"Harmon, T’Kel, secure the hostiles," said Lieutenant Williams.

Roger carefully moved through the holo recreation of the Exeter bridge. The crew on duty, none of them images of the actual people serving on the ship, lay unconscious, rumpled at their stations or sprawled on the floor near where they worked.

Roger could see a half-dozen hostiles, most humanoid, though one was an alien species he didn't recognize. Carefully moving, he kicked away their weapons, which were variants of Klingon disruptors.

Satisfied they had successfully retaken the bridge, Roger was about to say something to Lieutenant Williams, when he both heard and sensed movement behind him. Looking, the assailant whose race he didn't know, was lunging at him with a large and sharp combat knife.

Reacting quickly, Roger blocked an overhead thrust with his rifle, following the parry by slamming the stock into the attacker's face. There was a loud and sickening crack, a spray of dark red blood, and the man stumbled back, crashing down like a sack of rocks. The knife clattered to the floor. Kicking it away, Roger pointed his weapon at the man, this time certain he was out for the count.

It never occurred to Roger one of the bad guys could be immune to anesthezine gas.
