<Lt. Cmdr. Max Mortimer, Shuttlecraft T'Khut>

"Lafayette, do you have a sensor lock"

"Negative, T'Khut. There's too much interference on Tarak's Comm Badge"

Oh well, here goes nothing.

Mortimer extends the RS-932 interface from his hand, and plugs it into the shuttlecraft's conn.

Backing away from the Lafayette, the shuttle rises, then flies forward, between the Lafayette's warp engines and the engineering hull, then increases to full speed towards the Klingon ship.

"Looks like you're going on a trip, Mr. Beata. Take a phaser from the locker, and prepare to transport"

Mortimer uses his other hand to set the transporter controls.

The shuttle approaches the Klingon ship, flies underneath at a distance of .5 metres, and comes up on the other side. Mortimer performs an Immelman, and ends up facing the Klingon ship.

Just like being back at the Academy......

Mortimer checks that Beata is ready, and hits the Transporter. 

He should be within a few metres of Tarak. 

[As we're not 100% sure if Tarak has actually left the game, I suggest we find him alive but injured, and return him to sick bay. We can then 'retire' him if he doesn't want to continue]

"Computer, lock onto Lt. Beata's comm badge"

"Mr. Beata, signal me when you're ready to return"

Suddenly a burst of phaser fire glances off the Shuttles shields.

They can't have full power back yet, or that would have killed us.

Mortimer puts the shuttle through a barrel roll, and returns to the cover of the Lafayette, oblivious to Ensign Gallagher's vomiting in the back of the shuttle.
