Akula: "Blanketing sub-space on your order Lieutenant"
 by Ensign T'Kang


T'Kang grumbled at the Andorian's summation of the situation.  He 
seemed determined not to harm the Cardassian vessels that even 
now, threatened the away team.  The Klingon might have expected 
as much from Lieutenant jg Nelsy, but not from the Andorian.  His 
logic escaped the stubborn Klingon.  "kill them and be done with it."  
He thought.

"T'Kang, get working on an effective means of dampening their 
subspace signals without uncloaking. I need tactical to calculate 
some called shots for me to disable engines and weapons, I don't 
want to disable them if we don't have to... a full operational ship will 
make a cleaner getaway... . We can't let this prize go. Anyone else 
have any ideas?"  Za ordered.

T'Kang glanced at the Lieutenant, narrowing his eyes.  He was a 
pilot, not a communications expert.   T'Kang let out a low growl as he 
left the helm and moved over to the communications station.  
Grabbing the lower access panel, the Klingon paused glaring at 
Lieutenant Za before giving the grating a decisive tug, jerking the 
cover out of the way.   Rolling over onto his back, T'Kang began to 
reconfigure the transmitter to try and set up some sort of feed-back 
loop to blanket the area in random sub-space transmissions.  T'Kang 
was convinced the Andorian had assigned him to the task to make 
him look bad.

While struggling with the mass of isolinear chips and ODN 
connections, T'Kang was surprised to hear the Chief Medical Officer 
speaking to Lieutenant Za.  She had an idea to try and trick the 
Cardassians into believing that she was working for them and had 
captured this ship.   T'Kang's lip curled at the thought of the 
Cardassians `believing' the Doctor and landing their shuttle in the 
Akula's shuttle bay.  Nelsy insisted that once in our shuttle bay, it 
would be an easy matter to disarm the Cardassians.    The thought 
struck T'Kang that the opposite was also true.  Once the Cardassian 
shuttle had landed in the shuttle bay,  if Lieutenant Nelsy did turn out 
to be a Cardassian spy, it would be easy for her to assist the landed 
troops in taking over this vessel.     T'Kang bared his teeth at the 
thought, not knowing if it was his instincts that were causing him to 
doubt Nelsy or too much exposure to Lieutenant jg Enya.   All he 
knew for sure was, he didn't like it.

"The transmitter modifications are complete."  T'Kang barked out 
loudly while getting up off the ground.  "We can blanket sub-space 
frequencies to effectively block out all communications within two 
hundred thousand kilometers whenever you are ready to activate it."

Lieutenant Za glanced over at T'Kang and gave his head a slight 
bob before looking back at the Cardassian and replying to her plan.
