Chapter 13: He's Missing

As I sat in the mess hall with Garren, Tabor and Luke eating lunch all I
could think about was Tom. The captain sent him to survey a nebula and he
was due back in the next few hours. "What do you think Jack?" asked
Tabor. I came out of my trance and looked up, "Sorry what?" I asked. "Were
you evening listening?" asked Garren. "No, I'm sorry I was just thinking
about Tom." I replied. He smiled and said "Don't worry he will be back
soon." "What were you saying?" I asked. "About Luke trying to get with
Crewman Morris, they have been eyeing each other up for ages." Said
Tabor. I looked over at Luke who was blushing deeply. "I think he should."
I said. The doors to the mess hall opened and of all people to walk in was
Crewman Morris. "Speak of the devil." I said as Luke and Garren turned
around. I smiled when Luke put his head in his hands going very very
red. Morris walked over said "Can I join you?" I looked up and said "Sure,
please." I said taking another sip of my coffee. "How are things going?" I
asked. "All good, just finished sorting out the weapons array on the delta
flyer." He replied. "Sounds like fun." I said looking over at Luke. He
hadn't said a word so I looked over at Garren and he said "So Luke, how
long is it going to be before you tell Morris that you like him?" I almost
choked on my coffee. "Subtle" I said to Garren. We all started to laugh
when Tabor chimed up saying "And Morris how long is it going to be before
you tell Luke that you want to jump his bones, I think that's how you put
it the other day right?" I looked at the both of them and they were
blushing very badly. "I don't know maybe tonight over dinner; say 19:30 in
my quarters." Said Morris to Luke who smiled and replied saying "Sure, I'll
be there." I got up and said "Well seen as my match making is done, I need
to get back to the bridge." "Okay see ya." They all said. I strolled out of
the mess hall and up to the bridge. When I got up to the bridge everyone
was looking at me and not really saying much. "Jack, can I see you in my
ready room a moment." Said the captain. I looked at her and said "Sure." I
followed her into the ready room as we walked in she went over to the
window and looked out with her back turned to me. "What is it?" I
asked. "Okay, 10 minutes ago we received an automated distress call from
Tom's shuttle. We tried to hail him and we got no response. We can't locate
him anywhere on sensors and I have decided to take Voyager over to the
nebula to investigate, but I ask that you don't raise your hopes too much
until we have something." Said Janeway. "Oh my god, Captain we have to find
him." I said breaking down and crying. She replicated me a tissue and
consoled me. After an hour she said, "Feel like going back out there." I
dried my eyes and said "Yeah, I have to find him."

"Captain's log Stardate 52481.3 we have been searching for Ensign Walker
for 5 days now and still have found no sign of him. I'm worried about Jack;
I don't think he is taking this very well. We have managed to locate pieces
of debris from Tom's shuttle and Jack has spent a lot of the time analysing
the debris. Fortunately the doctor has informed me that there was no sign
any organic material on board at the time the shuttle was destroyed which
leads me to believe that Ensign Walker was abducted and..." was all the
captain managed to get out. "Captain Janeway to the bridge." Said
Tuvok. She stood up and walked out of her ready room and stood on the
bridge. "What is it?" she asked noticing the ship had gone to red
alert. "There has been an unauthorised launch of the Delta Flyer."
Explained Tuvok. "Who's on board?" she asked. "Lieutenant Carter." He
replied. Janeway stared on the viewscreen as the flyer went to warp. "Track
his course." She ordered Kim. "I can't he's masked his warp trail, he's
gone." He replied. "Good hunting Jack." Said Janeway silently. In a way she
could understand why he was doing this, but that still didn't excuse him
taking a shuttle. Assuming he came back she wouldn't be too hard on
him. She probably would have done the same thing herself in his
position. She thought

