Forwarded by the ASC-VSO Posted: Sat, 27 Mar 2004 02:46:39 GMT In: alt.startrek.creative From: panatropic@yahoo.com (K M Wilcox) Title: Wolf 359 Author: K. M. Wilcox (panatropic@yahoo.com) Series: TNG Rating: [PG-13] Codes: drabble Date: March 26, 2004 Summary: At the battle, a captain faces death. * * * * The last words Captain Montoya ever heard were when the helmsman cried, "Shields failing!" More was said, but he never knew what. For the first few seconds, everything was drowned out by the steady drone of the Borg beam. It burned through the turbolift doors and sliced diagonally across the bridge, vaporizing the helm and his first officer, then back through a science station. Then, inexorably, the other half of the room fell away. Montoya barely noticed he could no longer breathe as he stared across the silently expanding field of debris. So many ships, he thought as death came. -- Stephen Ratliff ASC Awards Tech Support http://www.trekiverse.us/ASCAwards/commenting/ No Tribbles were harmed in the running of these Awards ASCL is a stories-only list, no discussion.
