Time: After 'Components' and before and during 'Bite Me!'
Scene:  Bridge

*** Initially on the Bridge ***

Beta Team's members were thrown out of the conduits into the bridge by the concussion of the ship's sudden lack of movement. Inman took a laser bolt to the chest and was killed instantly when she entered the room first. nce Kitanna's feet hit the floor, she retaliated by swinging her rifle and smashing the butt into the jaw of one of the ship's invaders. The man staggered backward, blood pouring copiously from his mouth, and tumbled over one of the navigation consoles, unconscious.  Phaser fire erupting around her, she jumped into the vacant seat and regained control, bringing the ship out of its literal drop through space.

"Shit! That was close!" Kitanna heard the rest of Beta Team taking advantage of the surprise 'fall out' from the Jefferies tube as phaser fire continued around her. Ducking several times, she motioned for another Ensign to take the helm. "Make sure NO ONE takes control of this helm but you or the Captain... understood?"

"Aye, Sir," came the simple reply.

Turning, Kitanna watched as another Carpathia crewman, Lieutenant Cray from Alien Sciences, fell at the hand of one of the remaining pirates. No longer able to control the rage building inside her, she ran full force toward the over-sized intruder.  Come hell or high water she was going to help take back the Captain's ship and...their home.

Screaming, she slammed into the figure from behind, causing both individuals to hit the floor of the bridge... hard. Within seconds, she had stood and, stepping on the man's throat, fired her phaser rifle into his chest. Looking up, she watched as Ensign Baitman strangled an intruder trying to shutdown the ventilation system. Hearing a click behind her, Kit instinctively turned and fired, dropping the last pirate face first into the floor.
==================

"Get another team to take back Engineering. Honestly, how hard is it to take a ship? WE ARE FARKING PIRATES FOR Q's SAKE!"

She stomped around in her thigh high boots and leather outfit like an angry dominatrix.

"I think it's time to kill the Monkey's Captain... do we know where he is?!?"  Before anyone could answer the door to the Captain's Ready Room opened and several Starfleet officers entered, led by what looked like a Vulcan half-breed.

"What the...!" Kitanna took all of three seconds to fire three times, hitting Blue in each leg and once in the stomach.  The pirate dropped to the floor, but not before firing back, hitting Kitanna in the left shoulder, causing her to scream in pain.

The remaining officers quickly disabled the leather-clad woman and bound her hands and feet until reinforcements arrived.  One officer remained, pointed his phaser at her head, smiling.

"Keep her alive but immobile until the Captain gets here," grimmaced Kitanna.  Slapping her comm badge, Kitanna uttered four words, "Beta successful and secured."