20 MINUTES EARLIER

 I was sat in the science lab going over the sensors logs from Tom's
shuttle which were heavily damaged. "Computer access the backup sensor logs
from the shuttle." I said. The computer chirped and brought them up on the
monitor. I trolled through them and I wasn't expecting to find anything. To
my surprise there was a warp signature on the screen. "Computer analyse the
warp signature currently displayed and cross reference with any matches in
the database." I said. The computer worked away. A minute later the
computer announced "Analysis complete, match found." I looked on the screen
and couldn't believe my eyes. I thought we left those guys behind a little
under 3 years ago. It was the Voth. I was hardly surprised because of their
transwarp abilities. The Voth were essentially dinosaurs who left earth
over 20 million years and settled in the delta quadrant. I transferred the
data to the delta flyer and then accessed the transporters. I initiated a
site to site transport over to the flyer. I had to do this alone. Bringing
the systems online I modulated the warp core to mask my warp trail. That
way Voyager couldn't follow me. I then overrode the security systems on the
shuttlebay doors and they opened and I flew the flyer straight out. I could
see that Voyager had detected me and was moving to follow. "Computer scan
for the warp trail I transferred from the science lab." I ordered. "Trail
detected." Said the computer. "Lay in a course and engage at maximum warp."
I ordered. The computer chirped and away I went. "Computer what's our ETA?"
I asked. "1 hour 43 minutes." The computer replied. "What is the vessels
current status?" I asked. "The Vessel is holding position in orbit of a
Class D Moon." The computer replied. "Adjust our vector to conceal our
approach." I ordered. "Acknowledged." Said the computer.

The next hour and a half went by really quickly as I planned what I would
do. "Approaching designated co-ordinates." Announced the computer. "Drop
out of warp and go to one quarter impulse." I ordered. The computer chirped
and we began our approach. 11 Minutes later I could see the ship ahead of
me. I had gone into a low orbit of the moon which had a paramagnetic core
which masked my energy signature. I scanned the Voth ship and noticed that
from there were only two people on board and Tom. Tom was being held in a
cargo bay which was one deck below where the other two were which was
obviously their command centre. I checked and saw that their shields were
down. This was too easy. I put the ship on auto pilot and grabbed a phaser
and tricorder. Attaching them to by belt, I worked a control panel, setting
the co-ordinates of Tom and ordered the computer to transport me over there
and wait for my signal to beam me back. "Computer Energise." I said. I
dematerialised in a blue hue and rematerialised in the alien cargo bay. I
saw Tom tied up on the floor. It was then that I heard their intruder alarm
going off. I withdrew my phaser and went over to Tom. I pulled the gag he
had over his mouth off and started to untie his hands. "Am I glad to see
you." He said. "I'm surprised the captain let you transport over by
yourself." He added. "Erm, me to" I said. I had his hands untied and was
just pulling him up when the doors to the cargo bay opened and the Voth
came running in and one of them fired his weapon. I grabbed Tom and we
ducked behind a container and fired my phaser to which they ducked. I
tapped my commbadge. "Computer two to beam out." I said and we
dematerialised out and reappeared on the flyer. "The flyer? You came here
by yourself." He said. "Yeah." I said. "You idiot you could have been
killed." He replied. "Well you're bloody welcome and after 5 days of trying
to find you I couldn't stand not being with you." I said. "Warning, Voth
Vessel approaching." The computer announced. "We don't have time to
argue. Take the helm." I said. He went down and took the seat while I went
over and took tactical. "Red Alert." I said and the computer activated the
alert. I charged weapons and raised shields, while Tom took us up and
initiated evasive Maneuvours to try to avoid being hit by the Voth
weapons. "The Voth are charging weapons." I said. They fired and we took a
hit. "Shields at 73%" I said. "Take us about, we can get under them." I
said. Tom flew us about and I targeted their shield matrix "Firing
phasers." I said. I fired multiple shots and they hit us back "I've lost
warp drive." Said Tom. "Evasive action pattern omega." I said. He flew the
ship and I fired multiple spreads of photon torpedoes taking out their
shields. "You knocked out their shields. Target them again." Said Tom. "I
will just fly us as close as you can." I said. They fired on us again and
we took another hit "Shields at 32%" I said firing another set of
torpedoes. I hit their port nacelle and they took heavy damage. I then
fired phasers and hit their starboard nacelle and crippled both of
them. They couldn't go to warp now. Tom brought us within direct line of
their impulse engines and I fired disabling them. Tom flew us above their
ship and I didn't have time to argue as they fired and took out our impulse
engines. "We've lost engines. Thrusters are still online." Tom said. "Then
bring us about I want to take out their weapons." I said. He flew us over
and I took out their torpedoes and took out their phasers but not before
this hit us again. "Their weapons are down, but sadly we've got major
damage and we need to set down to make repairs." I said. "They are in worse
shape than we are; they have..." was all tom got out before my console
beeped. "Tom full thrusters now." I said. "Why?" he asked. "Their core is
about to breach." I said. He moved us away but we needed impulse. I watched
the timer countdown and soon their ship imploded and we were caught in the
shockwave. I was thrown from my chair and landed on the floor. After a few
seconds I stood up and brushed myself off to see that the cabin had some
smoke lingering from where consoles had ruptured. I looked over at Tom who
stood up and said "You okay?" I looked at him and smiled. "Of course." I
said. "Well it looks like we're in trouble." He said. "We need to find
somewhere to set down. Start scanning." I said. He nodded and went back to
work.

