Personal Log of Lt. Victor Barclay de Tolly

"Computer," Victor says to it as he was dictating his personal logs from the other Reality he came from. "The date is September 4th, 2389. My sister Nichelle and I were on a transport ship called The USS James. We were headed to Deep Space 9. There were about forty-six Starfleet personnel on board going to the base as they were to meet their ships like my sister and I.

It has been fourteen years since the Dominion War. There were still remnants of the war throughout the quadrant. Some just do not forget on either side what happened. The James had to rendezvous with the USS Exodus. When they arrived, they found the Exodus abandoned. After scanning the ship, there was an abandoned ship where all the escape pods were gone plus twenty-four crewmenbers dead.

Captain Mei Lee immediately sent a call out for help. She sent the Starfleet Officers over there to make the Exodus spaceworthy. Of course, they had to take some kind of the cargo to do so. As they were doing so, a Cardassian ship called Revlar showed up.

"Greetings," the male voice said, "I am Fafnir. If you value your lives, you will leave both ships."

Next to Captain Lee was a civilian Doctor who says to her, "It is a trap. They have us escape and they will scoop us and take us to a prison camp to do slave labor like they did with the other crews they have captured."

"Thank you Doctor Cassius," Captain said as she could tell she was out gunned. "Any options?"

Cassius grinned as he could read the minds of the ones on the Exodus. "Plan is in the works. Let me go over on the enemy ship on my signal."

"Their shields are up," Captain Lee says with a sigh.

"Yes but my sister is over on the Exodus," Cassius says as he says looking at it. "She and I will cause them to drop their shields. Exodus will board them after they have their shields dropped and they managed a few bombs to go off."

"Oh damn," Captain Lee says as she revealed in her thoughts she was in with the pirates.

Cassius uses his Talosian deception as Lee contacts the Exodus after she thinks she had taken care of Cassius.

Meanwhile on the Exodus, Ensign Nichelle Barclay de Tolly stayed in Engineering as her brother Victor went with two away teams to the two Teleport rooms.

Ensign Angelica Blaire coordinating with her brother, they caused the enemy to drop their shields. A navigator on the bridge of the Exodus targeted Engineering on the enemy ship. After the explosions had settled, both teams boarded as they kill when needed and stun when possible.

Within five minutes, the enemy ship was secured and Angelica extracted the information where the prison slave labor camp was located.

Thirty minutes later the USS Aventine showed up. Captain Ezri Dax sent her XO over to the Exodus. She waited for the USS Defiant to show up as the three ships went to go liberate the prisoners on a slave labor camp.

After everything was over with, Captain Ezri Dax requested from Captain Worf for he to transfer Victor to be transfer to the Aventine. He agreed as The Defiant will now have Ensign Nichelle Barclay de Tolly.

Victor as he settled in on the Aventine, Doctor Cassius brought over his most precious cargo which was his two year old daughter Lara. "Thank you Doctor," Victor says shaking Cassius's hand, "for protecting my daughter. I will never forget it."

"She slept through the whole ordeal," Cassius says shaking his hand back. "You should have kept her back on Earth."

"Her mother died a year ago," Victor exhaled, "It is tempted to leave her on Earth with my mother but if I did that, I would be a stranger."

"Understood," Cassius acknowledged.

Back in the present, Victor finished his log. He cross-referenced what happened in this timelne. It went down the same way but there were more casualties.
