Crawling away from the cargo hold of the Daisy, MacKenzie and Dakora made their way as silently as possible through a ventilation/maintenance duct to the communications room in the Daisy, where Commander MacKenzie managed to send a message to the Excalibur, though they were uncertain if the message was received - or even successfully sent. After completing this task, MacKenzie and Dakora proceeded through the ductwork until they came to the ''Daisy's'' galley. Hoping to find something they could use as a weapon, they instead found one of the occupying Klingons. Dakora swung down from the duct, neutralizing the enemy silently and efficiently. On him, they found a hand phaser and a dagger. Now armed, such as the armaments were, they turned their attentions to retaking the ship. | Crawling away from the cargo hold of the Daisy, MacKenzie and Dakora made their way as silently as possible through a ventilation/maintenance duct to the communications room in the Daisy, where Commander MacKenzie managed to send a message to the Excalibur, though they were uncertain if the message was received - or even successfully sent.

Winding their way through the ''Daisy'' as quietly as possible, given their condition, MacKenzie and Dakora are eventually accosted by two Klingons, but through teamwork and a touch of lucky timing, they gain the upper hand. This began an extermination mission of sorts, clearing the corridors of the small ship of hostiles, while working their way to the bridge. | |||

With the communications down, both the science team and the bridge crew employ the isolated comms systems of the shuttlecraft. In the case of the bridge crew, the shuttle was used as a carrier for the comms channel, allowing the Commodore to communicate with the team in Engineering, who were frantically working to assess and mitigate the cascading systems failures. The science team decided to use the onboard communications array of a shuttle to decode two intercepted messages. | With the communications down, both the science team and the bridge crew employ the isolated comms systems of the shuttlecraft.

With all the disparate teams attempting to solve the myriad issues facing them, it seemed like things couldn't really get much worse ... until the nanobots injected by the beacon began to take the form of a mist or small cloud in strategic locations around the ship. Once in mist-form, the swarm started reaching out with tendrils of energy, shorting out panels, causing power surges, and generally making repair efforts exponentially harder than they already were. The team in Engineering successfully managed to contain a sample of this swarm in an isolation field, and began working on a way to neutralize the threat. Soon, whether due to the combined efforts of the individual teams working against the attack or the unseen hand of fate, select systems began coming back online. | |||
On the Bridge of the ''Daisy'': | |||
Disgraced Klingon Captain Vo'Kor, feeling the time was right to attack the ''Excalibur'' and regain the honor that had been stripped from him, warped to where the currently immobile and listing Federation ship hung in space. His hail to the ship was simple: "Your two officers are dead. Surrender or die." He informed Commodore Nicholotti through the broken channel she had five minutes before he opened fire. | |||
The waiting period expired, Vo'Kor opened fire, blasting the ''Excalibur'' with the ''Daisy's'' phasers, sending shockwaves through the larger, but currently defenseless vessel. | |||
Just outside the doors to the Bridge however, and unbeknownst to Vo'Kor, Commander MacKenzie and Lieutenant Dakora stood beaten, broken, but determined to take control of this side of the situation. | |||