After finding a suitable planet which was Class M and uninhabited Tom
looked at me. "I've found a planet, but it's 2 light years away. We need
warp drive." He said. I checked what the problem was with the warp drive
and it turns out that the computer had shut it down when it detected an
overload in the EPS Grid. "I will bring the core back online." I said. I
explained what the problem was as he helped me sort out the core. There was
a gentle hum as we heard the core power up. "The core is online, set a
course maximum warp." I ordered. "Aye Aye" said Tom. After about an hour at
warp Tom announced "We're approaching the planet." I looked it over and
said "Take us down." He turned in his chair and a look of worry appeared on
his face. "What?" I asked. "I think I should tell you, while I'm a great
pilot, I was never able to master the idea of landing a shuttle this size
on a planet surface. If we were in a Class 2 then I could do it but not in
the flyer." He told me. I rolled my eyes and said "Fine, I'll do it." I
said taking over the helm. I set the decent and began to take us down. We
eventually entered the lower atmosphere and I said "Find us a landing
site." Tom located one and gave me the co-ordinates and I took us there. I
extended the landing struts and set us down, taking engines offline and
performing the right procedures associated with landing a shuttle. "Okay
we're down." I said. We opened up the hatch and exited the shuttle and took
a look around. We had landed in the middle of grassy field and it was a
glorious day. I went back into the shuttle while tom was walking around the
shuttle. I grabbed a tricorder and a phaser and went back outside. "Here."
I said handing him them. "Why the phaser?" he asked. "Just in case we
aren't alone and it's procedure." I replied. "Okay well let's get started
on getting a damage report." He said to me. We walked back into the shuttle
and I went over to the engineering console and pulled up a damage
report. "Why don't you get out the emergency supplies." I said grabbing a
padd and downloading the damage report. There were fused relays in the
impulse engines, the weapons were offline, shields were down, structural
integrity was at 86% and we had a small hull breach. Those were our main
priorities everything else could be sorted out back on Voyager. "How's it
look?" asked Tom. "Not as bad as I thought. Two good things though. The
replicator and sub space transmitter are online." I said. He smiled and
said "So we don't have to eat rations and we can send out a distress call
that's all good." Said Tom. I handed him the report and said "Take a look
while I send the distress call." I went down to the helm and worked the
controls bringing up the distress call and encrypting it. I then opened the
channel and said "Delta Flyer to Voyager, this Lieutenant Carter, I've
located and rescued Ensign Walker but we have taken damage. We've made an
emergency landing on the surface of a planet. Request immediate
assistance." And closed the channel. I then saw the display register that
it was being transmitted on all subspace frequencies. "Alright let's get to
work." I said. We had been working for a couple of hours and hadn't really
spoken as we were too focused on trying to make repairs. The sun was really
hot and I had stripped down to my vest. "Here." I heard tom say. I was on
top of the flyer sealing the hull breach. I looked down at him and said
"Hold on." I slid down the side of the flyer and landed on the nacelle
sitting there and taking a glass off him. "Thanks." I took a big swig and
tasted cold lemonade. "So how have you got on?" I asked. "I got the impulse
engines back and brought the phasers online. You?" he asked "I sealed the
hull breach and replaced some relays in the shield matrix. It's back
online." I said. "That's good." He said. He took a swig of his drink and
said "By the way thank you." I looked at him. "For what?" I asked. "Coming
and rescuing me." He said smiling. "Didn't quite work out the way I
planned. Look at us, Voyager has no idea where we are and I managed to
damage the flyer." I said. "Yeah Paris is going to be pissed." He said. I
smiled and said "I think you're right." He came up and sat next to me on
the nacelle. "You took a big risk taking the flyer." He said. "Yeah but
you're more important. Besides we need to have that baby next year." I said
smiling. He kissed me and said "Count on it. And just to let you know you
look really hot right now. It makes me want you even more." I looked at him
and said "Well we are all alone."

