-Aaron eyes the approaching //Prakesh// and calls out, “Battle stations!” The shields go up and weapons run hot as the //Prakesh// comes into view and Ten reports, “Incoming hail for Captain [[[[trek:characters:shen|Shen]].” Aaron nods and Ten routes it to the main viewscreen. They all see a hard-edged female Cardassian gul as she says, //“Captain Sh…”// and trials off when she sees Aaron. Aaron smiles and replies, “I am Captain Aaron Englyss, the new commander of the //USS Boston//. Captain Shen has been reassigned for reasons I’m not going to tell you. But I have been looking forward to meeting you, Gul [[trek:characters:drucel|Drucel]].” Gul Drucel’s eyes narrow, but Aaron can see she’s swiftly recalculating. She then replies, //“Captain Englyss. Is that Scottish heritage?”// Caught off guard, Aaron replies, “Indeed. Have you ever been to Scotland?” Gul Drucel laughs hollowly as she sweeps the bridge and notes the new faces, //“No. I fear your homeland wouldn’t be welcoming to Cardassians. Too… wet. What brings you to the middle of nowhere, captain?”// +Aaron eyes the approaching //Prakesh// and calls out, “Battle stations!” The shields go up and weapons run hot as the //Prakesh// comes into view and Ten reports, “Incoming hail for Captain [[[[trek:characters:shen|Shen]].” Aaron nods and Ten routes it to the main viewscreen.

-Aaron smiles and replies, “One of my officers was here several months ago and planted a garden. He insists the tomatoes are ready, and the ones from here make spaghetti sauce to die for.” Gul Drucel retorts, //“He must have been from the late, lamented// Springfield. //Sadly, Captain Englyss, no... tomatoes have survived.”// Aaron, still stalling for time, turns back to Kimball and says lightly, “See? I told you the birds would have gotten them by now.” Kimball plays along and replies, “We only saw swallows, and they ignore plants, Captain. African swallows, not European ones, mind you.” +Aaron smiles and replies, “One of my officers was here several months ago and planted a garden.

-Gul Drucel smiles coldly and asks, //“Tell me, Captain Englyss, do these tomatoes have ridges?”// Aaron says brightly, “As a matter of fact, they do!” and shows her a picture of Portuguese tomatoes. Gul Drucel’s smile grows even wider and shows the barest hint of teeth as she says softly, //“I’m afraid, captain, that we have a prior claim on these ridged tomatoes.”// She cuts the channel and the //Prakesh// powers up her disruptor array. Aaron calls out, “Scan that ship! Target priority to her weapons and shields!” The //Boston// and the //Prakesh// scan each other as they jockey for position, and then Aaron orders, “Attack pattern Gamma!” As Eleven maneuvers into position, the //Prakesh// opens fire with her forward spiral wave disruptor! The //Boston// shudders under the barrage but then Kimball returns fire, stripping away the //Prakesh’s// shields and damaging her primary weapon!+Gul Drucel smiles coldly and asks, //“Tell me, Captain Englyss, do these tomatoes have ridges?”// Aaron says brightly, “As a matter of fact, they do!” and shows her a picture of Portuguese tomatoes.

 The //Prakesh// banks to starboard and reroutes power to restore her shields, but Aaron senses an opportunity and orders Kimball, “Let them have it again, both barrels!” Kimball opens fire again, ripping away the just-restored shields and causing power loss throughout the //Prakesh//! The //Prakesh// then surges forward and opens fire with her secondary phaser arrays; she targets the //Boston’s// warp nacelles and then jumps to warp! Aaron is startled at the sudden retreat, but orders, “All hands, secure from battle stations. Damage control teams to your sections!” Ten reports, “Port nacelle took a direct hit, but engineering is already working on it.” T’kora departs the bridge as Aaron hails Shil’vala; her fleet has reached the surface. Shil’vala’s voice is heavily distorted by static, but she reports they’ve made contact with the Bajoran refugees. They’re gathering them now for loading, but then she adds, //“Captain, I need Perrault down here. The Bajorans found some ancient ruins in the caves, and something I think is a Matruse device!”//  The //Prakesh// banks to starboard and reroutes power to restore her shields, but Aaron senses an opportunity and orders Kimball, “Let them have it again, both barrels!” Kimball opens fire again, ripping away the just-restored shields and causing power loss throughout the //Prakesh//!
