Keung led the way down the passage and as they made their way deeper into the guts of the ship.
The quartet covered about thirty meters of the corridor before they paused, and then moved forward again into the semi-lit gloom of the ship. Lee licked his dry lips and felt the anticipation rising in him. No confrontation yet but every person was alert.
They stopped again as they reached the first T-junction, automatically reconfiguring their formation. Lee paused long enough to shoulder his laser carbine and  activated his scan on his hub . After scanning for ten seconds on silent mode, he wordlessly pointed down the new passageway with two fingers.

They came to an  adjoining passage where there was a wide spiral metal staircase leading to  deck 1.  According to Lee’s Hub scans, the bridge was on deck 1. He pointed to   pointed at David and Jonathan  and indicated they should go up first.up.  As the two men took the stairs with their weapons aimed at the top.  Keung own scans indicated there were three lifesigns on deck 1 approaching the stairs.  David  who was climbing the stairs obviously had the same reading on his hub.   He had reached the top, took out a flash bang grenade from his ultility belt and threw over into the corridor on deck 1. There was a flash of light and David then lifted his phaser rifle above his head and fired into the corridor.  He cautiously climbed onto deck 1 to find unmoving three figures laying on the  deck.  David turned to see Jonathan head appearing from the stairs and motioned him to come forward. This was followed by the rest of the group.

Deck 1 was also badly damaged and dark with bodies.  As before there were entry doors to rooms, but Lee motioned everyone to keep going…their objective was to secure the bridge. He felt the rooms could be explored later.

The bridge entrance was just ahead and Lee saw the entry panel beside the doors.  He went over and cautiously press the buttons on the entry panel but the doors  did not respond. Joy took out an explosive device and affixed it to the bridge doors.

She turned round, gave a thumbs up and joined the others crouching down. “fire in the hold” she muttered to herself and pressed the denotator in her hand.  The doors blew open.  Immediately Jonathan  and David lopped flash bangs granades into the interior of the bridge.

They  ran into the smoked filled bridge, firing rapidly at two figures holding weapons.   The entire encounter, from first phaser blast to last, was over in less than two minutes. There six other people staggling around as a result of the flash bang efforts.

“Clear” shouted David.

“Secure these people.” Ordered Lee  breaking radio silence.  He looked around for the Captain of the vessel but he or she was not among the six who were being tied up by the rest of the group. He lifted the visor off his helmet and breathed the stale air on the bridge.

While the defenders were being tied up, Joy went over to one of the bridge consoles and accessed the computer system.  Lee satisfied that there wasn’t going to be any trouble from the tied up bridge crew, ordered David and Jonathan to watch the corridor.  He wandered over to Joy who were was busy manipulating the panel controls.  “Well?” said Lee

“I’ve retrieved the ship’s official cargo manifest, logs and other data.  Transferring the data to my scanners.” Explained Joy.  “Done!”

“Outstanding!” said Lee. “Beta 1 and Charlie 1.  Status?”