I rolled over and lay on my stomach dressed in nothing but my vest and
underwear and I looked at Tom who was laid out in the sun. We just had
amazing sex on an alien world out in the open. It was unbelievable. "Seems
like you two have had a productive day." I heard a voice say. I turned over
and Tom opened his eyes to see the captain, B'Elanna and Tuvok stood over
us. I immediately stood up and said "Captain." She smiled and said "We got
your message, now put some trousers on and fill us in." I grabbed my
trousers and put them on as did Tom, I then scrambled to put my socks and
boots on and grabbed my belt which had my phaser and tricorder on. I put it
on and walked inside the flyer where the captain and B'Elanna were checking
through systems. "The impulse engines are back online which is a good
thing. We can get the flyer back to the ship without any help." Said
B'Elanna. "Good. Ah Jack, good work on repairs. Fancy going home?" she
asked. "You bet." I said. "Then take the helm." She said. I took the helm
while everyone else took their posts and grabbed the supplies which were
outside before Tuvok sealed the hatch. "The hatch has been sealed. We can
take off." He said. I brought engines online and took us up and set a
course for Voyager. "Janeway to Voyager" said the captain. "Go ahead
Captain" said Chakotay. "We found Tom and Jack along with the flyer and are
on our way back to the ship." She said. "Understood we'll prepare for your
arrival. Chakotay Out." He replied. A few minutes later we were back in
space and I flew us in to the shuttlebay and set us down. I took engines
offline and we all left the shuttle. "You two get to sickbay and have the
doctor check you out; I'll join you there in a few minutes." Said
Janeway. "Aye captain." I said grabbing my jacket and shirt and leaving the
shuttlebay. It was good to be back. We rode the turbolift up to deck 5 and
eventually arrived in sickbay. "Ah Jack, Tom you're back." Said the doctor
grabbing his tricorder and gesturing that we sit on a bio bed. He scanned
us both and gave me an injection to help counteract the sun burn I had
taken by being sat on the hull as the captain walked in. "Doctor how are
they?" she asked. "They are both in fine condition apart from Jack getting
a bit sun burnt." He replied. "Good, how are do you feel Tom?" she asked
walking over to us. "Fine thank you." Said Tom. I looked down at the floor
and she came over to me and said "And as for you Jack, we need to have a
word. I am very very very..." she paused and looked at me "Proud of
you. Not many people would have had the guts to take on a Voth Ship and
actually be able say they survived it. You both did a fine job and I'm
placing a commendation in both of your permanent files for handling
yourself well under pressure." She said smiling causing me to look up. "On
two conditions, first you get me full reports on you're away mission, and
the second being that you repair the flyer. I want that shuttle sparkling."
She said smiling. "Count on it." I said. "Good, then you're both dismissed
and I will see you both at 07:00 tomorrow. You earned yourself a break."
She said. "Can we go?" I said to the doctor. He looked up and said "Of
course." I smiled and said "Thanks doc" and we both exited sickbay.

After arriving back at our quarters we showered up and got changed and went
up to the mess hall to have something to eat. I was famished. As we entered
the mess hall I saw Luke and Crewman Morris sat eating with B'Elanna and
Paris at the big table in the corner. B'Elanna waved us over and we went to
Neelix and grabbed some food and some coffee before making our way
over. "Well if it isn't our resident hero." Said Paris. "I'm not a hero." I
said. "Well you are my knight in shining armour." Said Tom. "Stop it." I
said kissing him. "That's enough of that for today." Said B'Elanna. "What
do you mean?" asked Paris. "Oh did you not hear, Tuvok, the captain and I
found these two stretched out on the grass in nothing but their underwear
after obviously having s..." was all she got out because I cut her off by
saying "Thank you, that's enough." And everyone just burst out laughing.
"Well at least we did it." Said Tom gesturing to Luke and Morris. Morris
looked up and said "Actually we did, last night on our 2nd date." "It took
you up to the second date, Tom and I did it on the first."  I said. "So did
we..." said B'Elanna. Paris looked at her and smiled. "Well maybe we're not
all as easy to get into the sack like you guys." Said Luke. We all laughed
and carried on talking and soon we all went our separate ways. Tom and I
went back to our quarters where I checked the time 21:00. "Fancy going to
bed, I'm so tired." I said yawning. "Same." He said. After stripping off we
climbed into bed and tom pulled me into him and kissed me on the
neck. "Good night my hero. I love you." He said. "Goodnight my love. I love
you too." I said. I turned out the lights and as soon as my head hit the
pillow I was gone.
