the Glin ground force. With little option remaining, Red provided the needed distraction by utilizing a large phaser weapon and blasting "Shoot to Thrill", an ancient rock music song by AC/DC in the hopes that the Cardassian forces would be drawn out and fall beneath her fire.
Once all crew were back on board the Skarbek, and the outpost lost to Cardassian shelling, they escaped the colony by flipping to warp speed within the atmosphere under the piloting skills of Sticks and fled out into the black of the DMZ.
