Kirk still had some time left in the day after the ritual to remove Mieon from Kevek's mind and put her in a Katric Arc.
He took a Skuttler Discharger down to Engineering and put in a request for it to be modified into a weapon. This had come from one of the ancient robots that had guarded the temple the Arc had come from. They told him to come back in a couple of weeks, at which point it would be 'Starfleet Ready'.
That evening he also had a chat with Celes and they agreed to keep their relationship on the down low. It was common knowledge that under these highly unusual circumstances (i.e. Voyager being lost in the Delta Quadrant!) and stressful time people were forming relationships that were strictly speaking against Starfleet Regulations.
As long as it was not openly displayed then it appeared the Captain was willing to turn a blind eye.
So, Celes, ever cautious, thought it best they met romantically only every three or four days and Kirk agreed to this.
DAY 138 (thu)
Kirk worked a standard shift on the Cacophony, supervising and helping with the many repairs needed onboard. Despite his and Dell's efforts they could not get the AI known as Adam James to move. The core seemed to function to a certain extent but was unresponsive.
In the evening he tinkered and reprogrammed his Engineering Bot.
DAY 139 (fri)
Kirk worked onboard the Cacophony once more.
In the evening he spent some time with Ceres at Sandrine's.
DAY 140 (sat)
Kirk worked onboard the Cacophony once more.
In the evening he tinkered and reprogrammed his Engineering Bot.
DAY 141 (sun)
Kirk worked onboard the Cacophony once more.
In the evening he tinkered and reprogrammed his Engineering Bot.
Today Voyager (with the Cacophony at her wing) arrived at an empty system with a very interesting Class D planet system. Early scans seemed to indicated a new element (the 247th one) and they went in to take a closer look.
Somewhat at a loose end while this was taking place Kirk was given the option of exploring the system while Voyager did some dull sciency stuff.
He opted to go check out a space hulk that had been spotted about 1 LY out from the system in deep space.
It took them 12 hours to get there.
Initially scans of the hulk informed them that it was a wrecked passenger ship once known as 'The Vele Swift'. They had no idea how long it had been here.
Scans detected life signs though, but no one responded to hails.
Kirk reasoned that perhaps someone was in need of help so he chose an airlock and had Patterson manoeuvre them up to it. They then went over to it in Environment Suits.
Finding it impossible to open they tried another and managed to use a Tricorder to persuade it to let them in.
Looking through the small window of the internal lock door they saw what looked like a humanoid shaped alien and its four legged alien pet. It took one look at them and ran off down a corridor.
As they entered the ship they were immediately attacked by aliens with Bowcasters, Duel Wield phaser pistols and melee weapons. The pets also savagely attacked them.
These aliens, they learned later were Bodarts, a savage species and very fond of piracy.
Ensign Kirk, Crewmen Dell, Ceres and Murphy made their way deeper into the ship, having a running fire fight with the Bodarts every step of the way. The battle went well for them until they met a much more powerful individual.
They could not see exactly who she was as she wore a sophisticated EV suit with a mirrored visor, but her figure was female. On either side of her were Bodarts using powerful alien weapons and shields. The female leader wielded a large and bizarre looking heavy weapon.
She seemed willing to talk at first and when Kirk asked her if she needed any help she said no and asked them to leave. As they headed back to the air lock though she let rip with her gun that seemed to be half phase rifle and half grenade launcher.
It ripped apart Kirk's shields and badly injured all of them, so much so that they only just made it back onboard the Caco.
